matt miller is out. that is head spinning. hopefully it makes sense.o have unfolded between the cofounders. how often were not does drama occur? it feels rare. money is involved. things get dramatic. >> klarna is doing well. it had hiccups, as many did, over the past couple years. basically, it's a richly valued company that should be headed for ipo. when this type of drama unfolds, it's usually behind the scenes. whatever disagreements happen at board level rarely make it beyond those doors. then when they do, to have two partners affiliated so closely with one firm have a dispute like this, is almost unheard of. people are surprised. more than anything, at how word of it became so public. the ceo ended up having to fly to silicon valley to make amends and smooth things over with sequoia. sequoia had to appoint a new board member. it's all gotten unusually messy. caroline: sequoia itself is transitioning new leadership and splitting from its china division. a whole host of stories going on right now. let's stick with vc. a slightly calmer part of it.

matt miller, who is the state department sports person, also told reporters on thursday that this is all the more reason why there needs to be a temporary, a pause in the fighting or temporary cease fire, as well as a swap of all of the captives who have been held inside garza since october 7th. miller told reporters on thursday that this underscores the urgency. he said this is why the secretary of state to the blinking had a phone call early on thursday. with the foreign minister of the shake mohammed. then i'll go off bon bonnie to talk about the need to move beyond what happened in northern gauze or on thursday, to not let that tragedy to rail efforts to bring about the 6 week break in the fighting. so that more humanitarian a can get in. so that captives can be released and so that the end of the work is in a way be brought to to a close sooner rather than later. okay, thank you for that, russell. enjoying that for us in washington. so head on the al jazeera, struggling economy and unemployment. the key issues is almost 61000000. the radians head to the poles for parliamentary e

matt miller was reporting about a new directive to antony blinken to not use gendered terms like mother here. >> why do you think a memo like that was made? >> i'll say first of all, when it comes to these types of cables, they all come out with the secretary's signature on it. that is standard department practice. has been for years. that doesn't mean it's necessarily a memo from the secretary himself. i would say if you look at the memo as i have done, it's a standard government practice to try to encourage people just to be respectful of others and use the terms with which others are comfortable and talk to people the way that they would like to be addressed and nothing more than that. >> sandra: it would appear they're trying to distance blinken from that memo, john. >> john: yeah, you know a lot of critics saying don't you have something more pressing to look after than that? >> sandra: the answer is yes. >> john: all right. hey, a major step forward tomorrow for the impeachment inquiry of president biden. a house panel is set to interview his younger brother behind closed doors. d

. >> rick, you had matt miller at the state department saying russia does not recognize duel citizenshipat more should we expect to see the government doing? >> to that point, they don't recognize dual citizenship. the idea that the fact that you could be a citizen of the united states and russia, they presume you're a russian citizen at heart. but just again to make the more macropoint, the putin government is a mafia state. to tribe what they do as transactional is a euphemism. they are completely cynical in how they use foreign affairs, how they use the citizens. they are capturing them in order to trade them. this is the apple of donald trump's eye. the person who is abusing americans, killing freedom fighters, americans should realize that. >> ambassador, i understand that we're talking about an american here, but this comes as putin's crackdown on opposition has led to the detaining of hundreds of russian citizens from mourning the death of alexei navalny. the white house is preparing major sanctions on friday. your sense of what is necessary, especially because every question i as
