sounds a remarkable come back from barty wasn't even sure she would be fit enough to compete in the tournament. she's australia 1st women champion for 41 years following in the footsteps of her idle e one glove. that's our time reporter is next with a look at the deteriorating press. freedom in hong kong for me and the entire team here in berlin. thanks for your company. ah, the the interest of the global economy, our portfolio w business beyond. here's a closer look at the project. to analyze this life for market dominance.

with d w. business beyond on youtube. can you hear me now? yes, we are in germany house that will bring you, i'm gonna call and he's never had before. right? just so what, what is what it was, who is medical really what move back to people who follows along the way. myers and critic to join us for macros left the ah ah boon and harry were journalists for apple daily, the most outspoken newspaper in hong kong. the painful farewell, the headline of its final edition. the popular paper was forced to shut amid china's tightening control over its free is to city. the

apple daily didn't change when hong kong has what does the papers fate tell us about the future of hong kong? this isn't a normal day at the office for poon, the 30 year old journalist has just learned that the newspaper he worked for for a decade would close at midnight. all day. i'm on hold. we just received notice that apple daily will publish its final edition tonight. so i'm rushing back to the office, although i still have a report pending publication with see if i can make it today. although were prepared for its ending, it still feels unreal. hail you that morning, another staff member from apple daily, an editor, aerial writer,

was arrested under hong kong national security law. it was imposed by beijing to outlaw act of some versions of session collusion and terrorism punishable by up to life in prison. all the people we know media workers are at risk, especially those from apple daily. all day. it's kind of expected, but journalists 30 minutes to that. what we don't want it to happen. poon is joined by harry, a photo journalist who's worked for apple daily for 7 years. what's your last assignment today? none, i'm off judy. i didn't expect things to end today. i regret that none of my photos will be in the final edition. i understand all the freezing of its assets made it almost impossible for apple daily to continue operating or even to pay a staff bubble. he is. i'm bringing my own camera with me to document the

historical moment. the ending is not ideal, but i understand the decision made by management because they care a lot about our safety through higher hold on. i as nightfall, more and more supporters come to bid a sentimental farewell. it's not just the paper that's coming to an end. all it's online content will also no longer be accessible in a few hours time clock. i'm glad it so, so i run a new door so many people read the newspaper and even traveled all the way out here to support us. but in the end, the only reason that force to apple daily to shot was government pressure because i thought it breaks my heart even more. hold on for both, i'd go. my last report was to test preservative and fast food. i knew it was published on the website that night i couldn't be added to the print edition was

there was no more room on sunday. my report survived for 3 hours and then vanished all we couldn't do much on the last day. or during the last few hours, we were still journalists. we fulfilled our duties to continue reporting on. you know, perhaps we won't find anywhere else is free to report to hear all the oil people. i haven't kept any printed record of my previous report. oil we want to . all of them had vanished. i don't think you want to be, but it's not enormous pity for me personally. i only lost a little hung home, but the whole of hong kong had locked numerous important pieces of news and history, as well as a large group of journalists, dejani. and that's what's most regretable. google was something a white 1000000 copies of apple daily's final edition were published a record high in this city of 7500000 people. the popular paper just marked its 26th anniversary 3 days before its closure. founded shortly before the former

british colony was handed over to china. apple daily had long been seen as an indicator of hong kong to free speech under patient rule. but it was also an outspoken thorn in the authority side. it's founder jimmy ly is currently in jail for organizing illegal protests and charged with collusion under the smithy national security law. last year we spoke to him right after police 1st rated apple daily's newsroom. i was saying with the ship, because this pace gave me everything. you know, i mean, death to this phrase. i'm very grateful for the what the say that given me, i told them that consider your own safety. you're conscious and you operate cation to that society. we are not asking you to be the marker was, you know, do whatever you think is the right thing to do. so we would just continue to do it and test the water. his media empire did carry on,

but was constantly tested a week before its closure. apple daly was dealt another blow. 5 executives were arrested reporters, computers were seized on that night. the remaining editorial board continued publishing. the massive raid was front page news than the government pros. it's assets putting the papers very survival at risk. even worse, 2 executives were brought to court for conspiracy of collusion with dozens of apple daily article cited as evidence by young. suddenly our editor in chief became a suspect. we simon court. all, i'd never imagined a reporter having to undergo this and i argued during the court hearing on that day, we realized that reports and commentaries we once deemed ordinary. we're now problematic hope hope things aren't going on july impacted us a lot. one. how can the remaining freedom of press and expression protect

someone? yeah, we were frustrated on that day, both already man, a journalists can hardly for protection since then. i thought your whole so use the red lines are everywhere. know, but which are not the to homeless. you know, i felt like hired fishing, blamed opposition media for the mass protest in hong kong, and vowed to clamp down and what it called subversive dissidence. even months before it's closure. rumors and threats of shutting down apple daily had struck fear into its journalists. some left, others chose to stay until the bitter end including boon and harry was. i seize every last opportunity to perform my duty. when i go home, don't. even before it's closure, reporters for opposition media like apple daily, already encountered many restrictions. just a day before the newspaper closed, harry was on his last photo assignment outside

a court. all report this movements are monitored by the police officer and the scope for reporting had changed. fundamentally when the government classifies you as our position media, it often excludes you from certain press events and information. therefore, court news and our own interviews a, some of the few things we can still cover and the climate has become totally different in the wake of the protests. in the past, we could shoot freely, but now there are always metal barriers everywhere. always hang on. just 2 days later, harry's life has been turned upside down. he's no longer a photo journalist. this gear, which helped him to record many historical occasions, has to be returned to the now defunct newspaper outlet. well, i can't get used to it. i feel empty with all there are so many uncertainties ahead

. so many question marks in my head. i haven't been like this for a long time, or they're hung and using hong kong makes me feel really exhausted and powerless. every time i shoot in the field, there's a great sense of powerlessness. we're hot, there's nothing else i can do. more with my total gum. as a photo journalist, i witnessed the collapse of hong kong and it's most frustrating era. once the most vocal critic in china, the unprecedented death of apple daly raises another pressing question. who's next? the domino effect it triggered intensifies the chill, a number of opposition media outlets have removed commentary suspended service or even left hong kong. yet another editor from the now shut, apple daily was arrested at the airport when he tried to leave full. i was sorry,

i didn't think it was i was i like the chinese proverb says apple daily is like the sacrificial animal. that slaughter to intimidate the other farm animals and make them obey god, how pessimistic this all the stakes are high. when get off, we also wonder whether a previous reports will cause us trouble getting home language, but we can't be fearful as long as we work in line with journalists to conduct our meeting again. or to do that, you'll have the chance to enjoy the last light of breath freedom. every journalist is under pressure. i think a lot i haven't come up with the conclusion of whether i can still be a reporter. even if i can, it will be very difficult. please know. this is the 1st time they've met since that ball daily closed out. it felt so strange to have nothing to do yesterday on

such a busy day for all reporters. i love a few of their former colleagues are now on social media to continue reporting as independent journalists. but many are quitting the industry. how are the photo journalists doing some plan to get a tax license in b drive is not shooting anymore. it's hard to find another liberal platform called an independent journalist must bear all the risks and consequences on their own designs on the pressure and burden are different going on like my powerful yes. in hong kong. nowadays, any article could draw various accusations. it could be a huge risk by, by the shooting photo safer. so who knows? maybe a photo could also be blamed as incitement. hong kong detour from democracy has

forced them to put the brakes on their journalistic endeavors. does it also spell the end of freedom of the press in their home city? all of them and i don't think hong kong press freedom has died than although it's seriously wounded kings. all he will say will be no witness. the change of hong kong from a place with free speech, where there is basically no taboo for journalist to a place filled with red line and for the whole, you know, how, okay, we would all seen many opinions and acts are now prohibited halo by overland. it's not only me as a journalist that witnesses it, but all hong congress for she hung on my. if i can think i will get like hong kong itself, hoon and harry are at a crossroads and there's no clear path ahead. he faces an uncertain future. open says he's done his best and has no record of john's welcome. may be with

you. the 1st challenge ah, extreme to people. the one electric, my son like 15000 kilobytes. the next power. at the end of the day, read on w. the ration i would say i'm the source and roman legion. yeah. me and bike expedition in the past room and city forth. the theme of blind order was gushed ag tracy through germany. chicken

60 minutes dw. ah oh. what matters to us me. that's why we listen to their stories reporter every weekend or on d. w. ah, [000:00:00;00] cruise

we are living during the most extraordinary time in history transport. so hopefully electric you might have gotten the read the auto and mobility show me an expedition on an electric motor bike from robot and morocco to cape down in south africa through a total of 20 countries. this sounds like a huge challenge. cited was for a german kenyan couple who told read all about the the planning to go on this trip. if someone says, this is what you're going to experience. i would definitely do the

whole and we thought me and we will travel africa with an electric motor by how far we get. is it possible because the the idea was that he would be on the bike full time and i would drive the support vehicles because it was a stretch that had never been done before. so we want to be prepared. my name is thomas, my father is from conklin. my mom is from germany. i was born and raised in and i'm an entrepreneur. and in my free times, in my work time i'm traveling the african continent. my name is betsy. i was born and raised in kenya, i moved to berlin. 2017. i work in color deposition. in my free time,

i do trips across after the motorbike that we were driving at a touch tank, which helps you to charge the battery quicker. so you have an on board charger that you can plug in anywhere. and then you have the charge tank which can speed up the boxes for the equipment to the side. one top case, and of course the charging cables, very important, right? mm. mm. mm. thank you to for the life of our trip. now this one we need to very happy but this possible nowadays without the thing,

the ink going know where the electric motor bike tor just popped into my head and you know what information hits you. i tend to trust that because i have such an idea. i just wanted to take the the news through production. we found something humorous where we can charge. you know, i'm going to ask the staff if you did or if i need to pay somewhere more oakland, south africa. we're the only countries on our route that have these e, v chartering stations. morocco is the only country where we use them on our 12 minutes away enough time for now. thank you. okay,

so nice. wrote jack. we had idea to make the trip even to south africa, and in 6 months, we want to travel the continent. and i wanted to experience africa in a way that it's not payment in the news. for example, this, the blue one, my somehow we made it the most challenging that i could get, looked at the map and i was, okay, what is the maximum amount of countries that we can kind of cover, right? 20 countries mean try to cross 20 borders in 6 months and it's not like a shannon shannon area where you get through with one visa, but no, it's like each country needs its own thing,

right. and then we have 2 different passports. no, don't right behind it. when i get back behind the driving, oh, here we are riding along. 40 kilometers up and get right on. so they advertised strains of the black forest and this around 250 kilometers. i think in city traffic. now some stretches, morocco don't have charging points every 250 kilometers. so we were kind of experimenting. how can we extend that range in some way? more okay, i found out then if you drive behind the truck, you are nicely in the slipstream and the range extends massively right. of course you can only do this when the road doesn't have any potholes. and it's not the safest driving, but then i don't think we did this trip just to experience safety. i wanted to know as a possible,

right. and so i remember one stretch. we did 350 kilometers from one town to the next where we were able to charge it to me, it seems in life, you know, go with the things that speak to your heart, kind of listen to your intuition. ok . so we needed to calculate in such a way that we were not moving it by could not the next case though, we stopped at it had to have electricity, so we could trudge the bike. ah, tricity was like the key factor for this type undertaking, right? we charge gas stations, hotels, restaurants,

the hell could tell us we had to generate the tellico tower, the middle of nowhere was well through the chart. i don't know you every with you go where the electricity is . what you got electricity in the kitchen, let me run this cable. pseudo move this ticket, right? let me plug him every night for us. what sort of like an adventurer? you never know what you're going to eat. you never know where you're going to sleep . whether it's going to be nice where you're going to plant electricity, i don't think we have the final say on how good the electricity systems are. but they vary a lot. and even in one country, they could vary a lot, like for example, in the barrier, a lot of things are running on generators, but then the closer you get to ivory coast, some of that electricity might be coming from could and they have a better electricity systems all i know at the end of the day, just when you find

a place like the bike is charging, it's just like we did good today, like the bike and charging, we're just sitting down going over like what the day was like having a beer. those little moments also like meet such a difference. it was raining and the threats when caustic the war does that does not have pharma. so it was just like we've got so many times. the stuff is not much coming up. the kid on the suv to from

the office and he had to always get the help of other villagers to come and help us to push the car out of the month. if you want to try me back in the day, we actually had a military export. special forces were like only have to say it was so sharp that you don't have an escort. you can just get kid now. and then one thing led to another, and we haven't asked for the chair, actually in the middle printer bank in the back. otherwise i wouldn't make

a difference. like 50 max home 60, can i tried? i tried to explain this to them. they didn't know at the time, the weather was also great. sometimes it was really awesome. i was a really rainy sometimes with money. so also physically remember what the

money has killed to build them. so if i take the motor out dependent when we have a complete plan in the front, it's stretched our capacities but then also the couple in terms of our communications. i think it was a great opportunity to practice patients to practice listening, to practice understanding all that the

the the the the, the me the we moving again on the back of the truck. everything is next together is our lovely princess. the protagonist in the play? horace motorcycle there is a crazy prim fully got to be all this man. it's been crazy.

it's been one crazy telling me in this been summer the so i think this is the last time we see the one. because, you know, let's, let's have a look together, maybe check sort of fund everything again,

if there's anything that we might need to buy, ah, we've decided overnight. so right now everything we had in this car and you saw them that before. it's reduce it in 3 back already. does it do everything already, but we have mentioned that we got 3 more of that and some software which is crazy.

with me we have me gotten rid of all our stuff. and now if the car is ready for sale, i don't have it. this is some of the stuff that we're still trying to get rid of. even when we had to leave the van, i was like, how does an interesting ton of events? and it might just make a story more interesting. you know, let's see where this takes us. and it's like in the beginning, you're like, it's annoying, it's mostly done, but then the next part is like it's interesting, unexpected, fresh. and actually i always love how you wait and okay, i leave all my stuff here. all my fancy,

an expensive perfume that i go. i mean this is what i was saying. like we were in it. there was nothing. there was no way we're going. you just had to sit in this space and be like, ok, this is where we're at. this is what is happening right now. let's go. the me i would also just like paula street. because it gets very monotonous. it really does. thomas has the better view of the front, and like for me it was i would always have to be like, could you my head like this? and we're packed onto this vice with so many things and let go of a lot of stuff. i was just chris like in between thomas and then our baggage on this side and on this side it was quite uncomfortable. so sometimes i was just like,

no going to see the news. i had netflix. so i literally would download like shows the wind, its so loud with your driving. so i would like to just make sure i'd like to put a subtitled. so i'm not even really hearing anything but like reading stuff over the back of the bike and tell me was it always like oh no, but i still green the see there are you so beautiful and everything like no, i just need my netflix to get through this mm mm mm we will be taking the trains,

sophie and i are both on the 0 right now. the distance. dramatically charging yeah, it seems that it should be electricity or stop by the gas station. or if you see a nice hotel, otherwise you keep going. i should be back within the country by tomorrow. otherwise my shannon expires or i have to leave thomas to finish the journey without me.

ah. the

good news in all right, folks. just the left hand on writing their own chips. by my love. there you go. to heartbreak. but then again, we did it. i was so happy that i arrived in health africa safely and i was able to get back to 0 to that model, right. like i didn't destroy your bike, your bike actually made it right. so it's like, well, and in one sense it's like all, i won't have a wonderful motorbike to write anymore. but on the other hand it's of, she's your responsibility. so yeah, with the news

so little back to german who's left, but a quickie check in on my mind to me that back in one piece because i was also having like a bit of a bar to do like the last bit by himself. so when i saw him at the airport, i was like, safe and sound back home for the i wouldn't do it again. not in that way just because everything has it's time. everything has this purpose. we did 6 months during the rainy season with a car and an electric motor bike. right. either one could have, you know, maybe it worked out easier, but both,

i think we just gave us all the proper challenge. ah, we have very different experience with our trip while traveling for in the beginning because the com on the motorbike trying to extend the range because it's just hanging out in the van. ah, are you saying that you had more responsibility and i was just like living my best? no, i wouldn't say so. i think it was just different experiences. have a problem. but in general, yes. thomas, i will do it again for the

ah yes. what on earth is that the common polonium, a luxury hypercard, beam pump, street racer the electric rebirth of motoring legend. what is going on? it hits banos with only 5 will be built at a price from $1650000.00 euro each. we went for a ride to see what you found out more about his bonus. we they've been gone for some time. the carbon colonial is only their 2nd model since 946 and in yo,

because you feel that our speech, their reaction of getting witnesses very fast. the scarred is toll made this joshua a fiber for an electric car, 1700 kilos. right? that's why when you're driving the road, driving around the governor's guard open from the technology, we always said that the scottish coming from their race tracks the road. this bonus we started making cars in 1900 for the cars designed as an homage through the 1900 twenty's and thirty's heyday with a looks around. and that was really fun was of the moment. but what, that's a successful branch in terms of racism. of the sparse, but we have the right to donnie's communication between the past 4 months of the vehicle and look truly unexcused dvd,
