Beijings critics. U. S. Fans travel from brazil to reduce the threat of nuclear of the virus infections go to south america the south American Country has the worlds 2nd highest infection rate its president has been out pressing the flesh in defiance of lock down guidelines. And the cultural dilemma in the face of a pandemic. You cant put a protective mask on an opera singer nor on a wind instrument player with budget bolshoi theater and many other venues close until further notice d. W. Finds out how performers a coping without a stage. Im still go welcome to the program a Top German Court has ruled that volkswagen must pay compensation to customers who bought v. W. Diesel cars fitted with software that manipulated emissions test results the landmark ruling in the diesel gate scandal paves the way for tens of thousands of others to receive damages the federal court of justice said anyone who bought a v. W. Car equipped with software that manipulated emissions tests is entitled to compensation they can return the vehicle and receive partial financial reimbursement from the comic. It legal come down off where the plaintiffs can request compensation from the defendant on the Purchase Price of his vehicle but they must take into account that the car has been used and they must make the vehicle available to v. W. The plaintiff was this retiree he had sought a full refund from fox falcon of around 31500 euros for a v. W. Sharan he bought in 2014. Park its a great day and a great ruling its the ruling that i had expected it wont just help me but also the thousands of plaintiffs who are stuck waiting to bring their lawsuits to a speedy conclusion if you have a log of fallen to. Around 60000 individual lawsuits are still pending before the courts b. W. Is now pledging to act quickly to resolve those outstanding cases for good indeed bargain will approach the plaintiffs in these cases and offer a one off payment the ruling sets a decisive precedent is the 1st judgment on the diesel gate scandal from the highest court in germany. Lets go through this with the doubly business as Surgeon General durable welcome general so what does todays decision means that people who board v. W. Diesel cars well most of all it affords clarity it is a court ruling that says that thought stung has to pay affected these all car owners in principle and thats important because this was a case for it for expired and it was arguing that it should have to pay nothing so what the plaintiff wanted was to get the full price of his car reimbursed. Said that it shouldnt have to pay anything at all because what the man had was a fully functioning car that he was still able to drive so that this isnt could have ended in either to extremes everything back or nothing back and that would have had cascading implications for the 60000. 00 or so similar cases that are out there but what the federal court of justice has decided that this now and should get back is. This man should get back not the full price of his car but the price of his car adjusted for usage and because the lower courts in the country will take their cues from that court ruling it puts the 60000 or so i mentioned on better footing and so what is the reaction been from both sides well the victor in todays proceedings is this retiring as we heard there the report called Herbert Gilbert he called this a great decision after a long journey hes also happy that it would help thousands of people even though it is tempered the victories tempered a bit by this knowledge that compensation will depend on usage of the vehicle but what fox said after the ruling was that it would reach out to plaintiffs individually and offer them a one time settlements now this is going to be important for consumers to weigh their options carefully because if you had already settled with fox 5 and say last month if you were one of the 235000 that reached an agreement with watson already then you know your case is closed its important to realize that those claimants got somewhere between each 1001352625 extension 0 euros now what mr gilbert is getting today following this ruling is 26000 euros not the full price but still 2026000 euros plus interest so whatever avoid falling is offering you please take that into consideration ok so this was a go of those who are going to be a huge company bus affected by the coronavirus lock down so this is going to cost them even more money and do it and thats corona virus induced hit wasnt small they saw an 80 percent fall in 1st quarter operating profits now we dont know how much this will cost them it depends on what flex value is going to offer in terms of settlement how many people will take them but fox fung has already paid some 30000000000. 00 euros in in fines and compensation in buyback schemes alone and in the u. S. Alone it settled for 10000000000. 00 euros so theyre going to keep paying but whats going to be interesting is whether this will materially impact for exxons efforts to rule out quite ironically low emissions vehicles like electric vehicles in the future general thank you for that. 3 for the German Government and have reached a deal on a bailout according to the announcement from the Economy Ministry and return for buying 20 percent of the Airlines Shares the government has imposed limits on managers pay and specific financial targets shares in the airline shot up nearly 6 percent following the announcement but the deal has still yet to be approved by shareholders and the european commission.
