and even with this chemical industry to export these drugs the industry will likely move to a place like india that is already starting to make fentanyl. so we need to focus on the demand side that's only thing we can do ourselves. that is the name of the game with harm reduction. >> you make a really interesting comment that the fentanyl dealers understand the demand for opioids right now. and to tell the whole story about oxycontin and oxycodone. then the shout out. but your point is well taken that if we don't get a handle and then to meet so many people in recovery and then to recognize that that's a possibility or a probability. and mental health treatment. and to get people to a healthy place. and there is so much history. you had an incredible story of the opioid wars and those drugs that are imported to the united states. tell that story. >> with those opium wars in the early 19th century and what was happening is england was sending opium into china and the chinese people were getting addicted. the chinese leader said we want you to stop bringing this into our country. but engla

military jets to big air bust passenger planes and of course the technical industry giant in the chemical industry also one of the most valuable companies in the dax but the most valuable is s a p and just last year a fin tech with a very narrow business model kicked out old school could not spank out of the dots and it's really old and older digital companies that are creating such a buzz on stock exchanges all around the world. that's right to digital companies like that fin tech wire card but also if you look at the big picture in the united states companies like apple facebook amazon and alphabet google they're the ones who interests and most investors and that's why they're among the most valuable companies in the world but the leaders have to have an impression of being able to change develop transform the business model and all the successful digital companies do that they have to do that even with their business model to stay in the game all the balance of the frankfurt stock exchange. the united states and china have agreed to return to the negotiating table in early october in washington

it started out because china wanted to encourage its chemical industries, it's exports, wanted to go the chinese economy through all these chemical exports. the problem is that these tax breaks, these government incentives that were designed to go to legitimate chemical companies have also been going to these rogue companies, these companies exporting fentanyl and fentanyl like drugs. and at one point though you have got to say who's in charge, whose steering the ship. and one example is, laster in the midst of the trade war, the trade war was really ramping up between the u.s. and china. and right in the middle of all this china raised its tax rebate for exporting fentanyl from 9% to 10%, right in the middle, in the middle of this huge opioid crisis, all these people dying. china raised this rebate. so it makes me wonder, is this intentional or not? there's not a smoking gun but it's certainly something to consider. >> host: well, i appreciate the depth of your research in this is just extraordinary. >> guest: thank you. >> host: and a couple of minutes we have left, is there any ot

ready the chemical industry is dictating and nippy elating the regulatory process at every level and what's happening and quiet is really a template for what they've already done to the rest of the country and what they want to do the whole world the reason we don't have better safety standards is because there's an absolute collusion and conflict of interests between those who are actually supposed to protect our safety and the fact that they. i actually have monetary interests with major biotech and pharmaceutical companies so for example let's consider linda fischer here was someone who was with the e.p.a. and then she went to join and become the head of government affairs at monsanto and now she's a vice president of safety health and environment and chief sustainability officer dupont so her interests are not only to ensure the advancement of dupont but she also used to be at the e.p.a. and she understands all the loopholes busy within the e.p.a. to advise her organization of how to get through safety issues another example is terri medley here's a person who is an administrator

meant to encourage the chemical industry exports and through the use chemical exports. and then going to the road companies with the fentanyl and fentanyl like drugs and you know who is in charge and steering the ship and that one example was last year in the midst of the trade war and to raise the tax rebates. with 9 percent and 10 percent and then china raised the rebate so makes me wonder and there isn't a smoking gun. >> i appreciate the depth of your research is extraordinary. in the couple minutes we have left is there any other stories that stands out that you want to be sure to get across to the listeners? >>. >> it isn't just drug abusers a long time addicted users. it could be in any powder or in any pill. the singer prints thought he was taking a legitimate narcotic pharmaceutical pain pill it even had percocet stamped on it and was legitimate but it was cut with fentanyl and that is how he died. people are taking what they think is cocaine and they are dying. the unfortunate thing is these types of drugs are not safe anymore i experimented with drugs when i

industries like agriculture. a great example of this is my portfolio company pivot bio. pivot is using microbes to disrupt the $200 billion chemical fertilizer industry. they let row crops like corn and wheat affix their own nitrogen and prevent having to apply fertilizer with big tractors. it boostst yield and it is lower cost. >> what is behind that venture? i knowt financial, hey we can make money on this. but you are really interested in the world of agriculture? >> absolutely. we feel it is a tremendous opportunity to apply the new technologies to disrupt it and provide a return. it is also a polluting industry. >> absolutely. >> synthetic fertilizer, that industry produces 10% of global greenhouse gas conditions. if we can attack that and make it more profitable for farmers that's a win/win. that's the type of investments we at data collective like to make. >> you have raised your fifth --? >> our fifth flagship fund our eighth overall. >> dcvcv. >> five, dcvc five. >> thank you for joining us. back in just a minute. >>> welcome back to "press:here." i was reading your articles. i want to start with you kristen. you wrote an

we've seen growth in appalachia with the petro chemical industry and oil and gas developments.economy is growing steadily. manufacturing technology, oil and gas, we have widespread growth in ohio and things are moving in the right direction. stuart: look, your state, i always think of ohio as an industrial state, and i think of it as an energy state. i can't for the life of me understand why anyone would vote for a candidate who goes for the green new deal. where am i going wrong on this? surely it's a slam-dunk, isn't it, in ohio? >> look, much of the growth in the poorest parts of our state have been due to the oil and gas revolution that's occurred. it's spawning new industries, it's creating petro chemical industry along the ohio river in eastern ohio. the green new deal would kill all of that. that part of the state, i can promise you, thereen new deal is a loser and if you can't do well in that part of the state, you're not going to win ohio. stuart: i'm sure you're aware of this, sir, but the republicans are going to fly a banner around the site of the houston debate ton

taking the brunt of this industry when you look at the history of the chemical corporations that we're talking about we're talking about corporations that created the nucular by. dioxin. agent orange and many of the top 12 percent that are getting pollutants that destroy our world. rachel carson said it in a book silent spring but how it said it in his book agriculture testament that industry that had chemicals the walls they got so addicted to profits that they then retooled and redesigned agriculture to make it dependent on these chemicals. a neo nicotine oid is a neuro toxin for an insect so when an insect ingest the neo nicotine oid it actually disrupts the nervous system of that insect so neo to know it is an insecticide which is used to kill an insect in a recent set of publications which are nearly over $800.00 papers they've shown that nicotine oids are actually showing up in the pollen of wild flowers which are then being consumed by b.s. so the sun and butterflies die. is a lot of the design of the use of only says. what's different about neo nicotine noids is that they're pr

we have also sanctioned petro chemical exports, industrial metals, precious metals.o do for the world's leading sponsor of terrorism. we also know that pressure will likely bring iran back to the negotiating table so we can get a much better deal. david: we were just joined by fortune magazine who had been tied up in traffic. go ahead, adam. >> i apologize for being late. you reference the deal we got out of, whatever you think of the regime, the united states government and our allies crafted a deal with that regime which we unilaterally got out of, as you noted. why would -- how do you explain how that regime, terrorist, not terrorist, what have you, should trust our government to do a deal when we unilaterally pull out of deals? >> because that deal was made with president obama who is no longer in office. and it was never submitted to the senate as a treaty. that agreement has no legal status in our system. it was a political commitment made by a president who is no longer in office. this president wants to negotiate a new and better deal. and we think that there

pigs are slaughtered in the country it's a 1000000000 euro market that is a huge earner for industry. chemical companies make money from medication and pesticides the farm supplies sector from fodder mixtures and fertilizers the agro financial industry from loans for agricultural machinery and large scale animal sheds the meat industry from slaughtering and processing and finally the retail sector from the sale of food products. and production continues to rise germany is now the world's furred biggest exporter of food. in order to survive martin rumsfeld just says he'd have to expand which would 1st mean going into debt there is a farmer's union but he doesn't sense much support from them. a bone for bond bank vault they got they have no interest in the small farmers only in the quantities of feet they can sell and then keeping the speed pellet plants running. the lot of people representing the union also sit on the boards of b. companies including the collectors the lot and insurance for x. factor of them or and for the who i can't make sense of it i'm in a bit on going to we have managers i

the chemicals trading higher, industrial goods trading higher, basic resources trading higher. sure you can pull too much away from this. they are trading in reasonably tight ranges. retail is trading higher. it is a real mix. you are getting more defensive names. if you look at the stoxx 600 and look at the points positioning, it is some of the defensive names doing better, adding the most points. the bottom end of the market, there is oil and gas trading down. the impact to the downside is not great. utilities taking a little off today, real estate taking a little off as well. it is an interesting mix. i do not think you can take a clear sense away from the market today. let's take a look at where the individual stories line terms of the name. nestle up 1%. san fran is trading higher. 1.43% -- shell down 1.43%. guy: the oil produced -- vonnie: the oil producers are lower in today's trades as well. the s&p, the dow, the nasdaq all up .1 or .2%. the 10 year at 1.55. the dollar index continues to weaken. still above 98 and the vix is calm today on a friday session. index down on

industrial revolution. the world's biggest chemical company b a s f claims it slashed its greenhouse gas emissions by half compared to its 1990 levels all while doubling production output that could help the company's bottom line now that the german government plans to put a price on c o $2.00 fossil fuels are about to become more expensive it's a market based approach to boost investment in clean technologies. one thing is certain new climate friendly technologies are expensive and that's primarily because they need markedly larger amounts of renewable energy and capital investment. investments that has been working on for years the company is spending a total of 44000000 euros on developing new electric cars in times on its own is. vital and it's a fundamental and extensive transformation in. the here and we'll see the 1st signs of how successful we will be in the coming years. and what the industry as we know it now will no longer existed in and. the german government's plans also call for a larger financial incentives for customers to buy electric cars which is why v.w. is on board with berlin's climate protec

which is a petro chemicals company and a few other industries these are all valid because of the apartheid regime and build these incredibly looting industries that affect the communities that live next to them and they also have a huge impact on using carbon emissions it's good to put a human face to the climate change story and i think this is an opportunity to do that and at the same time track the conference in new york track it as effectively as possible look at what the government here is doing and what it plans to announce as impressive as the consortium's joint output has been the question begged is what took them so long the new york times had this page one story on a scientist working for nasa predicting much of what we are seeing today record heat waves droughts and sea level rises if global warming went on checked that piece was written 31 years ago in 1908. what followed has been not just a failing of governments but of news media as well part of which is a continuing failure to connect the dots on us broadcast networks a.b.c. c.b.s. and n.b.c. all recently gorged on the cover

so good mangroves get cut down indiscriminately you see garbage everywhere even industrial plants release the chemicals here. one sank and polluted the waka so many fish have died and the ones that remain can't breed fast enough i know for. this is steadily decreasing a clear sign that the mangroves are not doing well the fold. in many parts of number is mangroves have succumbed to indiscriminate pollution about 30 percent have been bribed out who were the last few decades but that's not all. illegal constructions which happen people with bad. walls structures the reconstruction. and the thing is that the. biggest threat still mangled because they have set up 3. weeks of inside the mangoes inside dense mangoes and the legit from going into the mangoes and and degrading this is. used to be a place. for fresh now you can barely stand there because of the nature which is coming out of these dumping grounds into the creek. more than 100 cases of mangrove description but reported in mumbai in 2018 both on government and private land the government has now hired additional security personnel. some grip the b

technologies like the production of genetically modified crops the use of chemical fertilizers and increased mechanisation. this industrial agriculture model doesn't give sufficient consideration to the strain that food production puts on the environment and this impact is huge. the agricultural sector is the 2nd largest emitter of greenhouse gases after the energy sector the industry is also the largest consumer of water. to make crops more resilient and harvests bigger farmers increasingly use pesticides and fertilizers rich in nitrogen potassium and phosphates. another feature of this model is the practice of monoculture meaning farmers focus on one or 2 types of crops over an entire farm or area. this is thought to be a highly productive method of farming which is simpler to manage and boasts greater yields but the downside to this is the degradation of soil and water sources and that. struction of natural eco systems. extended periods of droughts and floods a weather cycle exacerbated by climate change also brings crop failure groundwater depletion and food insecurity. now germany has had a long tradition of organic
