cut. cut. cut cut. this is the w. news live from thailand so just deliver a blow to chancellor angela merkel's conservative party results from the 2 states lection show the c.d.u. is losing support to look at how the outcome might affect germany's upcoming federal election also coming up the federal and fear of death and fear of death in the streets of me and mark dozens uphill battle to. cut. doesn't sell fear of dying while the army is cut down on dissent in one of the

bloodiest days since the military coup get protesters on following to continue to assist us. and in good as they go full of bad outcome to live sick who are hoping to stay just 2 points behind the leaders by the true against cranks that means buildings around. 100 thank you for joining us 2 german states have voted with one message dissatisfaction with chancellor merkel's christian democrats earlier results from sunday's polls in the southwest states of drugs and burton byrd and ryan and plucks unaids so very different outcomes the regional elections gave an indication of how voters might act in germany's national election later this year if so merkel's conservative party should be worried the c.d.u.

has the support in both states. well let's take a close look at the results right now and splats netas home of byron tech which helped develop the 1st covert 19 vaccine and here the incumbent center left party s p d has retained the lead with 36 point one percent of the votes the c.d.u. the main opposition party is 27 point one percent down 4.7 percent to 8 points and in 3rd place the right wing populist a 58.4 percent last 4.2 percentage points then you have environmentalist greens are sitting at 9.4 percent and another coalition partner the business friendly f.d.p. returned 5.6 percent and the regional party free voters won 5.2 percent now the party's failed to pass the 5 percent threshold to win seats let's take a look at the results in the neighboring state of but in virgin birth it's

a well known for its car industry and also home to porsche and miss eighty's the main governing party here the greens are up slightly by 332.7 percent their coalition partner chancellor angela merkel's conservative c.d.u. are at 24 percent down 3 percentage points among opposition parties the right wing populist dean lost votes at 9.7 percent and the center left s.p.d. is at 11 point one percent the business friendly f.t.p. rises to 10.5 and other parties fell to pos the 5 percent threshold well d.w. political correspondent julie dooley was important to see those results as they were announced and sent us this update on what the outcome will mean for the major parties. it's a night of celebrations for the green party here and by then we can back after a very positive result in the senate elections the party co-leader analemma bear

book has said that this shows that the voters still have trust in the party even in a difficult time such as this of the corona virus pandemic she also said now is the time to push forward for policies to fight climate change something that winfrey man the state premier here involved in wittenberg with the greens has said he also wants to put forward putting climate change at the center of talks he's going to lead with the other parties to try to form a government coalition it's been a bad night for anglo-american c.d.u. conservative party and the general secretary of the party paul simi york has said he attributes this to the mass procurement scandal that has rocked the party over the last couple of weeks but also with growing discontent with the coronavirus policies carried on by angle america's government there is a slow rollout of the vaccine and the current lockdown that isn't really helping to bring down cases looking at the s.p.d. the social democrats they see some optimism ahead with

a chance to form government coalitions also without the c.d.u. while sunday's elections well regional but they're likely to have repercussions also across germany the country is gearing up for national elections later this year that's it was the worst possible start of the election year for chancellor conservatives in both wealthy states they significantly lost support among voters resulting in their worst election results there ever. in the wine growing region of rhiannon paletta net that means they will not be part of the state government in the neighboring autoharp of burton back they depend on their past coalition partner the greens who are more successful and have other options to form a government. and this is just disappointing it's disastrous that's something we have to admit openly and of course i will take responsibility for it but this city

you will also have to address why we have been losing public support back for 10 years now. and she was the main impact victim back 4 years. when casting their vote the majority of people said the economy was the most important topic for them followed by the environment and social security but of course the pandemic also left its mark only a 3rd of the voters were satisfied with the government's handling of the pandemic so mackerels conservatives were already under pressure a corruption scandal involving conservative lawmakers accepting thousands of euros for promoting overpriced masks then made the situation even worse so is all of this a preview of what will happen in september when all germans had to the polls know but politicians of all parties know it could provide a clue as to what we're all over the country may be thinking. this is true this is a great start for us in this major election year and will hopefully be able to

capitalize on this momentum but for. one more reason to worry for germany's conservatives for the majority of voters the most important motivation to vote for a party was their top candidate and that is an issue that conservatives has not made a decision on so far with machall on her way out there heading into the september's federal elections without their most popular face and so far they have made a decision on who will succeed her. well let's take a look now at some of the other news making headlines around the world the british or any women detained in teheran has appeared in court to face charges of propaganda against the regime now if there is a car evacuate and supporters say the charges are politically motivated she was released from jail last week after completing a 5 year sentence for plotting to overthrow the government. and police in the

netherlands have used water cannon and buttons to disperse protesters more than 2000 people gathered in the hague on the eve of dutch parliamentary elections months of restrictions have fueled growing anger with authorities. and spanish police have found $600.00 kilos of cocaine in a nice time raided the capital madrid and also to other cities officials also conversely to cash luxury vehicles and weapons 12 people were arrested including a lawyer who allegedly gave advice on how to do the money from selling those drugs . and it's been another day of violence and killing reports of dozens of deaths across the country it comes after the largest city yangon so heavy as protests state media is reporting that martial law has been imposed in parts of the country. a group of protesters charged the well armed military jointer on the

streets of young go on armed with just sticks and knives the result tragic sunday saw one of the bloodiest days of protests in me and since the military coup began reports suggest dozens of protesters died state run media said a police officer was also killed in the clashes and announced that the military was declaring martial law into young gone townships are now in a state administrative council gives the young go on regional commander administrative and judicial martial law or power over the to tell ships and young going region this will enable the younger military command to enforce security in force the rule of law and ensure tranquility more effectively. the move came after china called on me and mine to protect chinese interests and people in the country after reports to chinese financed businesses were set on fire by unknown attackers

many protesters believe china is giving support to the me and my military. after 6 weeks of demonstrations protest is refused to give up despite the obvious threat to their own safety and many feel they owe it to those who have already died. i saw the fallen heroes give their lives i don't want them to think that i am afraid and just want to stay at home i'm going out on the streets as a citizen as a woman so that i can stand on the side of justice. and that was good. but with the death toll drastically rising it's hard to say how long these protesters will be able to hold out the. now anger is growing in britain over the police handling of a vigil in honor of much a victim sara ever odd people once again defied a ban on gatherings on sunday this time outside new scotland yard headquarters of

london's metropolitan police they're upset at how police handled an earlier demonstration the violence women face every day as well a local police officer has been accused of killing the 33 year old everett earlier d.w. spoke to amanda agreed on women's equality party in the u.k. and we also heard is there's a deep rooted problem in the police force with women's issues and also massaging me . i would immediately acknowledge how deep the problems are institutional massaging the lie within the police force you can see it in the way policing is carried out you can see it in the way that we have appallingly low conviction rates and charge rates for rape and sexual violence in the police have a role to play in that and you can see it and how poorly the police perform when they have to investigate their own officers those there was a super complaint produced by the center for women's justice which examines several

cases showing time and time again in all sorts of different ways that the police just can't be relied on to be objective and honest about what's going on within the force i would also open up a conversation between women who feel betrayed by the police so that police get an understanding of what it's like and what to be a woman in the city hoping that the police will protect them and use that to inform the strategies and culture change that is desperately long over due within that institution. now to the printer stayed away at leipzig is the all club with a chance of denying by in munich a nice consecutive title leipsic was hoping for a 7th consecutive renders time against frank but they only managed to draw. after they were dumped out of the champions league by liverpool in midweek like 6 were hoping to avoid the dreaded european hangover and rack up yet another been does legal win to keep their title challenge on track after

not alone. this is why it's your to guide them and assist them in the process these immigrants came together 2 years ago and created the informal refugee camp. ever since they refused to move insisting to stay as close as possible to the united states they came from haiti central america and also from parts in mexico where criminality is high. a total of $25000.00 immigrants seeking asylum have been stuck in mexico for years president biden's administration has now allowed them to wait for their hearings in the united states. for them. this is the culmination of years of waiting and for sister norma it's an honor to be part of it and free and get i'm also here. finally this is so beautiful i'm tired it has been a day full of emotions and very exhausting and to flee the mood for these families they have suffered a lot and now the united states is opening its doors for them. but i

among these rebel fighters many of them experienced abuses teenagers. we're on foot the beauty of the landscape cannot distract from the constant fear of kidnap or being caught up in fighting. as soon as we get close the rebel militia sends an escort to take us to that base. one of them is mama for either she joined the militia almost 20 years ago after another group attacked her village the man killed her parents with machetes 6 of them raped her she was just 15 she'd already been married the same group that killed her husband. i felt defeated my life had defeated me i saw what they had done to me and how they killed my family i couldn't continue my life like it had been and this is

a small village so i decided to become a fighter and drive them out of what was. given the chance she'd shoot them on the spot she says when a former teacher began recruiting people to take revenge she joined him many in her group survived similar. it's a militia of traumatized damaged young people. they killed my father they killed everyone in my family that's the only reason i became a fighter. the offer to revenge and survival they control around 20 villages in the area security for food in a deal they say is consensual but we saw local people running in fear from them the idea of consent is complicated for everyone. it's only when we are alone that mama

for either says this. i hear that other people run away from the group but i think how can i run i have no one to help me i have no land i have no one who could help me build a life. again. she would like to trade her gun for the life she had before as a farmer negotiate the most of the i would have had a good life with my husband one like other people have but that was taken away from me so when i got that. now she pours what hope she has into her children that they will have choices one day. despite its many cruel virus creases madrid's restriction so for relaxed the spanish capital is becoming the new favorite destination of lockdown we return from all over europe. meeting friends and enjoying

drinks in the sun a rare pastime these days but possible in madrid and that's why the spanish capital has become a refuge for young tourists from france it's so so depressing being in a country that is nothing's open it's gloomy all day you have to be back there's a curfew it at 6 you can even see your friends are no cafes there's no you know you can't sit down with anyone you literally can't do anything in in france. in madrid coronavirus restrictions are less strict than in other parts of europe and negative p.c.r. test was enough for n.z. to demand t.v. to come here she didn't have to quarantine and also brought a friend i come here there's there's friends there is. to mazing it's a dream come true. a dream that theodore start and i have come to be have also precede the students live in germany and are spending a few days here they planned the trip with friends knowing that germany has advised

its population to avoid travelling tyrus countries. refute my vision be initially somehow you feel bad if you travel because other people are self isolating and you're not supposed to travel at the moment. but i don't think you can stay at home for a whole year either. we want to see the world while we're in the prime of our lives . during the day the students explore the city in the evenings they stay at home they say they feel safer keeping to themselves others feel differently madrid's police sometimes have to break up illegal parties held after curfew with participants ignoring current contract restrictions which is ideal for the spread of the virus this party was organized by french tourists. illegal parties also worry dr laura sons in the end they all contribute to more

infections. in america so we already have to be very careful with family members and in our everyday lives unnecessary contact has to be avoided it. the young people we met this afternoon in madrid i think both can work being responsible and enjoying the freedoms of life we do all the p.c.r. test and everything we wear the mask when we have to we don't want to bother spanish people you know we just want to leave again and in france we're going to do that from now major it is one of the few cities in europe that still lies some leeway though that could change at any time.

a quest to conquer the world. the neo 87 is a sports sedan of the super live a variety. it comes with a 1000 kilometer range from one single charge regardless of the weather. it's also accompanied by a world's 1st battery swapping system. packed with $648.00 horsepower it makes the dash to 100 kilometers per hour in 3.9 seconds. neo's visionary c.e.o. has grand plans for the empty 7 c. it's a 2nd living room with cutting edge technology. to a big factor in those plans it's a combination of digital tech artificial intelligence and a committed community. colegio i'd like to futuristic aspect and the design all very true it's a leading global brand in electric vehicles almost songs that we hope to launch in

europe as well since you've walked. and it was with global reach in mind that william lee unveiled his latest model in chengdu in early 2021 e.t. 7. isn't she a few. this car is the purest example yet of the futuristic design. tesla is targeting young tech savvy urbanites and building an entire community or. it's brand. was those we're new drivers we're part of the neo family. it's made in china it's chinese people who are building neo cars which. i know day is an annual extravaganza open to all car owners and the company spares no expense recruiting some of china's biggest celebrities for the event like rock

singer langfang. but the real star of the show is another man founder and c.e.o. william lee. hello everyone. faith and courage are what drive us welcome i am william lee. lee founded nia when 2014 when he was already a self-made billionaire he made his fortune from various internet startups including a web site for trading used cars the key to his success was being more innovative and wiser to developments than the competition news stocks soared over the course of 2020 as did that of tesla. the story of william lee is similar to that of a mosque the founder of his american rival. more so than established carmakers neo invested in a sense of community among its customers while relatively new in china it has

proved to hit drivers have set up their own clubs like this one in quito we like them that compared to tesla neo is a brand that really understands chinese people. club members organized outings and charity events and communicate regularly with the company neo has an active commitment to its users as customers are called a lot of owners install an app on their phone that keeps them in constant. in tact with neo and in many cases queries are answered by the c.e.o. himself. china is home to the world's biggest market for electric cars and one boosted by government subsidies in the mud you'll you'll get this shit there i chose it because it's more enjoyable to drive. that. you don't have to worry about anything. are built in neo software enables users to link up with popular apps like

we chat and the digital assistant know me like i'll be. back and over the driver's window. all of this is intended to appeal primarily to the young online generation or as i mentioned. we believe that our model will be in demand in any country with a creative and upbeat lifestyle. down you go some in the. box lunch ted is a german engineer now based in china he's the chief of technology at center on automation ensuite shows and was one of neo's 1st customers. for 2 years now he's been driving an e.s.a. might china's 1st premium as. for this call is. $650.00 p. cost per walk this is actually. neo was one of the 1st companies to make racing

cars for formula in 2018 it moved on to designing s.u.v.s for the chinese market targeting well off families with prices ranging between 457-0000 euros. the new $87.00 is aimed at a sporty or clientele it boasts $650.00 horsepower and a song. state battery with 150 kilowatt hours in the biggest version. neo promises a range of 1000 kilometers or more which has caused quite a stir in the automotive industry after all that's a figure no other electric car has ever managed. and portended lot to be our main competitors for now our traditional combustion engine cars in the same price bracket if we compare ourselves to them i don't see any

disadvantages whether it's the performance the integration of intelligent systems interior design the digital experience autonomous driving features or our service quality. i think we're very competitive on all fronts. those are your forgot it's in there you'll see. the new 7 is not yet available for testing but functionally instead treats us to a sneak preview in his 2 year old e s 8 it already has some of the same autonomy as driving features like lane keeping assist technology that enjoys state subsidies as does the infrastructure. use it always and for sure will rule if necessary but i know what is possible and what so i can already see when it's a little bit tricky. never look willing. to actually know we've changed

the expressway so you're not doing anything else everything for whether my feet on the pedals and all my hands here. but i'd love to live pretty well. but for electric car makers range remains the biggest challenge and this is where the chinese company has found a neat solution unable in customers to swap empty batteries for full ones. all right this moment you see we have you know to cross in front of one is in so we have to read in the contract they're also 12344. currently the company has a little more than 200 stations around china most of them in big cities or alongside highways with an eye on people making long distance trips for shorter journeys cars can be refueled and charging stations the battery swap takes less

than 10 minutes it's fully automated with the empty unit being removed and replaced with a new one in a procedure that no super charger no matter how fast can compete with. new also offers its batteries on a rental basis which allows customers to avoid the financial risk of a battery defect or failure. on the road to success we have a number of algorithms to analyze the batteries help if a battery is not in good condition it's withdrawn from the cycle that's an advantage of our swap system we can guarantee our customers that they will always have a healthy battery in their car so. it's but longer trips within china still need to be carefully planned and broken down into stages so as not to exceed the given range swamp stations in rural areas are few and far between. in january. embarked on an adventurous 11 day trek from his current residence in

eastern china to the tibetan plateau in the west of the country covering over 6000 kilometers. this is actually it is 3 and already 4300 meter height and one morning we have some snow and ice on the road it was so beautiful. and up here to the neo did just fine shlaim state had discussed his plans beforehand with the company. and wherever he needed to charge up they have a team to help out something that really impressed the german engineer. a level of service in line with meals ambitious goal to become the company with the highest customer satisfaction worldwide in the automotive industry. even in the night to us the people they always have some people from the service they can give you some support. but as faithful as many fans are the company

wants to see a lot more of them when. the new york community is getting bigger and bigger last year we added 43728 new car owners in total we've already exceeded 75000. that said the numbers on she had that impressive for a market that sounds more than $20000000.00 cars a year even looking at the $1300000.00 new electric cars sold in china any willy neo is a minor player. sluggish sales almost lead the company to bankruptcy 2 years ago prevented only by a government bailout. when. we were facing the most complicated situation that a start of can face and we're grateful to our users for standing with us and difficult times function. there's also been technical setbacks one time a neo was stuck in the middle of a road in downtown beijing due to an untimely system update a p.r.

disaster and there's another issue. everything is in chinese but it does give me the opportunity to learn to use more and the battle because i always learning but doing what. i think now it is called 2 years and. you still have a new person believed to have it is interesting is that it's a little bit funny. he also cites a few other minor flaws such as the air conditioning controls but overall he is very much a satisfied meal user. the company is now planning to expand into europe probably 1st in norway and then to bigger countries this car has all. to be successful in germany i'm a german engine you know i'm. goofy to us but this is one

of the best cause i ever drove. you for the best. and once the car goes on sale in europe. might finally get its english touch screen display. when i believe customers in europe will be able to buy our cars by the end of 2021 asia europe and then the world's william levy has high hopes for the neo e.g. 781000 kilometer range together with a solid state battery a winning combination that no other electric car can currently match.

today. paul will see 40 recharges the 1st ever fully electric paul. x e 40 recharge stepped into a segment that is already heavily crowded so walking it off to stand out from the competitive is what i want to check out today 1st up how does it fare in terms of battery and. we got features 78. 75 get a one. they can effectively be used. 414. and if you mostly dry in the city you will get even. also experienced during my drive here. it is among the top in that segment. that compares favorably with the 262320 kilometers reached by other electric s.u.v.s. or opel. to match that 500 figure

you have to move to bigger models like the mercedes q.c. . for. so what about the output of the car to. one of the front one of the $200.00 fall so. the car can make them from 0 to 100. 5 seconds sounds good on paper even. crazy and. speed up 180. it's. the. be able to go foster than 180. speaking of which not so long ago the stereotype of geography teachers cars so if

you were going to have a crash there was no better car to be and. safety has been paramount for the swedish company ever since its debut model in 1027 and that sterling reputation has been maintained over the decades. but with cars growing in size from one generation to the next they also grew in weight and speed. so with road safety still a priority volvo boldly announced that all. it's 2021 model year cars will have a top speed limited to 180 kilometers per hour. those are also equipped with the latest assist technologies to help prevent accidents from happening in the 1st place. back to our test the x e 40 can be recharged at a peak rate up $150.00 kilowatts with 40 minutes sufficient to reach 80 percent of capacity. many rivals struggle to charge with just $100.00 kilowatts means i

usually see. this with the poles to also peaches the same infotainment system which is very nice. and that similarity is no coincidence pollstar what's volvo's in-house tuning on before becoming a separate branding 2017 that said the x e $4060.00 are designed bears no relation to that of the full. plan is to sell 1000000 electrified media killed by 2025 what might sound like an ambitious plan at 1st glance it becomes the goal if you can see. that this does not only mean for cost but also a hybrid car that can drive it. but bobos environmental commitment is not just limited to. the sweetest car maker has set itself a target of becoming c o 2 neutral by 2040. by the history.

of the production side we intend to reduce the global supply chain and c o 2 emissions by a quarter plus by then our cars are said to have a 25 percent share of recycled materials adding all that together by 2025 we plan to have a 25 percent reduction in c o 2 emissions across all our operations at stuff that that suits my old schools and from sponsor. another part of the climate plan is shifting its entire production to electric cars by 2030 and a further bonus here is that most cars have minimal. car on the interior another great thing with the cars is the brake energy recuperation .

and if you take you. very much it's. braking i'll be honest but not all cars out there come with such an effective energy recovery center. it takes a few minutes to get used to because usually if you approach it. then you will take your foot off the gas and. if you take your. break in if you. even make it to the. way before. it's a feature that you rivals to the x.e. 40 can offer. by the way. stand still if you take your foot off the pedal most other cars will keep rolling along at around 7 kilometers an hour always been a car making the produced. jury

a car and you can also buy the price. but. i have to admit it is really driving in here. just. fantastic rain. at a high charging speed it also has an extremely quiet interior and pretty sporty acceleration on the downside the relatively high price tag and the cap on the speed of the pole star to for example can go up to 205 kilometers per hour with the same power train while some other volvo models topped out at $250.00.

racing along country roads at 111 kilometers an hour in the world's fastest that. china from britain set a new world record in 2008 doing this he specializes in the construction of completely crazy cars. anything is possible i do like exploring stuff i'm very curious about how things work and i really really do love sort of dragging things together they shouldn't be together could i make a call that was nothing like a cop and still be street legal. or say that some of the control over the serial will conventional and then you've got your indicator of stuff you're lying on the whole as well as all on here so everything is nice and close easy to get hold of you've made it into the guinness world records 8 times. because nobody else is really doing that so it's quite nice to be in that strange space but it's also about pushing the limits and just seeing how

far you can take that and i think you know that's really where i guess some of the record started to come in and i would say that the sofa record was just metric units were rather strange to me and said you know we don't you know if i see 7 miles i want to see if there is a way. the self was steered by a pizza pan and braked with the. gas pedal is knee operated and china earned his 1st world. when he drove the sofa around a track at a motor show and a spectator time 10. or so. like the world's fastest motorized bathroom fixtures and fittings are attached to a motorcycle frame when it comes to creating new forms of mobility china likes to

break with convention and simply let his imagination run wild creations like his mobile are the result he's constantly updating it. with. engineering product design he became famous as a car expert on a british t.v. show and. he's been constructing his machine near london. so this is a. this is money that most of us care. to know that i screamed on the old school to prevent his latest record pushing the all electric vehicle to a top speed of $100.00 in 1000 kilometers per hour wasn't a problem but there were

a few additional challenges. quite a few rules of the guinness down and then also for sure through the ice cream before and after the event and that was really the nub of the problem. that's because he had to develop a new technology to allow his face cream machine to run on battery power rather than diesel he's patented his cream ice cream machine and now it's being employed. in contention on ice cream trucks in the meantime his record has now been broken but his electric ice cream van project still gives him the drive to do more to actually change the world and make it a better place i mean who wants diesel fumes or their eyes get right i'm in the guinness world record thing is fun but there is now there's always been an engineering purpose behind it not part of the challenge it's just nice to do stuff for fun but at the same time a has a 2nd or 3rd purpose as well i think really that's really where this is going to

you go to do stuff because the music people but it has to have a point. and china could provide valuable impetus for new kinds of mobility the record breaking rubble is used to getting things moving even things that normally stay put. and we'll be getting things moving again with more revolutionary mobility next week on rec.
