Reporter good morning to you, sam and laura. As you mentioned it have is kalanick stepping down as ceo as it deals with its fair share of controversy. He did step down tuesday night, and this was just after a week of taking a leave of absence to deal with the death of his mother who was killed in a boating accident but came at a time the popular Ride Sharing Company was under the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. Take, for instance, this video when kalanick argued with an uber driver unhappy about fare changes, telling him to take personal responsibility for his financial situation. And then allegations of sexual harassment, bullying and retaliation in the work place and management turnover as the company tries to work its way out of a series of missteps. In a statement from kalanick he says, quote, i love uber more than anything in the world and at this difficult moment in my personal life i have accepted the request to step aside so that uber can go back to building rather than being distracted with another fight. Now in a statement from board of directors, travis has always put uber first this is a sign of his devotion and love for uber. Hes taking the time to heal from his personal tragedy while giving the company room to fully embrace a new chapter in ubers history. We look forward to continuing to serve with him on the board. And as it says in a statement, kalanick will remain as a board member as the Company Searches for a new ceo. Were live in San Francisco, pete suratos for today in the bay. Thank you, pete.
