Emerging markets are going to be essential for e-commerce growth, as retailers in developed markets may soon reach saturation in terms of consumer growth.

For example, almost half of US households now have a Prime membership, diminishing Amazon's growth potential in the country. Meanwhile, in China, the world's largest e-commerce market, nearly half of the population is actively making online purchases, leaving little room for growth. 

However, India, Southeast Asia, and Latin America are worth keeping an eye on. E-commerce penetration rates in these areas hover between 2-6%, presenting a huge opportunity for future growth as online sales gain traction. Moreover, these regions are expected to grow at compound annual growth rates (CAGRs) of 31%, 32%, and 16%, respectively, through 2021.

This report compiles several e-commerce snapshots, which together highlight the most notable emerging markets in various regions. Each provides an overview of the e-commerce industry in a particular country, discusses influential retailers, and provides insights into the opportunities and challenges for that specific domestic industry.

Here are some of the key takeaways:

• Emerging markets are going to be essential for e-commerce growth, as retailers in developed markets may soon reach saturation in terms of consumer growth.
• India is the clear overall leader in e-commerce potential, but countries in Southeast Asia and Latin America are also worth keeping an eye on. Within Southeast Asia, Indonesia shows the most promise for retailers, as the government is loosening restrictions on foreign investments, and its massive population is gaining spending power and more access to internet. Meanwhile, Mexico is a retailer's best bet for expansion in Latin America, due to its stable economy and rising middle class, but Brazil may be gearing up to steal the top spot.
• However, doing business in these regions can be difficult. In most of these emerging markets, infrastructure is underdeveloped and the population is largely unbanked, making digital payments a challenge.
• If retailers can build a brand presence in these markets while online shopping is still in its nascent stages, they may become market leaders as e-commerce takes off in the regions. Moreover, these markets could provide new sources of growth for companies that would otherwise stagnate in more mature e-commerce markets.

 In full, the report:

• Explores the e-commerce industry in India, Southeast Asia, and Latin America.
• Highlights the leading country in each region, as well as key e-commerce players there. 
• Outlines the challenges and opportunities each region faces.
• Gives insight into how these emerging markets may shape the future of e-commerce.

• Former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz said Sunday he's "seriously considering" running for president.
• Schultz said he would run as a "centrist independent," and in a "60 Minutes" interview criticized both the Democratic and Republican parties for engaging in "revenge politics."
• In response to criticisms that his candidacy would divert votes from Democratic candidates and potentially hand a second term to President Donald Trump, Schultz said his lack of party affiliation would be a "win" for Americans.

Former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz announced Sunday he is seriously considering a 2020 bid as an independent candidate.

"I love our country, and I am seriously considering running for president as a centrist independent," he tweeted Sunday evening.

In an interview with The New York Times, Schultz said he'll be traveling across the country for a book tour during the next three months, during which he will decide whether to formally declare his candidacy.

In a "60 Minutes" interview with correspondent Scott Pelley, Schultz hammered President Donald Trump for his lack of qualifications. But he also took aim at both Democrats and Republicans for sowing division across the country and contributing to what he said was a "fragile time" in America.

"Not only the fact that this president is not qualified to be the president, but the fact that both parties are consistently not doing what's necessary on behalf of the American people and are engaged, every single day, in revenge politics," he said.

Schultz told The Times he also wouldn't consider running as a Democrat, because he would "have to be disingenuous" and adopt the party's leftward shift on certain policies.

"When I hear people espousing free government-paid college, free government-paid health care, and a free government job for everyone — on top of a $21 trillion debt — the question is, how are we paying for all this and not bankrupting the country?" he said.

Rumors of an independent campaign from Schultz have been percolating for weeks, and set Democrats across the country on edge.

Already, Democratic 2020 candidates have begun chiming in on a potential Schultz bid, warning the former Starbucks chief that an independent candidacy could help Trump's chances rather than hurt them.

"I have a concern that if he did run, that essentially it would provide Donald Trump with his best hope of getting re-elected," Democratic presidential candidate Julián Castro told CNN's Jake Tapper on Sunday. "I would truly suggest to Mr. Schultz to truly think about the negative impact that that might make."

"I have two words for Howard Schultz on a potential run for president as an independent: Just. Don't," Washington State Democratic Party Chair Tina Podlodowski said in a statement, as Business Insider's Kate Taylor reported.

When asked by Pelley whether he feared his candidacy could "siphon" votes away from Democratic candidates and propel Trump to a second victory, Schultz said his lack of party affiliation would be a "win" for Americans.

"I want to see the American people win. I want to see America win," he said. "I don't care if you're Democrat, independent, Libertarian, Republican, bring me your ideas, and I will be an independent person who will embrace those ideas, because I am not in any way in bed with a party."

Schultz also told The Times he believed the criticism was misplaced, and that he wasn't doing this to be a "spoiler."

"I am certainly prepared for the cynics and the naysayers to come out and say this cannot be done," he told the newspaper. "I don't agree with them. I think it's un-American to say it can't be done."

Schultz was CEO of Starbucks until he stepped down in April 2017. He later stepped down as chairman in June 2018 and again triggered rumors of a presidential bid. Schultz's book, "From the Ground Up: A Journey to Reimagine the Promise of America," is coming out January 28.

NOW WATCH: MSNBC host Chris Hayes thinks President Trump's stance on China is 'not at all crazy'

This is a preview of a research report from Business Insider Intelligence. Current subscribers can read the report here.

As streaming becomes an increasingly mainstream behavior among consumers, the video industry has produced new combinations of streaming video programming services to prepare for the progressive overhaul in how media is distributed.

These streaming bundles have emerged in response to the problems of media fragmentation, cord-cutting, and high consumer costs. Declining usage of traditional TV across every demographic, particularly among young viewers, has also demanded new solutions to the traditional distribution model that is pay-TV.

Although streaming media bundles are still evolving, four distinct models have emerged:

• Skinny bundles — Cheaper, streaming versions of the traditional pay-TV bundle, but with fewer channels.
• SVOD aggregators — Facilitate a la carte sign-ups to third-party streaming services through a central user portal. The primary example so far is Amazon Channels, Amazon's SVOD partner program. 
• SVOD integrations — SVOD services like Netflix that bring their offerings to a traditional operator's service.
• Streaming service partnerships — Combine one or more streaming services under a single offering, at a lower cost than the total price separately.

In the SVOD Bundling Report, Business Insider Intelligence examines the state of the US video ecosystem and how media companies are refining their distribution strategies to meet the changing needs of consumers. The report situates each of the four bundle model types within the overall SVOD market, and investigates the overarching advantages and challenges each faces. Finally, we predict how player dynamics might transform and adapt, outlining best practices for providers to succeed within the new TV landscape.

Here are some of the key takeaways from the report:

• SVOD bundles partake in a growing SVOD market in the US. Business Insider Intelligence estimates that the SVOD market totals $13.6 billion in 2018, primarily driven by uptake on services from SVOD giants Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime Video. 
• Streaming video accessed on over-the-top (OTT) platforms is going mainstream, while consumers — particularly younger viewers — are reducing usage on live, linear TV. Traditional TV usage among viewers ages 18-24 has dropped 48% since 2011, 35% among 25-34 year olds, and 18% in the 35-49 demographic. 
• Skinny bundle services are growing in popularity, with 7.2 million subscribers in the US, but they suffer fundamental financial sustainability problems. 
• Distributors with at-scale platforms and powerful back-end tech can capitalize on the growing consumer demand for content consolidation among consumers. Faced with a fragmented and expanding universe of content options, more than two-thirds of consumers say they would prefer to get all their services from a single source, per Hub Entertainment Research. 
• Winners in the bundling shakeout will have prioritized internet-connected tech, an effective user experience, reasonable pricing, and content diversity. 

In full, the report:

• Identifies the four SVOD model types that have emerged as alternatives or supplements to traditional distribution.
• Investigates the top advantages and challenges of each model type.
• Outlines strategies that players across media and distribution companies can use to address business or market challenges.
• Explores how the dynamics of each model type will evolve as services converge under new bundled offerings.

• Sen. Kamala Harris kicked off her 2020 presidential campaign on Sunday at a large rally in her hometown of Oakland, California. 
• Law-enforcement estimates put attendance at the rally at 10,000, while some 12,000 others lined the streets outside the venue. 
• Harris highlighted her 25-year career as a prosecutor and laid out her promises to fight for healthcare, education, and a reformed immigration system.

Sen. Kamala Harris kicked off her 2020 presidential campaign on Sunday at a large rally in her hometown of Oakland, California, where she positioned herself as the "moral leadership" America needs to challenge President Donald Trump. 

Thousands crowded the streets in the hours leading up to and during the event, which law enforcement officials estimated was attended by over 10,000 people, with another 12,000 packing the streets surrounding the venue. 

"What's up, Oakland?" Harris began her speech, to raucous cheers. She went on to tell the story of how her Indian mother and Jamaican father came to the US to pursue education, work, and the American dream. 

"I'm so proud to be a daughter of Oakland," she said, as the crowd roared. "My parents came here in pursuit of more than just knowledge. Like so many others, they came in pursuit of a dream — for themselves, for me, and for my sister Maya." 

The event placed people of color front and center, beginning with the national anthem sung by the Oakland Interfaith Gospel Choir, and the pledge of allegiance, delivered by an elementary school-aged black girl. A black pastor also delivered the invocation and SambaFunk, a Bay area arts collective representing the African diaspora performed — all before Harris took the stage. 

Harris ascended the American flag-decorated stage to the tune of the Mary J. Blige song "Work That," and left it to Lin-Manuel Miranda's "My Shot" from his hit musical, "Hamilton."

Harris focused the first part of her speech on her 25-year legal career as San Francisco's district attorney and California's attorney general. 

"It was just a couple of blocks from this very spot nearly 30 years ago as a young district attorney, I walked into a courtroom for the first time and said the five words that would guide my life's work: Kamala Harris for the people," she said. "My whole life I've only had one client, the people." 

She appeared to defend her claim — contested by many on the left— that she was a "progressive prosecutor," highlighting a prisoner re-entry program she founded that helped reduce rates of recidivism in San Francisco, and arguing that what she did was unusual for the time.

"'For the People' meant fighting for a more fair criminal justice system at the height of the War on Drugs by creating a first-of-its-kind initiative to allow first-time offenders to get skills and job training instead of jail time — at a time when re-entry and prevention and redemption were not in the vocabulary or mindset of most district attorneys," she said.  

Harris slammed the Trump administration, calling out specific anti-immigrant policies, including migrant family separation, and argued that the "American dream feels out of touch" for many Americans struggling economically. 

"We are at an inflection point in the history of our world," Harris said. "We are here at this moment in time because we must answer a fundamental question: Who are we? Who are we as Americans?" 

Repeating the phrase, "Let's speak truth," Harris addressed a litany of major issues, including the gender pay gap, pharmaceutical companies' raising drug prices, climate change, bigotry, and global authoritarianism. 

She quoted Bob Marley and Robert Kennedy and appeared to strive for a tone of unity, arguing that "the biggest truth of all" is that Americans have "so much more in common than what separates us." But, she added, she isn't asking Americans to ignore important differences. 

"Let me be perfectly clear: I'm not talking about unity for the sake of unity," she said. "I believe we must acknowledge the word unity has often been used to shut people up and preserve the status quo." 

The first-term senator promised to guarantee healthcare as a human right with Medicare for All, education as a right with universal pre-K and debt-free college, and boost struggling families with "the largest middle- and working-class tax credit in a generation." She mentioned immigration policy on several occassions, promising to open the country's doors to refugees, and give DACA recipients, known as "Dreamers," a pathway to citizenship. 

Harris warned that the presidential campaign trail will be challenging.

"We know what the doubters will say. It's the same thing they've always said: they'll say, it's not your time ... they'll say it can't be done," she said. "But America's story has always been written by those who can see what can be, unburdened by what has been."

The large, diverse crowd appeared enthusiastic about Harris' message and life story. 

"I think that she actually is for the people, like she says. Wouldn’t it be nice if we had someone in Washington who actually was?" Julie Hartford, a 57-year-old retiree from Vacaville, told INSIDER. 

Harris has joined several other progressive Democratic presidential candidates, including two Senate colleagues, in what will likely be a crowded and hyper-competitive primary field.

But her relative youth, identity as a black and South Asian woman, ties to both the Democratic establishment and progressive wing of the party, and popularity on social media have pundits declaring her a front-runner.

NOW WATCH: MSNBC host Chris Hayes thinks President Trump's stance on China is 'not at all crazy'

• Geoffrey Owens was among the actors who opened up the 25th annual Screen Actors Guild Awards Sunday night.
• Owens was spotted working a day job at a Trader Joe's in New Jersey last August.
• During the SAGs, he recalled taking the job while finding himself in debt to see if he could stay in his acting career.
• The 57-year-old actor received a large round of applause for his speech.

"The Cosby Show" actor Geoffrey Owens made one of the most memorable moments of the Screen Actors Guild Awards less than five minutes into the show.

The 57-year-old actor received thunderous applause for his honest "I am an actor" speech, which opened the 25th annual awards at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, California Sunday.

"So somewhere in the middle of the road of my life, I found myself in the dark wood of unemployment and debt, but instead of switching careers like a sane person, I took a job at a local Trader Joe's to see if I could hang in there with my career and it's actually worked out pretty well," said Owens. "I'm Geoffrey Owens and I am an actor."

You can watch the moment below.

Photos of the actor went viral last fall after he was spotted working at a New Jersey Trader Joe's.

Owens played doctor Elvn Tibideaux on "The Cosby Show" from 1985 to 1992. While some fans were surprised and shamed the actor for working at the store, many quickly came to his defense to point out that it's normal for many actors to have a day job.

Though he was initially a bit upset by some responses for shaming him for his day job, Owens said he wasn't embarrassed of his for working an earnest job.

"No one should feel sorry for me," he told Good Morning America. "I've had a great life. I've had a great career. I've had a career that most actors would die for. So no one has to feel sorry for me. I'm doing fine."

Owens received a lot of job offers after his photo went viral, including a chance to work on one of Tyler Perry's OWN dramas, which he accepted. Owens will reportedly appear on Perry's "The Haves and the Have Nots."

NOW WATCH: We compared Apple's $159 AirPods to Xiaomi's $30 AirDots and the winner was clear

This is a preview of a research report from Business Insider Intelligence, Business Insider's premium research service. To learn more about Business Insider Intelligence, click here.

The gig economy is becoming a core element of the labor market, pushed to the fore by platforms like Uber and Airbnb. Gig economy workers are freelancers, such as journalists who don’t work for one publication directly, freelance developers, drivers on platforms like Uber and Grab, and consumers who rent out their apartments via Airbnb or other home-sharing sites.

Gig economy workers are not employed by these platforms, and therefore typically don't receive conventional employee perks, such as insurance or retirement options. This has created a lucrative opportunity to provide tailored insurance policies for the gig economy. 

A number of insurtech startups — including UK-based Dinghy, which focuses on liability insurance, and US-based Slice, which provides on-demand insurance for a range of areas — have moved to capitalize on this new segment of the labor market. These companies have been busy finding new ways to personalize insurance products by incorporating emerging technologies, including AI and chatbots, to target the gig economy.

In this report, Business Insider Intelligence examines how insurtechs have begun addressing the gig economy, the kinds of policies they are offering, and how incumbents can tap the market themselves. We have opted to focus on three areas of insurance particularly relevant to the gig economy: vehicle insurance, home insurance, and equipment and liability insurance.

While every consumer needs health insurance, there are already a number of insurtechs and incumbent insurers that offer policies for individuals. However, when it comes to insuring work equipment or other utilities for freelancers, it's much more difficult to find suitable coverage. As such, this is the gap in the market where we see the most opportunity to deploy new products.

The companies mentioned in this report are: Airbnb, Deliveroo, Dinghy, Grab, Progressive, Slice, Uber, Urban Jungle, and Zego.

Here are some of the key takeaways from the report:

• By 2027, the majority of the US workforce will work as freelancers, per Upwork and Freelancer Union, though not all of these workers will take part in the gig economy full time.
• By personalizing policies for gig economy workers, insurtechs have been able to tap this opportunity early. 
• A number of other insurtechs, including Slice and UK-based Zego, offer temporary vehicle insurance, which users can switch on and off, depending on when they are working.
• Slice has also developed a new insurance model that combines traditional home insurance with business coverage for temporary use.
• Other freelancers like photojournalists need insurance for their camera, for example, a coverage area that Dinghy has tackled.
• Incumbent insurers have a huge opportunity to leverage their reach and well-known brands to pull in the gig economy and secure a share of this growing segment — and partnering with startups might be the best approach.

 In full, the report:

• Details what the gig economy landscape looks like in different markets.
• Explains how different insurtechs are tackling the gig economy with new personalized policies.
• Highlights possible pain points for incumbents when trying to enter this market.
• Discusses how incumbents can get a piece of the pie by partnering with startups.

This is a preview of a research report from Business Insider Intelligence, Business Insider's premium research service. To learn more about Business Insider Intelligence, click here.

Over the past five years, the world has seen a seemingly unending series of high-profile data breaches, defined as incidents in which unauthorized parties access and retrieve sensitive, secure, or private data.

Major incidents, like the 2013 Yahoo breach, which impacted all 3 million of the tech giant’s customers, and the more recent Equifax breach, which exposed the information of at least 143 million US adults, has kept this risk, and these threats, at the forefront for both businesses and consumers. And businesses have good reason to be concerned — of organizations breached, 22% lost customers, 29% lost revenue, and 23% lost business opportunities.

This threat isn’t going anywhere. Each of the past five years has seen, on average, 1,704 security incidents, impacting nearly 2 billion records. And hackers could be getting more efficient, using new technological tools to extract more data in fewer breach attempts. That’s making the security threat an industry-agnostic for any business holding sensitive data — at this point, virtually all companies — and therefore a necessity for firms to address proactively and prepare to react to.

The majority of breaches come from the outside, when a malicious actor is usually seeking access to records for financial gain, and tend to leverage malware or other software and hardware-related tools to access records. But they can come internally, as well as from accidents perpetrated by employees, like lost or stolen records or devices.

That means that firms need to have a broad-ranging plan in place, focusing on preventing breaches, detecting them quickly, and resolving and responding to them in the best possible way. That involves understanding protectable assets, ensuring compliance, and training employees, but also protecting data, investing in software to understand what normal and abnormal performance looks like, training employees, and building a response plan to mitigate as much damage as possible when the inevitable does occur.

Business Insider Intelligence, Business Insider’s premium research service, has put together a detailed report on the data breach threat, who and what companies need to protect themselves from, and how they can most effectively do so from a technological and organizational perspective.

Here are some key takeaways from the report:

• The breach threat isn’t going anywhere. The number of overall breaches isn’t consistent — it soared from 2013 to 2016, but ticked down slightly last year — but hackers might be becoming better at obtaining more records with less work, which magnifies risk.
• The majority of breaches come from the outside, and leverage software and hardware attacks, like malware, web app attacks, point-of-service (POS) intrusion, and card skimmers.
• Firms need to build a strong front door to prevent as many breaches as possible, but they also need to develop institutional knowledge to detect a breach quickly, and plan for how to resolve and respond to it in order to limit damage — both financial and subjective — as effectively as possible.

In full, the report:

• Explains the scope of the breach threat, by industry and year, and identifies the top attacks.
• Identifies leading perpetrators and causes of breaches.
• Addresses strategies to cope with the threat in three key areas: prevention, detection, and resolution and response.
• Issues recommendations from both a technological and organizational perspective in each of these categories so that companies can avoid the fallout that a data breach can bring.

• President Donald Trump said Sunday he doubts Congress will cut a deal on border-wall funding in the next three weeks, signaling that another government shutdown looms.
• Trump told The Wall Street Journal a second shutdown was "certainly an option," and his administration hinted on Sunday that Trump may seek the wall funding instead by declaring a national emergency.
• Trump also said he likely wouldn't negotiate on the $5.7 billion sum, and he doubted he would offer Democrats a deal to exchange the funding for permanent protections for "Dreamers."

President Donald Trump said Sunday he's skeptical lawmakers can cut a deal on the $5.7 billion in border-wall funding he has demanded, telling The Wall Street Journal in an interview that another government shutdown is "certainly an option."

The longest shutdown in US history ended after 35 days on Friday, after Trump caved and signed a short-term funding bill that included no money for the wall.

The government is funded only until February 15, at which point another shutdown would begin if Trump doesn't sign a subsequent funding bill.

But Trump told The Journal on Sunday that he believed there was less than a 50% chance that a newly convened group of 17 Democrats and Republicans from both the House and Senate would reach an acceptable deal.

"I personally think it's less than 50-50, but you have a lot of very good people on that board," he said.

Trump added that he doubted he would accept anything less than $5.7 billion in wall funding, and he also doubted he would agree to exchange citizenship for so-called "Dreamers," young immigrants brought to the US as children, in exchange for the wall funding.

"That's a separate subject to be taken up at a separate time," he said.

Trump previously tried to exchange protection for Dreamers with the wall, offering Democrats a three-year extension to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. Democrats scoffed at offer, complaining that such protections would only only temporary, and that Trump himself was responsible for the program's termination.

Meanwhile, Democrats appeared equally stubborn on refusing the wall funding, no matter what sweeteners Trump could include in a deal.

"Have I not been clear on a wall?" House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told reporters on Friday. "I've been very clear on the wall."

Trump's capitulation on Friday was widely perceived as a humiliating defeat, after Trump vowed for weeks that he wouldn't reopen the government without the funding. Instead, he walked away empty-handed while Democrats crowed over the victory, leaving doubts that he could secure a deal for his desired funding in just three weeks.

Some of the staunchest conservatives and immigration hardliners came down hard on Trump for backing down on the funding, including the far-right commentator Ann Coulter, who complained vehemently over the weekend that Trump was a "wimp."

Trump told The Journal on Sunday he'd heard about Coulter's rage.

"I hear she's become very hostile," Trump said. "Maybe I didn't return her phone call or something."

The Trump administration has also been hinting heavily in recent days that Trump will seek to bypass Congress for the funding by declaring a national emergency.

"We have been hoping for months to do it through legislation with Democrats because that's the right way for the government to function," Mick Mulvaney, the acting White House chief of staff, told Fox News. "But at the end of the day, the president's commitment is to defend the nation and he will do it either with or without Congress."

NOW WATCH: MSNBC host Chris Hayes thinks President Trump's stance on China is 'not at all crazy'

• Emily Blunt won her first Screen Actors Guild Award Sunday night for "A Quiet Place."
• Both she and husband John Krasinski looked absolutely shocked when her name was announced.
• Blunt dedicated the award to her husband as well, who blew her a sweet kiss from the crowd.

Emily Blunt won her first Screen Actors Guild Award for best supporting actress in "A Quiet Place" Sunday at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. And while she was shocked, her husband John Krasinski had the best reaction. 

As Chris Pine called the 35-year-old actress' name from the stage, Blunt was clearly surprised. She beat out fellow nominees Amy Adams, Margot Robbie, Emma Stone, and Rachel Weisz.

When the camera cut to Krasinski, he looked like a kid on Christmas morning, with his hands covering his mouth before embracing his wife. He also appeared to exclaim, "What!"

Blunt then took the stage to thank and share her award with Krasinski, who directed and co-wrote "A Quiet Place." 

"That truly has completely blown my slicked hair back. Thank you so, so, so much. I’m so moved and completely lost for words and unprepared," said Blunt. "I am going to share this completely with my husband John Krasinski because the entire experience of doing this with you has completely pierced my heart directly."

"You are a stunning filmmaker. I am so lucky to be with you and to have done this film with you," she continued. "Thank you for giving me the part. You would have been in major trouble if you hadn't. So you really didn’t have an option, but thank you."

On "The Graham Norton Show" last year, Blunt said she asked Krasinski if she could sack another actress from the film so she could do it instead.

"When I read the script, I really wanted to do it. John [Krasinski] had already approached another actress — a good friend of mine — so I told him he had to ring her and sack her," Blunt said.

Earlier on Sunday, Krasinski delighted his fans when he tweeted a photo with Blunt and wrote, "Honored to be on the arm of this double nominee tonight!"

• NBC special correspondent Tom Brokaw apologized several times on Sunday for saying "the Hispanics should work harder at assimilation."
• He said on "Meet the Press" that Hispanic immigrants should ensure their children learn English and that "they feel comfortable in their communities."
• The comments were widely criticized and Brokaw issued several apologies on Twitter.

NBC's Tom Brokaw drew swift backlash on Sunday after arguing on "Meet the Press" that "the Hispanics should work harder at assimilation."

The comments came up during a panel discussion on how Americans' varying perceptions of immigrants, immigration, and the necessity of a border wall.

Brokaw began by saying that Americans "on the Republican side" view Hispanic immigrants as people "who will come here and all be Democrats."

He continued: "I hear when I push people a little harder, 'I don't know whether I want brown grand-babies.' I mean, that's also a part of it. It's the inter-marriage that is going on and the cultures that are conflicting with each other. I mean, that's also a part of it. It's the inter-marriage that is going on and the cultures that are conflicting with each other."

Brokaw they offered up his own opinion on Hispanic immigrants, arguing that they should take responsibility for integrating themselves and their children into their communities.

"I also happen to believe that the Hispanics should work harder at assimilation. That's one of the things I've been saying for a long time," he said. "They ought not to be just codified in their communities, but make sure that all their kids are learning to speak English, and that they feel comfortable in their communities, and that's going to take outreach on both sides, frankly."

Another panelist, PBS correspondent Yamiche Alcindor, pushed back on Brokaw's comments at the end of the segment.

"We also need to adjust what we think of as American," she said. "The idea that we think an American can only speak English — as if Spanish and other languages weren't always part of America — is in some ways troubling."

Brokaw took to Twitter later on Sunday and made several attempts at apologies.

His initial remark, saying he felt "terrible a part of my comments on Hispanics offended some members of that proud culture," fell flat.

He tried again several hours later:

NOW WATCH: MSNBC host Chris Hayes thinks President Trump's stance on China is 'not at all crazy'

• Digital trust is the confidence people have in a platform to protect their information and provide a safe environment for them to create and engage with content.
• Business Insider Intelligence surveyed over 1,300 global consumers to evaluate their perception of Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube.
• Consumers’ Digital Trust rankings differ across security, legitimacy, community, user experience, shareability, and relevance for the six major social networks.

If you feel like “fake news” and spammy social media feeds dominate your Internet experience, you’re not alone. Digital trust, the confidence people have in platforms to protect their information and provide a safe environment to create and engage with content, is in jeopardy.

In fact, in a new Business Insider Intelligence survey of more than 1,300 global consumers, over half (54%) said that fake news and scams were "extremely impactful” or “very impactful” on their decision to engage with ads and sponsored content.

For businesses, this distrust has financial ramifications. It’s no longer enough to craft a strong message; brands, marketers, and social platforms need to focus their energy on getting it to consumers in an environment where they are most receptive. When brands reach consumers on platforms that they trust, they enhance their credibility and increase the likelihood of receiving positive audience engagement.

The Digital Trust Report 2018, the latest Enterprise Edge Report from Business Insider Intelligence, compiles this exclusive survey data to analyze consumer perceptions of Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube.

The survey breaks down consumers’ perceptions of social media across six pillars of trust: security, legitimacy, community, user experience, shareability, and relevance. The results? LinkedIn ran away with it.

As the most trusted platform for the second year in a row – and an outlier in the overall survey results – LinkedIn took the top spot for nearly every pillar of trust — and there are a few reasons why:

• LinkedIn continues to benefit from the professional nature of its community — users on the platform tend to be well behaved and have less personal information at risk, which makes for a more trusting environment.
• LinkedIn users are likely more selective and mindful about engagement when interacting within their professional network, which may increase trust in its content.
• Content on LinkedIn is typically published by career-minded individuals and organizations seeking to promote professional interests, and is therefore seen as higher quality than other platforms’. This bodes well for advertisers and publishers to be viewed as forthright, honest, persuasive, and trustworthy.

• "Black Panther" won the biggest award of the night at the 25th annual Screen Actors Guild Awards Sunday night from the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, California.
• The film took home the award for outstanding performance by a cast in a motion picture.
• Star Chadwick Boseman took the stage to give a moving speech about what it's like to be "young, gifted, and black" in Hollywood. He received resounding applause from the audience and from viewers online.

"Black Panther" took home the biggest award of the night at the SAG Awards Sunday night for outstanding performance by a cast in a motion picture. 

After thanking Disney CEO Bob Iger, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige, star Chadwick Boseman gave a long, moving speech about what it's like being "young, gifted, and black" in Hollywood, yet, having a tough time getting cast in roles.

In a nearly four-minute speech, Boseman touched upon the importance of a film like "Black Panther," in which he starred as the superhero in a film with a mostly black cast. The speech was so long he had to talk down the music trying to play him off stage. 

"When I think of going to work every day and the passion and the intelligence, the resolve, the discipline that everybody showed, I also think of two questions that we all have received during the course of multiple publicity runs," started Boseman. 

"One is, did we know that this movie was going to receive this kind of response, meaning, was it going to make billions of dollars, was it going to still be around during this awards season? And, the second question, is, ‘Has it changed the industry? Has it actually changed the way this industry works — how it sees us?’ And my answer to that is, ‘To be young, gifted, and black.'" Boseman said to resounding applause from the audience.

He continued to speak at length about why it was important for himself, Michael B. Jordan, Angela Bassett, and more to go to work each morning to work on Marvel's superhero movie, citing that it felt like they were creating something truly special. His speech started to make star Lupita Nyong'o emotional on stage. 

"All of us up here — Andy [Serkis] we include you too — to be young, gifted, and black we all know what it’s like to be told that there is not a place for you to be featured, yet, you are young, gifted, and black. We know what it’s like to be told to say there’s not a screen for you to be featured on, a stage for you to featured on. We know what it’s like to be the tail and not the head. We know what it’s like to be beneath and not above," Boseman continued, speaking about the hardships he and his cast members have faced in Hollywood.

"And that is what we went to work with every day, because we knew, not that we would be around during awards season or that it would make a billion dollars, but we knew that we had something special that we wanted to give the world, that we could be full human beings in the roles that we were playing, that we could create a world that exemplified a world that we wanted to see," said Boseman. "We knew that we had something that we wanted to give and to come to work with every day and to solve problems with this group of people every day with this director [Ryan Coogler], that is something that I wish all actors would get the opportunity to experience. If you get to experience that, you will be a fulfilled artist."

Boseman wasn't done yet, teasing the "Black Panther" sequel to come.

"The question of, you know, would we be around during awards season, I just have to say, it is a pleasure to be celebrated by you, to be loved by you, and one thing I do know — Did it change the industry? I know that you can’t have a ‘Black Panther’ now without a two on it. So, we love you and we celebrate it," Chadwick concluded as he continued to fight off the music for him to wrap up his speech.

You can watch the full speech below. 

People immediately applauded the speech online. 

Despite getting snapped away at the end of "Avengers: Infinity War," we expect to see Chadwick Boseman, hopefully, back again. Director Ryan Coogler will return to write and direct a sequel to the 2018 movie. According to Variety, production on the film is expected to begin late this year or early 2020.

• President Donald Trump reportedly floated using "military force" in Venezuela to Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham in recent weeks.
• Graham told Axios he cautioned Trump the move could be "problematic."
• The US and several other countries recently recognized opposition leader Juan Guaidó as the legitimate interim president over Nicolas Maduro.
• Speculation has been mounting ever since over the Trump administration's next moves in Venezuela.

President Donald Trump reportedly weighed using the "military option" in Venezuela in recent weeks, Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham told Axios on Sunday.

"He said, 'What do you think about using military force?'" Graham said. "And I said, 'Well, you need to go slow on that, that could be problematic.'"

Speculation has been mounting over the Trump administration's next moves in Venezuela, where the US and several other foreign countries have recognized opposition leader Juan Guaidó as the legitimate interim president over Nicolas Maduro.

The acting White House chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney ,also hinted at the military option on Sunday, telling "Fox News Sunday" that Trump "is looking at this extraordinarily closely."

"I don't think any president of any party who is doing his or her job would be doing the job properly if they took anything off the table," Mulvaney said.

Trump has previously floated the option in public, saying in August 2017 that the US had "many options for Venezuela, including a possible military option."

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo also pushed the United Nations Security Council on Saturday to "pick a side" on Venezuela and support Guaidó's transition until fair elections could be held.

"Now it is time for every other nation to pick a side," Pompeo said. "Either you stand with the forces of freedom, or you're in league with Maduro and his mayhem."

Maduro's tenure as president has seen crisis after crisis play out under his leadership, with food shortages and economic turmoil sparking hyperinflation and starvation, and prompting millions to flee the country.

Maduro was re-elected in May 2018, but critics have accused Venezuela of holding a fraudulent election. Guaidó then declared himself interim president on January 5, with the support of the country's National Assembly.

• Condé Nast International is launching a new B2B publication, Vogue Business.
• It's the company's first centrally developed global title.
• It shows the continued growth of the international arm of the company while Condé Nast in the US contracts.

Condé Nast may be shrinking in the US, but overseas, it’s growing. On January 28, Condé Nast International is launching a B2B publication called Vogue Business, its first centrally developed global title.

The editor is Lauren Indvik, who was head of news and features at Vogue International and previously was editor-in-chief of Fashionista. She reports to Ciara Byrne, director of business development at Condé Nast International. The publication is based in London and has a dedicated editorial staff of six that’s slated to grow to 24 by the end of the year.

Read more:Condé Nast plans to charge advertisers a premium for its digital subscribers, but ad buyers think the idea will flop

“There is a great hunger for a fashion and luxury B2B publication in regards to how it changes not just marketing and sales and retail but the product itself,” Wolfgang Blau, president of Condé Nast International, told Business Insider.

Some of the key points:

It’s B2B. It’s tough out there for consumer outlets, but business media has been a bright spot in publishing.

It’ll be subscription-based. There’s no advertising, at least for now, but the plan is to add a subscription element and adjacent services like research and events as well as another language, Blau said.

It’s starting as a newsletter. The newsletter is a format that’s become popular because it’s associated with engagement overreach. There also will be a website where past newsletters can be found, and a presence on LinkedIn and Instagram.

New publications traditionally are launched in secret, but Vogue Business was tested for eight months under the name Perspectives, growing to 7,000 subscribers.

“The way we developed it is not typical Condé Nast,” Blau said. “When you have these super brands, there’s this risk. But we knew you cannot develop a digital product behind closed doors, which is why we did this with a beta.”

The launch comes as the international arm takes on greater importance relative to its US counterpart, where $120 million in losses in 2017 have taken some of the sheen off the glossy magazine empire. Speculation swirled last year that Anna Wintour, Vogue’s all-powerful longtime editor and also the company’s chief artistic director, was heading for the exit. The company refuted that at the time, saying she was staying “indefinitely.”

Meanwhile, print magazines are still thriving overseas. Blau said Condé Nast International was profitable in 2018 and would make a profit again this year.

The US and international arms historically operated separately but have begun integrating their operations, merging their tech, product, and licensing teams; rolling out a common CMS across all the titles; selling ads together; and sharing editorial content. Condé Nast CEO Bob Sauerberg is stepping down and the company is looking for a new global CEO who will oversee both entities.

Blau said the decision to launch Vogue Business was made by Sauerberg and Jonathan Newhouse, his international counterpart; and the board of Condé Nast parent company Advance. While the title will draw on the expertise of Vogue’s 23 editions around the world, it will notably run independently of the US-based namesake and Wintour. Blau said it was important that Vogue Business be editorially independent and global.

“We want our clients to have clarity of this being a separate and independent team,” he said. “We realize with B2B products the product has to be global. It doesn’t make sense for new global teams to be built in New York necessarily.”

Condé Nast International isn’t done launching new titles, either. There are two new editions of Vogue on the way, in Greece and Hong Kong. Blau said the company also plans to do more conferences and brand licensing.

NOW WATCH: What will happen when Earth's north and south poles flip

This is a preview of a research report from BI Intelligence, Business Insider's premium research service. To learn more about BI Intelligence, click here.

Major logistics providers have long relied on analytics and research teams to make sense of the data they generate from their operations.

But with volumes of data growing, and the insights that can be gleaned becoming increasingly varied and granular, these companies are starting to turn to artificial intelligence (AI) computing techniques, like machine learning, deep learning, and natural language processing, to streamline and automate various processes. These techniques teach computers to parse data in a contextual manner to provide requested information, supply analysis, or trigger an event based on their findings. They are also uniquely well suited to rapidly analyzing huge data sets, and have a wide array of applications in different aspects of supply chain and logistics operations.

AI’s ability to streamline so many supply chain and logistics functions is already delivering a competitive advantage for early adopters by cutting shipping times and costs. A cross-industry study on AI adoption conducted in early 2017 by McKinsey found that early adopters with a proactive AI strategy in the transportation and logistics sector enjoyed profit margins greater than 5%. Meanwhile, respondents in the sector that had not adopted AI were in the red.

However, these crucial benefits have yet to drive widespread adoption. Only 21% of the transportation and logistics firms in McKinsey’s survey had moved beyond the initial testing phase to deploy AI solutions at scale or in a core part of their business. The challenges to AI adoption in the field of supply chain and logistics are numerous and require major capital investments and organizational changes to overcome.

In a new report, BI Intelligence, Business Insider's premium research service, explores the vast impact that AI techniques like machine learning will have on the supply chain and logistics space. We detail the myriad applications for these computational techniques in the industry, and the adoption of those different applications. We also share some examples of companies that have demonstrated success with AI in their supply chain and logistics operations. Lastly, we break down the many factors that are holding organizations back from implementing AI projects and gaining the full benefits of this disruptive technology.

Here are some of the key takeaways from the report:

• The current interest in and early adoption of AI systems is being driven by several key factors, including increased demands from shippers, recent technological breakthroughs, and significant investments in data visibility by the industry’s largest players.
• AI can deliver enormous benefits to supply chain and logistics operations, including cost reductions through reduced redundancies and risk mitigation, improved forecasting, faster deliveries through more optimized routes, improved customer service, and more.
• Legacy players face many substantial obstacles to deploying and reaping the benefits of AI systems, though, including data accessibility and workforce challenges.
• AI adoption in the logistics industry is strongly skewed toward the biggest players, because overcoming these major challenges requires costly investments in updating IT systems and breaking down data silos, as well as hiring expensive teams of data scientists.
• Although AI implementations are unlikely to result in large-scale workforce reductions in the near term, companies still need to develop strategies to address how workers' roles will change as AI systems automate specific functions.

 In full, the report:

• Details the factors driving adoption of AI systems in the supply chain and logistics field.
• Examines the benefits that AI can deliver in reducing costs and shipping times for supply chain and logistics operations.
• Explains the many challenges companies face in implementing AI in their supply chain and logistics operations to reap the benefits of this transformational technology.

Drone technologies continue to improve at a rapid pace and are slowly pushing the unmanned aircraft toward the mainstream. Companies in a variety of industries are now looking to use drones to cut costs, boost efficiencies, and create new revenue streams and business values, such as last-mile retail deliveries.

But regulatory roadblocks are still holding back widespread commercial drone use in most large, developed markets. Many countries still have laws on the books that regulate drones as other aircraft, such as planes or helicopters, and prevent unmanned aircraft from flying beyond a few miles from the operator. That makes laws and regulations arguably the chief determining factor in the development of the commercial drone industry worldwide. 

This new report from Business Insider Intelligence, Business Insider's premium research service, will give a high-level overview of commercial drone regulations around the world. We detail the major changes in global drone regulations over the past year, and show how regulators are working to stay ahead of the nascent, yet valuable devices. In addition, we show how regulatory changes will impact the industry and allow for new enterprise use cases in the next few years.

Here are some of the key takeaways:

• Regulations have helped the US, Europe, and China become the three largest potential markets in the world for commercial drone use.
• In the US, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) governs all commercial and consumer drone use. Meanwhile, a slew of states have their own regulations that companies deploying drones have to navigate through.
• In Europe, the lack of EU-wide drone regulations creates a patchwork of national regulations that resembles the state-level rules in the US.
• In China, the military controls over half of the airspace, confining drones to a small area of the country relative to the US and other nations.
• While on paper several of the regulations in Europe are the same as in the US, many European countries have been far more lenient in granting exemptions to their requirements.
• Commercial drone laws in most of these countries are set to change to allow for more widespread use in the next couple years, helping operators fly their aircraft in new locations and for new use cases.

In full, the report:

• Offers an in-depth overview of the current regulatory landscapes at the national, transnational, and local levels, and discusses how they're shaping the development of the drone industry in several large markets.
• Gives examples of how companies are working with and around these regulations to deploy drones in a manner that government officials find permissible.
• Provides a look at what regulations will change in the coming years, and explains how that will impact companies operating drones.

Good morning! This is the tech news you need to know this Monday.

1. Mark Zuckerberg has tasked Facebook employees with reconfiguring its messaging services WhatsApp, Messenger, and Instagram so users can communicate across the platforms, The New York Times reported. The apps will continue to operate as three standalone platforms but would be unified by an "underlying messaging infrastructure" that includes end-to-end encryption for the entire "family" of Facebook-owned apps.
2. Some lawmakers are already raising concerns about Facebook's plans to merge its messaging apps. California Democratic congressman Ro Khanna was one of the first to comment, suggesting on Twitter that the move raised anti-trust concerns about Facebook's acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp in 2012 and 2014 respectively.
3. YouTube says it will recommend less "borderline" content, or videos that are untruthful in potentially harmful ways. Examples of videos YouTube hopes to promote less often include ones that claim that the Earth is flat or promote phony cures for serious illnesses.
4. Mysterious, non-existent artists racked up thousands of listens on hijacked Spotify playlists. BBC journalist Jonathan Griffin found reports of mysterious unknown bands showing up unexpectedly on people's Spotify playlists. 
5. One of the biggest problems facing the internet is coming from smart, connected devices, said Vint Cerf, Google's chief internet evangelist and a co-creator of the internet. Many of these "internet of things" gadgets, which range from security cameras to self-driving cars to connected thermostats and toasters, have already been shown to have serious software bugs or security flaws.
6. Palm, the brand behind popular PDA-style phones in the early 2000s, has relaunched with a credit-card sized phone. The phone is supposed to act as a companion device to your regular cell that you can more easily use for nights out, workouts, or periods away from your full-fledged smartphone — but our reviewer found it probably makes more sense to buy a smartwatch.
7. Electric scooters like Lime's and Bird's sent more people to two Los Angeles emergency rooms than regular bikes, according to a new study. The most common injuries were fractures, sprains, and head injuries.
8. A YouTube scam reported this week sees scammers pretending to be top YouTube stars and offering gifts. The scam appears to be a fairly typical online phishing scheme, which target individuals to divulge personal information, like credit card and social security numbers.
9. An MIT researcher's startup claims it has technology that will revolutionize e-scooters and save mobility companies money. A startup called Superpedestrian thinks it can fix the problem of abandoned and broken scooters with onboard diagnostic computers and a more rugged design.
10. A Verge reporter used Europe's GDPR privacy rules to download 138GB of his own data from tech giants including Amazon, Facebook, Google, and Apple — and found much it messy and incomprehensible. The reporter found Google's location data particularly difficult to understand without context.
