Congestion tilts the lives of commuters but there are alternatives. But we begin in iran where a crisis might economy under 2nd wave of the coronavirus attesting peoples limits of. One country 3 crises the 1st is political irans government is built around Ayatollah Khomeini and president rouhani a set up thats viewed with suspicion by the u. S. Israel and saudi arabia in particular iran is also employees in the long running proxy wars in syria and yemen then theres the economy straight to us sanctions have left iran in dire economic straits fragging oil revenues rising inflation recession even before the pandemic the economy was struggling now its hit rock bottom. And then theres the Health Crisis iran was one of the. First countries outside china to face high Coronavirus Infection figures. 6 months later the virus is still under control. How are you mania coping with all of this. After every customer disinfect his car inside and out he tells us that no one would get into his taxi otherwise despite this most people are still avoiding taxes for fear of getting infected business is bad today hammett will drive us around tehran all day finally a good assignment for him. I have a few customers who still havent gone out because of the Coronavirus Crisis i go to the bank for them or shopping in the supermarket but i still only earn half as much as before the Coronavirus Crisis. Is tehrans grand bazaar here youll understand why the numbers are going up again he says how many stops at the entrance gate saying hell go no further than here. I dont go in there its very narrow and its covered its way too crowded the risk of getting infected is too high you can see for yourself i dont need to see anymore. Most people in tehran are Wearing Masks but hardly anyone observes social distancing. We have an appointment with dr immunologist and adviser to the National Coronavirus committee in just 6 days he built a covert 19 emergency clinic with the help of private donations iran is experiencing a 2nd wave of infections the government is reporting over 2000 new cases every day but uneasy and doubts that the number of confirmed cases overall is accurate. To calculate. Exactly but in my opinion. Is real. Statistics on. The country had got over the 1st wave of infections at. The end of april travel and lockdown restrictions were eased shops and mosques began to gradually reopen but in early june the figures started rising again videos posted online showed overcrowded hospitals with patients and ventilators reports at the country lacked medical supplies and hospital staff were overwhelmed. No one is prepared to confirm those reports on camera many are also afraid to criticize the governments decision not to impose a new lockdown despite the rising number of cases any policy of the government depends on the money. Culture and the economy cannot exist. In our economy. Or for jail. Sanction. The people need to war. Around 300 patients are cared for every day in this clinic one in 10 is positive theyre either put into quarantine or referred to hospitals may stay has been here several times 2 weeks ago he tested positive for covert 19 today he came to get the results of his follow up test no longer a risk myself but i can infect others im supposed to stay in quarantine for another 5 days the situation has gotten really intense just a few days ago there was nothing going on here and today its really for. Me to meet our dr. Hed like the government to take more drastic action but knows theres little chance of that happening. They were going to enforce a strict quarantine we would need enough money but we simply dont have that the government would have to support the people financially so that we can meet our daily needs but evidently its not able to do that alone well with. The countries in the midst of an economic crisis we need help with space at a jewelry designer who tells us more. 2 years ago we filmed him in his jewelry Design School hundreds of students trained with him it was a real Success Story iranian craftsmanship sold worldwide. But then came the u. S. Sanctions and the coronavirus he shows us around an empty School Building and. I have branches in tehran shiraz god and other cities a total of 11 schools some cities are not red zones they have very few infections 2 schools are still open there but all the others are closed. Because there was no support from the government he initially tried to continue in tehran he reduced the number of students and ensure the safe distance between the work spaces. But things got worse i was also afraid to come to work its all a bit complicated as you know south the. There was some infections at the school but he doesnt want to talk about that hes worried about his students switching to the competition for now hes trying to get his company through the crisis with online courses. In the evening hamid parked his taxi in front of his house his 11 year old daughter is only allowed out with a face mask to ride her bike for a bit his wife hardly ever leaves the house. To run a normally id invite you into my apartment but now with the coronavirus my wife is very particular about safety so we better stay outside. Parents live around the corner he hasnt visited them in months a few words exchanged at the window is all his parents are old and sick he tells us and his job is risky. My mother had cancer i watch out for her safety and often argue with my sister not to visit our parents but she still sometimes goes to help someone has to do that and its a balancing act thats tearing the country and its people upon us a struggle for survival in the midst of a pandemic sanctions. A rather different struggle takes place every day on the roads of sprawling urban areas around the world long traffic jam smoke filled cities c o 2 emission vehicles will this go on forever so far the statistics of a little optimism there are around 1300000000. 00 cars motorbikes and trucks on our planet together and they account for 16 percent of global c o 2 emissions more environmentally friendly alternatives that run on an actresss he hydrogen or by only thing havent made much of a breakthrough in far and by mid century there could be around 2000000000. Thailands capital bangkok is notorious for its traffic drivers often waste hours sitting in jams but as our camera team theyre filming frog global ideas series met some people who are driving change. Welcome to bangkok and endless klong streets the traffic crawls along if it moves at all. Most of the drivers here are commuters who live in the thai capital quiet suburbs. Is 3 jitter party as one of the millions of such commuters she lives in the locks the district of northern bangkok at 7 am she begins her journey and eats her breakfast at the wheel. Its a pattern repeated by commuters all over the city most choose to leave early. That they dont know how long theyll need to get to work. The traffic various from one day to the next some days the congestion beginnings right outside my door other days it starts somewhere on the journey but more or less the entire route from my place to work is congested its around 20 kilometers. The journey takes an hour and a half she once worked out that she wastes 32. 00 days of her life every year stuck in traffic not to mention the impact on the environment const by all the exhaust fumes. Monitoring stations across the city measure the air quality and deliver the results to the city authorities officials here say particulate matter is a real problem in bangkok as they know from personal experience. Personally id like to go for walks in the city. Sometimes i notice that its difficult to bring me there but there are times when i get home and my ice of water in. The corner. And sometimes when i walk into the house my family starts now using as if i had brought the particulate matter with me. And this is one of the worst culprits the old diesel powered buses that crisscross the city most are around 25 years old theyre popular because theyre cheap to ride they account for around one 3rd of all journeys made in the city but they need to get stuck in traffic around 60 percent of journeys are made by private cars that will have to change if thailand is to meet its pledge of reducing Greenhouse Gas emissions by 20 percent by 2030. The Government Transport Department says its on the case. When the. The 1st thing we have to do is build up a better Public Transport Network that. Only when once there are enough public transport options for people to use we start tackling the issue of private cars. Still insist on using their own car they will have to pay a charge. Charge. One of the main plans is to expand the elevated Rapid Transit system or sky train as its known by 2029 the network is sent to cover 500 kilometers right now the Train Service remember to me small number of people only 3 percent of over journeys are made on the sky train or underground metro system. Most of the passengers are young and middle class. I find the sky train is the most reliable way to travel i need that for work it means i can plan and i know how long i need for the journey not like the bus which sometimes doesnt turn up all the driver refuses to let you on board. Im about to take the sky train to see him station. Take me 15 minutes. The same journey by taxi or car would take 40 minutes its so much faster thats why i use the skytrain. For those who dont live near the train line theres a relatively new Service Available and app that allows them to book a took took which will then take them to the nearest train station. Auto rickshaw is. Providing a relatively quiet emission free journey to the sky train. The Company Behind it move me has only been going 3 years. Were doing quite well we got. The call we bought. Before. And now we. Want to. Expand the area on this year. Like elsewhere many people in bangkok have seen their income take a hit in the current pandemic so the idea of introducing a school for cars in the city is a sensitive issue but experts advise in the Thai Government saying the experience from european cities such as london and stockholm shows its normal for the public to oppose the idea that 1st. Experience the key to explain people that. Even. Before the local people also has also has some protests but after. That the people are happy about it and from the result of a show 90 percent of the local support. The benefits would surely make it worthwhile but better air quality and quieter and less congested roads and the income from the toll could be invested in further improving the public transport system. But in european cities too the debate over congestion charges continued for many years before action was taken and many western countries still dont have congestion tolls but things in bangkok clearly cant continue as they are the city currently has over 10000000 motorized vehicles 1000000 of them were. Out of last year among. Getting from a to b. Can be a struggle especially for those with disabilities around a 1000000000 people worldwide experience some form of disability and millions of them rely on wheelchairs to get about but while in industrialized nations almost everybody in need of a wheelchair has access to one in developing countries just 10 percent. Thats why wheelchair makers essentially those who can think outside the box are in demand. Lincoln where money is assembling various components he found all but one of them in junkyards. He is building a wheelchair. Only the motorcycle shock absorber is new. Long and i strongly believe that. We dont have woodrow 2 in kenya for normal which anybody even the one with the models but for this one its a book to do without braking so when you get the one of the 4 toys. In pubs. And that is exactly what his customers need. Katie so your cow has brittle bone disease shes 29 and leads an independent life despite diet predictions on the part of her doctors. She doesnt want to rely so much on the tattoos that is privately operated minibuses theyre usually crowded and dangerous given the risk of coronavirus transmission. The 1st wheelchair came from china the 2nd from turkey but it keeps breaking down. The bits you would scam with these leads you. I would not be there myself needs so when this is made to get everyone would just say this is that beats like whats happened little garden is i have been saying enjoy his neck. I saw its not seen is that really for me to do is im adopting where now my have been which as with sleep on its making i then go on my own. Katie doesnt have the 1000 heroes that lincolns model costs but she wants to do a test drive. Its fast and designed to cover launch distances. On. Lincoln is a keen cyclist and started out repairing bikes then he started building his own cargo bikes and eventually moved on to wheelchairs. I could see help point somebody to us struggling to get to fight to get control my temper. And its really taxed me and i thought of how i could come up with. The solution and my solution was to build a vehicle for them but 1st he had to learn how. This guys going to look from home and he like their love or has been just because he brings everything into needs and you understand or tunings and how things work from inside so to me that would teach. He provided lincoln with the knowledge he needed to start motor rising his vehicle. This modest workshop is where you develop his pressure times. Dead by actions from. One block of laptops on their laptops and these are the batteries i was to build my course especially that really my vision is just in one where youre going clean and using green energy. And i think the only thing that is going. An example for the book club. Lincoln wants to prove that Green Technology is not just for the rich but also for poor people in cities and rural villages. Casey can hardly wait to acquire and original lincoln well my model with its greater range she will no longer have to be hoisted into a matar too and thereby face the risk of infection. Then youre very right another body is muslim. We are all be but that means that talk i dont have it because i mean contact with this person so i have to make sure my safety comes fast in the meantime katie c. E. O. Cole continues to write retards whose despite the risk she has no choice if she wants to get around.
