interim president.so country.guiado declared interim president last week and strongly backed by the united states was talking in the televised address, special police forces believed connected to the man insisting he is venezuela's real president, nick has maduro, allegedly showing up at his home to ask questioning about his wife. guaido dashing home. his daughter there. "don't cross the red line," he said. "there are all types of codes. political, sports, including the mafia has codes. one is that family is sacred." this is the latest escalation in ever-rising tensions. many venezuelans live in a state of fear. where secret police round up opponents in the night. in an op-ed in "the new york times," guaido claimed he's had secret discussions with the military. key to maduros grip on power, offering amnesty to some. you can feel the tension in the air here. david? >> ian, thank you. >>> back here at home now, and late developments in the search for a missing teenager in madisonville, tennessee. police have arrested a relative now in connection with the disappearance of 14-year-old savannah

where it gets really tricky, the right to be forgotten does not work in the united states. if you are a sexual predator, if you are someone with a past credit history, that is not go away from the internet so that are certain laws we cannot break in the united states that makes the gdpr harder. to rob's point, there will be compliance issues. gdpr's consumer focused and enforcement bound. when you look at enforcement capabilities, small companies, particularly startups will have a different time complying. we saw that happened in the first week of gdpr adoption in europe where newspapers were actually being blocked because they had not complied with gdpr standards and people cannot get things like usa today in europe. i think we just have to be careful about how we look at what this direct implication is. we also have to really think about, again, this may not be an innovation driving tool when it comes to matching privacy with marketplace, while at the same time protecting consumers. it is a very fine line that i think just started. we have to see where it lands up, but so
