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 where 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 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 opposing them were his parents arguing that vincent is simply a person who does not fall under france's and of life legislation and that he
7:20 pm
should leave when the 2 sides failed to reach an agreement to dish a marathon started that resulted in vinson been off and back on life support 5 times after the ruling to stop artificial attrition 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
7:21 pm
saying it's. not realizing what he's living the. normal reaction story is. 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 a crime that's all i am ashamed of france this monday been says 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 agree to come
7:22 pm
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 care there's no longer any legal obstacle to the discontinuation of care and so 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 vincent's case in an ideal world most of us or all of us should discuss death with our loved ones of. we don't especially when you're young of course you don't think you're ever going to die you think

7:24 pm
rwanda it's 25 years since one of the worst genocides of recent times this history . will not repeat. that is our farm economy to. everybody we forgive. but would renate one get also known as the genocide against the ethnic tutsi in 994 almost a 1000000 people were killed this solution of the ethnic hutu president triggered the slaughter of some 70 percent of the tutsi population. quarter of a century on the more the deep scars remain something of a surprising trends formation amazingly rwanda's 29th in the world for ease of doing business ahead of spain france japan and china in terms of corruption similar remarkable progress in the top 50 head of italy or malta the country was even
7:25 pm
ranked 5th safest in the world for walking at night with singapore topping the list no surprise or wonders called the single port of africa and also now one of the cleanest places on earth when the countries is increasing it's a little less nice in a. row under still far from being a paradise it remains of 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 slapping steep tariffs on the nation and a major row with europe's powerhouse germany but it's failed to stop rwanda's growth perhaps due in part to backing from another superpower china beijing's military even accompanied rwandan troops at this week's anniversary celebrations their performance 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 the small african nation may have found a different roadmap to success. in 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 rest is now merely helping out from country by their country. under modesty when the west has done nothing nothing to actually promote infrastructure in economical. it's a shameful act but united states and other european countries it's only been the last 10 or so years. china that you ship or president xi jinping and they actually begun to build railroads pollutants in ports. where the previous 50 years nothing was done by western nations and that to me crews that are not that
