the domestic, it will go stronger than before. 60 percent of bonnie's g d p is attributed to tourism alone. in the past, the rapid growth of the sector led many young people to abandon farming. but that put the island on a week footing. but we put all the eggs in one basket. if something goes wrong, everything will collapse. so balis should develop other sectors to buy one and i said we need at least 3 pillars to a tourism sector. agriculture and a small industrial sector on the on picked out on these tickets you back at mound, but tour there are finally some customers. students from the capital jakarta. it's a good change for the local center. they could explain something new, the contract adapt to the situation because there took the pendant through the 3rd of this year, right? so they won't, they won't grow. they're not trying to grow from their comfort zone,

for body to diversify, residency farmers, access to markets, capital and technology will have to improve photo. it's a long term project on an island where everybody's just waiting for the return of foreign tourists. ah, following germany is general election, the country not only has a new government, but many new members of parliament to including our test by yesses, the 1st black women to represent the interests of her constituency in the german capital berlin. because there's a lot to do and no time to lose. so i'll wait. tis for yes. who's has been working around the clock since the general election that secured her a spot in germany's history books. the eritrea born lawyer had been involved in local politics for years, and then a racist killing spree in her home state,

shook her to the court house. miss bar. i don't know why, but the terror attack and her now pushed me over the edge. i thought something has to change. i can't stand this many long of the chena owls. 10 people were killed in the terror attack. 9 of them 1st and 2nd generation immigrants overcome by the feeling that germany was no longer a safe place for her and her family. she considered leaving the country. so white got out, nurses should be in lunch, but frankly it's hard to find a country that's free of racism from da here by the next the or so the next option was staying ah, and doing everything possible to fight against discrimination and racism until camp here in a rural area of the state of hesser, a woman of color on the balance is a novelty. but the lack of footsteps to follow was all the more encouragement for the 47 year old. to her, it's very clear. you can't be what you can't see than on slush when bird or

a quarter of else. oh children haven't immigration background. why are we not saying that proportion among tissues we should mission as a school go i want to see myself reflected in my agency. same goes for the authorities and our parliament and also unknowns on parliament. but us, german society grows more and more diverse. statistics revealed that institutions are only catching up very slowly from a small town constituency, straight into berlin center of power to her. the reason it took until 2021 for a black woman to get a seat and the bonus tag is clear and washed. we'll try because as a structural racism in our country, we miss agnes. and if we say it doesn't matter that i'm blacks, we're ignoring the structural problems, then that means we're not ready to acknowledge that as a black woman, i'm presented with different circumstances and obstacles than a woman who is not flour. denise, not a how qualified i am,

fitz yet ish been good now than you. m p has many plans, but the biggest of them all is to serve to others as the role model she herself never had it's an experiment, but it might catch on the spanish city of barcelona is making his streets car free every friday morning. this enables children to safely right to school on their bicycles. liam grand is focused, it's a special morning on friday's going to school is different. he won't be on the back of his mom's bicycle like on the other days. the 4 year old is riding his own bike, along with dozens of other children here in barcelona. they are taking the bc bush and organized by tour to school but lives with some woodrow but the children love it. it gives them autonomy when i and it's something different,

something new that if i didn't, they none of it as it's a party on wheels with music and applause while the little once they've got the whole street to themselves, normally there would be many cars that would scared em. now they don't need to be afraid. every friday, the way to school is blocked from cars for around an hour. so the kids can cycle that bc was, is a project organized by parents who want a change to lie there? that is the idea to make this street more peaceful and other street in the city. even if there are bike lane says, be for children like them who are 5 or 6 years old. it is still a little difficult to maintain the direction and the bank like mine. there are lots of scooters and bicycles which people pass by very quickly. and that's sometimes a bit dangerous for the youngest ones isn't book or barely get also brought up. but i love my spec annuals, district counselor, paragon salus,

supports the initiative he has just given permission for another root of the bc bush left. you guys will. yes, it is very hostile for the boys and girls. this is a way to gain space for them. so they can cycle on the streets and go to school full scale. yes, gordon chose me think liberty, sweet alcholay. he hopes that soon families can operate the route on their own without the help of the local police. the kiss a loving it because we're all together and we like going by bike writing leafy isn't leaving. it's really good that the children can now cycle without fearing the cars. ask lexus. the parents also want less cars in the streets to reduce you to emissions. barcelona is in the midst of extending and improving its bike lanes. but the city council needs to take into account all road uses be pedestrians, motorists, or cyclists in australia, those gay that garza oliver routes from home to the school are perfectly walkable

is and the bicycle is just another way. that's why we need to treated as another element for this. and this is why we are working and making a school surroundings less busy. and also increasing the bike lane and see a film they lost, got elizabeth wida and family friendly bike lanes that us separate from call traffic may pop up in the future. but sick as theater. okay. on kate, i applied even if there are plans that go in that direction. and if the city council supports this view, the changes are very slow. that's come. yes, i'm willing to. until then the party on wheels continues. and with more and more children joining the beefy was this here to stay. ah, no g. the street doug from is stumble, became famous. last summer, he regularly travels through the tac as metropolis by train and bus. and now has tens of thousands of funds on social media

people on their way to work and posey a completely normal day on public transport in east amboy boise as a stray dog. but he loves travelling around the city to day. we meet him on the european side in the historic ballot district. eventually, he loves it stumble. he sees more of the city, them we do, and he doesn't have to buy tickets. that's a bit unfair. if you meet him in the metro on the bus, he is always relaxed and in a good mood ready to vote. i saw him for the 1st time today, but of course i knew him before it in our counsel course tre. animals are part of a stumble because we share our streets and parks with them or that so why not our tramps to renew, but no one really knows how long body has been making his way around

a stumble. about 3 months ago, more and more people began posting photos of their encounters with him. the job now even has his own social media accounts and tens of thousands of followers. big city workers are now regularly taking bashi for health checks. they also gave him a collar with a g p s tracker clinical that up to some talk. we are tracking his route and always no way he is even at night. he travels 30 to 40 kilometers every day, but he also takes brakes along in m into new for example. that's one of his favorite stations. and then sometimes he takes a ferry to cover touch and watches the sea for a while, thought in say to do so it's easy to find out where body is running to catch a fairy. but to this day,

no one can bring the safe. why he's on the go so much. he doesn't seem to be looking for anything specific. never has a clear destination. he wanders through a stumble like a tourist. and if he just barely misses the training body patiently waits for the next one. ah ah, sometimes a seed is all you need to allow the big ideas to grow. we're bringing an environmental conservation to wife with learning packs like global ideas. we

will show you how climate change ended or mental conservation is taking shape around the world and how we can all make a difference. knowledge grows through sharing, download it now for, for people in trucks injured when trying to flee the city center more and more refuge. these are being turned away at the border. family's involvement in syria for the credit on its way located demonstrate people seeing extreme ross getting 200 people from the agency around the world. more than 300000000 people are seeking refuge. ask why? because no one should have to flee. make up your own

mind. d w. made for mines. ah ah, they call me al tundra. didn't open my ancestors with no man's head waiting for 20 years. i have lived with my own family in the step, hurting our capital. attend. ah, to be it would be especially our music is about mongolian history and our custom.

so these are our never ending sauces in those on with mr. po boscoe on that aren't they at the fatis my sharman name is will not but that ever since i was a child, i had visionary abilities day and could sense the spirits of nature ah a journey through mongolia and its capital. lombardo will start in the mountainous north of the country, will follow the tracks of the transmission galion railway south crossed the vastness of the step. and after about 800 kilometers, reach the gobi desert and the buddhist. hum our monastery.

ah, a dungeon station 1st stop. arch from a communist pass merges with contemporary advertisement. planned economy once held sway here, today, it's the free market. dark hon is the 3rd largest city in mongolia. it was built in 1961 with massive support from the former soviet union. and its name is no coincidence. darkhan means blacksmith and reflects the importance of the city for metal and heavy industry. tourists are rarely seen in this big cities train station. the no frills building

was designed for commuters and traveling merchants in the metropolis with its hundreds of thousands of inhabitants. dar hon is a transport hub that connects regional routes with the transmit galion railway towards the lawn barter and further on to the chinese border. anyone taking this train to the capital however, should allow plenty of time. the train takes over 7 hours to cover the almost 250 kilometers because of the many stops along the way. moreover, the railway infrastructure is not up to european standards. oh, the train attendance where crisp uniforms, they are responsible for checking the tickets directly at the carriage door and they take their jobs extremely seriously. a mongolia, respect and authority are important principles that must be observed.

meanwhile, it's announced over loudspeaker that it is strictly forbidden to take any moments including dead ones on the journey. because the fur of the mongolian delicacy, usually harbours flesh, which are regarded as carriers of the plague. only about 3000000 people live in mongolia, a country more than 4 times the size of germany. it's huge distances and vastness can be sent through the train window. you also physically notice mongolia is altitude, a quarter of the country is between 2003000 meters above sea level travellers should therefore allow themselves a little time for acclimatization. halfway between the han and milan, bottom,

the foothills of the 20 mountains begin. the mountain range is considered the birthplace of the greatest mongolian of old times, genghis khan abroad the name genghis khan is mostly associated with conquests, brutality and virility. but here in mongolia, it mainly stands for political savvy. the founder of the mongolian empire is considered to have been a patron of trade, education, art and culture. free him of religion is one of his most important legacies. even to day christians, buddhists, muslims, and adherence to mongolian shamanism practice their religions peacefully side by side. b. shamanism is the oldest religion in mongolia.

ancient symbols such as the swastika or sun, we'll ornaments are supposed to pay the way for the sharmen to reach the spirits. this religious decoration, which was hijacked by germany as a symbol of the nazis, can be found in its original sense as a spiritual symbol of luck. everywhere in mongolia that the meaning day of dela down through my transfers. i made contact with the spirits of the mountains and the water to la. it took their sounds, my ways to be good, and just those dear headphones have their husband that therefore, they do me the honor of showing me the right path. ludwig isn't our dingle with little jackson butter.

mongolian shamanism combines medicine and the worship of nature and ancestors is sharmen is responsible for the welfare of their tribe through contacting the spirits and speaking with the voice of the deceased while in trance. they try to show their community the right path for the future. ah, let. okay, let me, let me look that a little living through where their ancestors really speak through the shellman remains. the question of favor was hung like with every religion so that the bus home, but on the bus for were not every one can be a sharmen, out of antique. if you do not appoint yourself as a sharmen and just do something for all this would send people on a wrong path and detach the soul from the body. we are all false. shamanism is therefore even harmful and ligan's alto are wrong. but unfortunately, it happens quite often that they will beg july genius. they said to him to him that

in sacred sacrificial rituals such as the milk sacrifice are men to appease the gods. for shamanism balance between man and nature must be preserved and the growing economic interests in mongolia are a dangerous aberrations. ma, that poor har let them at present. people are digging in the earth all over at the shell, but they don't even care about sacrificial mounds. borderline, they're not respected, and they're not even being rebuilt, warranting days and people are drilling, digging, and destroying things. it's very difficult everywhere. a while ago i traveled through western mongolia and saw that many creeks and rivers there have disappeared . like dried up the hill. this is because people do not respect the earth that which is probably why we sherman's are also there to save nature. so sudden at

least that's my belief that thou got fastest soon. but thorny hood came. he didn't want the tin home. ah, we followed the line further towards land batter the train is usually the faster and more comfortable choice in mongolia roads here are not comparable with asphalt streets and europe. vast areas of the country have not yet been developed at all. on the other hand, there is a very good chance of meeting herds of free range cattle over distances of several kilometers. the animals often alone, without their nomadic owners search for the best grazing grounds in the barren

landscape, they have to build up their body weight as much as possible during the few summer months. the hard mongolian winter often begins in august already when the 1st snow frequently falls. ah, travel times mongolia are very long, even on the train. the railway infrastructure and many of the vehicles are decades old. despite the beautiful landscape, after a good 7 hours ride from dar horn to the capital land batter, passengers tend to be pleased to finally arrive the big city, lackluster concrete buildings. welcome the guests. even local say, you can't help but love mongolia, but you can only endure will on bus

r o will. and barto central station is the largest railway station in the country and was opened in 1938 to this day. it remains an important hub for national and international traffic in the heart of mongolia. the train is the most important means of transport in the country. not only for tourists and commuters. local retail is also used, the affordable rel connections to neighboring countries, such as russia and china. the husband thomas, which dealt with after very long shopping trips, hundreds of them arrive with new goods into land, but are every day from here, they transport their purchases to the shops and kiosks in the capitol where they

will sell them. almost half mongolian population about 1500000 people lives in alon barto the economic center of this land rich and natural resources, is currently experiencing an enormous boom. the metropolis is considered as symbol of a wealthy growth oriented mongolia. with in recent years, hundreds of thousands of people have come here to try their luck. few have become successful. and yet, mongolia is experiencing the greatest rural exodus it has ever seen.

young people in particular don't want to be inferior to the west, but they also don't want to be inferior to their asian neighbors. she is considered traditional nomadic life as a viable future food to her own petition pathway to that didn't tend to renew john good to. so we have a song that deals with rapid technological progresses. and in particular, reflects the moment when too much technological optimization has occurred. it today, it her bathroom pitch in that group. at this point, what humans look for a place to slow down and return to nature and the origins of life. mr. chic. this is an important message that we want to give to the people he says, and especially to the mongolian youth, nasa, or is talking to joe bellanca, most of cemetery in the middle of lombardo,

for the band, down on it's a backdrop that symbolizes an entire generations fears for the future. their sons deal with environmental protection, unemployment, and also the dangers of runaway technologies. zation. however, they find their musical muse and the old legends traditions, and characteristic sounds of a mongolian culture. ah some beautiful the name jonathan is closely connected with a history of the horse had federal ha mongolian national instrument. who told me this would be fine. no, the mongolians have always said that there was

a very kind hearted man who owned a black horse named chow. not doubting on was hey, listen to it, loading it when it died. one day was they wanted to honor it, murder and built of asked horsehead fiddle. and its image was sing, yes, a baffled swell used its bones the tail and main me. he's made the theoretical motor process on that it whenever the longing seized him for the gold with he played on it metal and he remembered his black horse john on how to money that an assistant in common with the musicians were present a young and confident mongolia internationally, as well as members of a young generation who went in search of their own cultural identity and found that place in the world with

a victory. there was a mom, the limitations of the day of j. we hope that in the future people will remember our band jonah for successfully having passed traditional mongolian music on to younger generations in a profound way. hutcher to take was deal with diesel been negative with which to be take. that is our wish to women. that is what we hope our musical achievement will be totally, totally dead with these to get into the 2nd leg of our to any takes us from the capital on batter along the transmit galion railway to the city of chair, 250 kilometers away in the heart of the mongolian step

woollen batter central station 7 am. a real hero is waiting for the train to chair. good at charge. deb demy dean is the only mon goal so far who has traveled into space since his space flight in 1981. he has been treated like a superstar in his country. the retired air force major general was also the country's minister of defense until 2004. however, most mongol see him 1st and foremost as a heroic cosmonaut. considering this liberal and sing for the 1st basement bar, mongolian was a significant moment for our people again and we'll stay

a part of mongolian history is an important event. all these days. young people learned about it from newspapers and magazines from radio and television, from their parents, relatives and siblings. with detroit, as a result, mongolians of etched it firmly ended the memories with an almost as good sing he, warriors, on, sir, ah, even in retirement, the major general still has very little free time. he regularly speaks at events on military history about his experiences as a research cosmo. not on the soviet. so used 39 space mission and about his 8 day stay on the saw youth 6 space station. good act, tragic deb amadine was awarded the title, cosmic hero of mongolia to honor his career. he's the only living mongolian to hold it. that'll be all done. what done?

it will go with up the 3. no, well i try not to get myself so much important as i don't see. what have i done so far? what are my achievements? mainly about the job again, but i don't really think about myself that way or ask those times of question. that sounds like it, but the think it's not the sex that matters to me is that i want to remain the same person. i was before i went to space off of the said did hit to g back there. in my spaceship, commander and friend vladimir auto xandra, it's johnny beck of said to me. after space trouble, you'll have many new friends, but please don't forget your old ones. again, i still think about his words to this day by sonata, which is why i want the public to see me as i really am about i had thought of them and how to get to some relief, sadly do what's the cosmonaut is the role model for his fellow countrymen, some one they respect, even though they recognized that his feats were idealized in soviet propaganda.

his ride on the train has been announced. the entire train crew and even the cook know, the famous space traveler will be on board. the cook is actually a style chef who was assigned just for this journey. it will be up to him to make a top quality meal in the few square meter kitchen on the wobbling train. what a new summer will be serving delicious dumplings and potato salad to the cosmic hero. monica dumplings filled with beef and tasty, modern tao. this should make fantastic dumplings the shift does not pass up the opportunity to serve his hero, the food in the dining car. personally.

the potato salad served as actually made according to a german recipe. it's a calendar he left over from the times of international friendship between mongolia and east germany. the trans mongolian express takes a good 3 hours to get a chair in the province of gov, his number deep in the mongolian step. good at judging dead them. athene is no stranger to the city until the early 19 ninety's, both soviets and mongolian air force base as were located in the region around. sure. so the station was strategically important above them, the retired cosmonaut knows that well. i remember from all this is why the station stove in by to their celebrity guest,

to join them. they proudly recall this historic moment. hello to it. nowadays the 72 year old increasingly looks back not only on his achievements, but also on his roots as a simple nomad ah, the good not them of the dog vasa, the mongols have actually been watching the skies in space from very early on as well. so if you, if here to our long history shows that we've used celestial bodies to navigate by for thousands of years now about to sell to us. but moreover, to survive as a pastoral and nomadic people in their world, we have to be able to foresee the vagaries of the weather to hot cold. that's why the mongolians always directed their gaze and thoughts up toward the celestial bodies of think that he can so ordered hot out long she lives seemingly. ah,

oh well the chance mongolian railway continues on its meandering course towards the chinese border. we stay a little longer in the wild blooming step around chair. for centuries, no magic castle breeding has been the mainstay of the entire region. camel hurts round their natural environment freely. as do horses, sheep o goods the step landscape around mount sender about 50 kilometers voucher is known for its fertile ground. this is where all tongue girl has settled. for most of the year, the nomads,

horses live while they have to withstand winters with temperatures as low as minus 40 degrees celsius as well as wolves, which the horses can severely injured or even kill. with one kick, the cattle head, his family lives with their horses following the rhythm of nature. wearing a watch would be a superfluous luxury on either lou louis allowed them to go get up early and were out all day until dark as new. we heard the capital and move them from here to there. since we are out all day long, we don't need to ask what time it is. good for us, there is morning, noon afternoon and the movement of the sun. now these are, these are your values, keep an eye on the sun laughter. all, it's the only thing you can keep in view here because it's the sun that is always determined whether it is day or night with a house. i don't all do i go a georgia,

sam. oh, where the ancient songs of the nomads tell if they are longing for their beloved homeland. the endless expenses of the step and the deep blue mongolian sky. never who knew? wow, husband takes care of the horses add in a suit, turns the rich milk from their goats and sheep into quogue, yogurt and cheese. these are staple foods during the summer months. the youngest daughter still lives with her father and mother. her oldest siblings are already attending school and live with a grandparents in the city. a daily walk to school through the step would be much too arduous and too far. not to them

until it's brought at liberty to that. we have never really thought about living in the city. if we have worked down the city, we take the chain as it usually runs at night, was one that are that way. we are there early in the morning before work starts. and then you can get a lot done in a day stamps. itinerant herd is aunt interested in material wealth. they see possessions as additional ballast. but the number and conditions of their animals on the other hand, are extremely important to them because they show their diligence and skill on one another. a low ball on the well, we get over 200 kilograms of kashmir, will sometimes even 300 kilograms from the 700 goats. we're good to go. and the money we earn from the wall trade is enough to cover all the expenses that come up over the year to the left in the other school fees and autumn man to pay for the

$2.00 or 3 workers who help us go there. he pays for anything important that crops up in the year or looked under. could we also prepare the meet from our catalog of feed ourselves in winter, the iliad, but we also sell some of it. so we live from the immense productivity of our animals. oh, did you shirt and her hair? oh, not good them. all. her mining has dramatically increased and all of her, all sorts of things are being done to the soil, which is having a negative effect on the bodies of water and pastureland off near north. we now get very little water from our wells, didn't visitors, and it hardly rains any more. hold on one is it still to when i look back on my childhood, it often rained continuously for 3 or 4 days. oh,

hang. oh, oh. mongolia sits on huge deposits of natural resources and a round chair, one of the country's largest and most important centers of mining, iron, or copper, all and lig night is growing. kelly, the mongolian mining companies and profiting from the countries wealth of rural materials, nearly as much as big international investors and energy giants still the development is good for mongolia as railways. the network is growing and jobs are being created. oh,

my god. oh goodness, hulu. so me, culture, she knew multi economy has a major influence on the expansion and development of the real race and vice versa . so in this as you go stitch and the mongolian railway is currently expanding, our stock bothered at the locomotives and real cars are becoming more advanced. so judge a food with this with the real network in the entire real logistics are currently being revamped us a little with free traffic in particular is increasing chelisa . so the future of our railways looks really promising. the 2nd, with most room at reels, are exposed to neighboring countries. china, however, uses a different gauge of track to mongolia where the network is based on the rush and broad gauge. that means all the wagons must be reloaded on the chinese border,

which is a huge additional cost factor.
