Environment we went on a journey to find ways out of the machine if you want to know how and when clicked on the priest and the whole truth changed as an atheist is listening to our podcast on the green ms. Much of beirut lies in ruins rebuilding the city is a race against time i mean its not just us i think everything they rueful its like there has been severely injured on august 4th 2020 a huge explosion at its port rocked the city months on beiruts Historic Buildings remain unprotected in the rainy season they could be damaged beyond repair. Palaces of beiruts landmark perched on a hill overlooking the port its been home to marry cochrans family for 5 generations. The 3 story structure which dates from the 19th century bore the full brunt of the blast. So we are here for mentions 15 metres and trying to. Directly in front of the blast silo is right in front of us no buildings in front of us theres nothing that took the blast or we did so thats why we got a direct hit and and thats why its banks and was out 23. 00 centimeters. So the palace had stood 460 years surviving one and a half decades of civil war and 2 world wars 1st surely unscathed now its fate lies in the hands of a few volunteers and some talented craftsman. The search dogs are beiruts nobility and this old merchant family made their fortune in the autumn an empire over the centuries theyve collected treasures from around the world which now need saving. Every generation has added something and also in the process has for story so its been a. Evolution of a collection of people that lived in the house at the time. Everything was affected and its just. Unbelievable. Every day incoming chair months lets deal find something that i didnt notice in the car that i didnt see that was there her family was also torn apart marys mother in law lady evil and so cochrane a legendary figure in beirut society died from injuries she sustained in the explosion and mary too was badly hurt. Really. For the blasts were directly in front of the sign on the 50 meters and i lost consciousness for seconds. I. Broke my. Tendons dislocated and i punctured by law a couple ribs broken as well as cuts from glass. Im just lucky i didnt have all glass in my face because i open the door to the balcony. Roofs must be covered in Cultural Treasures secured before beiruts rainy season begins. In the right state of American City that you may be easy to get right so when youre on the right area to analyze you know even i mean its not just us i think everybody in beirut feels like their soul has been severely injured. Yes i mean mecca haun is an engineer whos working fervently to save beiruts Cultural Heritage the ban is hanging on badly damaged buildings around to the port i meant to give people hard. To fit into to raise again so. You know here is a very tricky to connect to to nudge and to to hold so to. Ones roof and their. Needs really need to. Be cruel. This spirit. And certainly we. Saw. All the dreams believe that help you can provide. You can bring enough things to hold on. To the extent of the devastation is almost in comprehensible. As me mcelhone isnt alone she heads a crisis group which analyzes the damaged. Collects donations and coordinates reconstruction efforts. Everyone here is working pro bono voluntarily and for free. At the Crisis Center the group has noted the situation of every single building 8000 of them need restoring as a result of the explosion. From here or the blast. Heat it or this area in a very strong way we have more than 100. 00 unit in very critical situation when the rains come the foundations of these 100 buildings could be damaged beyond repair and then trying to run to put on brain was beginning. To run as fast as possible thats why we look at the forecast every day to see if we have one thing or 2 theres more and to protect as much as fast as possible. For us me mecca on these buildings and more than just ruins. In your. Example of one of the most collapsed building that. They are bringing me. A sense offline being didnt go through the sense of leaving. And say bringing me from the busts all the memories space how the spirits of the sea and in hate that could use a bridge cannot say its too much to stop and its all over and its not enough to try. Yasmeen meco on has to go to ground to examining all the buildings yet today shes a Company ArchitectMichele Dougherty at the neighborhood where tiny high x. Houses in the middle of vision are together they plan to assess the damage and see what they can do about it. Emergency actions in order to help the host who want to do winter they can also get only when you enter the hospital you dont look at the people that have a small injury you put them aside you see rates you go to the very. Very. Endangered ones so what thats what we have done so lets go inside just to see. The money and its. From gear. These kind of heritage its a living heritage because it is do a house of their grandmother grandfather its called the concord. Church a hater just. Even the most important thing to keep it can may have no money but if you have your history or your boat you belong to. Tony hi i just renovated his home and there was. Nothing at the heart of will a surviving as we underestimated the damage. Its beyond what we thought our capabilities could handle. We have to remove all of this honestly we are looking for the minimum amount of work that can keep a building standing and covered through the rain. Its so easy to take your case and the. Easiest way i can not going to blame leaving. More difficult to stay and. Ok michel is coming for free and we support them with Construction Materials but they fuse is short they count each plank each beam thats holding the 1st. Then the add to the middle they are tony we cant blame anyone were all on the ground. Not a lot of them just to be clear the mission isnt to rebuild the house. We just prevented from collapsing and keep it standing for you dont we dont have deep tony high accused to be a successful businessman now hes reliant on years means help happened in a very bad time. Was a good one i wish him a very. Your money out the bank you. Were trying to help. Our neighbors. You know why the government should be doing with. What is a. Few months lebanon has been mired in a deep economic and financial crisis thats because the banks loaned out more money than they actually possessed so customers can no longer withdraw large amounts from their accounts because banks like the cash they can only take out small sums in the National Currency the lebanese pound. That also applies to wealthy families like to sir stocks so in beirut everyone is currently in need of assistance the World Bank Estimates that the blast cost some 4600000000. 00 in damage. You dont have the financial means to be stored this entire house its going to take millions and tens of millions and we dont have those funds. Are not these days the only ray of hope is the solidarity among the people here but your time and spam volunteers to help and weve really seen the worst of the worst of what we have and ive been on which is any fish and. Corrupt political political system and a non government and weve got great lebanese that are volunteering to come in and save the house so we have to thank you thank you very much. A few days later so so callous is hosting one of the 1st events to take place off to the blast a workshop for traumatized children they draw whatever is troubling the images of death and destruction. Rohloff youre going to is a chose the palace for its heritage. Ok so did you see the man get thrown across the square. Oh sweetheart you see how much. They are blowing. Their emotions the sadness and anger inside them i wanted a place authentic i wanted a place its a head at the trough lebannon its. Destroyed and this is what this is the purpose of my its an. Architecture belongs to everybody. The fact that we can share the space with people inside what makes it important and what makes it go on living its nice to have life back in the garden it was good it was 8 good to know you. Might look at it you know im not. New high tech flagship s. U. V. S the red car is now available as a plug in hybrid. Electric motor and sometimes Climate Friendly people begin to. Test it out. In good shape people who dont plate has nothing to laugh about it its important for us to train some of the brain of Senior Citizens and its good for children to cause the forms to behavior and its a lot of fun. To play comes. While a little bit of fun is much more than just a childish pastime should. Serve the interests of the few. Im not laughing at. Because sometimes i am but less than nothing with the. Things deep into german culture. Mutants can take this grandma you know its all about who they know im right so join me for me to have fun see the course. We are living in during the most extraordinary time in history. Of foreign support people before we worked for. Him in the battle. Of the auto and mobility show. Long live. From visions and dreams. To reality represents the icon of new movie. All so i knew it was the reason. One of the richest men in the world to be lawn musk businessman visionary and pop star in one thing that. Is. So the future parents feel good about that of course he can also be a little more modest but no less passionate immobility on 2 wheels 0 emissions transport handmade in uganda actually it makes me feel very very proud of myself to be part of the great team which is such a friendship between 2 people be need to be in Germany Volkswagen is proud of the twa a car a hybrid with a good electric range. I could be driving the whole week from monday to friday without any emissions and finally tamaki tells us about her great passion driving a cab in tokyo. On the. Wide world of email bill of right now. Our rockets of march. Traveling through it to. Mind reading who could possibly be behind these projects. Must be entrepreneur a billionaire inventor. All so i knew just what sets him apart is his willingness to take risks and that he uses his own money. Because experience as a serial entrepreneur gives him easy access to Venture Capital in the u. S. Thats obviously a huge advantage and that combination makes him dangerous to establish players like say the german auto industry. Must got involved with tesla without any industry experience. At 1st the company met with derision. As almost everything went wrong. But its evolved into a very serious rival superstitious german carmakers. These often come when theres something he cant do or something thats not working like in his car Manufacturing Processes he hires people or teams to fix it he does conan or he acquires companies and integrates them into teslas Manufacturing Processes. And now they no longer have as many problems as they had in 2015 and the leader of. Musk is celebrated as a visionary nowadays and is emblazoned on many a t. Shirt. His fans seem to think their idol can solve the worlds problems. Must be stephen said to have inspired movie heroes and he featured albeit briefly in a film. On a poser some of this is definitely down to his personality extroverted always forging ahead maybe even managed and i dont know. He also likes to indulge his own myth. When he visited germany there was a lot of showmanship. He cultivates the myth himself i think for the. Ilan must was born in for toria south africa and 1971 the son of a model and an engineer he devoured books at an early age was fascinated by technology and even as a child was already interested in rockets. He says he used to be bullied at school. He and his brother set up a company as teenagers and even made money with it. Musk studied physics and economics in canada. Then he moved to the us and got rich. One of the startups he was involved with was the forerunner of the payment service. He started studying for a ph d. At stanford but soon dropped out. Mind reading is one of his dreams. So he started by having chips inserted into pigs brains. But is mind reading a good idea. How do People Living near his factories feel. And how does tesla treat its workers. This really thats a difficult issue because these serial entrepreneurs like say steve jobs arent always the nicest people and theyre usually quite a mix theyre often fascinating but they also put people under pressure and expect a lot from them. Who are lost. With hard work and probably a lot of pressure some of must seemingly crazy ideas have become Successful Companies space expert sample may not be taking tourists to mars yet but it is working with nasa. And. Innovation and learning fast go together hes adopted the principle of fail fast learn fast from american startup culture. When you see how big his companies have become it looks like thats something hes passed on to his employees. Thats a good. Question its what idea will feel i must come up with next to change the world. Francis ok here is one of the few delivery people who drives an electric motor bike in the ugandan capital kampala he sees a lot of advantages to it. Number one it is silent. Number 2 doesnt question fury at all. Number 3 y. O. Y. Health claims very well. Ok here is food delivery is being eagerly awaited by a pregnant customer since he saves on fuel he can charge less than his competitors. And hes actually very cheap to buy them in the end. I think. They go there people are doubling their praise so literally to be inconvenient for me. In kampala alone there are about 130000. 00 motorcycles or boulder bottles which serve as taxis and transport is. The masses of motorized vehicles generate a huge amount of air pollution and c o 2 emissions. That is why the United Nations environment program. Provides advice and Financial Support for electric mobility in eastern africa. We need the media responses we need in the media inventions and electric mobility is one of those because it is easier to. Meet infrastructure needs they dont need so you can have a computer. And. Development past. That path requires pioneers like ben look areas korea and jaco point pass they both studied Mechanical Engineering in germany today in kampala they are converting gas powered motorcycles into the bikes at a cost of around 500. 00 euros to the customer. So all we remove is what you call the petrol powered train. Patrol driven. Board an electric train so as you can see its the same bike fuel tank is empty of course. And what were put inside is mainly a controller in the Electrical Solar electric more thought. A battery as a source of power replacing the fuel tank and some digital controls of throttle. Lithium ion batteries for coverage from all laptops are assembled into Rechargeable Battery units for the e bags and the recycling loop continues even when the batteries become too weak to use in the e. P. I. X. So what we do is get the new about his use it for the mobility. After that when they lose a bit of power we either put it we put it in Storage Systems you know like power. Power resolves one loses again is that it of power we go through tortures another small obligation as before it goes through to be disposed. Delivery man francis of kenya is one of 20 drivers testing the transformed bikes. On average he has to return to power to work twice a day to recharge. Events the battery for the equivalent of less than 3 euros a day all in all it is cut his operating costs in half but there is still 1. 00 thing that bothers him. Warned of one place where we where we suffer there but this. Better they decided when they go there to get the feedback. We are getting from the border guys is also also because. It doubles their income. Families. We see kids being brought from the village that are now schooling in kampala because the writers have more money. German engineering daniel today i is taking a different approach he works for a Solar Energy Company in uganda for several years before he decided to bring clean motorcycles into the country with his startup zambo he now imports cutting edge electric motor bikes from china. Each one sells for about 1000 euros. Thats quite a lot of money but the drivers can pay it off over 2 years and they keep bikes are tailored to the specific needs of uganda. Or driving mode is different than a chinese person commuting to work here we really look into productive he was and hundreds of kilometers every day there is still a long way to go though. Right. Only if the boat. Or the liver or. The start up has sold 28 bikes so far and they expect 80 more to arrive soon from china. Zambo is already creating employment sarah tabu couldnt find a job for 2 years now shes in charge of marketing here. Actually it makes me feel very very proud of myself that im contributing a lot to be part of the great team which is actually part of getting through. To immobility for a small fee of just over half a euro assembled driver can exchange an empty battery for a fully charged 1. 00. Percent both effects are fully green since the electricity comes from the solar energy station with panels on top of the companys building. And the Company Wants to build 4 more solar charging stations income pala. Energy is generated within the country not like you which is important from outside. So this has a huge impact on the environment. And we would prefer. I see even 10 years you know if you want to psycho sold any more in the world market its an outdated technology. Things are moving in the right direction. Francisco kenya and his converted motorcycle are taking a step away from gasoline powered driving and its harmful consequences for the environment. This is the new v. W. To make our. Car indicates a High Performance model and this is the 1st plug in hybrid car. But what can it do and does a plug in hybrid version of a car like this even make sense plug in hybrid normally has to bring you to your job and back electrically which means about 20 to 50 kilometers on average so this is very important for the manufacturer because of the fleet consumption and for your taxes because of the state subsidy and we want to know how far can this to iraq go. Before we take the b. W. To our radar for a test drive lets check out how it looks. As from the exterior of the lot this blue metallic paint is a real eye catcher. Whats more the distinctive are badge is integrated into the design of the new to our radar. But appearance of course isnt enough for a car like this how about its performance and comfort. 340 kilowatts power and 700 meters of chalk ocho big points but a weight of 2. 5 tons is another big one so lets see what the jury can do im going to pretend. To drive to walk and then i want to shop. To get to work without breaking a sweat but offers an electric range of 47 kilometers and a top Speed Electric motor of 135 kilometers an hour before the twin turbo b. 6 gasoline engine kicks in to supplement the electric motor. With its 700 newton metres of torque and 8 speed automatic transmission the 2 are a car rolls along smoothly and quietly getting you where you need to go without stress. Lets assume that i work here and the battery is still shows a range of about 30 kilometers which would be enough to go home again and recharge my own wall box and so i could be driving the whole week from monday to friday without any local emissions. As for making it to the charging station with a car which is over 4. 8 meters long and weighs 2 and a half times the driver can rely on all wheel steering and a number of assistant systems for example the battery manager can be used to reserve a certain amount of energy for targeted situations like driving electric motor through a low emissions. That are also makes it possible to tow a trailer load of up to 3. 00 tons using only electric power. The problem with all this calculating is that the numbers are too low. A transport and environment the Umbrella Organization of european environment associations has analyzed the data of more than 20000. 00 hybrids in europe and the average officially is 44 grams c o 2 per kilometer the reality is 117 grams per kilometer and this is 265 percent on top. So whats the verdict on the plus side the following are boasts a range of up to 810 kilometers as well as Long Distance comfort and fuel consumption of only 2. 5 liters per 100 kilometers an hour test. On the downside its pretty heavy at 2. 00 tons and its large size makes it less than ideal for city centers or even parking garages. Now im back home and i can charge the 2 a rag on my wall box and last about 2 and a half hours to fill it up again this is enough to come to work and back home every day all maybe in the city for example when combustion engines on of allowed anymore and i can preselect the charging level to have enough juice in the city. The trauma a car past our test and it makes perfect sense because in the coming years the future of mobility will look more and more electric and combustion engines will one day not be allowed in city centers.
