gives money without wanting something in return saying you did wrong why do they have their eye on me amazon what if it was a lawyer to get a skill are since entering office both narrow has slashed environmental protection in the amazon and the bid to open up the area to industry and spur economic growth it's well landowners have reportedly been lighting many of the fires trying to clear forests for cattle ranching and agriculture something president both n.r.o. has supported in the past we spoke to our correspondent daniel cole in porto bejo and brazil and ask him if also narrow could change his approach. well i personally don't think that this is going to change because also these farmers are some office 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 bosso not. you know having this difference a strategy that he has been you know supporting basically that. 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 iran's president has an rouhani says there will be no talks with the u.s. until sanctions are lifted he was speaking a day after u.s. president donald trump open the possibility of a meeting with rouhani if the conditions were right trump made those remarks at the end of the g. 7 summit in france with host president in. no on the topic of iran french president to manual mccaughan 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 that way ron must never have a nuclear weapon and this situation should not upset the stability of the region mccaughan denying 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. minister zarif so i informed before making it i informed president from that it was my idea not to involve the united states not to see this is on behalf of you of everybody but to see him as 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. and they

can do what they were going to do because if they do that they're going to be met with really very violent force we have no choice. so despite the hugs and handshakes it's unclear where the g 7 host mccollum 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. let's get a round up now of some other stories making news around the world prosecutors have filed a new indictment against disgraced film producer harvey weinstein effectively postponing his sexual assault trial until january the indictment will allow testimony by actor on about who's allegations of rape cannot be prosecuted because of an old statute of limitations on. the spanish capital muggeridge has been hit by flash flooding as heavy rains sweep across the country streets look like rivers and several metro stations had to be closed after the sudden downpour on monday in some areas residents had to clear away huge piles of hail stones that had built up along the

streets. hong kong later kerry says the escalation of violence in the chinese territories anti-government protests becoming more serious lamb was speaking publicly for the 1st time since police used water cannon and fired live ammunition during last weekend's demonstrations the protests in hong kong have been continuing for 12 weeks. and the chinese australian writer held for 7 months in china has been formally arrested for spying there which is a charge that's punishable by death a young man june was originally detained in the southern city of january the australian government says it has serious concerns for his welfare. the european court of human rights has condemned the russia for multiple violations against the late sir the mike needs a russian corruption whistleblower who died in detention in 2009 by death came after me exposed widespread tax fraud that implicated russian officials the

european court determined that he had been ill treated and denied medical assistance in prison following his arrest for allegedly acts of asian his death resulted in the u.s. congress passing the magnitsky act which allows the government to freeze assets and ban visas of human rights violators around the world. and we're going to turn to a one time friend of surrogate magnitsky bill browder is head of the investment fund hermitage capital management which was once the largest foreign portfolio investor in russia he led a campaign to punish russian officials for magnitsky his death and later lobbied the u.s. congress to pass the magnitsky act bill browder joins us from london good to have you on d. w. bell i know that magnitsky was your lawyer when he said he uncovered massive fraud by russian officials so what do you make of the verdict from the european court of justice today. well 1st and foremost this is 10 years in the coming

the magnitsky family and myself and various other friends of sergei magnitsky have been fighting for justice for 10 years and so it's nice and it's a big vindication for his family but he's gotten justice 2nd and more importantly the russian government has been lying and spreading propaganda about sergei magnitsky during this 10 year period trying to change the narrative of what happened to him and this unanimous decision by the european court of human rights that completely destroys the russian government's narrative and basically says that the russian government murdered surrogate magnitsky and that's a very important. court finding from the european court for human rights what consequences does it actually have for russia though bill. well the main consequence is that as a result of sergei magnitsky is murder there are now 6 countries that have magnitsky x. the magnitsky act says that human rights violators should have their visas taken

away and their assets frozen vladimir putin has made it his largest priority to try to repeal the magnitsky act by attacking the magnitsky story and by having this verdict in place it means of the magnitsky acts won't be repealed and that hopefully soon the european union and germany and many other countries in europe will have their own magnitsky acts but the reality on the ground bill is that nobody has actually been convicted in russia for the death of sergei magnitsky that is correct him and until the putin regime and i don't expect that they will be convicted in russia and since we can't convict people in russia we have to get justice outside of russia and the kind of justice that we can get outside of russia is to go after these people's money and their freedom to travel which may not sound like true justice and it isn't true justice but it's something that these people value very preciously and the fact that we can take that away and with the magnitsky act is something that really does in the impunity that they're enjoying

right now we should say that the russian government is that that there is nothing to this case that this is part of an effort to boost anti russian sentiment across the world how confident are you that the european union would now passed a similar magnitsky act to that which what the congress passed the u.s. congress passed in 2012. well the the proposal has already been put forward by the dutch government in the last year has been supported by the german government by the french government by various scandinavian governments and i think it's something that will happen and it only improves our the probability of it happening with this european court for human rights ruling because to the extent that anyone believed the russian narrative which which you just summarized very nicely that has been rubbish by this court ruling you have been investigating what happened to the millions of dollars that disappeared when your investment fund was raided what were your findings. although that one of the most important findings is that so we paid

to the russian government $230000000.00 of taxes and what surrogate magnitsky had discovered was that a group of corrupt officials we funded those taxes to themselves we've traced that money and the most important recipient is a man named surrogate role doogan who was who was exposed by the panama papers as being putin's nominee so effectively vladimir putin has been the recipient of the crime that sergei magnitsky was killed over which is one of the reasons why putin has made it such a high priority to try to school quassia this law and try to change the story because he's involved right bill browder of joining us from london well thank you for sharing your insights with us today thank you. you're watching the news still to come on our program car lovers around the world and the auto industry bid farewell to ferritin and the man who turned around to get these fortunes and made

it one of the world's top carmakers will look at his legacy. but 1st it's being called a watershed moment in america opioid crisis a court in oklahoma has ordered drug maker johnson and johnson to pay more than half a $1000000000.00 for its role in an epidemic that has killed thousands of people it is the 1st case of its kind to go to trial and could be a model for litigation elsewhere in the u.s. the judge says the company was motivated by greed johnson and johnson denies any wrongdoing. he's probably needed box's son austin is one of 6000 oklahomans believed to have died from an opioid overdose since the start of the millennium a promising american footballer he died in his prime. austin was living a nightmare the nightmare at prescription drug abuse now the 1st of thousands of lawsuits aimed at holding manufacturers and distributors to account

has made it through trial cleveland county district judge that borkman have said prosecutors have proven johnson and johnson create a public nuisance that will take decades to repair. today judge walkmen has affirmed or position that johnson and johnson motivated by greed and avarice is responsible for the opioid ready epidemic. johnson and johnson will finally be held accountable for thousands of deaths in addiction caused by their activities. the company was accused of flooding the market with painkillers and deceptively marketing them denies wrongdoing saying its sales claims were backed by science it plans to appeal against the oklahoma court's decision. we have sympathy for all who suffer from substance abuse. but

johnson and johnson. did not cause the opioid abuse crisis here in oklahoma. or anywhere in this country. for many more claimants disagree with the company with 2000 planning to go to court in ohio later this year. now he's considered one of the most ingenious pioneers in the global auto industry ferdinand has died at the age of 82 as head of v.w. he is credited with reviving the company's fortunes and turning it into one of the world's biggest car makers. he had v.w. in his d.n.a. 13 and was a man practically born in the driver's seat p.s. grandfather was ferdinand porsche the man who designed the iconic folk frog and beetle. 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. escape the image of the number one for the are always winners and losers. and with our partners which v.w. has across the whole world are in turn 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 group chairman the merger with a long time ambition of his the father of 12 children believed v.w. and pushup belongs together. that in 2015 p.s. found himself in a power struggle with v.w. then c.e.o. martin venter cornered it was a struggle ph lost and he resigned an abrupt end to a story to korea. and lots to and telling horse he's an

auto industry analyst with evercore i.s.i. in london hi and thank you for joining us how would you describe what kind of executive was he. well he was extremely determined he has as we say petrol in his blood but he was determined to win car races he was determined to turn companies around 4 it was determined to deliver the best quality possible in the automotive industry and as you rightly said. in you know just now he was to create a false market you know today what do you think was his biggest success. why his biggest success was turning the fox market brand around from an almost bankrupt situation in 9093 when he took over the c.e.o. folks live in the company generated 40000000000 of revenues and

a 1000000000 loss roughly this year we're expecting full time to generate 250000000000 of revenues and profits of more than 13000000000 what about his larger legacy aren't how much do you think he influenced the german and european auto industry is engineering a premium product in the automotive space and the way he turned 45 in a round was always with the extreme focus on quality whether it's. you know the china sea whether it's the power train technology it was always quality 1st the consumer 1st and that's what's sort of defining the german old industry its premium you mentioned you someone who had petrol in his blood do you think is the kind of manager that you don't really find much anymore in the auto industry. yeah that sense i mean more and more management teams are now what i called sort of management trainee to c.e.o.

type managers. in a much more streamlined it was not easy to deal with at all he was extremely demanding screaming and challenging for the people around him and i think that type of pottery are a. personality. really driven to develop and the whole empire that type of manager it. is no longer really around and are just quickly what do you think this means for v.w. well i mean he wasn't really involved in the business anymore he also sold his shell getting importunate as the company that's controlling falls lock in i think so really factually it doesn't mean a lot but i think it extends for a bigger need for a generational turn over the sides of the ocean families that are controlling and fall apart as i said invested a need for

a strong leadership from the supervisory board from the major is shellers and false alarm and i think that's probably his death is probably triggering a more intense discussion on the succession planning within the push families all right aren't allan who are still in the street analysts with evercore in london thank you for joining us. key regional elections are taking place this weekend here in germany in the eastern states of brandenburg and saxony they've been carefully watched because traditional parties are expected to lose support and the far right to a.s.d. is forecast to make big gains also for the 1st time the environmentalist green party is seeing a surge in its approval ratings in the east. met up with the co-leader of the greens and while that ha back to talk about his party's prospects and the idea that he could succeed machall as the next chancellor of germany. this man cycling through small town saxony could well be on his way to succeed angela merkel as

germany's next chancellor in recent months harvick has taken his green party to new heights in the opinion polls they're 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 here god and my walking through the countryside here with the future chancellor of germany. most of all you know walking next to a party leader who's campaigning in saxony in brandenburg together with his colleagues at the beginning of the year everyone said sure you have a good opinion poll that you will get all crushed in brandenburg and sectioning and now the opposition could happen as germany's big 10 parties lose support the greens have been going mainstream. isn't mother 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. that'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 here 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 the return to good old days seize the greens also an anonymous a trained doctor up against the if tea parties and the us kind of gets 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 protest 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. over 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 what with those elections in saxony this weekend one of the local football clubs has also been getting into the campaigning mood the bundesliga team are be like has chosen to put out their own banners calling for tolerance and harmony in stadiums and in society but the club which is backed by energy drinks giant red bull and says they have no political motives. party election posters have been filling up the streets in saxony for weeks the far right a.f.p. are expected to do well in sunday's election. but some of the plaque cards look slightly out of place they're not from a political party but from blues legal football club. posters featuring the coach and star players have been plastered around lights beyond proudly declaring the club's drive for diversity and openness it's nothing to do with party politics they say these are just basic principles. it's not about party politics it's about

the values that we stand for in society respect tolerance openness diversity proudly in favor of an open society we've got 40 nationalities playing in our team our players live diversity we live it as a club the decision to take a stand is a recent development on the street as on social media not everyone has got the message. it's a big confusing i wasn't sure what it was about i thought it was about football though the club is keen to avoid indorsing any party the timing is no coincidence everyone has something to say had an election why shouldn't i be. there are more than $300.00 of the posters hanging across the state but it's at the polling booth not the stadium that section these me a future will be determined. now to the annual m.t.v. video music awards bringing glitz and glamour to the city of newark near new york city a superstar taylor swift won the award for best video for her
