coming back in say may have been mis— sold devices and they are not able to use the devices in a wayave looked into the phone and what they have heard about it, say it has been really impressive, but most consumers will not be able to get their hands on it. you are absolutely right. 0ne their hands on it. you are absolutely right. one of the things we see our kantar as people love huawei phones. the satisfaction is as good as the competition, sometimes even better. so with that there is really big demand for huawei phones. they sold more than one infour huawei phones. they sold more than one in four devices bought across europe in the last 12 months. demand historically has been there. consumers will be very worried about not being able to access apps, and thatis not being able to access apps, and that is likely to curtail sales. this phone will have four cameras in it, similar to the new iphone as well. what think this means for huawei going forward? this us ban and the impact it will have for sales outside mainland china? huawei has always focused very much on the camera. it is pre

. -- device portal.e hear from facebook's vice president for augmented and virtual reality. and later, corporate ventures data analytics company slumps. we will get details with the ceo. this is bloomberg. ♪ taylor: facebook confirmed this week it will resume collecting and transcribing some user audio clips from its in-home video device portal. i spoke to the vice president for augmented and virtual reality, andrew bosworth at the , launch of a new generation of portable devices. take a listen. andrew: we are so excited about our new products. we have a 10 inch and an eight inch screen. they are oriented towards connecting people with the ones they love the most through video calling. these were designed to look like picture frames, so they can fit into anyone's home as naturally as if they were picture frames. they will even show pictures were not in use. taylor: and another cool thing you guys are launching is the tv portal as well. tell me about that. andrew: yeah. portal tv takes advantage of the bi

the control they have with those devices.they have the experience of connecting with someone they care about they will experience something special. comes at a time when antitrust scrutiny is at the highest. when you think of facebook a lot rightple -- is now the time to the expanding your technicals and showing people how big you are, going into tech, homes, and tv? >> the smart display device category is so new. early and everyone wants to experiment and see what kind of value we can create there. it is not very big but it is growing. if people decide they are excited about video calling for the home and we think they will be, i think this is a great fit. taylor: joining me to discuss this is bloomberg technology reporter kurt wagner who covers facebook. i want to talk about the privacy issues and the opt out button. does that go far enough to quell our concerns about privacy? kurt: i think the big issue we have seen with these transcription happenings that have been a big issue with tech is that people did not know about i

is this a tactic to introduce more of these devices into people's homes?hey have made alexa more emotive and responsive in general and engage in a more human way. voice is a big thing, not many people are using it for beyond the most functional requests and asks, only 2% of people are using alexa to order at home. so there is still a lot of adoptions ago. but at the same time they are betting if they make it more related to bill an accessible, and ultimately able to solve problems that are, that will bea solve problems that are, that will be a big part of their strategy. amazon already dominate the market, but they want to increase that further. i suppose that is because once these devices are in place they gather such valuable data on what people buy, what they eat, what music they listen to. and that is so useful for tech companies. it is useful for tech companies. it is useful because ultimately it helps identify customer problems and we know if you can solve customer problems, and create products that are truly relevant and create is in their lives, th

this is from its in-home video device portals.e will hear from the president for augmented and virtual reality, andrew bugs worth. plus, presidential revocation. a president trump revoked california's waiver on a -- emissions. california vows to fight it with one official calling it the fight of a lifetime. corporate ventures data analytics company enters the vc world. we will get the details with their ceo. first, our top story. facebook has confirmed it will resume collecting and transcribing some user audio clips from its in-home video device portal. i spoke to facebook's vice president for virtual and augmented reality at the launch of the new generation of portable devices. he oversees hardware and devices and facebook. take a listen. >> we are so excited about our new products. we have a 10 inch and eight inch hd screen and they are for most, who love them the and they are designed to look like picture frames. they can fit into anyone's home as easily and naturally as if it was a picture frame. it will even show pictures whe

all of these devices are not focused on that.y are focused on connecting you to content, which is great and useful. but when it comes to connecting with the people you care about, that is what was missing. so with portal, you can use facebook, you can use messenger, you can use whatsapp to connect with the people you care most about in a rich, immersive way with cameras that follow you around the room and are hands-free, and you and your kids can connect with your grandparents or your friends without having to worry about holding a phone and your arm getting tired and trying to fit everyone into the shot. taylor: you mentioned cameras. i have to bring up, on the portal, there was that button where you could turn the camera off. privacy has been a huge concern. was that the focal point of making sure it was very easy for me to turn the camera on and off? andrew: yeah. when you are introducing new devices for people's homes -- people have never experienced anything like portal. it has a camera and a microphone. we wanted to make su

where we want to profit is if customers use the device downstream.ant to make a lot of money when we sell you the kindle device, but if someone chooses to read books and likes books, we will make a little bit of profit from each book they choose to read. we think that is super aligned with customers. that means if they put it in a drawer and don't ever use the device, why should amazon get any profits from that? we were not successful in delivering what we wanted. it also has a side benefit that we do not invite customers to upgrade every year. we don't have to. we continue to update the software on our devices to make them better over time to incentivize customers to use them, and we think that is a very good business model that aligns us with customers. taylor: that was amazon's senior vice president of devices and services. to discuss more about , my next guestnt joins me. what was your key take away from the new products you saw today? >> i saw amazon doubling down on two things. one is cementing the relationship we have with alexa in the home by

homes and the control they have over those devices. i think, when they have the experience of connecting with somebody they care about who does not live nearby, they will experience something special. taylor: it also comes at a time when antitrust scrutiny is at the highest, looking at big tech. when you think of facebook, a lot of people think of the app and software. is now the right time to expand your tentacles and showing regulators how big you are, going into tech, homes, and tv? andrew: the smart display category is so new. smart displays have only been in the market for two or three years now. i think it is really early. everyone wants to experiment and see what kind of value can create. it is not very big yet, but it is growing year-over-year. if people decide they are excited about video calling, and we think they will be, portal will be a great fit for them. taylor: joining me to discuss this further is "bloomberg technology" reporter kurt wagner, who covers facebook. first, i wanted to talk about the privacy issues that are

also medical device, it detects how large a tumor is and treats forms of cancer, that device, a medical linear seller reader sold by companies by cure inc., this will help the individual companies but not make a big overall difference in the overall impact of the retaliation tariffs. donald trump saying he read visited adjuster by the chinese. what is more significant are comments by essentially the number two person in the chinese government, listen to the chinese premier after meeting with u.s. business delegation in china. >> china is the largest developing country in the world and the u.s. is the largest developed country. we share wide common interest and i believe we have the wisdom to find a solution acceptable to both. the wisdom to find a solution, positive talk, what i have not heard yet, the concessions of the u.s. trade representative said china deleted from the trade deal will be put back. lower level meetings will happened this month in the next two weeks, setting up meetings in early october between the two head of the delegation. liz: thank you very much. day by day, edw

you get the one-month trial on other devices.ng to be interesting to see whether apple can land it in such a competitive space. taylor: ben, i want to come into my terminal here for our viewers. what we are looking at basically is the cash hoard of apple which is now topping $200 billion. where is the next acquisition? ben: you know what, i constantly think they are going to make a strategic acquisition here or there but it doesn't happen. they seem to be content in reinvesting in the business. making tactical acquisitions of small companies people don't expect. right now, i don't have an answer to that question. one thing is for sure, if they wanted to buy something, they could go get it. taylor: what is the biggest concern when it comes to tariffs? ben: sorry, could you repeat the question? taylor: what is the biggest concern when it comes to tariffs and the fight between the u.s. and china as regards to trade? ben: absolutely, sorry. on the tariff side, the geopolitical situation is a major factor for all consumer electronics

control they have in those devices.fn they have experience connecting someone they care about who doesn't live nearby, they will experience something special for them. >> it comes at a time when antitrust scrutiny is highest. when you think of facebook, people think about the app and software. it's now the time to expand your technicals -- technicals? >> the smartest category is so new. this is only been on the market for two or three years now. it's really early and everyone wants to experiment and see what kind of value we can create. it's not very big yet but it is growing year-over-year. if people decide they are excited about video calling for the home and we think they will be, i think portal will be a good fit for them. it's something that is not fitting for the marketplace than we will try different things. joining me now to discuss this further is our bloomberg technology reporter. i want to talk about the privacy issues that are going on and the opt out button. enough to quell our concerns about privacy? >> th

she had planted recording devices in his office. >> she named my device liar jerk and called her device whore. >> she's listening to everything he's doing. >> we can't be friends. we cannot talk. it's too painful to see you living your life happy. >> then she sent me a text that said, you ruined my life. then another text that said, i hope you never find happiness. and then a third text that said, bye, mark. >> the main line is considered the wealthy suburb philadelphia. >> the term came from the railroad line that connects philadelphia to its western iinhat, "i have culture or i have success." ♪ >> i remember it being one of those, like, really nice first-time-warm-outside days. a lot of kids are out ridin' their bikes for the first time or moms are pushin' strollers. ♪ >> the main line is an idyllic place for families. privacy is valued highly here. and, people don't like drama. >> i heard the radio transmission. multiple gunshot wounds. >> at that moment, my heart just sank. 'cause we don't really receive those type of calls. >> i come outside all up and down the street it's just pol

aid, more like mark s of the comcast announcement with the three device offering -- free device offeringwell as facebook's device offering. taylor: mark, how much of that international growth and international expansion can you factor into a long-term sales growth for roku? mark: we have very modest expectations. i sort of look at international as somewhat of a call option on the stock. if you look at the expectations, we have only about 40 million u.s. households as active accounts. depending on how people are modeling the growth, i think there is still some room in the stock as it relates to international. we sort of look at international option here. taylor: you were talking a lot about penetration rate. i wonder, when we measure current demand, how elastic are customers? could you very easily switch or do you see demand holding in there? mark: well, i think it is very easy to switch, but i think habits are hard to break. you think about how roku is being used today in the household, it is an aggregation device. it is whether you are watching apple tv, netflix, hulu, what have you --

of that device.nything you can do on that device, the attacker, in this case, the government, can do. they can read your email, they can collect every document, they can look at your contact book, they can turn the location services on. they can see anything that is on that phone instantly and send it back home to the mother ship. they can do the same with laptops. the other prong that we forget so frequently is that in many cases they don't need to hack our devices. they can simply ask google for a copy of our email box because google saves a copy of that. >> what about enabling your microphone camera? >> if you can do it, they can do it. it is trivial to remotely turn on your microphone or to activate your camera so long as you have systems-level access. if you had hacked someone's device remotely, anything they can do, you can do. they can look up your nose, right, they can record what's in the room. the screen may be off as it's sitting on your desk, but the device is talking all of the time. the

and they took pictures of the device itself.rned out that after the massive bomb scare, the multi-agency security operation, and all the white-knuckled fear. the supposed bomb was a fake. nothing more than modeling clay with wires running through it that connected to nothing. there was no timer counting down to 11:00 a.m. >> reporter: and there wasn't any kind of explosive device beneath the bed of matt's mom valerie. so matt and valerie would have some explaining to do. >> why don't you start at the top for us. >> okay. >> reporter: by now, at bristol police station, detectives were questioning valerie and were learning some strange details about the kidnappers' mo. >> what'd they use to bind your hands? >> they didn't. they left my hands free. >> and your feet were just tied together and to the bed? >> yeah. >> but your hands were free? >> but my hands were free, yeah. >> reporter: why would real kidnappers leave her hands free? and another weird detail: according to valerie, the kidnappers behaved like gentlemen. >> they were

you've got a standard device.l timers. >> pipe bombs are over here. >> and mechanical timers that are the device. then you have the distractions that are laid in there. >> the device was filled with things that were meant to confuse. this cell phone is a toy connected to nothing. and some of the warning labels were phony, but it was lethal with compressed black powder sifted from shotgun shells. the model was built to the exact specifications of the original, down to the make and model of the household items used. this digital timer was designed to sound a warning beep beep in the seconds before the bomb exploded. >> that's what you're hearing right there. >> the bomb was the work of someone with machine shop skills and clearly a devious mind. the original bomb parts were sent to the fbi lab in quantico, virginia. the scavenger hunt notes, meanwhile, were delivered to fbi behavioral profilers. think the hannibal lecter unit. >> you bring your case, and you talk and discuss your case with the profilers. and togethe

what this means is they will try to remotely take over your device. once they do this by detecting a vulnerability in the software that your device runs, such as apple's ios, or microsoft windows, they can craft a special kind of attack code called an exploit. they then launch this exploit at the as a rule -- vulnerability, anything you can do on the device, the attacker, in this case, the government can do. they can read your e-mail, collect every document, look at your contact book, turn the location services on. they can see anything that is on that phone instantly and send it back home to the mothership. they can do the same with laptops. other prong that we forget so frequently is that in many cases they don't need to hack our devices. they can simply ask google for a copy of our e-mail box. because google saves a copy of that. >> what about enabling your microphone camera? >> if you can do it, they can do it. it is trivial to remotely turn on your microphone or to activate your camera so long as you have systems level access. if you had hacked s

it sends a reportingbut you cae on the device itself or your facebook activity log.r: privacy data has been a big focal point of facebook. is now the right time to be launching new products where there is a camera or microphone when there is so much of scrutiny and arguably the least amount of trust and facebook? -- in facebook? >> it is the right time. essence ofis the what facebook does and that's what these devices are centered around. we have taken every precaution we can to make sure people feel comfortable with the devices in their homes. when they have that experience of connecting with somebody that they care about who does not live nearby, they will experience something special. time when comes at a antitrust scrutiny is at the highest. when you think of facebook, a lot of people think of apps and software. is now the right time to expand and go into tech, homes, and tv? >> this category is so new. smart displays have only been in the market for two or three years. it is early and everyone wants to experiment. it is not very big, but it is growing year-over-

we think it is implemented in devices and those devices have been adopted. we will have this into and verifiability which will enable individual voters and officials to trust the outcome with the ability to have audits as a backup to add a layer of trust in the system. >> a lot more confidence in the system. >> providing a much greater degree because individual voters for the first time will see that their vote was actually counted. >> you have emphasized that our electoral integrity was a matter of security. why does vladimir putin and all the other authoritarians want to destabilize our elections. making deals around the world and going corrupt each other's elections and interfere. >> the gentleman from pennsylvania. thanks for all you're doing to make our lection safe. this goes to a number of where we are at today. directing intervenes in our lection. and the process for certifying devices and so forth. this is something that the entire election community is reacting to to a relatively short period of time. when our security team saw that a group that we

do you believe there are other devices? we know the new ira are co nsta ntly devices?ld be confident they are planning further attacks. were any officers injured? no, the only people we believe to be injured or the two young people burned by petrol bombs. would you be keen to speak to them? we would. have you any indication is why there has been any indication is why there has been an increase in these attacks in re ce nt an increase in these attacks in recent weeks and you mentioned this device contained commercial explosives, either similarities between the devices and how concerned would you be that these groups have access to them? there was lots of speculation why there has been an increase. that threat has been an increase. that threat has been an increase. that threat has been severe for ten years, it's undeniable in recent months we have seen more attempted attacks. i cannot attribute up to any single event but there seem to be a more concerted effort by dissident republicans, we have seen the re—emergence of the continuity ira in the tyrone area, and we saw an

details on those devices more. licitg up, we get an three years after microsoft acquired the job listing site. we begin with one of our top stories. oracle announced wednesday that the ceo is taking a leave of absence for health reasons. they disclosed the move along with quarterly earnings a day earlier than results were scheduled to be released. the company did not specify what issues he faces or how long he's leave will be, but the executive chairman released a statement saying quote oracle has an extremely capable cfo and a deep team of executives with long tenure. we will cover marks responsibilities during his absence with support from the rest of our strong management team. to discuss, i spoke with a bloomberg intelligence senior analyst and our global executive editor tom giles. >> as far as his leave, there have been signs that he may not be unwell. what was not expected was the announcement to come today. and because they had not announced until now, there was a question mark about whether they would and

it's that time of the year again and this little devices are being launched in berlin. new nokia elevating every spirit. that's just one of the many highlights. the world's biggest smartphone maker samsung has unveiled its highly anticipated galaxy fold after months of delay and while the device may be sleek and shiny there are still some questions. i think the big screen is an exciting development and what it offers is a whole new device diversity in design i'm not something that we really need in the smartphone space but at a $2000.00 premium price point how many people are really prepared to go out and buy one particularly with the quality problems we see is going to be a big question and the competition is huge sony just launched the experience 5. meanwhile nokia is hoping for a comeback with this flip phone made for those who like tech with a retro feel. so whether it's something old only new or a blend of the 2 it appears that tech consumers will be spoiled for choice. stocks worldwide hit one month highs and u.s. equities jumped on hopes of the escalation and the

the more recent crisis has to do with the fact that we believe some of these devices are either beingld be devices being bought off the streets of the black market, or the use of the device is taking a different turn from what had been utilised in the past. we just don't know enough about making it safe at this point, so about making it safe at this point, so the advice is, if you don't vape, don't start. if you are vaping, please stop. and certainly if you have any symptoms relating to what has been described, talk to your pa rents, has been described, talk to your parents, your child and to your doctor, and be very honest about what you have been doing, and that might help bring a link to the a nswer might help bring a link to the answer as to what has been going on. considering not much is known, is the regulation around vaping keeping up the regulation around vaping keeping up with what we do know so far? we have been concerned for a number of yea rs have been concerned for a number of years at the association that the number of products in the united states market have not been r

i mean, you have devices like the apple watch or many other much more sophisticated clinical devicesdata back into the doctor's office. and then you have very high resolution cameras that can pretty much do fairly good videoconferencing in the same way that i'm sitting in boston and you're sitting down there in new york and still have a fairly good conversation. you can tell a lot about me by looking at the camera. but that does not always replace physical relationship. in american well we don't believe telehealth should be the only way to interact with your doctor but, rather, sometimes a very effective way. so give an example. when i am considering to go to the emergency room and not really sure that i need to, it may be a good idea for me to interact with nurses or doctors in the e.r. in my community online, let me know whether i need to show up now or maybe i should show up later. and it's very, very helpful. gerry: we've got to take a quick break. i do want to hear more about that example and i'm a little concerned that you can maybe diagnose me down the line there from boston.

iot devices will triple to 75 billion by the year 2025. data holdings are growing by around 40% to 50% per year. in the fourth decade, what do we do? i have a couple observations about what i don't think will work. we will not be able to hire our way out of the problem. there is a secular global shortage of cyber talent, ai talent, big data analytics talent and that shortage is in the hundreds of thousands to millions. there is no way for government organizations or private sector organizations to simply hire enough people to solve the problem. we will also not spend our way out of the problem. adding more tools is too often a one-way ratchet. what's the new cyber technique? let's add to the tool kit. big organizations. 150 to 200 cyber tools installed. the big question is can you ever get to the point where you have the confidence to take tools away? to simplify, to streamline, to create more clarity for the analyst and less fog, less complexity. i also know that layering on more compliance and standards will not solve the problem. compli

use those devices repeatedly? >> i would go with, yes, it is certainly a best practice. there are some circumstances where there's effective reformatting that might be effective but i think using new ones is always the best, best practice. >> mr. burt? >> i would caution that usb devices are a known vector for the transmission of malware which can be installed at the time of their manufacture. even using new usb devices or anything other than a very highly trusted source and increasingly that would mean of american manufacture if you're using it in an election of the united states is a challenging thing to do. you can try to scan that device, you can try to make sure it doesn't have malware on it before it's used but that could be a costly and time-consuming practice. so the use of usb devices is something we would say you should be very cautious about doing it even once because the malware may be present on that device when you first use it. >> thank you. miss plunkett, do you have any thoughts? >> i would say un
