SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A jury on Monday ordered agribusiness giant Monsanto Co. to pay a combined .055 billion to a couple claiming that the company's popular weed killer Roundup Ready caused their cancers.The jury's verdict is third such courtroom loss for Monsanto in California since August, but a San Francisco law professor said it's likely a trial judge or appellate court will significantly reduce the punitive damage award.The state court jury in Oakland concluded that Monsanto's weed killer caused the non-Hodgkin's lymphoma Alva Pilliod and Alberta Pilliod each contracted. Jurors awarded them each billion in punitive damages in addition to a combined million in compensatory damages.A federal jury in San Francisco ordered the weed killer maker in March to pay a Sonoma County man million. A San Francisco jury last August awarded 9 million to a former golf course greens keeper who blamed his cancer on Monsanto's Roundup Ready herbicide. A judge later reduced the award by 0 million.The three California trials were the first of an estimated 13,000 lawsuits pending against Monsanto across the country to go to trial. St. Louis-based Monsanto is owned by the German chemical giant Bayer A.G.Bayer said Monday that it would appeal the verdict."The verdict in this trial has no impact on future cases and trials, as each one has its own factual and legal circumstances," the company said.The company noted that none of the California verdicts have been considered by an appeals court and that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency considers the weed killer safe.The EPA reaffirmed its position in April, saying that the active ingredient glyphosate found in the weed killer it posed "no risks of concern" for people exposed to it by any means — on farms, in yards and along roadsides, or as residue left on food crops."There is zero chance it will stand," said University of California, Hastings School of Law professor David Levine said. He said the ratio between the billion in punitive damages and million in compensatory damages is too high. He said judges rarely allow punitive damages to exceed four times actual damages awarded.The California Supreme Court ruled in 2016 that any punitive damages exceeding 10 times the compensatory damages are likely unconstitutionally high. The court didn't propose a ratio it felt correct, but said punitive damages should almost never exceed nine times actual damages, it said.The punitive damages awarded Monday are 36 times the actual damages.The lawsuits have battered Bayer's stock since it purchased Monsanto for billion last year and Bayer's top managers are facing shareholders discontent.Chairman Werner Wenning told shareholders at Bayer's annual general meeting in Bonn last month that company leaders "very much regret" falls in its share price. At the same time, CEO Werner Baumann insisted that "the acquisition of Monsanto was and remains the right move for Bayer."Bayer's stock price closed Monday at .91 a share, down 45 cents or 2.76 percent per share, in trading on the New York Stock Exchange. The verdict was announced after the trading session closed.Bayer's share price has lost half its value since it reached s 52-week high of .80 a share. 3266

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Federal wildlife officials were urged Wednesday to withdraw a proposal to drop 1.5 tons of rat poison on remote islands off the coast of California to kill a mice infestation until it addresses questions on the impact to wildlife.The California Coastal Commission heard public comment on the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service plan, which has drawn criticism from local conservation groups. The commission is seeking to determine whether the plan complies with state coastal management rules.The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said in a report presented to the commission in March that a massive house mice population is threatening the whole ecosystem on the rugged Farallon Islands, 27 miles (44 kilometers) off the coast of San Francisco.The archipelago is home to the largest seabird breeding colony in the contiguous United States, with approximately 300,000 to 350,000 birds of 13 species, including the rare ashy storm petrels. The islands are also used by marine mammal species for resting and breeding and by migratory birds.Federal wildlife officials proposed using helicopters to dump 2,900 pounds (1,315 kilograms) of cereal grain pellets laced with brodifacoum, an anticoagulant that causes rodents to bleed to death, which is banned in California.Officials acknowledged the plan will kill some seagulls and other species but argue that the benefits of eliminating the invasive species will heal the whole ecosystem."The only way to protect these species and allow the ecosystem to recover is 100% eradication of the mice," said Pete Warzibok, a biologist who has worked on the Farallon Islands for more than 20 years. "Anything else is simply a stopgap measure that will not adequately address the problem."Critics argued the poison will not only kill the mice, first introduced by ships that stopped in the islands 200 years ago, but also wildlife on the island and scavengers that would feed on the carcasses of the poisoned animals."These poisons are deadly, they persist in the environment for hundreds of days and they do kill animals," said Alison Hermance, the spokeswoman for the conservation group WildCare."The situation on the Farallon Islands has existed for decades. It does not need to be solved overnight with a massive poison drop," she said.The commission has no power to veto the plan but before federal officials can proceed, their plan needs approval from the various state and federal agencies.After a nearly two-hour hearing, commissioners said they still have questions on the impact to seabirds and other species. "We haven't been convinced that this is the best and only way to go," Commission Chair Dayna Bochco said.The commissioners asked federal officials to withdraw the proposal and resubmit it after their questions have been answered.The project would be implemented in the November-December time period when the mouse population is declining and food stressed, and would occur no sooner than late 2020. 2975

SAN DIEGO, Calif. (KGTV) - Wild and violent parties at short-term vacation rentals like Airbnbs continue to make headlines. This past Spring in La n la Jolla, gunfire erupted during a party at an Airbnb mansion, terrifying neighbors. Team 10 investigative reporter Jennifer Kastner has spent weeks looking into whether vacation rental platforms are doing enough to protect our San Diego communities. Popular platforms Airbnb and Vrbo notified 10News that they do background checks, but the system isn’t infallible. Meanwhile, some local safety advocates say that the City of San Diego is, in part, to blame for the problem.10News’ cameras captured the chaos and cop cars on La Jolla’s Blackgold Road after shots rang out in May at a multimillion-dollar mansion that was being rented out on Airbnb. After filing a public records request, 10News recently learned new details from a report released by police. The report describes the "shell casings in the street," "[subjects] refusing to come out," and "[subjects] running upstairs."“I moved here actually 43 years ago,” says Val Arbab. The 87-year-old lives across the street and says the mansion is often rented out for big, loud parties. “It’s always many, many people. It's always adults. I only see males,” she tells us.Arbab and other neighbors say that partygoers clutter the street with cars and trash. The mansion owner declined an interview with 10News.Short Term Vacation Rentals (STVRs) have made headlines across the country after parties at STVRs got out-of-control. Security video from an STVR in Arizona shows a huge crowd. Partiers are seen leaving with the homeowner’s personal belongings, like his clothes. “[I was] watching my house and [I was] seeing them carry out item after item after item,” the homeowner later told a news crew. Security video from Sacramento shows someone firing off a handgun at a party hosted in an STVR. In Arizona, video obtained by a local news crew shows crime scene tape woven through a neighborhood where, earlier, a party at an STVR turned into a fight, leaving a young man dead.Other news crews captured video out of Pennsylvania after a party at an STVR became violent. “A dozen or so gunshots woke me up,” said a neighbor.Ann Kerr is the President of the La Jolla Town Council. We met at her home, a few miles south of the mansion where shots rang out. She's Chair of the San Diego Working Group on Short Term Rentals, which is pushing for better regulation of STVRs.“Our fundamental policy is that we welcome [STVRs] but not at the degradation of the quality of our neighborhood and we want good neighbor policies enforced,” says Kerr.The San Diego Working Group on Short Term Rentals has released 2019 recommendations for STVR regulations. These include establishing a new enterprise fund dedicated to the administration, monitoring, and enforcement of STVRs. The fund would hold all fees, taxes, and fines from the STVR industry. It would be used to help with operations related to permitting, monitoring, and enforcing STVRs. Another primary recommendation to deal with noise and nuisance is to assign STVR complaints to special STVR code compliance officers in an effort to relieve sworn police officers and regular City code compliance officers from responding to STVR issues. The status of STVRs remains a gray area in the City of San Diego. They're technically not permitted, but no one is cracking down on them until the Mayor's office and City Council adopt a resolution on how to regulate and enforce. “Who's enforcing this?,” we ask Kerr. She responds, “That's the whole question. Who's enforcing any of this? No one is right now,” she tells us.The San Diego Working Group is urging the City to adopt its recommendations as a new ordinance. “The longer that the politicians wait to put some kind of enforcement and compliance system in, the more vacation rentals will be established,” she says. She explains that in that time, the less peaceful neighborhood could become.Both Airbnb and Expedia Group (Vrbo and Homeaway) have an online submission form where neighbors can report concerns. An Airbnb spokesperson writes, “The overwhelming majority of Airbnb hosts and guests are good neighbors and respectful travelers. We encourage hosts to outline clear rules regarding minimum night stays, noise, parties, and events and we will take appropriate action -- including suspension or removal -- when our Community Standards have been violated.” On the issue of background checks, Airbnb writes, “While no background check system is infallible, we screen all hosts and guests globally against regulatory, terrorist, and sanctions watch lists. For United States residents, we also run background checks looking for prior felony convictions, sex offender registrations, and significant misdemeanors. We are working with additional governments around the world to identify where we can do more background checks.”A spokesperson for the Expedia Group writes, “We use technology to verify user accounts, giving travelers confidence in the authenticity of owner identities, and we conduct certain background screenings where we're able to. Although we take steps to confirm the identities of our community members, we advise travelers to always read owner profiles and reviews. We will continue to make investments to build impactful trust and safety policies, solutions and support. We support owners by educating them about best practices for creating safe and private spaces for travelers, and we use technology to verify the identities of owners and travelers whenever possible. We advise our community to follow state and local laws that may apply.”The San Diego City Attorney’s Office writes, “Short term rentals are not permitted under the San Diego Municipal Code. However, the Code Enforcement Division of the Development Services Department has not referred to our Office any cases for prosecution. Proposals such as the ones you listed fall under the jurisdiction of the City‘s policy makers, the City Council and Mayor, and can be addressed by them.”Mayor Kevin Faulconer’s Office sent 10News the following statement. "Following through on his commitment, the Mayor introduced a common-sense plan to regulate short term rentals last year. The Council adopted that framework but made modifications, which ultimately resulted in a referendum that prompted the City Council to rescind the ordinance. Our office continues to believe the Mayor’s original proposal was a fair compromise, and will continue meeting with stakeholders to determine if there is a legislative solution to this issue."In a follow-up email, his Office wrote, in part, “…the Mayor has always supported using revenue generated from fees applied to short-term rentals for code enforcement…Mayor Faulconer is committed to active enforcement to ensure hosts, guests and online platforms for short-term rentals are in compliance with the new regulations. That includes a new team of police and code enforcement officers to work evenings and weekends to address code complaints; the creation of a license and registration system that interfaces with City databases; and a new complaint hotline or mobile application for residents to report violations…”We asked the Mayor’s Office and other City communications officers for an update on when the issue of STVRs will be on the Council agenda again, so that a decision can be made about how to regulate and enforce them. The Mayor's Office referred us to Council President Georgette Gómez's Office. A spokesperson reported that there are currently no plans to put the issue on the docket.Arbab is hoping for any resolution to party problems so her street might one day return to what it used to be. We all knew each other and I was very happy,” she adds. 7792

SAN DIEGO (KGTV)-- As more than more children are carried into Emergency Rooms with gunshot wounds, the Medical community is coming together to say enough is enough. With their rifles drawn and heads on a swivel, deputies escort students at Saugus High School in Santa Clarita-- the latest location of a deadly school shooting. Just as law enforcement and educators are speaking out about the tragedy, so is the medical community."There's no more of a horrible feeling than to tell a family member that their child is now deceased and no longer can play," Jeffery Upperman, MD, said. Vanderbilt Children's Hospital's Surgeon-In-Chief, Dr. Upperman said Thursday morning's incident hit home. He is a long-time resident of Los Angeles County, who just recently transferred to Tennessee. "Hearing about the tragedy, I could've been one of those trauma doctors in the bay."He is in San Diego this week with more than 500 medical professionals at the Pediatric Trauma Society Conference, to learn about the latest medical treatments that focus on the care of injured children. Dr. Peter Masiakos is the Pediatric Trauma Director at Massachusetts General Hospital. He is speaking about the effects of gun violence. "We all know that it's far better to act on the side of prevention, instead of acting to fix the wounds," Dr. Masiakos said. He said too many kids come into the E.R. with gunshot wounds - via homicide, accident, or suicide. He said new federal policies need to be enacted to protect them, just like seat-belt legislation and the fight against tobacco."We have to engage the community like in the same way that Dr. C. Everett Koop did almost 40 years ago when he identified the issue of smoking and mitigated that," Dr. Masiakos said. They said school shootings are no longer just a gun issue, a school issue, or a law enforcement issue. They said it is a public health crisis."Physicians, seeing what we see, we are in our lane, and we talk about the issue of gun violence as we know what it is. And people need to step up and figure out a way to fix this because another Santa Clarita is not acceptable to us," Dr. Masiakos said. 2148
