Gain a foothold in the. Conquest turned into tragedy is not the kind of freedom that we want. How did we become a gateway to islamist terror. An exclusive report from a destroyed city. Phyllis in the science of ah yes starts october 24th on d w. Cut. What should have been a defining day in the ongoing Opioid Crisis in the u. S. Leads many tagging as a landmark trial in 2 counties in the state of ohio is settled for millions of dollars but the battle is far from over. Also on the program say goodbye to your favorite table at your local restaurants delivery only eateries are hoping to take. Over your dining experience. And many South African workers are fed up with the failing economic policies of the government and are leaving the country take a look at the rising i mean ration to europe and the u. S. For business and. Its good to have you with us one day should have seen the start of the biggest ever court battle in the ongoing crisis in the u. S. But shortly before the trial began the parties decided to settle the case the 2 suing counties in ohio will receive 260000000. 00 from pharmaceutical companies however thousands of similar cases are still open. These flags bear witness to an american tragedy they represent the 400000 people who have died of an opioid overdose over the past 2 decades or thirtys contend the drug makers doctors pharmacies and wholesalers all frivolously feel the excessive prescription and consumption of opioids while at the same time flagrantly ignoring the risks of addiction a total of 2600. 00 lawsuits are pending throughout the u. S. Cities counties and states are suing for massive damages they say they need to cope with the epidemic the final bill could come to more than 450000000000. 00 the ohio hearing was considered an important test case only 2 counties were prosecuting israeli drug maker to river and u. S. Distributors Mckesson Ameri source bergen and Cardinal Health but any ruling was expected to set the benchmark for trials across the country an attorney for the 2 counties explains why they settled at the last minute instead of going to trial. That was the problem with the National Settlement that was proposed they were talking billions of dollars pay it with trickles down even up start up money to help any any 1. 00 county started the program and thats why we couldnt recommend to the county that that was a good deal for the county or anyone else but we had to stand alone and say no to the National Settlement. The full companies will now pay a total of 260000000. 00 to the plaintiffs its money they allegedly need for preventative measures and Health Education but a National Solution to the Opioid Epidemic appears distant. For more of the subject im now joined by w. s financial correspondent on wall street dance cause the inside its good to see you so we saw stock prices of most of the pharmaceutical Companies Involved tank today what does this settlement mean for the opioid makers well it means that the uncertainty will remain with us recently there was talk about a countrywide settlement in amount of roughly 50000000000. 00 so now we have this small deal but as i mentioned and as we heard there are thousands of more cases out standing those 3 companies by the way theyre distributed roughly 90 percent of trucks in the United States and we will see what this settlement now means for all of the other cases by the way its very common in the u. S. That those. Actually have never to go into trial but settlements are more than usual here in the United States now among those losses we saw in the stock prices shares in tevar which is an israeli maker of opiates did climb whats the reason behind that jump. Yeah there we got to word from the company itself that they actually had a broader settlement and with a couple of states and here in the United States and still they seem to have broader settlement they also are saying that they will actually donate drugs that are crucial to the fight against addiction in the amount of a good 23000000000. 00 and thats always interesting to see here on wall street its not necessarily about the amount itself but its about the certainty and even if were talking about billions of dollars wall street has something to play around with so they have a concrete figure and so therefore we saw the stock price. Increasing by 8 percent even if there was a temper and not all the claims are settled at this point so this story is going to stay with us for quite some time but at least it was one of the bright spots at least speaking on wall street in terms of here at the beginning of the week in support of giving us the perspective from wall street thank you very much.
