kurt: you mentioned the app store. talking before the break about advertising opportunities facebook and google have. is there any particular market or business line you think might be the most vulnerable right now? eric: elizabeth warren put out a statement focusing on areas where tech companies compete. if you are google selling ads or amazon selling products, those are areas she is focused on. but i think there is so much power in the technology industry, and now that it's a bipartisan issue where republicans and democrats are game to go after the tech companies, there are a lot of vulnerable areas. kurt: for those who have not seen this play out as often as others, what is the next step? what is the government going to be doing that tech companies are going to be seeing in the near future? sally: the next step is reviewing document requests, subpoenas to the tech giants, particularly the 50 state ag's who joined together to investigate google. they served cid's. nine are serving cities to facebook. judiciaryen the

can you tell us more about these reports that kurt volker has resigned?eo at the state department. he was one of five people who were scheduled to give evidence over the course of the next two weeks, to these committees, these democrat led committees, and are investigating and doing this impeachment enquiry into the conduct of the president donald trump. also amongst that five was marie yovanovitch, the former us ambassador to the ukraine, somebody who was sacked after falling out and having disagreements with the policy, over policy with president trump. where kurt volker‘s departure will leave his testimony to congress remains to be seen, but there is certainly somebody who either thought they would want to question —— i would have thought they would wa nt to —— i would have thought they would want to question very closely, a since he is alleged to have brokered these meetings with president trump is my personal lawyer rudolph giuliani and members of the ukraine government. i'm sure we will hear more about kurt volker in the coming hours and days, but o

he was never a big fan of kurt volcker. volcker knew that president trump was interested in this investigation, in pushing an investigation into joe biden. so he felt like he had to engage in some sort of way. that's what a source close with volcker told me just this week when we were discussing this. >> because that issue, susan, is whether or not the president in that phone conversation with president zelensky of ukraine, for all practical purposes said, you want u.s. aid, get me dirt on the bidens. >> this is why volcker's resignation could spell some trouble for the white house. the claims of executive privilege only work for current officials or for officials who aren't interested in testifying. so volcker might not be interested in being the fall guy here. we saw rudy giuliani essentially say if i'm going down, i'm taking you down with me. state department officials were in a difficult position. rudy giuliani is out there freelancing ukrainian policy. they're trying to understand what's going on. now, volcker might be

it was his paper that discovered that kurt volker had resigned.dent paper find this information out? well, i think the most important thing to us as we a lwa ys most important thing to us as we always try to find a way to localise national issues. we wanted to see why this would be important to our community and we saw that, the director of the mccain institute, which is an asu programme, kurt volker, was involved so we decided we would pursue it in the way we knew how and await affected arizona state university and our reporting let us do this. what has the university been saying, if anything? they haven't really commented other than saying they can't speak to matters of whether or not he will stay at the university and then confirming that he resigned from his duties as a special envoy. how significant do you think his resignation is in all of this? i'm not sure i can speak to the significance, i'm just here to do the reporting and serve the community in any way that i can for arizona state so i'm not sure i would be the best person to speak on

kurt volker, the u.s. envoy to ukraine. what have you learned about the resignation of this official? >> reporter: well, we should note that kurt volker is probably the key player when it comes to looking at if the state department was helping rudy giuliani a little bit too much with his partisan, politically motivated agenda in terms of encouraging ukraine to investigate joe biden, right? so what we know is that kurt volker had actually met with giuliani. he had talked with giuliani. he had even, according to the whistle-blower complaint, met with zelensky, president zelensky of ukraine and talked to him about how to navigate the demands made by president trump over this summer. so clearly kurt volker was in the center of it, and we still have a lot of unanswered questions because the state department has said on the record that kurt volker did, indeed, connect a zelensky aide with rudy giuliani. but they haven't gone any further than that. so we need to hear from the state department about what kurt volker was doing, and

so clearly kurt volker was in the center of it. we still have a lot of unanswered questions because the study has said on the record that kurt volker did, indeed, connect a zelensky aide with rudy giuliani. but they haven't gone any further than that. so we ned to hear from the state department about what kurt volker was doing, and he clearly had had enough of it. the state department hadn't come out defending him in the last week. instead, we had rudy giuliani on fox news waving his cell phone, showing off text messages he said were from kurt volker. he said that he was doing everything he was doing because the state department told him to. and now we have kurt volker, the person he was talking to, resigning from the state department. >> the other question, of course, is what secretary of state mike pompeo knew or knows now, secretary pompeo has been subpoenaed by the house. is there something specific that we know has precipitated that? and would he be forced to comply? do we know what his response has been? >> reporter: yeah. th

the headlines: the us envoy to ukraine, kurt volker, has resigned.e biden. it's claimed that mr volker tried to arrange meetings for mr trump's personal lawyer, rudy giuliani, in the country. in washington, the us secretary of state, mike pompeo, has been ordered to hand over documents to an impeachment inquiry looking into mr trump's dealings with the ukraine government. mr pompeo will have a week to comply with the subpoena. more than nine million people are expected to cast their ballots in afg hanistan's presidential election. it's a poll which has been overshadowed by violent attacks, claimed by the taliban, which have left many dead in recent weeks. thousands of thomas cook staff are taking legal action

that won't work for somebody like kurt volker. the thing that's different about this inquiry is that the subject matter that is at issue has already been out there. the conversation has already been revealed. what the democrats are trying to do is to build a case around it. the administration can't ultimately block the transcript from coming out because it's already out there. >> and the president was unapologetic about the phone call and how he conducted himself. adam schiff says the stonewalling if there's such a thing in this case moving forward only strengthens their case for overall impeachment. fr do you think the white house sees it that way or is it strictly defending itself? >> what i've heard from white house officials is they don't take this too seriously yet. that they won't take it particularly seriously unless or until the house moves to actually move on the impeachment inquiry which is what nancy pelosi is calling now a formal impeachment inquiry. no vote taken on the floor. there isn't some special committee that's

meantime we're now getting reaction from ukraine about kurt volker's recent departure. chance is in kiev. matthew, what more are you learning? >> reporter: the ukraines say they are not happy that volume has resigned. he was a key figure, remember in the flow of aid and military assistance and financial assistance from the united states to ukraine. of course he was the u.s. special representative to the country so there have been various individuals here, particularly a presidential aide who said he had deep regret about the resignation when he heard about it. there's been some reaction that's been coming out in the past few minutes on nation television here. that same presidential aid, andriy yermak, saying what it means for ukraine saying they see the united states as a strategic partner. but what happens there in terms of the political crisis, these are the words of andriy yermak, its their internal political cuisine, the translation we got, whatever is happening in the united states is the internal affairs of that country and we don't necessarily want to get involve

>> kurt volker is really a key player here, victor. he was mentioned in the whistle-blower's complaint. then he was the special envoy to the ukraine, and the whistle-blower accused volcker of setting up a very important meeting between rudy giuliani, the president's personal attorney, and top aide to volodymyr zelensky. this meeting that took place in madrid about a week after president trump had that phone call with zelensky, kurt volker met in madrid and the whistle-blower described this as a followup to the president's july 25th phone call that's at the center of the whistle-blower complaint. so that is something that obviously house democrats are interested in scrutinizing. it's volcker's role to facilitate it. that is something that is going to get a lot of attention. volcker, victor, is one of the people that these house democratic committees would like to see deposed before october 10th. >> yes. we've heard from the foreign affairs committee that volcker will be questioned some time next week. sarah westwood for us in washington

>> i don't know why kurt resigned, i mean,. >> brennan: he is being deposed this week. >> kurt did his job honorably and decently. i think already a lot of people in the state department who maybe have questions about what he did and why he did it but i should tell you, he wasn't the only one. he was joined by another ambassador who talked to me, debriefed me, gave me information about what to ask mr. urmack. >> brennan: who is thaded. >> i didn't do this at my own, i did this at the request of the state department and i have all of to text messages to prove it, and i also have a thank you from them for doing a good job. so -- >> brennan: who sent you that? >> why is the state department. >> did pompeo ask you to do this things? >> he did not mr. volcker did and mr. sunday lynn did but after i talked to the secretary last week he said he was aware of it, he told me he was aware of it. >> brennan: so you are saying the secretary of state didn't instruct you to set up these meetings but he knew what you were doing when you were meeting with -- i am asking you to claire a guy that. what e

what reasons has kurt volker given for his resignation?n publicly about why he resigned. one can only guess. and my senseis resigned. one can only guess. and my sense is that kurt volker — it was an unpaid, part—time emissary envoy to ukraine. he has a dayjob. he seems to be somebody who tried to limit the damage, in the words of the whistle—blower, and my guess is that he wants to go before congress and able to speak his own mind without the responsibility for also speaking for the administration. paul, great to talk to you, thank you very much. my pleasure, thank you. the headlines on bbc news... the prime minister could face a vote of no confidence as early as next week, according to a senior snp mp, as conservatives gather for their party conference. meanwhile, number ten describes as "a politically motivated attack" borisjohnson‘s referral to the police watchdog over his links to an american businesswoman. labour'sjeremy corbyn promises to scrap the controversial welfare policy, universal credit, should the party get into power. docto

kurt: i imagine the u.s.ost critical market for them from a pr or business standpoint. not only is it the market where you will have those stories of experience, but also there is an element of business. if facebook is to turn this into a moneymaking endeavor, the united states has been their biggest market for advertising and i assume that is ultimately how they will try to make money from this some time down the road. i think they wanted to have some kind of proof of concept that it works in other markets before they brought it to what i would consider the most important one. caroline: every single facebook reporter is rolling their eyes as a redditor asks to go and check it out. kurt: i think this will be limited from a use case regardless of the privacy element, but when you look at the kind of stuff facebook has done over the last year, you know with portal, there in home chat device, they are rolling out dating, it does not seem like they are slowing down when it comes to privacy related things. they ar

the state department's special envoy to ukraine, ambassador kurt volker not only quitting in the wake of the bombshell whistle-blower complaint but now called to answer questions in front of not one not two but three congressional committees. a big question tonight, will the white house take drastic measures to control what he says? also tonight multiple sources telling cnn that one senior white house staffer in particular is taking the heat for this very bad week for the president. the acting white house chief of staff mick mulvaney. we're told frustration is widespread, that he didn't have a strategy in place for dealing with the fallout when the whistle-blower complaint went public. to the white house right now and cnn's jeremy diamond is on the scene for us. the way it's described to us about mick mulvaney is that he is on, quote, shaky ground. that's not an enviable position to be in. in this specific white house. what are you learning specifically? >> it certainly is not an enviable position, wolf. tonight multiple sources are telling cnn that the acting chief of staff mick mulv

envoy to ukraine, kurt volker resigned on friday, the day after the complaint was released and all oft coming up and first let's go to the white house. jeremy diamond is on the scene for us. i just mentioned volker who is now out of a job and there are also reports that someone else very close to the president also perhaps with an uncertain future. what are you learning? who's that? >> that's right, wolf. tonight multiple sources are telling us that the acting white house chief of staff mick mulvaney is on shaky ground with the president. the president is directing much of his ire at his chief of staff and other white house aides are pointing the finger at mick mulvaney and it is not because of the releasing of the phone call between the president and the president of ukraine and rather it's because of a lack of a strategy these sources are telling us to deal with the fallout of that whistle-blower complaint and to handle the quick speed at which we have watched house democrats move toward impeachment. now tonight the white house press secretary stephanie grisham is pushing back on th

. >> cnn has confirmed that kurt volker, u.s.iplomat, has now suddenly resigned. >> the white house in crisis. we have learned mike pompeo has been subpoenaed by three house committees. >> democrats saying if they don't get this and other subpoenas it will only strengthen their case for impeachment. >> impeach any president over a phone call like this would be insane. >> the president is blatantly extorting a foreign leader. >> no push, no pressure, no nothing. it's all a hoax, folks. it's all a big hoax. >>> welcome this saturday morning. we're glad to have you with us. we're following major news. secretary of state mike pompeo has been subpoenaed to turn over documents related to ukraine and the whistle-blower scandal. he's already missed two deadlines. his third and final chance to hanlds them over is now on file. >>> kurt volker is now out of a job. resources tell cnn he resigned yesterday. the whistle-blower complaint says volcker advised ukrainian leaders how to deal with president trump and rudy giuliani. >>> the "washingt

kurt: google obviously owns youtube. main way that a lot of people spread entertainment videos, but also news and information and we have seen a and thingsl hoaxes go on to youtube and get spread far and wide. when you look at that, when you look at microsoft with skype and other communication services, i think you bring these companies large userat have a base and a large technology base of services people use to communicate and spread information. that is the biggest concern that i can see, they are worried stuff is going to get onto these services and spread like wildfire without being able to be contained. taylor: would you expect any real piece of information to come out of this, or did it feel more like a planning meeting? kurt: the way it has been described to us by multiple people is really just a planning meeting at this point. of whatll pretty aware facebook has done in terms of taking down coordinated campaigns that originated in countries like russia and iran and even china just a few weeks ago. i think there

so just last week, hours before we learned that kurt volker was resigning, the house foreign affairs committee said that they would be issuing depositions, a number of them, to five state department officials, one is kurt volker. they wanted to hear from these officials in terms of what they knew about the state department's handling of the ukraine controversy. now, kurt volker is going to be appearing next thursday at this deposition, a source familiar with this discussion tells me. and what is important here though is because they are going so speedily with this process, he is going to be appearing next week just days after he quit, but it is remarkable because it is before there are -- sorry, it is before there are documents that have to be provided to the committee from the state department. and so we could have a situation in which there are members of the hill who are going into this briefing with kurt volker asking him stuff questions, but not coming prepped with everything that they need. that they could have from the state department. and so we're trying to figure out if the

the united states's special representative to ukraine, kurt volker, has resigned. it comes after a whistle—blower claimed donald trump put pressure on ukraine's president to investigate joe biden, the democratic frontrunner in the race for the white house. it's been claimed that kurt volker helped mr trump's personal lawyer, rudy giuliani, arrange meetings in ukraine — even though mr giuliani had no official role in the us government at the time. the us secretary of state mike pompeo has been ordered by the house of representatives to hand over documents to an impeachment inquiry looking into the donald trump's dealings with the ukraine government. mr pompeo will have a week to comply with the subpoena. nigerian police say they've rescued nearly 500 people from a building in the northern city of kaduna where they were being detained. those held were all men and boys, and said they'd been tortured and sexually abused. and, 22 years on, walking in his mother's footsteps. prince harry has visited a partially—cleared minefield in angola. the duke of sussex described th

kurt: you can talk to this one. can either talk through alexa, or you can say hey, portal, and that would wake it up for basic commands or requests. those are the things that they are actually starting collecting and transcribing. but the bigger question is when will they have their own assistant? the software where you would say hey portal and he would give you a bunch of different options versus basic commands. right now, they don't have any plans to remove alexa and build their own thing. but clearly with the hey, portal software they are , getting started on that. taylor: coming up, what does a $17 billion data analytics company due to diversified? if you are splunk, you enter the vc world. and "bloomberg technology" is livestreaming on twitter. check us out on @technology and be sure to follow our global breaking news network at @tictoc on twitter. this is bloomberg. ♪ here, it all starts with a simple... hello! -hi! how can i help? a data plan for everyone. everyone? everyone. let's send to everyone!

kurt: the dating profile is supposed to be completely separate.e itself is than what you would have for your normal facebook profile. the idea is you could carve out this little world that is dating specific that does not touch on the rest of your facebook experience. what is interesting is that that profile can pull elements of your instagram profile as well. you can have pictures from instagram. eventually, you will be able to have your instagram story there as well. it is kind of a blending of your facebook life and instagram life in this new separate dating profile and that is what they are trying to create. caroline: why has it taken so long to come to the u.s. when they have been playing added in 19 countries already? u.s. isimagine the probably the most critical market for them from a pr or business standpoint. not only is it the market where of will have those stories experience, but also there is an element of business. if facebook is to turn this into a moneymaking endeavor, the united states has been their biggest market for advertising

sources tell cnn kurt volker resigned yesterday evening. let's bring in our national security reporter. kylie atwood. i know you've been working to gather more information. what can you tell us? >> yeah. it came pretty suddenly. we've heard a lot about kurt volker over the past few days namely from rudy guiliani who has been waving his cell phone showing people the text messages he has between himself and kurt volker who is that special representative to ukraine for the trump administration. where it gets sticky there is in that role as a state department official he shouldn't be engaging in politically motivated investigations that guiliani was pushing and that we know trump had discussed during his phone call with president zelensky in july. but the state department has said, listen. all ambassador volker did here was connect guiliani with an aide of zelensky's. what we know from this whistle-blower complaint is it was actually a lot more than that. the day after trump spoke with president zelensky on the phone the next day kurt volker wa

kurt: they keep using the arms race kind of thing.wo steps forward, but so are the bad guys. the things we have seen on the ad front, you mentioned the war room. this is something they plan to pop up for different elections globally where they bring everybody into one room to better monitor things like fake news and fake stories that be might spreading. that is a hard thing to do to manually keep up on a platform with more than 2 billion people. i think they will continue to do those kinds of things. they have not announced a lot beyond their main initiatives. i think they plan to basically try to fight this with their employees in real-time. emily: this has got a little bit less attention, but facebook has been adding more humans to its editorial staff to decide what goes up, what stays up, what comes down. as somebody who has covered facebook and been a journalist for many years, is this simply what facebook has to do and is it a failure of ai and technology? david: the only way they can make serious progress is a combination of alg

the us special envoy to ukraine, kurt volker, has resigned.or speechwriter to bill clinton. i started by asking him how much trouble president trump might be in, this time. serious trouble. it looks like the drive to impeachment has begun, certainly an enquiry is happening that was not happening prior to the revelations. the unclear thing is what crime was committed? one can make a house of foreign policy and the venal and still not commit a crime. things are moving very fast. and his revelations, at least on face value, are quite extraordinary. he used the power of his office to not only dig up dirt on the most likely opponent, is most likely opponent in 2020, but he did so by denying military aid, holding of military aid that congress had passed and he had signed stop and to an ally underan passed and he had signed stop and to an ally under an active fire threat from russia. so, a very big deal. what's different about it this time, though, there have been rumblings of an impeachment enquiry before?” think what happened last time is the russi

kurt volker, the former special envoy to the ukraine. that's lot of moving parts here and i think a big thing that democrats are worried about is that they want to keep this narrow straight into ukraine. make sure that they can wrap up some of these investigations. because they recognize that next year is 2020, it's an election year. and if they're going to move forward with potential articles of impeachment with several people on the hill and lawmakers i speak to say speaker nancy pelosi needs to move forward with that because the genie is out of the bottle. you can't put the genie back in the bottle. there's a lot of moving parts here and kurt volker, they're looking to understand what the president's interactions with the new ukrainian president zelensky were and trying to get a good sense of it. there's more conversations he's had with him that weren't disclosed in the whistle-blower complaint or in the memo of the call between the two leaders. >> there's a lot of moving parts. susan, when you have those parts, the pompeo subpoena, a

the us special envoy to ukraine, kurt volker, has resigned.orrespondent, david willis, reports. god bless you, mr president! donald trump is defiant and lashing out on his preferred medium, twitter. taking aim at the man who will play a key role in his impeachment hearings, the democratic chairman of the house intelligence committee, adam schiff. of him, the president said: the whistle—blower, the whistle—blower, who revealed details of his telephone conversation with ukraine's president, volodymyr zelenskiy, mr trump has branded a ‘partisan operative'. yet, the whistle—blower‘s account of events has proved uncannily accurate, not only about the contents of the telephone call, but attempts by the white house to cover them up. they have now confirmed that a transcript of the call was moved to a more secure server. as the democrats' impeachment inquiry gathers pace, today saw the first subpoena to the secretary of state, mike pompeo, demanding documents relating to contacts between members of his staff and the government of ukraine. committee me

fact yesterday the journalist keith gessen published a story of based on the interview he did with kurt volker and basically kurt volker told him rather straightforwardly that when republicans who are against trump were coming out as i have never trump he didn't follow that position and he felt that if trump is if trump is elected then he will need smart talented people on his staff to do the job so it's very clear that he believed that he could make a difference by by working in the working for the u.s. government under trouble i think this is experience shows 'd that everything from touch is really is poison that a lot of ways so what will his departure mean for us ukraine relations in general and u.s. policy on ukraine. u.s. policy will stay loyal to the same one ukraine u.s. foreign policy is a big ship it doesn't turn around on a dime and i think that u.s. foreign policy is going to change much even though we know that trump has a very negative attitude towards ukraine in a lot of ways in fact that's one of the things critical are actually said in the interview yes and that trump v
