hey, i, you know, are this, i know we are not afraid to happen. delicate topic. african population is really fast. and young people clearly have the solution. the future loans in the 77 percent every weekend on d. w. a new getting goods from a to b has always been central to economic growth. but in turbulent times, existing trade routes can't be taken for granted in

a moment will take you to georgia. it's a key gateway between china and the new. and crucially, one that's circumvents russia, but 1st a look at what else we have coming up. a new juncture, driving change in car loving india. here comes the sun pakistan embraces renewables. and how a trainee doctor from columbia has made germany for new home. i'm k, ferguson. welcome to mate. now once upon a time the silk road was a v gateway to global trait, dating back to the 2nd century b. c. e. it refers to a series of routes that connected europe and asia up until the middle ages. traders would spend up to 2 years, transporting silk, spices and far as across the 6000 kilometer long route, crossing through deserts and mountains along the way. the flourishing trade in lead

to the establishment of whole new cities like summer kind and blue kara, in modern days back as done as the shipping industry developed the importance of the route wayne's. but in recent years, china has thought to rejuvenate its role in connecting trading partners. why investing in a new self road? among the countries involved is georgia. it's geographical position means it can act as an asian european connection that avoids russia. an advantage in these times of geopolitical tension. call house and park sent us this report with capital coo blush really drives up and down george's narrow highways every day. today, he'll be taking his truck over the infamous recalls. he pass on the route from back to me on the black sea coast. ted bark, who in as by john the old road as possible at the moment. but it's a different matter when this heavy snow crew blush,

philly's hoping that will change with the new highway isabel reserve, our fathers on the new highway will make it easier for us to drive more safely, which will mean fewer accidents and traffic jams. although i've been honest men of potholes as now, how are you all that information that we really made driving difficult. walker dealt with the east west highway is part of china's belton road initiative, also known as the new silk road. even if the world bank is helping to finance the upgrade, the china road and bridge corporation estate own company is in charge of construction . the work as a chinese, even the equipment and materials a chinese. many of the residents living along the old road sell souvenirs for living. they make ceramics, they get good business, especially during the summer soccer overrule the

new highways. goods, anniversary of progress is always good. but for us villages it's bad because we'll lose our customers. our business would be better along this old road out here, long run for sort of construction is progressing slowly in this tough terrain. this stretch won't be finished for years. georgians are employed as drivers or assistance at the construction site, directing traffic. for example, for 7 years a day out, we don't care, we've got work. 80 percent of the residents here support the highway construction. we finally got work. we're not complaining. but in a nuclear plans for a modern, deep sea port, her founded a consortium led by u. s. and george and companies had secured pledges for financing. the black sea is deep enough here to accommodate freighters that can hold more than 9000 steel

shipping containers. it would have been a key logistics hub, acting b e u in china. but in january 2020, the georgian government put on the brakes much to the dismay of local residence at mount dorothy too, if there were a port our lives would improve akira they not just in a nuclear, it would be good for all if georgia low. i still hope the port will be built. we will donate minds. probably euro president promises everything, but nothing happens over. if our old president, we shall shock us really what stone office the poor would already be built or will you deliver them with georgia could become an important staging post between the e u and asia. a gateway to the new. so crow to and from china. and one that sack invents russia, the so called middle corridor back to georgia to the port

city of pouty. the port is owned by danish shipping company mask. an rollinson is in charge here. right now, only smaller container ships conduct possi to be economically viable on the new so growed it would have to accommodate much larger vessels. the harbor would have to be 17 meters deep rather than 8 meters. as it is now, we have another $100.00 hacked as of land which is currently undeveloped. and those we will develop. we will at 700 meters of detroit. he. we will dredge down to 50 meters. we will build an in break water to protect the new bus from the, from the weather and that will enable us to handle the deepest vessels which cool into the black sea. today. the push of the to me near potty is also hitting its

limits and it to can't accommodate the largest vessels. if the new silk road middle corridor through georgia is to become competitive and everything will have to become bigger and more efficient. the harbor base and then back to me will have to be dredged so bigger container ships can dog their proposed d port. a port at a natalie out would have been better suited to the job. many georgians believe the deep sea port at analia was torpedoed by russian interests. they say pressure was exerted on the georgia government brazil gears were jealous also no reliable. russia is blocking the port in a nuclear because it wants to honda, you all hold you down in a well organized middle court or is important to us. and that requires the a nuclear port nicole to dollars that we got to go to gold rewards. they're both

well, not really. recently, george's government has said it's considering reviving the and actually a project chuck driver, job luke, who blush really also hopes the deep sea port will get the green light after all. then he wouldn't have to worry about getting enough work, travel or next or for it brings us to bangalore in india, rising. our ownership has made it one of the most pollution cities in the country, threatening health and lessening quality of life. the trend is playing out in urban design to with car centric visions domination, residential planning. but is there another approach? oh, round the world from paris did vienna. everybody's trying to solve the transport problem. busy my wife casa, is in the west, have mostly stagnated, developing countries like india, still at the beginning of the curve. and things have changed dramatically here,

just since i was growing up in bangalore. now when i make my, he only trips home, the city has changed so much that i barely even recognize it. to understand what take started this, we need to rewind to a dime when i was this tiny. as i was taking my 1st steps in the i was seeing a leap forward in 1090 is the central government liberalized, the economy luring import tariffs on taxes. which meant among other things that the car market could mature. bangla city specifically began to sell itself as issues id. hobb. american companies outsource their soft by work here, and people from around the country migrated the population and income source. as did costing burmese by severe god always has been a salesman. i want to keep improving the thought i have, i still use ideally because that with that, so back to car ownership in india is still very low compared to european or north

american countries. and almost due to all of the population still cycles walks that takes public transport like buses or metro but over 80 percent of people. so they say they would like to own a car which adds up over the country's population, economic spiting, as well as the society. the aspiring is often conflicts with these larger and sustainable development goods. it is not the situation when americans were getting well there. are you open sort of good thing when the so they enjoyed, you know, their time by enjoying their well, enjoying god, etc. but today in bins i told not to do so. and off of this has been more than want cities, responses have historically been to create more space for cars, widening roads, where they can are building fly offers. but professor goodman's research shows that infrastructural interventions will never be effective. any opportunity where you cleared more space road space to accommodate more sportsman vehicles would only

increase more and more people buy on their cars because it's affordable. we have still not read the situation level, so in no time save in 6 months, you would realize that that extra wired and spreads the do created is again filled with the cars. often your designs have been directly copied from the west, conceived by planners who visited us citizen, the 19 nineties and brought back road maps. but these don't work in cities that are so densely built and have no space for cars. trucks or su, these no drive on roads that can barely handle do at a time such cost centric designs have spilled onto the way newer residential complexes from landlord to new delhi are being developed to this complex came up with on the, on a go. and that are a 1000 plus families living here to access their basic needs, like food off schools. they have to walk a minimum of say, 15 minutes,

which isn't really practical. and so people living here, i'm much more likely to become more and more dependent on their cars. 15 minutes may not sound like much, but it isn't exactly a cakewalk. because centric design tends to ignore the development of all other forms of transport, including walking, cycling, even to go to the bus stop, which are all of course, more climate friendly and obstacle course for me. but for the elderly or those with disabilities, the problems are much, much worse. and this is having a disastrous impact on indian cities. air pollution is on the rise across the country and the quantity of indexes dropping. where one's children ticket on the streets cause now park, globally, regal emissions are soaring, faster than any other sector. but it isn't just cars, do we lose or the most commonly own private vehicles. and almost all freight in india is transported by chuck and both contribute significantly. you for

yourself like giving up your car or anything else? not only, no. i think because of our roads and just the traffic. yeah, no, i was not going anywhere anytime soon. when i do for you guilty, i know that all that carbon footprint, but then what do you do if there is no other system in place, you do have to have a car. the government at central and state level need to have a very clear card, focused policies to nudge the travel choices and behavior. in a way that you make these and tentative mort over to a promo thing, whether it is public transport or walking cycling. as water tech to more, to use policies that distance in devices, the personal vehicles and their use and incentivizes the use of public transport, walking, cycling, changing the way people interact with transport, have and is happening the world over. especially after the pandemic brought some of

these issues painfully light. since january 2021, france a flap to wait tax on heavy vehicles like su visa, adding as much as $40000.00 euros to a new car price dak. copenhagen has been over 400 kilometers a bike live experts, a pilot product when needed before such concepts are fully adopted in india. sometimes when you would use people solution back work, lexi border and just prove it directly in a small town of teams helping the us. it is tricky. it may not work. so what you do need to do is bring the concept quickly tested on the ground to see does this walk in our, the buzzword at the moment is transit oriented development, which is to put public transport like buses on metro's at the center and develop life around in the best, even a small percentage, less than like 5 percent off the funds that are invested into the metro for

improving access with been the neighborhood around metro stations that launched populations living in the center could be the black system at the moment, over 80 percent of public spending goes to big ticket products like fly or was and highways. the rest a split between buses and metro's with less than 2 percent. going to improve lives for cyclists and walkers. if we have to go back to the deals and redo it on, things might be quite different. of course it's always easier in retrospect, but india is still developing and still has a rare chance to leap frog into a sustainable future. so at a difficult point in dying where millions of people still have unfulfilled aspirations, but we need to find creative ways to put the planet and the quality of people's lives back in the center of the story. creative solutions are also being forced in

neighboring pakistan, which finds itself in the grips of a power crisis. widespread black, i asked you to crumbling infrastructure and made worth by devastating floods. have highlighted the urgent need for a new energy policy. at present, the countries still relies heavily on imported fossil fuels, but there are hopes that solar could provide a brighter future ah, crumbling transmission infrastructure, massive black house, and rising electricity bells. these are only a few of the many problems that face millions of household, some businesses in pakistan. and if we have 9 hours of power cuts, daily payment of water bills are much more costly, some monthly bills on our $5.00 times higher bidder. and we cannot afford electricity, and our mental health is suffering. y'all don't like the like me out,

the bills keep increasing, but sometimes we don't even have electricity for up to 3 hours. they did focus on the energy sector heavily. there lies on fossil fuel to 64 percent off. it select the speed to produce with the bloated oil gas and good, but the raising fuel and gas prices often rushes in region, a few grain good ink, countries like pockets on today because that put measures valuation from dimensional video with energy sources here in the middle of a concrete jungle, sunny weather and roof tops work together to generate solar power. dozens of photo voltaic panels are installed on the dr. ruth found several hospitals, 12 different rooftops, hair in karachi maintenance engineers, a at our salon. ali says the solar system has a maximum capacity of $1.00 megawatts, and it will be operational for at least 2 decades. b,

b currently generation. this is operational now. michelle, her or do believe it generates around $7000.00 units of electricity, daily hospital, and covers 40 percent of the civil hospital's power requirements a which are later adjusted by the karachi electric company. i just wanna give it a pakistan's goal is to increase the ratio of renewable energy sources like solar and wind power to 60 percent by 2030 currently less than 2 percent of the countries. electricity is generated by solar power since solar energy projects. director matthews arc met kazi says that 35 public sector hospital buildings have transitioned to solar energy generating 20 megawatts across the southern province of send. thanks to funding from the world bank market on roman called me and tom i have drawn to pakistan in visions that 20 percent of the national grid will run on solar energy by 2030. so this will get, we're using thermal power and imported fuels,

which is why prices are soaring with its own government. the same government has used this project to revitalize 35 hospitals that say 12 of which are in karachi. and we've already generated 6760000 units of electricity this, which is equivalent to a 120000000 tons of carbon emissions 1000000 tons of the club one. and we show that the equivalent amount of carbon emitted in oxygen produced by around $13.00 to $14000.00 trees, with those k ah, more industries and commercial organizations in pakistan attending to solar solutions. and in recent years, there's been a strong surge in the domestic installation of rooftop photovoltaic panels. but the country's slumping economy and record high inflation is daunting. the growth of the solar power industry. because he can be, it was on that now prices have increased even more than before. lunch. get it. so some taxes are decreasing. now grandma, but price is depend on the exchange rate. when the value of the us dollar increases,

li prices go higher than the job already juggling office. the tragic impacts of climate change can also be observed in the recent floods that devastated pakistan, causing a total of $30000000000.00 us dollars in damages and economic losses. the development of renewable energy strategies with low carbon transmission is a race against time and poses an uphill battle for the country, especially during its current state of economic and political uncertainty. one expert says that pakistan needs to also focus on supporting the local manufacturing of vital components like batteries to reduce its dependency on impulse. we have to have a very friendly policy to work with the adoption of solar, which means we have to reduce bottlenecks as far as financing is concerned. as far as getting this equipment from neighboring china, if that is way more. so the, a production of these equipment lies and we have to also incentivize into denies ng, the equipment manufacturing of solar, banners,

and inverters and back face of that. yet further able to reduce costs and any supply chain bottlenecks that might exist in the future. more so the plants could solve pakistan's, chronic energy crisis, but transitioning to renewable energy requires dependable, long term policies, extensive investment and technical support from both the local and international communities. now here in germany, we often hear about skills shortages, especially in the health care sector, where policy makers are keen to attract howard from abroad. internet support will meet daniela wisc, a training doctor from colombia, his chosen to make germany her home. i mean, and when, if my name is daniella kill langley, i'm from bugger to columbia. i'm 26 years old. and at the moment i work as a doctor in berlin readily

in columbia. is it a little, it's relatively difficult in columbia for doctors to specialize in idol. there just aren't any residency spots and specializing is really expensive. i think i have better career opportunities here and i live in germany. doctors receive a monthly salary during their residency. that's completely out of the question in columbia. rita heal, in saudi, i as one of the world's leading university hospitals. we welcome people from all over the world to empower health care science and teaching only money at the national process will. germany has a unique procedure for recognizing the qualifications of doctors trained outside the country you want to specialize. they have to take 2 different tests, opening nato for them a 1st. they take an oral exam to determine whether they have the linguistic skills needed to practice medicine in german or get them being that they can speak well

enough to attend to patients and determine what symptoms, what acute symptoms they're experiencing in level one, the prophy, i'm the 2nd is a state exam to make sure that foreign doctors have the medical knowledge, they need a spectral, amazing la co here, my colleagues have been a really big help for him. can even a little mean think i have received a lot of support here in germany allowed us. i speak german, but there are still a few words that might need correcting. and sometimes it's just the accent what america my colleagues are always there for me and they help me remember. so they tell me about medicines i might not have known about in columbia. the team works well together. i feel supported and i've learned a lot to deal with and produces leveling that started learning german 3 years ago. and i started in

columbia in practice every day. german is a difficult language and nissan your profession. my dream is to finish my residency in germany and then to open a practice here. my own practice, where i'd also be able to treat spanish speaking patient. yeah, that's, i mean is complete and i look offense. when i arrived in berlin, i saw right away, how multicultural it is, the people who live here come from all over the world. i mean, can you, can i 1st, i thought it would be hard to find people who speak spanish, but a lot of people here speak it. well, if i come in, can tell me what i love about berlin in germany is the feeling of safety. i can walk around on my phone without worrying about being robs and let me get out. but emigrating isn't as easy as it sometimes made out to be on social media. it's

a process that requires discipline focus and perseverance. he owned, but down here. oh, oh, that's me. now i miss my family all the time. i tried to do a video cool with them every day. someone that i knew i spent a lot, i really loved columbia and seeing the key math. i buy things that remind me of home name and sweet and also said them immune a yell will be your thought. yeah, no, but our yes, but i think i always miss my country in my family. he's in the, in the angle fix that i know both those the job. i mean that i would definitely recommend that all my doctor colleagues in columbia come to germany to do their residency on. yeah, it's worth the risk and brings you so many benefits when you do it more children, most of our lives, sometimes you just have to go for it. and that brings us to the end of this edition

of made for me in the team. it's good bye and ticket with ah, with

ah, with a conflict with sebastian you says it will stand with you crane for as long as it takes us with joining the union. so a long way to go with the war now it's 2nd year. what happened to the sense of urgency about a new membership here, so we're so vital,
