a desperate bid for self preservation also on the program the british government tells the lakers to expect a fresh bread city votes tomorrow the move comes as the country's embattled prime minister seeks to fulfill conditions from the european council for another extension to the country's would go on deadline. and this american blames his council on the read kiddo of roundup he's suing the chemical giant monsanto for damages we'll tell you what a california court has decided. i don't have a warm welcome to you i'm. mortars armed forces have taken control of a tanker that was hijacked by migrants rescued at sea the turkish vessel has arrived at a port with military personnel on board five people were handcuffed and courted off
3:02 pm
the vessel about one hundred refugees and migrants had been rescued in the seas off libya some of them took control of the ship when it was ordered to return them to libya and force it to head towards europe joining me now is bear john burke he's a senior journalist for the times of malta in a letter welcome to you bet on what is going to happen to the refugees on the boat what is the current situation. well they've been brought to the sure now they were brought to shore around nine thirty this morning. we can assume with this is that what we know for sure is that five have been arrested it was four now we've confirmed it was five five of the one hundred eight have been arrested and taken into police custody presumably the other the remaining ones will apply for asylum. and they don't what are you hearing there about what exactly happened on the ship reports suggest the refugees panicked when they heard they would be taken to libya
3:03 pm
. that's that's that's the information we have to what at what appears to have happened is that the refugees who were. in there were trying to cross the mediterranean the ran into trouble and commercial bank or the one picked them up at some point yesterday yesterday morning the captain began taking them back to tripoli. but when they were around six nautical miles from the libyan coast this small group of five six people were in teams that looks like it was five and seemed to have rounded on the captain and his crew and ordered him to change course and force him to head north and we found out that the situation was the ship was heading towards more than a centrally yesterday evening. maltese coast guard intercepted at some point early this morning you know three four am and thankfully the.
3:04 pm
intervention was a pacific one there was no mood there seems to have been no violence. the a.f.m. the armed forces of malta took control of the of the vessel and led a tour towards these ports are now as i mentioned the european risk your mission sophie has been stopped or does this latest incident indicate that very few jews are going to use more and more desperate means to come to europe. it's hard to tell that i my personal sense is that this could be a turning point but not rather than for the refugees themselves for the migrants from says rather for policymakers and the questions at their eyes now is what will happen to the five people who were arrested will they be would they be charged and sentenced and waterloo be the ported back to libya and how will you remember now
3:05 pm
and hand of the you never the passion that comes from commercial commercial shipping sector who will say well although there's an international obligation to rescue you see how can we how do we handle that ride this a difficult gump a good question and they're trying berg in the letter thank you very much for your reporting. the british government is hoping to hold another vote on prime minister terrorism is controversial breaks a deal tomorrow but reports say may will be asking parliament to vote only on the divorce aspect of the deal and not the art governing the u.k.'s future relationship with the you the government's representative in parliament andreea led some says the parliament first needs to get the go ahead for the vote from the speaker by splitting the votes they hope to secure the support of more opposition m.p.'s and the government must pass have been removed to earn another deadline extension from brussels. which the prolonged uncertainty over briggs's has huge ramifications

including for many university students in europe who are about the education plans if britain leaves the e.u. without a deal the country could fall outside the popular. exchange program used by many european students to study in the u.k. today the european parliament underlined the importance it attaches to the program by tripling its funding but it's probably too late for anyone hoping to study in britain. down our food includes studies linguistics and berlin she's just scored a place as an exchange student at britain's cambridge university it would be great news if it weren't for the cloud cast by breaks it. i mistrust bussy and what if i don't know what to do if it doesn't work out of course i hope very much that he works out and that i can start in october but i don't really have a plan b. plan b. happy me so he britain's likely departure from the e.u.

would endanger the european university exchange program with the u.k. brussels could suspend the stipend each student receives currently four hundred fifty euros a month yet the one good university one and five a rest most participants chooses to study in the united kingdom it's the most popular exchange destination for balance students and this year once again many have decided to apply for far it's a mess that arrested a scholarship despite the fret of bricks that no funding would mean that many german students couldn't afford a semester in the u.k. . how far along are preparations. meets with our erasmus coordinator program has been around since one thousand nine hundred eighty seven allowing students to study in foreign countries with e.u. support. erasmus coordinator stephanie tree gouda says the program promotes international understanding among former enemies and has been the halls go back
3:08 pm
when there were still border controls students who do in iraq's most exchange have never experienced hard borders but all of sudden they're coming back. europe is suddenly short one country also paul's that's never happened and it's very sad that it's the most important exchange country in our program and that even. down our foreman who wants to go to england no matter how watched even if it's a financial stretch it wouldn't get off me i would take out a loan i'm not even allowed to work in cambridge. and campbell trouble for donna and other rescue students the pro long breaks that negotiations mean more reasons to rory it's not just the educational opportunities a german academic exchange service study showed that german a rest most students start up personal relationships with foreign partners twice as often as students who have not spent time abroad so i enter the u.k.

the world and one the jury said round up was defective and the company deceptive. today the jury sent a message loud and clear. that company should no longer put products on the market for anyone. without being truthful without testing their product and without warning if it causes cancer the jurors said monsanto had been negligent by not using reasonable care in borning hardiman about its products potential risks last year a court in san francisco also found in favor of a groundskeeper who said roundup had given him known hodgkin's lymphoma. and this is the second case where the jury is emotionally held that round up causes cancer and monsanto and bayer need to take note of that and they need to change their business model and their business practices by robot monsanto in mid twenty

eighteen for sixty three billion dollars it continues to insist the herbicide is safe when used as directed but with share prices sliding almost forty percent since the acquisition the purchase came at a higher than expected cost you just annoyed we know today that because of the american securities laws by a couldn't look into the charges against monsanto's or into its books it was buying a black box and the risk in buying an unknown entity is being shown right now is it really as you say has caught it hundreds of studies have shown that the active ingredient in roundup lifeless eight is safe while many others have found it a health risk after two years of fierce debate the e.u. decided in twenty seventeen to renew the weed killers license for use in the block for another five years but no bio faces more than eleven thousand lawsuits involving round up in the us alone. and that report was by derek williams to a science eskin out joins me here welcome and derek how significant is this ruling by the california court would quite significant because it's what they would call
3:13 pm
a bellwether trial it's one it's one that's going to set precedents this is the second trial where the plaintiff has come out ahead of monsanto and in terms of in terms of what the decision was and it's not likely that monsanto or that buyer is going to in the long run and up having to pay all of it they're going to appeal of course but and judges do have a way of of cutting off cutting down the amount of damages but it does set a precedent as a bellwether trial for possibly thousands of other plaintiffs to come now come forward and say hey this happened to me too and this controversy of a good life a state has been vomiting on for years in the us is that conclusive proof that it does cause cats i think well that depends very much on who you talk to there have been hundreds of studies that have shown that it's not carcinogenic but on the other hand there are many more that say it's definitely a suspicious substance and in twenty fifteen there was a the an agency in the w.h.o.
3:14 pm
the world health organization came out and said it's probably a carcinogen but on the other hand you also have government authorities for example the european from safety authority or the e.p.a. the environment protection authority in the states who say that say it's doesn't pose a health risk and so you depending on who you talk to to answer your question depending on who you talk to if you talk to a proponent or an opponent of it you're going to get a different answer and they're both going to say there's proof look it is you know why do ethical dilemma at stake you have if you're not sure and if this is what has to be a benefit of doubt given surely one must act. on the side of caution the problem with crop sciences is that you have to do you can't forget the other side of the equation which is. bound up is coupled together with with with seeds that are roundup resistant the reason that that is so successful worldwide it's used in one hundred six different countries all over the planet is because it's so
3:15 pm
effective at killing basically everything except the plant that's resistant to it now crop sciences companies say the really we're going to need this technology when there are ten billion people on the face of the planet and then you're twenty fifty we need technology like this to feed everyone so there are there are also when you talk about ethics there are the environmental aspects of it particularly i think for farmers there's the there's the health aspects there's the environment aspect there's the question of feeding populations so it's it's there's a baby and there's about water and sometimes it's really difficult i think ethically to differentiate between the two right dead equips from a science if thank you very much not to a discovery that's left environmental scientists pleasantly surprised a new nasa study has found that in eastern greenland a major gas here that used to be one of the fos just shrinking ice and snow masses on earth is expanding climate researchers have welcomed the news but they warn the

trend is only temporary. this was glacier semakula yes lock and twenty fifteen when these images were captured illegally sure had been retreating three kilometers per year and thinning by forty meters annually since two thousand and twelve leading scientists to bring alarm bells but a recent study by nasa shows that the glacier has begun to expand again at about the same rate. between twenty six you know twenty seven theme from two. separate. airborne missions we far. from big has thickened by up to thirty meters now it's almost one hundred feet and one year. and between twenty seventeen and twenty eighth in the same thing again scientists are looking closely at what's happening in greenland there's enough ice sheet here to make global sea levels rise by seven meters the latest finding a glacier salmon came as good news but the authors of the study and other
3:17 pm
scientists a green this changing trend is temporary. they believe a natural cyclical cooling of north atlantic waters likely caused the glacier to stop shrinking for now. what the measurements in the for your where this classic is demonstrated is that when the last year was retreating the waters were quite warm and they were beaten fed by waters from the ocean and when the grass here was started to thicken about water is no longer that said the oceans all woman is just a transfer of aid from the ocean to the face of the process. too little too late that's the researchers message there's no sign that global warming is slowing down instead they say what's happening in samara is worrying proof that the speed of change in ocean temperatures can affect greenland biggest glaciers. for decades the artist known simply as chris still along with his late. claude created
