a. day or a german corporate heavyweight under pressure in 2019 it's blockbuster merger with us rival monsanto has seemingly backfired. it's facing one of the deepest crises in its 155 year history. of bowman's own fortunes christabel mon and his colleagues on the board miscalculated the risks they should have said no the deal is off do you need to shut it at the center of the controversy the week killer roundup and its active ingredient life did monsanto conceal the health risks as lawsuits painting monsanto effectively made a business out of poisoning people and getting away with it. although u.s. courts have already ruled against bayer ordering it to pay more than $2000000000.00 in damages it insists life is safe to say roundup does not cause cancer.

beyers annual shareholders meeting in april $2900.00 a day of reckoning for c.o.v. on obama and supervisory board chairman v. on the event they are stock price has fallen nearly 50 percent since its acquisition of seed and chemical giant monsanto shareholders are going by listing. the board takes cover. in his opening speech months tony's defensive team because the market reaction has been exaggerated in our opinion the current stock price does not reflect the true value of our company but we understand the prevailing sense of uncertainty. the phone's actual. belmont is unapologetic finding fault neither his own actions nor in those of the board. as in previous years environmental activists are making noise outside players meeting face. to
4:24 am
face i think to them that they are is as bad as monsanto arguably the company with the worst image in the world. i think that. is a different the board absolutely made a mistake it totally misjudged the risks that monsanto was bringing into the marriage especially in view of the lawsuits that have begun piling up. under normal circumstances a top manager would be accused of blatant failure and says class for. fun for me i'm very concerned for my family my son works in a department that beyers liquidating he has 3 daughters so also in this regard the future doesn't look good. and he said life is safe and how it's evaluated scientifically is one thing but i'm here today as a shareholder who was horrified by the plunges buyers share price and i want to hear what they have to say that. i'm here to see the face of
4:25 am
a man who was idiotic enough to buy a poison manufacturer but still made so much money in the process of. a man whose day of reckoning his common shareholders take the unprecedented step of backing a no confidence motion in belmont and the management board the censure has no legal consequences but it's a stinging rebuke it makes me on obama the 1st serving chief executive of a dex listed company to lose a vote of no confidence all because of monsanto. today or buy a pig in the poke with its acquisition of the company in st louis was it aware of the legal risks or did the german giant take them on board expecting profits to outweigh potential legal damages profits from genetically modified seeds engineered to be used in conjunction with monsanto's flagship product roundup. now oprah. john we need to brace a solution or with a shot of around out just for a gripe. a greeting an easy way to round. shows.
4:26 am
us. a groundbreaking verdict in the 1st trial against monsanto alleging roundup causes cancer. the jury awards $289000000.00 to do wayne johnson a former school grounds keeper from san francisco subsequently a judge will reduce the award to $78000000.00 but johnson's lawyer feels vindicated . he was using a stronger pressure hose sprayer so he was spraying 150 gallons every morning. and so he is exposure was pretty extreme and prior to his exposure his skin was perfect he was healthy he had no other chemical exposures but within 2 years after starting this sort of nasa sprang he developed this incredibly.
4:27 am
aggressive cancer that he alternately is going to take his life. johnson suffers from and on hodgkin's lymphoma a malignant cancer that forms in the lymphatic system he wants this case to serve as a precedent you know i'm glad to be here to be able to help with the cause is way bigger than me so hopefully this they will start to get the attention that it needs to get right so folks can make a good choice. bayer has appealed this and every subsequent court ruling that's found roundup caused cancer it maintains the decisions reached by the juries failed to acknowledge scientific research that supports life a safe use. a life i feel sorry for mr johnson i have tremendous sympathy for what he and his family are going through when i look at the jury verdict the decision it's it's wrong and it doesn't change the science it doesn't change those 40 years of safe use the 800
4:28 am
tests of the agricultural health study it doesn't change the science obviously the science didn't resonate with the jury we want to understand why because we need we need. do a better job explaining the science should people understand they're going to ship their products are safe. debate has been raging for years over the safety of electricity opinion is divided and the science is not settled. internal corporate communications reveal monsanto has employed deceptive tactics to try to win the debate the so-called monsanto papers were released to the public through civil trials of 2017 journalist kerry gilham examined the documents. these are discovery documents that monsanto was forced to turn over to the plaintiffs and the litigation and so far monsanto itself says that it's turned over
4:29 am
about $10000000.00 pages of documents and this is really been eyeopening because we've seen so much evidence of how the company has worked to hide the risks of its products. roundup and its active ingredient life is a. few substances have been the subject of so many clinical trials tests on animals laboratory studies and analyses but revelations on that once confidential monsanto papers called the objective of the of these studies into serious question. when monsanto says there are $800.00 studies showing that it is safe we have no idea how many of those studies might be authentic independent scientific studies we know that the scientific literature has been corrupted. monsanto's p.r. strategists work just busy in the united states from their headquarters in st louis to devise global campaigns for their top selling chemical lifeless it.
4:30 am
unsealed internal documents show how early on monsanto exerted pressure to even get federal approval for the use of glad to see for example from the u.s. environmental protection agency the e.p.a. . in the 190-1990 s. the e.p.a. decided to just go along with monsanto and overruled some toxicologist that was very controversial and in the final decision and which e.p.a. determined they would classify glyphosate as not likely to be carcinogenic some of their own scientists refused to sign off on that. so carefree lead elimination thanks to round up. it's a sure shot here as long ago as 1996 ads like this one were branded misleading by the new york state attorney general. by model concerned was you know the broad advertising claims that months on to was advanced in those days that somehow the
4:31 am
roundup product was entirely safe biodegradable. you know safe for pets and children. and you know less dangerous than table salt we knew otherwise frankly they were prohibited under federal law from making claims like that they knew the dangers of roundup but yet they were trying to sell to consumers in new york and in other states a different story. ridgway illinois. while monsanto was forced to alter advertising in the york it's continued to market roundup is entirely safe and other u.s. states. across the country roundup remains a mainstay of agricultural production like here but the local farmer and cooperated . in the hot summer months no one wears protective clothing and there's little concern about skin contact with the herbicide. little. usually if
4:32 am
i guess i'm ami i'm not stuck but i'm there and i go wash it off because sometimes it will start burning or. some of it can hurt you but i don't think it would be necessarily wife threatening. it appears most farmers are unperturbed by the debate over the safety of their weed killer over the decades monsanto and its products have made their work less labor intensive and help them secure higher living standards thanks to advances in the technology and chemical property farming is no longer back breaking work. and bayer holds out the promise of further improvements for example at the farm progress show in boone iowa in august 28th. billed as the world's largest open air agricultural trade fair it's the place to showcase the latest farm technology. and many here are baffled by the 1st
4:33 am
round of trials for the. kids to be expected coming out of california where they've got a world of tree huggers of people that do not understand business and while the going to judge when a jury would render a catastrophic award. and how is the world a better place i'm very wary yes we need this product and we do not need over 200000000 dollar lawsuits against monsanto are you know it's better now but. i mean somebody has to pay that. this is home turf for the former bond santorum ploy and their new colleagues from bayer. damage limitation is the name of the game here. they talk of individual cases and studies that exonerates like to say. i would look at that is one case
4:34 am
doesn't change 800 scientific studies it doesn't change 40 years or years and were thoroughly supportive of the product but roundup does not cause cancer. but just. how many of those studies were actually independent german toxicologists are among those who question the figure cited by bayer. inside when it quotes this figure buyer is referring to all of the pesticide action network studies carried out in some relation to the effects of life to say but the debate on whether or not to ban it centers on whether it's carcinogenic and that is the subject of 12 studies. the law says a pesticide must be considered carcinogenic if it's found to be such by 2 studies in the case of life is safe there are 5 independent studies that confirm a significantly higher cancer incidence in mice. so there is more than enough evidence to meet the legal criteria. for rice.
4:35 am
they are maintains that humans are never exposed to such high concentrations as animals and lab tests for a long time management said 3000 studies showed lifeless it was safe. that they revised that figure to $800.00 today the company only refers to $107.00 studies a cornerstone of its claims rests on the findings of the agricultural health study conducted in the u.s. it examined 45000 people who used life to save regularly over a period of 20 years and it found no link with an on hodgkin lymphoma. but since the release of the monsanto papers bayer has had to defend itself in the face of compromising evidence. in an e-mail dating from 2003 the company's leading toxicologist says. you cannot say that roundup is not a carcinogen we have not done the necessary testing on the formulation to make that
4:36 am
statement. when monsanto's chief toxicologist says we can't say him round of does not cause cancer because we haven't done the testing on it there's no multiple interpretations of that that is their own toxicologist saying yeah we actually haven't tested the formulated product so we can't say it doesn't cause cancer because we don't know. what does bayer make of monsanto's evaluation today but no one from management or the supervisory board is willing to grant us an interview and they sent us a man with the title of president of agricultural affairs who tells us that to date he's had nothing to do with the monsanto merger. be i'm dispirited to boot i mean we based our evaluation on the documentation we received and on licensing documentation from around the world the ingredient has been licensed internationally for 40 years it has its merits and advantages and we didn't see a problem is to give them the kind it will be missing. but monsanto evidently did
4:37 am
in 2014 it's leading toxicologist raised another red flag. what we have long been concerned about has happened life is it is on for an eye arc review ready. why concerned the international agency for research on cancer is totally independent its verdict carries weight. i arc is part of the world health organization which in turn is a specialized agency of the united nations australian professor lynne fritchey was on the panel of experts who study go i forsee ever since she's been targeted with harsh criticism from the agricultural industry. people can trust arc is a institution that has been doing this for a long time there are transparent procedures as to what. the groups need to do the groups are the best people in the world in this area they have no conflicts of interest and they look at their literature that available publicly that spirit
4:38 am
viewed that quality and come up with a decision i are classified life or so it was probably carcinogenic to humans and yet life for sleep has remained on the market. lynne fritchey says monsanto's response to the findings was highly derogatory you know how that seems to imply that we did this on purpose that we were out to get one life cycle monsanto and that's not the case we were there to follow my x. procedures to do you do a fair assessment of what the scientific evidence was and that's what we did and so it's not it's not right to say that we've this much something we looked at the evidence and we came up with a conclusion that we thought fitted the evidence based. shortly after iraq's classification of life or states license was up for renewal at the us
4:39 am
environmental protection agency. just before its experts convened one outspoken critic was excluded from the review. i mean i was shocked in november you know but the week or so after the presidential election i was informed you know i was being removed from the panel. the agro chemical industry and. one lobby group claimed he was biased and i agree with the international agency for research on cancers review that concluded that there was evidence some evidence that live a say was seated with none hodgkin's lymphoma and that people exposed to the life of say. without their formal panel consultant peter infante the e.p.a. renewed life a state's license despite negative classification which bayer continues to dispute . there's going to be
4:40 am
a mischaracterization of remarkable tool that needs to stay in farm hands it was going to be dispersed in a fashion that was inappropriate and we're preparing to make sure the public understand understands the safety of life straight i think there are strongly valid reasons to do that. yeah i. do. with their marriage to monsanto managers at bayers headquarters and live a commission didn't just acquire roundup and its estimated annual sales of some 3500000000 euros they also adopted monsanto's defense of the main ingredient. music and enough before and as we remain convinced that glyphosate is a safe product. based on all this information the board of management consider the liability risk in connection with life's a fate to be low. at the same time we're also aware of the tremendous importance of life estate for the global food supply and. bayer has battled fierce criticism from
4:41 am
environmentalists but steel with monsanto has also been denounced in german boardrooms like here in frankfurt at the asset management group of us its main shareholder is deutsche bank. yeah i'm susie i can afford it they wanted it too badly and if you invest a lot of time on something this deal was more than 2 years in the making then there's often a tendency to say we've spent so much time and money so even if it's all not perfect now. we have to go ahead with it sourcing. christiane speaks for many bayer.
