For to me to lawrence nothing is the same anymore the heart of new york city it still beats but much more slowly than it did before shes been performing on broadway stages for 10 years. But everythings been closed down years since the outbreak of the pandemic kind of this theater now i feel sorry for. Great that i did. That i did before ringback. Whats next for to make up whats next for new york in the city recover from the pandemic. Manhattan times square but theres one place in the world where life never stand still its right here. But now all of this magical place is deserted. Almost. To me go runs into some colleagues by chance theyre also musicians and currently out of work but theyre busy shooting the music video for the internet as superheroes super powers cant hurt right now. That. Their. New york the city where dreams are meant to become reality right now its more like a nightmare from. The borders have been closed for months there are no tourists no shows. And no money. America is faltering and for new yorkers like to mika every day has become a struggle to carry on and be able to remain in the city she made enormous sacrifices to make it to broadway. When i close my eyes and everyone alagiri name i just saw myself once a day so thats where i started to see that coming here it took a lot of discipline so when everybodys like partying in college. You know working teens. Our. It takes some people years to get a broadway gig but. Its her version of the american dream. But the dream is at least for now. Closed because of the coronavirus pandemic and it was recently announced that they will remain closed at least until next june. Is about a black woman living in america during the 1960 s. At the height of the Civil Rights Movement an important topic now just before the president ial election because the u. S. Is more divided today than its been in a very long time into opponents and supporters of president and also in the question of whether black americans are still systematically disadvantage i feel sad and. Partially for me. But also i feel. For people who. Would benefit from. That. I. You know may not understand why people safe. Might want to see this because its just an easy one they dont know what its about and then maybe they can receive something something if i can print it on their heart to understand why people say the things that they say. The coronavirus pandemic is pulling American Society even further apart in new york city alone roughly 24000 people have already died from the virus thanks to strict regulations such as extensive masking the citys been able to keep the virus better in check recently. But the number of infections is slowly rising again and in other parts of the country the situation is much more menacing. Black americans like to me are especially concerned statistically their risk of infection is 3 times higher than that of their fellow white citizens. The pandemic is bringing the deep seated inequality with an American Society back to the surface something that also worries to me a great deal. For home is in the bronx the poorest borrow in new york city. Here to meet has kept busy with her new side job since the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic shes been designing fashion and jewelry with social critical and political messages. A little extra income in these hard times. She puts her finger in the open wounds of American Society with many of her designs. Wants to do her part to make sure that things get back on track in america this is one reason why all her products are made in the usa its important to have stuff made in the us here because it means keeping americans employed because employment leads to Health Coverage needs to less stress hopefully. And. I think that at a time like this its super imperative teen kids think about. This through. Why. Me. Yeah. I. Eat a lot and. Josh also hopes for a better future. He and to me can have been friends since they appeared on a broadway stage together. Josh too lost his job because of the coronavirus but unlike to me he decided to leave new york like so many others. Since the pandemic as you know forced me to. Sustain life here for a lot of people right so i or some letter thats in my place im in california actually staying in my parents mobile didnt make sense to stay here if i didnt have work when the only keeps me here is. The work you know and i mean if im going to be sounds paycheck in the see the outside as well i have someone else pay my rent needs to be here and spend the time with my car that was the main. Now josh is visiting for a few weeks. X. Because he managed to get a couple of small gigs. But the citys not what he remembers. Well. Its a strange feeling because the city is very. Different you know i mean its why are you dont have that some of. The. Folks that are coming in to see photos and you know this varies from all over the world just basically have new yorkers the most part so theres a part of that thats that thats refreshing as a part of that its a little sad but you know i know there were strong. City folk and sure that were going to come back soon im trained on it when she has time to meet also looks in on her neighbors. Today she meets jay in the lobby. To. Both things thank you for. All we read in your life oh ok i have like the devotionals with it too so i have the super bowl for the bushes. To hold just moved. Everybody completed and. Jay has diabetes and his left foot had to be amputated shortly before the pandemic like him a disproportionately high number of black americans suffer from preexisting conditions and are especially at risk during the pandemic. I just thought it physical rehab the more chronic. Kind they make a i was knocked out of rehab because those considered the high risk in the last one still in this chair and i wont. Know this is a daily thing come out getting. Pulled back in. This is what. We just have to keep on going forward. Trying to stay alive. But many werent so lucky. That let the hospital is just around the corner from to me because apartment. She will never forget the weeks when the city was the world wide at the center of the pandemic. Overpass here and. You know semi trucks that were for all the defeat. At the height of that analysis very alarming it was a very scary time the conscious. Sirens going off the streets were very empty it made me feel like it was kind of the end of the world. But it was not yet here. As the number of new cases new york increases so does the fear of a 2nd wave im afraid what will happen because of that im afraid that i wont be able to see my parents because of it or visit them or make sure that theyre ok im afraid that. Everything will close in the entire economy and all the business this wall collapsed because of it i guess im more afraid of the ramifications of power will affect people and then what it will do to. Lawrence is drawn back to times square for many people its the symbol of new york for her its a place full of beautiful memories really here at nighttime to fill for joy yet its nice to know that its not completely empty it. Reminds me of what was i really like that. The fire in feet times square and the fire in city of new york think that something that i was nervous was going to be gone forever but its nice to see that there are no people once upon a time where you know i i think its beautiful. And it just to me to hope that new york and new yorkers will also overcome this crisis somehow. Who. Sees as only seeing his. Feet because of for me online and around champion. But today a german finnish superstar is entering commune raised as an eco investor and hes driving Mickey Truman balcony with his cream tank fast of all. Red. And thats. What keeps us in shape what makes us sick and how do we stay healthy. My name is dr carson the i talk to medical experts. Watch them at work. And they discuss what you can try to clear your head. Stay choose and lets all try to stay good. W. Y z u s is on its way to bring you more conservation plays how do we make signals greener how can we protect habitats we can make a difference globally genius mental series a global signals and on g. W. And all mine. Then well festival kwok. But. We are living during the most extraordinary prime ministry. Of transport will go for the electric good. Image that. Rev the also have admitted it. We met someone in a hurry to make the bin a c. Work better. Than if you discussed the side execute code that. Something good. If you look at. Me 2016 for me in the one shot once to steer us into the green and future. In the mean time what can the car industry do to help bring about change this. Porsche panamera 4 s p hybrid. And the trees look to busy trying to get he can. Say lets get rolling speaking of which whats it like to drive the same taxi for 30 years and thats almost half a 1000000 kilometers on the clock im in love with it doesnt the feel. Like you would take to to prove yes lets find out. This. Porsche panamera 4 s. Easy hybrid and id say lets get roland. So when im driving a hybrid car what im wondering about and probably also all this out there coefficient do these really work. For us the hybrid has an average consumption of 2. 2 with meters per 100 kilometers of course you have to be 18 kilowatt hours go on the record over to offer Electrical Energy to point to that sounds really good and since this has been measured with w p so the new Test Procedure i guess its pretty close to reality but well see in the end. For as she hybrids of course not the only engine option porsche offers for their newest product. Available with the. Bunch of different engines of the 6 and the 8 ones ranging from 302630 horsepower and the top version. For us he hybrid were testing right now has 560 horsepower makes the best from 0 to 100 almost 0 and 3. 7 seconds to 198 kilometers an hour top speed and thats pretty fast i. Mean america is not only fast you can also drive purely on electricity for a bit more than 50 kilometers. Thats especially interesting for getting around the city which could in the distant future possibly be mandatory. For the new model of the systems have all been upgraded so were talking about electronic roll civilization bosch active suspension management and so on and so on in fact all of that feels very good the car is very reactive and curse its goods they even said records on the. Role that. The noble green nordschleife is one of the most famous and most challenging racetracks. What better place to push the u. S. Panamera to its limits. Beyond the wheel is lost can push a test and Development Driver after some final preparation last takes off for the 20. 832 kilometer lap hes not driving a hybrid panamera with the top model the turbo s. Video pilot sport. 630. 00 horsepower 8 cylinder engine propels a call from 0 to 100 Kilometers Per Hour in 3 point one seconds top speed is 315. 00 pm each. Of you set out with an electro mechanical roll stabilization system. Self noticeable with incredible stability in spite of the bumpy track surface. Last completes the lap after exactly 7 minutes 29. 81 seconds setting and you record in the executive cars category. Is fuel consumption this not talk about it. But now lets get back to a more relaxed test drive on countryside roads. How did the panamera forest the hybrid come off concerning fuel consumption after almost 200 kilometers. So ive driven the. Hybrid of all the whole day mostly on countryside roads 70 to 100 kilometers know every speed the computer tells me i have had to believe this fuel consumption on average thats very close to what porsche today and theyre pretty good figure for such a big car. D. V. D. The panamera measures 5 metres in length and we see around 3 times. The panamera so called the book its almost inviting you to take the long trip several hundreds of kilometers but what happens when the battery runs empty. As you can tell. Is empty right now and the average consumption is starting to go slowly but steadily 3. 00 lead is right now i guess were going to get even more of course its still the 6 engine so it would be best to look for a charging spots and then charge the car because its a plug in hybrid so you can plug it in charge the battery and then youll be back growth to go to a consumption but what to do while charging of course one thing you have to check out. When you look at a rolling a living room the back seats and as you can tell this is pretty comfortable for 2 people in the middle there is space for what is called holders phone charger and Everything Else here can also. Used climates here. Thats all pretty luxurious. And also pretty comfortable but almost taken here i mean if you can sleep while youre sitting i cant i would have to go even further. Nothing better than taking a nap in the 1287. 00 leader trunks while waiting for the battery to be recharged. But panamera for a c. Hybrid is a luxury sports limousine that goes very fast and is very comfortable everything about it is high quality so its not exactly surprising that it comes at a price in germany the hybrid porsche will set you back almost 130000 euros. Like to acknowledge the festival that i found the last year is on again so check it out we have a big name buying up as well which im really proud of the new president will get off on the way and google c. E. O. It will festival block this is. Such a good automated he. Must obviously. Be a piece of blue so. He may be very. Big and i mean like i didnt even let. The board up yet but he. Was everything fully under control everythings on the club where women who knew him when he goes back is on the home stretch as his team prepares for the 2020 greentech festival you know. Youve got to have a really fast brain in his brain works like it did when he was racing its so impressive he really does inject a lot of pace to proceeding with. The speed on the Business World and the Business World doesnt make decisions it doesnt execute you know its all day long and in f one if you do. You are youre gone you will not win you need to be. Executed go next one and it is something that i bring to the business well. The former master of the track has found a new goal to pursue. His numbers went out of control in the strange machine your body will go to look for. The. Check is a different kind of festival focused on sustainability it was founded by nico rosberg who has made the environment his new mission in life since retiring from motor sports. An exclusive access as we accompanied him during this years 3 day exhibition in berlin. On the 1st morning the former formula one driver felt an excitement not like being back on the grid again. It was so intense waking up in the morning the adrenaline and i was thinking about exactly that this morning. When i was having my breakfast and there was some similar sensations of course im nervous yeah because its a big big thing and the strange thing in the event business is youre working for 12 months the whole year and then it comes down to 2 days i mean its like the olympics where everything just you know youre training for 4 years and it comes down to one day. The 1st part of my legacy was being a sporting champion but now in my 2nd part of my legacy which is equally important i really want to do something where where i contribute and i love to inspire my 2 kids on a similar path of doing good for society and at the same time also this change in mobility has such a positive impact so this is a very decisive decade and i want to play my role i want to play my part in and get involved. In extraordinary circumstances call for extraordinary ideas and extreme commitment and the organizers came up with a con. Cept for the coronavirus prices physical attendance was strictly limited but over 1000000. 00 people including a former German Foreign minister tuned in to green tech online. Where almost the only event was going to happen because of us being you know people are so supportive of of continuing to take care of the environment because weve noticed in corona how fragile we are as a society and so i think weve grown together and all our partners you know they hate please come on we need this try to make it happen. And celebrities tuned in from around the world to help make it happen. Singer songwriter sting performed a rendition of his haunting hits fragile now referencing the vulnerability of humankind and the planet we inhabit. Will flourish in steel. Evolution. Like to extend my sincere thanks to nico rosberg for this excellent initiative. Robert redford provided his own perspective on environmental degradation people who were out of control in los angeles became more gold rush. So soon i just felt like the city that i love with the was like a method pulled out from under my. European Union President was about to lie and also use the pop form we need you to innovate to liberate that creativity to stimulate society. Prospect personally recruited these like minds for the good cause behind the green tech festival its always personal its always me writing myself because thats the thats the way it works and i have another fine example for Robert Robert redford. Those are the hell are you. For i had to back to have a little bit had to explain again for me to drive fast in a circle you know i used to be the best and now i switch. Fighting for our environment busy. And then you know they all love it yes. This is. Tony 16 so he can respect become formula one World Champion. In 2010 he had signed to the mercedes team. For the 1st 3 years racing alongside the legendary michel schumacher. Before Lewis Hamilton joined the team. Over the next 4 years he and his old friends from go karting days would be team mates. And rival for the crew. Its quite a cool thing that i can say then that ive beat over at least the course of one season to 7 time World Champions in the same car its quite cool not everybody can say that at least. A generation which usually makes its way. Those boyhood dreams of future glory were no coincidence being the sign kicker were spared who was World Champion in 1982. And the finnish rider would often take little nico along to the races. My dad was very supportive in my whole career my mum never saw a single race of mine because she was so scared but my father supported me all along i was very smart because you know having a proud father whos done
