This week. What do you think, should we go for a ride . I think we should. Lets go. Alasdair keane strapped into a truck with a difference. But how hard is it to power a 40 tonner by battery . You can start with lots of robots. It is quite mesmerising to watch. Love a robot. I know you do. Plus from ten wheels to do but how about a scooter powered by gas . We have also been overrun by rats this week, but ai has a solution in its sights. And there is something weird lurking in the water. Hey those are my toes you are talking about, and they were freezing. If you leave them in their long enough they will become numb. The real story here is we are exploring the depths by robots. The world of transport wants to go electric, but some vehicles are easier to electrify than others. While the Tech World is going mad for electric cars, biggervehicles are proving more difficult. The bigger and heavier they are, the bigger and heavier the batteries need to be. More than a quarter of Greenhouse Gas

Fawzia koofi, welcome to hardtalk. Thank you for having me. It s a great pleasure to have you in the hardtalk studio. It is now three years since taliban rule was restored in afghanistan. They have just passed a raft of new so called vice and virtue measures in kabul. Tell me about the impact of those measures, as you see it. You have put it very rightly after the, you know, three years since the taliban regime was restored. This is the right way to put it, because many people think, say, um, three years since the taliban victory, since they have taken power. Ijust believe it s three years since afghanistan was handed over to taliban because of the moral defeat by all of us, especially international community. Now, the new law. . .

Its a great pleasure
