having said that it's nowhere near where it was before concerns over the effects of the weed killer for the buyer company emerged talks on the settlement are ongoing they're going at high speed expert lawyers are at this and people i've talked to here who have done similar settlements but not in the fire case but in other cases say there's a good chance that a settlement could be reached costing buyer billions but not an existential threat in the end if successful. the chinese government has no or targets on a range of products including pork this as the country struggles to deal with a devastating i break of africans line fever for pork producers these are tough times whether or not their stock is infected our correspondent in china sent us this report. in the last few months and he juncture has been observing his hogs very carefully in august a case of african swine fever broke out in

a nearby village. to intervene it is they reported that to the authorities the government came and killed all the pigs all of them the healthy ones as well they buried them deep in the ground that's how they were able to eradicate the disease. there are no tools for diagnosis available the only thing he can do is to observe whether the peaks look healthy african swine fever is a disease caused by a virus originating from africa but which is now spreading rapidly throughout china is harmless to humans but highly contagious and you need to know for hogs money has for pigs worth a little over 2000 euros. descendants so fat it even has trouble getting up. it was all you would have it for chinese new year. new years also the village butcher he buys hogs from other farmers for slaughter overnight he keeps them with his own store and infected pig

here would likely kill his own pigs as well this one has just arrived. using you that usually we don't worry a lot about our pigs but since the african swine fever broke out everyone is afraid of how much. the real extent of the epidemic is unclear some experts estimate that up to half of china's pork livestock is affected. early in the morning that time has come for the hog board for the previous night. here's a map the fan is white and the meat looks tender that's good quality. home. nice as the eggs now cost twice as much as they did last year in order to ease the soaring prices the government has released part of its strategic frozen meat reserves the frozen meat says a lot cheaper but me says he is not worried that his customers might dump him we get all the people here don't like frozen meat once it's frozen they won't touch us

. pork is china staple meat increased pork prices are the main reason behind the rising inflation the meat is still warm in the 1st neighbors show up 1st come 1st serve and while his customers stay faithful to him his business has been affected. nguyen every aside our prices used to be very stable in our village but now that it's more expensive i buy less meat. china's government recently announced that pork production has begun to rebound whether this is true or not is impossible to a very far in the meantime meat can do little but to hope that the virus does not come back to the region. every year pilgrims from all over the world visit the town of bethlehem to discover the sights to be the birthplace of jesus christ the bulk of tourists come in the lead up to christmas and this year more than ever appeared to be descending on the town leaving hotels cashing in. at night they
