but perhaps it's the electric car for the entire world. d. c. m. city one. affordable, flexible, uncomplicated, developed in germany. usable wherever there's a conventional household socket. plug and play. red. in 60 minutes on d, w, at these places in europe or smashing the records. step into a bold adventure. it's the treasure map for modern globetrotters. discover some of you wrote record breaking sites on google maps to and now also in book form i. they're welcome to the 7 to 7 percent assured are let's africa majority they youth talk about things that are important to us. i am mike lety your host for

today. so yes was coming up. do you have the right opportunities to compete for the rest of the world? that's what we asked young people in several young in gone as capital our crime. we meet a young innovator. tom tillman and e by 4 of lucian. and in my city, we explore broome this economic capital which will bore up ah, ah, let's start off to base shore with a talk around a continent to be successful at anything you need meant us. some one who has done it before and continue the rooks in the next story. i bring you a skitta magician and a tick tock queen. they tell us who inspire them. wow, i mean i really look up to ago, you know, if you had

a group called pulling cello, i think it's because of their hydroxy puts towards getting a lions and how she asked and how she is able to evolve into different characters. that is amazing. and she has contributed into the puzzle that i am today. i tried to follow him by doing what she does concentrating way and being my mice cribs and also researching on my carter before a cause said or rather being evolving into my car. 3 a 34 luther dane, i'm old crazy angle. busy liggins, like i did before, they do an m m m, i do show i gear world. so i think my them to study beamed. c, o,

e that i wanted to dial along with her is what the main distinction you wholesale i am and you can easily unique lassi will at the moment i'll say a mouth still is an american skateboarder. and i think why inspires me is because he's regular skateboarding valerie, like his dowdy skate. i. he normally doing skate. he normally gets all his checks and i like put that in to ask a body where like murder and get a check. i like a non just quit on karen trying. i want to get the checks or ever print will ever

stop trying my trick. well, close to, you know, sin. i can't begin to attempt any of those tricks. but it's great to see all of you guys do what you love and hopefully more people get to live your best lives. because we are in a global world where you and i have to compete with young people are age in germany and china. but do you feel prepared to compete? that is what my colleague edward kamani asked young sir. all unions in this we st. pete? yes. what do you say? ah, hello and welcome to the 77 percent. were here at the prince of will school in free town, the capital of sterile yawn. and in this country, 8 out of every 10 people is under the age of 35. i had to look that number up again because it's unbelievable. 80 percent of the population are within the 77 percent. but the question we want to ask today is,

is the government doing enough to not just empower this youth but also make them competitive globally? and i want to begin with harder because you've had the opportunity to not to study abroad, but also have an enterprise here. so perhaps you can give me based on your experience . do you think that the youth in this country have been enabled or empowered enough to basically be part of the global community? well, as of a few months ago, there were only 3 disciplines in sierra leone when you go to high school. so there is the arts, the commercial and science. so i ended up in a science because every smart person is supposed to be a doctor. and most of the things were, were taught in school. we're not really practical, it was all fury. and i really struggled with these when i got a scholarship to study in norway, in 2015. i to classes like chemistry and biology. and in all the experiments which were very practical, i was really struggling and my grades were not reflecting on the education system that i received in sierra leone. let me go to case daniel,

because we're talking about some of the emits that come about, particularly after graduating. so university and i know finances was one of the key ones for you. is it normal, or is it a normal occurrence for young people yet to stop there, tertiary education, because they simply no bus or is no school fees. i got malcolm in 2016 with the diesel boat finacialow for me to follow my the kitchen. so i decided to move and senator rick wishes to telecom nutrition as a service agent for me just to support medication. and i was working go for the past 6 years. there is no support. oh greg, no, we all right, so let me speak to doctor come here for a 2nd because she is the director of research if i'm not mistaken. of for delivery and delivery in the ministry of finance. so it sounds to me like, you know, the government has a great initiative in place, which is free primary education rather free education for all. but then after that,

what next? the thing is. yes. for years we've been focused on traditional education. that's the reality. but now we transition in unseen the awareness and how people approach technical vocational training and the need for entropy, no sheep, and how he doesn't need to be just one sector or you have in one calling to serve. you can serve in multiple ways. you can be a doctor and still be an entrepreneur, you can be an entropy no and an advocate. so having that platform or crating, those systems in which of them are these, they thought that idea, no, they log in create said it's just that we need to scale up and find ways to accelerate the creation of those spaces. all right, do you think that the quality of education, what is being taught the back here is enough? i always say one thing i am personally not the free kind of person. and that's my personal opinion, because you don't think education should be faithful, should be accessible and affordable for everyone. because when it's free right now, only to poor people can send your kids to like goldman school. i want to be

involved in sierra leone, where the local trader and the minister can send your kids to the same school because they can afford it. i was part of the for education system. when i was in secondary school, my school fees was 60000 leon's, i got it every, i was reimbursed me for 45000 loans. but my textbooks were up to a 1000000 and that my parents found had to, you know, afoot, like daniel said he, he couldn't get to college and honestly it, it's sad because he was smart and he is still smart. but how many of daniels are out there? how many of daniels don't have this privilege to be on tv? let me come back to your doctor because we are hearing that there is a disconnect. i mean, surely the policy that you're creating behind closed doors sound wonderful, but the implementation 0. so if you look back at how soon as developed over the years, you know, the growth has been in stop, stop, stop, install. what is the thing is when you implement new policies, impact fix a while to shoot. so that's why we look at intermediate outcomes for now. that

number from a spend since number of children in school, we know that investments need to continue to need to be consistent. the need to be owned by everybody, everybody. we are now looking towards how we can not be left behind in the $42.00 industrial revolution because we've talked about the 4th industrial revolution. i must come to this because it surprised me dramatically. that electricity penetration in this country is just above 20 percent. how can we be talking about robotics and big data when people don't even have access to power? so that's the thing. and when we, if we try to perceive it in the lines of this comes before the other, that's where we miss it. there are things that we can do together and we can do that in more efficient ways. let's as the person who's already doing it, mohammad, we're hearing here that it's possible to both be waiting for power supply and still innovate is as true or is the dr. dreaming, as you said, a literally of just above 20 percent access to energy. we have wind mills now we locally fabricated. all we need is one to scale of the solutions and replicate for

more communities. we develop hydro generator, just from scrubs. all the solutions can solve our energy crisis. for my own initiative, i've been able to empowered over through only a young people in my defend initiative, wish to engage initiatives on power over 20 communities using wished to energy. sometimes we wish we are stuck in areas we are, we have our ideas and then we see does this ideas of potential to really grew? are we from a wound, the community that we've started? it's but it's talk because there are no supports really um skill up to the next stage and he was secure funded. okay. so dot com. i want to come back to you because we've had a lot of things that might make one to press. you know, i, electricity not available internet penetration, very low education, quality, questionable. but it's not all gloom and doom. is it? no slower? yeah. so 1st of all, our to say, asked the young person in government, i wear that hat because i think it's my responsibility as a citizen to me,

to be in space. this way i can drive person positive change. so in my role as director of research and delivery, that's what i do. i'm on the take research and advice, but what we need to do is we need to revisit the way we formed our development. because we're always talking about financial inclusion and getting entrepreneurship . now we of course be putting money into incubators and accelerators, but then we work with development partners also, and it always seems to be, it's more about a numbers game around number of beneficiaries than impacts. how do we started with you? i'd like to conclude with you. what do you think lies ahead for the use of this country early i asked if they're able to compete globally. i wonder if your answer has changed. i think after hearing all this, i strongly stand on my answer. we still have a huge percentage of the, of the population live in, you know, below the poverty line. don't, don't tell me i need to compete in the global market when i can't even compete with

countries like kenya and gonna look at what ronda is doing. senegal in 2035, you're going to have so much energy from solar. and here we are looking at countries like the u. s. in england. we have to stop that. let's compete locally, instead of like, globally. and i think one step at a time with local solution. yeah, we can get there wants to put a time, i like that. and i think that's also a great place for us to end. at the beginning of this debate, i asked if the serial union use a set up to compete globally. and i think the answer we've heard repeated over and over again is in good time. thank you for watching a. thanks it before that debate. now hodge is are to barry's, is a somewhat controversial point. should several unions focus on competing locally or us. some of you would say we live in a global world. and so we should compare ourselves to the rest of the world. and if

you want to watch a longer version of this to be, to go on to you to tunnel. and also on our facebook page, we asked many of you, if you feel you are ready to compete with the rest of the world. and yes, what solomon younger who lives here in berlin says, are we absolutely not prepared in our paso to weld? they are devastated because they have no young population to keep your social systems running. but in africa, our leaders can't make use of their youth. that's food for thought. and paul, new one from more movie library, i says, west africa is still developing. infrastructure, isolation and development will need every was full participation to achieve the result set. living at all in the hands of the government will take another century to work. there should be no more excuses. human beings should start fixed india every day, but decisions. so you are talking about personnel responsibility and people taking charge. and one final one from jim's past cost less in long whim allow, he says,

here in malawi, a retirement age has been increased from 65 to 70. when do young people get employment? it's a big question. i feel what you're saying. and let us also know what you think about this particular topic. you can shed was dos with us on our facebook page, d w, africa. now across the continent, young people are ready to contribute, but often there isn't any opportunity for them. in this song, our resident to wrap our killer east talks about the lack of chances for many african youth. ah, your leave, it was an opportunity. ah. yeah. with

the you've got what it takes to make the place a better place. demanding for when the police have been sick, give us a chance to elevate, give us the space, and they help in hand to live unemployed without jobs or they call us lazy will be posted in industries. they put us crazy promises me, but a big we spend more than we own. so we always and we worked hard to claim he had a pain in the us and from hand to mouth goes every claim that we get they dr. heart paused, retake them hard, drops locally and hot jobs. life is hot on the payment on the rise, a national crisis and it makes me wonder why the system is like this long range as well in crime and the prices keep high in in the government. don't care, they live in just like came thinking to. so, and police kato, now they wonder why the cities, hey, safely, cause there's more and more problems and replaces the more they can take it no more . so replacing the so really this one to take from the book or we ever really need, it was just basic. suppose a you know,

they don't know the feeling of seeing mama wake up at 4 o 2 literally you'll never need it was an opportunity. thanks, killer is for dad banging song. sometimes it's not enough to wait for the opportunity. you have to shake some tables, shut off some glass ceilings and snatch it. that is what a women be about to meet are doing. in gambia, many people still look a feeble mechanics with scorn. but i did not stop eda and for 2 matter. they set up the our own auto mechanics shop where they fixed cas while 10 in social norms on the hit. the center of sarah condo hosts a very unique place, the only garage owned and run by women in the gambia photo, marta, jamie and eda fall have joint forces to defy stereotypes and gain a foothold in the auto industry. however, they 1st had to commit their loved ones about their passion. oh,

my biggest challenge was the dylan. my mom to convince my mom that hey, it's ok, this is my passion. these one i believe in this is what i why do you do so forget about the stereotypes? look at them. i am a woman. there's a car that i have to make as in many other countries, men dominate the car industry. women are supposed to stick to traditional duties. for most this includes unpaid work in agriculture sector and they really own property. but after studying mechanical engineering, tomato opened her own garage, him a little more than 5 pool that is all going to use on the set is set to organize all the females that in this industry, the come together refine it very difficult to be accept in the industry, and then i said little was we'll have his son sample the little as female, got it apart from repairing and maintaining several cars per day for too much on

teach young girls the basics of mechanics. the training program is designed to empower goals and reduce the gender gap in vocational education. sign up, who has joined them. i decided to join the field because i love it. they see what ma'am? ma'am. hello louis. and i see i know the fact. that's why i joined the sweeney to show them that what men can do a man can do it even more despite the patriarchal mindset and can be in society, many people started to overcome prejudices and not hesitate to entrust their cause to the women. many of these kind of job would be assigned to man in sort of woman. so not does it does one of the reason not move me to come here because i was impressed. i was impressed when i hear that, you know, it was gone by ladies. notwithstanding the financial obstacles and gender discrimination far too much and have become an example of women's resilience by

following their dreams and empowering their peers to fight for equal opportunities . that thing you should remember when you watch this story is that no job is tended . the only thing that you should consider is whether or not a person mom, a woman, can get the job done. unless i agree to do this, you know, a young person who is running a business. so let's make it a point to patronize them. so that become all grew together for our next report, we had to our cra, ganesh, capital lawrence, a j bill's electric by extra east transportation. and at the time when full price is shooting through the roof, is innovation is 7 pockets and the environment in gunners capital occur getting from a to b can be a nightmare. it's normally hot in distances are far. and if you do drive or take public transport, you stuck in traffic rush hour can triple travel times. so canadians are

increasingly switching to 2 wheels. lawrence, a j is a pro cyclist and has been building his own e bikes for years. with a twist. what his 1st job on my back his face, i use ours, accurate their local barges. then secondly, our by law. qualitative offers. then we are very strong in light of room is very strong on. that is times when i started our can only buy one of the young. i think i was like living here soon and i saw people riding on his winters in on that was the videos. so wanted to create one myself. and from then, the nozzler progressing through me, this iraq, by the 26 year old, is self taught. he what is relatively tauriel almost every day, and tinkers with his e blake sloan's orders,

the remaining part through the internet. meanwhile de la russell men says sells a bikes from china, but those that are performance issues. the butree documented in shelly wearing stud rubble. yes. so when it came reading this should, this was you of thank you how to lou or lot of complaints from customers for lawrence to it's not just about the joy of writing, but also traveling cheaply and quickly, especially as fuel prices rise. his e bikes can cover up to 130 kilometers per charge. i wasn't because the distance out with our new delay very far. so i thought i needed a mortal my then as time went on, i told him all my situation and, and he said he can do something along so far, lawrence has sold 7 of his e bikes, but he's looking to supercharge his iep. i dream

with as someone who grew up in that cra, i know how much fumes people have to endure on their way to the office. and that's why i think that this innovation is going to make a big difference. and so i'll be keeping an eye on lawrence and after whistler round on the bike. it's time to cool down. and what better place to do that done in east africa when it's rolling hills and beautiful sunsets? specifically, let's go to pigeon poorer. the former capital city of bronte has had its fair share of political up evil. but peace asked finally returned. i am a local connect who's going to show us around what's up mackenzie. 2 i, what's up with the guy?
