a company facing plenty of litigation. and alberta pilly odds 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 holly than me and it was caused by a round of. our lives for ever. we can't do the things at least to be able to do and we really resent monsanto for that. their lawyer told the jury and turned all documents proved 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 they are 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 virus 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 monsanto 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 while buyer at the end will not pay those 2000000000 dollars even if certainly this

per cent and it still remains wide open what will happen with the trade dispute anybody talking about a trade war well a us president donald trump actually called it so he seems to be quite certain that he will come to a conclusion with his chinese counterparts and the us president also mentioned that at the end the us 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 aids in the amount of 15000000000 dollars and yes 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
