there were of you watching us this weekend thanks for checking in with r.t. international for your world news this hour i'm called in by welcome to the program 1st for you then google is being accused of interfering in last year's landmark abortion referendum in ireland by blacklisting certain pro-life search terms on you tube in the run up to the vote the allegation of the tech giant may have attempted to influence the outcome and angered those who voted against allowing abortion in the country protests taking place in dublin this saturday with more on the story. when you type are searched into you cim you expect to see the most relevant results but how do you know that that search result hasn't been manipulated well according to recent revelations you don't in fact it's alleged that google which owns you tube with its you tube search results on the eve of the irish abortion referendum according to the project veritas investigative website google is alleged to have

manipulated its algorithms and employed so-called blacklists on you tube a leaked document shows terms such as save the 8000 pro-life were among those thought to be bolted to google isn't denying that it tweaks results of politically sensitive content on you tube by pushing what it deems to be the most credible videos above the ones with the most views we've been very public that for a wide range of news and information queries we have algorithms that are designed to surface authoritative content of all political viewpoints this helps prevent spam and conspiracy theories from surfacing prominently on our site in the midst of the irish referendum on abortion our systems abroad authoritative content to the top of our search results for abortion related queries this happened for both pro-choice and pro-life queries there was no distinction pro-life groups aren't

convinced by that statement it's that word or thora to vin google statement that's causing concern catholic groups in particular say they want to know why it's enormous google employees who get to decide what is and isn't all thora to save content google interference in the referendum unarmed i think is it should send a warning shot across every to everybody who is interested in democracy google blacklisted beauty. it was and they deliberately and intentionally manipulation the kind of things that people would find when you push in search terms and here's the very obvious question i think from if this was all above board and if this was not serious then why did they hide this why we only learning about this because of projects very tight because somebody in google decided that this was wrong and just to project their interest that's the only reason we know to the pro-life camp only

gone it 33 percent when the vote was held in may and abortion was then legalized denial and that issue has now been put to rest but the dispute over the way google cure rate say its search results isn't going away this is horrific what google has been doing and they really need to be held accountable i mean it's at the point now where they're now interfering with elections in other countries to hear that something like this is happening in ireland in a foreign country where a company in southern california the united states is dictating what gets what search results are seeing ireland to the people of ireland regarding their loss pacifically on things like abortion which is already a very contentious issue in the u.s. throughout the globe is horrific google has absolutely no place to take part in political decisions or social decisions and to make sure that they all alone can tell which is the scene and which is not. looks like iran is going to have to wait

navy's measure is tantamount to maritime piracy britain has no right to impose its own unilateral sanctions all those of the european union in an extra territorial manner against the other countries this is the very poorly in policy of the us britain's foreign office said it would not respond to every single comment about the incident that emerged from iran but it reiterated its position that the action came at the request of gibraltar to how to best are believed to be bound to syria which indeed violates essentially this action the rose from information giving the gibraltar government reasonable grounds to 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 believes that grace one and it's 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 you're

broke 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 be ok i was ok and we have been aware of the operation civil guard patrols have been watching the area but we are investigating the circumstances under which the u.s. and 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 just bolters government said in a statement that they acted independently on their own accord the decisions of her majesty's government of gibraltar would taken to do independently waste some breaches of existing law and not at all based on extraneous political considerations meanwhile the seizure was hailed enthusiastically by a key member of the trumpet ministration excell news yuki has the teen the supertanker grease one laden with the reigning oil bomb for syria in violation of

in the united states you know they speak of the rule of law. than we all the essentials of addition of international law all the traits of a vision of international law this is. a suspected gas explosion has represent the center of the u.s. state of florida injuring 20 people 2 of them seriously the blast is believed to have occurred in a vacant restaurant at around 11 30 am but it's not clear whether the shopping complex was actually open to the public at the time large pieces of concrete and metal you see are scattered across the mall and also outside emergency crews have brought in sniffer dogs to search for anyone who may still be trapped in the rubble . more than 800000 people have signed a petition to the french president urging him to intervene in a controversial case of life and death it's our next story when we come back.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy to let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic to follow only. exists i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and you. want to. have to go right to be close this is what i'm up for 3 of them or can't be good. interested always in the water.

more than 800000 people have now signed a petition urging the french president to intervene in the controversial case of vincent lamba 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 off to france's highest court ended a long running legal battle friday ruling that doctors can disconnect the 43 year old's feeding that will leave him dying slowly of dehydration in a sedated state euthanasia is illegal in france but medics are allowed to put terminally ill patients into a deep state of sedation. death however while some of lubbers relatives believe he

should indeed be allowed to die his catholic parents are strongly opposed to the decision they say that because he only requires basic care and can breathe on his own he's been murdered. i beg you to intervene to remind france of his obligation to respect the precautionary measures prescribed by the community and not to kill my son the young my son is the life of one saw than 700 people who share this condition and that are threatened please help us with more now on the case which is proving to be polarizing both vincent lumbers family and friends society as a whole has marie ivanovna. 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 to vincents 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 been since 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 the pose in 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 all marathon started that resulted in vinson been off and back on life support 5 times after the ruling to stop artificial and trish and 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 and that's all i am ashamed of france this monday been since mother made her very last plea she appeared at the un 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 agreed 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 has been since 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 be 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 especially when you're young of course you don't think you're ever going to die you think you're going to live forever but you know the organization to which i belong friends at the end we urge people to make an advanced directive and it seems that regardless whether the man's and is peaceful or not the fight is far from over he's parents and now preparing to press murder charges. marginal

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 round with europe's powerhouse germany but its folks stick with one of those growth path due in part to backing from another superpower china beijing's military even accompanied one of the troops at this week's anniversary celebrations their performance today has gone beyond our expectations reaching the level of a train we are satisfied with their performance with the west apparently blocking its path the small african nation may have found a different road map to success. african affairs analyst lawrence freeman told us that it's china's extensive investment in rwanda which has been the real driver of its development. unfortunately i think the west is now nearly helping out from country by their country. how democracy when the questions do nothing
