car but 2 halves considered spare parts larby is planning a trip to casablanca in his native morocco by car 3000 kilometers as the crow flies from start cart. one last check before the trip as the neighbors look on. mauritius a trained car mechanic and worked for decades in a mercedes contract the ranch. he knows the 124 inside out here just how old is it now i know my city one was. a bomb even so the car's flawless that's all you can come with me in morocco there's enough space that's going to be offered colonists as a bit too much of a surprise for pater base neighbor. this one with thank you for your thoughts so i'll show you some pictures of morocco. just to look at the whole car park is just w 123 taxis but they're really sturdy those who post. why this is because of and

that is casablanca downtown this used to be or you see only 123 is everywhere no matter where you look. at the paper should imo morocco just gets more beautiful every time i go there. it's my home after all. casablanca and industrial and commercial metropolis on the atlantic home to form 1000000 people and morocco's largest city. and its largest hometown. he grew up in the damp sometimes neighborhood. he comes to visit once a year sometimes he comes alone some time. with his wife and 2 sons marvie

retired a few weeks ago in the future he plans to come to morocco not just for a few days but for a few months each year. you will want to rocco is still my home but my roots are here germany is my 2nd home to where i earn my living. so both morocco and germany have become my home and i cannot live without either of them. credit. so is this. that's why every year he drives from one country to the other and back again

with this mercedes which looks perfectly at home in morocco whereas in germany it almost seems like a relic from times past. flood stage even for. the betsi discusses survive and that's the best that i think that. her is a putz who feel no use to feel at least by the brits who give you. need to feel a new suit with an absorption could be permissible. sometimes it makes your throat should snuff bust a move that of an old movie you both are going to hurt because you. want their lives eat we feel beautiful but not into.

getting up front door please mom. back in casablanca the w 124 like the one larby drives is considered almost a new car here not least due to the price the cityscape is dominated by the preceeding 123. its nickname in morocco is the white shark. they're mostly used as called taxi which are generally booked for longer trips. they work according to the principle of shared taxi. driver starts when the car is full. most call taxi are mercedes 240 diesels that is he did that this is. modern competitors are catching up vans made by rhinos low priced romanian brands dacha are picking up the pace here. but the

passengers swear by mercedes and the mercedes taxi driver says wait here for customers in moroccan style relaxing with a glass of coffee. that document who may is 59 years old and has been a taxi driver for almost half his life he drives daily from casablanca to el gato his native village about an hour away he travels 4 to 500 kilometers every day and his taxi seats up to 6 passengers 4 in the back 2 in the front. good luck met also drives a diesel the fuel is cheaper than gasoline or morocco and ahmed's white shark uses around 8 leaders per 100 kilometers that's hardly any worse than in the car. those of. us you do what you i looked at some new cars but i didn't like them.

compared to mercedes reliability is downright ridiculous. in the mercedes you can drive even 2 or 3000 kilometers without worrying about whether you'll break down in the desert or somewhere. you'll always get where you're going. all the poor old. hard to believe if you take a closer look at other myths car it is after all. 36 years old. often it does not know how many kilometers it's clicked the a dom letter is broken in. the back. and we see him on the lookout for spare parts.

of. the replacements but all matter perhaps larby can help his parts warehouse has nearly everything especially for the 240 diesel the most common model here but every year it gets harder to find used parts 10 years from now larby says there won't be any more. he can still get a lot of parts from europe from cars that have been in accidents or were scrapped every 3 to 4 months he receives a delivery by ship the last one came a month ago and has almost been completely sold on. unfortunately this white mudguard which could use comes from the wrong car the successor model. and then there's a problem with ahmed's 123 it's leaking water but it's not a cracked hose it's something much worse the thermostat housing is corroded the surface all eaten away what's needed is

a new part but that cost several $100.00 drams or he can try the garage across the street. what follows is an introduction to moroccan improvise ation involving advanced aluminum welding the welding wire comes from an old alternator housing and it's all done freehand. after a few minutes the corroded hose connectors are welded. they grind off the excess material. or thief. now they only need to put together a seal and the thermostat housing can be reinstalled. the entire repair takes half an hour and costs around $6.00 euros. outlets mercedes is good to go.

in morocco a lot of people live with old were sadie's and make a living off them but if the our forty's have their way that won't be the case for much longer by the other countries iraq o. is fighting air pollution the state pays taxi drivers half of the purchase price if they buy a new car even so most cannot afford to replace their vehicles and cannot get a bank loan for us meant a new car is out of the question. will be the last one to get rid of car repairs the truth no way am i dreaming about mercedes. that's because the car provides his income and his family's. off med can afford an apartment in one of the better neighborhoods of casablanca he lives here with his wife and daughter and his mother in law and her nephew. his son lives in new york where he too works as

a taxi driver but it's not easy akhmed pays the quibble into 2 months earnings just for the job training for his daughter ayesha she wants to become a flight attendant a job where you have to know people are met says nothing happens in morocco without the right connections. so you go to be a sheriff life is expensive and difficult for taxi drivers. nothing is provided for you here health care or unemployment pensions. these are all things that we have to cover ourselves. orders to live that. morocco is a country in transition agriculture phosphate mining and tourism are the pillars of the economy as is illegal hasheesh farming. morocco is

a monarchy the king is as popular as he is powerful he holds sway over the economy. even so unemployment is high one quarter of the population cannot read or write. security and stability take precedence over freedom of expression and the right to demonstrate. achmet could have been a government employee for life as a police man but after 2 years he decided it was not his true calling. i saw too much inequality but no democracy too many things i didn't like. to

force that's why i turned to the profession but it's fascinated me since i was a boy driving a taxi. simple as that. so. doing his dream job for 25 years now always in the same car because it is simple for me this old mercedes is my faithful companion the one who is if i really admire you i would like to stay with her till the go away there's. the good to be a mosque one of the iconic landmarks of morocco. the red city morale. close pearl of the south more than a 1000 years old and one of the 4 royal cities mark ash. the city is surrounded by a wall 9000 kilometers long it once offered protection against bandits who threaten

to take merchants goods for their lives it was a perilous time which explains the name of the city. does it if it's made up of 2 arabic words more kush you go fast or if you the area around america it was very dangerous and the caravans had to pass through it quickly you put the old city ramparts in the towers provided security for the caravans up not one of the couple as did the ins catering to caravans not because they all had big gates and more cush go fast but to the name america shoeshine is what i couldn't stop. talking lexie arnaud's the city like the back of his hand not least the souk the bazaar and mark cash with its 10000 traders hakim is a choice to guide he speaks english german and french the 2nd official language of morocco the biggest contingent of tourists here come from france followed by spain

and germany practically everything on offer here is aimed at visitors from abroad but hawking says 99 percent of the products in the sukkah are produced in morocco and many right here in the bazaar. traditional handicrafts instead of cheap copies from abroad this benefits local producers and ensures traditional techniques of work. arnold lost. hakeem the tourist guide is 45 years old and happens to have

a doctorate in science he studied in dusseldorf but instead of researching he shows tourists his city. this is an apostle and that's what it's always been a passion of mine for me i like to show my country to people because i have seen that many people from europe like germany do not have the right image of our land the soonish diminish they can do do but in the summer. that's why he also offers tours of parts of the old town where tourists rarely venture the mark hash of the moroccans just around the corner from the shiny facades of the modern tower blocks . hakim's main message is that morocco is a liberal country including in religious matters he calls it islam lite. fundamentalist islam he says is not very popular here. all this bakery

does is take the customers mix they don't themselves the baker just pushes it into the oven. mara cash is hot even in october temperatures reach 35 degrees celsius so almost no one has their own oven. i. think. but prosperous tourists sometimes encounter the poverty here. a friend of hakeem new haleigh sells paper tissues she is 14 years old although school is compulsory in morocco she has never attended because she has to help support her family. her dream job. to the doctor. mara cash a city of contrasts in manifold ways. let's move on to

understand it's what's special about this city is that the modern and the ancient lived side by side of it what it is that you can see traditional wife and modern life together they're living through them and you might find a really old door from the 14th or 15th century and next to it is an i phone 7 or 8 i phone zeven or the i have one. it's a similar scenario with taxis new alongside old. one horsepower vs $150.00 you also have mercedes models of all ages alongside their modern rivals. and as everywhere rule number one is 1st come 1st served usually. this gives the most but i think there are always disputes here but after that everything's

fine again emissions because people intervene and they help the others to reconcile the next day is a new page. in mara cash taxes have to wait outside the old town due to the narrow streets and alleyways and the city's most famous square jamma elf not a unesco world heritage site is in any case off limits. it's where you'll find the jugglers snake charmers musicians artists fortune tellers the sellers of miracle cures and street traders. one meaning of. is assembly of the dead as it was once the venue of executions. in april 20th 11 the square saw a new tragic loss of life when a terrorist attack killed 17 people. today the tourists are back enjoying the squares flare especially after sundown.

at 5 o'clock in the morning mohammad wipes the last grains of dust from his 124 the most common taxi model in mark ash. he then sets off south for seti fatma in the atlas mountains i . mohammed's diesel powered car has more than a 1000000 kilometers on the clock it's only a little younger than its driver in the eco valley is an insider's tip among tourists and a popular destination for the locals less than an hour from our cash. there's

a great appreciation for water in areas north africa the restaurants and bars along the way offer a special feature getting your feet wet i but life in the mountains is tough with farming very limited many people here look for work in mark hash others get left behind especially unmarried women. this is painstaking manual work 1st the nuts are peeled then the hard shell is cracked and finally the moment shapes kernels are ground up. this is how our gun is created the oil so beloved of the global cosmetics and food industry and its production provides many women with a small income. a number of cooperatives have been founded in the already cavalli they employ widows divorced women and single mothers the ark are not only grow in

the south of morocco in the audio region but the oil is extracted here from 30 kilograms of nuts the women can produce one liter of oil. well there's a lot of the 1st reason to do it by hand is that it preserves tradition. in morocco you do everything with your hands you know the 2nd reason is to maintain the quality because when you do it with machines that oil will not be good for very long. along. it's sold locally either as cooking oil in which case the nuts are 1st roasted to remove bitterness or as a cosmetic oil moroccans swear by it because it makes the skin so soft. and mohamed brings the customers here in his taxi. $75.00 man lives in the valley at the foot of the high atlas it's $1500.00 residents are berbers who

lived in the atlas before the region's arab ization in the middle ages. for mohammed this is literally the end of the road the inhabitants cannot afford a taxi any way they walk or take many buses then to models made by more sadie's. if you want to go further up into the mountains as a tourist you have to look for a driver with an s.u.v. in this case it's a land rover looking back down on set he fatma in the fertile river valley. the atlas is the highest mountain range in north africa it's an inhospitable area the highest peaks are in excess of 4000 meters the 1st snow already falls in october. there are only a few villages in these parts the people keep sheep and goats. on some of the steep

slopes they've created terraces for farming whoever can leave here does so to look for a job in the city. perhaps as a taxi driver. we're now back in egypt driving along the nile delta. tariq the taxi driver from cairo is on the way to that small city full of old mercedes coos. played the music. that said something to me before we. got. to go to.

the market square in fact who says also the main stop for the shared taxis some are over 50 years old in addition to the stroke age the w 110 known as the fin tail is omnipresent. however it was 1st built in 1961 the rare long wheelbase mercedes models are especially popular with 3 rows of seats for 7 passengers. thank you all in this case 11. despite appearances everything is organized precisely here and runs according to a strict set of rules. it's the coordinators stop to ensure this. thanks a lot of way over to the system here is that every car going to be higher take 6

passengers the fare is 5 pounds of $25.00 euro cents. it's simple never gets there 1st as a register 1st that's pretty handy ali has had a fin tail for 27 years twice a day he drives to 80 kilometers away the taxi is his only source of income but he's not doing badly from day has 2 houses 2 wives and 5 children 2 of whom are currently at college. but they are in this city everyone loves the most eighty's cars because most eighty's is a german product and a tough car. these are great the shops he is strong on a camera stand a lot of holding the cars developers were convinced of this almost 60 years ago. that's a 1000000 down gate this year these are kids at bush learned the president's ragen

be self-indulgent and kilometer. oh. well. that will make them you know me to. recent issues or have them stumped i had to meet in an automobile and discuss i'd like to get to superstition that problem get back to the fish when they get sick don't you know me to. and rather myth the cats got kind of bad. right fouled up on a group they are part of the pod stepped up to this link. and behave as though i'm leaving the public. and just let this when they get frantic don't think you know me to. the cats was album the man him give fairly concede to

a enchantments i'm going to. tariq the taxi driver from cairo has problems with his engine it could be due to the poor quality fuel in egypt there's a tight network of repair workshops in fact crews but of course they specialize in mercedes. repairs are made in tiny workshops mechanics make spare parts with self-made templates original spare parts are too expensive so you have to improvise . somehow they always manage to keep the veterans alive fuck who said well probably remain a mercedes city for a good few years yet and secure the livelihood of countless taxi drivers and mechanics but eventually the almost indestructible stroke eights and fin tails will have to be retired. perhaps they will then be able to place by the successor models

the 123124. but someday it will all come to an end new cars have too many electronic parts for the inventive repair artists here some of these workhorses might then make the return journey to germany as sought after collector's items. may. be telling india. which to use the cease fire agreement in search of puerto rico and for the delicious courier ground urban farmers are preventing the most spices from being gone into. the desert as on land to fall similar to the norm

a future activists are also taking their protests online force american door spokeswoman for the berlin fridays for a future group that's a real challenge. it was we didn't know how to raise attention if we're not able to protest on the streets but i think we've managed to get through anyway with online tools. they have been hosting web seminars on climate justice digital meetings with scientists and have been using twitter and instagram as communication platforms simmias says this is all giving them a chance to strengthen their international network. it's my lords and i'm almost as i'm most of it was the muslims 5 plus one i'm on my son picked louis mo tom was one of the moderators of the global digital climate strike lifestream. he was able to draw almost a quarter of a 1000000 viewers for him the protests are essential in the fight against climate

change change happens when everyone who comes to the demonstrations tries to introduce systematic change in their field in their industry and tries to imagine what such a transformation might look like i find that personally totally motivating whenever i think about the coming years. but ever since the pandemic broke out climate change has been on the backburner. we asked people how important it is for berliners today that's not to do this not the most it's important but right now people are more worried about dying than about politics or climate policy with a clean up all the theme of my time and change has taken a backseat but we shouldn't forget about it both issues are important one is important right now on the other for the future for our children to be. oh we couldn't. but activists like samir a say action on the climate crisis cannot be postponed. the quartet cope in 1000

a sufficient transport network to make the most of the deal the agreement could help millions of africans with any great change comes disruption. the catch was meager and to make it almost sure had to go far out last night where the fishermen used to fish has been cut off by the military the kenyan government is spending a huge deep sea port off their island in the indian ocean. the want. from. people in law move make a living from tourism and fishing but they're victims of a new era in the age of africa's streatch trade zone lemuel is set to become an international law just 6 enter soon the excavators and dump trucks will be replaced by cranes thousands of shipping containers will pass through a brand new port service to kazuko who runs the mammoth project says new rows in

the biggest in the world every african country except it is taking. part it creates a domestic market of 1200000000 people would have. no job opportunities brings africa close it's just that a. little dependence on the world bank estimates that free trade could help 30000000 africans escape poverty but it's going to be a long road here at the construction site in la more workers earn just 4 euro a day a pittance and they're working for chinese construction companies china has long recognized how strong the african market will be. bigger institute is a research group in hamburg that focuses on developing regions overall is responsible for africa is china helping create something in africa that's going to

fairly benefit both sides. thank you ben and in happy end. to talk about china it's always a mixed reaction in africa although china has been able to contribute to infrastructure development on the continent and i think when it comes to any foreign you know relationship between nations. countries all this think of themselves 1st and i think africans should always put themselves 1st in negotiating all relating with any nations china he would so and china and he you have you know talked about the idea supports strongly support said yes yes he and i think we should do that in fact is when does a grim and he comes you know in finance and comes into practice i want to see that in practice we want to see them and they go she's in with africa as

africans but little when will it become a real free trade zone i mean those tariffs still have to fall to the wayside. yeah there's a lot of conversation about amount that i threw out the you know the pandemic how one can demand as a country you know all the yes yes he has been moving around africa is talking 2 minutes doesn't trade different groups brad and bags. you know private enterprises so we show that there is a way to create revenues too soon to ensure that the time it is and use hopefully would see this in the future but there is a lot of balance going on to ensure that that happens and until those conversations on the new and negotiations on comes to completion i will not know exactly when this good is going to happen but the the expectation is that tyreese will be reduced and 90 percent of trade between the continents and this is what we are it's
