christopher: right. so the sacklers are 100% owners of purdue pharma, and they own international companies linked to purdue pharma. it is based in connecticut. constituting is the overwhelming majority of their sales. the company has grossed about $35 billion in oxycontin since it was released in 1996. the sackler's have amassed a fortune of roughly $30 million as estimated by forbes, which could be the largest pharmaceutical fortune in recorded history. host: meanwhile, as we have talked a lot about before, there is an opioid crisis in the country. you write according to the cbc -- cdc, thousands of americans died in 2016 from overdoses, more than that there is 6000 that died from tash more than the36,000 -- more than 36,000 that died that year from gun violence and car crashes. talk about the source of these opioids, which includes oxycontin, and the way that drug manufacturers and manufacture owners profit from it. christopher: it is important to understand with our current epidemic is that this reall

melinda: christopher, the u.s. has sent a delegation to bonn. can we be sure it's only function will be to resist? we have seen the u.s. government , a number of government agencies, sign up to a report that says climate change israel, drastic andreal, man-made. the government in the united states seems to be speaking out of both sides of its mouth. christopher: this is fascinating. how will the americans behave? they say they will represent u.s. interests. that can be anything. interesting, the u.s. delegation at these types of summits comes from the state department. rex tillerson, the secretary of state, is thought to be, to have a different opinion about climate change compared to his boss, president trump. u.s. is still at the table. they are still at the table until 2020, when the announcement to withdraw from the paris agreement actually comes into effect. they have even been given, onee of their delegates has been given a leading role in one of the key negotiating panels, and i think the interesting thing is, the u.s. has played such a p

christopher loved his job.tner with his boss, so i thought that was great. >> i met with chris mccowen. in my mind, he was not a person capable of this type of crime. there was no motive. >> chris's daughter was the same age as ava. >> this is not a cold, deliberate, calculating person. this is not a person who had a reason to do harm to another. >> there are a number of people who don't believe that christopher mccowen could have or would have done this and that includes his boss. >> they've got the wrong person. this person just would not do that. when he would get in an argument with another driver over some silly thing, and chris would just walk away from it. he would not fight. >> his appearance was outside the norm for outer cape residents. over six feet, dark skinned, muscular, the automatic thought i think that chris would be a scary or intimidating man. when you got to know him, he was so much the opposite. as far as i'm concerned, chris has no violence in him. >> 33-year-old christopher mccowen had no

so no governing coalition what does this all mean will we have our political correspondent christopher spring gate with us here in studio we also have our brussels bureau chief max hoffman who is standing by will be joining us is just a moment and christopher let's start with you how serious of a blow do you think this is for chancellor merkel and stephanie it's a big blow i mean some people are saying she's fighting for political survival now i think that's a bit of an exaggeration but she was already weakened by the results of the federal elections which she did win but with a much smaller result for her conservatives this further weakens her or thirty is further eroded reputation as a dealmaker is damaged and we're now facing a period of political uncertainty uncertainty rather which is unprecedented for post-war germany max that brings me to you in brussels now political uncertainty how our european partners are reacting. you know germany has always been seen as this beacon of stability in the last years and even when i got them back christopher just pointed out lost a fair share o

s departure from the climate accord but we can go now to bonn where our reporter japanese christopher spring gate is standing by for the latest so we just heard mark wrong speak prior to that miracle spoke christopher share with us your impressions. well it seems to me that. the german chancellor was a little bit hampered by the fact that she is in the middle of negotiations for her next government where is what we saw from president micro who of course has a very big majority in the french parliament was. a much stronger speech much more committed speech let's just turn to looks my share of german watched the german think tank we used to call the climate chancellor do we now have to call president emanuel macor the climate president. well what he said is was certainly a sort of a strong call to action. all presidents have to become climate presidents and all chances have to become time and chancellors what we heard from anglo-american was not very convincing today she actually gave a strong description of the problem of why it's important to act a strong call to action to the global

christopher: absolutely.ean, the paris climate summit in 2015, that was a major breakthrough, a historic breakthrough. so we cannot expect the same kind of result from this climate conference in bonn. it is a much more technical meeting, essentially interpreting the paris agreement, pouring the spirit of the paris agreement into the concrete rules and regulations, the nitty-gritty of implementation. that is what this climate conference is about. at the same time there has been interesting progress today in agriculture and land-use, which is a sector that produces 25% of global greenhouse gas emissions. that area has been deadlocked between negotiators for the last six years, but today they managed to find agreement. so the world will now be able to progress on addressing greenhouse gas emissions that come from agriculture, things like cattle, patty fields, all of those aspects of agriculture cause a lot of emissions. the world will now be able to make progress, because in principle, an agreement has been foun

host: go ahead, christopher. christopher: it is a good question.really difficult thing about the opioid epidemic is that we have the interest in trying to prevent new addicts from being created, and we have the question of how to best treat people who are currently addicted. we know the best treatment for opioid addiction is this medication assisted treatment, which involves some kind of opioid maintenance. if you can get people on a standard dose that they take every day that does not increase, that satisfies their physical dependence on opioids and it does not disrupt their lives, evidence shows it is the best strategy. we do that a number of ways and methadone clinics are a successful approach to that. likeso use medications subject ask -- and new medications are being developed, also. when you're talking about the opioid crisis, we have to get rid of all the opioids, well, that could be a catastrophe also. many people are addicted and we need to make sure that that is protected, these maintenance doses. when we develop tools to get them off of

as models for the christopher tells us it was always the most powerful and best equipped beatle that was taken as the basis for the convertible and in early one nine hundred sixty that was the thirty horsepower export beetle the v.w. itself wouldn't contribute to enhancing the performance i know ignored hoffman looks wagon head at the time gave the reliability absolute priority and so it took thirty six seconds to reach one hundred kilometers per hour from zero and didn't ever go much faster to top out at one hundred twelve kilometers per hour. but v.w. cap steadily ratcheting up the horsepower anyway eventually doubling it from an initial twenty five to the maximum fifty horsepower the beetle convertible kept modernising on the inside at least. as far as christophe's concerned nothing compares with the beatles handling of the steering is easy and direct the boxer engine mounted on the rear axle makes for all the traction you'd need as porsche fans will confirm this configuration works for way more than thirty horsepower a brochure from back in the day describes the twelve hundred as

for more on this let's cross now to our correspondent christopher spring gate who has been following the talks in bonn for us christopher it's good to see you extended talks went into the early morning the delegates came to an agreement on a process to review carbon commitments is this considered a giant leap or merely a small step forward. i would call it an important step forward basically scientists are telling us that the current level of commitment towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions puts the world on a course towards catastrophic climate change so more needs to be done now part of the twenty fifteen paris agreement is the so-called ambition mechanism that's a process of global stop to stop taking every country that's party to the paris agreement needs to report on how many emissions it's conj and assess whether that's enough and if it's not enough then increase the ambition of its pledges now what was agreed here in bone overnight is that that process is going to begin next year twenty eighteen and they'll be a first global stock take of progress made and whether that's e

christopher michaels preferred coalition partners cannot agree on the basis of reporting a government what does this mean for chancellor merkel well some observers are saying she's fighting for her political life now i think that's a little bit exaggerated she is certainly further we can remember she she had a although she won the elections in september it was a weak performance so that already weakened her authority this. signals a further erosion of her thora her reputation as a dealmaker is damaged and you know this is unprecedented in a sense germany has never really faced this kind of political uncertainty off a federal election chris or can you tell us why these talks failed so far the f.t.p. who pulled out have only said irreconcilable differences where their policy points to we know on what points these talks failed well to areas where there was a lot of conflicts was climate policy which is very close to the hearts of the environmentalist greens of course and the other area was migration policy again something where the greens were pushing for more liberal policies while the

climate summit for us in bonn hi christopher good to see you so this is a new approach to dealing with the effects of climate change we understand the german government has now earmarked some more funding for this scheme. that's drawing to an additional one hundred twenty five million us dollars that's what the german junior development minister announced earlier today that money going towards the idea of climate risk insurance it's going into a global scheme called the resilience global partnership that global partnership now. now has some just over seven hundred million u.s. dollars available for the issue of climate insurance at using it to provide technical support provide financial support for climate insurance and also support for the design and the implementation of insurance solutions for poor countries around the world that are affected by climate change let me just bring in a guest on this. from bread for the world the german charity you're a climate policy adviser for the world you focus in your work a lot on something called climate justice is climate insurance one way of a

christopher spring gate strangely enough the u.s. has sent a delegation can we be sure that its only function will be to resist because we've just seen the u.s. government a number of government agencies sign up to a report that says climate change is real it's drastic and it's manmade so the u.s. government seems to be speaking out of both sides of its mouth well this is one of the things that fascinating journalists much like myself at the the bomb climate summit how are the americans going to behave. they say they're going to represent us interests that can be anything interesting lead the u.s. delegation at these kinds of summits comes from the state department rex tillerson the secretary of state is thought to be. have a different opinion about climate change compared to his boss president trump. the u.s. is still at the table they are still at the table until twenty twenty when the announcement to withdraw from the paris agreement actually comes into effect they all they've even been given one of the delegates has been given a

spring gate in bonn christopher as we stand by waiting for uncle americal to begin her address let me get your take on steinmeier is words there he said this agreement needs to be followed up with deeds is there an expectation there in bonn that's going to happen. well that's what this climate summit is about interpretating the twenty fifteen paris agreement writing the rulebook or the code if you want that will help the nations of the world implement the paris agreement one diplomat at the time compared the paris agreement to a smart flashy new smartphone but we didn't we don't have the operating system for it yet so that's what's going on at bonn negotiators have made good progress on writing that rule book i hear we are about to hear. chancellor merkel speech will have back to you and that's right christine thank you so much for come back to you in just a minute but for now this is anglo-american. and visits. it's just. on visit the common but. then you saw the golf what the arts and time that was for the wrong dimension. their team of and on the other do your moms and business. an

so what if any progress has been made christopher spring gate d w his very own correspondent at the cop twenty three climate talks in bonn is standing by for us and we heard some optimistic assessments there especially from the german environment minister is there ground for that optimism in some areas certainly there is ground for let's say satisfaction for instance the book that we were just hearing about in our report that's an absolutely crucial document there is now a working draft of that rule book on the table and that's a crucial step towards the implementation of the twenty fifteen paris agreement remember that agreement is something of a constitution just setting up broad guidelines for global climate policy what people have been doing here in bonn is hammering out the rules and regulations that will allow us all to implement that paris agreement the other area where i think the satisfaction is is in order is simply there was a big worry that the u.s. decision to withdraw from the paris agreement. would overshadow the climate conference it has slowed progress down a little bit
