a migrant worker into one. what use up works hard to support his family back home in denisia. he's never been interested in politics by the race intentions between china and taiwan. have started to worry him out of my family and indonesia is asking if it's still safety and whether they'll be a conflict. if the worst happens, they've asked me to just come home and his colleagues know, talk about taiwan china relations every day. at his bending over 7 years in taiwan, he could never have imagined needing to plan a war time vacation to get worried about a war here. especially since the u. s. did not intervene in the war and ukraine. for now, i don't think the possibility of war is very high, but i haven't heard of any evacuation plan. i don't have a how i have nearly 700000. my good workers mostly found in indonesia,

in the for the been more than half of them worked in in manufacturing factories. others working at givers for nannie guild, up at noon. and it's one of them, she lip lip, lip pins to come to tie one in 2015 and know works as a domestic helper. but no gun also choose a migrant workers union. and his father that worries about possible taiwan conflict, why sprayed in there will be no community here. it seems like if some day, this fries for the wire and we don't know work, an eagle go in by one. also the, the problem here is where the language barrier or the migrants in the loop class. so yeah, we cannot guarantee of ourselves here. but we try to comport each other that we had

to be prepared, an income, his re deed who passport and personal document in case open emergency vacation. alexa, you fervently hoped that the world won't break out here, and there won't be a conflict, and everyone stays safe right now and work safely and happy. here. most migrant workers preferred to move to tie when due to better salaries here to one to depends heavily on them. but separate the in other words like him say that a wall would append or other considerations and jeremy not from or from perth in australia is erotic. i've another, she's a doctoral student at the university of western australia. and her research looks at relation between taiwan and southeast asian countries. coming out welcome your research also looks at se ation migrant workers in taiwan. and in the recent articles, you've go to the saying they are like coach orphans or 2nd class citizens in taiwan

. why do you say that? yeah, because this mike and workers, i usually experience discrimination in their daily lives at the, at their work place in the when they go with the taiwanese society. and some of them are not ca for i'm, they're deal taiwan neighbors, thunder. so workers, my can work us working in the social welfare industries are mostly not come under to tie one labor under. what does that mean? means that they are excluded from excluded from the benefits of minimum wage. thankfully the hours holiday and also labor in surrender with the condition their, their position is like a 2nd class citizen in taiwan. but do you think that that extends also to

when it comes to taiwan making plans? when in the, in the event of war with china, china is this large migrant population being excluded from those plans as well. it could be i so far i haven't heard any plan or a question when if the, if this is if the situation is high one right? first this workers are not stupid. some entire one. yeah. not one. and they are not part of high one. they're migrant. so they really the, on the support or protection given by their home country, either from indonesia, philippines, part parlor or c, at moms. so when it comes into future conflicts in the taiwan strait,

when it comes into question plan, they will really depend on their government in their home country. how then the government in junk are, for example, or in money la, protect them. if i quit them from the crisis from the potential conflict, there's so far, of course, when it comes to the question plan, a country will prioritize it 50 and this work, i'm not one not to do them off by one. so really depends on the front section from their own government and their, their government do not have relations with one, when they don't have diploma the relation, it will cost a limited engagement. it would cost a limit the direct communication between governments and when it comes to the question plan, then you need a very clear plan on how the plan and communication on how to evolve weight

in which point that they should go from their place in order to find a safe place for them to stay for a while while waiting for did for the flight. like to come to safe will have to leave a day for the timing with thank you so much for joining us to the erotic of in our, from the university of western australia. thank you so much. ah. the air in india's capital deli, some of the most polluted in the world and vehicular pollution accounts for some 40 percent off it. the city has decided it's time for a change and is placing its bets on the electric vehicles 22 year old because to her is a food and grocery delivery rider in delhi. he recently switched from his patrol, fueled bike to an electric one, which he rent on a monthly basis from this center. he's happy with this move for 2 reasons. he

saves fuel money and the environment 1000000 with if i got to where did i buy go get i deli has so many cars and other vehicles this so much pollution that it harms our health, especially when this traffic up anyway, there's no such harmful impact with electric bike sway lower because i knew about delhi hath frequently been rated the most polluted city in the world. regular emissions make up nearly half the problem. the boom in e commerce and for delivery services has meant that these 2 dealers are everywhere . the deli government wants half their new fleet to be electric in 6 months, with an aim to bring down the seduce pollution lot, the delhi government launch. it's e v policy in 2020, under which it offers the subsidies and that exemptions to consumer view of electric waco. recently the state government has also announced its bland could work nearly 80 percent of its entire bought lead into electric by 2025 more

e bike rental services are popping up around the city. but not everyone is confident about the uptake. india perfect, i don't think this can succeed in india because it's very hard to maintain the required infrastructure here. oh, and the vast populations such as ours, yet where most of the people are not very well read will never be able to maintain something like this. happy, oh boy, law man by made are buying a metal mitty sort made is my opinion is this will not work here. people who don't have the right mentality for it because it's not just the vehicles which caused pollution. there are other factors too horrible. but our gosh, good though, the founder of e by companies. zip electric says the government support means that dying is right for this transition. he believes a big switch now can be crucial. there are 2000000 delivery exclusives in our country, delivering goods. if i shift at all do electric date and you can open our website. zip got up. we'll see that we've saved about 23000000 kilos of carbon. you know,

in the last few years by deploying these electric vehicles and what, how many vehicles we have to plug just about 7000, that's just scratching the surface with the annual spike involution. around the corner. once again, delhi is desperate for sustainable solutions. because for one is hopeful that the switch to electric vehicles could be an impact through one starting with the fame of transport and big cities. there was a time when this was the norm in beijing and cities all over china, streets filled with bicycles for years. it was the principal way to get around for everyone but a privileged few. but cycling fell out of fashion when a growing middle floss done to cause. now after covert 19 and it's locked down, so people want out of beijing's germs to rediscover the joys of to win transport.

china hasn't tired of its old level fire. when bikes, more and more people are peddling past the landmarks of beijing and rediscovering their city from a new vantage point. oh was the one that i like cycling in the city because i discovered many hidden corners, places that i normally wouldn't realize are they even for some routes that i've been on 3 or 4 times? i can still be surprised by little discoveries. each time i write bust, who was that is why i love writing in the city. the number of cyclists has risen in the city since the pandemic hit china stringent locked downs and a 0 corporate policy left many desperate to be outdoors. and some are willing to fork out thousands of euros for high end bikes. battery power has become lifestyle. unquiet and who are, you know, it was really quick and sudden, i've seen

a growing number of people riding on the streets this year. and now i've many more friends to our goal is that we often talk about each other's bikes. so it's very interesting and i really enjoy this doctor got yeah. this some, all bicycle sales increased by 160 percent according to one online window. and what new enthusiasts enjoy more than anything is the camaraderie that comes to fighting together. cycling and bidding always a pleasure. that's it for today. we'll see you here tomorrow, but someone else to the hard work t v highlighted selected for you. you every week in your a box. subscribe. now. closely.

prime ministers. we're sitting here this summer and promise funding to ukraine for like 1000000000 euro, which i think will be important. this money goes to weapons of course, but also to human, a cherry and assistance and also money so they can buy more gas. so it's important for us to unite with ukraine, and no way we haven't delivered weapon took to confirm the countries and conflict for more than 60 years. but we've changed the practice when this war started. like countries like sweden and finland also bits, so they see enormous solidarity with the ukraine and people in no way we do also have a border tricia. so we know what this neighbor is about. even though they have a different policy open to higher than they have.
