Unconstitutional. Hawaii. Now for the latest Financial News with jamie and World Business report. Clearing the air. Volkswagen to plead guilty to us fraud charges as it tries to put dieselgate behind it. Plus, we send a trillion a day but could social media soon consign them to the recycle bin . We celebrate 25 years of the Email Attachment. Welcome to World Business report. We start in detroit in the usa, where in a few hours time volkswagen is due to plead guilty to charges of fraud and Obstruction Ofjustice by cheating diesel emissions tests. The formal plea will draw a line under the us side of the scandal, following a plea bargain reached in january. But its far from over. Lets just remind you of the details. It follows a plea bargain reached in january. But it is far from over. Vw has admitted 11 million vehicles worldwide had software installed to beat Regulators Checks on emissions. In some cases they were up to a0 times higher than the us legal limit. So far thats led to around 20 billion in settlements and fines in the us alone, where just half a million of the Cheating Diesels were sold. But the vast majority, 8 million, were sold here in europe. This week the European Commission agreed to oversee action from 22 different Consumer Protection authorities in the region. So there could be another huge Compensation Bill on the way. Meanwhile, vw is working on reinventing itself for the future by investing in electric and self driving cars. Today its also scheduled to unveil a partnership with indian carmaker tata, which will see the Companies Work together on Vehicle Development in one of the Fastest Growing car markets in the world. At home in germany, the Emissions Scandal is posing some awkward questions for chancellor angela merkel. This week she had to testify before a parliamentary enquiry investigating if her government shielded volkswagen from regulators despite knowing the auto giant was carrying out emissions cheating. Translation we expect the german chancellor to explain how the Ricky HendersonIndustry Scandal could arise here in germany, but was exposed in the us. How the biggest Industry Scandal. Why did German Authorities and the German Government fail, and even turn a blind eye to the cause . That is what a lot of the witnesses we heard were saying. Professor Krish Bhaskar is founder of the miru, Motor Industry Research unit, at the university of east anglia. The United States, first. A line can be drawn underneath that . Well, today, after the action in detroit, yes, we can draw a line under it. It is actually able great than 20 billion. The total possible liability is closer to 40 billion, which is much more than volkswagen had thought. Will we find out the figure today . No, they will be court cases and settlements down the road. Not everybody may claim a settlement. Some settlements are our victory. So there is more to come in terms of the bill . 40 billion as the outside maximum. What about the eu . That the outside maximum. What about the eu . That hasnt the outside maximum. What about the eu . That hasnt even really started. This is a new phase four volts wagon. Before, they said we were guilty. Now their attitude has changed. It is a new transformation, and new strategy, they are saying they are not guilty. They say they we re they are not guilty. They say they were within the european test parameters, they met official regulators. They are claiming they are not guilty. Is that because the tests in america were different to the eu . Yes, they are different, but i think realistically locks wagon cannot take the financial penalty of another 40 billion. Volkswagen. Will the eu press ahead with these 22 regulations at the moment, heading towards taking action . Is it going to be a big fight . heading towards taking action . Is it going to be a big fight . I think it is going to be a big fight. This time, vw is not going to lie over backwards. It is going to fight, it is going to fight each individual claim. Andi is going to fight each individual claim. And i think it has the German Government on its side. Opel is gone, which was one german carmaker. It only has vw as its single volume carmaker. I think volkswagen will fight, fight strongly, and i think they are going to contest everything with all their power. What is extraordinary is this company, which at one point we really began to question it very seriously, question its future, it is now back at the top. It is still the biggest car company in the world again. Yes, it is. This is a remarkable transformation. If it can succeed in not settling in europe or in the rest of the world, it has a Cash Mountain which it is investing in its new strategy, transform 2025, in which it is investing in its Ratification Process where it will have lots of electric cars.

The independent commission for aid impact said there was a risk that britains support was leading to more migrants being detained and denied a right to asylum. Heres our Diplomatic Correspondent james landale. Last year some 180,000 migrants and refugees made the perilous crossing from libya to italy. Almost 5000 died in the attempt. Hundreds of thousands of others remain trapped in libya. Britains Aid Programme here is modest, about £9 million. But it supports the libyan coastguard and provide humanitarian support for migrants held in detention centres. But the independent commission on aid impact, which monitors uk aid spending, has concluded that uk age could be causing unintentional harm. The watchdog says that while saving lives at sea is vital, there is a risk that supporting the coastguard means more migrants and refugees are returned to indiscriminate and indefinite detention. And when they are the detention centres, the Commission Says the refugees there are denied any chance of claiming asylum, something that is not recognised in libya, and they are also vulnerable to extortion and people trafficking by libyan officials. The International DevelopmentDepartment Said it had considered the potential harm of any aid, but insisted it protected migrants human rights and improve their conditions. It added that since may 2015, british vessels had saved more than 30,000 lives in the mediterranean.
