Im sumi so much going to thank you for joining us a Top German Court has ruled that volkswagen must pay compensation to people who bought diesel cars with manipulated software the landmark ruling in the ongoing diesel gate scandal paves the way for tens of thousands of customers to receive damages. The federal court of justice and calls were said anyone who bought a v. W. Car equipped with software about manipulation of the missions tests is entitled to compensation they can return the vehicle and receive partial financial reimbursement from the automaker. Big leaguer come down off where they were plaintive can request compensation from the defendant on the Purchase Price of his vehicle and they must take into account of the cars being used and they must make the vehicle available to v. W. So. The plaintiff was this retiree he had thought a full refund from folks who are going around 31500 euros per used v. W. He bought in 2014. The ruling sets a precedent for 60000 people who bought vehicles fitted with devices able to cheat on emissions tests a scandal that has rocked the books are going on the whole Automotive Industry since september 2015 lets bring in our Business Editor for more of the story hi jim now so 1st question if you own a v. W. Diesel car what does this decision mean for you well 1st of all for me it would mean a bit of clarity what the court has basically decided is that. Behaved ethically and because of the steal scandal owes me money on principle now lets go back to the case this case centered on a man who wanted the full price of this fight paid for because of the Diesel Scandal argued that it didnt have to pay anything because what the man still had was a fully functioning car that he could drive so you see you have 2 extremes there either he gets nothing back or everything back now. The top civil court in the land seems to have agreed a solomonic decision with all parties concerned that they would pay compensation based on that flights would pay compensation based on how much the car was driven so this means that the 60000 or so plaintiffs would have been precedent because the lower courts in the land will take their cues from this higher Court Decision ok so could be damages for a lot of people what are the reactions on both sides of this case well the victor in todays proceedings hes this right retiree called care about gilbert he called this a happy day a good. Decision after a long journey although he did say that that was tempered a bit by this decision to have the compensation based on usage but he did call it a decision that would help thousands of people now fox going for its part immediately after the decision said that it would reach out to plaintiffs and offer them settlements perhaps in order to bypass perhaps in a long drawn out process in court but this is an important point to make now this only helps you if you are assuming flex vod now if youre one of the 235000 or so car owners that reached a settlement with last month then this doesnt apply to you and there are other cases that are less clear cut what if you had sued your dealership instead of what if you had bought your car after the diesel gate scandal so but overall this decision of course favors the consumers heavily and they have a reason to react positively or if you look at v. W. This comes at a very difficult time we know the pendennis of the Auto Industry like Many Industries really hard so how much does this impact. And even has to be said of the corona virus related hit to flight spawns fortunes has not been small they saw an 80 percent fall in operating profit in the 1st quarter its difficult to know how much more this could cost up for expiring and we havent seen a figure yet depends on how big the settlements are going to be it depends how many people are going to take it but theyve already paid out some 30000000000 euros in fines and when you 15 fines and pay back schemes all around the world now what would be interesting to see is whether this case would affect future future fortunes quite ironically its efforts to roll out a low emission vehicles like electric vehicles because of this diesel gate emissions counsel all right our Business Editor genoud with us thank you so much. Now hong kongs security chief says terrorism is on the rise in the city after Police Arrested some 180. 00 protesters during renewed unrest tens of thousands of people took to the streets against a planned National Security law that they believe will undermine hong kong semiautonomous status. The last traces of protests are swept away 24 hours earlier hong kong streets were packed with people rallying against beijings proposed security laws and the stakes could not be higher for the territories future. Yeah that would fire a lot of people think that we exploited their freedom when coming out to protest. But i think the National Security door will affect our freedom in the future and the freedom of future generations a morning like i said you know that yes on the guns where you are the scenes on sunday were an echo of last years mass protest after months of car during the coronavirus emergency protesters came out again due to beijings proposed new Security Framework for the territory they fear it would mean the further curtailing of hong kong is right to protest International Critics say the legislation would also be a breach of the territorys one country 2 systems basic law in a joint statement organized by hong kongs last colonial governor chris patten more than 200 law and policy makers from around the world have joined in. This is a comprehensive assault on the citys autonomy rule of law and fundamental freedoms the integrity of one country 2 systems hangs by a thread if the International Community cannot trust beijing to keep its word when it comes to hong kong people will be reluctant to take his word on are the masses. Beijing has been playing down the significance of the proposed law for hong kongs autonomy while warning foreign powers against meddling we have turned him down sure do with us and i want to stress that hong kong is Chinas Hong KongHong Kong Affairs surely chinas domestic it is is within chinese sovereign rights to determine when how and what legislation to put on hong kong. The communist Partys National congress is expected to rubber stamp the new legislation later this week analysts think it marks the greatest reform to beijings relationship with hong kong since china to control of the territory so. For more on the story we can speak to laura west for it shes a Senior Reporter at the hong kong newspaper the South China Morning Post hi laura thanks for joining us lets start with this proposed law tell us more about how it undercuts the one country 2 systems principle. So when hong kong was handed back to china in 1907 this phrase called one country 2 systems was put in place that gives hong kong a high degree of autonomy for 50 years until 2047 and freedoms not enjoyed on the mainland such as freedom of speech and the right to assembly and what people are worried about if this law is passed as it implemented in hong kong it would strip away some of those freedoms the lore is going to have actively bypass Hong Kong Legislature which critics say that means that people will not be able to have a say in implementing all draft or english see the role and the chairman of the Bar Association has called that unprecedented the chairman of the Journalists Association here in hong kong has also come out with worries about how journalists will be able to operate in hong kong because he says that articles that could be seen as hat pull or inciting subversion that could affect how journalists operate in hong kong with the freedom of speech and that hes asked for how this little safeguards the rights of journalists here and the other thing that people are talking about which is how this law is going to be enforced because one of the things that has been announced is the possible implementation of mainland agencies in mainland agents in hong kong enforcing this law and how can government says they will be under and subject to hong kong law but how thats actually going to walk in practice many people have raised concerns about that well there we have seen these protests on the streets of hong kong there is International Criticism of this proposed law but the chinese leadership doesnt appear to fear any sort of International Backlash why is that. So beijing used the recent hong kong protests as a direct threat to National Security especially as weve seen the protests get more violent and more radical protesters calling for hong kong independence now that is something that beijing is no longer willing to talk to tolerate now weve seen in the past few days the vice premier and in beijing has come out and said look this National Security legislation is only going to target a narrow group of acts and targets a small group of people such as people who are advocating for independence hes also said that he will safeguard hong kong as one country 2 systems principle and hong kongs freedoms wont be cats hailed the Hong Kong Government has also come out in full support of this laura as well and so. Its looking very likely that the what there is a hardening of words that says that they want to implement and pass this law all right Lara Westbrook from the South China Morning Post speaking with ass thank you.

Transfer rumors continue to swirl around like sick sharpshooter team or van are partit was his strike partner use of powers and who took center stage before kick off the dane was handed the captains armband as he made his 250th appearance for the club and it turned out to be a ban a day for the jew then a opened the scoring after 10 minutes. He took advantage of lax defending to guide home conrad limas cross. Shortly after pals and marked his special day with a goal of his art in. His head it was too strong a mite floria. Like think were in a mood. Hausen was also involved in like 6 the goal he sets up. And the midfielder had no trouble finding the far corner leipzig were totally dominant going into halftime. The break did nothing to hamper their momentum then a finished off a slick move to make it 4 nil. Kevin campo and christopher and cuckoos build up made it easy for the striker to double his tally. And then completed the route latching on to power long ball to complete the 1st ever game patrick. Performance to remember for vanna. And a fitting way for powers and to celebrate reaching his milestone. Right lets talk going to sleep with tom going to update any sports hi tom looked good there can they catch up with the dormant and by yeah i mean of course that ultimately depends on dortmund im buying themselves because theyve got themselves at the top of the table now its in their hands whether or not they maintain the cushion that theyve got over teams like might say good bye that is very forth. I think were certainly using courage and for light sake is that you know yesterday we saw them at their strongest their best players playing their best team event is obviously such an asset for a lot suggest 24 goals in the bundesliga now so far this season use of powers and also on target yesterday on a special day for him as we heard i must as i mix it was back and looked in fantastic form in about 6 midfield yesterday just about from illness off to actually testing positive for carpet 19 a few weeks ago so very positive for a lot say hes back in the fold. Well dortmund will actually be playing next tomorrow i mean how important is this for the entire title race you. Obviously massive could be you know really decisive turning point in the season now with bryan win tomorrow night theyll go 7 points top 7 points clear part of it at the top of the league and its obviously very difficult to see any team bridging that gap in the 6 games that will remain after tomorrow nights game and if dortmund wind then they close the gap to just a single point which of course it would be very possible to bridge and you know pegging by and back to 9 behind those 3 points gives teams like leipzig like by live accusing and mentioned back a chance to bridge the gap essentially as well so yet massive games are going all right lets take stock of them as they get out 2 weeks back with the empty stadiums how are fans dealing with all this yeah its kind of a mixed bag really i mean obviously the German Family culture is so important to the Blenders League and its almost particularly jarring in the german case to see games being played in empty stadiums without the noise that we used to without the flags all the colors. You know that have the has been some fairly constant opposition from organized fashion groups from groups in germany but for a lot of people. Its just fantastic to see the ball rolling at school they just pleased to see some professional football being played that goes for you know mainstream football fans in germany and of course all around the world. Part of me because germany because that was the is the 1st lead to come back from the coronavirus suspension which is obviously affected everybody you know there are so many fans so many millions of fans all around the world who just delighted to see some top level football being played again all right im going to thank you davies for its thank you very much. Now you can put a face mask on an opera singer or on a wind instrument player those words by the head of moscows legendary bolshoi theatre captured the di lemma faced by the worlds artistic venues during the pandemic they can only safely open once covered 1000 subsides didnt use your ear shadows and visited some performers suddenly faced with new challenges. The least cost smallest stage this is called the day starts for the fun of us live and tomorrow you have a new grad of ours in the arctic or the alsa just outside of moscow and not in a new studio like before thats also how both ballet dancers have kept to themselves in shape of the past 2 months by doing classical moves on just 6 you meters. This is the most unusual they show ever seen but unusual times demand unusual solutions. Before the girl never responded nick evander was the principal dancer at the renowned. Consent petersburg. Wife maria had been chanting audiences as a leading soloist at moscows the bolshoi ballet. However since mid march to they cant perform anymore at least not in the usual way it works if you do more you can take the theatre from us artists but you cant take our creativity. We train every day to try and stay in shape but of course we still end up getting out of the shape we were in with no stage no real rehearsal rooms and none of the real physical strain that we usually had like when we trained more than 6 hours a day. Cultural life in russia has been on hold for more than 2 months now. The seats at the bolshoi theater have remained empty and the end of that emptiness is. To not incite. This war and it cant put a protective mask on an opera singer nor on a wind instrument player. And in a music theater with its numerous participants you cannot carry out measures that protect against the coronavirus a music theater can only open up again once those protective measures have been completely removed. And no one knows when that will be along with the us in brazil russia has one of the highest number of 1000 factions of any country old white and of that number continues to rise there is also controversy about how Many Russians have actually died from the disease because of the different way statistics account it critics accuse of the authorities of covering up of the true number of deaths russian doctors are massively of a burden and to many of them have been infected to with the virus of themselves.
