8:30 pm
these and said it's not necessarily as far right, but they feel issues like immigration, security, cost of living is not addressed as they should be by the current government or president government. and they feel they might try a policies different, have a try before, and then you have this block on the far left or in center left. it was different wings within this block. and, and, and i think for most of them is still good still issues a traditional to the left bald, his social justice. but also blocking the far right, dig, getting into power. and then you have the sense of body. and it's the, the earlier my called photos who wanted someone with a nibble, a stable majority, and a stable economy. and they said, i wanted to get your take on something that was said today on the other side of the
8:31 pm
atlantic. i'm us president joe biden, who we know there is now a momentum for him to step down and not run for a 2nd term, which he says he's, he's, he's not going to do that. he's gonna stay in the race. but today he said that americans will be likes the french and will vote against extremism of you know, is that what we sort of happened in this election yesterday? where the french successfully saying no to extreme is a i think, i think that's what we saw. you know, 2 boys, right? we're seeing that the far right is rising. but on the other hand, what we could take away from yesterday's, the result is also that many, many people here don't want a fall, right? government. and that, that many people here in front who want an alternative that they feed, they can invite for. and one good news, you know, during these past 3 weeks, was that the, that the list actually,
8:32 pm
the less taught to use less spring policies came together. incredibly foss. yeah. such a base it, you know, may maybe lose coalition, but they came to an agreement and created some kind of projects that school needs to be find to. they still need to come together then and see if they can work together in the long run. but there is this similar of hope for many people here that this might be the beginning of a new or turn this to on the center list, given that am on my call for many here is no longer a no charge, just because he's going to come just so unpopular after a 7 years in power. what it so let's assume that this left is alliance. let's assume that they are able to make 2 things happen. they were able to come together receive, but we're not expecting to get a good performance in this election. let's say that they're able to get organized and become a force to be reckoned with inside parliament. what would that look like? what, what type of policy decisions would you expect to be reporting on in the next?
8:33 pm
let's say 2 years. that's what i think it's quite unlikely that the most drastic measures will be put to implies, such as, you know, bringing the retirement age back from $64.00, the minimum or terminate from 64 to 6 feet. remember that, and my, my call pushed through this very controversial pension reform to, to increase the minimum retirement age from 60 to 64. that is unlikely to happen because that would be no consensus for that. that might be other measures that might be pushed through, for example, increasing the minimum wage or, you know, taking measures to give people some money, increase the purchasing power or something they seem to agree on as well. so renewable energy, for example, you know, push for more offshore, wind farms on show wind farms to be constructed that is common ground that can be found. the question is obviously how they will find on the measures. now the less
8:34 pm
is pleading for higher taxes for rich people, right? and, you know, i don't know if this center will agree or not. so that is obviously still lots to, to, you know, a lot of, you know, coming, drawn to find. but maybe there is a beginning, there least let me just ask you, read, we got to comment from if you were, i'm this does the, i hope i'm getting this right. i'm doing my uh, and wrote compromise is not part of french political culture. that's why the 5th republic was built. the 4th republic was a constant. s h i t storm. what do you say to that? a lot of that's true. and that's actually also what i, what i set 2 upon my parents today who met to the national assembly. i told them, you know, you're not really good at this, i, you a, but they also, they seem to be aware that there is some leeway and that they have to wiggle through and maybe find a way to talk to each other. you know, as you said, it's not really in the, you know, it's, it's not what the french know me to do. you know, we know everybody knows that in france, but many strikes bethel so,
8:35 pm
or many of them demonstrations almost every day. there's a demonstration somewhere in front me, i'm not is because they 1st actually complain and demonstrate before coming to the negotiating table. so maybe they need to revisit that method, especially when you face a tongue parliament that could block the country for months, even years. we've had another question coming from a viewer of coverline of elaina. she is asking how much power would a new prime minister have? i mean, would they have a lot of influence on the parliament to about a member where that change? i mean, the role of the prime minister would not change, would it or would it wouldn't, it might change. and if we, if we come to a situation where a prime minister is actually um, designated by the parliament and, and really the results of negotiations. and he or she wouldn't be in
8:36 pm
a position to not only pass through a pallet, you know, this particular agenda if, if they have the majority, but also to have some weight against the present the president. i think what, what, what we used to do to having phones is a i takes over the last year is was amended and back home. but also under nicholas equis. he is a president, a very vertical sort of president, you know, and was a prime minister ending, exaggerating the orders in a way of the presidents. and the chance if you look at it positive, is that you may, if we, if you're lucky, you have a prime minister being designated by positives and, and having a really some sort of power in front of the president. but that's the, that's the not, yeah, that would be a major overhaul of the system. right. it would be a change and it been a citizen,
8:37 pm
the, we're entering a new era and it might be the chance all the the it so it's not very nice, 0 is high, but it's it may also end up in a way where the punishment has follow po, and it's used to have what, what do you say at least it is. do you see that also happening? i think that's yes, that's very likely to happen. if you look at the french constitution, you know, it's not that clear cut. it's not like the president has a little the power that's just french tradition, but actually it's the prime minister here is in charge of domestic policies. so it might be that the present and my call needs to make more compromise is not decided by himself as he likes to do over the past 7 years. to make this work with this on parliament we've, we've got the economy coming in at least um, from a viewer named reinhart 98. i mean he says that the center and right wing got
8:38 pm
75 percent of the vote. the left got just 25 percent. they do not represent france . what do you say to this? well, they have got more seats and pop. while i say that they, they've got more seats. you know, when you look at the different blocks, that's really what counts. the biggest block is last spring lines and they need to be at the negotiating table. we said earlier that they don't have a majority. they don't have an absolute majority about the as of others. so either and it's very unlikely that we'll see the far right national radi work together with the center. so, you know, you need to find a coalition of some kind of lose watching corp, if with base to walk out on this top walk out between the far right and many others . i mean, people said earlier that some of the republican upon them and tyrants might go to jail joining the far right. but i'm quite sure what these, at least right now. no,
8:39 pm
no one from the left and very, very few people from the center withdrawing them. but i wouldn't be able to make it work. what about this claim? it? and i think if i'm not, if i'm understanding the comic correctly here to be, it's one person one vote. that's what seems to be missing and all of this that because of this tech tactics that were being used for the 2nd round, a voting you got the result that maybe does not reflect what the, the absolute numbers would reflect. i mean, the, you see the frustration building in france as a result of that and people, people start saying my boat doesn't count as well. absolutely. that's been lots of discussion over this over the past 2 years. and even president my call said that he would change the voting system. he would, he was talking about a constitutional reform, for example, to change. you know, the baiting system, the 2 round voting system for legislative elections, or even regional elections. we have the system that, you know, the,
8:40 pm
the candidate that comes 1st and the 1st or i can still be kicked out in the 2nd round if the other parties join forces and, and at the base. talk about that to change that i think it was also put in place in the 1st place to block the fall right from coming to power. but they're certainly, you know, a momentum grading for, for changing these rules. yeah. the, but what, what do you say? i mean this, this alliance building to build a bulwark against the far right, the work to your but could one of the, i guess the consequences of this maybe not anticipated would be that you would have increased frustration and voters, you feel like their votes don't really mean the same, it depends on which party, i mean, it depends on which alliance my party is in one person, one vote is just doesn't hold water anymore. eventually there will be a 1st question among the for production. and i'm not only among the national around the voters who definitely feel the victory may have been stolen,
8:41 pm
but also within all their positives, i mean you, depending on the results of the, of the correlation negotiations. shortly some voters win win for you. they voted for candidate, but this candidate who said to pledge to, to increase the minimum wage will, you know, and can you to suppress the, the, the pension reform. and that's might not happen. i mean, these voters, we also feel that somehow misled and confused in deceit, but that's the price to pay even though that's, that's a lot of democracy going on life. and so there's no other way. were you surprised at how quickly all of this this, this alliance came together? i mean, when we, when we cover us politics, for example,
8:42 pm
we talking about the presidential election at last and seeming like for ever. here we had 3 weeks to put a campaign together, run a campaign, and then let the voters decide, maybe we've got results of that could be, you know, epic does this. does it surprise you that it can happen so quickly? yes, i think it surprised many people and even the manager and my coins have because one part of his, of his gambles was that the left wing bodies wouldn't unite then. it would then take the bleaching and expected right and completely unexpected. and then what, what the date was it within 4 days the periods this book and overcame the divisions which we don't know yet is whether this unity will stay or whether they might, again devise. and so we've, we've got about a minute left. let me ask you, i'm gonna ask lisa to see about the one biggest take away from this selection. i
8:43 pm
really that we're entering into a very uncharted territory. ok, hopefully we've got a good navigation system lisa from you one big take away a while. i think a big wave of salt 1st and then it's a mirror of hope and may be good times a head. let's take a guess. yes. right. so let's think of the olympics at least in the, in the meantime, lisa low in paris, people let alone hear the big table to both of you. thank you very much. and we want to thank you for sharing your insights, your questions, especially those use any questions. thank you for participating in for making asked the w a platform for dialogue and understanding. we hope it was interesting for us . it was for us, i'm for a golf. i will be back at the top of the hour with more world news and don't forget you can get over the latest news and information around the clock on our website, dw, dot com for all of us here in berlin. and thanks for the company, we will see you next time.
8:44 pm
the
8:45 pm
dream of resolution in 1979, the hate to dictate to somoza was forced out of the people hoped for sarah's society. i received international solidarity. i imagined we would change the world and for 1000 collins had to help with reconstruction, but the end nicaragua,
8:46 pm
a dream of revolution. july 20th on d, w. the. the best throughout the world. isaac finds on the southern. i flew in this electric plain, whose journey you could argue, started in 1883. that was the 1st electric aircraft that episode, or on the 20 us before the right products. along the line of funny and useful aircraft scheme, often including unmanned aerial vehicles in proteins and let the father to day, oh my god, this is a 1st floor to find a plane to fly electric and it was right. the dozens of projects around the world, and now figuring out how to finally make electric aviation reality and some of the speed of downright splunk. that convinced the time has come. some companies already settings tickets. the silent, cheap to operate and potentially up to 90 percent more efficient than jets you with
8:47 pm
across an 8 plans are just but as you can see here, it's really easy to get caught up and all the hype, they've never really worked at security before. so i'm in northeast and sweden to find out why all not flying electric gaps. it won't surprise you to hear that how we fly to they needs to change issue and makes up for on 3 percent of global admissions. and okay, that really doesn't sound so bad, but by 2050, that numbers projected to rise to over 8 times. but, and there are no real ways to fly pollution. 3 is why are you what is the most promising solution? so a vision, pollution of biofuels, a more broadly sustainable aviation fuels. they're mostly made from non petroleum products like bio mass. so out again, you can basically just swap the fossil fuels in here for biofuels or make a blend. but we need so much of it. the scaling up is very hot and the land could be used for other purposes, like cooling fluids of saving far. and then there's also hydrogen that shrink from
8:48 pm
this, especially hydrogen made sustainably, a lot of prototypes are being tested. electric plans are thought of some of the can make a really compelling case up here where we now have we, we run off hydro power or wind power. so then to consider we have is, is sustainable and renewable. so for us that's, that's the demo sustainable. we can do right now for the, for us, this is you on know, but as going to of ation and one of the only people flying airplanes every day. when an a v, as in school in sweden, where future pilots are being changed and flying electric lands we, we want to sort of me the industry into something new. and so that it's possible to find new products with high quality and, and bought in a sustainable way. i mean, and so i'm quite confident that it's going to happen. i mean, i feel confident that way. then i'm an electrical engineer as well as one major difference compared to maybe 10 years ago with stuff there is proper money being
8:49 pm
put into. that's because if we get a electric engine side, we win the efficiency game. electric engine is going to be 3 times more efficient than those that he was supposed to be sales. and of course they don't degrade the equity during operation. the business for the bell as they fly here, it doesn't mean much electricity. it takes around an hour and a half to charge on which is been 545 minutes. but the result of 30 percent patchy is mostly used for pilot training or private key. she left the airport has a one mega what charging station, which isn't enough to judge a small fleet of electric plans at the same time. so i get faster tough to get in. so ask 1st, it's easier. i'm ready, correct. i've got the
8:50 pm
fast this is a super light plane, but it can only go to people with no have luggage to go any go eat plans of fish with a big problem. heavy batteries, even though they've been a lot of advancements and thought cheese, we actually haven't come that far because it's actually for cause roughly for an electric chevrolet book to drive the distance. a honda civic. good on a full deck with you, with the battery would need to be 17 times heavier and cost to stay on the ground. so the weight doesn't not have so much. but for boeing, 747, to fly from london to istanbul. batteries will need to be this much heavier than a full time. this just going to work, since this wouldn't be 10 times heavier than the heaviest payload ever lifted. when you're storing energy, you need a very high level of energy density. that's good, gary, head of the apples program of the u. s. department of energy use national renewable energy lab and petroleum and petroleum related products or petroleum drive products
8:51 pm
like biofuels have a really high energy density when compared to the energy density of traditional fuel batteries, they have very poorly coming in at only 2 percent. but conventional aircraft to be flying today i've been is for just use it all started with the design off. and the 1950s, they mean propeller plans, the most popular at the time until by an engine looks like this. the performance characteristics between those 2 aircraft where the turban was slightly faster, but it could go as far. and, you know, you've got marginal gains by doing that. and then 5 years later, they figured out for different sizes for different configurations, all of a sudden it makes sense to use these because of know how like you can make a service. overtime, visto by an or cuban wing design became vastly more efficient. okay? we know if the race, today's deadline has been almost 50 percent less fuel. both bathrooms are kilometer than they did 50 years old. but they have
8:52 pm
a better engines improve ero dynamics and a lot of other open, invisible changes. but the thing is, this design has peaked in the way it's very hard to become more carbon efficient unless you squeeze even more people onto already very died plans. so governments and many of the industrial going back to the drawing board to redesign in another 1950 style design of it's a really, really interesting time in that sense because things are up for grabs. again, this is done, but any of you as an expert who looked at on the ground infrastructure to support the transition by working together with detroit. but we looked at 2 main modes of operation for doing that one, which was a battery charging system. so where the battery would remain fixed within the craft, you would plug it in as if you would like a normal device. you would just charge it. this would be the simplest way operationally speaking, but they also found that charging would waste precious time when current air
8:53 pm
traffic relies on a quick down around bands. what, okay, by limited space in the airport and of course the amount of power needed would take away significantly from the city's grid. the 2nd sort of mode of operation we looked at was a battery swapping system. and that would be where you would have pre charged with x rays. and then when an across came in, you would remove the battery from the frame and then swap it with one that had already been pre charged. this would save space and time, but it would require a lot of specialization, which we currently don't have anywhere. and it wouldn't be a big risk. meddling with an airframe is always dangerous. and there's also the major risk of files from holding so many batteries in one place, a site of the 2 systems we, we favored the battery charging system. but we were very aware of the potential limitations, but that could price. so not easy. the now i mean you can find if you want. so what do i do
8:54 pm
if you want to know if it go down for cystic forward, if you want to expect those 2 points, 50 shows what the 1st plans to be certified. but this is another huge shot and ition has compared to the cause being certified for safety. so everything takes time for r and d testing and coding for battery safety and the use long certification process. but this january the yorba in solomon bush with the idea of more e plans for shot and mid range flights. this is part of a while ago to got 90 percent of emissions from transport by 2050. all right. thank you. all those crazy sit on the equity. okay. and the company doesn't mean that the district is now working on a full cedar plan and the already big ones, a plane called alice secretary 9 passenger. the dooku members seem to be close to commercialization, promising to fly around 400 kilometers hot aerospace and sweden has a proof of concept aircraft that looks like 25 passengers up to 800 kilometers by
8:55 pm
2026. when you look at, if you think about their existing cargo routes that use small aircraft, their existing communities, that they're only connection is a, as a 9 senior crap unless they take a ferry for or 6 hours type of situation. and those are real existing route that have to be either subsidized or paid for by by communities. this is the main application so far, and it is significant. and 2020, the us spent $326000000.00 to subsidize the costs of across the smaller apples. the don't see a profit ambulances at the axis. and small cargo plans also need only smaller across the child has or the 12 plans for low emissions postal deliveries which can help local noise and quality too. but let's put this all in perspective. ready with everything that electrification can do now, based on current patrick check and operational challenges, a study by the international center on team evaluation estimates. the electric
8:56 pm
aircraft could cover 9 percent of the coming to markets. that slides with more than 19 passengers and distance is shorter than 500 kilometers. but this only accounts for 0.002 percent of global deviation. by 2050, the estimated could be up to 0.2 percent, which is still small. what am i talking about? carbon emissions. but this is purely electric. we're talking about equals a house versions of hybrid. so you could have a series hybrid which is where essentially fuel is used to power an electric my to which then powers the aircraft. so you're using fuel to charge a battery, essentially, and then you also have a cool power low hybrids, which is why you have the electric lights up and the fuel source, so kerosene to hydrogen,
8:57 pm
posts being used for propulsion. i couldn't imagine this tiny pan getting much bigger in the next 2 years, but the hybrid argument really makes sense. the idea estimates of hybrids would be the next leap, navigation of the 20 thirty's, with new designs replacing the tubing wing. and this will contribute to a 40 percent reduction and emissions by 2050 long flights and most likely use by of deals with some parts of the plane electric side and some use of hydrogen. the petition is a small step, but it gives hope for the potential of the diversity of technologies that are going to need for the crew to clean and the future of plans. like that's the comments section below. come back every friday. the when people say kick topics, think money luxury, they tell me is that is the most. i didn't cause the site and there was not the
8:58 pm
best category. it means nothing in the general idea of lifting it, try and involved communities. blackouts out the 77 percent next on d. w, you know, the number one shot sophia but how is the multi 1000000000 euro business failing in the age of renewable energy? even the saudi arabia is banking on a green future. all the oil, multi nationals cooling, it puts low to us in 30 minutes. oh d w the
