confidence in israeli democracy. for more in this, let's talk to yes, yes, even he's the founder and ceo of i 8 ventures. our platform focused on innovation. yeah, so good to see you please. can you tell me why is the tech industry so worried about this new government? well, thanks for having me and thanks for taking upon this very important issue. we are a very small country. we are extremely dependent on the high tech industry and the high tech industry by its nature is a global industry. we are extremely excited about open ideas. we're extremely excited about selling things to the world. if the government is too focused on in shuler and small issues and this religious issue or that religious, or it's a full blown conflict with the sector that is actually paying for everything year in israel. so the tension is rising. okay,

but i'm not know how realistic do you think these concerns are about a corporate accidents coming really be thing that's absolutely it's, it's very easy. you know, it's not factories. it's people. i am sure many of the companies here in israel, both the israeli companies and the international, are firms that have, are in the center is in is, are a, have a folder which says living is really, i'm sure of it. and if the government of israel is not careful enough, and it's not because they don't like israel or it just that they're going to make a decision. why? why make life so complicated? we can move things on to places and people will move, you know, the jews are very good at moving. so i think the government really needs to pay attention to this. ok, so on the free, a huge number of issues going on right here. and in sales tax sector is of course a very important engine of growth. and how is prime minister benjamin netanyahu are

responding to these concerns? i am sure he is well aware of these issues and he was one of the people that instigated and created the high tech sector in israel. and i am actually sure that he will worry about this and make sure we may not hear it out loud because of politics. but i'm a 100 percent. sure that it's on top of his mind to maintain the balance between the local issues and the government is really right wing and the global interest, which are the key for the success of the high tech industry in his role. okay, so it does look like that us, our politics are on a cleaning course, i guess. even thank you very much. thank you very much. great to be. thank you. now to some of the other global better stories making is asked. yes, sandra som, bucklin fried has pleaded not guilty and among hot and court charges that he

cheated. investors looted customer deposits on his crept a currency trading platform. he's currently free on a rack or $250000000.00 bail. a tentative trial date is set for october. microsoft is reworking its being search engine using the artificial intelligence powers the shot up known as shot g p t. like to talk to and open a. i recently formed a partnership with the hope of challenging google's, a monopoly on source engine more markets in pakistan, our shop to shop by 8 30 pm as part of a new energy conservation long aimed at cutting costs. the news has angered traders who say the move could ruin their businesses. most of pakistan's electricity comes from imported fossil fuel l n g. now, electric car giant tesla has begun the year with a further dramatic flight in value. shares in the company dropped more than 12

percent in tuesday, trading the full coming at a time when c. e. o. l and mosque is preoccupied with his acquisition of twitter. it's the continuation of last year, the downward spiral, when the company's share price dropped more than 65 percent, she large lead to performance, not matching investors expectations. tesla actually sold 1300000 cars last year that was more than ever before. but instead of 50 percent, growth sales increased by only 40 percent compared to the previous year. and that has led investors to worry that a florida and could be on the cards in a further development waters is reporting. the tesla has a new 2nd in command with tom jew who's been leaving the company's china operations being promoted to lead north american and european sales. now earlier i spoke to our correspondent, you 10 lee in taipei. i began by asking her who tom ju, is and what his promotion could mean for tele tom to has been keeping

a really low profile since he joined tesla in 2014 and one chinese media i'll lead described him has an extremely hard working person, almost workaholic, and article even said that he flies to the u as to brief you almost every 2 weeks and reply to work messages at 3 and 4 a. m, and even slept in shanghai. st. planned during the covey locked down on bud under his leadership. china is now up his last 2nd largest market in the world. so i guess tesla will comes his dedication and efforts, and he is expected to probably boost the tesla revenue after a took the one to year. okay, why so he clearly an extremely hard worker and he's been in charge of china operations during a very difficult time. how do you think that experience could shape how he manages

the north american of european markets? as we can see that in china, like under sue's leadership light on the shanghai like every bow this strongly after cove is like 1000 an are some sources in the car industry also said that the young highs factory performed the best. and mon tesla us other plans, so i think he is expected to our, strengthen our, the western market after his promot promotion. and, but one thing that deserve some attention is that the working cultures cried their friend between the u. s. in china. so whether or not he can continue his management or leadership style in western areas could be something that people to like keep watching for now you turn, i'd love your personal take on this much has been made of this idea of, you know, being 2nd in command to mask, especially at

a time when mosque is very distracted by his foray into twitter. how significant do you think this move is? yeah, as you mentioned, like the timing of service promotion is widely disguised because i many people believe that r e long mosse focused very much on twitter. so tesla's investors are actually calling for a new c, e o. and just a couple of months before. and there is a rumor that on tom 2 is actually going to take that position, but at the time many dollars are, are, were skeptical about the news. but now i think the atmosphere is changing because many people believe that are the late is our promotion of our tom to indicate that a higher possibility of elements are being replaced. so i think this is erskin. there can move that people can are keep their attention on. all right,
