The Reuters news agency has withdrawn a video showing an exchange between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping on the subject of organ transplants and living to 150 years, after Chinese state media withdrew legal permission to use the footage and demanded its removal.
A written request from China Central Television’s (CCTV) legal team said Reuters exceeded the usage terms of its agreement and criticised the “editorial treatment applied to this material”, prompting the news agency to remove the footage from its website on Friday.
