A basic income trial in finland is being followed with great interest around the world hows it going. But first we head to the Central AfricanRepublic Land in ruins and rarely heard about reporter brings us up to date. From the late one nine hundred century until nine hundred sixty the Central African republic was a french colony and it declared independence but instead of a democratic government being installed the country was run by a series of corrupt politicians and autocrats including the notorious and probably cost of the first since then there have been a series of military pushes the last coup was in two thousand and thirteen for decades numerous warlords and rebel groups among them christians and muslims a force over the countrys commodity. Teil meadowlands gold and diamonds thousands of people have been killed while others have fled to neighboring countries like chad cameroon and the democratic republic of congo according to the uns Refugee Agency around five hundred forty five thousand five hundred people have left. And even more six hundred thousand have been internally displaced. From the air. In the northern part of the Central African republic looks pretty peaceful but what were seeing is actually a refugee camp housing around thirty thousand people some of them from the city itself. Im half of those in the camp are children. Many have been badly traumatized by lucy blush. Shes twelve from a village about ninety kilometers away. I think lucy was forced to flee when her home was attacked by rebels. Who even here their family to live with other people from my village was. A teacher from the village tells us that her mother was taken by the rebels lucy hasnt heard from her since everyone else in her family is dead. Stories like lucys are not uncommon. But imagine the man loved one morning they came to our village they had really big guns and started shooting at everything in sight they even killed children i ran away with my family and came to this camp last year as we watch the. After school we accompany a kid back to his new home in the refugee camp. Only his grandfather is there to greet him. The city its very hard to survive here theres not much aid and we no longer have fields to plant things to eat only god can help us. The camp went up a year ago practically overnight after an armed group attacked the christian district of the city seeking protection the people there fled to u. N. Troops stationed nearby. Bondo is a divided city the small river that flows through its Geographic Center serves as the Border Center in the northern districts is in the hands of the muslim rebel militia called select calm the southern districts are occupied by their largely christian opponents known as the. Many houses are deserted here next to that are the un barracks the cock up under a refugee camp grew up next to its protective fence. The blue helmets took up positions on the citys only bridge in an attempt to keep the two warring sides apart but the raids continue. There are around Twelve Thousand five hundred u. N. Soldiers in the country only a few residents have dared to return to their homes Florentine Don Betty lives in a hut built amidst the wreckage of his former farm which was destroyed by the seller caught. If you dont want to move the country you cant sleep here anymore yeah woman was robbed here yesterday this and someone robbed her of twenty five thousand francs so i spoke with the authorities about the security situation here its not safe in this part of the city the. Security that you dont need to lou has worked for unicef in the Central African republic for years the congo bonder a camp is just one of many in the country she says and things are getting worse. The humanitarian needs are increasing sadly more and more people are under attack are i. D. P. s we are now we have six hundred thousand people who are internally displaced within the country which is what it was at the peak of the crisis in twenty fourteen so theres still a lot to do among the refugees tens of thousands of children who were taken up by armed groups the un is trying to liberate as many as possible from the warlords and rebels but many struggle to reintegrate into society. Many of the girls were kept for years as sex slaves. For me so i wont be where i was twelve and lived in bangor from them was an armed group and forced me to go with them. Since then ive lived around here im seventeen now thats it was terrible. Dont do you know its a huge i saw and did the most awful things as a single life i had all those years i knew it was no life at all. As i say hes an easy for me im gone. Theres no safe haven for children in this environment of violence. At least theres a playground in the camp but the legacy of war is unmistakable even here. Sometimes are killed spends time with other children in the camp in the afternoon. But nothing is like it used to be. You know i look up to you. And i have a good life in my village i had lots of friends we had a lot of fun together. We had School Lessons under the big tree in the evenings we saying and danced in the moonlight but thats all gone. So you know many of my friends are dead. And the others are in refugee camps. To see and are killed share a similar fate and they now face a highly uncertain future. And as it stands now a peaceful solution between the warring parties seems unlikely. The Central African republic has a population of just five million but a total area almost twice the size of germany which should make it an ideal place for wild animals to thrive from congo ban doro our reporter youre going to traveled further south to those anger special reserve there you met activists who are doing all they can to keep the native wildlife from being wiped out. Its relatively tranquil and the rain forest in the south of the Central African republic that hasnt always been the case but the war has shifted to other regions now guerrilla expert terence food was one of the few people who remained in after the area was overrun in twenty thirteen. I never thought he had alluded to put excited. There with him which as i confirmed he done and succeeded to get here went by way for escaping and kitted out of the five funds unless it is all just faceless just because of. The unique wildlife and is still thriving thanks in part to generous Financial Support particularly from germany. Some two thousand gorillas still live in the park for the most part undisturbed. Is a source of income for the population. We have a staff of sixty people. In this more traditional days and sixty people stephanie sixty. Six she did i think until she turned. So i think that the people of the benefits. More than twelve hundred Wild Elephants also living. In the middle of the rain forest is a clearing the animals are attracted to the mineral salts in the soil. For the past year luis out on has been working here for the World Wildlife fund for nature hes had many years of experience dealing with Nature Conservation in crisis regions. Elephants are a favorite target for poachers. The animals and the clearing are restless. Why dont i please without the to take part but if they think its a tough call i party. Stopped. Last year twenty one elephants were killed by poachers thats not many compared to other countries in africa confiscated weapons and tusks are put an authorized storage. Shes one of the biggest because its you know seventeen get over each. One for the fortune. Patterns has spent thirty seven years working as a conservationist in africa and during that time hes observed help elephants are gradually disappearing from the continent. They lasted a fun duffy is here we we out there is of the. Huskiness with all of the we know that and if you do they will come here. To the gate i want to live on so it would have to be really different from that. Even though rangers patrol the work they dont have enough weapons and ammunitions to ward off the professional poachers the situation is similar in the rest of africa. There are. A lot of people and that is depriving the people buying the things that only the elephant had died a lot of people. Did for that. During previous posts in chad and northern congo lost nearly forty employees in the battle against poachers. Destroyed africa. And we have nothing. In our war we are loosing the war and not the noble they want like all night that we are losing the war if we dont do nothing in defeat for the next five ten g. X. Everything will be things. There are still many Wild Elephants in the sangatte clearing. Always the problem with the guns and then when you see everybody say north how do you want to dance. I dont want guns to protect the elephant i want guns the book big people that dont put that daily about these different because they come with guns if. They are going to die.

And they told me their parents didnt have enough money to take really good care of them. That i love and this is. An unconditional basic income has become a hot topic around the world its premise is simple every person regardless of their Employment Status should receive a basic and unconditional wage from the state. And there are already examples citizens of alaska receive annual payouts from a fund financed by the oil industry and the government of ontario in canada is planning its own basic income pilot study in finland such a trial has been up and running for. The sound of the drum has to be adjusted a little before its completely finished you how you had to be in and knows that from experience you hand guards made to order sherman drums one at a time. Right now were trying to make as many drums as possible to earn as much money as i can. But handmade goods always take more time and its not mass production so as a business so it isnt very lucrative next and. You has grateful that hes now allowed to keep the seven hundred euros he charges for each instrument in the past his additional earnings were deducted from his Unemployment Benefits you high as one of two thousand unemployed finns receiving a universal basic income of five hundred sixty euros without restrictions besides making drums the artist says he can now also devote more time to his children and housekeeping. Most nights the rest so i dont have to deal with all that stress anymore before when i was receiving Unemployment Benefits i had to register regularly at the job center yet to prove that i was actively looking for work. On me in. Quite a burden. I mean that in the northern finnish city of old who got kolkata and also receives a basic income hes been out of work for four years after his company shut its offices here the Computer Scientist eventually realised that he was too old for young startups and too long out of the business to be offered a programming position now he wants to be selfemployed the basic income provides him with a safety net. If there are a lot but when i worked in the i. T. Sector salaries were quite good.

Online he set up an internet shop to increase sales in his Small Business your statement of wine if you only want to sit at home on your sofa the basic income allows you to continue to be lazy stop looking for a job. But what if there are more people like me who i want to work and its very motivating me if i want to buy my yacht go is given himself a year to make his chocolate business profitable one thing is clear to him in finland you cant make ends meet with the basic income alone. The finnish government isnt ready to release an interim assessment of the Pilot Program officials want to wait until the trial wraps up at the end of twenty eighteen to say how the two thousand test recipients used the basic income it could play an Important Role in future societies if there are radical changes in the working world. So its unclear how the job market will develop in the future. Its possible that automation could mean there arent enough jobs for everyone and then well have to consider how to overhaul our Social Security system and. You have yet to be men still has big plans and since he began receiving the unconditional basic income his creative drive has blossomed. Together with some friends he wants to buy this vacant Cultural Center they want to call the project are the envy. You got once artists to move in and work at the center hes passionate about his idea but he and his friends dont have the money to turn it into reality yet still he remains optimistic and the model innovations drive the whole world to develop and there should be as many of them as possible you have to have a hundred wild ideas in the end to remain that work and they move us forward that. You have yet to be in in things the basic income is a real innovation. And he believes it would be a shame to get rid of it after the two year trial. There are around one point three billion cars and trucks on our planet but only around two million of them have an electric motor that risk builds to few charging stations in operation plus the cost of the vehicles is too high for many. Nonetheless the number of electric vehicles is forecast to hit forty million by twenty twenty five not soon enough for some of the mood green minded citizens of mexico. Its clear weather but a blanket of smog flies over mexico city five million cars travel through the vast urban center every day even though the bad air is culpable it seems no one here wants to give up driving. The i know so many cars too bad they pollute so much people and why dont you have an electric car. I know youve been really wants to buy one hopefully we can get one soon. Like but theres not enough choice. Their choice grants are. There are too few charging stations but where theres a will theres a way hectored ruiz has packed fourteen batteries under the hood of his converted electric dell beetle and were taking it out for a spin in the corners quiet hum is quickly drowned out as we dive into rush hour in the mexican capital and are engulfed in exhaust fumes. And even had to go to a specialist because i developed an asthma problem because ive been living in such a poisonous city for fifteen years. Who needs an expensive new car that will go two hundred kilometers an hour if you spend most of your time stuck in traffic ruis had his car converted to meet his true needs. He said what kind of a range does your car have. Fifty kilometers. Fifty kilometers thats nothing. Its really not worth it as it. Is worth i never drive more than twenty five or thirty kilometers a day. If he had stronger batteries the electric beetle could go much further but really it doesnt care if. He paid forty five hundred euros for his electric drive did this man i thought oh develop cars the mechanic converts cars with diesel or gasoline engines into electric vehicles a mini like this one requires a lot more Battery Power than the bug deal of hers is self taught. You know what looks like all the others im pretty proud of it. Still upon says converting conventional cars is quick saves resources and costs just a fraction of what a new electric car would cost us isnt a lot to our advantage if we use whats already been made and turned it into something that could still be used but without the negative side effects. It often has a pic of. If the state were to subsidize not just the price of new e cars but also conversions he says everyone could happen electric vehicle for as little as three thousand euros and taylor pas hasnt needed a big lab for testing grounds to make it work. I came across. Here we write down everything we planned and learned so we dont forget a lot of good not going to be that of how to build the batteries. The mechanisms work. How we set them up and we dont look at it may look a otic but its whats going on in our heads. I mean theres no. The fifty eight year old has been experimenting for around a decade his dream making it possible for nearly any driver to convert a car rather than leaving electro mobility to the lucky few who can afford to buy an expensive new model. Beetle drive or head to a true as was initially a customer but now hes turned into a partner those who really want to protect the environment dont have to wait for the car industry to finally come through. And been talking about electric cars since the one nine hundred eighty s. Weve been waiting for decades and then car makers only come out with really expensive cars. I decided to wait and had mine converted instead.
