according to some studies the top foreign investors and prominent well quite come from the us malaysia singapore and the united arab emirates. foreign investors tend to promote non-organic can just real farming which tends to use lots of fertilizers to boost crop yields with lost an effect on the soil in germany for example nearly 20 percent of agricultural land is so polluted with fact realizes that the groundwater contains nitrate levels above the legal limits one way or another we all live off the land but the question is who owns it benefits and is it being well tended. now ok some individuals or funds investing in land do have noble motives like preserving nature and sustaining people's livelihoods but many are also just in it for the money and that often means exploiting the soil and sucking it dry in eastern germany about a quarter of farmland now belongs to agri businesses and investment farms they're not interested in organic or animal friendly farming they want to see yields from their investment as a result land prices are soaring and many farmers are really feeling squeezed out. this

talking to american spies but he provided information to them usually meeting his handlers in singapore or malaysian malaysia that he was killed. >> that's right. that's one of the big questions whether this relationship was fair out by the north korean regime and whether that was a reason that kim jong nam was assassina assassinated. there's reporting there had been an assassination order for him for many years. these brothers never really knew each other very well. they are of much different age. kim jong-un is much i don't thinker -- younger. they have different mothers. it's not clear he would have had really great insight sboos the current regime. as you know, north korea is one of the hardest spying targets that the cia has. it would have been negligent not to reach out to him. the question is whether they were able to keep that relationship a secret. that's their ultimate job is to keep therair assets live. >> there's some reporting that in the trial held for one of the two women accused of the assassination plot, they were seen on camera with this nerve agent, one of those trials suggested

kim yong-nam, according to the journal, would meet with american agents in singapore and malaysia.ptured nam being smeared with poison in an airport in 2017. south korea's intelligence agency blamed kim jong-un for the assassination. cnn's paula hancocks is live for us in seoul, south korea and paula, what do we know about how the cia is said to have cultivated king jong-nam? >> well, jake, what we're learning is from one of the defense lawyers of those -- one of the two women who smeared that nerve agent on king jong-nam's face in that international airport, and what he has told cnn is based on his knowledge, he does believe that doi kim yong-nam met with an american intelligence agent at the resort island in malaysia. we understand he is privy to all the evidence that was given in court. and we also know that when he was questioning one of the intelligence agencies, one of the police officers within that court case, they dpladmitted th king jong-nam had met with an american five days before he was murdered, but they couldn't ascertain his identity and couldn't tell whether or not

goes that kim jong nam had became an informant for the cia and would occasionally travel to singapore and malaysiasmeared a nerve agent on his face at kuala lumpur airport. bruce klingner is from the heritage foundation's asian studies center. he spent 20 years at the cia and defense intelligence agency and was division chief for north korea. is this true, was kim jong—un's half brother and american asset?” is this true, was kim jong—un's half brother and american asset? i was in the cia many years ago but it is certainly possible. the cia would have been very interested in any information about kim jong—un or the regime, especially when the father, kimjong—un, died in 2011. very little was known about kim jong—un. every one of his swiss classmates was interviewed and i presume the us would have interviewed the sushi chef, and even dennis rodman, who was the american with most face time with kim jong—un. america was the american with most face time with kimjong—un. america would have been interested in any information. getting closer to that regime is something they would have liked. president tru

malaysia. i felt it in singapore. i felt it in korea in the last few weeks. and then there's uncertainty in korea. that's something that concerns me is that, you know, it seemed to me from when i was reading while i was there that president trump is very popular with the progressives and he's really disliked by the conservatives in korea. >> hmm. >> because they don't think he's tended to the alliance. key canceled the exercises. and he seems like he's too soft on north korea. and progressives love him because he has the summits and because of the things he said in singapore after the first summit. i worry about that because my expectation -- i'm not -- people said they don't make predictions. my colleague, she doesn't make predictions. my prediction is the trump administration is going to become disappointed with north korea. and then i don't know who's left in south korea. who's going to be close to the united states because the progressives are going to be disappointed with the trump administration. the conservatives are already disappointed and that worri

that trade war is painful for those closest partners and i was in singapore a few days ago and to drop precipitously. also in malaysia to be very concerned and china into t eight. there is a lot of confusion and concern. and also that narrative of the economic policy pretty much all of that policy is predatory. nobody is more concerned of those negative aspects than china's neighbors. so for example in malaysia they were concerned there was corruption with those previous governments to express publicly but at the same time to get infrastructure and then one of the united states says they are not criticizing beijing. it's very good to have diplomacy you allow yourself to be preyed upon. and to see that opportunity to build infrastructure to worry about the negative but what what is only starting to happen they sustain that narrative in a way that builds those relationships. and with northeast asia and japan in the trade war and japan has moved into that gap. investment in china has gone up. and lastly with north korea and iran the united states has to accept what president xi was trying to drive home there is no way t
