children safer, barcelona has been expanding its bike lanes network, but competing needs are taken into consideration by city officials, including those of pedestrians and motorists, of gay that garza, alice water from your home to school is already an option or that is no problem there. let me think and now cycling is being added for school children or from we're working to improve the situation in school neighborhood when and we're adding by pan diligent. i'm just glad as you'll empty a feel. they lost their elizabeth. the idea is to build wider, more family friendly bike lanes, clearly separated from the other traffic sick, a theater. ok, the plans are promising and the city council is working on them. let me stay on, but it's going to take a long time until there is actual change. yes, come yes, i'm willing to. until then children in barcelona will keep cycling to school on fridays with a beefy boost project. great stuff now in the

shrinking world in which we love those increasingly frenzied international competition for key resources, one of which is would and one place to find out how this market works is safely. ross in belgium's southern were lonia region where chinese buyers snap a local wood that goes on sale to an annual market to then sell it back to european purchasers with a significant markup. oh is a highly sought after natural resource, especially if it's one or 200 years old, like these logs to reap his own runs. a saw mill in belgium. it's a 4th generation family business. but this year has left him worried about the future. oak is becoming increasingly expensive and hard to come by. elizabeth rocha wo wiggle. i still have some trees left over from last year and some from the year before the cuckoo crew are low, so we still have oh, we can process now. so,

but only for the next 7 months or so. and then that's it was shipped. we warm up popish the planet base for his son to take over the saw mill. but now that future is uncertain. the economic situation in, well, o'neill, in general, is difficult. unemployment is high here and following the decline of heavy industry wood was the only natural resource left. now that's also under pressure. we made cop into eileen go, blay. he says that although he has plenty of clients, his business is facing trouble. he's been trying to secure as much timber as possible, but pi it rachelle come on, our costs are rising up. we're finishing orders where we are selling cheaper than we're by in this corner shit. the price of wood is rising faster than wheaton whirl is going up. wilma headed hubble. previously business here had been good in times of climate change. high grade would like, oak has become even more precious and even lower grade log sell very well.

the wood from local forests get sold once a year at an auction held by the municipalities. this has always generated considerable sums. but this year, the modest civically hawes auction had a surprise in store to trade has bought 95 percent of all the wood on offer for a record some to be exported to china le dewberry reject will of his t mailed. we earned twice as much as what we had estimated earlier in the year, which is huge as you 2nd you come up with a problem is that if this continues, there will be no more competition in a few years. because if record sums of money are pumped into the market, is people and sawmills here will go bankrupt. there's no way they can compete with foreign buyers, who, especially from china, is also present italian, not a machine. china ships the logs back home to be processed, undercutting european so mills wood, is it desirable commodity in china? but the government also wants to protect its remaining nature. president changing

ping has banned the looking of chinese forests for 99 years. ah, goldman, its a, sheila is tish yan done. the chinese state has a lot of funds and it subsidize as companies to buy wood abroad because they're not supposed to cut down chinese oaks in google at this creates unfair competition and could quickly destroy the european belgian french and german timber industry. our law badge of wholesale more global demand is thus taking over belgium's local timber markets. but china is buying of wood all over europe to protect its own native forests. so what should be done? should there be a fixed quote for the european market, or an export ban on unprocessed would. and should these measures only target china? off to roll demand for wood has spiked all over the world. emanuel

defeat is a forestry expert, norful norco. he cautions against any rash, ill considered actions live in for bah, who called on the lashing on block, we should not condemn china across the board. a ship. how much we need to recognize that for many years the china bought our low grade would and was our valuable ally . it orders, but this ally is also a threat you for if you did, we shouldn't offend the china, don't you? you fool. in fact, we should maintain good business ties, oil, the cog, so to speak, the myth, to further boost trailer on his arm of analogy. it is a delicate matter to withhold wood from china. a resource it wants so much to do the much did he get? it's true that chinese demand hasn't caused european forests to disappear. align lamar shows us which trade will be exported, fossil supper, hausten, or le people that are often sick or damaged trees are selected in the interest of

sustainability. but occasionally, a healthy tree is felt to be sold and that hurts are moved to sell them killer. so fern would soon look, this oak is thriving again, it's going nowhere. i don't want any one cutting it down like a ship. which trees a fell than which is sped, that still decided by the people of safari. hans? oh, something else of value of these chips. why? well, because there is an inspiring story behind them and because they can make all the difference to people living on the streets of the city of bristol, in southwest england, giving them a hot drink or something decent to eat. the skin behind the chips was the idea of megan r, bethany hope, who wanted to do something, to support the spiraling number of homeless people in her home town, while at the same time paying tribute to someone very dear to her. ah, one thing megan abernathy hope learned from her brother billy was to not just walk

by people in need. that's why she regularly sets off to bristol city center to hand out billy chips to people like laura. the chips can be used to paper food or beverages when you get a code late. levey going within days, get yourself drink and trying king. it's a kind gesture and an opportunity to talk. i think you need a bit of courage and a bit of humanity because it's just like having a chat with anybody out. and i think that fair and worry over breaking people is what stops that love and natural jackson and i have for megan and her father, john, it's also a way for them to pass on the love they had for billy who died 3 years ago in a motorcycle accident, he was only 20 years old and had just completed his training to be an ambulance driver. even as a child, billy was deeply troubled by the hardships faced by homeless people and once asked his father why he didn't distribute all of his change and billy said,

why don't they just invent a token that you could buy and then exchange for food and drink and i think he saw that that would reduce the barriers because people would know it was a safe, secure thing for vale. and then people would also, you know, communicate more with homeless people because that was something that vinny really struggled with was that people just ignored homeless people in a thought become invisible. after billy's death, his father and sister decided to realize that idea, they developed chips that people can purchase which homeless people can then exchange for food and drinks and cafe. i all right, well yeah, good, thanks. good. just thought we come in today and chat you about the ne billy chip star to pack. we've had some are currently $52.00 cafes and bristol, and the surrounding area participate in the program and sell so called billy chips for homeless people place for them to come in are feeling is that some people are

very happy to give money, but others might be a little bit conscious about you know, how the money's being used and knowing that it's going to towards something that will seed all those kind of sustain kind the person that i gifting it, to. somebody came in that for 10 to give away presumably as part of their christmas giftings. so yeah, it's really popular. we have regulars who come back again and again to to by, by chips to hand out to people. one chip costs to pounds and can be traded for at least one hot drink. then often have changes mostly and, and, and i think it bears something about the reassurance of how we spend, which is good as well. aid organizations estimate the number of homeless people in england has doubled in the past few years. in bristol, many people are now familiar with megan, her father, and the billy chip. right. well, can we be so anyway? yeah, they're really good get a free coffee is absolutely for you to have

a warm drink through the cold night. if you're on a visa one phenom void, you need another call and money. and megan and her father say one reason for the chips is that they show homeless people. they are part of the community to and that they are welcome and cafes we poured our love that was our grief. we could no longer poor into billions and we put into the billy chip. we created a legacy. we've in a way, immortalized a key values that billy had as a human being that we loved to buy him and that we fail. everybody should kind of hopefully take a leaf out of his book with megan and her father. think that if billy were still alive, this project would never have come to be,

but they're certain that if he knew about the work they're doing, he'd be proud. real inspiration, that story. and if you've enjoyed the slightest addition of the show as much as i often do, join us next time around until then seasons greetings for me and the rest of the focus on your team. for now though, bye bye and truth. ah ah ah, with
