A shaky future technology is overtaking the inventions of the past. So what is the future of driving well new admissions for the systems using a range of technologies that are Climate Friendly and non polluting some models are already on the road Battery Powered like. A gulf a fully electric vehicle with a range of three hundred kilometers at the top speed of one hundred fifty kilometers an hour. The sun powers this prototype zeon made up or made by a munich start up its for solar panels on the roof and even comes with moss as an air filter our green is that its two out next year and then there are Hydrogen Powered vehicles that use fuel cell technology. Reporter joachim x. Is went to hamburg for a spin in a toyota mirai to see how the hydrogen car handles on the road lets take a right. Look a bit ungainly put this car isnt trying to win a beauty contest. Its powered by hydrogen gas pumped into the car right here. There are just three hundred cars like this in the whole of germany. Currently toyota and honda are the only money factories to offer them here according to zillow. She works for a company that promotes Hydrogen Fuel infrastructure today shes taking us on test been through humbug. So whats it like. In your have to give it a try and get behind the wheel on the. High road and so you know what i figured. Out because it belongs to the company i work for h two modality that in fact i just ordered myself on. The force not exactly cheap and no its not what does it cost. Them with the help of government incentives you can lease a car like this for about six hundred years a month. Or so on it would cost about seventy five thousand. To buy one. That said list price. Seventy five thousand euros would normally get you a luxury model so its no surprise that toyota leases most of its hundred fuel vehicles the car makers hoping to win over germans to the idea of Hydrogen Powered emissions free vehicles. As with everything ok but there. Were about to go into a tunnel how long is it that. Kind no idea if you call your local or the so very. Probably going north of south and south under the l. The river so not to adelaide. The way you could that would be no problem with Hydrogen Fuel on our app you can even see where you can get fuel but one of the ill be taking my own mare i on a ski holiday later this month well get fuel in the spirit and we could also fill up in bulk sonam these Days International travel with a Hydrogen Powered car is no problem amazing isnt it. That. You believe us company h two mobility is working to expand the network of fueling stations to hundreds and cars. The start of the space them berlin and receives funding from the German Government and industry partners. Fueling stations cost about one Million Euros each so does building them even make economic sense. Now is or does markets always growing on parallel in other words what infrastructure and consumer numbers are growing hand in hand the infrastructure for structure house to be a step ahead or take the first step in who will have one hundred fueling stations rattled by a twenty nineteen wins in and were seeing the number of cars and vehicle fleets girl cordingley. Currently germany has just forty one Hydrogen Fuel filling stations like this one in hamburg. Total and shell are two of the Companies Involved in h two mobility. Along with diesel and gasoline they also offer one hundred in fuel its sold by white not volume here it costs nine euros fifty per kilo are the range to talk to a customer how much did he get hurts i want to kill of just under twenty one year and so on so i will feel like how far can you drive on those thomas has a kilo about doubt about it can vary. But. Now its my turn. Now to thank you for this to. What is really interesting. Its about where in short order is the one going to yes you were kind enough to sign a liability when he meant greenman. And i take it of course he signed one stop cut it here if i want to know when i can finally push the power mode but i want. That money in my lets wait until we stop the light then youll really notice the exoneration. Its like when intense green will see. Burke here we go im here we go. I jumped out of a cell about it for. No money run run. I think what happens if i now crash into a car. Will we blow up because of all the hardest on board would be ended up with him. And is something people are worried about hydrogen is so light that immediately dissipates if you have a crash and if you have an accident with a gasoline powered vehicle the gasoline can leak onto the ground it remains flammable for some time afterwards but hydrogen is lighter than air so it disperses in the end i like. To help. My manage to avoid crashing the car just as well of communities and reversing. Hopes well be seeing more hard to jump out cars in the future. Mercedes you certain launched the worlds first plug in hard to be a gold later this year. As you often found out Hydrogen Fuel cells are the admitted water as a byproduct and dont need additional inputs so if a sustainable source generates the hydrogen the take is truly green even greener than the hydrogens biggest competition in replacing petrol and diesel lithium ion batteries expensive full of rare earths and Energy Intensive in production none the less theyre stealing the spotlight test the plans to triple battery production here in europe asian giants like samsung is setting up plants to tap into the growing market the battery cells german firms are finally realizing theyve got some catching up to do. Hes far too slow on the development. These are markets potentially worth billions of euros. What were lacking is experience and how to manufacture millions of these products. The products theyre all talking about battery cells they may not look that spectacular but theyre the beating heart of electric carts. It takes several hundred of them stacked together to provide the electricity that will power the motor. Electric and hybrid cars are growing in popularity due to their promising future german built models however have until now been powered by batteries made in asia not in germany itself and the countrys own Car Manufacturers have shown little interest in getting to production on the road. We do not believe theres any point making them in europe right now theres a global overcapacity in this market. Sees things differently hes found a consortium bringing together companies and Research Institutions to establish production in germany was imus we have to remember one thing thats developing and implementing large Scale Production of battery cells cant be done in two years. We need to start today if we want to have a share in this market in ten years time. Then join the console on its inception last year his company and the various assembles eighty million bucks a year from various industries now he is among those investing in the production of electric cars sells a market worth billions of euros germany he says needs to get in on the action. Then a lot of the engineers employed by asian firms to make the battery cells come from germany and a lot of the chemistry used in them likewise. Comes from germany. So we have the Raw Materials and we have the engineering expertise to produce cells the problem is the size of the investment needed and the speed of development thats what deters many in germany. Most of. These by chased by some still spend dollars consortium need several hundred Million Euros to start up production of battery cells in germany but theyre now facing increased competition leading manufacturer such as. Plants in europe to supply cells to comment on the continent while the germans the koreans are already up and running. But the German Government is now set to charge up Domestic Production its committed around four hundred Million Euros to the development of production. And this mandatory availability will be a critical issue as demand grows from the one question is whether we will manage to acquire enough batteries from elsewhere. Carmakers in particular are starting to recognize that they need more control over how things develop in the future. So cars coming off the Assembly Line here at b. M. W. Could one day have german battery cells onboard if they post superior quality but thats not the only factor involved. In companies that are innovative and quick to respond to start ups with the determination and ability to make a battery without much fuss. That is impossible when you need five signatures to get each step approved which is typical for germany. In korea things are different there you have one person taking all the decisions and the risks germans arent keen on risks. So while the german comm make his take a back seat investment some risks being borne by others. Not the worst of strategies just that germany risks being left behind. Well germanys labor market is booming bass numbers in a quarter century but so good theres a shortfall of skilled workers and professionals of over a million trades people are especially in demand the shortage forcing bosses to employ underqualified workers or pay a lot more for specialized stuff many positions are left unfilled as a result companies cant keep up with orders theyre paying penalties for the late deliveries forking out extra for overtime forty four percent of firms say that theyre stretched way past their limit just try ordering a plumber or capital here fat chance of finding one. Master roofer klaus is one of the most sought after men in westphalia. Good soft legal i dont take on major jobs for new clients he and his team work hard but theres only six of them. As i get to the last year the market has been so busy that we really need three times as many people but we dont have them i cant get anybody to come you know given to him. If youre. His right hand man is his son lucas. Them and im fond of. Its great to leave work in the evening and see something youve made teachers for instance dont immediately see the results of what theyve been doing all day but i can leave a construction site and say i made that and then years later ill pass by and say look i did that roof. He wants to pass on his enthusiasm by giving High School Students a chance to see what he does hed like to take on some apprentices and the business needs. Its a moment im still in training but this summer ill be working full time and ill be taking over the business. But theres a serious lack of young skilled craftsman in germany around fifteen thousand trainee positions arent filled in westphalia Business Owners have formed an association that gives young people and opportunity to try out various jobs where. You go then i might believe god its good to cost around and see whats out there maybe with a trial during School Breaks i think that gives you a handle on base sort of work you go away having formed an impression and can decide if you think it suits you. Thats my mother in a long time and again rupert lucas has to admit that young people just dont think his line of work is very cool. If you study you can get a better job and then i guess you are more money get. It go over thats a mistake to think that College Graduates earn a lot more than a skilled craftsman. The hourly rate is at least sixteen year olds twenty one for a foreman and thats not bad money and the left doesnt need to be. Next door these young people are retraining businesses are very keen to recruit them a lot of them come from office jobs or work that just didnt suit them. When theyre left with at school you think an office job will be pretty cushy but in fact its not as easy as you think and for one day. The money could save the glans do have one young man training with them heres one complaint he doesnt like working outside in winter and freezing cold hands all day long here. So its hard work. Hes not planning on quitting his apprenticeship but his bosses know that theyll have to make him an offer he cant refuse if they want to keep him on. Hes an offer i would be able to turn down stay at home to look after the kids more most fathers are doing it but could it hurt your career we spoke to two dads who had very different experiences. I wanted to spend time with my children that was the starting point every day life not just showing up friday evening and leaving again with day sunday real life like taking them to can the gato school just every day activities. I wish id had a years parental leave to one year for the mother one for me or part time work until my daughter started school. But his boss was against it this father doesnt want to be identified because he still fears threat for questions. To fathers in germany and their issues with reconciling work and family york as musson is a well known economist he worked for the finance ministry and was involved in tackling the financial crisis of two thousand and seven he then moved to the European Central bank as a member of the executive board. Gala but he said he i would have liked to stay at the e. C. B. It would have been fantastic doing Monetary Policy for europe the bank would have been supportive and understanding. The problem was its based in frankfurt and commuting was no longer an option once i had children. So he resigned that evidently touched a nerve. I was surprised by the flood of emails and posts ranged from your my role model to your an idiot. More and more men in germany want to be closely involved in raising their children Many Employers however are dead set against that and create obstacles. Our anonymous father is an Insurance Agent he wanted to look after his daughter when she was little but his Company Refused to play along. With the boss said no he was very disparaging to the whole idea of real men dont look after kids thats womens work might as well start wearing stockings. It was really nasty you know what it was to want to look after your children as well his prejudices were ironclad an antiquated they dont belong in the present day and age but that was no consolation. Since he had to continue feeding his family he stuck it out. Not everybody can just find another job i couldnt moving to a Different Department would have been hard for me taking parental leave only to face years of punishment at work afterwards is not such a great idea. As to your gas misson after he left the e. C. B. He joined the Labor Ministry in berlin. Then he applied for a job at the k F W Development bank he didnt get it he says the problem was making time for his family. Just as kind of career wise not getting the job at the caf doubly was a setback i had to start over it was frustrating but you mustnt went on things like that but move on. I did find a good job with an employer who understood that i was serious about staying in berlin because of my children they said right away we hear you. But. Its easier to get to look after your kids if your quite high up in the hierarchy i think its even considered cool the question is how can everybody get a chance to do it. Other father was lower down in the hierarchy there was no way around his hostile boss we could all i really regret it i missed out on this experience and that cant be made good if theres a hole in my life and i truly wish that every father today could take the time to be with his children who were. Basically he was only around on the weekends like many other fathers these days however more fathers especially younger ones are taking the time which is especially ones with the means to do so like doctors scientists people in high tech. If their profession is in high demand finding another job after a time out is relatively easy. Even. Just hope it becomes entirely normal and nothing special for men as well as women to be with the children is just part of life in the way we work at least by the time my daughters are grown up by that sunday can sit. In germany fathers currently take an average of three months parental leave mothers thirteen months. Men are also a feature at this is Berlin Film Festival but for all the wrong reasons at dominance of the industry their abuse of power event will tackle Sexual Assault and discrimination with a Panel Discussion seminar and safe counseling korda it follows the maid to campaign on social media the festival opens those that night part of the mission or the Mission Rather is to screen films that address urgent social and political issues but what about films made by women is christina kubes. Can you name three filmmakers thank you and then name all three women filmmakers. And you couldnt think of even one little bit its not your fault blame it on the Film Industry thats dominated by men why cant women get their stories up on the fear screen. You may never have thought about the world behind the screen but you should because its a sector thats strictly divided by gender women in the green world working makeup or you volatile or they turn up in sexy outfits on the red carpet. And men theyre the ones with the power they have to say theres a screen writers producers sounds nearest cinematographer and directors. That means when we go to the movies were seeing stories conceived produced states and they wrecked it by men major film festivals like those in cannes or venice still pack their competitions almost exclusively with productions by men this was the change. From burning another thing fashionable is setting up what it sample one one but laugh at all its taking over the events and around a section. In your life that always laughter on what does the festival look like this year will it be hard to find films made by women level best. Including the competition secti
