us from washington, rob levinsohn , senior defense analyst for bloomberg government. what do you make of these comments? very serious comments from president trump, and the impact they might have a north korea. reporter: yes, they are very serious. we are matching the north korean one forc, sort of one. the worry is that we really don't understand how the north koreans interpret things like this. this can only probably escalate tensions between the countries. emily: with potential testing going on right now, what does that mean? reporter: unfortunately for the united states, there's not a lot of great options here. we really don't want them to continue testing these results and -- missiles and threatening the united states, but our options are basically negotiate, engage in some sort of military operation which could escalate into a full-scale war, or learn

to live with a north korean nuclear capability that can range to the u.s. none of those are palatable options. i'm sure the president and national security staff are going through that trying to figure out what to do. as secretary of state rex tillerson is traveling throughout southeast asia. he made comments about north korea. what more are we expecting from other parts of the administration? reporter: i think secretary tillerson is going to continue trying to build support among allies. we had a strong action from the u.n. it was a unanimous vote in the security council. as the president said from the beginning, the key here is china. i would be interested to watch what statements come out of or rather from beijing, with the latest revelation about the miniature nuclear weapon. emily: we will be watching news out of beijing. so levinson, thank you

they were saying, we will have "the avengers." we will have our own partnership with disney with "daredevil," and plannings," for a movie that they would hope would rival "the avengers." now it's up in the air. i would be curious to see what disney has to say about it. looked, a little defensive, saying we will still do business with our former andner, but doing business having their best movies and content on the platform are two different things. looking at headlines now. netflix says they continue to do business with disney on many fronts. bob iger on the call right now saying that is and pixar will not be on other web services, that disney is already working on new films and shows.

does a new streaming service from disney look like? cory: they have tried this kind of thing before. we've seen other companies try to do this while garden approach. they see the power netflix has. let's not forget their competitor in amazon, which is rapidly growing and spending billions a year. netflix is spending double the amazon is. they see the power in the marketplace. there is a fear that disney will lose what they've got. disney, more than any other content company going back in terms of film and broadcaster, has kept a walled garden and limited how they would distribute things, going all the way back to the days of the hs when they wouldn't put their stuff out as much. the only similar company was lucasfilm, the same with "star wars." they think they have the power

to do it all on their own, but we shall see. emily: we got a big headline would be about espn. there are concerns about subscriber losses. how is that going? cory: the real headline out of the earnings weren't so much about what's going on at espn. the change didn't happen a lot in the percentage of revenues. even in the percentage of the profits of the company, still pretty solid. is veryance on espn vague. very big.e -- furthermore, when you look at profitability, the profits from espn, it is very profitable product. i thought it was interesting , it made upmepark for the increase in profitability from theme parks. it was the anniversary of the opening of shanghai disney. the cost of the opening went away, which meant more profits.

priceline suddenly put on short-term rentals. google has also been eating their lunch in terms of finding out price comparisons on holidays. the hotel and airline industry get into wanting to the market and get people to go directly to their own websites. competition is becoming fierce. that is why we saw a quarter with a 25% uptick in the amount of spending of advertising. priceline has been an analyst's favorite. we will have to see is that changes. caroline hyde in london, our editor at-large cory johnson in new york do not miss. disney ceo bob iger joining us later this hour with david westin. is set to plan on unloading its subprime car leasing program. wholly-owneding, a subsidiary, shall be consolidated into a smaller unit .ithin uber

brought up these points that were not widely well-received and was fired for it. i think it was already a contentious matter over the weekend, and the decision to fire him meeting hotter. emily: what do we know about how google came to the conclusion he should be fired? the memo was out there internally for a few days. reporter: it took several days. and in the end, they decided the code of conduct, that his memo violated the code of conduct. over the weekend i gave a statement that was a little more equivocal they said that they want. it could be a place where people can bring up alternate viewpoints, but also want to make sure people are not being harassed, and keep in mind antidiscrimination laws. in the end, the ceo said it violated the antidiscrimination law. emily: the ceo of google says it advanced harmful gender stereotypes in the workplace. that said, this engineer says he

is pursuing legal action. does he have a case? reporter: it's debatable. legal experts say it's a hard .ase to make are far shot cases that might work, but he says he's pursuing are looking into all legal options. he also filed a case with the nlrb against google on monday. have spoken he may to hr last week about other issues. it seems like he's been making moves to try to lay groundwork for maybe some legal case. emily: one of the points we have not discussed is that the peer-reviewed process at google is huge. a huge part of their culture. you review your peers. how did google move on from this internally?what kind of discussions are had ? reporter: i think that.

youth systemreporter: came up when employees were saying, "this is why i can't continue to work at google if you still here." is a cooperative workplace, and you work with peers, which determines your promotions. it is hard to separate an engineer who had become an internal pariah from the system, and many people felt if he continued to work at google, it would be a major reason they would quit. emily: google is also facing a lawsuit that is systematically discriminates against women based on pay. what is the status of that? reporter: our understanding is it is still ongoing. there have been minor wins or losses on either side, but it is still the department of labor trying to get google to give them more information about how they determine pay internally. google says there's no gender pay gap and they've done to own internal analyses. they're still disagreement on

kids who watches disney movies on netflix. i want to know what this means. reporter: and i have a son that's 15 years old and spent all his time on the iphone. they will be spending more time on their iphones and ipads.i'm told we do have bob iger back. the disney chairman and ceo. sorry about that. we have been in television a wild. it's always the audio. the question i was asking -- >> i can hear you loud and clear. reporter: great. this is a major strategic move. it's going over the top, not only with espn, but disney and pixar. my question is why now? why not a year ago? >> we have seen a pretty dramatic shift in the we media is consumed. it's becoming more and more app based. you just mentioned your 15-year-old son. i see it with my kids and grandkids. a lot of the consumption is on

over-the-top direct to consumer services. we have a great brand to be able to reach consumers directly, because the brands are in demand and there's great passion for them. you need the technology to do that. task.o easy it's not simple. particularly when it comes to streaming live sports. consumption is high level and it is all at once. so we bought a third of bamtech a year ago. we have accelerated our purchase of controls so we can move into the space at a faster pace than we had initially anticipated because of the opportunity we see in the marketplace. is a combination of brands, technology, and consumer trends. reporter: talk about the consumer. the walt disney is on the consumer experience. who do you think will be using this most often? either the espn or the disney/pixar. >> you are looking on the sports

side as the sports fan, and the espn fan. sport is among the most popular programming out there. if you look at 100 top-rated tv shows in the u.s. last year, 94 were live sports. espn obviously provides a lot of live sports on its channels. this service will provide an additional 10,000 live sporting events in its first year of operation.we are looking to reach passionate sports fans that want to be able to watch sports on over-the-top,, on services,onsumer direct to user interface. are passionate. there's a great affinity to the disney and pixar product. it is families, parents, and kids. we reach basically everyone and it is worldwide not just in the u.s.,

there's a great thirst for disney branded product, and we will serve them well. reporter: as you say, particularly live sports, has been a mainstay of television going all the way back to broadcast television. that, the cable to strip have been reliant on espn -- the cable distributors have been reliant on espn. >> we will continue to distribute the espn linear channels through cable. they have been good partners of hours over the years.together, we have managed to create a highly profitable business. the distributors and programmers alike are experiencing disruption that the home market is seeing, in multiple businesses are seeing from advances in technology. we feel we have to react accordingly.my guess is distributors will look at this probably more as a threat than anything else. it's not intended to be that.

we are reacting to marketplace conditions and taking advantage of the quality of our brand, the passion and the quality we create, and the ability to reach consumers directly. if you look at disney's businesses, except for the theme park, virtually all the businesses touch consumers through third-party. everything from big-box retailers to the owners of motion picture theaters. i could go on and on. this is an opportunity to reach the consumer directly. that's an important step for the company in terms of growth. reporter: help me make sure i correctly. stick with espn. if i sign up for this app the moment is available, available early 2018? >> yes. it's the espn app. reporter: but i won't get all the espn programming unless i'm authenticated through my cable provider? >> correct.

there is one app that exists today. you can watch espn linear channels on that app. this gives the ability to access for another 10,000 live events through a subscription, which should be very user-friendly. eventually, you could predict that you will be able to watch linear channels in a similar fashion meaning subscribe, directly. we don't have plans to do that right now. we will watch the marketplace to see how it evolves. reporter: is this the beginning of the end for the bundle? bit think that's a little too strong. and i think it's the beginning of the end it all. , with aen the erosion new marketplace with new options. but it is still highly profitable. it is still a good consumer proposition.

there has been encouragement on the bundled whether it is new over the top providers. being a coupleu of them. there's more competition to reach consumers with multichannel services. i don't think this is necessarily the beginning of the end, but it represents a continued shift in consumer behavior and the opportunity that technology provides. reporter: as you look at this landscape that you know so well, what is this most like? is it most like netflix? what is it most similar to? >> i think you have to look at disney and espn differently. the goal on espn is to create the ultimate digital marketplace sports, sports -- live a sports fans can go to to access a large array, probably the largest array of live sports available. bazaar oru call it a

marketplace, that's what that is. scripted programming and netflix, i guess you can come here espn for that. maybe the netflix of sports would be one way to look at it. disney is different. it is a brand play. this is a product that has an incredibly robust sandy's. it's not only a great -- robust fan base. it's not only a great he's thre -- history, but a great future. it's almost a 100-year-old brand. it is very much welcomed into the home and on mobile devices for kids and families around the world it is a very specific. brand play. i think a great way for disney to reach consumers directly, which we haven't been able to do in the past because the technology didn't exist. reporter: when a ceo like you makes a major strategic decision

like this, they inevitably have to ask, do i build it or buy it? did you consider buying something like netflix? why did you decide to build it rather than buy it? >> anyway, this is a bias well. -- a buy as well. businesses and going into the space faster than if we had built it. comment on other acquisition of -- opportunities. we have the financial wherewithal to do a number of things, but this seemed to be the best at for not only walt disney, but for in terms of creating a growth strategy, growing the company long-term, taking a long-term view, and also addressing the near-term issues we are seeing, which is all about the disruption created by digital technology. reporter: in the sports app, you have major sports.

you've got nhl, mlb, college sports. i don't see nfl at this point. i don't see nba.are there plans to add those ? under what terms could you get them in? >> we intend to license sports ,pecifically for this app beyond the sports already licensed by bamtech or espn. this creates an opportunity for us to monetize them in more effective ways through subscription, revenue as well as through advertising revenue, and there is a direct to consumer relationship to generate revenue. i think you can expect this product will be in the marketplace to license more aggressively from multiple sports organizations, possibly the nfl and nba. reporter: i noticed in your release you said that you plan

to make significant investments in an annual slate of music -- movies, tv shows, and content for the app. are we talking about investments that we've seen from the likes of hbo, amazon, or netflix? >> we've got to be careful, because netflix come i can't comment on what amazon has been investing, but it is known that netflix has invested aliens and original content very effectively. when you mentioned hbo, this is a little bit more akin to that. we will basically produce and develop original movies and television series specifically for this service. it will be incremental investment in the investments we've been making in television and motion pictures in the past. reporter: you also have your earnings out. you missed a bit on television, on cable and broadcast.

>> i have lost you again. reporter: emily, are you there? this is a challenge. emily: i'm here. i'm curious about your comments on netflix, given your former life at abc. ask bob: let me just one more question and then get back to you. let me ask the big question. you started -- about 21 when you went to abc? you have spent your entire career. >> 43 years ago. now,ter: looking at it with the move you made over the top, would you recommend to a 21-year-old that he go into this business the way you came into abc and spend a career here? >> absolutely. we are one of the more attractive companies for people

to work for, particularly college graduates. the high esteem people have for the walt disney company and sub brands is unbelievably attractive as a courier for young people. there's a huge amount of potential. when you think about the company , we are about great storytelling. you can look at in terms of how it is distributed. you have to look at basically the quality of the brands and the passionate people have for it. passion that people have for it. it's been great for me. i would recommend -- my sons won't be able to work here until after i leave, so i certainly would love for that to happen. i don't think i would see it. reporter: thank you so much. give me -- disney chairman and
