a school grounds keeper the california jury ruled a weed killer made by will the sun to costco and save him is the first lawsuit to go to trial alleging a life phosphate linked to cancer but the case could pave the way for thousands of other cases like how it has moved washington d.c. claim of damages this was the first lawsuit concerning life assayed to go to trial and after a month of hearing evidence and three days of deliberation the jury decided that it had caused the wayne johnson's cancer did round up pro or ranger pro failed to perform as safely as an ordinary consumer would have expected when used or misused in an intended or reasonably foreseeable way answer yes was the roundup pro or ranger pro design a substantial factor in causing harm to mr chance an answer yes

a faces the possibility of more massive payouts to come i cannot al-jazeera the hundreds of people have been injured or have to remain in please use tear gas and water cannon at an anti government rally in bucharest. thousands of rumanians including many experts were calling for the government to resign many had traveled from other parts of europe to attend the protests against the governing social democrats they blame the party for corruption and the lack of opportunities . many people in south africa have become impatient at land imbalance where roughly seven percent of the population owns about seventy percent of arable land and a direct challenge to the government hundreds of families from an informal settlement outside cape town have taken to illegally occupying private land for me to miller has more from stellenbosch. slivers of light shines through the simply furnished home of no one decent she's been living on this land illegally for three

weeks there are dozens more roughly built homes dotted across this hill in still and bosh near cape town an area known for its affluent vineyards and estates. it's because of our government that we are here we have asked for lent before but they have not helped us we have to make a lot of noise and fight to get this land here a court is ordered that no more can be built and those that have been occupied be destroyed but as night falls people scurry to bring in more building material. is the believe this is our land that was taken from our ancestors even though the current owner bought this land the previous owner stole this land and so now it needs to be returned to us while we are taking the land. according to government statistics of africa's white minority population owns more than seventy percent of privately owned farming land under political and public pressure to reform land ownership the ruling african national congress says it will support moves to change

the constitution to allow the seizure of land as long as it does not harm the agricultural sector or the economy but it's unclear how this will be done and who will qualify for the land while acknowledging the need for urgent land reform presidents forum up was appears to be struggling with a balancing act this week while addressing investors he said the government would not allow land grabs and an alkie wanting to calm the fears of the business community but deciding between what land those people need and what investors want may not make everyone happy the government says it plans to seize one hundred and thirty nine farms across south africa before the constitution is changed if successful amendments to the constitution could be avoided there are fears seizing land without compensation could. scale off investors violate property rights and hurt crude production critics say talk around land exposed creation is

a ploy for votes ahead of next year's elections rather than a sincere attempt to reform land ownership and that expectations should be managed meanwhile people here could face eviction as the landowner returns to court in the coming weeks to have them removed and for me to joins us now from stellenbosch i mean to me to a sensitive issue really that's been rumbling of cross society in south africa the decades now and really the question is nucular workable solution be found eventually that will suit everyone. well that's the difficulty sale that the government is experiencing in that there's a spurs for the explode creation of land given that many black south african specifically have been without homes and land for decades now since the dawn of a party in south african one thousand nine hundred four so the is this great debate around the exposure ration of land versus looking after the economy and just how it will affect the greater south africa where we are now in stellenbosch the local

municipality says that at least twenty two thousand people have been on a waiting list for a whole many of them waiting decades as i said and in the greater cape town area we're looking at about three hundred forty thousand people waiting for homes they're complaining that the government isn't able to keep up with this demand and and that's something that the government has acknowledged but to give us a better idea of the frustrations of the people here in cairo monday instead of gosh we speaking to a wanna. scuse me. who is a member of the political party the economic freedom fighters and also a community leader now the local government here says that it does have municipal land available for people but instead the people have settled on this privately owned land have chosen to do that instead why. are there took no board didn't know of other proved to them the number of them made available for the people to argue

part of their very they were there with the if they said that before this we want people sitting here there was a there on the end that news producer you have a rebel. so no the land was available in the offices not here so those are her choose to come here because this land is never been used to living there for more than twenty years so that's why they jump in here and then the city because the music bug is too deaf to listen to the people that's why they moved from what we've seen it's clear that the is a certain level of desperation in that people want to live closer to centers of economic activity apart from wanting homes is the position that the government has at this point around the explosion expropriation of land without paying compensation is that one that people who support use of cause these people they've been living in these houses behind the houses they've been called piggy others because they're living in somebody else's property they've been paying the rent but mr pollack door the doctrine of still in business

a party doesn't employ people they were working for four months. they don't have a stable job taking small money but i don't doubt that they still have to pay the rent on so that's why they're there they become so desperate to have their place to call home that belongs to them so that's why they choose to come here and sit because they're not going to be paying rent reza thanks so much for your time people here say that if government pushes for the exposed ration of land without compensation it will be it will allow them to to contribute to the economy in a more meaningful way but of course the government is sitting in a very precarious position we are just months away from a national election here in south africa so people don't want this just to be a political position that doesn't bear any fruit but one that is actually meaningful and contributions to many south africans who are without land and home soil. for me to thanks for joining us from stellenbosch. now the syrian army is

erbil to cities in sweden germany and holland to me flight had to be and how to fly it is to make the name of it is well known internationally so people have more curiosity to visit the good distance and it is the safest areas in iraq and the most economically stable. can grow if things are stable construction cranes dot the skyline but there are also shells of buildings scattered throughout the capital of iraq's kurdish region reminders of the grand aspirations of luxury condominiums shopping malls and businesses yet to be fulfilled there are one point four million people working for the government and public sector in the semi autonomous kurdish region of northern iraq that's more than one fifth of the population employees have seen their salaries cut some months they haven't been

paid. this stems from a dispute over oil exports and budget payments between baghdad and the regional government here in two thousand and fourteen the iraqi government stopped providing funds to the region the money. pays the salaries of government and public sector employees such as kahar hussein and his wife her teaching salary has been slashed in half they say they're owed twelve thousand dollars in unpaid wages and. there is a lot of pressure on us we can't afford any vacations we can only afford food and hope to survive every month and every year this year the federal government resumed payments but not at the pre-teen and fourteen level were made because he had any present the hope of the people is that the economy goes back to where it was the political the social problems every other problem they are all connected to the

the high supply means it's not very cheap so if they go lies the cultivation its will have no value we have been asking to legalize the trade for twenty years and they were against it and now they want to do this to gain political support from the people who are fed up with the politicians. it's a multimillion dollar industry which an international consulting firm says could help lebanon struggling economy it would first have to introduce new seedlings that have medical properties a draft bill has been proposed in parliament proponent say the people of the region will benefit. in my proposal to help farmers they have been the victims they can't openly sell it because it's illegal so dealers benefit most by imposing a price on the farmers and selling the product for higher prices and those dealers have political cover leave. it's not the first time the idea has been put forward and it may take months before parliament votes on the bill. the farmers say they

have little choice but to grow cannabis in order to survive people are poor and there are little economic opportunities they blame the authorities for neglecting their area the livelihoods of tens of thousands depend on this trade which is controlled by the region's powerful families growing cannabis is cheap and alternative crops can't survive the harsh climate here that is one reason why attempts to eradicate the cultivation after the civil war in the one nine hundred ninety s. failed there are those who believe the government should support this industry. today you have. been all. so it's very important for to cultivate such amounts of land where you can get more than forty projects out of it. the best. you can just get it out of that. it's out of that the united nations says lebanon is one of the largest
