the world use like we do, we revisit places day, i'll just are really invest in that. and that's a privilege. as a journalist, ah, felton johnson stop selling opioids in the us and makes a multi $1000000.00 settlement. just days before dance montrose ah, convent elvis, his elders are alive from the coming of officials in florida, say a fire inside the rubble of the collapse building and slowing merits defiance of the highly contagious delta various drive. the recall code 19 infections in indonesia and it's led to a lockdown in australia's biggest city turkey, beginning construction on a mega project,

linking the mediterranean with the black sea environmentalist. so calling up a bridge to fall. ah, us drug make at johnson. johnson says it has stopped selling opioids across the country. it's part of a $230000000.00 settlement made with the state of new york attorney general lateesha. james said the company's pain killers contributed to an opioid epidemic. the u. s. centers for disease control says, nearly half a 1000000 people died from opioid overdose is between 1999 in 2019 for my can as lie for a sound washington. d. c. might tell us more about the settlement. and what johnson johnson is saying about selling of appeal well, that's one of my negotiations between johnson and johnson and the new york state

attorney general. now the agreement has been reached, essentially johnson and johnson has agreed to pay some $230000000.00 over a period of 9 years. but the company itself does not have any blame at this particular point as saying that it is doing the settlement without accepting any blame in this particular case. it says to that it had already stopped selling and distributing opioid some 5 years ago. this is something that the state attorney general had disputed, but in terms of the agreement that the company has signed it now commit completely to not selling opioids at any point in the future or resuming any of that. but significant to notice that this comes just days before a massive trial was due to start in new york involving a large number of opioid manufacturers. johnson and johnson will no longer be part of the trial. so effectively, by paying that settlement money, it hits removed itself from

a trial that is utterly unprecedented in terms of its scope. also, very importantly, it is a jury trial which has never happened before in this type of case. and mike, other big pharmaceutical companies, i'm thinking of heard, who pharma have faced lawsuits for the same thing? and we tried to find ways to, i guess, pay money without having to accept too much responsibility going forward. i guess this part of a sort of reckoning. i guess you could say over the opioid crisis. well, let's just take a look in the united states. hello. there are some 3000 cases pending against pharmaceutical companies and their distributors. now if you add to that, the international impact of 0 point, this is a massive multi $1000000000.00 business, and there is a huge amount of money at stake. now, johnson and johnson has now removed itself from the legal proceedings in new york state. there may be other proceedings down the line, but at the same time,

this particular case taking place in new york city is a way that could guide the way forward for both a national and international dealing with this particular matter. so other companies at the big ones that you mentioned not, not likely, again to be looking very closely at the deal that johnson and johnson struck because it has effectively removed itself from the arena. in this particular occasion, by paying out a large sum of money. admittedly, but the potential cost these pharmaceutical companies just in the new york state trial remembering as well, that it is a jury that will be deciding is certainly absolutely huge. and some may argue that johnson and johnson has avoided paying massive penalties by reaching the settlement with the new york state attorney general. right, thank you for that up there. there mike hannah in washington dc. a fire inside the rubble of

a collapsed building and florida is hampering efforts by rescue cruise to find survivors. teams are working 24 hours a day and so side, florida, just outside of miami, for people who don't have died when the collapse happened to on thursday, but 159 still unaccounted for. how did her castro live from sir side net miami? heidi tell us more about this fire and how it's impacting those rescue efforts. i will briefly pause some of the search and rescue efforts when overnight, firefighters had to focus on digging a protective fire trench in the hopes of isolating this fire wherever it may be. underneath all this rubble and that gets to the meat of the problem of this place for them is they don't even know where it is exactly or what is on fire. they just know that it is deeply buried beneath this rubble, and it makes them nearly impossible task of finding rescuing more survivors now.

going on 3 days after the disaster, all the more difficult, the city of miami dade county mer, though, said that she and others are not giving up. our top priority now continues to be search and rescue. we continue to have hope. we're continuing to search. we're looking for people alive in the rebel. that is our priority, and our team have not stopped our after hours through the night. they have been working. meanwhile, questions of course being asked about how this so why this happened. and heidi a report has been released, which was done back in 2018, which found some structural damage to the building. tell us more about that. that's right. honestly, this buildings management commission that report 3 years ago and the structural

engineer found what he called major structural damage to the steel and concrete support for this building that was caused by weathering. this is a 40 year old building on the edge of the ocean battered by hurricanes by the sea breeze by salt, by water. but the engineer also said that he found a major error in construction. in that there was little drainage of this corrosive water from around the parking garage area of the building, which is in the lower levels and from the looks of the video and other experts that have analyzed both far. they say that looks very suspicious and may be the cause of that disaster. however, the authorities are saying that this is going to be a process that is thorough that may take months to investigate, to really determine what brought this building down. they are certainly looking at those structural issues. they're also considering whether this could have been

a sink hole that appeared beneath the building or a climate change played a role. all of those questions, of course, are pending. but right now, the authorities are very clear that the focus is on the continued search for signs of life within the building. and the very sad news is that in the last 24 hours, there has been no signs of life here. for now, i think that hydro cast her there in south side, florida me covered cases arising in countries around the world with indonesia and russia, breaking daily wrinkles. indonesia surpassed to record 21000 cases on saturday while russia recorded 619 because of the depth. it's worse day this year. most increases a blamed on the highly contagious delta variant shala balance or at a hospital on the outskirts of jakarta,
