the diesel scandal deepens take a long deep breath reports out today that german call makers tested the dirty diesel take on humans. are coming up one step closer on the road to nailing down the after reports on progress when it comes to case sticking point. british caffeine addict speed where breaks it might mean your favorite coffee barrister's to go hope. this is your business update i'm going to home free in berlin great to have you with us superfluous repulsive absurd and inexcusable that is just some of the reaction to newspaper reports that the german car giants financed talk sic emissions testings on humans as well as all monkeys while the aim was to give diesel a good name and secure valuable tax breaks but it backfired dreadfully. here at the university clinic and in twenty thirteen and fourteen a group of twenty five healthy people were made to inhale nitrogen dioxide in

varying concentrations over periods of hours several times a week the car manufacturers wanted to use the tests to determine exactly how dangerous nitrogen dioxide was to humans the tests were commissioned by the european research organization for environment and health and financed by german carmakers v.w. b.m.w. and german parts supplier bosch the study was supposed to be conducted under the car the that they were to be no negative effects on the human subjects but the methods which have now been revealed have let loose a wave of indignation. and it's absolutely understandable that people are outraged that tests on monkeys and even on human beings cannot be justified. that amounts to nothing more than hot air according to environmental organizations they say the german government has been in bed with the automotive lobby for years. mrs

merkel is really the first chancellor and she even fights in brussels to make sure that emissions regulations are less strict and if possible not controls which control yet and it seems there were no controls at volkswagen either the supervisory board says it knew nothing about the studies and is now threatening consequences. because i'm to complex and complex is reprehensible ethically morally and in that sense i think the w. will have to hold the employees who are responsible for this accountable so they can shift. these revelations will deliver another blow to the german car industry's image. meanwhile fox dog and c.e.o.'s he has acknowledged that the tests on ethical and repulsive want to says he's sorry that fox five was part of the test and says it will be consequences within the company said industries from cosmetics to cleaning products will have to run tests including on humans so where do we draw

the line while we take a look at this next report. clinical trials involving humans are critical for example for the approval of new drugs testing volunteers is the final step in the approval process because findings from animal tests are limited in assessing effects on humans but recent studies on the effects of car exhaust conducted on behalf of the auto industry have set off alarms. the opposite to him till you can only speculate about the politics of underlying intentions as to whether these special interest groups deliberately promote studies like this heat with the aim of coming up with a negative result concerning nitrogen dioxide effects they can then use politically . it's a question of ethics when volunteers endanger their health just with the money from your seven hundred euros compensation is not unusual one reason why the world medical association says in its helsinki declaration medical research can only be

performed on humans when the potential benefits for the subjects of the experiments outweigh the risks and harms but at the cysts a weighing these things up becomes difficult when science becomes untangled with business. wins wins although not too he's going to have to sponsors are exactly the ones who profit from these kinds of experiments and the entire thing is a bit fishy to be so wise it's also an example of the dilemma that scientific research finds itself mired in far from sticked hence the calls for more transparency with such questionable research in the future. to the world's biggest ever digital currency theft a major japanese crypto exchange has lost about four hundred million dollars in digital assets also a hack attack point check says hackers stole eighty m. tokens from its platform on friday it's among the top ten cryptocurrency is in the world by market capitalization the company says it will use its own assets to reimburse the two hundred sixty thousand people

a fact affected by the attack is not yet known when they will get their money back and north american trade ministers have wrapped up the sixth round of free trade talks in montreal the u.s. trade representative saying there had been some progress but that it was slower than hopes the three nations did move forward on telecoms trade barriers and health care but other areas remain at a stalemate although it now looks like that the u.s. will remain in the negotiations the u.s. trade representative finishing the meeting with critical comments directed at negotiating partners let's check in with all man on a wall street now yens quarter good to see you again as we are hearing that some progress has been made on the topic of nafta how optimistic should those in favor of the deal now baby. i would expect any decision any time soon yes the talks continue there will be an extra set of talks next week next

month in mexico and then the eighth and the final round will happen in washington d.c. by the end of march and it's as right as of right now it seems rather likely that the talks will continue that there will be an extension and it could well be into twenty nineteen before we really get a decision so there is some progress it is slow but there seems to be a lot of areas where there is no agreement anytime soon to be expected to stay with us yes we want to have a look at another story now playing out in the us in the german salary the omes american coffee make a coil take is poised to snuff up american soft drink group dr pepper snapple through a series of aggressive takeovers these iman family one of the wealthiest in the country has become one of the world's biggest coffee companies now it's estimated that the combined company so coy like ducks

a patio will turn over about eleven billion u.s. dollars in annual sales best deal doesn't put them in the same ballpark as major players pepsi coke and coca cola. actually escorted in new york then again as they used to say dr pepper so misunderstood but it seems korea take certainly knows its value. well it's going to be the biggest soft drink or merger ever in wall street's history and the environment for beverages hasn't been that easy recently specially for soft drinks where the appetite of consumers cooled off quite a bit but also there's a lot of competition in the coffee and tea market joe kubert by the way belongs to the empire of the german family and the main reason to buy dr pepper snapple is to broaden and to widen the distribution network and there was

quite some reaction here on wall street the dr pepper snap of stock gaining about to twenty percent and so there might be even some hold that an alternative offer might come up on the table and we might see a bidding war for this company so i all financial correspondent yes go to in new york thank you for that yes well from soft drinks to coffee if you're a coffee addict living in london i'm afraid we might have some bad news to you and yesterday's brags that related britain's impending departure from the european union could threaten the very future of the way you start your day correspondent back at my house mall in central london speciality coffee shops have sprung up everywhere in the smallest of spaces. and even in form of public toilets for coffee lovers like me this is very lucky bought mine this comes on and off the bricks and. it takes some skills to prepare a really good coffee. the attendant has the special show more formal public you
