we have some climate impacts we turn greater than we see oh. it's really frightening. why are people more concerned. little yellow. shorts mean to the 1st t.w. . more bad news for buyer the german firm loses a 3rd case over its round up weed killer with yet another jury connecting the product to cancer. also on the show does work ever end when you're always connected to new e.u. court ruling could finally force employers to to define what's worked and what isn't. and former volkswagen workers in brazil have a beef with their one time employer it goes back to the country's military dictatorship you details. welcome to your business i'm stephen beardsley good to

have you with us german pharmaceuticals and chemicals giant buyer has lost yet another lawsuit related to the wheat killer round up which is made by recently acquired company monsanto a jury awarded a retired american couple $2000000000.00 from buyer's coffers and while any payout is likely to be far less than that it's another bad sign for a company facing plenty of litigation. elva and alberto pilly od say round up caused their cancer so they sued even though a lot of people believed they wouldn't stand a chance against by and court. we've been finding cancer for. 9 years now to the knee and it was caused by round of. our lives forever. we can't do the things that we used to be able to do and we really resent monsanto for that. their lawyer

told the jury and turned all documents prove to months until wasn't interested in determining how dangerous its product is now by a has been hit with $2000000000.00 in compensation an astronomical sum even by american litigation standards and things could well get much worse for the chemicals giant this is not the end of this litigation this is the beginning there are tens of thousands of people out there probably 203040000 people and i've continuously told bayer and monsanto are coming after them investors seem to have come to the conclusion that buyers woes won't end anytime soon since its takeover of monsanto back in june of 2018 buyer shares have plummeted by more than 40 percent the company says that it will appeal the decision and continues to deny that roundup causes cancer but increasingly it appears by

a might have seriously underestimated the long term cost of its month sentosa takeover. let's go now to our financial correspondent in new york yes korda yes $2000000000.00 sounds pretty bad is this is bad for buyer as it sounds. well buyer at the end will not pay those $2000000000.00 even if certainly this verdict is not good news for buyer but this case will go into peel and other than the reasons trial the appeals court is not a jury of base so the whole emotional aspect that we've just seen in the past couple of days on trial in california will not happen when it goes into peel but maybe by a general underestimated the emotional aspect also after the f.b.i. a sort of gave a green light for round up by i will pay something but clearly not $2000000000.00

and the ends are another topic wall street shares of course hit hard yesterday due to that trade dispute between us and china how does it look today well it did look. better we could recover some of the losses at some point blue chips traded up by as much as 360 points by the end of the day we went up by 200 points or 0.8 percent and it still remains wide open what will happen was the trade disputes anybody talking about a trade war well u.s. president donald trump actually called it square bold so he seems to be quite certain that he will come to a conclusion was his chinese counterparts and the u.s. president also mentioned that at the end the u.s. always wins so we will see if that remains true meanwhile some sectors that gets

hit hardest like the agricultural industry will probably get some governmental age in the amount of 15000000000 dollars and ins quarter will keep keeping track of all of it there from new york thank you. where is the separation between work and well not work it's a line that keeps blurring considering things like mobile access to email and the continuous drumbeat of social media a new judgment from europe's highest court the european court of justice may now force employees and employers to define that line not everyone is pleased with the decision. just to work for how long in some companies working hours are recorded down to the minute but it's not legally necessary until now only overtime had to be documented but the european court of justice the e.c. j. says that's not good enough in future employers across the e.u. will have to record exactly how long employees actually work unions are thrilled.

and it's a step towards better health and safety of course and a move towards an effective way of limiting rocking hours and towards compliance with working time directive such. a lawsuit was brought by a spanish union it wanted germany's deutsche bank to record the actual arrows people put in in spain about half of all over time work does not documented the e.c. jay says it is impossible to calculate overtime pay accurately when even workers regular hours are not recorded a lot of professions welcome the e c j verdict those like doctors who regularly work exceptionally long hours in hospitals. critics though fear a mountain of red tape that will prevent flexible working hours they say it would make working from home more difficult as emails and phone calls would need booking as working time the start of scene is also up in arms claiming that tightening

regulation throttles their creative process and is an obsolete concept. air pollution is a growing problem in many cities around the world from delhi to beijing all the way to berlin germany's recent diesel scandals have left it trying to clear the air literally latest idea a giant vacuum cleaner that's meant to eliminate our particles. a new filter for a new type of vacuum cleaner this one doesn't collect crumbs off the carpet it takes particular matter of nitrogen dioxide out of the air one set 21000 euros 17 of them are mounted it stood guard sneck a gate a pollution hotspot. technology is much like an outsized vacuum cleaner it's an industrial filter assembly which uses around a 1000 watts per unit that's roughly how much a normal vacuum cleaner uses but this is a 100 times more effective we can suck about 10000 cubic meters of air through the

filter. this is a mobile open air vacuum cleaner a research project. the filter removes the same amount of particulates matter from the air that the vehicle produces. it may look cumbersome but it could be mounted beneath a delivery van or truck the manufacturer expects the largest market for phil to technology to be in asia. we're developing with core technology here in germany of course but we're focusing on markets like china india korea japan and singapore the exponential industrialization there has put a heavy burden on people and. this is it's probably not effective to position it all over a city's infrastructure where a lot of people come close to high traffic volumes and interact with them we can simply help to reduce the pollution levels. so that it's. something they're

already doing in the asian megacities of shanghai delhi and bangalore. or south america a military dictatorship brazil between 19641905 it's stifle free speech suppress the opposition and tortured its opponents that included workers at a volkswagen plant sao paulo now some of them say the volkswagen is a share of the responsibility for their mistreatment take a look. this is not a normal change of shift at the v.w. plant in sao paulo former employees are handing out leaflets demanding the german company own up to what they say is its dark past in brazil. some of the people here that were tortured by government agencies back in the 1970 s. were seized on company grounds 2 guards detained me and sector 3 of the facilities later i and other v.w. employees were locked up in an underground prison run by the political police the

factory grounds. the grim chapter in the carmakers history began over 45 years ago production was in full swing then staff began disappearing most of them opponents of the military dictatorship v.w. continued to cooperate with the regime. in the cells many of the v.w. employees were beaten and some were convinced they'd be executed the experience haunts them to this day. when it comes to human rights the united nations is clear about the corporate responsibilities. undertaking wants to diligence when the situation in a country where they operate change to understand how they might cause and contribute all be linked to human rights abuses v.w. says it carried out that due diligence it sponsored a study that came to the following conclusion the study found no evidence of institutional cooperation between v.w. brazil or v.w. leadership level staff and brazil's military regime so far the v.w.

group hasn't apologized and has refused to pay compensation until that happens say the torture victims will continue to fight. japanese carmaker nissan has announced its annual profit has crashed to less than half of what it earned last year profits for last fiscal year were around $2600000000.00 euros down from over 6000000000 last year is the company's were showing in a decade the company blamed the results on pour sales in north america combined with what it claims was the over aggressive growth strategy of former company boss carlos go. and that's it from me and the business team i'm sitting there isn't a left that's watching.
