the diesel scandal deepens take a long deep breath reports out today that german call makers tested the dirty diesel take on humans but also coming up one step closer on the road to nailing down now after reports on progress when it comes to key sticking point. british caffeine out explain where breaks it might mean your favorite coffee barrister's to go hope. this is your business update i'm going 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 called giants financed talks to commissions testings on humans as well as all monkeys well the aim was to give diesel a good name and secure valuable tax breaks but it backfired dreadfully. here

at the university clinic in aachen 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 common factor is 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 comic is b w diamond b.m.w. and german pot supplier bosch the study was supposed to be conducted under the cover but 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 ethically justified even 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. paul now clues to else the missing miracle is really the first car chancellor 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. just because i'm to complex systems how complex is reprehensible ethically morally and in that sense i think b.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 logons. has acknowledged that the test on ethical and repulse is what it says he's sorry that fox thought it was part of

the test and says it will be consequences within the company of industries from cosmetics to cleaning products so hostile run tests including on humans so where do we draw the line when we say that in 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 you can only speculate about the politics of underlying intentions as to whether these special interest groups deliberately promote studies like this 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 in danger of their health just for the money

a mere 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 ethicists say weighing these things up becomes difficult when science becomes untangled with business. when not to it'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 the sun rises it's also an example of the dilemma that scientific research finds itself mired in far from strict and 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 off to a hack attack point check says hackers stole any 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 in 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 some progress has been made on the topic of nafta how optimistic should those in favor

of the deal now be. i would expect any decision anytime soon yes the talks continue there will be an extra set of talks next week next month in mexico and then the eighth through any 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 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 owns american coffee make a coil take is poised to snuff up american soft drink group dr pepper snapple through a series of aggressive takeovers the hyman 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 dr patent 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 sake certainly knows its value. well it's going to be the biggest soft drink or merger ever in wall street some history and the environment for beverages hasn't been that easy recently specially for soft drinks where the epa type of consumers cooled off quite a bit but also there's a lot of competition in the coffee and market to cure it by the way it 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 and alternative offer might come up on the table and we might see a bidding war for this company so i often feel correspondent yes go to new york thank you 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 yes it is 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 must small 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 has come down and off the bricks and
