The battle over the world's biggest weedkiller

Glyphosate is in the world's most commonly used weedkiller - available in garden centers all over the world. A jury in California said its maker, Monsanto, should have warned users about the danger glyphosate poses, after lawyers and expert witnesses persuaded them that the glyphosate in a Monsanto herbicide caused a man's cancer. The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Lucy Burton challenges both Monsanto, and a lawyer who disagrees with the agro-chemical giant.
