the. 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 in meeting cultures around the world, people learn to classify small handful of animals with edible and all the rest of the classify as disgusting. a donkey series about our complex relationship with animals, especially the debate watch. now on youtube, d. w documentary, the london's iconic black caps get an electric transformation, buses and kronos involved to go driver free and trans racing driver, charlie martin on how embracing her authentic self help through excel. right now. on the,

the black cat, london's unofficial mascot now drives through the city electrically. the type of the old tabs was the noise. you know, the thing is, elaine is this discomfort you cramped up. this is so smooth. obviously the most important thing is that we've got 0, make sure i still monies to which finally the icon it look about. this is probably one of the most recognized vehicles in the world. exactly like the black runabouts, but daughter to london, cityscape for over a century the best of all the old traditions. but mary's with new technology. a hole is

a special place in this is in the hopes of 5 many people. peter powell has driven the cap in london for 27 years and he loves his job. is quite unique. you because you're in charge of yourself or it's on you. you got the freedom to go out to work. so should your life stop driving through london? and one of those economists, black pads is special. even today we retain the tradition of the black cab. we've always been voted the the best taxi service in the world. the traditions we don't want me to, to. busy the taxes, like as in, like on the ridge 5 boxes and the boss is despite his love of tradition, peter is happy that he's swapped his diesel cap for an electric. one

s move is not comfortable. it is a, it takes a lot of stress of you guys. this is so smooth. region bright came and makes it loveliest, mover everything from the hard experience. you fantastic family, dc. the company that now builds the electric cabs in a new factory near coventry has shaped the london taxi trade since 19 knowing. using the technical underpinnings of in austin. they develop the bulk c body variance of the theme to london. can the us explore, introduced to 1958, was the company's most popular model, m one o and successors had been based on the spot. the 2008 emission regulations for central london sounded the death knell for the cults. diesel powered taxi?

a. l. e. d c reacted fast with a completely new e d production line supported by chinese car and baker, dealing project manager lloyd bones and ended steam developed in electric london taxi. bringing the venerable british icon in the future. we continue to invest in the taxi product to make it the best taxi in the world and the world's only purposely design taxi. it's not a vehicle that is converted from a van or from a call or from a mini boss. it's the only vehicle in the world that is designed with a clean sheet of paper to meet the requirements of being a taxi, the london conditions of fitness of some of the most stringent taxi regulations in the world. and the new electric model, cx trends since it's d n a back to the fx from 1968. we've

kept the look the same, so things like the proportions around the headlights, the grill. keeping that very, very traditional look. and we've kept flat on the new ts around. so to le headlights that quite a upfront, slightly grilled the proportions along the side of the vehicle. the the long bonus we have a sense sweeping move line at the back of the vehicle. and then inside we've kept the concept of the interior much the same in london keeping the well being of passengers in mind is mandatory london is requirements of very strict in terms of the vehicle length the vehicle with but there's also requirements for it to be wheelchair accessible london was one of the 1st cities in the world to make well cherry sensibilities men to treat all the

taxes in, in 1999. so we have to be able to fit a wheelchair that has to be around for the wheelchair. that's a step. these regulations are very, very restrictive. great importance is also attached to comfort this requirement for the minimum distance between the seats. so that this space for people to sit facing each other. and that has to be a sufficient head room, the folk glories that that was put in place because of people with, with top had some bow, a hats to be able to gets in and cars that transports passengers. and the british capital also has to be right up there in terms of technology requirements of very strict turning circle. so how far we can, we can turn around in the road, how quickly we can do that. the turning circle is 8.8 meters turning circle,

and that's because of the turning points at the savoy hotel. as a boy hotel has a very, very tight entry. the dining suits of wood co. we'd come in on the right hand side as opposed to lift. the only drove in kylie's person to i want to long solve. the problem is, uh yeah, this is all i deal with the taxi is all i feel for this because of the 24 foot telling me circle that it comes here. and here we probably wanna let you out the latest regulation that affects the taxi trade in london. only cars with emission free power trains can now be registered for passenger transport, which has had a huge influence on the black cops to where we see the biggest changes underneath the bonus. and if we look on the old vehicle, we see that a full cylinder,

diesel engine a very much, much of its time in the, in the late eighty's, but quite noisy, quite rationally. not a very good customer experience compared to what we have now. in new t x, where under the bone it is everything to generate electricity. a small fuel based range extender can charge the battery if necessary. the 110 kilowatt electric motor is built directly into the rear axle. in order to keep the total vehicle center of gravity as low as possible, the batteries are tucked away in the floor panels and the entire body is made of aluminum. the individual components are not visited or welded, but rather glued together in a complex process. it's a funded living in chassis,

which originally comes from the aircraft industry. so things like be about a $320.00 a built this way. on top of that, we put compass it panels and to get the, the, the expertise in that type of a 40 design. and we ended up with the engine is who with experience informed me to one another motor sports to come in and help design an engineer the product. and the engineers also manage to build a huge glass roof and to the aluminum body. this allows passengers to get to know the city even better. a london cabbie austin doubles as a tour, guide me the amory out in front of you. where the admin or which you used to pay for like start with the building and the left side of it is a huge hotel. i love the golf.

absolutely. love it. you go to what play just say for the top, for the site to pictures on it's on sometimes here so that i can learn. i'm a little low to lift it up. oh, got random died. there are currently 6500 t x models from l e d. c. on the road in london. and almost half of all london cabs are now electric. the battery capacity is enough for a 130 kilometers or the equivalent of 8 hours of stop and go traffic loading the battery to 80 percent out of fast charger takes half an hour. but being forced to take those breaks doesn't bother peter powell little. when cleaning the cab, you know, so i deals were given me what the written, very, very heavy from the di, my 1st shuttle in the driving seat of one of these, the very 1st guy i knew i was going to buy one of i quite a few checks,

he's on the 27 users, you know, even though this is a very up to die vehicle, a h like conic retrying the, like clinic like we need to keep that like when i told the electric london cat. a great example of how british tradition lives on and motors the mission free and innovatively into the future. the fits 9 am and kronos and christina anderson is ready to get her on usual bus on the road. the more it is, i'm the morning we have to do one room without any passengers to see if the

technology works in it. but if there is a construction site somewhere or something unusual on the roof, where we have to say ok today we can't do this. or you have to be careful here. most of the sofa this a ton of his bus does a lot on its own. driving breaking, accelerating, it precisely follows a virtual blue line. each round trip is 3 kilometers through kronos logos, terrorists. everyone's getting on board. a city bus service is also available, but it only stops at the main tourist location. the rose and back fortress 4 times a day. for steep climb can be tough for some people. enter the autonomy shuttle which runs all day. and it's a welcome compliment to public transport. just like in the town of pope where a shuttle runs from the train station to the city center street through the

pedestrians, down the and re how a tiny bus shuttles back and forth between a production sites. factory and offices on a freeway feeder road with heavy traffic operators are still on board for now, but that's supposed to change some day. it can only happen if the buses are absolutely safe. a 3 d laser 1st scan, the entire route, roads, walls and buildings were recorded as a cloud of points. a digital image of the vehicles environment down to the centimeter. the best route was then calculated. this is the blue line stored in the buses, memory lasers on the roof scan the surroundings for up to 100 meters. as it moves, the laser beams are reflected,

allowing the bus to calculate its current position. software checks the position against the store to route any deviation is immediately corrected. the best remains precisely on the blue line. something in the way the bus comes to a halt. here's the leading. yeah, of the, here's the line where it would automatically pull into the stop on its own. do this out. this is where the car is. so it would collide one die or it stops and waits for the optical to move into an especially in that i can use the controller to steer the shuttle around and then into the bus stop on the dish, the fonts for us. but how safe is the bus to give an obstacle? suddenly it gets in its way to laser beams,

scan the surroundings 50 times a 2nd time. they recognize things that are to close. the bus reacts immediately of the no moment of shock. thanks to the sensors. tube slip is responsible for the development of the safety equipment. he thinks autonomy shuttles will become a reality within the next 5 years. he has high hopes, line indoors. we have around $3000.00 traffic debts in germany every year, even though and 90 percent of the results of human error technology has the potential to eliminate. most of the 90 percent hire. think that knowing supports and so they don't see. the sensors are being constantly improved. the goal is that some day an operator can monitor and guide the shuttles remotely. if this plan gets approved, the buses will then be entirely

a toner and i figured out how it was gonna take my life. i'd say myself into barrett, i just realized i don't even have any connection with the press the star box manual or supported living tional living is here going off. so what 3 things that charlie martin was convinced of the 1st that she was trying to and didn't identify his meals. the agenda she'd been assigned in, but the 2nd, the place she felt most at home was the restrict, the code that you'd never be able to reconcile these 2 worlds. hi, i'm tony moss and i'm a professional racing driver. i'm an l t t t plus activist. i didn't have to be the 1st trends july, the 24 hours of the month. i gray not feeling very limited because or 9 i

was trying to stand it from a young age. i never had any role models growing up. i've never seen anyone like me doing anything the ice by today. and that had the effect of making me feel very limited in terms of my life options. harland, because he was the 1st person that i discovered he was transgender. and up until that point, i didn't realize people could people on this one, gender, feel that a, a or dentist wise is different gender. and then they can actually physically transition in and so on. and so on. so when i saw her, it was like someone telling me will isn't flat, you know, i can't really risk your recombining in my life. why

no, it was about a 1000000 years old. i had a friend co payments and his dad used to race, nope. professionally, but you know, very competitively at club level. and he said, yeah, you know, we're getting racing through cause i never actually been to race track and especially being in the pad it with all the cause being surrounded by, by or these causes very yeah. it's a very kind of intoxication smell thing in that environment. you know, tester lawrence and just wind noise and do something about it but it just yeah, just let a real stock if in peasy hasn't made me so year left seat of a see i made up my mind. this is it. i'm going to 20 some, some bracing myself, but it's pleasure to a 5. was like a hoff finished project. a roll cage had a 16 valve engine, but that was,

it was like, had 4 wheels and the doors on it was like, everything was stripped out of it, but it was something i could afford. the 1st thing i did actually was a sprint, the cobra. but nonetheless, i was, that was completely saying the thing might just bolt onto my own stay. and that was a great feeling coming in stop period. so when i'm starting to struggle, a very struggle with my, my gender identity. and i was like in the morning and see myself in the mirror and i just realized, yeah, i don't, i don't even have any connection with the person started blocking anymore at nothing in my life reading math, it's me anymore because it's just like, well, what's the point you living tional living, see i figured out how it was gonna take my life. and i couldn't, i, you know, i was at a point where i,

i just couldn't even function. you know, i could barely get through the day. and since that breaks down and i thoughts myself, this is this role and i can't do this. and that was january 2012 that i decided to take this is going to transition say transition was the thing that i wanted most in my life. and yet, at the same time, it was the scariest thing could imagine it was this, you know, it was like this huge mountain. the i was terrified of confronting. and i did some light sport and i just don't know what's going on except me in that space. charlie's family and friends convinced her not to be softened, racing 9 months into her medical transition, which involved hormone replacement therapy and surgery. she's had done to

a race track for the 1st time. products get a slight scariest thing to imagine. it's not in my car. i'm going to set my car, the car park, just thinking well, i'd have to do this just very high. you know enough nice. fortunately, 7 or 8 of my close friends are race. we came, i the serving a give me because you know, they were like, you clean heart racing next you when you get see the love i felt that gesture was a really profound thing and made a mess. it impacts impacts if they hadn't done that, i wouldn't come back the next year, 2 years into the transition, charlie began attacking her motorcycle gould with renewed vigor and then you found confidence. things began looking up and hopefully you like pens for probably the hardest part of that experience. and i just don't like confidence self belief that

i'd never 9 and my whole heights. and i think that had a huge impact noticed on racing, but on so many levels on just how you think of the function. it's like having compete said it's fairly old and slight and you installed a new operating system and you picked it up and it's like from let's go good. you want to do what you want. okay. that's. that's what it felt like me. i went on so did it around to differentiate like championship and i one by 3 seconds and i break plus record by 2 seconds which and who clinton is. it's like a lot. i mean, i just went there when it's in the sky has experience and have you want me to surprise me included like where does that come from?

62017 was my last year till clinic. and at the end of that year there was a within the, within the team structure, there was the opportunity to do an endurance race in the call. i looked at the counting deck. if i did budget to the one rice, i looked sign those ones with the pop telling me long november 2017. so wow. 3 are in deer and thrice enterprise to type out the loan. of course not the 24 hour cost is to be se 2nd, but nonetheless i never so in my wildest dreams that i can stand on the podium at the moment. a note just not just me, but real me. and i just remember thinking, chasing if i could, if i can see that, if i can get this fall,

then that's like it's like a sign. it's like, can i have? it's like you could, you could try and you gotta keep going and try and make this happen. us and race and the 20 for us of them on for real. whether i got on the paid him or not us. another thing in the slice i want to help other people find the happiness that i found. and i also want other people to understand the role they can play and facilitating more inclusive environment square. everybody can be that true. well, st itself, when you're brave you, you take risks. sometimes it doesn't great way you want that, that more often than not you, you like i took a foster on the corner. i can, i can take that, that corner in foster care contact according fiscal. you, you just continually push the boundaries, push your limits of what's comfortable with what,

what's cheaper pulling into for long you have to cards and sit in build something very yeah. very real insight. i think 70, i'm pretty surprised. i think stuff in your child is is pretty coffee cuz i never imagined that thing so either way down now. so i think i feel like i've had to wait for some type of patient assistance, but i think sorry, right now is like a good time. so yeah, i think 7 year old me repeat be pretty like the may a big part of it is the leading impulse benefits. yeah. if you break something is possible, you, you get a guy, you get a 100 percent ross been told to yourself out of it. say, i always said this is impossible. i can't do that. this isn't for me. so you send

me flip that around and you think okay, is possible and i, i just prove and i can do that. what else can i do? wait a go, charlie and stay tuned for more automotive hope street was in possibilities. and the next step is owed up rather, the

food is full pleasures. health and environmental protection. so greenhouse gases come from production folks, what kind of to so good for the climate. how should we go about developing climate resilience, vegetables, and what are the key considerations for sustainable tomorrow to this?

in 30 minutes on the w. i always know we looking mom, i want children, i want a career. i can make it what is have this. i told them of this and they said you trying to do when it was renewed with rest and existing structure. simon, break the room. mother skin, the board room, combining children and careers that took courage. the, the only way i can be on top is to create my own empire, discover stories to just to take away the journey, the destination, right? face document, trees. subscribe. now.
