right now the journey takes more than 24 hours, but if this road were paved, it would take about five. the long commute means about 35 cents in transport costs is added to every kilogram of fruit produce or other items. for about nine hours a day there is power. it is provided by diesel gen raters that are expensive to run. power costs more than 20 times here than in kabal. most can't afford that. almost none of the homes here have running water. it's often children who have to walk a kilometer or more to a spring to get the only water that's fit to drink. as long as this lacks basic services like these, many here say they have little chance of an sparkling future if you missed the first episode, the forgotten province, you can go to our website, aljazeera.com. u.s. rib publican candidates

70% over the last two years. in a city where accommodation is expensive, many are forced to live in slums and tiny flats. >> the majority of them are living on really, very, very small amount, every single month. what they can afford, for example, rooms right behind a staircase, some of them are living in that, or in coffin homes as we call them. >> reporter: christian action is one of the groups helping to howse and feed the growing number of refugees fleeing persecution and seeking protection in hong kong. >> basic needs are taken away from a lot of these people and that's really where the refugee community has to depend on organisations like ours >> reporter: the government wasn't available for comment. unlike most other nations, hong kong is not a signatory to the u.n.'s convention on the status of refugees. china is, but it hasn't been extended here. while it has, the u.n. convention against torture,

which prohibits deporting refugees to countries where they face persecution, 11 out of 13,000 cases are accepted here since 1993. that compares to a global average of around 27%. even if they are successful and recognised as a refugee, the government in hong kong doesn't offer most of them the rights they would have under the refugee convention, including the right to work. >> the best they can get is a temporary permission to work, but that's only after years of misery and delay, and there's no, you know, proper status >> reporter: for the increasing number of refugees now living in the city, some who fled persecution, the situation offers little hope to those wanting a new start. sarah clerk the due dubai air show usually makes the headlines.

many airlines are keeping their check books closed. partially built aircrafts using 3 d are in the spotlight. >> reporter: after two days of the air show here, the order books have been very quiet. to be fair, two years ago in 2013 it was a record number of orders. 206 billion dollars spent on new plane orders. this year the only thing to note so far jet airways from india spending eight billion dollars on 75 new 737 planes, an emwrits airline selling is 16 billion. as the things like the a380 behind me, forget about it. there hasn't been a new order for one of those in two years. so it's not so much happening here. outside the focus has shifted to inside. this was the first time here that we've seen one entire section of the air show dedicated solely to 3d printing.

this has become a big part of the industry. in fact, air buses a350 plane only started flying last year, it has a thousand parts on board which are manufactured through 3 d printing. what we've got here is something completely different. this is the world's first 3 d principled drone or uav as they call them, which has a jet engine inside. it's made a company. what they have managed to do is to construct it or print it from a material that can withstand a heat that a jet engine puts out. that jet engine is pushing this drone along at up to 240 km/h so you can imagine how that will change the whole way drones are used. at this stage it's only a concept, not something that is going to be mass produced or ordered, but what it is demonstrating is what 3 d printing is capable of and where it can go in such a very short space of time the u.n.'s weather agency says the concentration of greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere reach a record level
