Orsini and we're broadcasting to you live from the World Economic Forum in Geneva. Thank you all so much for joining us today. Now, I want you to imagine a world where the entrepreneurs with solutions to the world's biggest challenges are given the resources, connections and expertise they need to make our planet better. A world where business models that support positive change for people and planet, not just making a profit, receive vital funding to take their innovations to the next level. A world where barriers to success are removed and where innovation is allowed to thrive and where society, economy and the environment exist in harmony. Now, this is the world that Uplink and its community of innovators, experts, partners and investors has been working tirelessly to create. Uplink was launched at Davos in 2020 by the World Economic Forum, Deloitte and Salesforce, and its purpose is to find and scale businesses that combine purpose and profit. Two years on from that launch and alongside our partners, 1T.org, Friends of Ocean Action, the Global Plastic Action Partnership and others, we believe we've unlocked an entrepreneur revolution, a revolution that is inspiring new ways of doing business and supporting the positive change the world needs to see now. Now, over the course of the next hour, we'll hear from two of the inspiring entrepreneurs we're supporting and learn about how they're helping the communities most impacted by climate change. We'll also talk to the World Economic Forum's founder and executive chairman, Professor Klaus Schwab, alongside the CEOs of Deloitte and Salesforce, Punit Rengen and Mark Benioff, about Uplink's progress so far and the urgent need to support more impact entrepreneurs around the world. And finally, we'll be joined by Katherine Russell, the new executive director of UNICEF, which is partnering with Uplink to launch our latest innovation challenge that aims to find solutions to one of the biggest issues affecting young people, mental health. But first, let's watch a video about Uplink's journey so far. Deloitte and Salesforce launched Uplink, a digital platform that is open to grassroots entrepreneurs anywhere in the world, uniting the world's brightest innovators whose solutions are aimed at making the world better and connecting them with the investors, partners, experts and governments they need to grow. We need a space like this that is able to connect the dots and suddenly solutions seem so much more closer to our fingertips. We believe that Uplink has the potential to try and get that community together to address some of these issues, not only for this generation, but for the next generation. In its first two years, Uplink has launched 30 innovation challenges. Over 3,000 solutions from 134 countries have been submitted to the platform. And we're now supporting a community of over 200 top innovators whose business models favor people and planet, not just making a profit. Innovations like Desellenator, which is using the power of sunlight to turn seawater into drinking water. Octopus, which is fighting plastic pollution by helping to pay waste collectors a living wage. StanLab, which created virtual laboratories to make science education more accessible. And Silvera, which is using satellites, data and machine learning to fight climate change. These are just some of the businesses that Uplink, with the support of over 50 globally recognized partner organizations, is helping to scale. And we've made a great start. Uplink's top innovators have raised more than $400 million in additional funding since joining the platform. Meanwhile, the impact of these entrepreneurs has been felt around the world. Uplink's top innovators have captured more than 39 million tons of greenhouse gases, and over 600,000 tons of waste have been removed from land and sea. Over 50,000 species have returned to their original habitat, or measures have been taken to protect them. More than 2.7 million people have gained access to safe drinking water. 2 million have been able to access sustainable food. And almost 200,000 people have been trained or educated. But we can't stop there. With the 2030 global goals fast approaching, we urgently need these innovators to succeed. So we're calling on the business and investment world to step up. And we're not the only ones. The reality is that business has to be involved. The world's greatest challenges will be solved by companies. Many members of the global investment community are already supporting this revolution. I've never seen such exciting innovation. They're taking the 4IR, the 4th revolution, and they're creating the 5IR, which is they're changing and improving the state of the world. It's incredible. I'm excited to see the shift from the investment community. There are more and more larger and larger investors that are seeing that, hey, we have to do this. We have to do this for our world. At Uplink, we believe that business as usual is not an option. That the change we need to see in the world will be propelled by innovation and that we can play a crucial role in helping the entrepreneurs who are doing well by doing good. Uplink is inspiring an innovation revolution. Will you join us? Now when Uplink was conceived, the main inspiration behind the platform was the need for innovators to play a central role in achieving the UN sustainable development goals. And as we've just seen in that video, we're making progress towards that goal, but this is really just the beginning and there's still so much more work to do. So to tell us more about the progress of Uplink so far, the challenges facing today's impact entrepreneurs and what the business and investment community can do to support these innovators, let's now speak with Professor Klaus Schwab, who is alongside Punit Renjian and Mark Benioff, the CEOs of Uplink's founding partners Deloitte and Salesforce.  Thank you. Thank you, Emanuella. It's great to be with you and to celebrate the second anniversary of this outstanding initiative. But before kicking off, I want to thank Mark and Punit for their leadership, for building Uplink with us as a digital ecosystem for young innovators or innovators in general. You have been incredible champions of these initiatives from the start and you believed in it and you helped our mission to come to life. And it's wonderful to see also Catherine Russell here, who is speaking later in this session. Congratulations on your appointment as the new Executive Director at UNICEF, a strong partner of the World Economic Forum. We hope that this session may be the first of many collaborations. Now returning to your question, at the forum, we have always supported grassroots communities around the world, particularly also social entrepreneurs, global shapers, young generation, but supporting startups, particularly with an SDG focus, became increasingly important in the past few years. So it's such an uneven playing field for startups based in the global south and outside the traditional entrepreneurial hubs. And these are the same parts of the world where progress is so essential to achieve the 2030 SDGs. So they are the parts of the world most affected by climate change. So we urgently needed impact entrepreneurs and startups can really succeed in those areas through their initiatives. Thank you very much, Emma and Uelah, back to you. Thank you, Professor Schwab. And now we have over 200 top innovators on the platform that it's grown so much. As you said, we have innovators from all over the world. Punit, you're a founding partner of Uplink and you've been central to the platform's development since we launched two years ago. Can you tell me a bit about a bit more about what were your motivations then? First, thank you for having me. Great to be with you, Klaus and Mark. I think you did an excellent job in your introduction and answered that question. And I'll amplify a couple of points. One, as Professor Schwab, Klaus has said for 50 years, the role of business is to be a force of good. At Deloitte, we take that to heart. It is part of our purpose to make an impact that matters for our clients, for our people, and for the communities that we live and work in. The second point that you made was that these problems and issues that we face as a global community can't be solved by individual entities or governments. We have to collectively address these issues. And I think that was the key motivation that Mark and I and Klaus and others had in putting forth Uplink is to bring the young innovators in contact with some of the leaders in the world to try and tackle collectively some of these issues around inequity, climate change, and some of the other issues that we'll be talking about. Thank you. Now, Mark, you've talked about your three primary levers to combat the climate crisis very often. So can you talk a bit more about this approach and the importance of entrepreneurs or, as we like to call them, ecopreneurs in achieving these goals? Manuel, I just want to thank you so much for everything that you are doing in Klaus Schwab. Thank you for this incredible vision that you gave us for Uplink and for ecopreneurship. You're right. There are three things that I am focused on here at Salesforce. As you know, Salesforce is the number one CRM company in the world with more than 75,000 employees worldwide. And one of our core values is sustainability. And we are net zero. We're a net zero company fully renewable today. And that's the number one thing each and every one of us must do right now. We all must commit to lowering our emissions and going net zero. And number two, of course, is that we must plant a trillion trees. I want to thank the World Economic Forum for leading with 1T.org, an idea that we came up with several years ago, the idea that we could sequester 200 gigatons of carbon by planting a trillion trees. We need more time. This is a very important initiative. And we just saw at COP26 in Glasgow tremendous progress on the international stage with all major stakeholders committing to reducing global deforestation. This is critical for us. And you're right. Number three is, of course, ecopreneurship. We must ignite an ecopreneur revolution, which is why I am so excited about Uplink because you can see now tens of thousands of entrepreneurs, just like myself, starting their companies who are doing amazing things all over the world. And it's not just creating tech companies, but creating companies that are a platform for change to improve the world and specifically in this area to get to net zero. So I want to thank all of you for what you're doing. And I couldn't be more delighted to be here on the two year anniversary of Uplink. Thank you so much. Yeah, it's really exciting. The platform's grown so much. And thank you all really for being a big part of it. So we know that the world has progressed enormously over the past two years. And I'd like to hear from each of you on the current needs to support innovation ecosystem. So let's stick with you, Mark. And I know that in this past autumn, you alongside Salesforce and Time, you've made significant commitments to fund ecopreneurs over the coming years. So what can we do to further encourage the investment community to get behind ecopreneurs? Well, thank you so much. I do. We've put about a third of a billion dollars in committed capital towards this idea, the idea that we are going to fund the ecopreneurship revolution. And look, what you will, I'll give you a great example. We know that about a third of the warming that is going on is coming from methane. But did you know that we have no way to really know where that methane is coming from? Of course, we have some ideas of methane sources or where different types of methane is created. But we don't have a pinpoint understanding of where that methane is. But with a ecopreneur right in San Francisco, Planet Labs, part of the uplink network, and their CEO, Will Marshall, and who recently went public. Well, what we've seen is technology, low hanging satellites that are equipped with the ability for the very first time to see methane on the planet. This is going to give us the ability to actually know where the methane is and take action. This is so critical. And it's a great example of a great ecopreneur taking action that can make a dramatic change for the world. Oh, that's really exciting. Just one of the examples then of one of our uplink ultrafurners also that it's really taking action on on these global issues. And now let's go to Poonit. I understand that Deloitte has been focusing work in the education space with the world class education program. Now you're also focusing on a world climate initiative. So can you talk a bit about this effort and the urgency that you felt to take action? Well, I mean, as I said, it will take all of us to address some of these issues. Let me start with world climate, excuse me, world class. We have committed at Deloitte, by the way, we give 3% of our distributable income. We're a partnership 350,000 professionals, 50 billion in revenue. We give 3% back into the communities that we live and work in. But we committed that we will take 100 million people out of poverty by leveraging Deloitte's most powerful, most potent asset, our people, 350,000 people. And by community, we're focused on that goal. In India, for instance, we're focused on taking 150 million women and girls out of poverty. 175 million women and girls in India are not educated. In the United States, we're focused on underserved communities. So that's our world class initiative.  And so we're making that commitment. But what we're also doing is empowering our 350,000 professionals to be leaders when it comes to climate. And we're working with our entire ecosystem of suppliers of clients to make the change and get on the journey towards a net zero situation. So I think that's what world climate is trying to do. And Deloitte is trying to be an example by leading on both of these initiatives. Thank you. So the transition to net zero is really critical. And Professor Schwab, we know that COP26, the forum launched various efforts in supporting the business transition to net zero. So can you tell us a bit more about these initiatives and how innovation is critical to their success? Thank you, Manuela. You know, the forum is deeply involved and played a key role in engaging the private sector for many years now. And particularly in the build up to the Paris Accords already during COP21. And of course, in the years which followed this historic agreement. Now, the initiative that has most influenced the startup sector, I believe, or will be more always influential for the startup sector, is the First Movers Coalition. We launched it at COP26, together with the U.S. Climate Envoy John Kerry. And it has the important goal of making emerging clean technologies accessible and scalable for eight key industry sectors. It brings together major companies, including both Salesforce and Deloitte, that can jumpstart the global demand and investments for emerging solutions and reduced costs. So it's a new innovative approach, and the coalition will in this way empower entrepreneurs to develop and scale their innovations between now and 2030, which in turn will help us reach our global emission targets. This is precisely the type of efforts that we need to help innovators flourish. We hope to begin leveraging uplink to build innovation ecosystems in support of the First Movers Coalition in the near future. Thank you, Emmanuel. Thank you, Professor Schwab. Now I'd like to close with your message to the next generation of impact innovators. Professor Schwab, would you like to start? See, next generation of innovators I think we should have in mind, particularly also young people. I'm amazed the forum has developed as a community of global shapers, over 15,000 people in over 450 locations around the world. And it's amazing, the innovative spirit I see among those young people. We should consider every young people, and I think the Executive Director of UNESCO will agree with me, we should consider every young person as a potential solution to the problems we have, and particularly in the eco area. Because those young people have recognized that we have a tremendous global challenge, but they also have the willingness and the energy and the innovativeness to do something about it. Punit, your message to the next generation of impact innovators? We can lick this problem if you work together. And I think you, with your great ideas and passion, as Klaus said, really are the key to addressing some of these issues that we all face. Thank you, Mark. We're in a climate emergency, we understand that. And this is something that we all have to do, we all have to become ecopreneurs. And when we look at all these exciting examples of what's happening today, we can use this amazing fourth industrial revolution technology that we've seen emerge, technology that you've seen about companies like Salesforce, the cloud, artificial intelligence, and other kind of incredible technologies like robotics or even advancements in biological sciences. And focus on this critical effort, because there's no question we have to focus today to get to net zero and to see this ecopreneur revolution occur. Well, this is really going to be one of the most exciting things that is going to happen over the next several decades. Thank you so much to all of you for being here and for your support throughout this uplink journey. Thank you. Thank you all. Now it's time to unveil the latest group of uplink top innovators. In November last year, uplink launched the Climate Justice Challenge, a call for solutions that help vulnerable communities around the world who are facing the worst effects of climate change. To find out more about the top solutions submitted to this challenge, let's watch this short video. What we're seeing globally is that climate change is fueling crisis. We're seeing underlying grievances being exacerbated. We're seeing increased competition over resources, whether that be food or water. And this is leading to increased tensions. It's leading to conflict and it's leading to displacement. We've got large expectations in terms of the climate justice challenge. We need innovative approaches and we need new ways of working. We need to look at resolving many of the injustices that exist in the world. Those injustices which have led to the displacement of tens of millions of people and which are now impacting on the well-being of hundreds of millions of people more. Congratulations to this inspiring list of innovators. Now let's learn more about the challenge of climate injustice and the sort of innovation we need to tackle it. Let's speak with two of the top innovators from this challenge, Judith Marera, founder and CEO of Landforce Energy, joining us from Zimbabwe and Jody Wu, CEO of Off-Grid Box Inc., who is dialing in from Rwanda. Welcome to the both of you and thank you so much for being here. Congratulations on becoming top uplink innovators. Now Judith, let's start with you. Why don't you tell us a bit about Landforce Energy? Thank you so much for having me and I would like to congratulate Stoplink on its second anniversary. Landforce Energy is a woman led for profit social enterprise in the renewable energy sector. We focus primarily on construction and installation of biomass digesters to rural communities. Those at the bottom of the financial pyramid. Our business model is on pay as you go as we try to make these digesters affordable and try to bring clean cooking to most of the rural people in Zimbabwe. We started Landforce Energy operations in 2018 and we've managed to provide solutions in the form of clean cooking solutions to many communities by constructing close to 123 bio digesters. And we seek to continue to provide solutions to these marginalized communities so that at least they have access to clean cooking solution and we also be trying to get the effects of climate change. This is a global issue at the moment whereby we are being called that we should meet to get climate change and we believe that there is no net zero without biogas. That is the reason why we've entered into biogas is it brings solutions to the marginalized communities back to you in Manila. Thanks Judith. That's really inspiring. You know you're providing clean energy to rural communities in Zimbabwe. Now can you tell me a bit more about what was the inspiration behind it? Why did you start your company? I grew up in the rural areas in Zimbabwe and when growing up we used to look for firewood early in the morning before we go to school after school we also had to look for firewood for cooking. So I vowed to myself that no child of mine should face the challenges that I faced growing up. There are so many challenges that women and children come across in search of firewood. Sometimes the harsh weather conditions, sometimes they are even the risk being beaten by snakes and there are also some men who are always on the run trying to rape women. Some women are made up while in search of firewood. So with the effects of climate change as well, this gave me the move and the power to bring up solutions in form of biogas so that it gives me access to clean and affordable energy. Thank you. Thank you Judith. Now Julie let's go to you tell us about your company Off-Grid Box. Sure. Thanks Manila. Good morning, good afternoon, good evening to people out in the world. Off-Grid Box is a socially driven company that provides clean water, clean energy and connectivity to people in remote areas from water pumping to water purification to seawater desalination. Our standard Off-Grid Box is an all-in-one sustainable solution as you saw in the video. It's a two meter by two meter by two meter container with solar power that provides energy services to 400 families while pumping and purifying up to 40,000 liters per day. We work and we have 80 boxes in 15 different countries. Our projects range from disaster relief to rural electrification to now serving coastal and island communities with fresh water. We are really excited to be launching or to be continually innovating and we'll be launching products that are the best blend of low-tech appropriate and robust ideas with the most advanced technology to clarify the world's most contaminated waters leveraging solar power and without any use of chemicals. We are developing disruptive patentable solutions to transform the industries of well pumping, irrigation, drinking water and pre-filtration for desalination. So the applications are limitless and we're really excited by what's to come. Wow that's really exciting. So many things coming up for you. Can you tell us a bit more about the impacts you've seen with the communities you've worked with, Jodi? Yes, so direct benefits are definitely in the areas of clean water and access to renewable energy where in many cases in these areas this would not exist before. We deploy our technologies with that with the idea that our off-grid box will become a community hub and actually all of our boxes we provide jobs and skills development to women that we hire as our daily operators. So we train them and technical skills to maintain them when we call them our box keepers. Through our solar water purification container we see a reduction of waterborne diseases, the ability to study or work after dark and increased rural incomes from economic activities. For instance in Tanzania we're pumping from boreholes and providing villages of water and islands of Lake Victoria. We purify the lake water and drinking water and produce ice limiting the need to transport bottled water and ice from the mainland over four hours away while also powering the lives of fishermen with a way to preserve their catch. In Rwanda we provide health centers with power where doctors can now provide 24-7 services and we provide small businesses and refugee camps with phone charging, lighting kits, refrigeration and even welding. So we're bringing these urban services to areas that were once without safe water and clean energy. Oh that's really important. Now Judith what about you? What are some of the benefits you've seen within the communities you worked with? With our intervention we have managed to create employment as well mostly to women as our move is to empower women in rural communities so that they become financially independent and stop playing on their no counterparts. We have also seen a rise in the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by three to six tons of carbon dioxide and we've also seen an increase in the agricultural yields from the women and the farmers from the bio-digestors and women have also testified that time for cooking has been lessened by at least one hour and their children are not able to focus on their studies and since they are now having access to clean cooking through biogas so they're having enough time to read they're having enough time to relate to to to read and concentrate on their studies and there's also the issue of many people coming in wanting to have the solutions brought to their own so that we the help in mitigating or reducing the effects of climate change in the country. Thank you Judy. Now last question to both of you what do you both need to take your innovation to the next level and what do you hope to achieve over the next few years? Jodi let's start with you. Sure so firstly we need to accelerate our research and development around innovations in our pipeline especially in water purification. Already we're developing a miniaturized version of our standard off-grid box that will allow us to more effectively reach the base of the pyramid through micro-entrepreneurs so we look forward to those smaller more affordable solutions. Secondly we need to expand our team and talent we're actually looking beyond East Africa and looking at expanding our technologies so that we can stay at the forefront of the most cutting-edge technology in our race to fight desertification so we need a team that can work across sectors and across environments whether it is a rural community with no water source and island with no clean water or a refugee camp where a newly displaced community needs a rapid solution to fill water and energy resources needs. And lastly we need to build partnerships with organizations to work within the World Economic Forum with uplink with companies with policymakers around the world so that we can move more quickly to address the water crises that are emerging around the world. Thank you Judith. The biogas technology has been in existence for so many years but due to the high costs of setting up a plant many people have not managed to invest in the technologies so basically we want to expand and grow in terms of the biodegesters want to invest in portable biodegesters and we think if we invest in portable biodegesters we'll be able to reach out to many people in the rural areas the farmers so that they have access to clean cooking and our model is pay as you call so we want to have a pay as you call software so that we'll be able to manage our portfolio and we're also looking forward to expand to our neighboring countries especially Mozambique as the challenges that we face with Mozambique are similar and they also have limited access to clean cooking solutions and we think by expanding to our neighboring Mozambique we'll be able to provide solutions to our neighboring country and we are also who also want to have partnership with other players in the industry so that we get to know more and try to introduce more technology in the industry and I think if we managed to get the finances to expand the finances to invest in the portable digesters we'll be able to go far and with Applink we are working that you will be able to work with us throughout our journey so that we bring solutions to the communities and our motto Atlanta's energy says we want to go bring for future generation all right well best of luck to the both of you sounds like you have amazing goals ahead and I hope that you'll get the most out of it and best of luck on your uplink journey and looking forward to working with the both of you thanks so much for being here today thank you now we've talked a lot today about what uplink its innovators and its partners have been able to achieve over the course of the last two years now it's time to look ahead and to announce our latest innovation challenge launched in partnership with sales force and unicef the youth mental health challenge addresses an urgent need to tackle mental health disorders in young people around the world today an estimated 13 percent of young people live with a diagnosed mental health disorder and every 11 minutes one young person between the age of 15 and 19 takes their own life depression anxiety and behavioral disorders are among the leading causes of illness and disability among adolescents failure to address mental illness in young people means it often extends into adulthood limiting the opportunity for these young people to lead fulfilling lives the COVID-19 pandemic meanwhile and its indirect impact of reducing access to vital health services has exacerbated this problem now here's a short video to tell us more about the youth mental health challenge a difficult topic but one that requires immediate action and here to tell us more we're now joined by unicef executive director kathryn russell thank you so much for joining us thanks man willa so nice to meet you nice to meet you too now let's talk about the mental health crisis among today's youth so one in seven young people live with a mental health disorder and half of all mental disorders develop before age 15 now these stats are really staggering why is it so urgent now to address this challenge well i think the important point is that the word staggering is exactly the right word and to clarify unicef reported that at least one in seven young people are experiencing mental health challenges globally and and the point here is that we don't really know for sure um the numbers can be much larger than that a lot of these a lot of these cases are undiagnosed we also as you mentioned earlier we estimate that 48 000 adolescents die from suicide every year and that's more than one person every 11 minutes so it's really shocking and of course as as mentioned was mentioned earlier in the video COVID-19 pandemic is having a significant but not fully understood yet impact on children and youth mental health and that's also something that we're very worried about i think that there's been a very great underinvestment in mental health globally by governments and that's somewhat depends on a country but it's certainly worse in low income countries and that's something that we're very worried about is those disparities so i would say that the bottom line here Manuel is that the the cost here is enormous for children and young people and we've got to do our best to try to address it definitely and yeah i think you make a valid point that probably in low-income countries is not as addressed as it is maybe in the western world so it's really important to talk about and to find solutions from across the globe um so can you tell us a bit more about the youth mental health challenge by uplink how does it work and what inspired unicef to get involved well i think that innovation is the key to developing quality programs at scale that can reach young people who are at at the greatest risk so the chance to leverage the world economic forms extraordinary open innovation platform is just so exciting to us and we're grateful to all the supporting partners came together to design this challenge and we're especially excited that young people themselves are at the center of this youth mental health challenge because they're at the front lines of this issue and the challenge is focused on innovating solutions for young people between the ages of 15 to 24 and this is a critical window because there's a recent gallop poll that we did with unicef that shows that in the first half of 2021 nearly one in five young people between the ages of 15 and 24 in 21 different countries so it was a pretty broad assessment uh reported that they often feel depressed but the interesting thing and this is a good news here that that same poll showed that 83 percent of 15 to 24 year old survey believe that they think that it's better to seek support and that's a change from what we've seen in the past that these young people you know they sort of acknowledge that they're not feeling great but they also say look i think i should do something about it so i think the key here is to try to optimize the opportunity here to say look what can we do to help these children and how can we innovate and use technology to try to do that and yet can you give some examples of digital technologies that can play a big role in tackling this crisis yeah well i think the first thing to remember is that we're talking about such a wide range of children you know if you look at the world's 15 to 24 year olds it's an extremely diverse group of people right some are students some are out of school some are already working some are already parents so our solutions have to be as diverse as as these children are and these young people are and importantly and this is something that unicef is always talking about is that they have to be co-designed with them you know can't try to impose them on young people and that's i think the the genius and beauty of this process so some of the broad areas include improving data you know data is always an issue it's an issue in every area i've ever worked in we have to fill in the knowledge gaps and mental health is rarely adequately covered in existing health surveys we found that over and over again so this could include applying cutting edge frontier tech to analyze existing big data sources or using digital platforms to collect more robust representational data on mental health across the globe we could explore new financing models to address underinvestment in young people's mental health and this could include a variety of innovative financing instruments that mobilize more private capital and blended capital again you know this is a persistent issue we could also develop digital solutions and this could include things like self-care apps which are very important and we have found those to be quite helpful platforms to train mental health professionals or support networks of teachers and community health workers or using AI and other technologies to process existing data sources including from social media which you know there's been so much coverage recently of that issue of social the role of social media and i think that's something that we really need to understand better one example of that is something called ebcd it's ask boost connect and discuss and that's a mobile based peer network in Uganda Tanzania Malawi and Zambia that connects adolescent and other young mothers living with hiv and helps them find support including self-care approaches and access to mental health services and that has been very successful and very helpful to those mothers there are also non-digital solutions that can help reach young people who don't have access to digital technology which unfortunately is a challenge in many parts of the world including those who are caught up in humanitarian emergencies and this can include designing for scale peer-to-peer support structures that work and acute and protracted emergencies and it's it's a shocking number of children who are in those situations and they can be very devastating for young people so we're definitely interested in some of those so in general you know we're especially interested in innovation that promotes equity and sustainability and those that help fight stigma associated with mental illness which although as i said children and young people are more willing to seek help you know there is still a stigma that we're dealing with and thank you so much for that do you have any closing thoughts on this important topic you know i would just say that there's no question that mental health of young people is a critical issue for every country just it is for every every person every family that that all of us knows and it's low middle high income families alike and that the pandemic has exacerbated those problems but perhaps as a result i think we're starting to see deeper engagement on this critical issue and you know mental mental health has really never been as much part of the dialogue as it is now and i think that's a huge it's a huge benefit for us because it makes it easier to talk about it makes it easier for young people to talk about and we really need to make the most of this moment so we need more public and private sector leaders to raise their voices and take action to promote positive well-being of young people to really think about the young people around them to understand what's going on with them and

This is the moment to say thank you to you again, to say thank you for all what you have done for international agriculture and for Erie specifically. I am standing in the front of a building which has your name for good reasons. It's containing 80,000 accessions of rice, 80,000 accessions of genetic material we are using today jointly with more than 1,000 scientists and we are using it in a more modern way than you were able to do because technology and science has advanced. The annex you see here to the annex is our new safety greenhouse which allows us to use transgenic plants for our new effort towards a 15 ton rice. Nile, we have to thank you for INGER, the most successful network in agriculture and in agricultural research which ever has taken off. We have to thank you for IR 36 developed under your leadership and the pleasure to serve Erie. Thank you both for everything what you have done for rice research, for the international community, for Erie.

Big Ben Rothersburgers come out and said, Dwayne Haskins has the prettiest stroke he has ever seen. He just anointed Dwayne Haskins. Ben Rothersburgers is gonna talk up everybody, he's a good teammate. Now, it hasn't always been that way. As we have found out, he has found the Lord. I'm a much different Ben. We won 11-0. I'd like to make another run to see. That's what he said, right? Yeah, sure, Ben. Yeah, it's your idea. Yeah, I'll take the big one. I'll play for less money. Don't worry about it. That's what Ben did. And he said that the new offense is gonna look very different than it looked last year.


We need to show that corruption is a punishable offence, that there are repercussions for it, not against journalists but against the people who are guilty of the crimes and in that way begin changing the culture too because I have to say that it's also a cultural problem. It's my pleasure to welcome today's panelists, the audience in the room and of course our viewers online to our press conference corruption and democracy. Today we'll be discussing really the key findings of Transparency International Corruption Perception Index and getting some feedback and context in specific countries. Today I'm joined by Delia Ferreira Rubio, Chair of Transparency International, Dr. Mugwitzi Masisi, President of the Republic of Botswana and Matthew Karawana Galizia, Director of Daphne Karawana Galizia Foundation. Welcome. First let's start with the report. It was just launched. Delia could you please share with us the key findings and really the surprises in that ranking. Okay, thank you very much. Thank you for joining us. The Corruption Perception Index is an instrument that we have been running for more than 20 years from Transparency International and we have launched it today. It's an index on perceptions of academic experts and business sector on the corruption in the public sector of countries. We are not measuring here money laundering, illicit financial flow, asset recovery or things like that. Just public sector corruption. We use 13 sources and we have measured 190 countries this year. On a scale that goes from 100, which means perceived as very clean to zero, perceived as very highly corrupt. And I will tell you the best performing countries and also those at the bottom. But what is important is that we are not just making numbers of these. We are correlating these results with certain aspects of governance of rule of law and other characteristics of our democracies. And there is a clear correlation repeated year after year between corrupt countries and weakened political institutions or a weak rule of law, lack of trust in institutions, the undermining of democracy. This correlation is clear. Corruption means this. We are not talking about casual things. We are talking about things that correlate. And this year we incorporated another factor which is the influence of big money in politics and the correlation between campaign financing, regulation and enforcement and corruption or transparency. And there is a clear correlation between countries where corruption is high and the regulation is not existent or is weak in terms of campaign finance or money in politics or you have good rules but very bad enforcement of that rules. This correlation is clear. The best performing countries and the average, the global average this year in the scales 100 to zero is 43 so there is no great improvement globally. And the best performing countries are Denmark and New Zealand, Finland, Singapore, Sweden, Switzerland and those at the bottom part of the index are Venezuela in Latin America, Yemen, Syria, South Sudan and Somalia. And of course there are in each region well performing countries and I really have to thank the presence of President Massisi because Botswana is the yellow country. If you see our map we have yellow for the countries that are clean or perceived as clean and transparent and the red means corruption. And in the sub-Saharan region the only yellow spot is Botswana so congratulations for all your efforts. You can find all the material in transparency.org and you can find detail analysis region by region. The countries that have performed better in each region and one other thing that we incorporated this year is the relation or the responsibility that countries that are performing well in terms of the index and their responsibility in global corruption because the money that is stolen in the countries perceived as corrupt ends in banks and fortunes and luxury things in the countries that are seen as transparent. So corruption is a global problem and has to be tackled by the global community as the manifesto 2020 says this year we need collective action and stakeholders approach if we are going to stop corruption. I will leave it there. President Massisi, Delia reflected on how Botswana is this shining yellow dot on the map. Could you share with us your views on Sub-Saharan Africa's performance and more specifically on the fact that Botswana ranked second in the region and 34 globally. What is Botswana doing right? Well thank you very much. I guess it's a matter of interpreting an objective result rather than an act of kindness on that part to suggest that we're doing well. So I will take that back with me home and really thank the institutions and all the citizens of Botswana for doing this but we remain dissatisfied. Our fight against corruption is a race to a finished line that never ends. So it does not mean there is no corruption in Botswana. There is corruption but you've got to be dynamic in responding by plugging the holes to that corruption. Botswana exists not in isolation. We are part of Southern Africa. We are part of Africa. We are part of the global community and the very fact that we could attempt as much as we have to extricate ourselves of negative influences speaks a lot to our governance where democratic country and democracy is incomplete without transparency without accountability and so we do get held accountable for what we do. But we also in government do play a part as we have done recently when in the perception of many corruption seem to be growing or those who are perceived to be corrupt seem to be getting our way scored free.  We passed legislation law which requires all political leaders right from my level those National Assembly and Council all senior public officers and those in the judiciary to declare publicly their assets and their liabilities. We put in place these are very recent developments. We put in place a directorate of integrity managed in the office of the president for the simple reason that it's supposed to bear its influence on other institutions of the state. And the judiciary is responding likewise by they have a dedicated judge or anti corruption and we hope they will increase the number of judges that are dedicated to that. We've also passed a number of other pieces of legislation such as protection of whistleblowers and amended the corruption piece of corruption and economic crimes act to tighten the loose ends because we keep learning from what we do but it's corruption is multifaceted. They are the motivators of corruption and they are the actors and then they are the beneficiaries. You always would have in a third world developing country like mine actors who often act in cahoots with players who apply their trade and residence in countries that are not in Africa and who reside or citizens of countries that are perceived to have very low level of corruption. And so I think it is time particularly for transparency international to take the bull by the horns and let's start following tracking reporting on those who benefit from corruption. You know international piracy which is amounts to is a system whereby you tolerate the extortion exhortation of funds resources from a state to another state and then you legitimize it because you discovered that they're not democratic and not respecting human rights and you seize the assets of such. This behavior needs to stop because it continues to marginalize developing countries and finally I would have expected these chairs to be packed with people who are all in the value chain of corruption and they're missing because anti-corruption is a means though not complete or enough sufficient to realization of their SDGs. You cannot, you never will realize your SDGs or your development challenges. However developed or sophisticated you are when corruption continues to persist at the levels that it does and a lot of it you know is to do with poverty and equity no clean water pollution environmental mismanagement etc. So because we will subscribe to these good values we do it because it's the right thing to do for development. Thank you. Thank you. Before we move on to the question I'd like to invite Matthew to talk about the fact that Malta has significantly declined in the CPI. It's dropped six points since 2015. Can you explain to us what has contributed to this decline and classification of Malta as a country to watch? Okay perhaps for for people who aren't aware of why I'm here exactly my mother was an investigative journalist investigating corruption in Malta who was murdered in 2017 and that murder did not happen in isolation it wasn't an isolated attack. It happened specifically because Malta's government chose to go in the exact opposite direction of for example Botswana's government and practically adopt corruption rather than anti-corruption as a as a policy and when when a government chooses to do this because it is a choice then that automatically puts journalists who investigate corruption in great danger and leads to murders which is why my mother was murdered. That started I suppose with with the election to government of our former prime minister. Malta already had weak institutions to begin with but the the government's program of privatization selling passports granting licenses to banks from Iran just fomented more corruption and as journalists like my mother began to publish evidence of this corruption instead of fighting fighting that corruption fighting those crimes the government doubled down and began to take measures to decapitate the authorities and institutions of the state that are supposed to be fighting that corruption so things just got worse and worse once the government did that in order to protect people in government in order to protect corrupt officials it opened up the door to more transnational organized crime and eventually things went into a spiral of decline which is why Malta's ranking has continued to fall and why it continues to be a country to watch. Now our way out of this is is very clear I mean journalists can continue publishing evidence of corruption but unless unless our authorities are reformed or start acting in the way they should then we're going to continue being in danger so yes our institutions need to be reformed we need Malta to implement the recommendations of the Council of Europe but we need our authorities to begin acting immediately we need to we need to show that corruption is a punishable offense that there are repercussions for it not against journalists but against the people who are guilty of the crimes and in that way begin changing the culture too because I have to say that that it's also a cultural problem. Thank you and we've seen some of that exemplified by Isabel Dos Santos being charged today. Yes I mean that's a really good example because of course she's an extremely corrupt figure took advantage of weak systems of governance within her country took advantage of nepotism but she was enabled by accountants and lawyers in Malta and elsewhere. Malta's government turned a blind eye to the money laundering that was that was allowing money laundering occurring in Malta that was allowing her to siphon all of this money that belonged to the public of Angola and in that way things just got worse and worse for the people of Angola but things also get worse in Malta because what does what do vested interests have to do in order to allow this money laundering to happen the transnational money laundering they have to weaken the institutions in my own country in Malta they have to weaken institutions in Europe. So as you said we really need to work together to make sure that we're fighting what is actually transnational organized crime and corruption together otherwise if there are weak countries like Malta that can continue to enable the corruption of Isabel dos Santos or the corruption of multiple officials then I mean things are just going to continue to get worse. So I want to add to what have just been said about Malta in this dos Santos scandal the role of gatekeepers has been of key importance gatekeepers should do their work gatekeepers and bankers accountants lawyers so assurance companies investment companies so we need this fight against corruption to be done as a stakeholder task including governments including citizens of course investigative journalists are key in the fight against corruption and we need the business sector we were talking yesterday at the patchy meeting we need the business sector to participate actively in the fight against corruption not only because of values integrity or ethics but because of clear effective influence of corruption in competitiveness in in the capacity to do business and to obtain profits so if they don't want to participate out of values they can participate out of very concrete things and we need the engagement of civil society and citizens if societies tolerate corruption they will keep sending the wrong message to the corrupt guys you can go on because we keep on voting you for instance or we keep on buying your products because it doesn't matter well yes corruption matters in terms of sdgs in terms of human rights in terms of democracy so we have to work together is the only way in fact the the position of my family is that while justice for my mother after her murder is important it's the number one priority for us we're never going to be able to bring her back so the best that we can do to make sure that she didn't die in vain is to make sure that a country like multa doesn't end up in the situation ever again because we weren't so corrupt to begin with things were allowed to get worse over time and how can we do this civil society needs to be engaged but really the only solid way to do it is to have effective supranational mechanisms that fight money laundering and cross-border crime and corruption because once i'm multi joined european union in 2004 once that happened we were flooded with new money without the ability to fight the the crime that comes with it so within zones of free trade where money flows freely like the european union or other regional free trade groups that are forming you need to have some level of compromise where states agree to give up some of their sovereignty and with with respect to the rule of law the fight against money laundering and corruption it's really the only way so i'm gonna open up the floor to see if there are any questions in the room the gentleman in back please state your name and your media outlet uh my name is mokit i come from bozana uh my question goes straight to uh transparency international uh i would like to know uh what a your organization review is doing to ensure that good efforts by countries such as bozana uh are sustained in terms of building capacities uh because it's important to have such good support systems or we will be fighting a losing battle thank you we're going to take a couple of questions are there any other questions the gentleman in the front um i am a alan gimel from from daily newspaper lacroix french daily paper and i have a question to mr carona galicia i'm sorry to be so bad in form about malta but um don't you consider that there was some effort done in malta since the murder of your mother so there was not so any reaction from the the government or any reform to to fight against corruption and also i have a question to miss uh ferrara rubio about uh france uh i saw that in your uh index friends um uh withdraw from from four points since the last index and it's difficult for me to understand why there was this um uh this uh downside of the of france so uh if you can give me an explanation please thank you very much and we're going to take one more question if there's any other questions on the floor yes hi i'm my name is tim koh and i work for a um publication called daily maverick in south africa um i just wanted to ask miss rubio to what extent extradition is um to what extent you think extradition changing extradition laws would be helpful here um we um um in south africa we're very frustrated with you know people see that the things are changing and then you know they um move to a country they move their money and they move to a country where there's no extradition agreement and uh then you're really stuck you know the um uh it's important for civil society to see that uh people who are corrupt do get eventually prosecuted and if they're not living in your country anymore it's uh it's difficult to achieve that and i know a couple people joined us late is there any other questions oh yeah lots of questions hi i'm kamaro from melicia nice to meet you again met you congratulation president marisi and uh delia but i'm coming from a country that's famously known as for the one mdb episode my question is there's a worry about the pervasiveness of corruption at the lower level from a traffic police take you know motorist giving but when it happens at the very top tier of nation it has to do with supranational linkages and network how would the ti report work against big companies big brand names like goldman sacks who has not really own up to what has happened to one mdb and in fact is in negotiation for reparation damages is this is the kind of reaction that we're gonna get from such a big big uh incident of corruption then what's the point of the ti uh cpi because it will keep on happening and it will have the adverse effect of the younger population of in my country for example seeing things like that and see the big fish will always get away because this is about big money so if there's a movement here we don't know what's going on behind the scene maybe you're talking to professor claus Schwab if there's so much emphasis on esg where is the emphasis of the stakeholder capitalism movement of metrics to also include the cpi into any big financial investment or development project around the world thank you so who would like to tackle this very good bundle of questions do you want to go Matthew okay i'll start with the question from from la croix so while the the new government has started off on a on a very bad footing um just for people in the room who who aren't aware our prime minister molters prime minister resigned um not so long ago and we have a new government from his same political party party um but which has started off on a on a very bad footing already because many of the people that um that backed up our former prime minister um over the past four years of uh of very aggressive corruption are still within the new government um and it seems that while he is willing to make some concessions i don't think that his government feels the kind of anger at corruption that it should really be feeling it doesn't seem to be honest uh it seems to be more of um of a compromise rather than anything else it doesn't seem to be um it doesn't seem to be rooted in any sense of indignation at the corruption of the former government it seems to be more of a of a case of uh of offering some sort of or some sort of compromise in exchange for um in exchange for things calming down in the long term but uh that's not really what we need now what we need is someone or a group of people in government who are willing to go after corruption in a in a more aggressive way and who feel an honest drive to fight it rather than people who think oh let's just um make this compromise now and in the long term everything will just go away because it isn't going to go away unless something really radical is done then things will be left to fester and of course society will never move forward either because the wound will just be left open Delia? Well I have lots of questions here starting with the journalist from Rotsuana we work through our chapters in more than 100 countries helping governments or proposing laws or proposing mechanisms to take how to account those in power and the business sector in the country according to the situation of the respective countries so we have created lots of tools and we keep on investigating and producing um tools that uh allows the chapter in each country to tackle the problem or to investigate more seriously for instance this year we have been working on money and politics and campaign finance and we have developed tools that allows citizens to see who is giving money to whom in what amounts and what is this money being used to and this kind of information access to information facilitates then the detection of potential conflicts of interest or the evaluation of public policies because if you can see who finance whom you can explain sometimes what decisions has been taken in terms of public policies so there are many tools in terms of France I would have to check all the sources included this is an index of indexes so we have to check what the sources corresponding to France which are on our platform so you can access yourself but I compromise to check with the research team what are the descend figures in the sources that explain this statistical change in some in some cases the mathematical or arithmetical thing of four points up or down are not statistically relevant according to the margin of error but we have to take care of that I come from I commit to to do that and send you the information you can do that and in terms of extradition law of course discussed to do with mutual legal assistance because this is a global problem as you mentioned so we cannot afford to have islands of protection or islands of impunity where people can go and bring the money and have a luxurious life without taking care of what they have done and without being sanctioned so but stopping this mechanism of extradition requires to be effective global action in terms of convention or rules that standards that can be applied worldwide globally in terms of petty petty corruption is the one to one the police the the people that has to pay for a place in the school or a bed in the hospital it's terrible it affects directly individual persons and affects human rights and you have to consider the two-thirds of the 180 countries two-thirds are under 50 so that means that billions of people are facing or are living in everyday corrupt environments affecting their quality of life and their possibilities of future the other type of corruption is grand corruption which needs a special responses because it is global because it involves the highest levels both at the government and and the companies and in in terms of doing something or reflecting the problem the problem of grand corruption Transparency International has many other indexes and reports for instance exporting corruption is a report that analyze what's the behavior of companies vis-a-vis bribing abroad although they are they have their presidential resident and tax resident in countries that are scoring well so we have the exporting corruption report we have done other reports taking into account how countries in the european union for instance are fulfilling the anti-money laundering directives of the european union in order to detect whether they are really fulfilling their commitments and the rules approved or not and we reflect that that's these are informations that are available for everyone investors companies doing business and you mentioned investors and of course they can use this information to in a certain way that determine where to go with the investment and multilaterals for instance can use the anti-corruption information to establish conditionalities when they give loans to countries in order to incentivize the right behavior so there are many things that we are doing and there are different tools that reflects or picture different aspects of corruption and the other one which is very important and and gives the information of how people perceive corruption and suffer corruption in their countries is the global barometer of corruption you can find it in our website and it is not reflecting the opinion of experts or business people it reflects the opinion of people in each of the countries where we are working thank you let me just add to the answer given earlier prone to the question by the Botswana journalist on what transparency national could do or is doing to reward the good efforts that we make in Botswana we had an informal discussion early on with Madam Rubio about the possibility of the brand transparency international the institution transparency international in partnership with the Botswana government hosting a Pan-African conference on anti-corruption to really deal with the scores across Africa including those of Botswana now it's in our national interest to help other countries come up to standard particularly in our region because we trade immensely with countries nearby us but we're also we've also subscribed to the Africa continental free trade agreement and it's it's going to be extremely hard for business people to trade with some countries I'm not mentioning any names because of the indexes that we the indices that we see so we would be advancing this ahead of public services here you'll advance it and we'll find a mutually convenient time so that we do this because our objective is to advance the annihilation of corruption and opportunities for corruption and you talked of extradition or somebody I think talked about changes in extradition law yes we we also experience it as a state we need to have extradition facilitated in manners similar to exporting coffee or beef or whatever there's got to be a demand for it and enablement of it across states particularly for corruption related issues and I'd like to state that Botswana is yellow it does not mean that there is no corruption in Botswana it does not mean that we are necessarily better than last year because these are relative measures so we'd like to hope that one day we'll have an opportunity to actually start getting criteria reference measures so that we measure our performance against our own standards and ourselves so we generally improve and look at the rate of improvement so but we are sure that we're really committed at least politically we're committed to doing all we can to make it extremely hard if not impossible for corruption take place in Botswana and the era of digitization a new challenge is emerge every day thanks I wanted to mention before we close out the forum's work on partnering against corruption initiative which is called patchy which is information that you can find also on our website I encourage you to go to transparency.org to look at the report and look deeper on the findings it sounds like there's we know there's an urgent call for action and collaboration corruption is definitely in one country impacts all countries everywhere and I thank my panelists for sharing their experience and their knowledge and expertise and I thank you all for joining us today thank you


Hey everyone, Shaybear 1000 here. Today we got the Scott Atwater 16 horsepower outboard motor. We're gonna check it out, see what's going on with it, see if we can make a run around of it. Stay tuned, let's dig in this together. Okay guys, so this is what we got. This is a 1955 Scott Atwater. I've never heard of them, don't know anything about it. There's a tag on it, it is a 1955. Now I've not run the numbers to confirm that yet, but there's the numbers right here. It's a 4200 RPM motor, so I gotta do some more research on it. But right now I wanna see what's going on with it because like I mentioned in a video where I first showed this, someone took the spark plugs out and there's only one plug wire. So I don't know if that goes to the bottom or top because it does make a difference. Now the other plug wire used to be up in there. So it could be coil issues, I don't know if we can find parts for it. I gotta take these three screws out and then I'll have to pull the flywheel off and check it out. So let me get you on the stand here. I'm fairly certain those screws aren't gonna be very tight because like I said, someone's had this apart before and I'm guessing. My guess is that they couldn't get spark. So let's pull this top off of here. There's three screws. It's hot. Yeah, that one's kinda loose. It also says, it says with bail-o-matic. I don't know what that means. I've never heard of that before. So, you know, if you guys know anything, please let me know in the comments. But what my plan is, if I can get this running good, I gave $185 for it. If I can get it running good, I'm gonna put it on the boat and see how well it does on the boat. And whichever motor I like better, that's easier to start and runs better. You know, I'll keep on it and I'll sell the other motor, whether it be this one or that one. I see some, let me set this down here. I see some loose screws up here on the top. I'll probably have to get me a better screwdriver. No, they're coming out. So, like I said, someone just threw, they couldn't get spark or something. Maybe that's having a hard time finding parts, but they just kinda stuck it back together. So the only thing that I see missing so far is spark plugs and a plug wire. So that could be, you know, a coil issue, you know, having a hard time finding parts for, you know, I don't know. Let me get a socket and ratchet for that and I'll be right back with you. Okay guys, so this seems to be a 5 8s. So, I didn't think that'd be very tight. That's why I didn't have my air tools out or anything because like I said, someone just kinda threw it back together, kinda gave up on it I guess, you can say. I was checking the keyway, make sure it didn't have a sheared pin in it.  Well, it might be. Let me see. There's a set of points there. Okay, I see an issue right there with a coil. So we probably won't get it running today and it's got a coil off of it. Let me get this off here and I'll show you what I'm talking about. My guess is that we're having coil issues. Maybe they couldn't find parts for it, I don't know. Well, you'd think that flywheel would come off of there. There we go. Like I say guys, I haven't had a part but somebody has. I'm gonna pull this key out of here, put it on the magnet so I don't lose it. I'm gonna put it back together and do some research on some parts for this thing. Cause I know I don't have parts for it. Now I'm gonna show you what we got here. See, there's a coil here. As you can see, that's toast. And there's supposed to be a coil right here and the wire would come out here and I'm not sure which one. I like that, it says set points to 20,000s. Um, the, actually the points don't look that bad on it. I don't know if I can put it in here and turn it and see. Make sure they're opening and closing. Yeah, see this one's not closing. This one here could be a weak spring. See if this one opens any. Okay, so there's what we got. My guess is I could probably, if I can find them, throw a set of coils on here. See, that's in bad shape. I probably throw a set of coils on here. I'll bet you this thing had run. But why would they pull a coil out and leave it out? I don't know. Did they start parting it out for a reason? But it's not locked up. I mean, that's not saying the lower unit's any good. But I think it's worth trying to save it. Now nothing's locked up on it. So, okay. Well, all right, I'm gonna do some research on this for a minute, see if I can get parts for it and make sure it is a 55. Then we're gonna go from there. Hang tight guys. Okay guys, the points are opening. You gotta have this key in here because this is your little cam that opens and closes the points but I'm gonna get this to turn for you here. See that one's opening and closing. And this one is opening and closing. So, I gotta research this thing some more. There's a loose screw there. I don't, I may have to pull this coil off here and see if there's a number on it and try to find me some coils. And if I can, I'll probably see if I can just find a set of points for this thing too. They're in really good shape but the condensers look a little cracked inside there. But anyway, I'm gonna try to do some research on this thing and see what I can find out about it as far as points and stuff like that. Start, that should be up against there and then when you throttle it up like that. So, looks to be in decent shape. But anyway, that's what I'm gonna have to do. There's a number here, FW 2255. I don't know if that's gonna help me out any but I mean, I've got a serial number here but there's some other numbers down here on the bottom. I have to look these up and find out. If I can still, you know, if I can get parts for this thing. I did look a little bit online. Some guys were saying that you can swap these from a Johnson, which is a Navin Road but only this one, the 16 horsepower. They said they didn't think you could do it with the 16 but you could do it on the other engines of the other sizes, so I don't know. So anyway, guys, sorry we didn't get this running today but I think it'll run, I really do. I think this was the issue they were having, no spark. Why they took this out, I don't know. Maybe they took it out to, you know, to try to find another coil or, and it got lost, who knows. But I'm gonna see if I can find these coils and get this thing running because this thing would be so freaking cool. Okay guys, change your plans. We're not gonna quit on this today because what I did was I checked this, the top plug, the top plug wire, the top coil, and it has spark. So, it ain't got me a couple plugs. These aren't the exact perfect ones for this motor but it may be enough to get us to fire that top, the top cylinder. Just wanna make sure it's not gonna hit the plug. Okay, so what I'm gonna do is I've got my, got a little funnel here. I can't find my little thing with the hose in it and I've got some two cycle gas here. So I'm just gonna try to pour a little bit down in here. We're gonna pull it and see if we can get this thing to fire. Okay. And hopefully, well, we'll see if we got a runner or not. So, let's go ahead and put this plug in. These things are huge at 18 millimeter threads. Okay. Now, let's just see, let's give it a tug and see if it'll fire for us. It's got some compression guys. It fired. It did fire. Right, so what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna try to put some fuel down this carburetor and we'll see what happens. Okay guys, so, if I'm a little bottle, I squirted some in the carburetor and in the carburetor hose and let's see what happens. Yeah, we got a runner. All right, let's try to fill this carburetor up a little bit through the hose. Let's more in carburetor itself or into the intake, I should say. Hopefully it don't run real long, but check this plug. It's like it might be getting, getting fuel, but that should make it fire. I could have flooded though. I did squirt a lot into the carburetor. Well, clear into the intake of the carburetor. Yeah. What that was, something fell off. I don't know if it was off here. This, that's pretty cool. All right, let me try to get some more gas in carburetor. Now remember, it's only on the top plug too. It's only hitting on the top, so. So it's not like it was going to sit and run perfect. Let me tell you something, it's got some compression now. I just couldn't let it rest. I couldn't leave you guys like that. This thing hasn't been running. He bought it at an estate sale. He was going to put it on one of his boats. He don't have time to mess with it. And he knew nothing about it. All he knew is they told him it's been sitting in that was in a barn, not a shed, not a garage. It's an actual barn find. Though I didn't find it, he did. They said they can't remember how long. So it could be 20, 30 years. They were thinking 15 to 20, but they wasn't positive. Now I just got to find a coil. Hopefully I can find a two-pack. Oh shoot, I got a late blinking. Probably my memory card. Yeah, I got three minutes. All right guys, a coil and the actual right plugs for it. Sounded pretty good for running just on one cylinder. Woo-hoo-hoo, shea bear. The myth of man legend gone for now. Bye-bye guys, have a good one. Thanks for watching.
