8:07 am
german council on foreign relations he's in our brussels studio mr author barr thanks so much for being with us in foreign ministers have expressed concern about the possibility and i'm quoting here of an accidental military confrontation between the u.s. and around in the gulf is this a real danger. well what we saw last week is the continued military buildup by the united states in the persian gulf there was a briefing by the pentagon. sketching out options for a military escalation including more than $100000.00 troops u.s. troops which would be needed in such a conflict so there is real and serious planning being done on the u.s. side as it appears and this is what worries everyone else the europeans in particular but also the other signatories of the steel the russians and the chinese and certainly everyone in the region so yes we should not discount this possibility and that's why it was important for the europeans to show once more their position
8:08 am
to the u.s. that is a position of what they call maximum restraint as opposed to maximum pressure which the united states is trying to put on iran ok the europeans might be calling for maximum restraint but the u.s. secretary of state is pushing europe to toughen its stance on iran will this impact the e.u. position. by what happened yesterday judging by what happened yesterday not so much i mean it was a surprise visit was only a couple of hours before pompei landed that the european foreign ministers were told about his visit they tried to accommodate him in the sense that way he would not get the photo opportunity with all 28 which that could be used signaling support because if you just look at pictures and don't know what was being said it looks as if the europeans and americans would be on the same side so they were trying to accommodate their own schedule with his presence in brussels they had one
8:09 am
on one meetings with the british the french the german foreign minister with federico mcgreevey the high representative and they all delivered the same message that there is no room for escalation and they should know there should be no room for an arrow for a mistake an escalation which which just happens because of so much military in the region ok pompei is continuing his shuttle diplomacy he'll be in softly russia today for talks with sergey lavrov his russian counterpart what will pompei will be looking for from russia when it comes to iran. well with russia the picture is a bit more complex its 1st visit to russia since he has become the foreign minister secretary of state so they have an entire range of issues to talk about from venezuela the situation to the arctic to iran also. of in advance of the meeting
8:10 am
said that he doesn't he would like to understand what is the u.s. ration nail behind this military buildup the russians are certainly not supportive of it they see the pressure as counterproductive and in that sense they are on the side of the europeans russia is part of the agreement russia wants to stay in the agreement russia wants iran to stay in the agreement to prevent a nuclear bomb from being build so it will be. a conversation between 2 sides who disagree on on most things and find little agreement including on iran ok we'll see what comes out of that meeting hopefully later today colonel his other bar from the german council for foreign relations thanks so much for being with us thank you brian. let's check out some of the other stories making news this hour u.s. president trump has met with the president viktor orbán at the white house from praising

8:16 am
found the company liable for illnesses linked to this weed killer card says decades of studies though has found that roundup is safe for human use. from did have you businesses following the story for us good morning to you aaron can you tell us what the 12 members of the jury decided well basically the jury decided that monsanto and by extension buyer had failed to inform its consumers of the potential cause carcinogenic or cancer causing risks associated with his life was a products now this is a point that's been debated for several years now you know the american e.p.a. has maintained in agreeing with monsanto saying that glyphosate likely does not cause cancer however there are many voices the international community which says that's not exactly true a world health organization report found that life was a products probably cause cancer and that's actually the side that the jury came down on in this case ok now this isn't the only lawsuit monsanto buyer facing in
8:17 am
the united states no it definitely is in fact they're facing an entire wave of litigation there are some 13000 cases currently pending in american courts and so far they're not really on a winning streak i mean monsanto here i mean they've already lost 3 such cases in the last several years and this is resulting in millions in damages that the company could eventually potentially face if not billions if if an appellate court actually upholds today's decision so right now they're really kind of on the losing side of this wave allegedly of lawsuits ok don't stockholders are not the only ones asking how did buyer manage to underestimate the risks when they bought monsanto well it from buyers perspective there. was actually a good decision i mean they're looking at the future here you know some estimates say that we could be looking up to having 10000000000 people on the planet in the near future and they're maintaining that the patents months and a house will be key to actually feeding the population however as with all of these
8:18 am
. these lawsuits facing them it really does seem like they underestimated some of the risks and as you mentioned stock holders there they've been fleeing the company i mean the company's lost half of its stock value since going through this purchase and in a recent stockholder meeting they actually censored borum the company management with a vote of no confidence so it does seem that buyer and many of its investors feel that they they underestimated the risks with finance and with so many lawsuits pending it looks like the story is not over at all that it definitely isn't ok aaron thanks very much for looking into the story well here in germany the environment minister has called for radical action to tackle climate change speaking at international climate talks here in blender she backed calls for a tax on carbon emissions and this proposal puts her head odds with chance for all of acol will be addressing that conference later today. melting icebergs on the southern coast of chile are
8:19 am
a clear sign of the drastic effects of climate change as co-host of the petersburg climate dialogue in berlin calls for major efforts to slow the pace of global warming. but given it and only the planet has no concept of by injuries our nation as we are all responsible for taking care of our home we gots what brings us here. but with the united states in brazil participating progress is in doubt the us broke from the paris climate accord and brazil threatens to do the same president j. or both or not it wants to continue logging the amazon rain forest and activity that's had dramatic effects on climate change already. germany's environment minister wants europe to play a key role in climate protection she says business and consumers need to bear some of the cost of carbon dioxide emissions and that's we it is our goal is not that the state should profit from the price of carbon dioxide emissions it's about upping the cost of c o 2 emissions with this market based instrument and rewarding
8:20 am
a reduction of emissions. the german president voiced his commitment at a reception for the participants. if we want our children to have a huge in this. we need to redefine our roots economic system and technologies and above all to change behavior this gathering is a preparation for the next un climate change conference planned for december in chile. let's talk more of us about this now with our political correspondent report vitor volved good morning rupert the petersburg climate dialogue taking place now for the 10th time but but this year it's in a very different political climate that those talks are under way absolutely when the talks 1st started in 2010 that it was the then the idea was to form some sort of a could issue of the willing the countries that accepted that climate change is
8:21 am
a fact that was the countries that was saying we have to limit carbon dioxide emissions then in 2015 after the part of paris agreement which said we need to limit global warming to 2 degrees celsius then it was the idea to make paris work but now we have to see that we have countries like the united states of brazil as we have heard in the report that one to leave the paris accord and we have countries like germany that once was heading the whole climate change business is now a country that doesn't really meet its own goals so the idea now is a completely different one and what we have now today is a meeting that has to set the course for the actual climate meeting at the end of the year in santiago de chile but there are many obstacles to overcome ok not only is germany not meeting its own goals. on c o 2 for example but there's a lot of discussion and disagreement about where the country needs to go from here on fighting climate change absolutely for traditionally germany west was once of
8:22 am
the countries that was putting quite a lot of energy into this idea of transition having an energy transition changing its own business model to be one of the countries that. it is at the top of league and one of the leading countries in the reducing carbon dioxide emissions germany is not really following its own goals is not reaching its own goals. but still there are some ideas in the country people saying for instance the environmental minister yesterday said when you showed so she said i'm supporting the proposal france they say france said we want to have a 0 carbon dioxide emissions by 2050 which would be a very ambitious goal is extremely ambitious. in the last 2 weeks always that that's not a goal that we can reach we can say 85 percent 90 percent of 0 emission under percent cut overall emissions we can't do that so it's very interesting what i'm
8:23 am
going to say today she's going to hold she's due to hold a speech today at this meeting if she's going to answer to an environmental minister who is in the end at all to some dissent inside the cabinet on this issue and the discussions continuing nationally as well about a possible carbon tax is unclear what would that look like and would parliament with the bundestag wind up passing a carbon tax absolutely the idea comes in the end from from the fridays for a future move movement these of the young people that have been taking to the streets for months now here in germany and all over europe to protest and to say we need some action done here in the climate change area and. what we can say is that the government has been very reluctant to introduce anything about the label tax on it but on the other side you see there's some some movement even anglo-american said who's always opposed against taxes she said climate change will
8:24 am
tackling climate change doesn't come from nothing so we have to put a price label on carbon dioxide emissions so in the end up and say we're going to see something that's not going to be called a tax something different ok and it will have a price tag and will have a big price tag group of it of all thanks very much. oh doris day the hollywood actress and legend has died at the age of $97.00 a movie stars was a successful singer doris day was emblematic of a post-war united states as her star waned during the 1960 s. counter-culture she turned her energy to a cause she cared very deeply about animal welfare. doris day and rock hudson from the 959 romantic comedy pillow talk the most popular film of days remarkable career she was one of hollywood's brightest stars in the 1950 s. and sixty's a multi-talented blonde starlet with german roots day who was born dog was fun
