sexism. >> the trial capture the fascination of the country. highlighting this issue of gender discrimination in silicon valley. the jury found in favor of kleiner perkins. what did you see in that trial? >> what was so interesting about the trial, so many women, not just in technology but across industries, saw their own experiences. you saw women posting. >> did you see yourself? >> sure i wrote a whole book about expenses. we have systematic stereotypes of women. and systematic biases of women that, for men, like -- like ability and success is correlated. for women, success and likability are negatively correlated. she is less liked. >> a lot of things that ellen pao let -- powell alleged were

small things like taking notes. she wasn't invited to an all-male dinner. a lot of these things are incremental small things that don't seem like a big deal, but taken together maybe they are. how do you prevent those kinds -- >> one interesting thing that came out of the dinner we had is how some women said for instance to go on business trips, because of the american law which is where the men are worried about sexual harassment laws. suddenly, it is all the men going on the business trips and the women are left behind. one radical suggestion, because i don't actually think we're going to get to a situation where boardrooms are equal for women for another 100 years. >> wow. >> my chair fell over. >> the way to get there is to do with scandinavia has done.

i know a lot of women don't agree with this, but i think he have to say, in a new company that sets up from today must have at least 50% women on the board. >> the irony of this trial is kleiner perkins actually had top women partners and most of the top venture capital firms in silicon valley don't. at all. i wonder, do silicon valley have a worse gender problem than other parts of the world than the rest of the world? >> i think silicon valley has one particular problem, which is the pipeline of engineers per women is twiddling. in 1985, women were 35% of can pewter -- computer science majors. where 18%. if you look at their leadership ranks, there is not an industry out there, no matter how many of its workers are women, that has enough women in leadership than -- and the nonprofit, 75% are women. do you know how many women run the victim profits gekko 21% --

run the big nonprofits? 21%. >> during the trial, a lot of things bubbled up. twitter was slapped with a gender discrimination lawsuit. facebook is being sued by a former female employee. she says she was harassed at work. her boss said something like, what are you just go home and take care of your kid? this is your issue. i'm sure this can -- concerns you. >> we put a statement on that case. we think it shows she was treated fairly. let's leave that aside. the treatment of women in the workforce is an issue. we all have it. the assumption that men can have families and work and women can't those are bad and those are hard and we need to change those. >> for more of this exclusive interview with sheryl sandberg and richard branson, tune in tonight for our special

betty: could the deadly flu be airborne? the current wave is spreading from minnesota to wisconsin and beyond. farmer said that would be catastrophic. here to talk about the implications is sheryl davidson. thank you for joining us. this is not the first outbreak of bird flu in the u.s., and it won't be the last. what is the distinction of the current wave? >> we have had outbreaks of avian influenza.

thank you for having me on the program. we have had outbreaks in the united states and the most notable one we had was in pennsylvania in 1983-1984 where we lost 17 million birds took cost of $60 million. we've had smaller outbreaks since then. this particular outbreak has affected many states and many types of birds across the united states. it is in -- an unprecedented outbreak. matt: 8 million birds have died in this way. to me, that is an incredible number. how many birds are there? >> it is an incredible number. but if we look at the poultry industry in general, we raise 9 billion birds. chickens, the meat type chickens we raise. we raise over 200,000 turkeys and we also raise a large amount of the layer birds. in pennsylvania alone, we have 24 million layers.

this is a very large industry in the united states. scarlet: the risk to humans according to the cdc is low but infection is possible. which raises more questions than it answers. previous trains and other countries in the past have been spread humans and people have died. what confidence do you have human infection and transmission will remain low or nonexistent? >> this particular virus has been out in other parts of the world. and it hasn't caused human infection. so we always watch that and the cdc and unca watch those viruses because these viruses can mutate. we always want to watch that carefully. right now, the risk is very, very low and we are watching that. historically, this fire throughout the world hasn't caused any human infection. matt: what is the prescription for farmers? is there a set of regulations farmers can follow to stop the spread or reduce the risk of

spread of infection? >> the important thing is bio security. i'm sure you have heard that to. what is bio security? it is reducing the risk of that coming on your farm. when we go on farms, for example, my vehicle is clean inside, outside, clean clothes, take a shower. when i get to the facility we've clip -- we put on coveralls. beyond that, we have to look at what all is coming onto the farm. various truck scum on to the farms. various people come onto the farm. they all have to come in a bio secure manner. if there are nonessential people, they should not be on the farm. every time something comes into that farm, that is a potential introduction. but in the big scheme, what we need to do is euthanize the birds affected. then we have to clean and disinfect that farm. then that farm has to sit with no birds in it for a very

longtime period so we can get this outbreak under control. scarlet: do we know for a fact how the strain of bird flu is being spread right now? >> if we start back how it came into the country, we believe wild birds carried it. many times, the ducks mds will carry it. they won't have any disease. they will be perfectly fine. and it is their droppings that will have the virus. then they can spread. bio security. it is important we make sure it doesn't get spread from farm to farm, people dragging it into poultry houses. that is key, looking at the bio security and making sure we really put that barrier so people don't get onto the farm and we stop the spread. scarlett you mention the last big epidemic in pennsylvania. it is not reached the atlantic fly with this time around. does a windy spring change that? >> the question about when has

come up before. the wind will not carry this fire is miles. -- this virus mild. it could actually carry a potentially on a farm that was close by. we had an experience in one of the outbreaks not 1983-19 84, where it was a very windy spring and we had an infected farm. the next farm downwind got it. we knew by mapping the prevailing winds that another farm would get it. the producer actually put plastic all along the side of his house to stop the spread. and it did. i have to put a caveat in it. at that point in time we were euthanizing the birds outside the house. so the wind was caring the feathers and and or and everything downwind. and we don't do that anymore. it is important when we euthanize the birds they stay within the house for us to depopulate and euthanize and that particular house, not outside.

in the 1970's by one dr. marty cooper and his team at motorola. this is the latest installment in our eureka series where we take some of the world's most important innovators by to the moment of their innovation moment. >> people are naturally, inherently mobile. and yet for 100 years, we have been told the only way to communicate was over a pair of wires that kind of leashed you to your desk, tied you to your home when you wanted the freedom to be everywhere. and that is the nature of what communications ought to be. portable means freedom. in the late 1960's, i was at motorola. at that time, if you wanted a phone, the only way to get it

was from at&t -- and most places. they would not even sell it to you. you had to rent it from them. they invented a concept called cellular tel aviv. they announced they were going to set people free. they're going to cut the wire. the second thing they said is service is going to be car telephones. >> as a vehicle drives from one cell to another, advanced electronic equipment automatically transfers the call by telephone line to another cell without the color knowing it. >> that is when i had the idea of, why don't we build a cellular system that is the way it ought to be? personal, portable. we shut down engineering in the company and put all our efforts into building a handheld portable cell phone.

on april 3, 1973, we actually demonstrated the system in new york. we had a press conference scheduled for the afternoon, but we have been approached by journalist and i decided, well why don't we give him a real demonstration? a real demonstration would be walking down the street. and that is exactly what we did. i wanted to really put a dazzling demonstration on for the journalist. i took a chance and called joel ingle. after running the at&t program. i said, hi, it is marty cooper. hi, he says. i am calling you from a cell phone. at a real cell phone. personal, handheld portable cell phone. there was silence at the other end of the line.

to this day, he doesn't remember this call and i'm not sure i believe him. this is an exact model of the very first cell phone. there were only two phones and existence at that time. the biggest issue in that first call, we didn't know it was going to be historic in any way at all. we were only worried about one thing -- is the phone going to work when we turn it on? fortunately, it did. we never could have predicted what has happened to technology over the years since we created the first cell phone. a modern smartphone, it is a technological marvel. it really is incredible, all the stuff that is squeezed into the

cell phone. but i'm not very happy about it. part of it is because we think we can make a smartphone that does all things for all people and yet we know it doesn't do any of those things perfectly. so we still have a ways to go. scarlet: do you remember your first cell phone? matt: i remember my first cell phone. senior year at antioch. i begged my parents for it. and yet there weren't enough towers. it didn't work. scarlet: you didn't get reception, basically. matt: i had to go on the fire escape and go up to the roof. scarlet: and in the meantime the landline was right there. everyone had the no key a -- nokia banana phone and i have the ericsson and no one wanted to put it next to their phone but -- had because it would cause cancer. will be back in a moment. absence makes the heart of fonder. that is why many americans can't

friday. i will take it off with the bulletin here. frustrations boiled over today in latvia at the eu's meeting on greece. eu finance ministers hurled abuse. they have been waiting for greece to come up with a plan for economic reforms. that has to happen before greece can get the last of the bailout money and avert a default. their caucus did not seem to shaken up about the experience. >> we have not had full conversions yet otherwise we would have had white smoke coming out of the chimney, but we are confident we can have that. it is our view that we have no right not to achieve this agreement. matt: insiders and outsiders have accused him of dragging his feet for some time now and are speculation that greece will not present a plan until june. comcast is giving up and going home or at comcast formerly

dropped its $40 billion bid for time warner cable. in the last week, opposition from government regulators really began to take shape. executives from both companies concluded the merger would apply. they plan to call an administrative hearing which would have dragged the process out for months and cost a lot of money. shares of amazon are up as much as 15%. amazon still losing money but not as much as it was a year ago. the company rick ported first quarter sales rose 15%. for the first time amazon probed out sales from its cloud computing division. amazon says clad revenue was up 49%. -- cloud revenue was up 49%.

than 5% last year. diet coke is in the same situation. the fda says there's no proof of the health risks from the sweetener. i've been hearing a lot of stories lately that these diet sodas can blow to your belly more than tricking a sugared soda -- bloat your belly more than drinking a sugared soda. scarlet: there's a big trend towards sugar drinks. matt: there is also water that is good to drink. scarlet: matt is looking to be healthy. matt: trying to be healthy, lose weight, probably h2o. scarlet: we need to talk more about the bad and getting worse relationship between greece and its european neighbors tried -- tried. hans nichols is in latvia. hans let's start with you.

matt was telling us about european finance ministers hurling abuse at varoufakis, calling him an amateur, a gambler, a time waster. what did varoufakis not do at this summit? hanis: he did not provide specifics as he was supposed to. he did not appear to grasp the gravity of the situation. the difference between where the euro great -- eurogroup once greece to go and where they are. talking to finance ministers after the meeting, we caught up with the economy minister of spain. he said the next move is up to greece. >> there is a certain sense of frustration with respect to [indiscernible]

we need to take advantage of the limited time we have available over the next days and that everybody wants to reach an agreement, but now the ball is on the camp of [indiscernible] hans: it is still an open question on whether or not greece understands what they need to do, at least in the minds of eurozone officials. this was 18 against one. it was described as a hammering against yanis varoufakis. mr. varoufakis came out and said he thought there had been progress. he was about the only person making those claims. uniformly the finance ministers were disappointed, frustrated and a little bit worried. matt: i've heard this kind of thing before. a buddy of mine owns greek debt. he agrees with yanis varoufakis' on theory but said he was

shocked when he went to athens and saw that severus is not doing the actual work a bit like a student who is brilliant but it does not hand in a paper. is that a fair characterization? hans: the greeks know they have until july 26 to make a deal. they are not feeling the pressure as much. there's another payment to the imf coming up on the 12th of may. they could fall in arrears to the ims and it would not be as bad for them as their marketable debt. matt: it does not seem like the smartest thing to do. hans: i do not think pleasing to finance ministers and making

them happy is at the top list of things to do for varofuakis. scarlet: varoufakis may be under pressure from his european colleagues, but at home, how is it laying -- playing? >> support has diminished a bit. the only thing greater than support for [indiscernible] is there was public support in greece for staying in the euro. what you're hearing creek officials say privately is they don't have any sort of agreement and if it is a default, that would be viewed as a political event whether it happens in brussels or frankfurt that event would be matched by another political event increase. that could mean a referendum on whether or not they want to stay in the euro. they would take that to their people. in some ways it is not

necessarily difference of strategy, but difference in goals. the greeks are talking about a theoretical approach to how you deal with austerity and what they want to hear in latvia, here in riga they want a technical approach to what greece will do to close its primary surplus what they will do to grow their economy. and some ways they are talking past each other. that was clear today. the question was, can you get it back on track or have you lost too much time and too much goodwill? matt: in the next three months how often will you utter the phrase time is running out for greece very ominously? hans: i will only sing it like you sing the iliad, and i will only say it in action greek -- ancient greek. matt: one is the real deadline? hans: the deadline is monday run

out of money, and no one knows when they run out of money. that is in part why finance ministers want to look closely at greece cost books -- gre ece's books. to me, mid-march, if they miss a payment to the imf that could constrict their ability to use the emergency liquidity assistance window at the ecb. big debate going on. if there is any sort of default, it will be very difficult for the european central bank their windows of credit open to greece. that could be the difference between how greece sees this and the germans see this. the deadline is mid-may. when they try to gather all that cash from the state and

municipalities, which they initially said it would raise $2 billion, it looks like the number is 1.5 billion euros. they have pooled 150 million euros to get from their cities and municipalities that will not buy them that much time. scarlet: time is running out, money is running out. germany and greece don't see eye to eye. not much has changed in the last couple of years. matt: google's new strategy is an old one, spend money to make money. how that worked very well for them in the first order. scarlet: we play the yearbook game. take a look at this media mogul. tweet us your guesses @ scarlet fu @ matt miller. matt: @ matt miller 1973.

always looks for how much is spent. google spent a lot of money on these random projects that may or may not play out. are the rules different when it comes to google? do people look at it and give it a pass and for other companies they wouldn't? jeff: yes, they have so much money they can afford to spend it on odd things. they can also innovate and experiments. think back to the days of monopoly. we depend upon googles innovation. we will talk about the fight in europe. google is an innovation engine for america, and that matters. matt: are any of the innovations outside of search making money? the don't make money on their hardware phones. on the platform they also have youtube, which seems to be doing well as far as users and added revenue. do they make money in these other areas?

forward, proceeding with its unsolicited hostile offer for perrigo $31.2 billion worth in cash and stock. perrigo is saying he will be rejecting that offer. perrigo executives view that mylan stock price as inflated by a bid from teva. teva made a bid for mylan. mylan rejected that did and made a bid for perrigo. the stock still rose as they got these various offers. perrigo's executives think that the mylan offer has been inflated and is not going to stay at those levels because of teva's offer for that company. we have this three-way situation among these drug makers, and

there's a lot of resistance on the part of them to accept these various bids. we will keep on top of that situation and let you know if and when perrigo goes public with that rejection. in the meantime i want to mention the european close and what we are seeing their and european stock markets. we did have a bit of a rally in european stocks today. we have german economic data. jumping to a 10 month high in april. you would not think as they greeted negotiations dragged on the greek stocks would be higher but they are heading for the biggest weekly advance in more than two months. it seems as though greece because of a holiday there might get more time in terms of its repayment. that might be buying a little bit of an advance stock wise. electrolux with her numbers today -- their numbers today higher. pearson going lower, even after

techs and they pay a portion of their profits to the firm for the privilege of availing themselves of the resources here. that is what saurav was doing here -- sarao was doing here before prosecutors took interest in him. i sat down with one of the cofounders of the firm. he remembers the vendor very well. he was one of the star traders when he was here. he says he's a guy who really stood out. have a listen. >> the potential to be one of the world's great traders. he certainly has been of his generation.

ryan: a couple quick thoughts from rosie. he does not buy the idea that he could have been doing the trading that the prosecutors allege from that house. he says he would have had to have been at an outfit. he does not believe that he could have caused the flash crash. he says one trader cannot do that. he could've contributed, but there would have been a lot of contributing factors. i asked him, was he legit? would he have been cheating? he said the period the feds are interested in, the prosecutors was after. it was interesting he said this was a guy who did not need to cheat. he was that gifted in his trading that if he was cheating, he did not need to do it. back to you. matt: what is the story right now on sarao? is he still in jail?

has he been able to post $7.5 million? what is unclear to me is how much money he made. ryan: everyone is asking that question. he was granted conditional bail but he has failed to post the $7.5 million. you have to cough up the money. the court has to confirm receipt of the funds, and that is not happened yet. the prosecutors allege that he made $40 million over that five-year period from 2009 to 2014. that doesn't mean he has the $40 million. his lawyer says he has 5 million pounds. that is why the pearl was set at that point -- parole was said at that point. we know he set up an offshore company. does it have to do with that? 4.7 million pounds of it was a

loan. is he unable to access that? we don't know. he was arrested three days ago and he still has not been released. scarlet: his former employer told you that nav could not have caused the flash crash and he was a talented trader. has anyone come to his defense in terms of helping him with money? it's one thing to defend his honor to the press, another thing to put up money. ryan: no, no one has put up the money, otherwise he would be free. he has become a bit of a celebrity. i covered the two rogue traders in europe in the past. they became celebrities straight to a certain extent, nav has

become a celebrity as well. there is # free nav. no one is running to cough up money for him. matt: have you talked to anybody as far as a trader, even a journalist, any family or friends who think this guy caused the flash crash? ryan: i have not. matt: bloomberg's ryan chilcote joining us from the floor of the trading room. scarlet: i'm sure the u.s. government would be happy to provide papers. matt: i have not heard anyone say that he has a credible accusation. scarlet: coming up for millions of americans, their dreams have no longer gone up in smoke.
