being pursued in europe, other u.s. states have announced they will follow suit, so this is going to hurt the oil business, it will hurt oil companies in the international oil producers in the middle east and in russia. i expect there will be continued pushback. >> we will see how this plays out, thank you very much for joining us. > >> the former head of security for twitter will testify at a senate hearing next month, he says the social media giant has significant security issues with with user data, he also accuses twitter officials of misleading the company's board and its regulators, he the claims were sent to numerous government agencies and congressional committees in a lengthy disclosure last month, twitter says he was fired in january for for what it claims was poor performance, the company denies the allegations and is upset on the same day shareholders are expected to vote on the potential takeover deal with elon musk. > >> this evening we are counting down for the launch of nasa's unmanned rocket that will mark the start of a new mission to send humans back to the moon.
