this is news from a us ruling threatens to bring a chemical giants to its knees a dying man awarded almost three hundred million dollars after a jury says to give him counsel the company is facing thousands of similar lawsuits and to find out what this means someone from to and for its german owners also coming up. the leaders of spain and germany reach an agreement on migration with

madrid promising to take back migrants please put germany but critics say that will do little to stop the flow. of currencies comets and you know the president rejects even after one blames the u.s. saying it and other countries own waging economic war against his country. i am glad you could join us a jury in the u.s. state of california has found guilty of causing terminal cancer in a plaintiff who was exposed to the weed killer as they ordered the chemicals giant which is now owned by germany's bya to pay two hundred fifty million dollars in punitive damages plus the two nine million in compensation. is in san francisco

fast tracked the case because the man is dying the main johnson had used the chemicals in his job as a groundskeeper. did roundup pro or ranger pro fail to perform as safely as an ordinary consumer would have expected when you 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 johnson answer yes. what amount of punitive damages if any do you award to mr johnson answer two hundred fifty million dollars i'm glad to be here to be able to help with a cause is way bigger than me so hopefully this thing will start to get the attention that it needs to gay rights supposed to make a good choice every major known human carcinogen had a moment like this

a moment when the science finally caught up when they could no longer bury it where people had to actually look at it and say we have a problem and this case is that moment. so that case was the first such ruling on one such as roundup we kill which contains a gradient to life for say to los angeles new german on a by a believe that the jury is mistaken and they will appeal but we're now going to talk to the who's actually been following the story for us thank you for joining us and if so what can you tell us about rhonda it's it's for many years been the most commonly used we kill in the world it's used around the globe it's been in use for more than forty years everybody's using it people use it in their private gardens people use it in commercial nurseries people use it's farmers uses acca agriculture and it's all over the place and has been used for a very long time. the problem is that this guy for say eight ingredient which is

what kills the plants that you spray it on to is now controversial has been for some years and there are a number of countries around the world that have found it or at least very strictly limited how much it can be used and how much can be used in public places like parts and things like that so we just saw him up on our screens showing just how widely used roundup is is that why this case is so important you have them at the map is showing which countries are actually banning all restricting the use of round up or of life to say containing we can as yet the problem is that it is being you. used everywhere and now the company that produces the monsanto now owned by buyers you said that company says that this is therefore the most studied we've career in the world and that nothing nothing has come up yet to prove it and this case is crucial because it's the first one to actually make that specific link between round up and actual cancer that is killing this man and many others but

it looks like this case is not over yet as we mentioned buyers looking to appeal the ruling they don't want to pay dwayne johnson they don't want to pay any of the others who are lining up to make similar claims and they said they will fight it they're doubling down they're saying that the life sate is not counts of course in a general but the interesting thing is that they keep saying the faith itself is not carcinogenic what was it was argued in the in the court room was that it wasn't that chemical itself but that it was a combination of that plus a second chemical in the week which made sure that the driver saved went into that goes into the lease of the plant but this combination is so carcinogenic and that's something that monsanto hasn't really at address it'll be interesting to see how much science ends up in the courtrooms certainly had a cleaver thank you very much for your insights. in rumania there were more protests as being held in the capital bucharest and to government activists

spain for informal talks a new deal took in fact spain will take back migrants already registered there who reach germany. although the number of such cases is low it's an important agreement for america. it's a commitment to help another country is struggling with an issue. just as germany is committed to helping spain for example with morocco. who from almost every day migrants arrive on spanish shores from morocco close to twenty four thousand have arrived this year migrants are now entering spain and italy sanchez called for a common response from the e.u. . the solidarity of the whole

turkey for a pastor. i am once again calling on those in america. it is a pity that you choose a pastor over your strategic partner in nato. but the u.s. seems unlikely to back down over the detention of american pastor craig bronson he's now under house arrest after spending nearly twenty months in a turkish jail. ankara excuses him of involvement in the failed military coup in twenty sixteen. washington says the charge is a trumped up brunson however is far from being only challenge. the freephone of the lira also reflects widespread warres about the state of the turkish economy and fears that the on is taking gets in the wrong direction so.

when the dollar rose so high i thought this was the end for sure i thought the turkish economy was headed for rock bottom but the thing is the dollar is not rising it's the lira that's losing its value you know our people need to realize this if the iranian currency is more valuable than the lira i think that's a real problem. so for all of the ones bluster towards the us it could in the end be the country's economic woes that forced him to change his choosing. the united nations is raising the alarm over a growing crisis involving venezuelan migrants hyperinflation and chronic shortages of food and basic supplies of prompted hundreds of thousands to feel even as well or many have been heading for brazil which recently reopened its northwestern border after a judge had ordered its closure others have chosen to cross into colombia up into the heights of the andes and into ecuador it's an exhausting journey taking several
