believe that the vessel the grace one was acting in breach of european union sanctions against syria now the e.u. sanctions in place prevent syrian regime from importing oil and gibraltar said it believed that grace one and its barrels of rain in oil were bound for syria however it's understood that iran has provided these documents to the u.k. proving that the vessel was transiting to a primitive destination although it didn't exactly specify where since then. and spain have become embroiled in a row about the seizure with madrid saying that grace one was intercepted because of a request from the u.s. to the u.k. if the level was ok and we have been aware of the operations civil guard. have been watching the area which were investigating the circumstances under which the u.s. had its petition to the u.k. well as well as spain a senior iranian foreign ministry official said that the united states had asked the u.k. to intercept the ship however it your bolters government said in a statement that they acted independently on their own accord the decisions of her

synchrotrons including france and germany and even the u.k. haven't done enough to keep the deal alive meanwhile other countries including russia have weighed in on the diplomatic row with russia's foreign ministry saying that the seizure is an attempt to aggravate the situation around iran and syria and that the reaction from london and washington shows that the incident had been planned in advance. and moving on the environmental activist. shot to fame by leading a wave of student climate protests appears to be drawing the ire of motorists in germany let's take a look because across the country sporting offensive bumper stickers ridiculing her campaigning it seems doubtful their stance will stop the 16 year old vote she's already earned a nomination for a nobel peace prize and her photo has appeared on the cover of time magazine.

demonstrate that people are eager to come up the reasons which may be contributing to climate change over 70 percent here for instance said they're prepared to give up short haul flights a majority would also be willing to pay more for meat products but on the bottom here when it comes to fuel it's a different story with only 27 percent in favor of higher prices indeed those latter figures could be explained by germany's passion for cars the importance of the country's auto industry now the elements for one 5th of germany's industrial i put provides there you go over 800000 jobs as well political commentator ikea hummer told r.t. that efforts to target that particular sector won't prove popular. so in germany knievel already feel or there's something going on against them and is especially if it's regarding their arse germs are concerned oh no the climate change is

specially because it really kind of page has started so all of me there most of the people who just follow the barking off the problem around are. telling us that they are close by and now they realise that their best of these n.g.o.s extensions one climate change. where he started or will be restricting jobs in germany are you straight and restraining people using their car and these 2 nurse where the germans are the 1st one who said well i don't there we are rather. jar and our cars then do a little planning james. bosco has slammed a new strategy by the u.s. development agency title country in malign kremlin influence the russian foreign

ministry has dismissed it as a propaganda tool of ideological war for. the term countering is a clumsy attempt to conceal the aggressive offensive approach this conception is blatantly aimed at propagating risa phobia in the world especially in neighboring countries to russia on our side we have proven multiple times that we are open to establishing constructive cooperation with the us on a basis of equality of rights and the consideration of mutual interests however malicious and the russian propaganda by washington which strikes because domination cancels out these efforts it's a great pity. usaid say's its main goal is to boost the resilience of partner countries and focuses on preventing meddling on reducing economic and energy independence on russia with washington's funding that funding will also be given to local media to ensure their independence trustworthiness us and funding will build the capacity of indigenous media to provide trusted independent news and

they put themselves on the line they did accept the reject. so when you want to be president and you. want to. have to go to be pros this is what before 3 of the people. interested always at the water's edge. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race is very dramatic to follow only closely i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and

talk. hello again more than 100000 people have signed an open letter to the french president. urging him to intervene in the controversial case of lumber he's a former psychiatric nurse whose life support systems are being switched off almost 11 years after a car crash left him in a vegetative state with no hope of recovery the call comes after francis highest court ended a long running legal ruling that doctors can disconnect the 42 year old's feeding troops that will leave him dying slowly of dehydration in the sedated state

euthanasia is illegal in the country but medics are allowed to put terminally ill patients into a deep state of station all until their death however while some of lumber relatives believe he shouldn't be allowed to die his catholic parents are strongly opposed to the decision they say because he only requires basic care on counting breathe on his own he's being murdered. i beg you to intervene to remind france of its obligation to respect the precautionary measures prescribed by the community and not to kill my son the young my son is the life of oneself and 700 people who share this condition that are threatened please help us. ok let's explore a little deeper into a case which has proved to be polarizing both for of birth family and french society as a whole here. this could be the end of a complicated contradictory and absolutely heartbreaking case which has lost more

than a decade in 2008 a traffic accident left vincent lumbered a french nurse in a vegetative state his brain was unresponsive his body was paralyzed he could only be fed and hydrated artificially after a 5 year battle for his life the battle for his death has started when numerous medical exams stated vinson's semiconscious condition was irreversible the question arose for the 1st time should be vincent continue receiving life support assistance or not it's not a question that is easy or simple to answer and it has divided to instance family his wife and 6 of his siblings wanted to let him die peacefully as they put it this is not the life vincent himself would want to leave opposing them were his parents arguing that vincent is simply a disease person who does not fall under france's and of life legislation and that he should leave when the 2 sides failed to reach an agreement to dish

a marathon started that resulted in vincent been off and back on life support 5 times after the ruling to stop artificial and tradition was confirmed by 5 different legal bodies including the european court for human rights we do rely on doctors of course and as a see vincent has been in this state for 10 years so his chances of recovery let's be perfectly honest with you a route how much does he understand what quality of life does he have would you wish this sort of life on your worst enemy never mind the loved one winces mother was never ready to give up at one point she even released a video clips of vincent's crying in attempt to show that he does feel and he is aware. but brain specialists say that this is not necessarily the case as far as saying it's. not realizing what he's living.

normally should storm is mostly. they have nothing to do with emotions several more times the mother has tried to persuade the public and legislators that vincent should leave however every time she appealed him being taken off life support the plug was pulled anyway you know it's all right i'm sort of i am ashamed of france this monday been since mother made her very last plea she appeared at the u.n. human rights council in geneva emotionally appealing for her son's life skills in rooms i'm sorry for being too emotional i'm crying knowledge of the top of my voice that this is the murder offense and that's the right word while we're not being listened to vincent is a human being he is not an object he's had has been held under water i agree to come here in the hope that we might be able to defend him but despite all the

efforts vincent was taken off of life support yet again the very next day. that's the end of this dispute there is no longer any plea that can be made that can suspend the discontinuation of there is no longer any legal obstacles to the discontinuation of care and that's the end of this legal case benson's stories truly heartbreaking and controversial in many ways the battle of 2 sides of one family both wishing the best for their loved one the mother says she was fighting against a system that she believes fails to protect its citizens but some point out there was an important lesson to bill learned from vincents case in an ideal world most of us or all of us should discuss death with our loved ones. of course we don't and especially when you're young of course you don't think i'm going to die you think you're going to live forever but you know the organization to which i belong

friends the end we urge people to make an advanced directive but it seems that regardless whether the man's and it's peaceful or not the fight is far from over he's parents and now preparing to press murder charges. more for r.t. . now into its 9 month a 34th consecutive weekend in fact yellow vest protesters are again marching through the streets of paris where police have been called into action. i was. tear gas was used for of likely to disperse the demonstrators and the rally started during the last year in november against if you will but were to expand into a nationwide government movement now the numbers of those involved how being winning in recent weeks comes on the back of months of violence which led the french government to in shoes regulations against the protesters.

a small row wanda marks the end of one of the most horrifying chapters in modern history the 1994 genocide over the course of $100.00 days in the summer of 190-480-0000 people were killed most of the dead were tutsis with those perpetrating the violence from the hutu majority in the 25 years since the atrocity the country has made significant steps forward it's regularly ranked among the safest african countries for instance but still faces a number of challenges. a solemn anniversary for the troubled african nation of rwanda it's 25 years since one of the worst genocides of recent times this history . will not repeat. that is out on me to. ever find their way to forgive. but not to one

forget. also known as the genocide against the ethnic tutsi in 994 almost a 1000000 people were killed the assassination of the ethnic hutu president triggered the slaughter of some 70 percent of the people elation quarter of a century on the more the deep scars remain something of a surprising trends formation amazingly real wonders 29th in the world for these of doing business head of spain france japan and china in terms of corruption similar remarkable progress in the top $58.00 of italy malta the country was even ranked 5th safest in the world walking at night in singapore topping the list no surprise for one the school the singapore of africa and also now one of the cleanest places on earth when the country's recent cream. it's nice to.

grow under still far from being a paradise it remains a relatively poor country and democracy is not entrenched the e.u. knows serious violations of civil and political rights in fact the west is locked in conflict with the white house slipping steep tariffs on the nation and a major row with europe's powerhouse germany but it's failed to stop the wonders growth it's due in part to backing from another superpower china beijing's military even accompanied one troops at this week's anniversary celebrations there before. today has gone beyond our expectations reaching the level of we train we are satisfied with their performance with the west apparently blocking its path a small african nation may have found a different road map to success. just all not a lot or a point african affairs analyst lawrence freeman told us that china is extensive investment in rwanda has been the real driver of its development. i think the

west is now really helping out from country by the country. on democracy when the west has done nothing nothing to actually control infrastructure uneconomical. so it's a shameful at both the united states and other european countries it's only been the last kennesaw year with. china that you ship or president xi jinping and they actually begun to build railroads tell ports. where the previous 50 years nothing was done by western nations and that to me crews that are not that serious about mark receipt and that they use democracy they hammer to beat upon being up and sometimes regime change in african nations. can we trust

the world's biggest multinationals to lower our dependence on plastic that's the question posed next to a plastic surgery coca-cola is it insecure. we have few experts haitian bad when we lifted people out of poverty when we became richer then we'd become. and i think valley's what a lot of people ah struggling with now the expected that once they reached a certain level of income then they would be happy. and yet we create new size we create new things we want and i think sometimes we run out of explanations for why we feel unhappy. if you will not obey the voice of the lord your god will be careful to do all these

commandments and the state huge which i command you this day then all these curses shall come upon you and overtake you on legs and then the white people is stolen property and the point must pretend to black people if they get rid of whites only problems will go away. the financial folks need within the community as president of the physical. white farmers and so the free go every single day. people being tortured to death expression the elderly people in the wooden dome. manias somebody. like in the place white or so find themselves affected by credit and we often point to one effect means in greens oh it's all sweats and a lot of. what are you going to have for dinner through the ceiling if anything i'm

asking for a maybe a bad cold feet to the civil war in south africa is even if it's. good or unfair. why is there any chunk not be in the total viewer and to gain. so other temporary orders that are modern before go to final trial actually do allow me to address them as james and his male pronouns but i cannot do that in front of 3rd parties who know him as a girl so basically i can't go to a school or keep them away from any friends he might have at school that known as a girl at my home is known as james and i use male pronouns what i'm prohibited from doing right now is try to convince him that he's actually a boy. the
