7:07 am
less apologetic to the democratic national committee for responding to the data breach but temporarily cutting off access to his voter files. >> look, a staff member or more of my team acted inappropriately and we'll deal with that. but to shut off access to my campaign's information, what word would you use, sabotage? >> reporter: clinton's campaign says they are waiting for the independent investigation to determine if campaign secrets were stolen. >> i don't think we should discount what happened here. they did go in, they took data, they tried to save it. >> we should move on because i don't think the american people are all that interested in this. i think they are more interested in -- >> reporter: but the dispute was a blip on the abc stage saturday night when clinton, sanders and martin o'malley mostly sparred on national security -- >> i worry too much that secretary clinton is too much into regime change and a little

7:10 am
here he has the strength to do that job. we asked the governor if he was aggravated that donald trump appears to have cornered the strength market. >> i don't think he's cornered that market. i think he's the loudest person in that market. see, i'm running for president, major. i'm not running to be the most popular guy in the senior class. >> reporter: against donald? >> well, he'll be as serious of a candidate as he wants to be. and what comes out of your mouth matters. >> reporter: out of trump's mouth saturday was a call for russia's vladimir putin. despite repression at home in ukraine and syria. >> i believe i'll get along fine with putin. >> reporter: trump even questioned whether putin's government was come poliplicit journalist deaths. they put russia tenth on the list of nations to kill those with impunity. 90% of murders there result in

7:19 am
pack stage video with the new winner and runner-up. >> it was very -- nontraditional crowning moment, isn't it? >> yeah. very -- very 2015. >> reporter: the miss universe organization issued a statement. unfortunately, a live telecast means that human error can come into play. our sincerest apologies to miss colombia, miss philippines, their families and fans. just wow. i was a preliminary judge for this year's pageant as well so i did get to see the inner workings of everything. i also got to see just how seriously these ladies take this contest. and i tell you what, last night it was craziness inside the arena as well. the crowd was booing, people wouldn't leave despite repeated apologies from the p.a. system. and asking everyone to leave. they just didn't want to see the end of this. anthony? >> michelle, thanks. at least miss colombia can say she was miss universe for two-and-a-half minutes. new technology helps an olympic athlete avoid tragedy.

can you potentially get banned from the site and do you watch out for that kind of stuff? >> on nextdoor you have to use your real name and verify your address so the incentive to behaving badly is very, very low. at the same time, nextdoor is about solving problems so not about social things like gossip or getting to know your neighbors. it's about tapping into the power of the neighborhood. >> as with so many of these start-ups there is often criticism and one of the biggest criticisms for you guys there could be some component of racial profiling. you've been very avctive. u.s. we consider profiling to be unacceptable. how do you police that behavior? >> it's not up to us to police it but up to the neighbors. we made it clear that racial profiling is completely unacceptable on nextdoor. it hardly even happens but one occurrence is too many. we will do everything we can to remind our members that the constructive dialogue on nextdoor should stay civil and neighborly. >> how do you make money? >> we don't. we have been focused on creating the best member experience. we move forward to creating a

business model we i think a tremendous opportunity to connect neighbors and local businesses. >> you talk about you don't want these gossip sites. how do you prevent that? you're relying essentially on the community to police this system themselves. >> yeah. they don't really have to police the system. because the whole system is built to solve problems. it's about finding a babysitter, about getting rid of a used couch. it's about coming together if there are floods or fires. so the content itself doesn't really lend itself to gossip or people being nasty. the content lends itself to people coming together and helping each other to creating stronger and more tight-knit communities. >> we have heard a lot of about packages being stolen from porches around this time of the season especially. how does nextdoor help that? >> if your package has been stolen you can ask your hbors if they have seen anything. if you know you're not going to be home when the package is being delivered you can ask a trusty neighbor to take possession of that package instead of you. >> it's a smart idea. it's nice. you should know your neighbors.
