About on todays show it started for me by learning the word for square all i can it sounds ugly doesnt it and such a cute creature i also had to learn the culture there that took even longer but that was when i integrated and finally understood the germans as well as their language from a very different perspective if saudi arabia wants to understand the rest of the world and profit from our interconnected Global Community its going to have to make some big change its not just cosmetic ones like opening cinemas and allowing women to drive allowing women into the workforce is a huge step and will prove a massive economic stimulus they all depended saudis have been trying to wean themselves off crude production for a while now with Oil Prices Still relatively low introducing reforms bit by bit moving away from their very cushy welfare state but theyre in for a bumpy ride reports. How do you put on a hat scarf its my first time in saudi arabia in riyadh wearing a headscarf is mandatory its a tie off its the thirty five degree sell side is it youve got to just do that right yeah yeah because its really you know its really hard. This is go work a Recruitment Company for saudi women. There is no gender in socks as it says right here at work but the strict segregation of gender is one of the Biggest Challenges to overcome even here at a global it females can not mix with the opposite sex you see here and in one room and women are separated in another room. The founder of go work tells me separate places are set up for women to respect their privacy but he sounds great her interaction would actually improve the output the only thing lacking is the social barrier of the communication gap between men and women once thats over then well start seeing more integration of women into the labor market the agency is defer stopped for International Visitors wanting to be women here probably name some foreign politicians this is frank. Came to our office two years we have done mccain senator the agency connects saudi women with a Retail Consulting or Manufacturing Company and it wants to re brand the image of saudi women. Living abroad and says that shes suppressed and if she cares about her country she would come back and do something about it because today is a time for change my hollis mana wants to be part of that change shes one of the few willing to show her face on camera something thats traditionally considered indecent shes twenty four and in turn studying marketing i think its difficult for everyone whether theyre female or male so im. Its just because very new to this and were trying to find jobs its icky i mean its its the same i think i dont think there is much difference but there is one third of working age saudi women are an employee thats nearly six times higher than the Unemployment Rate among men the country cant afford that saudi arabias sudden focus on women in spa to beijing twenty thirty a government plan to create jobs in the private sector and diversify the economy it can no longer rely on oil revenues alone prices and demand are more top sudden rebiya needs to tap into new sectors like the Service Industry tourism and took knology im now in jeddah a city on the coast less conservative than riyadh its more open to change here i can take off my headscarf progress in saudi arabia tends to happen here first take this taxi company for example it wants to hire female drivers though the battle of women driving hasnt even been lifted yet i feel that the change has been happening too fast that no one is actually believing it you know and what used to be like a turbo on no no in the past is now just. Legal and just life so far every driver here is male as of july women will finally be allowed to drive themselves. At the beginning are you still a get a lot of. Concerns from odd make out like are we going to shut down you know. You know seventy percent of our Customer Base id woman i dont think that this woman driving would really impact the healing industry in saudi its floor she everywhere but segregation is miserable even in this elevator for women only its a question of decency unmarried women are not supposed to mix with men. On the way to my next stop of course im not allowed to drive in saudi arabia a womans independence depends largely on her male guardians willingness to relinquish control and my driver doesnt mind that women will soon be allowed to drive. Why. Its a good thing its their decision if they want to drive. Maybe they need money would like to work as a driver. While travelling through the kingdom i sense a lot of euphoria among women pursuing independence and greater self determination. This is seventeen year old north she wants to become a pilot one day for now shes working in a food truck her father encourages her to make her own money and being independent i. Dont know how do you think about the future for women in saudi arabia. To include the future will be good it will be more equal between men and women going to and women will be able to develop more than men. Theyve started to do some really good things for women they gain me in this up. To. Listen to some music you like. Or a strange feel like you dont know yet listening to music in public thats also new in saudi arabia its only when the camera is off that these women dared to tell me that their level of Freedom Still depends on their male chaperons. Another nation undergoing Economic Reforms is morocco a country wedged between two continents africa and europe its hard pleasing both but as a key crossing point morocco is crucial in controlling the stream of migrants from other parts of africa trying to reach europe to start a better life some escaping political unrest war economic downturns for moroccans finding a job at home can also be a struggle even with skills which is where Occupational Training can play a part. In general its really hard to find a job in the whole of the soviet union like to be very useful. Like because well for telling different people young people and help them if its not a lifetime job or something it will give them more experience of the really work. Because a moroccan term for bicycle and also the name of this project which has been going on for two years now bikes are giving young people your opportunities reading. Is twenty two she studies english just like some of us here theyve been working part time if you call it for around twelve months to do so you have to know bikes everyone here speaks english combining the skills i want to impose my accent and my my languages and also like to like like to learn something about u. K. The project is based in the heart of historic mara cash. Cunto from the netherlands set up the social project she views bikes as a great way to get where youre going in every sense. Sixty five percent of the population is on the d. H. Of thirty one years old and theres a big number of youth that is unemployed and theres also like on education so what we really try to do is get them involved theyre physically very strong theyre active the bust was very sensible for this group of people and we want to create jobs and Education Opportunities related. To the bike and that is really corresponds with the end and the spirit of young people. Is taking part in the project for another reason as well. You know how to deal with people with it or especially because this is late to a sick city you know what to do with them to talk to them so it will help you not only think about outside. America she is a popular Tourist Destination but many visitors to the city tend to explore it by horse and carriage on the list of must see sights the famous german if not square in the medina. The condo wants to get those tourists out and about with an attraction that mara cash has rarely offered before bike tours. Some classical and the other guides here show there are groups all the best known landmarks but also a side of the city theyd otherwise never see and thats drawing more and more fans. Take their charges into the hustle and bustle of america to places where killer edges and taxis never com. They relate stories of daily life that dont appear in guidebooks and bring them to some unusual locations. Like this typical bakery which bakes the bread for the entire neighborhood its a. Great place to just sit and gossip for a while. Until now become a has received aid from the foundation but in the future the project organizers hope it will become so if supporting. The bike tours are growing increasingly popular. In two thousand and seventeen when we just do we tours it was very like wed just like like we have so theres a tree for the whole week but nowadays we start like i think thats going very well. Thanks for everyone who like. To be in disposition. And the bike enthusiastic sworn to pass on the idea other cities have already asked to pick on a to set up programs they are as well. The success shows its worth pursuing new ideas. For hearing. From bicycle tours of america female taxi drivers in saudi arabia to cruising the oceans of our planet but without leaving such a smelly Carbon Footprint behind if youve been on them before those cruise line is belting out a heap of smoke its something the head of businessman weathercast the claridge confronted the boss of the Tour Operator to eat with they met up in the german capital. The Brandenburg Gate in berlin an ideal backdrop for selfies and group shots a third of the visitors here are international tourists. In the you wonder who the million visitors descend on berlin every year so many fly here from the u. S. And from asia and they make their way here to perrys a plan to see the Brandenburg Gate this is also home to. Europes largest tourism agency. Isnt tourism on such a mass scale harmful to the environment. Mr alibek to is of course a Tourism Company so when did you last take a vacation. The last real holiday was last year when i took a cruise. It was wonderful im a big fan of christmas. Youre also chief environmental officer were you constantly thinking about that on your cruise checking if everything met the green standards youd expect them to eat. Sustainability plays a major role in the holiday experience and of course and planning. Looking at our cruise ships today we have the most modern fleet in the industry. Called into a ranking by the german conservation n. G. O. S. Are the most environmentally friendly in the industry they filter more toxic substances during combustion competitors how fact lloyd and aida even so to you and he receives one point five out of four points on their environmental ranking. Do you think that customers are concerned whether a company is green or at least attempting to be environmentally friendly. Price play a greater role. I think sustainability is important to people from most western countries thats a philosophy we take with us to our destination of. Immigration it was clearly identified as such. But honestly wouldnt it be better if people didnt go on holiday if they stayed home and hung out on the balcony wouldnt that be best for the environment. No i dont think that at all. Tourism is one of the most important sources of income for many countries in the world. Its vital of course that we work closely with destination countries. Theres a great example of. Farmers there are now being helped to grow produce sustainably which has given rise to the development of cooperatives. So thats the result is that they produce enough wine and all of oil to supply the hotels. And this is a great example of marrying environmental sustainability and social responsibility to support the local economy. Critics say thats green washing that an industry of this scale with mass to resume huge hotels high water consumption garbage cant be environmentally friendly what would you say. These are just buys words greenwashing as a buzz word i think mass tourism is to in todays world there are no masses anymore its all about individuals but on a large scale these days its not about massive holiday resorts and mass tourism. There may be less mass tourism now but that hasnt affected the overall numbers since one thousand nine hundred. The Tourism Industry is responsible for close to one tenth of global c o two emissions. Do people really need to travel all over the place. In a world with so much chaos and political discord and i think its a good thing that people are traveling and taking an interest in other cultures other countries want to get a firsthand impression. And look for shuffle. Talking about traveling easily is a place i could go to every summer the climates food the people the languages music to my is actually a lot of germans do go there every year my extended family here does the german chancellor is a big fan and there is a flourishing startup scene around seven thousand eight hundred of them have sprung up over the past few years mostly in milan although entrepreneurs complain about bureaucracy in getting their hands on capital thanks to the wobbly italian banks theyre also worried about developments in rome where a new government is set on increasing welfare spending despite high state it time for some shopping there. So now im entering the store. Material esposito develops Virtual Reality software for retailers his company is based in milan italy a country he says isnt up to speed in all respects you know immediately when you are talking about food facial and design all is ok when youre talking about technology. Is different esposito says the internet is too slow and the red tape too cumbersome and there are other problems as well in the world banks ease of doing business and backs italy ranks forty sixth behind romania it can also be a challenge to raise capital in italy maybe we dont have these and tertiary colleges are now and so if you want to do technology maybe you need the great investments and here the taxation is high and its difficult to to raise findings and so maybe counters that are more profitable more of them more easy then the that is the financial crisis took a heavy toll on italys economy which is still struggling last year it posted one and a half percent growth far below the e. U. Average the gap between rich and poor has grown. Steadily know has a new euro skeptic government many are frustrated and feel the e. U. Has forgotten them but there is one bright spot start ups especially in milan its italys financial and Industrial Capital and home to some four thousand five hundred startups milan is also the birthplace of one of europes leading online Wealth Management firms money farm it was set up in two thousand and eleven. Cofounder paolo got a funny raise twenty five Million Euros of Venture Capital though not all of it in italy. Our ambition always being to become a european player so. When we started we started in italy but then of course the move to long was in some way needed for a series of elements or a lack of capital for instance. Looking for capital to scale the combine it was. Was basically the only way of making it it was was so u. K. But gov honey says doing business in italy is no better than it used to be the previous government changed the countrys labor laws to make it easier to set up Innovative Companies and he says milan is at the forefront. And he is becoming more kind of an examples that the rest of you to least trying to just like. In that direction so. I perceive me. As a more as a leader rather than called back by the overall situation. Italys Economic Future will also depend on which reforms the new government introduces its pledge to lower taxes raise Welfare Benefits and reduce the retirement age but there is little concrete help for young entrepreneurs and yet thats urgently needed around a third of young people in italy are unemployed. Businessmen mattio esposito believes in technology with a made in italy label. The system developed by esposito and his team of fifteen has made it to market even though conditions for start ups may not be optimal. The United States cant meet in twenty four hours when i can have a yes or nor in two days and here maybe i take weeks or months or so i see this gap. But i dont feel stuck in the here. Im proud to be here. Milan startups could send a signal to the rest of the country that its still possible to achieve success in italy all you need is the right ideas to create new opportunities. And talking about new opportunities the video Game Industry is funny asking where all the women are the gap is shrinking Game Developers realizing close to half their customers are females plus its a multi billion dollar Business Time to cash in on the craze is christina. Muscle that more than one hundred billion dollars a year thats how much the videoGame Industry is worth world why and then. In the world of video games is a world made by men. I just thought of a musclebound of characters of somebody as this was not in evidence but i guess it is in the roles that all male that one but the industry isnt stupid after all women and girls play to. Put up with it as a rule that women feature either as victims and supporting roles or as villains but thats my niece and thats always done to look dress. The way it is desirable that theres that this illusion. Is there stored in the Games Industry only one in five developers is a woman although that number is increasing every year and so should women seek to change the stereotypes or create a parallel gaming world for women that are so. I talk to turkish games producers see my dean the founder of women in gangs choky how. It would get more women into this industry new role models just say hey just i did it and you can make it you can take your discipline and make great games into the world and you can use your local culture and you can make a Global Impact why did you decide to work in the Games Industry i was started gaming like when i was five depressed up the percy i was really really good gamer and after that the game boy to your knowledge do. Other of things and of course my mom told me that i have to quit and because im like that and thats a good role model to my abroad so i after many years i graduated from business and the situation in establishing our city and i traveled almost charted countries then i came back to turkey my brother was a fumes arik there. And you start to produce. Cinema you start to produce movies but to me you werent happy at all because our passion was in the gaming industry and that ok lets do the more beilby and lets do the lets take the cinema into the mob wild game you told us only twenty two percent of women are working in the game so development what is it was that opposite effect seventy five per cent of women were inside the r. Rating though of the story wars for his dog head dog me mad about me just really rating those days are not dating like before december five persons but they are waiting for to be killed in this industry because as you see that when you look at the games there are used to like hardcore games like the war. Fighting but random woman is entering in this game day i want to focus on the educational problems they want to use they are against in the high School Universities they want to like use their local cost true for the Global Impact i believe they are impact is like a tremendous balloon it will be at two in one swoop in the future economy six years many gamers are sexist mind and racist a big industry clearly has a problem women part of the solution i certainly think they can help but not what do you think so i was with you again this just games thats what i want exaggeration the problem.
