from new to newer. b.m.w. 7 series has a whole new look. put one to the test. drive it next on. in good shape. having children is no child's play. but when attempts to bear your own child remain unsuccessful there can be a lot of reasons why. some ways that modern reproductive medicine a. good shake 30 minutes w. . look

closely. carefully. don't suit your needs to be a good. discover the. subscribe to the documentary on you tube. hello and welcome to drive with a d w motor magazine coming up the toyota camry back in year a better. 315 year hiatus. the latest and b.m.w.

use 7 series as study in luxury and putting the sporty cooper had taken through its paces. the spanish island majorca is ideal for holidays in the sun and for testing a take in all kinds of road conditions. these contests are close needs food says compact s.u.v.s like that. are popular but says they're too tame for buyers who prefer even sporty or handling so cooper a c at smaller sports division has rolled out something special the a take up now klaus is going to try it out. has organized a little triathlon for his crossover and the sport who play off road country road and race track where the former race driver will push the

a take it to its limits. the 1st test rugged terrain here the s.u.v. is nimble enough all wheel drive and the high clearance do the trick but equipped with on road tires and can't show what it can really do. even with its higher center of gravity mia take it aces side tilson inclines of course it wasn't built to be an all terrain vehicle but for a crossover issue its performance is more than up to snuff. and the design reflects pure performance. on the way to the race track cars checks how well it copes with country roads.

he explains that the cooper and take his engine actually comes from the volkswagen g t i that's part of o. swagger as much of their design concept input sound 300 horsepower more than you generally need on country roads but then it's always nice to have some power in reserve he says for example when you need to pass quickly. died in the clouds finds nothing to complain about he thoroughly lacks the drive ability though the car understeers a little time to see what it can do on the track. on the majorca circuit close is able to push the intake into its limits. but 1st here's a summary of the model specs. that close thinks the 400 meters of torque from the turbo charged engine is more

than enough to exit tight curves at a good clip he points out that the all wheel drive also provides the traction needed to accelerate out of curves and get up to speed fast on straight away. chanelle to get. the thrust is put through a newly developed 7 speed d.s.t. dual clutch automatic transmission time and being close confirms of the car waffles a little when turning through a series of back and forth tight curves and says oh cars do to some extent when you turn left and then right quickly but i thought they up and with the higher center of gravity here as in all issues vs this one is no exception but he has no trouble keeping it under control he had taken a very smart all wheel drive and since the throne stewards needed he says that makes for a well balanced car in a very good night. tight suspension has various settings and on the track of course

he puts it on the sporty just want to fall back hard to. quantify it but at $32.00 squat besides. the driving mode called cooper it is very responsive and the suspension nice and tight but that makes little sense for ordinary driving the normal mode on the other hand same fuel and gets the car through traffic less aggressively. that those who follow the plows decides that the company hasn't promised too much to take a left a good impression on the track but not many owners will be driving it there by the way in germany the base version starts at $42850.00 euros but out of the oil. price cog of a car to stay young by here pops a trivia question what's currently the world's best silly midsize sedan it's the

camry toyota has churned out over 19000000 of them worldwide since the model was launched in 1902 when the last camry was sold in germany in 2004 and then discontinued europe hardly noticed the sticking point was that buyers in the market for nearly 5 meter long sedan generally opted for a diesel instead of the camry's 3 leader v 6 gasoline engine but times change and now the camry's come back to europe as a full hybrid when their company gets that far if you believe that come back you know. toyota is taking a conscious approach to the camera used to return and is counting on selling just $12000.00 units the 1st year in all of europe that compares to about $700000.00 sold annually worldwide the japanese car makers also targeting a very specific group taxi drivers city traffic is where the new 4 hybrid can use its low fuel consumption to the best advantage. and leave the hard work up to the

electric motor it can cover about half the trips taken in normal conditions on electric drive only achieving a total system performance of $160.00 kilowatts together with a 4 cylinder 2 and a half liter gasoline engine. just want to know what up yonder finds it hard to tell if the camry is running on electric or gasoline power while he's moving his side from the sound of the tires on the road he can't really hear any difference in sight nor does he notice any change when the car automatically switches from electric to combustion power everything's very smooth and quiet in sight but he admits the automatic continuously variable transmission took some getting used to but it failed to him like a rubber band was pulling the car because the engine gets louder before the added thrust kicks in. so on you've been then what. would output well that's not

what. the words your gasoline engine allows the camry to shift a lot more evenly and harmoniously than the less powerful one in toyota's prius hybrid even though it has a continuously variable transmission as well. up front the camry sports a large trampas a little air dam. the ends of the bumper frame the air intakes to give the buddy a hint of a catamaran stubblebine. the generously lay down to an easily accessible trunk offers 524 liters of volume. i don't mind owning it this camry makes jaan feel more like. cruising easily down

the road then racing around he puts that down to a power train that's designed for efficiency and a very comfortable suspension but even though it was fine tune especially for europe he can still tell the model was developed primarily for the american market and smoothed over the bumps in the road quite nicely but at high speeds as body tends to start moving around the vehicle. the camry has profited from the car maker's new t.n.g.'s a until you go to a new global architecture platform that the car maker is integrating into the body structure of many of its other models it's given the camry 30 percent a greater torsional rigidity. in with duff it will ya notice is 1st about the interior is the high quality workmanship but he also notices that some features like the sat nav the displays resolution and even the buttons for the heated seats located down on the console

they all look a little dated. the 2.8 meter wheelbase allows for a spacious interior a 7 inch info display dominates the instrument cluster while an 8 inch infotainment system greases the center console. yana concludes that the full hybrid camry would serve well as a cruising sedan for traveling although it's low fuel consumption any missions ratings are best appreciated in stop and go city traffic in spite of its quirks when accelerating a full hybrid sedan has no real competition in the mid-size segment he says so it will be interesting to see of toyota will stick with the $12000.00 and will units its plan for hybrid camry will soon become

a more common sight on europe's roads. in an effort to make all electric cars practical and affordable volkswagens opening a new chapter with its id 3 and 3 stands for v.w. as compact class and v.w. sees the model as the 3rd chapter in the book that started with the v. logo and the golf 3 battery sizes give the id 3 a range of between 330 and 550 kilometers and germany prices started under $30000.00 euros. ford has presented its new ranger raptor optically the special model is based on the f. 150 raptor made for the american market but unlike the f 150 is powered by a 2 liter 156 kilowatt diesel engine a special shock absorbers made by motorsports supplier fox let it take on extremely rugged terrain and faster speeds and germany prices for the ranger raptor started

just under $67000.00 euros. that's it any car tested against tot mom is taking out the new facelift a b.m.w. 7 series he wants to see how it drives and especially how it feels when you're being driven. just over 3 years after the last update the bavarian car maker has. once again word over its flagship model giving it a new look and adding the newest technology. the latest version of b.m.w. as luxury sedan has significantly larger trademark kidney grills than its predecessors 40 percent larger according to the designers the headlights on the other hand have shrunk the car maker will continue to offer the 7 series in short and long variants but with have added 22 millimeters in length.

against his newly detail lights with a light strip identify the car along with 2 other clues on the rear of the x. drive the car's 4 wheel drive system and the 745 alley badging the number tells you about the motor the l. stands for long and the means it's a plug in hybrid. the facelift and 7 series interior was left mostly untouched except for the 12.3 inch digital instrument cluster behind the wheel as well as a 10 and a quarter inch console on the central stack. just like the last version it's kitted out with luxury as leather seats. the rear is as comfortable as b.m.w. could make it that's where c.e.o.'s politicians and others who can afford it recover from the stress of their jobs.

but up again says the engines range from the 730 d. to the m 760 l.-i in other words from a 4 cylinder to a powerful v 12 he decided to take out the 745 for a reason. the street 6 cylinder plug in hybrid has a total system output of $290.00 kilowatts and can hit 100 kilometers per hour. or from a dead standstill and just over 5 seconds the top speed is electronically capped at 250 kilometers an hour when running on electric power alone the 745 l e x drive has only a 54 kilometer range. with a fine yet says handling couldn't be better the chassis is very comfortable and steering is precise and responsive the brakes are nicely incremental and he's happy

to turn over the annoying task of shifting gears to the 8 speed automatic transmission which does the job better than he ever could but. many buyers of the 7 series won't be driving it themselves they'll often have a chauffeur for that so what's it like to sit in back in the lap of luxury. is even is in the end says the long version of the 7 series is the chauffeur limo and he's in a back enjoying the ride i can really imagine sitting back here for you in a 1000 kilometers while getting an astonished by the seat watching t.v. and giving the occasional order up front that if he felt like it he could even work back here but that he would want to do that he asked. so the bottom line is that the 7 series has grown even more comfortable quiet and luxurious it's not the kind of car you jump into for

a quick trip to the store but it's ideal for a longer journey whether behind the wheel or and back. for. s.u.v.s are supposed to be versatile able to get the job done both on and off the road while some brands also emphasize sportiness g.m. has taken a different approach with the sportage despite its name. the korean carmaker has applied for a fuel saving hybrid concept to its most powerful diesel its 48 volt battery and 12 kilowatt starter generator let the combustion engine switch off even when the car is moving towards sample when it's coasting or break. even. for says the diesel he has today is supported by the mild hybrid network which lowers consumption by taking the strain off the combustion engine and when you coast up to

a light at under 30 kilometers an hour the engine cuts out when you sail up to it he says and that also saves fuel. the electric motor can enhance torque by up to 55 newton meters giving that to leader diesel sportage $136.00 kilowatts of power and taking it to 100 kilometers an hour and 9 and a half seconds compared to the conventional 2 leader diesel version of the s.u.v. the mild hybrid reduces consumption and emissions by have to 10 percent down to a respectable $5.00 leaders per 100 kilometers on the road. emanuel says the sportage is handling is a pretty relaxed affair the chassis is soft and so is the steering not really made her sporty driving on the other hand as an s.u.v. i'll sue you want higher seats and a good overview and you certainly have that. several changes have also been made to the looks of

a new sport each the front has been given more contours and a more exclusive appearance overall the optional l.e.d. headlights and filigree grille lended a more dynamic modern air the face lifted model is also longer than its predecessor and now measures just under 4 and a half meters. and back under ceilings jumps out at you and gives the new sporty jump bronnie or appearance. officially they can sportage is a compact issue but its dimensions are a little too large for that but you notice it when you sit in back says the man oh well there's plenty of leg room want to get this if it's if you move to the rear and still has over a hand's breath of space so no reason to complain if. the interior of this test car is fitted with a g.t. trim line and includes a leather flat bottom steering wheel. the

upholstery is also leather while the seams are stitched in a contrast in red all in all the impression is one of quality workmanship. yeah they called this mine was says he likes the sportage is tidy interior the buttons on the middle console are intuitive and you quickly find what you need just like with other manufacturers it's all high gloss which is not good for duster fingerprints but that complaint applies to pretty much every car otherwise everything is tiptop. all in all he says the key is sportage is a solid car it has some weaknesses but also strengths and you can't forget that it generally comes with a 7 year warranty practically no other manufacturer gives that he says the working on. this sporty choose key is top selling model worldwide both

a mild hybrid diesel and other available engines made strict new european emissions requirements. for. today we're taking a unique early 1950 s. car 1st spin the v.w. beetle stole coupe a the v.w. beetle went into mass production in 1945. selling millions and no frills cars suited to the bleak postwar period but by 1990 began selling a beetle convertible and a better equipped version for export the economic miracle every new germans thirst for lecturing. about now i'm up there on a hot vintage car expert chris down by where says wealthy german lawyer baron hard to keep on housing from bad now hi i'm was an artsy kind of sewer for whom

a mass produced b. don't just wouldn't do so he designed this wonderful v.w. beetle stoke to pay in 1951 local coachbuilder stole under took the customization based on an export beetle model to be a valid to break with uniformity. of the v.w. as platform allows for different bodies to be fitted which is ideal for customization. but the boss back then i read nordoff stressed that v.w. was a car maker not a chancy maker and declared we want to control what the vehicles that bear our name look like still v.w. made only small cosmetic changes to the beetle and even in the 1970 s. it was still allowing others to fit the bug with more luxurious bodies. so that it was like the christo says that underneath the elegant body of his v.w. beetle stowe coupe a hides a pretzel beetle which v.w. discontinued in 1953 the v.w. beetle stowe coupe a doesn't have its trademark principles shaped rear window

though christophe says instead it has a large rectangular rear window that was likely taken from the then brand new b.m.w. 501 crystal says the good view is crucial because the stoke who pay has no side mirrors only introduced larger rear windows to its mass production beetles and 1957 the. gradual improvements made the v.w. beetle a massive hit in 1955 the car makers celebrated the project. it was $1000000.00 fiedel by building a luxury beetle coated in gold dust in jewels by this time reaping how since unique stole who pay had already covered tens of thousands of kilometers. of a field would not christan says reaping house and put over 400000 kilometers on his custom build v.w. an impressive technical feat for the 1950 s. and sixty's and leap in house and was traveling in style that is v.w.

slushy leather seats and door panels were worthy of a rolls royce or a bentley kristoff now that's a leap in house and would likely have wanted to bring along a suitcase or 2 those stories space is pretty limited christopher points out a clever folding mechanism you can fold the rear seat bench forward creating storage space for evening wear or what have you it said that volkswagen later patent this feature. i'm going to have the folksong spit on. the stone coupe praise front section is identical to the production model beetle. with its stylish head like covers and folding canvas some proof were available at the time as optional accessories everything else though was custom built. high i think as if and degree stuff things these indicators on the b.

pillar and these air vents so-called rheumatism flaps look pretty peculiar about today's standards this feature was installed only in 1951 models the stoke a also has a special silhouette with beautiful wheel covers and this striking notch back and says christophe here you can tell it's all been built by hand truly one of a kind we caught. underneath the hood is the granddaddy of all. v.w. enchants a 4 cylinder boxer engine with $1.00 leaders of displacement and $24.00 horsepower the end. look at the foot of the crystal says it takes about 50 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100 kilometers an hour the car's top speed despite the meager $24.00 horsepower doesn't feel slow the car way so little that the engine has an easy time. coach builders rummage through his and have also

developed high end beetle versions and osnabrück carmaker carmen developed open top models that served as prototypes for v.w. as 1949 beetle convertible but all still ever developed was this one luxury is v.w. still pay. for its stuff says the v.w. still coupe a was one of a kind and a trailblazer by the 1950 s. it had become highly fashionable to customize mass produced cars like the v.w. beetle especially in the us the dune buggy trend was one example of mass produced beetles offered plenty of options for customization and to realize one's automotive dreams those who pay made that abundantly clear so christopher thinks it's a milestone and automobile history. soon folks wagon acknowledge the

appeal of combining exquisite car bodies and robust automobile technology in 1955 v.w. task carmen with constructing the elegant karmann ghia based on the v.w. beetle for which the state we spoke to play at essentially pave the way. next time i drive it we check out mercedes new luxury ford. that c.l.'s. and take that jeep wrangler on a wrong approach she will that. be. in

a risk the babies oh in france girls come out of a room and boys out of a couch but what if the stork the roses and the cabbage fail you can go to the fertility center him to listen to dr kathy he. so if a couple has unprotected sex after one or 2 years in former times and fosse not easy to get pregnant but now the modern reproductive medicine is able to help. to get maybe one or 2. most of the couples who want to have babies are in the lucky side of life they just get pregnant that others try and try and try and they fail and if they don't get pregnant after you hear it up to say this is infertility.

there can be many reasons why a woman fails to get pregnant one 3rd of cases are attributed to fertility issues with the female partner one 3rd to problems with the male partner and one 3rd to a combination of problems in both couples are generally considered in need of fertility treatment if they've been trying and failing to conceive for at least a year. in 2015 nearly 21000 babies born in germany for example resulted from assisted reproduction that was 1000 more than in the previous year worldwide millions of babies are conceived with the help of fertility treatment and the numbers climbing steadily so is infertility on the rise. sperm counts in western industrialized nations have plunged by over 50 percent in the last 40 years stress and unhealthy lifestyles have been shown to adversely affect fertility professor

cuts i mean hunger has observed a rise in the number of people seeking fertility treatment. smoking and obesity have a major impact on fertility and both women and men. the good thing is that you can discuss these issues with a couple and encourage them to make changes i must see what if it's yes. but the main reason why couples fail to conceive is that women's fertility declines with age. the number of eggs in their ovaries decreases steadily. girls enter puberty with around half a 1000000 eggs. they lose around a 1000 eggs each month. when a woman is in her early thirties the statistical likelihood of her becoming pregnant is 30 percent precise. in the fall full by the time a woman is 40 the likelihood she'll conceive has decreased and by $44.00 she has

just a 3 to 4 percent chance of conceiving a month on this financial. or indeed the reason for this to put it frankly is that her eggs are older and they've declined in quality so a pregnancy becomes less lightly and d'agostini students why nationalise of. women seeking fertility treatment are 35 and a half years old on average. with women delaying childbearing in some parts of the world are couples who want children more likely to end up childless. that includes just that you can't necessarily joel that conclusion is we don't know how many childless couples wanted children and how many chose not to have them working and. what we do know is that a growing number of couples are seeking fertility treatment and that the options are becoming increasingly sophisticated the probability of conceiving after one

round of treatment is now 20 percent the more rounds you have the higher your chances are of conceiving but success is by no means guaranteed. and you can head off utility center in the league which is one of the hottest rooting interest interest here in germany thanks for having me today. which a couple decide to come see so 1st say should have unprotected sex and if it more than one year of unprotected sex then they should go to a doctor either gynecologist or here to reproductive unit and if they visit you and watch you. first have to find out the reason for being steroids we call it steroids and that is the pending on either male factors or female factors and then female factors they mainly harbor the disturbances that there is an everyday romance called cycle or the wife has a problem with her fellow peon toups as

a result of pelvic infection or it is a male problem that was promoted to be of the number of the sperm as no and that might be the reason of a male infertility you definitely look at both not just the female to male yes of you have to look at both because it's half and half between male and female that the reason is solving male and hard and female left years you really mean something about it used quality which increased over the last decade this is true that's true but on the other hand we know that the probability to get pregnant is nearly the same whether it's now or it's a decade or 2 decades ago so there is a problem but it has no influence on the question whether the wife is should get pregnant moment but one problem could be a show of your industrious countries couples decide to imagine an older age

for instance over the age of 50. here that has an influence so the normal fecundity gets. after the age of 30 in the by. but definitely between 303538 that's not a huge problem after 40 years of age that's a problem because of the problem of the quality of the x. the quality of the existing minish ing after the dramatically up to the age of 38 years and the introductory age of survive is very important on the other hand the male influence is not that important but after the age of 50 you have also a lower quality of the sperm looking at treatment options i mean i think that it depends on the costs of the infertility but what kind of options to the office ok if there's a nominal disturbance in the women it's the treatment is very easy. you have

to get for some tablets or injections to produce eggs and then if she isn't ovulation she then these this problem is solved on the other hand if there are moderate problem with the sperms you could combine this long it was an artificial insemination so drugs for ovulation and artificial insemination so it's a quite easy treatment. let's take a closer look at artificial insemination in investors countries about 2 to 5 percent of the couple need some help. many couples hoping to have children face a battle against time such as 34 year old even villa and her husband lived. we tried and failed for a long time so we went to see the doctor and i went to a gynecologist and my husband went to just the doctors advise us to go to a fertility clinic can i watched him to give him

a shot. it was quite overwhelming at 1st it had already going on our minds but when that's what you're told because it really becomes an issue but it didn't mean that we had this opportunity. to look for. we used to take this egg cell that turns into an embryo out of an incubator and put it under a microscope to see whether fertilization had occurred so it's was a view of what it was the fertilizer ovum was examined once a day. you could say and you just removing the cells from the warm environment of the incubator 37 degrees celsius removing them from ideal conditions and exposing them to the risk of cooling and to light as well as fluctuations in the ph levels and now none of that's necessary and issue new technology is

helping to improve the success rate of assisted reproduction treatment. among the latest and the most advanced methods now available is the so-called time lapse incubating. when you open it shares are kept at the built in camera travels along a few measures and assesses the cells while creating live time lapse footage it's a very small area it's just the. it's intentional in order to create very stable cell culture conditions for the for the opium tubes where the egg cells would usually develop are close to no like can enter and there are no champs which are fluctuations just stunned. that allows a more natural and unhindered development in the extremely sensitive early phase as .
