it. is the world's most widely used weed killer going to break german chemical giant buyer a court in the united states a link to round up to a man's cancer buyer which now owns do her best i make her. may have to pay the price also coming up brussels strikes again and the european union has google with a billion dollar fine for the first time in three years we'll see what's got the e.u. commission so upset and white south koreans turn to fatty pork when faced with high levels of air pollution. good to have you with. a jury in the united states has found that the weed killer roundup was a quote substantial factor in causing cancer and a seventy year old men round up and die for state based herbicide is made by you as a group chemical for monsanto which was acquired by

a german multinational buyer last year a landmark verdict could affect thousands of other cases buyers said it was disappointed with the jury's initial decision the case now moves to a second phase to determine the company's financial liability. he holds monsanto responsible for his non hodgkins lymphoma and when hard to man use the killer rant up for decades he claimed this ruined his health and caused his cancer and the course agrees in coming weeks that decides on the compensation the plaintiffs should be given by a group which acquired monsanto last year took an aggressive stance and their initial statements. we are disappointed with the jury's initial decision but we continue to believe firmly that the science confirms that like the state based herbicides do not call it's come. in recent weeks the san francisco course heard testimony from numerous scientists and considered several studies however when it came to assessing potential concert risk scientists and studies came to different

conclusions the world health organization says in one study there is a cancer risk another says glyphosate does not cause cancer the court decided in favor of the plaintiffs though some twelve thousand other cases are in the legal pipeline the coming weeks will show if an avalanche of cost is rolling towards buyer only nine months after it pours up monsanto. for more on this let's bring in our wall street correspondent scored against buy your shares got hammered today in europe what was the picture like where you are. well i mean the one big question is if. does cause cancer and if so did monsanto all know about potential health threats and events could be or should be approved then it could really become expensive for a buyer then we're talking about punitive damages in the billions so what i'm

hearing here on wall street from analysts is that those two trials that we've seen so far that went against once until and buyer will not be enough to really get a clear picture of what still might come for buyers so probably we have to wait for a couple of more trials before actually it becomes clear what a buyer at once andro going to face and he ends another news the federal reserve and it is second policy meeting of the year and there's no more talk about raising interest rates quite the opposite in fact. yeah actually there was a pretty interesting fed meeting nobody really expected it but the fed chairman paul hinted that that's it no more rate cuts. in the united states not this year not next year but the next potential step could be downward not in this year but maybe a potential interest rate cuts coming up next year certainly

a lot depends on how the u.s. economy is going to fare and the federal reserve is still seeing growth for the biggest economy on the planet but growth is slowing and that actually did not go down well with investors here on wall street this special e this week is a look on the economy did cause stocks here on wall street to fall and then also we had specific be fine and stocks under pressure because in general for big bangs higher interest rates a good lower interest rates are not as good for business you know scored in new york thank you. european union regulators have fined google close to one and a half billion euros for abusing its market dominance the misconduct involving its own price comparison results and searches of the last two years the e.u. has now find google a total of more than eight billion euro. this is the third time european regulators
