At the end of the road they felt after 8 decades the last edition of the iconic car rolled off the production line at a factory in mexico it might mean the end of the iconic bug but aljazeera traveled to one mexican town where the dream of the v. W. Beetle is alive and well. 5 there it is fresh off the Assembly Line the last beetle to be produced by the german Automaker Volkswagen its the end of an era and to mark this notable moment in automotive history workers at the volkswagen plant in pueblo mexico are throwing a Goodbye Party is one of the awesome this is a good buy them to last forever but its also a party a big party for everyone. Maybe it was the combination of a funky design a reliable engine and an affordable price tag that ultimately made the beatles an International Hit by the 1960 s. And seventys the bug had become both a pop culture icon and a symbol of the counterculture movement. While the beetle has gone through several iterations over the last 80 years its cult following has carried well into the 21st century with so much history under the hood could this really be the end of the love bug. In quote depicts a small town just outside mexico city youd be forgiven for thinking v. W. Beetles outnumber people. Here brought up by the has been fixing up beetles for almost 30 years he tells us they can try to phase out the bugs as they are lovingly called in mexico but the cars themselves arent going anywhere. But has got a photo will never go away its the best car ever made it was the color of the century whoever designed this call hit the nail on the head it can handle anything he throws it its all terrain it was the best of them a. Big sits on a steep hillside no match for the voyages heavy duty engine this is probably why theyre so ubiquitous the yellow ones purple ones other ones waiting to be repaired all of them woven into the cultural fabric of the country. It all production of the iconic box why did beetle may have ended for now here in mexico there are still thousands of very proud drivers who are committed to keeping the stealth of life. My little up a little. Mexico city. But take a look at the history of the car its original design can be traced back to the austrian engineer Ferdinand Porsche who was hired in the early 1930 s. To design an affordable peoples car for adult hitler the factory built to make boats saddams was then used to produce minute she vehicles during world war 2 the production of the cars began in 146 and by 955 the factory had made its millions type one beetle by the 160. 00 s. They could be found around the world and became synonymous with the Hippie Movement in the sixtys and seventys they even had a starring role in several disney films starting with the love back in 168. 00 about a beetle called herbie that could think and drive on its own a new beetle went on sale in 1908 which kept the iconic shape but it was entirely different car with the engine moved from the back to the front well ears pricked about how to get a professor of european history at the university of leiden and author of the peoples car a global history of thoughts about him beetle i started by asking him why the beetle was so significant. Well i think that the 1st thing is for many people it was the 1st car especially in europe but also in many other countries a mass murderer many societies and then what was also very special about it was that it lasted it was a run for such a long time over 80 years there is no other car that has achieved that but it did i mean your agency the car wearing a nazi germany took us through a bit of that history in the dark days that kind of brought it out yeah well i mean like its intimately tied to National Socialism and hitler had this plan to turn germany in the thirtys into the 2nd most motorized society in the world the only other one that existed at the time was the United States and it was the people that were supposed to achieve this the aim behind this was part from that this would have been of course to such success. But the regime wanted to share with the citizens that they also could gain records from National Socialism and this was would have been a reward only for the socalled ariens troops of course would not have been allowed to own this kind of a car and after a successful war which the nazis were of course been for this was the car in which the germans were supposed to drive through the new empire the car was to sign during the 3rd reich and a huge factory was built in present day void spork richest of the Corporate Headquarters of flux fun to this day and when the person shockey a part of germany they needed cost to run the occupied country and thats when production really started with this undestroyed factory and that then turned into the folks on the company that we know today and it kind of odd but it also turned into a kind of a hippy kind of my corn cob why did how does that explain that in this context this new little small diminutive rounded car showed up and it looked immediately unconventional that but it was a quality product and some American Consumers took to it partly also from the 5th. On whats already as a statement against the ostentatious consumption that was associated with detroit so from the very beginning in the United States the butyl had an air of unconventionality and thats what the counterculture than latched on in the 6 on to in the sixtys and as you say it kind of became immensely popular and has sold millions of over the years or 8 years what do you think the production is ending what finished it oh well were finished off right now the Diesel Scandal i mean whats fair whats ending now is the retro vehicle known as the new beetle which came into existence in the ninetys and that was geared towards the American Market to revive the brand in the United States. And with the Diesel Scandal the brand really is severely damaged and the sales are down and it just makes no more economic sense to continue producing it. To head this new. Credible. New york.

Honestly with a days outing actual starting with a shot was out in the cricket world cup thats been a packed day and this was a big one no zealand for the fun of the cricket world cup after basing favorites india and manchester in the right affected 70 follow carried over from tuesday india needed 240 to win a shocking starts their winnings left them with too much today as an hour for god reports. These ilands batsmen came out to complete their endings on day 2 of this rain affected match knowing their team had to put in a much improved performance if they would have beat tournament favorites india but they could only add another 28. 00 runs thanks in part to a supposed piece of fielding from brad featured daja to remove ross taylor. A total of 239 for 8 didnt look enough but new zealands fast bowlers had other ideas. Indias captain and stop at sman virat kohli could only manage a stingel as matt ran riot i. They were 5 for 3 then 24 who for after the stunning catch from James Mission i but india then launched a fight back fuelled by the big change a danger was. He took them to within 32 runs a victory before holding out to a grateful easy and captain game williams said was i was. Indian hopes then rested with veteran former captain and missed ernie and martin cocteau the kiwi opener has had a dreadful tone a month with the bat but more than made up for it with this run out. To take i buy my decision. India collapsed to 221. 00 all out you zealand celebrating an incredible comeback and a famous 18 run victory that put them into a 2nd successive World Cup Final that was a brilliant start for us with the ball ready. And i guess on the other side of that coin and it would have been as happy would stop but there were some some good deliveries in there which sometimes take the agent sometimes done that i did for us and that person a good position always feels disappointed when youve played such a good cricket and then you know 45 minutes of bad cricket which you are the dormant so its difficult to accept its difficult to come to terms with but look the zealand deserve it because they put enough pressure on us and they were far more sharp when it came to the came to the crunch moment more for aljazeera. Well as you might imagine the result has not gone down well in india where cricket has huge importance these are the saints in the Northern City of amritsar fun show their displeasure by burning pictures of kohli and is telling the population of more than a 1000000000 india is easily the Worlds Largest cricket market minister Narendra Modi also tweeted his commiserations india world cup winners in 1002011 but not 29.

England have never want to world cup after shaky period in the Qualification Group that a return to form to reach the semis can stay big rivals. Everybody is excited and has been the last couple of days to play this game its a semi fun of will cope i think the fact. Thread the group stages for a while getting through to the stage looked unlikely or it was called into question i think that makes it more exciting for us when we look at our sort of the moment with full confidence going into this guy mostly england have been the probably the front runners in world cricket of the last 4 years that why theyve changed the game in the game playing in particular has been very corrosive taken into the opposition so for us we had again apply then i have were going to play with played each other a lot over the last couple of years so its going to be whoever held in a whoever takes in them half chances whoever starts off the game really well in 1st 10 overs whether its with battle ball going to be so important for the jury the sought it was mens quarter finals dying at wimbledon with some of the all time greats in tennis in action and not just in the mens draw so is the polls.

There is no precedent for this Kim Derek Hall of the u.
