8:22 pm
but economists one that using the volatile an unregulated crypto currency is a risk. john holeman has more from san salvador. so this is it, it's the 1st day of the 1st country in the world to use big coin as legal tender. it's going to be one of the currencies here along with the us dollar, which is the already existing currency of el salvador. now, here we can see chico, this is what they cooling the application. also the special cash points to be able to change big coins to us dollars here, chief means code and the president has said all of the lives of the world, a good to be on the salvador right now as we roll this out. the problem is, there's been a few glitches already in the, in the 1st roll out of these machines on the application. and that's not the only worry about bitcoin. one of the other worries is about how the bullets hold this currency is if people one of the poorest countries in latin america going to be using it, not just the daily transactions,
8:23 pm
but also possibly for their savings. that could be the problem if the price doesn't only go up, but also crashes back down. another worry economists say, is it, it could make this country a safe haven. the criminals who want to use bitcoin, which remember, is unregulated by the banks to have the it will go in gains and then learn to those into us dollars. but what the president says is that people should be positive about this, that it's going to be in, bring investments will make it easier for people to. so bring their remittances into the country. this will be a good thing for salvador. it's something that we're not going to know today. it's something that we're going to know. probably maybe even a year or so from now. but this is it. this is a 1st a big coin in el salvador. me and my shadow government has declared what it's calling a people defensive war against the military rulers will cease power in february, the national unity government is made up of politicians, the policy,

8:25 pm
be said is that it's not as though there are armed fighters streaming onto the streets across me. and this is something that we knew was going to be coming down the road when the national unity government said that they had an armed force that they wanted to use against the gentle forces. one thing that need to be said to the bulk of that will come from these at an armed ethnic groups along the borders and me and mar, they have been fighting the gentle forces over the last couple of months, but for decades before that as well. so they are going to be part of this and have been part of this movement against the junk military action against the junk. but it needs to be said that they are separate army. so for them coming together and to work in unison is going to be a very big feet. indeed, germany's international model show is underway. the event in unique is promising to be very different, not just because it's taking place during the car on a virus pandemic, but also because it plays a big role in germany's economy. as andrew simmons reports. not only is it the 1st
