against correct rulers and dictatorship, the hope for more security, more freedom, more dignity, have their hopes been fulfilled. 10 years after the era spring, rebellion starts june 7th on d. w. the the the we are living during the most extraordinary time in history. for fully electric give my read the auto and mobility show me this week. a rough and tumble all electric raise

a lot of power desert adventure. and that's also for a good cause to raise awareness of some of the most critical environmental issues facing authentic and in another welcome developments. there's gender parity behind the wheel. we have half a woman, half of men in motorsport, we have 99 percent men. so i think definitely there is the need to have more women involved, the motor sports. we also look at the go to and yak, and all the electric s u, v that could become a serious challenger to the established competition. i think this might be the better the for less a world premiere from mercedes c q s is an all electric car that's been designed to ring in a new carbon neutral era. i think through technology, we have

a tremendous opportunity in the next decades to significantly lower the c o. 2 burden on the planet, the rev showing the way forward to saving the planet right now. the extreme, a race that the ends of the or the world's most extreme off road motor rates takes place of 5 locations on our planet where the natural environment has been devastated. the could be what you do and it's a lot of power. it's a lot of real racing. i mean, some of the greatest names in the world are involved to raise awareness for some of

the most critical environmental issues facing planning pretty much everything is different about extreme. there are more women drivers that in most other races the courses are more unfamiliar and more extreme. and such in hospitable terrain is not for the faint hearted. the composition means that there's risk and with race and sometimes the discretion, the you know, what, the reason you think that the 3 me mean taking it to the limit in places already well beyond their time is running out. but board may have one of the answers. this is the desert in saudi arabia. it was here that the organizer hands through a dog from spain, gathered the big names of international motor sports for the 1st leg of the new extreme e series in april. to me,

the race was to use the power of sports to bring people and bring companies and partners, and over the regional time it actually the lead of international motorsports. want to do their bit 7 time formula, one world champion lewis hamilton set up his own team for extreme. that's something that's very close to my heart. something that i'm really passionate about. so now it gives an opportunity to, to me, to be so mean to be merged. my love for motor racing together with my love for the . yeah, there's also 19 time rally world champion in the field about this you or somebody leads me. i mean, the way for the future off was another form or f one world champion also found the m drive for his team. it seems definitely new experience with nico ross fair and also organize the team for the sport as such

a big power and reach that it is the duty of sport to also leverage that reach for doing good for changing the world for the better. and that's what we're nearing of the motor sports championship organizer alejandro a gog spent years touring the planet to find the most desolate backdrop at the ends of the earth. we have started looking for places from the forged rain forest of the amazon basin to the glacier, years of the arctic extreme. he hopes to draw attention to places threatened by global warming and environmental devastations. lasers are, are melting and we will have some like the race cars making the racing in front of the wall of the not. so these will be like a little bit like the game of thrones. the ice will, we can have, i think some of the most, that we are racing back up that no one has ever seen. ah,

the who's, i think motor sport needs to be closer to society's. most important you need to reflect what society is and interest ab, we have half a woman, half of men in motorsport, we have 99 percent men. so i think definitely there is the need for my point of view to have more women of all the motors for women make up half of the starting field, a big opportunity for the latest generation of female racing drivers. you know, i think we're giving this to jump to really high level. you know, all of us. i don't think there's chance without the extreme e could revolutionize motorsports were successful. women drivers remain a rarity. one such exception use a climb. smith, who won the parents, dot com or rally in 2001 after my success and every year,

i would love to see more women doing exactly the same. what i issues and the problem is to come to this point. it's very difficult and know with this new theory, half of the few minutes and they, they have a chance to show their potential clients made as one of extreme ease organizers. she designs the courses building temporary race tracks in the wilderness. each team consists of a male and female driver to swap places halfway through the stage. over a series of qualifiers, 9 teams compete for one of the 3 places in the final and it was a good make. so it's not like the men of the process and the women of the flow is not at all. so we have them in, in the final and saudi arabia, australia, molly taylor, of team ross, they're just the checkered flag. one of the great things about what we did put the helmet on. it doesn't matter what gender you are and that's kind of the way through much growing up and completing the rally. and these will be fantastic for the,

for the sport. and for the show was on because extreme me is all social time and it's the stuff of hollywood use to get as many people as possible on board austin winning director fisher stevens is developing entirely new tv formats for the sports will create something that's very unique and that we can tell stories in the most kind of vulnerable and important ecological parts of the, of the planet. adventure and data to child has formed a team of scientists to develop concepts to regenerate damaged ecosystems, which is where the races take place. i want to be seen finding communities that we can help and support and leaving those communities with possibility and

opportunities. not just going in and saying, hey, look us, we're having fun in your environment and leaving a child is also responsible for race logistics. a container ship was converted into a floating static to get the teens to the venues. so, equipped with green technology is still can get from a to b without fossil fuel. which is why critics ask if it makes sense to stage raise that, generates emissions in the worlds most remote places. some people may argue, but you've got to take all these people. there is not really a good thing. well, if it's a spotlight and really widens that, the money people that aware of just some of the challenges and away says the tense in the middle of this, as you know, you need to show to, to make of are all the topics they stay for participant say the critics are living in the past is always critical for everything.

and then if you, if you don't want to, you want to be 0 emission in the world and you have to live in a case. so unfortunately, we're all going to have to do a step in a direction to be able to really impact the greater good in the big way and to generate huge benefits for all of us. that won't happen if we all live in the game . today. i'm proud to announce the launch of my own racing team. robert extreme races. this is x 44 equity for a new kind of writing. nico roster, and louis hamilton made headlines and formula one with their head to do now their teams are added again in the 1st grade team roster. had it from the fastening each other. again, an extremely se, most is not a drivers that's going to be great and. busy make no mistake, none of us come seconds. but at the same time what i liked too much is that the more intense i get,

the more we will be able to contribute for the greater good. because the more visibility we will create the championships for the issues that you're facing in those locations. so the show must go on to the end of the year. what do you think? we can wait for your comments. if you want more rep, check out our youtube channel. if you want regular features about new cars and car culture and about mobility around the world. read can make you very happy vintage classics and future tech or just some of the exciting content waiting for you. subscribe to us if you tube slash

d w rep and you'll always be up to speed me what's up guys? new day, new car time for s today with these go down in yet. and i know a lot of you will have been eagerly waiting for it and rightfully so, because i think this might be the better idea for why is that? we'll get to that in a 2nd. let's roll the b b, w, check subsidiaries. scotto brought out the n. yeah, just a few weeks after the market launch of the id for unlike volkswagen flagship and you'll be the n. yeah. is not built in germany, china or north america, but at scope as main plant in me, a lot of bullets left in the czech republic. the area is probably one of

the most important cause for the goal in recent years. and you could say it's actually the 1st re, electric car, bicycle and quite fittingly, the name in york comes from the irish word india. and that means sort of life. of course, before the end yard, there was the city go e i v. but that one was still based on the w. s. m to be platform. and that's a platform that was used for combustion engine cars. this one, the new york now sits on the new m. e. be platform, just like the w id for. and that platform was specifically designed for all electric cars. and that's why on paper the id for n b n ya look quite similar. comes in 3 versions with rear wheel drive and with most running at 109132 or $150.00 kilowatts

and exclaimed range of 537 kilometers for our test. we drove the guy v 80 with the most powerful electric engine and the largest battery. here there are strong similarities to the id for now, just as my colleague among you has mentioned during his test drive the id for that was also equipped with the 77 kilowatt hour, big battery, and 204 horse power electric engine. the car is super silent, and that's also the case in here just as in the id for the scope. the engineers have done a really great job when it comes to insulating and dampening now electric cars are always pretty silent. but in here the sites wind noise is coming from the a to the and your typical tire on rolling noise this, you don't really hear anything at all. so the right conflict is super high in year

. not you can feel the weight of the car. i mean, we're talking 2.3 tons of course electric car, big battery and that see it's quite low in the cost. so that's good for low center of gravity when taking some tons but still after the initial punch, when you start to accelerate, you really can view the weight just like the id for the ac goes from 0 to 108.6 seconds. sandra has a top speed limited at 160 kilometers an hour more family cruiser than race car. people looking for more performance should probably wait for the 80 x, or even the r s version, which are planned for later this year and will feature more powerful. the electric engines and all wheel drive. so while the new for and the new york tech pretty interchangeable,

the design definitely this us a lot, 3 w created a whole new design language for it's all electric id line. very organic, looking with almost no sharp edges go on the other hand, they, when the other, all meaning the n yak is clearly recognizable as, as go down a lot of sharp edges and overall chunky or appearance and, and s u, v, meet station wagon crossover design, but at 4.65 meters long and 1.62 wide, the ac is actually a bit more aerodynamic. and the id for his trunk is 40 leaders bigger than it's german counterpart. of course, in the end it comes down to personal preference, which one would you prefer? but personally, i like the look of the more go to says the n. yeah. can sure i get up to 125 kilowatt depending on battery size. that means that at

a fast or the largest battery can go from 5 to 80 percent, and 38 minutes at home. the n yeah. can be reached to get a while box with up to 11 kilowatt a c in 6 to 8 hours. now one topic b, n ya, that's completely different than the idea for is recuperation in the yard. just like in the id for you've got to driving moles the and b, and in b you will always get the maximum level of recuperation, just like in the id for and indeed the con normally will fail. but here in the, in york, you also get these shifting pebbles that you won't get in the id for. and with these you can change the amount of recuperation in 3 levels. and i think that's a very nice feature of course say in the id for that's the more simplistic system

as the car, pretty much just has you. you either get 3 cooperation or you can say, but i think giving the customer the choice is always the better way of doing this. now when we are talking about one pad, the driving the yard, just like the id for, won't get to a complete stop. when you take your foot of the accelerator, as it will always treat the long, no matter the level of recuperation you're driving and so to come to a full stop. when you are approaching a traffic light, you have to put your foot on the brake to further conserve range, especially in the winter when the heater is on the n yak can be equipped with a heat. but as with the id for that doesn't come standard. let's have a look at the interior and for me that's one of the points are probably the most

important point. why i think the m yeah. isn't the better the for, don't get me wrong. the interior in the id for looks very nice, very modern. little bit futuristic, but depending on where you look, you could find some hot plastic parts and that was the case with we w in the past. in here on the other hand, if you take a look, you've got a nice deck with this, ditching. everything is soft just, i mean, if you would come out of this logo and have a look, you could think you were sitting in an audi. it's really, really nice to look and to feel. so. yeah, i just think interior wise, the new york is had plus the big plus thumbs up for buttons because yes, as i said in the id for they try to go this futuristic route. so everything patch but well it might look nice, but when it comes to functionality, it's maybe not the best and it looks like go to things so as well because here,

now you've got at least some buttons to quickly access for some of the climate change the driving molds and also here the steering wheel and the id for you had some touch sensitive surfaces that well again look nice, but when you try to steer you accidentally with touch them and well turn on the steering heating in here, you've got matters easy to use and 12, that's the way to go. i a thing, at least the seats are available in sustainably processed, recycled or natural materials. scotto came up with 6, the magically distinct interiors for the n yak inspired by real world living rooms . in addition to a 5.3 inch digital cockpit, it has a central display measuring up to 13 inches from the outside. yeah, that big is comparable to an octavia or it's a little smaller than an octavia in fact, but in here you've got the space of the big kodiak, or super. it's crazy. yeah,

you should have all the space you really need back here. and of course, also back here, you can find these little clever details, like for example, a little pocket for your phone, a little phone hold. when you want to watch a movie. and of course, and $231.00 socket with $150.00 watts. that's enough, for example, to charge your notebook where driving the in the end, the new york features everything that already made the need for a very nice electric car. super silent, big battery, long range, high driving comfort and space wise. everything you could ask for in comparison, it comes down to personal preference. and as i said at the beginning, for me things like the s u, v station wagon cross over design, the quantity plus that might not look as modern,

but definitely the more functional option plus the option to change recuperation levels. and of course, the price make the, the better id for the price is for the guy be started just under $34000.00 euros a few 1000 less than the cheapest id for our test car. the ioc id, 80 starts at just under $44000.00, still several 100 less than a comparable id for pro. this is the budding new star on the mercedes guide. the each us, the flagship of the car makers, electrified challenge to tesla and ko it's world premier was in stuttgart this spring. this is really

a car for the world. we can see that the electric segment and the demand for battery electric vehicles is developing a lot of momentum, a luxury car with a diesel style range of 1st on the german market, boasting and executive sized battery that translates into 770 kilometers. the gas class is always the letter that stay the flagship car in our product portfolio. and e q is the sub brand for electric intelligence performance, an extraordinarily low drag and handsome looks at always played a major role in the car makers, s class model. i. and the mercedes team are evidently proud of this sumptuously powered and styled automobile. the u. s. ushers in a new era for us. and this one bowed to sign. very spectacular,

very futuristic. was an opportunity to in a way reinvent the invention. and it goes by the logic form follows function and sustainability to of course, time with plans to make its entire fleet of models, carbon neutral by 2039. over the next 4 years alone, the company will be investing over 70000000000 euros in r n d. but we'll dimer manage to overtake tesla in the last segment for decades on and we dominate this segment. and what we know from our customers that buy in that segment, they love this proposition of mercedes high tech meets luxury. and now we have here, high tech meets luxury in a 0 mission battery electric vehicle. e q. s is the 1st merk, the feature, a carbon neutral battery from energy sourcing to production and reduce. the aim is minimizing emissions and maximizing those green credentials will be q. s. bring

about a long overdue image. change for the car maker. we're going to picked up speed and i think through technology, we have a tremendous opportunity in the next decades to significantly lower the c o 2 burden on the planet. ah, the mercedes e q s is due to hit the market in august. prices in europe are expected to start as just under $100000.00 euros. ah, all the regions, major regions of the world are picking up speed in terms of adoption of electrification, especially in germany. we had a phenomenal 2nd half of 2020. and i've started with a bang with our battery electric vehicles earnings this year. we're up 50 percent. that's 6600000000 euros from the 1st feedback that we have received from customers around the world. we're cautiously optimistic that this will be another hit will be

e q, s really mark the dawn of a new era. that's the progress this week. hope you had as much fun as we did. they say on and off the road. and the next time. the news ah, the news, the news? the news

the news, the news, the news ah, to the point to clear positions international perspectives. the past 10 days, i've seen the worst violence between israelis and palestinians in years, a deadly flare up between the israeli army and the militant group that has peoples a world over asking middle east crisis. what can stop the cycle that's on the, to the point in 30 minutes on the w,

elemental forces of the ocean and dangerous army. more and more people live in coastal areas where emergency every 2nd, county chosen are getting to the bottom of this natural phenomenon. but what protection is there against scenes or from in 75 minutes on w, w. crime fighters, the car, back most radio dramas, continues the seasons. a story focus on have speech, cholera, prevention and sustainable charcoal production. all episodes are available online. and of course you can share and discuss on e w, africa's facebook page and other social media platforms. crime fighters to noon. now the power point

me, when i come from, i never where have you grown up in brazil, the sun was always the man since the force of your board for math. when i moved to germany as a 10 year old, i want to click on tv that will stay how i see the world because in german now, but the sight of a good time is a fine instead of a deep voice extra. my disguise seemed absolutely incredible. i realized how language shape, thinking, how to finish them for i'm not only mental images, put our whole percent of the world inside my life. and was one of the reasons i became a journalist. i mystery kelly and i use my words to help with intercoastal understandings . my name is l'aquila and i work at

the the ah was who's the w news lied for berlin. relief in the middle east, after our fire takes effects of israel and clean victory. on the 1st day of the truce in garza palestinians are finally able to rest easy after 11 days of some bartlet and begin the mammoth task of reconstruction. also coming up more shots in more arms world leaders convene in rome, committing to ramp up access to corona virus vaccines. some countries still struggle with a covered surge exceed makers.
