When you type are searched into you expect to see the most relevant results but how do you know that that search result hasnt been manipulated well according to recent revelations you dont in fact its 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 socalled black lists on you tube a leaked document shows terms such as save the 8000 prolife were among those thought to be bolted to google isnt 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 weve 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 prochoice and prolife queries there was no distinction prolife groups arent convinced by that statement its that word or thora to vin google statement thats causing concern catholic groups in particular say they want to know why its enormous google employees who get to decide what is and isnt or thora to save content google interference in the referendum unarmed i think is a should send a warning shot across every chair everybody who was 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 heres 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 i mean just to project their interest thats the only reason we know that these are the prolife 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 isnt going away this is horrific what google has been doing and they really need to be held accountable i mean its at the point now where theyre 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.

Close to 100000 people have signed an open letter to the french president to intervene in a controversial case of life and death. Something wrong with being rich and being rich is nothing wrong with it people work hard they make a lot of money and for a lot of people thats very satisfying but when you become a rapacious monopolist then you are heading up like in the pharmaceutical industry one or 2 or 3 major to kratz collusion colluding monopolist and all of us pricing thats not wretch thats ironic. Logan more than 100000 people have now signed an open letter to the french president urging him to intervene in the controversial case of vincent lam but hes a former psychiatric nurse whose life support systems are being switched off after almost 11 years after a car crash left him in a vegetative state with no hope of recovery a call comes off the frances highest court ended a long running legal battle on friday ruling that doctors can disconnect the 42 year olds feeding. And i believe him dying slowly of dehydration but innocent dated state euthanasia is illegal in france but medics are allowed to put terminally ill patients into a deep state of sedation until the death however while some of lab has relatives that believe he should indeed be allowed to die his Catholic Parents are strongly opposed to the decision they say because he only requires basic care and can breathe on his own hes being murdered. I beg you to intervene to remind frances not legation to respond to the precautionary measures prescribed by the comedian and not to kill my son the young my son in the lives of once all the nearly 700. Had this condition that i threatened please help us. With more on the case which has proved to be polarizing both vincent family and Friends Society as a whole. 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 vinsons semiconscious condition was irreversible the question arose for the 1st time should we incent continue receiving life support assistance or not its not a question that is easy or simple to answer and it has divided 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 person who does not fall under frances 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 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 lets be perfectly honest with you removed 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 vinsons 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 its. Not realizing what hes living. Normally should storm is little. To 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 its a crime thats 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 sons life skills in rooms im sorry for being too emotional im crying knowledge of the top of my voice that this is the murder offense and thats the right word while were not being listened to vincent is a human being he is not an object hes 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. Thats the end of this dispute there is no longer any plea that can be made it can suspend the discontinuation of there is no longer any legal obstacle to the discontinuation of care and so thats the end of this legal case bensons 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 dont and especially when youre young of course you dont think youre ever going to die you think youre 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 mans and is peaceful or not the fight is far from over hes parents and now preparing to press murder charges. R. T. Now into its 9th month the 34th consecutive weekend yellow vest protesters are again marching through the streets of paris where police have been called into action. I. Tear gas was you sporadically to disperse the demonstrators this saturday the rally started in november last year against fuel hikes book quickly expanded to a nationwide and to go. The numbers of those involved have been waning in recent weeks and comes on the back of months of violence which led the french government to introduce regulations against the protesters. This month rwanda marks the end of one of the most harrowing chapters in modern history the 994. 00 genocide over the course of 100. 00 days in the summer of 194800000 people were killed most of the dead were from the sea tribe with those perpetrating the violence from the hutu majority in the 25 years since that atrocity rwanda has made significant steps forward regularly ranked among the safest african countries but still faces a number of challenges. A solemn anniversary for the troubled african nation of rwanda its 25 years since one of the worst genocides of recent times this history. Where not repeat. That is out on me to. Ever find their way to forgive. Backward or not to want kogan also known as the genocide against the ethnic tutsi in 994 almost a 1000000 people were killed this escalation 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 rwandas 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 ranked 5th safest in the world for walking at night with singapore topping the list no surprise rwandas called the singapore of africa and also now one of the cleanest places on earth when the countries is increasing.

Today has gone beyond our expectations reaching the level of the 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 its chinas extensive investment in rwanda which has been the real driver of its development. Unfortunately i think the west is now youre really helping out from country by their country or the 100 mark kristie when the west has done nothing nothing to actually promote use of structure in economic to go. Its a shameful at both United States and other European Countries its only been the list kennesaw years that china that you ship or prison building and they actually begun to build rearwards how pollutes 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 as a hammer to beat upon beat up and sometimes regime change in african nations ok thats how it looks from moscow so far this saturday november to get more from our teams news programs with our mobile apps ill be back here to update you after bust.
