these easing measures that have been announced by the israeli government today. off the 15 opening the sea, the gods, the sea up to 15 knots, miles in front of the gods, the fisherman, and also the reopening of the kingdom of with selim crossing and allowing more reconstruction materials, even if it's only in favor of the private sector. but also it has allowed the export of some of the materials from the gaza strip to where the occupied was bank like the textile and some of the fruits and vegetables as well as the increasing the share of water that is provided for it. because the strip as because the strip suffer is of accurate shortage of water. even if the water goes to only special parts in the strip, as well as also rising or expanding the number of workers and businessmen that go from because the strip through the bay tenant crossing or the air is checkpoint,

to israel, to work in israel to $7000.00, which is adding a 5 more 1000 workers and businessmen to be able to take permit to work in israel. these measures come to ease a lot and lift the lots of suffering on the population, hearing gods, where hundreds of people year depend on fishing. for instance, as a lively source of livelihood, which means that they have been really, really affected the past 3 months, very much by this restriction el salvador is preparing to adopt big coin as its official currency. starting next week, congress has just approved a $150000000.00 fund to help convert the digital currency to us dollars. our several will be the 1st country in the world to use bitcoin as legal,

tender. the plan had phase criticism abroad and protest at home. for more on this, your plan is a member of the crypto economics consulting group. he joins us from berlin. thanks for that, your g, i'll salvador will be the 1st country as i mentioned in the world to adopt this is currency. why now and what's driving this decision? i am really, thanks for calling in. so the timing of this move from el salvador is not very surprising because have a dories dollar rise economy and dollar rise. the economy is right now to go through quite a sum, suffering because of all the money printing by the federal reserve in the united states. you have to imagine that the money printing of the federal reserve does inflate and the value is a dollar short and long term and only short term. there are some

benefits by printing money because you can just reviewed it truly population to corporations and on. but people in dollars, economies like el salvador, do not have any of these benefits. they don't get the stimulus checks their, their companies are not getting bailed out. so it's not surprising that target was trying to find a way out of the dollar. generally at this moment, how would this work in a practical sense? how will the average person use this is a currency in their everyday life? well, i don't know if you ever use bitcoin. it's quite easy to use. you know, your, you have an app on your phone that allows you to receive store and send bitcoin. so the most important thing down there is distribution of digital devices access to the internet and the bitcoin rock chain and the lighting network. all the

payments down there will take place on the lightning network, which is a layer on top of the coin, which is very highly scalable and offers cryptographic lea irreversible transactions. just like the going on the block chain you of i must have made, i have not used bit coin before. there are proteins, salvador because their accusations that it may promote corruption and it's simply too risky this true. i don't see any like that. i would like to talk to the people who are protesting there. what i have read is that they are varied about their retirement savings, which does not make a lot of sense. if you have an op, if you have a choice between us dollar and bitcoin, when i also heard is that they actually, people are actually using bitcoin. i'm not anti good coin, but they have a problem with the mandate. and also a lot of people in the community, of course,

think that there shouldn't be a law. there shouldn't be a mandate to force people to accept the coin. whereas we have to mention that the temporary and government is offering the technical means for everybody to accept that coin and swap them to us dollars on the fly in real time. if they do not want to have the point. all right, well we'll see how this unfolds in the coming days and weeks. appreciate your inside your class, a member of the crypto economic consulting group. thank you very much. the 70 i venice film festival months or attend to business for hollywood anyways. so was green stars and in the phil mike is american production has his have emerged from locked down, meaning blockbusters back him vanelle reports from fin the to stage you
