and let's turn now to our financial correspondent conrad bosun he's standing by in frankfurt conrad how are investors reading this decision and what could it mean for buyer. stephen the shares of fire are plunging this morning in the first minutes of trading here in frankfurt the share price lost more than ten percent because of course a huge amount of damages for by air is now a possibility we have to take into consideration that this is a so-called bellwether case which means we're not only talking about one man getting cancer and suing buyer the judge in this courtroom in san francisco has more than seven hundred cases more than seven hundred files on his table where other gardeners other farmers are suing buyer and of course there are eleven thousand more cases all over the united states pending against buyer all those cases can proceed now more easily after yesterday's decision more than eleven thousand cases now buyer acquired monsanto last summer in a blockbuster deal today really realize the legal exposure that they were facing in this. no they didn't. who is the c.e.o. of gave

this is a building built by conrad kett. however, they argued that 2831 pierce, built by the same architect, conrad kett, is only a variation, and they did this in their response by providing a list of primary defining features of stream lined architecture. i hope you don't mind if i just read seven of these features that are very clearly present in this subject building, 2831 pierce, and i'm going to add an eighth that i do feel they left out. so if you do look at these photos, you will see speed lines, which are bands of horizontal typing. you will see horizontal ribbon windows, smooth stucco walls, wraparound windows at the corner. you can also see a general absence of historically derived orientation, and the asymmetrical facade. and the eighth item which was left out but has been included in other city planning documentation is a recessed entry covered by a cantilevered canopy. so you can see that clearly in 2831 pierce. so if we are to get into the real details of whether this is a fully realized stream lined modern bu

about this now frankfurt correspondent susan conrad how do investors view these talks. well stephen the immediate reaction of the share prices this morning is positive which might of course be the usual reflex of trade to buy shares when they hear words like cost savings job cuts. in a sector whether or not investors shareholders also the financial community here in frankfurt becomes a friend of the idea remains to be seen of course the big question question is does one week bank plus another week bank equal a strong one. absolutely and in that vein what are the risks and opportunities of creating a big bank like this. well in terms of opportunities of course the idea is that a larger bank would have a larger market share that all this would also allow you back to increase profit margins which is really a problem for the bank remember. germany's banking sector is really overbanked we have about eighteen hundred separate banks here in the country that's. bangs far higher than in compare comparable countries like for example france the united kingdom and cetera so of cour

and let's talk now to our financial correspondent frankfurt conrad booze and. conrad big auction today how much money is this expected to fetch and how telecom carriers how much money do they stand to make from these networks. experts predict that the auction will fetch an amount between three and five billion euros which is far less than the carriers have to pay at previous auctions you know at the beginning of the century for example where they paid an amount of fifteen billion euros how much telecom carry a stand to make that's very difficult to predict the government makes a lot of all the geishas for the carriers in this auction the government wants that the internet gets foster everywhere in germany also possible country where very few people live so the investments that the keris have to make might not all turn out to be profitable in the end. and konrad briefly there's been a bit of controversy around the selection process hasn't there. yes the controversy is go the controversy is also going on you know the basic question is shouldn't the government sho

the next speaker is conrad fisher. >> on conrad fisher on behalf of water climate trust.i want to protect the water supplies and provides scientifically high probability for the recovery of salmon and other endangered and threatened species. and finally, that protects the human right to water for subassistant fishing. these are three maybe complicated goals, but we can accomplish them. to the fish and the communities who depend on flow for cultural practices, money is no substitute for water. this resolution is taking us down the path that pretending that money can be a substitute for scientifically recommended flows. the recommended flows are developed after years of arduous struggles, and i think we need to comply with the scientists in this case as a base line. the flow standards are a starting point for the reasonable use doctrine, but they cannot be replaced with money for restoration, rather money for restoration should augment the flows. and i know maybe when some of you hear this, you're saying how do we guarantee the supplies of water for san francisco. i care ab

within the last 10 or 12 years, you were talking about things 75 years ago and george marshall and conrad element out there, any body of people who realize that the tensions that exist today can this can simmered or reduced? >> i think there is an understanding around the world that enter depend conditions makes war very costly. for example, the soviet union wasn't part of the global economy. it didn't have any stake income it. china is deeply integrated in the global economy and that acts as a kind of check on china's aspirations for domination. so we're living in a world that's more complicated, in some ways safer than during the cold war but that also poses new challenges that i try to understand and explain in the rise and fall of peace on earth. >> and that is the book, "the rise and fall of peace on earth." michael, thank you very much. dr. farkas, can you come back tomorrow? we want to hear more from you. we are wrapping up "morning joe." chris jansing picks up the coverage right now. >> thank you so much. hello, i'm chris jansing. this morning on the clock. the justice department
