global trade towers. next october. i subscribe to do w. books you meet your favorite writer sometimes you can hear the story calls me. because of a small delivery books to. welcome to global 3000. this week we go to paris to find out how the pandemic is reshaping the fashion industry as we know it. we had to go to thailand where traffic

congestion dogs the lives of commuters but there are alternatives. but we begin in iran where a crisis might economy and a 2nd wave of the coronavirus attesting people's limits. one country 3 crises the 1st is political iran's government is built around ayatollah khomeini and president rouhani a set up that's viewed with suspicion by the u.s. israel and saudi arabia in particular iran is also embroiled in the long running proxy wars in syria and yemen and then there's the economy strict u.s. sanctions have left iran in dire economic straits flagging oil revenues rising inflation recession even before the pandemic the economy was struggling now it's hit rock bottom. and then there's the health crisis iran was one of the. first countries outside china to face high corona virus infection figures.

6 months later the virus is still not under control. how are you mania coping with all of this. after every customer disinfect his car inside and out he tells us that no one would get into his taxi otherwise despite this most people are still avoiding taxes for fear of getting infected business is bad today hammett will drive us around tehran all day finally a good assignment for him. i have a few customers who still haven't gone out because of the coronavirus crisis i go to the bank for them or shopping in the supermarket but i still only earn half as much as before the coronavirus crisis. rance grand bazaar here you'll understand why the numbers are going up again he says how many stops at the entrance gate saying he'll go no further than here. i don't go in there it's

very narrow and it's covered it's way too crowded the risk of getting infected is too high you can see for yourself i don't need to see anymore. most people in tehran are wearing masks but hardly anyone observes social distancing. we have an appointment with doctor and the immunologist and adviser to the national coronavirus committee in just 6 days he built a covert 19 emergency clinic with the help of private donations iran is experiencing a 2nd wave of infections the government is reporting over 2000 new cases every day but any doubts that the number of confirmed cases overall is accurate. to calculate. exactly but in my opinion. real. statistics on. the country had got over the 1st wave of infections at the. end of april travel and lockdown restrictions were east shops and mosques

began to gradually reopen but in early june the figures started rising again videos posted online showed overcrowded hospitals with patients on ventilators reports said the country lacked medical supplies and hospital staff were overwhelmed. no one is prepared to confirm those reports on camera many are also afraid to criticize the government's decision not to impose a new lockdown despite the rising number of cases. any policy of the government depends on the money. culture. and the economy economic system. in our economy. or fergal economy. we are in sanction. the people need to war. and around 300 patients are cared for every day in this clinic one in 10 is positive they're

either put into quarantine or referred to hospitals may stay has been his several times 2 weeks ago he tested positive for covert 19 today he came to get the results of his follow up test we no longer risk myself but i can infect others i'm supposed to stay in quarantine for another 5 days the situation has gotten really intense just a few days ago there was nothing going on here and today it's really for. me to meet our dr is scared he'd like the government to take more drastic action but knows there's little chance of that happening. during the government to enforce a strict quarantine we would need enough money but we simply don't have that the government would have to support the people financially so that we can meet our do we need it but evidently it's not able to do that alone well with. the countries in the midst of an economic crisis we need help with space at

a jewelry designer who tells us more. 2 years ago we filmed him in his jewelry design school hundreds of students trained with him it was a real success story iranian craftsmanship sold worldwide. war. but then came the u.s. sanctions and the coronavirus he shows us around an empty school building. branches in tehran shiraz god and other cities a total of 11 schools. some cities are not red zones they have very few infections 2 schools are still open there but all the others are closed. because there was no support from the government he initially tried to continue in tehran he reduced the number of students and ensured a safe distance between the work spaces. but things got worse i was afraid to come to work it's all a bit complicated as you know. there were some infections at the school but he

doesn't want to talk about that he's worried about his students switching to the competition for now his trying to get his company through the crisis with online courses. in the evening his taxi in front of his house his 11 year old daughter is only allowed out with a face mask to ride her bike for a bit his wife hardly ever leaves the house. to run a normally i didn't write you into my apartment but now with the coronavirus my wife is very particular about safety so we'd better stay outside. parents live around the corner he hasn't visited them in months a few words exchanged at the window is all his parents are old and sick he tells us and his job is risky. my mother had cancer i watch out for her safety and often argue with my sister i tell her not to visit our parents but she still sometimes goes to help them someone has to do that and it's

a balancing act that's tearing the country and its people a pass a struggle for survival in the midst of a pandemic sanctions. a rather different struggle takes place every day on the roads of sprawling urban areas around the world long traffic jam smoke filled cities c o 2 emission vehicles will this go on forever so far the statistics are for little optimism there are around $1300000000.00 cars motorbikes and trucks on our planet together and they account for 16 percent of global c o 2 emissions more environmentally friendly alternatives that run on energy city hydrogen or bio me thing haven't made much of a breakthrough in far and by century there could be around 2000000000 vehicles. thailand's capital bangkok is notorious for its traffic drivers often waste hours

sitting in jams but our camera team they're filming frog global ideas series met some people who are driving change. welcome to bangkok and to endless client streets the traffic crawls along if it moves at all. most of the drivers here are commuters who live in the thai capital quiet suburbs. is 3 jittery partly my as one of the millions of such commuters she lives in the locks the district of northern bangkok at 7 am she begins her journey and eats her breakfast at the wheel. it's a pattern repeated by commuters all over the city most choose to leave early. that they don't know how long they'll need to get to work. the traffic various from one day to the next some days the congestion begins right

outside my door other days it starts somewhere on the journey but more or less the entire route from my place to work is congested it's around 20 kilometers. the journey takes an hour and a half she once worked out that she wastes $32.00 days of her life every year stuck in traffic not to mention the impact on the environment const by all the exhaust fumes. monitoring stations across the city measure the air quality and deliver the results to the city authorities officials here say particulate matter is a real problem in bangkok as they know from personal experience. personally i'd like to go for walks in the city. sometimes i notice that it's difficult to bring. there but there are times when i get home and my eyes of watering down the

corner. and sometimes when i walk into the house my family starts now using as if i had brought the particulate matter with me. and this is one of the worst culprits the old diesel powered buses that crisscross the city most are around 25 years old they're popular because they're cheap to ride they account for around one 3rd of all journeys made in the city but they need to get stuck in traffic around 60 percent of journeys are made by private cars that will have to change if thailand is to meet its pledge of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 20 percent by 2030. the government transport department says it's on the case. with me.

the 1st thing we have to do is build up a better public transport network that he only when once there are enough public transport options for people to use we start tackling the issue of private cars. then still insist on using their own car they will have to pay a charge. charge. one of the main plans is to expand the elevated rapid transit system or sky train as it's known by 2029 the network is sent to cover 500 kilometers right now the train service remember to a small number of people only 3 percent of overbridge ernie's are made on the sky train or underground metro system. most of the passengers are young and middle class. and i find the sky train is the most reliable way to travel i need to work it means i can plan and i

know how long i need for the journey not like the bus which sometimes doesn't turn up all the driver refuses to let you on board. me. i'm about to take the sky train to see him station. will take me 15 minutes. in the same journey by taxi or car would take 40 minutes it's so much faster that's why i use the skytrain. for those who don't live near the train line there's a relatively new service available and app that allows them to book a took took which will then take them to the nearest train station. the auto rickshaw is. providing a relatively quiet emission free journey to the skytrain. the company behind it move me has only been going 3 years.

we're doing quite well we got. the call we bought. before. we get to our. audience year. on this year. like elsewhere many people in bangkok have seen their income take a hit in the current pandemic so the idea of introducing a tool for cars in the city is a sensitive issue but experts advise in the thai government saying the experience from european cities such as london and stockholm shows it's normal for the public to oppose the idea that 1st. experience is the key to explain people. even. before the local people also. also have some protests but after.

that the people are happy about it and from the result that they show 90 percent of the local support. the benefits would surely make it worthwhile but better air quality and quieter and less congested roads and the income from the toll could be invested in further improving the public transport system. but in european cities too the debate over congestion charges continued for many years before action was taken and many western countries still don't have congestion tolls but things in bangkok clearly can't continue as they are the city currently has over 10000000 motorized vehicles 1000000 of them. last year alone. getting from a to b. can be a struggle especially for those with disabilities around

a 1000000000 people worldwide experience some form of disability and millions of them rely on wheelchairs to get about but while in industrialized nations almost everybody in need of a wheelchair has access to one in developing countries just 10 percent. that's why wheelchair makers essentially those who can think outside the box are in demand. lincoln where money is assembling various components you found all but one of them in junkyards. he is building a wheelchair. only the motorcycle shock absorber is new. going to the trauma room. and yet we don't have would grow between 4 normal who is in the way it was but for this one because of what. to do

with the broken so when you get the whole it looks what this brings in part. and that is exactly what his customers need. katie so your cow has brittle bone disease she's 29 and leads an independent life despite diet predictions on the part of her doctors. she doesn't want to rely so much on the tattoos that is privately operated minibuses they're usually crowded and dangerous given the risk of coronavirus transmission. the 1st wheelchair came from china the 2nd from turkey but it keeps breaking down. the deep sea which can only dissuade john. i would not be there myself leaves so when this mess again everyone parties and this is that beats like what's happened then god means i have been saying enjoy his neck. i saw it's not just that really for me to was on my back to

where now my have been which as with sleep on it's making i don't go on my own. katie doesn't have the 1000 heroes that lincoln's model costs but she wants to do a test drive. it's fast and designed to cover launch distances. on. lincoln is a keen cyclist and started out repairing bikes then he started building his own cargo bikes and eventually moved on to wheelchairs. i could help with that we too are struggling to get to fight to get people on my path. and it's really touched me and i thought of how it would come when we would come up with the solution and my solution was to build a vehicle for them but 1st he had to learn how.

this guy's going to look from one end or has been used because he brings everything into needed so you understand what to me and how things work from inside so to me that work to china. he provided lincoln with the knowledge he needed to start motorized in his vehicles this modest workshop is where you develop his pressure times. dead buttons from. laptops on their laptops and this on the batteries i used to build my courses because of that really my vision is to see one people who are going clean and using green energy. and i think the only thing that is going. an example. lincoln wants to prove that green technology is not just for the rich but also for poor people in cities and rural villages. ok so you can hardly wait to acquire and

original lincoln well my model with its greater range she will no longer have to be hoisted into a matar too and thereby face the risk of infection. he or she has. that means the top i'll have it because i'm in contact with this person so i have to make sure my safety comes flats in the meantime katie c.e.o. cole continues to ride retards whose despite the risk she has no choice if she wants to get around. it. back in february staying safe was a theme in midland too at the time northern italy was one of the world's coronavirus hot spots and the trend setting many latin fashion week was overshadowed by a sense of unease then giorgio armani an ounce t.

he would start presenting his new collections on the line since then that's become standard practice the pandemic has instigated a revolution in the illustrious world of fashion. this model is showing off an evening gown designed by. his fall winter collection. to damn funny it's one of the only 15 houses worldwide to bear the official couture label. but everything is different this season even exclusive fashion has been affected by the global pandemic. the new collection won't be unveiled in a runway show instead it's being filmed for a video that will be shown online and that calls for a whole new approach. to move more now to justin and i think. it's movement it's the way light reflects on embroidery you can film it anywhere you know what it's still just a video and so today we're shooting

a film about the evolution of your collection rather than just showing a procession of models i don't want to do it the other private homes are doing that flogging clothes so we're showing a genesis to address. this is have thought me a presented his collections prepared demick the shows took place several times a year in glamorous settings exquisite designs extortionate price tags every gown a work of art but does could to a have any kind of relevance in the coronavirus era the pandemic has certainly made design is reef think what they do. you program sick on a murder and it was the problem with fashion is that it's a hamster wheel you hardly have time to enjoy one collection before you have destroyed in the next you can lose your sense of joy you please don't.

fashion is a fast moving merry go round nonstop runway shows just sling crowds fires and journalists see jesse around the world so they never miss the latest sensation more no collections increased production increased demand the surface gloss of high fashion heights some ugly truths. there's a madness to the world of fashion it's a lunatic travelling circus there's an international calendar new york paris london . then in january there are the old couture shows the men's wear collections and. march put the book day when you put up of. the fast pace of fashion but in paris at least changes underway the capital of high fashion is looking to reinvent itself as the capital of sustainable fashion isabella falls is co-founder of paris good fashion and industry association that aims to make fashion more ethical

responsible sourcing and responsible consumption of the cornerstones of its agenda because he'd accept the coronavirus crisis has accelerated the movement we need to do more to slow down the cycle of shows as well as production practices we have to stop sourcing and producing on the cheap all over the world. because to want to put you know we should produce more locally here in france and across europe. to put the maximum. as always the devil is in the detail that's better than the. lips hello from germany has lived in paris for nearly 25 years he has his own label and designs put up at a fashion factory made but still high quality most of his business is in asia his collections are intended to outlast a season and become war junks staples if this are really the pandemic has had an

impact on his approach to some months he had to deal with the fabric shortage so he began recycling men's last hour discarded with a long sweatshirt we altered the back we had no fabric from our. person off. well that's our going to run is about a quarter on the thrilling because when i started making clothes again i really had to think how do we want to dress now. american artists and so on from the bitter cartoons mommer them to remodeling can perform the song after everything that's happened nothing can be the same again. it only to be simpler. actually look at your room or you know. now you're young funny has suspended his old code to a show's. as high fashion presentations go online the fanfare that

accompanies new collections has been lost but i have to say it's time for fashion to roll up its perfectly tailored sleeves and reconsider whether it's all worth it fashion in the age of the coronavirus. and that's all from us at global 3000 this time don't forget to tell us what you enjoyed about this week chez right to global 3000 at d w dot com we're back next week by for now.
