• Uber bad news. This has been quite a week for Uber news. As you may recall, the company already announced two big female hires—and confirmed that an outside investigation into HR complaints led to the termination of more than 20 people. Now, multiple reports are saying that Eric Alexander, then Uber's president of business in Asia-Pacific, obtained the medical records of a woman who had been raped during a ride in India—then showed them to other execs, including CEO Travis Kalanick.

The driver in question was arrested and ultimately sentenced to life in prison, and the company has been publicly apologetic. However, Recode's sources say Alexander doubted the veracity of the woman's story and after looking at the records, he—and the other executives who viewed them—suggested that Ola, Uber's prime competitor in India, was behind the incident.

Alexander's handling of the situation is among 215 Uber-related claims two law firms are currently investigating. While Uber previously said that Alexander is not among the 20-plus people fired as a result of those investigations, Recode says that, as of yesterday, the company confirmed that he is no longer employed by the ride-hailing startup.

These reports are even more chilling than the ones alleging rampant sexual harassment and discrimination at Uber. They suggest a company that gives barely a moment's thought to the safety of its customers—and one that is willing to violate the rights and privacy of a rape victim in order to squash a perceived threat to the business. If true, it's difficult to believe that any number of impressive new female hires will be enough to redeem the company in the eyes of some customers. Recode

• May's fate up in the air. Voting is underway in a U.K. snap election, which was called for in April by Theresa May. The British PM had hoped to grow her parliamentary majority and secure her Conservative vision for Brexit. At the time of the decision, the contest looked like a sure bet. Last-minute polls still put her Conservative party ahead of Jeremy Corbyn's Labour party, but by a much narrower margin than anticipated. Polls close at 5 pm EST; projections are expected to come shortly afterward.  Bloomberg
