Quarter of 2023. Despite that, tesla has reclaimed its position as the worlds biggest seller of battery electric cars after its shipments surpassed those of chinas byd. 0ur correspondent, erin delmore, is in new york. Why are teslas sales falling so sharply . Well, deliveries are reported by tesla, which is how well, deliveries are reported by tesla, which is how we well, deliveries are reported by tesla, which is how we approximate sales. We will hear more on the 23rd of april. Lets talk about some of the challenges we know tesla has faced in the first quarter. First is the red sea conflict, which caused shipping to be diverted, causing delay in Vehicle Parts arriving at factories, resulting in temporary factory shutdowns, particularly one outside of berlin which was hit hard earlier this year. Weve also seen an arson attack at a factory in berlin, causing a temporary pause in production. Back in the us, weaker us demand, mixed reviews for the cyber truck, the latest tesla model, and dont forget that higher Borrowing Costs in the us have led to slowing demand. While tears can usually use incentives like discounts to attract shoppers, those. There has been increased competition from chinese manufacturers, and in response we saw tesla cut production and shorten Work Schedules in shanghai. Are we now in an era where byd and Tesla Tussling for the top spot . This is something to watch. We know that shares in byd tumbled. Top spot goes back to tesla now. It would suggest that we will see the back and forth continue. Lets talk about the things in byd� s favour. Cheap labour, strong government support, and a massive domestic market. Byd is another benefit because they make their own batteries and have more flexibility in being able to offer price cuts. We have seen demand is living in the chinese market, which would mean that that tool could become less effective, and we expect demand to soft and as the year goes on. 5 demand to soft and as the year goes on. � ,. ~ demand to soft and as the year goes on. ~ ,. , ~ ,. , demand to soft and as the year goes on. ,. In other news. Shares of chinese smartphone maker, xiaomi, surged 15 when the Hong Kong Market opened today. Its the first trading day following the companys launch of its new su7 electric car. Xiaomi is pricing it at 4,000 less than tesla s model 3, and claims the new car will have a greater driving range. Google has agreed to delete billions of records and submit shares of Donald Trumps social Media Company trump media plunged more than 20 on monday. The drop wiped out the gains from its debut last week. It comes after the company disclosed it recorded 58million in losses last year and admitted it would struggle to meet its financial liabilities going forward. Forbes has just revealed its latest world billionaires list, a ranking of the worlds richest people. At the top, for the second year running, the lvmh boss, bernard arnault, who oversees the luxury french brand louis vuitton. His net worths understood to have grown 10 , to 233 billion dollars. The forbes list includes a record breaking 2,781 billionaires more than ever before. Chase Peterson Withorn oversaw the compliation of the list. Hes forbes senior editor, wealth. And he told me about whats driving some peoples wealth up so fast. Its a banner year for billionaires. As you said, there are more than ever, and they are richer than ever, worth 14. 2 trillion, which is 2 trillion more than last year. Some of the major trends are that Stock Markets around the world are up, and these people, by and large, are some of the biggest beneficiaries of the stock market because they own large shares in publicly traded companies around the world. As markets are up, so are the billionaires. You can see that especially in technology. Tech stocks are going through the roof, there is a tonne of enthusiasm for al, so weve seen a lot of new billionaires come into the ranks this year who have ai companies or who are using ai in their business, but it is also really boosting the values of a lot of traditional tech billionaires, people like mark zuckerberg, as well. A banner year for billionaires, especially for anybody who has anything to do with al. So thats the way to do it. Centi billionaires, that is 11 zeros, a dozen digits, if you can even imagine that what are they doing that is so right and where am i going wrong . Right at the top, you have mr louis vuitton. Is that correct . Thats right, and he is 38 billion ahead of elon musk who is at second place worth 195. Elon musk is just barely ahead ofjeff bezos of amazon, at 191; billion. These are people who have created, they are basically all self made. Most of them are involved in tech companies, and they have held on to a good portion of their ownership. 0k. Chase, i need to get this final question very quickly. In compiling the list, was there full transparency, or is this an estimate as it is . Its definitely an estimate. We have definitely seen a lot of Balance Sheets and tax returns from a lot of people. We dig deep to investigate what is out there publicly, talking to people, including the billionaires, and there are definitely people who are on the list who would rather not be and they hang up the second that we give them a call. But we do everybody a call. Its the latest frontier in tourism the arctic. This winter, Finnish Lapland has seen bumper Visitor Numbers. Its bucking the trend across most of the country that has yet to see tourism fully rebound after the pandemic. Adrienne murray has been to the edge of the Arctic Circle to find out more about the growing demand for polar travel. With long, dark nights and sub zero temperatures, this seems an unlikely holiday destination. Yet, here at the Arctic Circle, its been a bumper tourist season. As a gateway to Finnish Lapland, last year, rovaniemi welcomed half a Million People to this very spot. We wanted to do an Arctic Circle or like a northern tour, for a very long time. Theres an appeal of coming up here when its snowing and its cold. We did our research on social media. They share a lot of| stories about here. We saw a lot of posts from Santa Claus Village and its, like, very romantic and very pretty. The covid pandemic hit tourism hard, but since then not only have Visitor Numbers bounced back, theyve been surging. And the negative temperatures certainly arent Holding People back. Tourism is yet to rebound elsewhere in finland, but in lapland, its a different story hitting new highs last year. 0nce popular with chinese tourists, now most visitors come from europe, particularly the uk, france and germany. And most of them head here to rovaniemi, where a doubling of International Flight routes has helped tourism take off, sending Visitor Arrivals and overnight stays up 30 . This season is a record breaker, for sure. Were going to have this full speed until the beginning of april, so the whole Winter Season will be a record breaking level. And social media has had huge pulling power. It has changed the structure for tourism, in my mind, because people seek for the most photogenic places and the instagrammable moments, and that draws people to travel. Jenny is a tenth Generation Reindeer Herder who began offering tours two years ago. Here in lapland, tourists come here to see the Northern Lights. And reindeers are the other thing also, and the culture. I think that everybody have been on the beaches and things like that. So now they wanted to see the arctic life. The Northern Lights are one of the biggest wintertime drawers. This hotel employs a staff member to watch out for the aurora. The Northern Lights are one of the biggest wintertime drawers. This hotel employs a staff member to watch out for the aurora. This kind of Arctic Destination is trending at the moment. People usually seek something really unique i and different and in the local area there is no more than 100 Companies OfferingNorthern Lights tours. But you will also need some luck to see them. That is your look at the business news. Around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. The israeli Prime Minister, benjamin netanyahu, has admitted that Israeli Forces have unintentionally hit innocent people in the gaza strip, in an apparent reference to the killing of seven aid workers for world central kitchen. The us Secretary Of StateAntony Blinken has called for a swift and independent investigation. Those are some of the latest lines on our main story. Meanwhile, Border Communities in israel remain on high alert, worried about the threat of further violence. 0ur international editor, jeremy bowen, has been escorted by the israeli army to an evacuated town on the Israel Lebanon Border to see damage from hezbollah shelling. Springs coming and the gardens are getting overgrown in these Border Communities, and thats because no ones been here for six months. 60,000 80,000 evacuated on the israeli side, and at least that over in lebanon, and the border� s only a few yards in that direction. In a weird way, at this moment, it feels peaceful, but, you know, thats an illusion because at the moment some very big decisions, i think, are being taken. From the iranian point of view, how do they respond to that assassination in damascus . How many risks are they prepared to take that they might end up in a full scale war with israel . What would that do to the stability and security of the islamic regime, which is what, on that side, they care about most . Here in israel, i think that the military, the government, i think they sense some weakness in the other side. I think they see an opportunity to push, because they know that iran and hezbollah in lebanon do not want to get involved in a full scale war. Theyve been sending out those signals very clearly. And i think what israel wants to try to do is to change the game here, change the security equation, push when they have a chance, and maybe there are people there who are thinking, well, this is the chance, to push and see if we can change things from the israeli perspective. What does that add up to . Insecurity, potential danger a crossroads, perhaps, in this war. Plenty more on that coming up in the next ten or 15 minutes. Now to a story that will interest milions of people with Type 1 Diabetes around the world. Patients in england are to be offered a pump thats been called an artificial pancreas. It can calculate and deliver the correct amount of insulin to patients, using a Glucose Sensor under the skin. Health experts have called it a game changer that reduces the need for injections. Heres our Health Correspondent dominic hughes. Im just going to pull this down, just do your height. Two years ago, we reported on how six year old charlotte was taking part in a trial of a device that could radically change the way she manages her Type 1 Diabetes. This around yourarm. Rather than regular fingerprick tests to check her Blood Glucose and then injecting insulin, charlotte was using whats known as an artificial pancreas. The device continually monitors a persons Blood Glucose, then automatically adjusts the amount of insulin given to them through a pump. Now, thousands more people will be assessed to see if they, too, can use the pumps, something that experts say will be a game changer. For many people with Type 1 Diabetes, managing their condition means a lot of thinking of before they do a lot of things, such as eating, such as going for a run. But with this technology, a lot of those day to day thinking and working out things will be reduced. More than 300,000 people are living with Type 1 Diabetes in the uk. The devices will be rolled out to children and young people under 18 with the condition, as well as pregnant women and those adults with Type 1 Diabetes who have an elevated blood sugar level. Whats my glucose . Computer 0k, viewing. Youre 5. 9 and steady. I the devices are already available in scotland to some patients, but they dont suit everyone. And nhs bosses have warned of challenges in getting enough supply of the devices, plus the need to train more staff in how to use them. That means it could take five years before everyone eligible has the opportunity to have one. Dominic hughes, bbc news. In the British Museum, tablets from ethiopian, looted after a battle in 1868, are kept as part of a wider collection of about 80 items like the ones who are currently seeing. They have long been calls for the collection to return to ethiopia. In 2019, the countrys Culture Minister asked for exactly that on a visit to the museum. Now the uks Information Watchdog is investigating over claims the museum has failed to disclose key details of internal discussions about efforts in response to a Freedom Of Information Request. Ive been speaking to Lewis Mcnaught from returning heritage, a not for Profit Organisation that collates information on cultural restitution. It submitted the Freedom Of Information Request. You told me more about these artefacts. This is not a typical collection of looted artefacts. I know everybody has very strong views for or against the return of artefacts, but these objects can and should be returned. They have never been exhibited. Eight of the tablets came in 1868 and have been locked away in a vault in the British Museum since then. Not only that, the museum has promised never to exhibit them in the future. Neither can any study be made of these tabots, nor can any photograph them or copy them. It makes you wonder why they are in a museum in the first place. They can be returned under the existing legislation. Unlike other high profile trophy contested items such as the binning bronzes on the parthenon sculptures the benin bronzes. These tablets can be removed today or tomorrow. Museum act of 1963 specifically removed today or tomorrow. Museum act of 1963 specifically bars removed today or tomorrow. Museum act of 1963 specifically bars the act of 1963 specifically bars the disposal of objects, except for very limited circumstances. Are you saying this falls into that category .
