world famous going to liz soon be gone. i've been physical and let's do business he said nothing's for free in life germany is promoting a radical solution to cut down on air pollution free public transportation the idea is to get people to leave their cars at home and take a train travel bus to work a little to the european union's environmental regulator has laid out the plans to test it on five cities along with low emissions arns electric car incentives and retrofitting of vehicles germany is facing fines from brussels for not doing enough to reduce emissions to meet e.u. standards. and chief political editor michel is with us so is this about clearing the air or is it about berlin trying to get brussels of its back. well it's about but i mean there's nine countries that are facing similar problems there was a big meeting the environment commission of a c called those countries in and lays down the law in regards to clean air around

europe and threatened to take legal action based on take these countries to court this now is germany's response which interests in the nuff goes beyond what parties that might potentially form a government here and many have agreed within their own kind of coalition contracts considering how many europeans die every year from pollution absolutely some four hundred thousand people die in the european union alone due to air pollution so this is a very serious issue although it isn't that tangible for most people who experience it but all the major cities pretty much and many frankfurt in stuttgart they face the same issues and they've been struggling of the past years to get those figures down at the same time we have this diesel scandal it was just absolutely didn't help and the interesting point here once again is that it now is really the public can the tax money that will be spent on reducing this when the. companies

volkswagen that we cheated when it comes to evolution are part of the maze of course so this is that he wants to act quickly but he doesn't want to have its water industry but i guess the exactly the comic is won't be too happy about people leaving their cars at home. at the same time the whole diesel thing has been great in the people have started thinking about this sort of thing and politicians are being forced into actually making changes the germans of course love to test everything and love to plan everything so there are going to be so cities that are going to be tested to see if this actually does work or if it sufficient well i'm glad you can see the bright side of the diesel scandal here. really this this is something that has been tried and tested in other cities around the world melbourne for instance but also in talent and then sometimes there. was the hope that more people would basically leave their car at home because also what some of those examples did so is that people are also reluctant to leave that comfort
