participating in this patent and the adult there's no matter what matters is that they were participating in this patent and thus annexing whiteness in a very traditional way one post 10 way of being american selecting whiteness in a very traditional way one post 10 way of being american know my to way you your parents are from is next and blackness and tradition know my to way you your parents are from is next and blackness and traditionally and. and has meant and. it has. some on twitter did not agree with such a perception of whiteness wasting no time and denouncing the news outlets on twitter did not agree with such a perception of whiteness wasting their time and denouncing the news outlet but what would they say to a claim grammar is also an example of white supremacy but what would they say to a claim grammar is also an example of white supremacy.

welcome back 7 time doctors are facing trial after refusing to perform welcome back 7 a time doctors are facing trial after refusing to perform an abortion on a woman who later died the woman in question was reportedly 5 months prior and abortion on a woman who later died the woman in question was reportedly 5 months pregnant with twins when she suffered complications she fell seriously ill and according to her family with twins when she suffered complications she fell seriously ill and according to her family the doctors told her the twins would not survive but refused to perform an abortion on moral grounds the doctors told her the twins would not survive but refused to perform an abortion on moral grounds later the woman miscarried and died of septic shock her parents blame the hospital frowns

later the woman miscarried and died of septic shock her parents blame the hospital for her death but doctors refute the claims the doctor told me her death by doctors refute the claims. the doctor told me look there is no hope for the babies but even though valentina is in pain we can't intervene as we can see there is no hope for the babies even though valentina is in pain we can't intervene as we can still hear their heartbeat with the right into biotechs and removing the source of infection to hear their heartbeats with the right into biotechs and removing the source of infection valentino would be alive there was no conscientious objection on behalf of the doctor valentin there would be life there was no conscientious objection on behalf of the doctor that intervened in this case because there was no voluntary terminations of the pregnancy but the intervened in this case because there was no voluntary terminations of the pregnancy but the miscarriage was forced by the grave circumstances or rule out that the doctor could have told the family miscarriage

was forced by the grave circumstances or rule out that the doctor could have told the family what they say he told them abortions had been legal in italy since 1000 what they say he told them abortions had been legal in italy since 1978 but the law gives doctors nurses and other medical staff the right to refuse adim 78 but the law gives doctors nurses and other medical staff the right to refuse on moral grounds and religious grounds unless the mother's life is in danger according to reports on moral grounds and religious grounds unless the mother's life is in danger according to reports the number of doctors in italy refusing to perform abortions has risen by 10 percent as the number of doctors in italy refusing to perform abortions has risen by 10 percent and 12 years many women travel to other regions in the country for the procedure and some resort 12 years many women travel to other regions in the country for the procedure and some resort to illegal abortions we heard opposing arguments to this particular case to illegal abortions

we heard opposing arguments to this particular case. so valentino minutes and would still be alive if he had been good. so valentino minutes and would still be alive if he had been given an abortion or the catholic church any life is a life and even babies go into an abortion of the catholic church any life is a life and even babies who are going to die 2 hours after birth should be born anyway her story is not an isolated indicted hours after birth should be born anyway her story is not an isolated incident it's a countrywide problem in italy and quite often sick women are transferred from child today and it's a countrywide problem in italy and quite often sick women are transferred from charge hospitals to regular hospitals when they are refused treatment when the doctors and hospitals to regular hospitals when they are refused treatment when the doctors in charge hospitals diagnose a birth defect some of them ask the mother you know what is the church hospitals

diagnose a birth defect some of them ask the mother you know what is the name of the baby that is there in the uterus they try to convince her not to terminate the problem with the baby that is there in the uterus they try to convince her not to terminate the pregnancy even the thing though the baby will be born only to die just because they believe it should be and see even the thing no the baby will be born only to die just because they believe it should be so these babies die and the mothers can not be protected by an abortion so these babies die and the mothers can not be protected by an abortion i know it's hard as many of those women want the baby but i'm convinced that they have the right to her and i know it's hard as many of those women want the baby but i am convinced that they have the right to her informed before hand about the risks and that it must be a woman's consider choice if she won before hand about the risks and that it must be a woman's consider choice if she wants to take the risk. pretty massive. more or less

to take the risk. pretty last or. more. not only because i'm a catholic girl because because. not only because i'm a catholic girl because because i think there are so many anyway with ground breaking. i think there are so many anyway with ground breaking. even in 78 when he got your note on the. 78 when he got your note. that i think in the earlier his and the no basically is i think in the earlier his and the no basically is. the factions it's not. it's not a group of factions it's not. it's not clear to the doctor as to the certain things you see so i think the law should be walked to the doctor i

salute and so. so i think the law should be changed i think of war. only one would not change i think of war. only one no no we make sure the seat is terribly new. orleans sure. is terribly new. major. mankind in season season song major. mankind in season and the season song. a burgeoning eastern bromance or a simple sharing of. a burgeoning eastern bromance or a simple sharing of mutual interests that's what we'll find out today as russian president vladimir putin meets perhaps mutual interest that's what we'll find out today as russian president vladimir putin meets perhaps his closest ally in the e.u. hungary and prime minister viktor orban to try to go has more to his closest ally

in the e.u. hungary and prime minister viktor orban to try to go has more details probably have a cozy frank conversation somebody's details. probably if in a cozy frank conversation somebody asks vladimir putin who is your best friend among the leaders of the european asks vladimir putin who is your best friend among the leaders of the european union most likely you would hear him say the name victor or union most likely you would hear him say the name victor or ban i can even put it this way they are known to be great buddies and no band i can even put it this way they are known to be great buddies and knowing how much viktor orban the prime minister of hungary sometimes so keen to go and how much viktor orban the prime minister of hungary sometimes so keen to go against the core of the brussels establishment so to say on so many against the core of the brussels establishment

so to say on so many issues from migration to how the european union deals with russia there will definitely be issues from migration to how the european union deals with russia there will definitely be some very important folks a year of hope be annoyed by this trip as well be some very important folks a year of hope be annoyed by this trip as well probably the most recent example of how beautiful it can be more on the same page oh probably the most recent example of how beautiful it can be more on the same page with moscow than with the western countries is how the hungary age with moscow then with the western countries is how the hungary and government decided to challenge the whole of nato very recently by government decided to challenge the whole of nato very recently by vetoing a joint declaration by nato ambassadors on ukraine here's a vetoing

a joint declaration by nato ambassadors on ukraine here's what the hungarian foreign minister had to say about that because i wouldn't know what the hungarian. foreign minister had to say about that because when we central europeans advocate for eurasian cooperation and pragmatic east west to east central europeans advocate for eurasian cooperation and pragmatic east west relations it's not because we're the spice of the russians because our relationships a close relationship it's not because we're the spice of the russians so because all relationships a close these a lawful insults on the part of all western friends we do so because it is in our national these are laughable insults on the part of our western friends we do so because it is in our national security and national economic interests well let me add just a bit more context social security and national economic interests well let me add just a bit more context to these very quick or band putin talks in the hidden garion capital viktor orban the party to these very quick or band putin talks in the hidden garion

capital viktor orban the party just a little earlier this month did very bad during the mini just a little earlier this month did very bad during the municipal elections in this country and that's why clearly the prime minister will be looking forward to support all actions in this country and that's why clearly the prime minister will be looking forward to scoring some political points in terms of getting himself involved in international scoring some political points in terms of getting himself involved in international politics and here clearly talks with a lot of our putin do count and also we remember politics and here clearly talks with a lot of our putin do count and also we remember that we are expecting a very important summit on the crisis over that we are expecting a very important summit on the crisis in ukraine featuring the russian leader the president of ukraine and also the leaders of germany and for in ukraine featuring

the russian leader the president of ukraine and also the leaders of germany and france and this is where the voice matters too because it is hands and the. this is where the voice matters to because it is a neighbor of ukraine surely the 2 leaders will also discuss all kinds of bilateral issue a neighbor of ukraine surely the 2 leaders will also discuss all kinds of bilateral issues they are looking to expand trade between hungry and moscow also energy use they are looking to expand trade between hungry and moscow also energy projects including the construction of 2 x. straw reactors for a nuclear projects including the construction of 2 x. straw reactors for a nuclear power plant here and hungry and also a possible extension of the term power plant here and hungry and also a possible extension of the turkish stream pipeline project to hungary lot of our kids stream pipeline project to hungary. a lot of more putin and viktor
