Really to pray to god he created bad history for us but now its the end of his life.

The line calvin. Death may bring some satisfaction to cambodians but more than 4 decades after the fall of the camaro rouge the regimes painful legacy lives on. In the u. S. President donald trump visited the city of commercial wisconsin following days of unrest there trying to offer support for the police and the accused cues the black lives matter protesters of spreading what he called domestic terror they say he is not addressing the countrys racial divide us. President trump arrived in commotion on choose day with a firm message of law and order he condemned last weeks protests vowed to help local businesses damaged during the demonstrations as well as defending and praising Law Enforcement. To stop the Political Violence we must also confront the radical ideology that includes this violence reckless far left politicians continue to push the destructive message that our nation and our Law Enforcement are oppressive or racist theyll throw out any word. That comes to. The president s visits prompted more unrest Trump Supporters and black lives matter protest has faced off as he arrived with members of the black community condemning his visit. This is us they were yeah because these come down for the wrong reason hes not coming there to help hes coming down here to force the issue of racism hes not foot of a few not for the country right now since he became president ma pain. A lot of doors a race and have opened up an ocean was left partly in ruins following days of violent protests after police shot africanamerican resident jacob blake in the back in late august local leaders had to stay away to prevent inflaming tensions others disagreed. I feel its a its a good time for him to come any time because he brings he wants to bring comfort and peace to america. And people are hurting right now over all this and i feel its a good time for him because i support him i think the president coming here might make it favor here lots of secret service so for the day so but i think tomorrow when he leaves it might make it worse so i have mixed feelings. Wisconsin is a crucial battleground state in the november election trump won narrowly here in 2016 and hes determined to keep it republican as he seeks a 2nd term. And im joined now by. Who is a lecturer at toro college in berlin and an expert on u. S. Politics and history welcome to the program how polarizing do you see trumps visit to can osha. Yeah working for the invitation. But President Trump was this visit no shows concent is doing everything to stoke the polarization of the united states. That he wants to focus on the rioting and looting and on the things that he is the president can do against it and this is an open flank i think for the Democratic Party which it must close for so. Yes because time for his part is saying that the protests the address that has sometimes turned violent shows the country needs someone who is tough on crime he says he is the law and order candidate are the protests in a virtually helping his reelection efforts yes i think that is the danger more protests and more out there will be in the coming weeks and more and its going to help the salute president new Republican Party because violence rule. Touch Prime Minister years on the part of the population while long suit you cannot fight an injustice with another injustice you cannot fight the racism of the u. S. And the Police Violence meet with other kind of violence to keep the Higher Ground this is very important surely for the political left and for organizations like my black and i was matter to keep the higher moral ground you. Need to send out the message in the sense that Martin Luther king and the man in the 19th sixtys we are not violent we dont stoop down to that right but that was the 1960 s. Now were looking at 2020 so talk to us a little bit about the the messages that were hearing from both parties at the level of traction that theyre getting with voters so for example what were hearing from democrats and joe biden is that they will unite the country is that likely to play well with the electorate. Yes but i think the democratic candidate needs to do more than just give speeches in which he condemns the rioting he needs to in his campaign be so were with black lives matter in other were going to say sions theyre involved in the protest and and sure create a kind of public pact that they will abstain from violence and it may also mean that theyre accredited mares that credit governors will have to rely more on who police force and under National Guard to contain the violence early on any violence that any writing that continues for a long time i can portland is going to how are.

Invasive whats a high sense and how they are being put to good use in ghana. And we shed a light on a new trend around the mobility in africa and you wrote. In egypt that the bad means i would turn into a more sustainable life due to the pandemic stage you know. We start the show focusing on the future of mobility lots and lots of people good whites on motorbike taxis in many countries across africa like nigeria they are the number one means of transport especially in places like legal us but they are dirty and thats why in the ugandan capital kampala the plan is to switch electric motors and not just for the motor bikes but all kinds of vehicles especially since more and more people finally realize that Transportation Needs to become more eco friendly and sustainable. Francis is one of the few people in uganda driving an electric motor bike. He sees a lot of advantages to wheat. Number one it is silent. Number 2 doesnt clean fuel at all number 3 who. Claims very well. Ok as food deliveries being eagerly awaited play a pregnant customer. Since he serves them few well he can charge less than his competitors. Hes actually very cheap to buy them in the end. I think. They go there that people praise so literally it has been convenient for me in kampala alone there are about a 130000 motorcycles open borders the masses of motorized fake cause generate a huge amount of air pollution that is why the United NationsEnvironment Program provides advice and Financial Support for electric mobility in Eastern Africa we needed the media response we need intermediary interventions and electric mobility is one of those because its. Not required to infrastructure needs they dont need so you can have your computer. And go on. Development past valid path requires pioneers blake been located korea and. The graduates of arkin university in germany had a problematic idea take feel ready existing fuel motorbikes in kampala and transform them into electric bikes. So all we remove is what you call the petrol powered train petrol driven. Board and the electric. Same bike fuel trying to save energy of course. And what we put inside is mainly a controller in the Electrical Solar electric motor. A battery as a source of power replacing the fuel tank. Some digital controls of throttle lithium ion batteries recovered from all going up talks are assembled into Rechargeable Battery units for the e. Bike and the recycling loop continues even when the batteries become too weak to use in the e. Bikes so what we do get a new about trees use it for the mobility after that when they lose a bit of power we either put it we put it in Storage Systems like our. Power resolves one loses again. Our we go through tortures another small obligations before it goes through to be disposed. Delivery month francis or clear is one of the 20 drivers testing the transformed bikes. On average he has to return to board a walk twice a day to recharge. The batteries for the evening to have less than 3 euros a day. All in all these is kind of his operating costs by half.

He had worked for a Solar Energy Company for several years before he decided to try to make company as motor bikes cleaner with his startup zembla he now imports cutting edge electric motor bikes from china. Each one sells for about a 1000 euros thats quite a bit of money. The drivers can pay over a period of 2 years. And the bikes are tailored to their specific needs here our driving mode is different than chinese person commuting to work here we really look into productive he was and hundreds of kilometers every day. For a small fee of just over half a euro. Can exchange to botching playfully charged one. This important like so full of grain since the electricity comes from the solar energy on top of the companys beauty. This Green Technology behind francis of deliveries is a sign of hope in 2 ways providing for peoples needs in the local dollars and for clean the country was the pandemic is over. Great ideas but the question arises what will mobility look like in the future this is an increasingly important question for large metropolitan areas in europe and mission free Electrical Solutions are becoming more popular and this also includes a new generation of the socalled tiny because they are small colorful and as easy to charge as a smartphone the vehicles which compete with bicycles and scooters may 1 day become a sustainable means of transport in cities. These tiny funny looking a lightweight vehicles are the future of the ability costing as little as 6000 here. And there as easy to charge as the smart phone just connecting to your homes callus off it for 3 hours and if you break to go. To shorten it this is really exciting. To be here in the eastern us when i do the idea is that we need electric vehicles that work for the masses as if. You really want to be eco friendly you need to think from a point of saying how much car do i really need what type of vehicle do i really need do i really need it for. There is and then a mental conscience emerging not only the Regulatory Environment the only generation the people who live around us but it doesnt mean that mobility should be restricted french comic is its plan is the 1st manufacturer to mass produce an electric t. C. T. The economy weighs in at a 550 feet and is limited to a top speed of 45 kilometers an hour that means and some European Countries even 14 year olds to get behind the wheel. On one as a percent i mean think is going to be. Or any. Generation. To which. I mean its a statement and brings you back this freedom of individual mobility. Compact very much in the 1950 s.

Kind of guy who likes finding solutions to big challenges that fulfills me the future will be all about cooperation im sure. If we want to launch a bubbly Energy Efficient cars or. Weve already got enough large aggressive super fast cars on our streets. Then even lets customize the look of their electric compact car its really simple. And local its a c. N. N.

And it doubles as a taxi to the plan is to mass produce these vehicles in asia thats where pounds i bought initially drew inspiration for his compact car idea. Started of course we drove around and took took this well so it was incredibly fun and we were driving around in these minimalist vehicles with out windows milling the wind and experiencing everything much more vividly i mean. That changed my view on getting around cities. And small vehicles can be even more fun than really big ones when youre driving around city centers. Will compact cars catch on once they hit the market and help make electric vehicles mainstream only time will tell.
