hardest hit by the blazes as soon as one fires under control the next one breaks out huge areas now resemble the landscape. will fall if there are as one or 2 big fires we could deal with them better than all the small ones. money shot since there have been widespread protests since the fires sunset on friday under international pressure brazil's president both narrow deployed soldiers to the region to fight the places brazil has said it will accept aid from israel and argentina but also now responded shoppy to a pledge of $20000000.00 from t 7 leaders on twitter he accuses french president among them on the call of having a colonialist attitude towards brazil. oh yeah do you think someone gives money without wanting something in return saying why do they have their eye on the amazon what if it was one of the cutest good alarm things entering office both narrow has

slashed environmental protection in the amazon and a bid to open up the area to industry and spur economic growth through ok let's get more now with daniel cope he's in port of value which is in the brazilian state of or don't you know we saw the report there now it has been among the worst hit by the amazon wildfires a good day to you daniel what's it looking like how's the fight against these wild blazes coming along. yeah there brian i can tell you that the fight against those fires has been extremely difficult here for firefighters but also for the population as we heard in the report there was 80000 fires in the entire amazon region and we are learning that just since last friday about 1200 new fires have been reported we saw and we have been talking to firefighters here from with the region they have been

telling us that for them it's it's kind of like. it's kind of like a mission that for them is a very hard to manage and we're learning that in many cities also in big cities here like to have a deal with about 500000 people firefighters have been kind of giving opportunity to manage the situation and let me also tell you brian that all of this of course also affecting the daily lives off people we have been talking to local residents here they have been sharing with us that because of the bad air because of the pollution in the air right now because of those fires with them it's hard to breathe a lady was sharing with us that already when she wakes up in the morning as she few severe retire so all of this is affecting also the local people here you know the air pollution certainly a big concern for 4 elderly people where you are for children for the sake you know daniel there's the big question out there reportedly landowners in this area have

themselves been lighting the fires that have turned into these wildfires to clear land for cattle ranching for agriculture that's something that both of our o. the president has been supporting up to now but given the severity of these fires could the president change tack on his approach to these fires could could that situation change. well i personally don't think that this is going to change because also these farmers are some of his big supporters they have been saying that in the past former brazilian president never really paid attention to the interest of those farmers now they are seeing that president both the novel as you know having this difference a strategy that he has been you know supporting basically that those you know farmers you know which of burning their land in order you know to have more space there for for their animals so i don't really think that this situation is at the

end going to change because these groups are you know his voters that he will need also in the future ok both in our own brazil been offered 20000000 from the g 7 that was turned down at the same time both when i was saying did you sevens treating brazil like a colony what's what's been some of the reactions where you are bowed to the rejecting of the money and and are calling brazil or treating brazil well like you connie. well the reactions here are actually very divided in the population when you talk to supporters of the now or they do agree they're saying that in the past brazil has been listening away too much to other countries and that it doesn't work like that when you send money and then brazil you know has to react and now it's also very clear he is saying that you know the amazon region it's the it's the decision off brazil what's going to happen with that and he's not

agreeing with a president who is saying you know that the amazon region basically belongs to the you know to the world of population others of course saying that the entire attitude that the entire behavior was when i was 6 a tree may be risky and you should accept help financially but also you know when you talk about firefighters we talk about firefighter training you know from other countries then you thanks very much for that reporting from port of value there in the brazilian state of a donia right at the epicenter of those amazonian wildfires thanks very much to you . well iran's president hassan rouhani says there will be no talks with the u.s. until sanctions are lifted he was speaking a day after u.s. present dull drum open the possibility of a meeting with rouhani if the conditions right now the u.s. president made those remarks at the end of the g. 7 summit be writs in france with host president to manual mccraw no on the topic of

iran french president to manual mcclellan said the 2 leaders had 2 things in common thank you for an addition there are 2 very clear things which are important to us here on must never have a nuclear weapon and this situation should not upset the stability of the region. calling denied reports that he had not informed the us president before inviting iran's foreign minister to the summit in an effort to save the 2015 year killer deal that i decided to invite as friends. mrs surratt so i informed before making it i informed president trump that it was my idea not to involve the united states not to see this is on behalf of you or the robot but to see our friends i think it would be a good idea to ask him to go back and try to negotiate something separately before making when pressed on whether he would be prepared to meet iran's president

or honey trump indicated he would but only when the time was right if the circumstances were correct toward the right i would certainly agree to that but in the meantime. they have to be good players you understand with that we and they can do what they were saying they're going to do because if they do that they're going to be met with really very violent force we have no choice yet. so despite the hugs and handshakes it's unclear whether the g. 7 host book on succeeded in calming tensions between iran and the u.s. or whether the summit will ease any what was on the world's financial markets. preview now and some of the other stories making the news this hour a judge in the u.s. they don't go home or as ordered drug maker johnson and johnson to pay over half a $1000000000.00 for fueling an opioid epidemic. the judge says the company's marketing for those painkillers understated the risk of addiction it's the 1st

come on the show car lovers around the world and the automotive industry bid farewell to the auto executives chatted on here the man who turned around beat up his fortunes and made it one of the world's top 41st look at his genius and his legacy. and the m.t.v. video music awards where taylor swift seemed to be stunned that she won we'll tell you about the other winners as well and why they were. but 1st key regional elections are taking place this weekend here in germany in the eastern states of brandenburg and saxony now they're being very carefully watched because traditional parties are expected to lose support in the far right if he is forecast to make huge gains also for the 1st time environmentalist green party is seeing a surge in its approval ratings in the east you know obvious michaud a cover that up with the co-leader of the greens about how back to talk about his party's prospects and the idea that he could succeed only machall as german

chancellor. this man cycling to small town saxony could well be on his way to succeed angela merkel as germany's next chancellor in recent months all but harvick has taken his green party to new heights in the opinion polls they are expected to double their share of the vote in next sunday's regional elections in the eastern states of brandenburg and saxony a development that raises big questions about bigger ambitions. in my walking through the countryside here with the future chancellor of germany. most of all you are walking next to a party leader who is campaigning in saxony in brandenburg together with his colleagues at the beginning of the year everyone said sure you have good opinion polls which you will get from crushed brandenburg and sectioning and then the opposition could happen as germany's big 10 parties lose support the greens have been going mainstream. other greens the new center force of junk politics.

your visits nearly certainly hold positions other parties used to hold the forests and that have become part of germany's d.n.a. like the fact that a social market economy is there to serve the people and that we don't want to die hard capitalism and that europe has to be the core aim of german foreign policy. the former rebel greens at ease with becoming establishment so again ready for chancellor. it's a fair question as we've been around the 20 percent mark for a while now but it's too early for that opposition. in saxony the greens try to prove they are unafraid of the right wing populism that is dividing the country further north they're aiming even higher. whereas this side of the road in saxony the greens are unlikely to significantly change the political game just across the road in the neighboring state of brandenburg the greens are well on the way into

regional government. here they have been able to score with voters in the race to offer alternatives to the far right if tea party the tightly contested race between those pushing for change and those promising to return to good old days seize the greens also an anonymous a trained doctor up against the if tea parties and it's an army veteran. because we cannot afford to fail on our climate targets time and time again we finally need to get serious about meeting the 1.5 degree target of the paris accord we only have a couple of years left to do that. a liberal leaning crowd feels the a if the protests too much overt rhetoric on migration. we have to openly address the problems people have and that's what the f.d.a. is about we don't start fears. the high hopes of the greens prove that the political battle in eastern germany is not

simply about the rise of the far right it's also about who might replace uncle americal as her political era draws to a close now he was one of the most ingenious pioneers in the global auto industry. has died at the age of 82 as head of the w. he's credited with reviving the company's fortunes turn it turning it into one of the world's biggest car makers. he had v.w. in his d.n.a. ferdinand ph was a man practically born in the driver's seat p.s. grandfather was ferdinand porsche the man who designed the iconic folks can be told . discovered his passion for cars and technology at an early age he studied mechanical engineering and after climbing the corporate ladder became c.e.o. of the v.w. group which was then nearly insolvent transformed the company. is good. but

there are always winners and losers. and with our partners which v.w. has across the whole world i interned to be the winner. within a few years v.w. was again making a profit that laid the cornerstone for his reputation as a visionary car executive when v.w. acquired porsche was already a group chairman the merger was a long time ambition of his the father of 12 children believed v.w. and porsche belongs together. that in 2015 p.s. found himself in a power struggle with v.w. then c.e.o. martin venter corn it was a struggle ph lost and he resigned an abrupt end to a storied career. monica jones joining us now in the studio good morning monica monica p.s. was it was truly a giant in the world of course what made him such unique car executive what as you

say i mean he was an extraordinary figure in the global automotive world as we saw in this report i mean he was born into an automotive family fighting on porsche and the fed now porsche being is grandfather and i did a little bit of research it's interesting that as a little kid he was actually viewed as being very meek with little sort of promises of making it you know achieving anything in life it was only after he was sent into a really strict and harsh boarding school in switzerland where he got to that that gripped that characterized him and certainly allowed him all the success later and yes it's true i mean he turned into this huge global brand that we know nowadays and he also turned how woody from just another brand that existed into this super duper luxury brand highly successful and very popular car and if you consider that fox was similar to ford you know meant to be the people's car at the very beginning so everybody can afford it you know the people's confidence it was him who sort of

thought yeah that's all very well but we also need lamborghini we need to go we need bentley and for some some reason he managed to make it credible to have these super high end luxury cars on the same roof as the beetle the jetta and all these the people's car so that's a great achievement and i personally think it must have been a very sad day for him in 2015 when that scandal broke the diesel emissions. and he didn't see eye to eye with the. intercon that all his life's work sort of seemed to fall apart and he sold almost all his shares and folks as that must have been a very sad moment we're just looking at god either that was the courthouse. where he drove a beautiful vehicle. you know his training as as an engineer was what was core to how he run v.w. how he performed as a company i mean he was technology again similar like his his grandfather i don't

know what the person the relationship was but they both were fascinated by technology he certainly was fascinated by it and by new design and he was responsible for an awful lot of new models i tried to do a little bit of research and i found an automotive block called jalap nick and they had this to say that he's the magic genius behind much of porsche and out his racing successes as well as all out engineering and luxury push from the early 2000 and that was gave us cars like the gotti they were on if you ever seen one in real life the beautiful they're called it was also doing a little research intercollegiate it's very interesting because it's amazing that we have it i mean her gorgeous eye when we look at it more closely and i do have a lot of cost 7 people sitting in the newsroom they gave me that information it's a 16 cylinder engine producing 1001 force power that's going to down there it's tested at 400 in 7 kilometers an hour it's the worst fastest street legal car i

don't know where you could use that speed but it's certainly interesting the autobahn a street legal i guess some some parts of it the cheapest model now that's where it's interesting starts at 1700000 euros maybe some people would consider a bargain i don't know and the most important thing is folks about reportedly loses millions with that particular car but the performance for its image for folks in each seems to be worth it and i think that explains ph that's exactly there isn't you know a beautiful loss leader. monica thanks so much for coming out of leisure. well the annual m.t.v. video music awards brought some glitz and glamour to the city of newark new jersey last night pop superstar taylor swift winning the award for best video of the best artist going to ariana grande day now there was also a special nod for a veteran musician. so. it wouldn't be the music awards without a lot of wild and crazy. for.
