sued the company a total of $80 million in compensation. it is not the first time monsanto has lost a major claim involving the weedkiller. more lawsuits look set to follow. >> victory for edwin, who has cancer. he took on one of the most powerful chemical companies in the world and one. the jury said ground-up was defective and the company deceptive. >> today, the jury sent the message loud and clear that companies s should no longer but producucts on thee market for yone to buy without being truthful, without testing the product, and without warning if it causes cancer. >> the jurors said monsanto had been negligent by not using reasonable care in warningng abt the product's potential risks. last year, court in san francisco found in favor of a groundskskeeper who said it had

given him non-hodgkin's lylymphoma. >> this is the second case where the jury has u unanimously held that r roundup causes s cancer. monsanto and bayer need toto tae note of that and they need to change their business model and their business practices. >> they are bought monsanto for $63 million. a continues to insist the herbicide is safe when used as directed, but with share prices sliding 40%, the purchase came at a higher-than-expected cost. we know today that because of the american securities laws, bayer could not look into the charges against monsanto or intuit looks. the risk of buying an unknown entities being shown right now. hundreds of studies have shown that the active ingredient in roundup is safe, while others have found a health risk. after two years of debate, the eu decided i in 2017 to rerenewe license for use for another five

yearars. now, they face more than 11,000 lawsuits involving roundup in the u.s. alone. brent: here in europe, they are saying that in britain, maybe the third time will be the charm. the british government is set to hold a third vote on prime minister theresa may's controversial bricks a deal tomorrow. this time, parliament will be asked to approve or reject only the divorce agreement, not the part governing the uk's future relationship with the eu. lawmakers have to agree both parts to ratify the agreement, but the government is hoping to avoid other heavy defeat by separating the elements. the speaker of the house of commons ruled that the government could table the motion. lets are part of what he said earlier today. >> i am pleased to report to the house that the government's

motion for t tomorrow's debate complies with the test set out in the 24th edition on page 397. the emotions which are the same or substantially the same must not be put to the house more than once in a parliamentary session. in short, the motion is new, substantially different, and in conformity with the requirements of the ruling of the 18th of march, reiterated on the 25th and the seventh of march. brent: let's go to our correspondent in london. we just heard from the speaker, who has agreed to a fresh look, a third try with theresa may's plan. what is different about this plan that is being submitted tomorrow for a vote? >> it was a clever move from theresa may's government, because essentially, what ththey did -- the big question was, how

do you change a deal when the other side has said -- the european union, that there would not be any changes. you can't do it unilaterally. the government has separated the which all agreement, so the act of the divorce, the divorce papers, from the political declaration. from the way forward, the intention of how you want future relationships to be. thereby, the deal is now substantially different and can be voted on tomorrow. brent: you bring up a good point. is the european union going to recognize this if it is not the deal they negotiated with theresa may? and what about theresa may? she has offered to resign. is that the way out of the deadlock? >> theresa may is determined to get this deal through and she is rallying votes this minute. she has offered in front of her

conservatives yesterday to resign for any future negotiations at that point, if her deal gets through. some tory rebels have said that they are now on board with her deal, that they are going to support it and vote yes. boris johnson, who has smashed her deal for months. the question is, are others going to come aboard, because that is definitely not enough. for example, the northern irish do you p said they are not going to support the deal and most of the labor mps won't support it either. it really looks very unlikely at this point that she is going to get the withdrawal agreement through parliament tomorrow. brent: what happens if this deal is rejected a third time? >> the default option is still that the u.k. leaves the european union without a deal on april 12. a so-called hard bricks a, a chaotic brexit. the u.k. could ask for a longer

extension, so this could go on for months, but they are tried to find a way forward. at the moment, mps are worried that a new deal scenario becomes more likely. we have heard some members of parliament worrying about that and an internal cabinet report showed how unprepared the u.k. would be for such a chaotic scenario. a lot of uncertainty still for brits abroad. for europeans in great britain. frankly, forhehe people in the u.k.. at the moment, everything is still very unpredictable. brent: we're are also hearing that european union leaders are bracing for a bricks it with no deal. thank you. it is not only britain's future in the balance tomorrow. theresa may's future is as well. she has offered to resign if parliament passes are bricks and plan. parliamentary drama that is tailor-made for a thespian and

the british press. take a look. >> and exhausted prime minister promises, i am off, now back my deal. british newspapers heralded theresa may's swan song, but despite her offer, a majority vote for her deal is unlikely. the lobbying in westminster continues. >> the prime minister has said that the house. a new deal breaks it and i think she is right. when you look at the alternatives, none of them are as good as the agrgreement we he in front of us. i hope that as more people think about that, they will conclude they need to vote for it. >> may has lost another battle. the northern irish do you p whose votes she needs publicly rejected her deal because of its irish border solution. >> the backstop in that withdrawal aleutian makes it impossible to sign up. i regret that. we wanted to get a deal. a deal that worked for the whole of the united kingdom.

a deal that works for northern ireland. >> on thursday, the british government announced another bricks a vote in parliament on friday. >> we recognize that any motion tomorrow willing to be compliant with the speakers rolling and that discussion is ongoing. >> house speaker john burke oh had previously ruled out a further vote on the same resignation agreement. now, brin seeks another extension to its eu withdrawal rate. brent: high drama. here are some of the other stories making headlines around the world. hundreds of protesters took to the streets of the algerian capital today to o mand the prpresidt'resignatn. on tuesday, after weeks of demonstrations, the army called for the president to be declared unfit to rule. protesesters oppose the milita's plan to retain the current constitution. they are urging an overthrew of the entire ruling elite.

for hours, migrant hijackers had been at the helm. ththe tankers crew rescued aroud 10mimigrants and refugees, among them 12 children. after the ship was apparently ordered to return to libya, some of those r rescued took command and forced the crew to head toward europe. italy's interior ministerr views it as an act of piracy. >> this is about criminal organized people, criminal because they hijacked those who had saved them, who had taken them from poor castaways. >> refugee organizations called for sympathy for the migrants, citing the near total absence in the mediterranean of resescue ships. >> in these moments, since there is not enough presence of rescue ships at sea, if there are more

departures, we will see more. >> police arrested five migrants, while the rest were brought to a reception center. it is unclear whether they will remain in malta. brent: joining me from malta is richard with mission lifeline, a european ngo providing civil rescue operations for refugees in the mediterranean. it's ship was grounded by multis authorities nine months ago. it is good to have you on the program. tell me, do we know this somewhat you have learned in your experience, what is going to happen to these migrants, these refugees who were on board that tanker? >> h hello. what i have sese is quite a similar situation like last year it came into the harbor. they were taking people o off, t wawas quite a big process happening. they are on the e mooring stati.

five persons were brought in handcuffs, but it is quite the normal situation. if they are brought to a detention center, they broughtt identifification and this is wht we saw at the momoment. brent:t: w what arere you h heag about what actualllly happened n ard thisis tanker? we have got reports telling us that people panicked when they heard their were going to be returned to o libya. this is quite normal situation. we had at last year when we met with the coast guard. all the people on board were frightened, well when they heard d they hadad to go back to lilibya. it is quite a dangererous situationn that mamakes panic cn board. i think this will be the best argument to say, we're going not to libya, and we go -- this

means what happened now. brent: thihidoesn't bode very well for organizations that are trying to rescue migrants, does it? what has happened to the work for example that your ngo does? what has happened to you since this crackdown began? richard: our boat is seized since nine months now. it is quite a depressing situation for us. we're perfectly equipped for doing rescues. there is a coast guard who is in 29 of 30 cases not reachable. this is not a good situation. brent: what about vessels operating in the mediterranean when they hear reports of migrants being rescued her then turn on the ship's personnel and

basically hijacked the ship? what do think that is going to do to the general mood, the environment, regarding rescuing migranants from north africa? richard: it is a very unstable country. there is no menu that you can follow as well as a crew on a normal vessel. the crew now decided that it is not a safe port and that is why they go north. brent: it sounds like the dangers are certainly not decreasing i in the mediditerra. we appreciate you taking the time to look at this tonight. a turkish court has dismissed a case against an investigative

situation by offering far less decent housing for higher prices. >> the bogotá real estate association explains how landlords are making money housing venezuelans in rundown buildings. >> many property owners have made a business out of renting, making people pay a single -- a daily fee to spend a single night in the tournament. >> the so-called pay dailies only offer a bed. tenants have no guarantees and risk adding kicked out at any moment. 19-year-old luis works as a barber. he barely earns enough each day to pay. >> to me, this is like jail. three brought beds -- three bunkbeds amid six people. you don't have the privacy you want and you can never leave your valuables here. >> venezuelan migrants are at
