was just hearing from one of our producers that there was a situation similar to this where the abu dhabi, the company who owned the skyscraper sent drones to take pictures of that particular situation so they could then strategize as to how best to perform the rescue. it is an interesting use of technology in that particular country. here in our country it's good news as we have all been mentioning that they have them tethered. that is fantastic to hear because we were waiting to see what exactly was going to happen. another reminder to our viewers that there is a seven second delay on this particular live shot so rest assured that god forbid anything terrible happens there is a seven second delay on that. it does sound -- let's look at that. >> like many older commercial buildings and residential buildings in new york city the window is open. the windows do not open in the building. they're designed with leed certification and trying to be green. part of that is the way the windows are built to trap in heat and keep it cool they are so thick that one wonders if they would be able to cut

. >> the first was abu dhabi. these were all big show, weren't like 300 seat comedy clubs. 12,000 in london. abu dhabi one of the big surprises because i just had no idea what to expect and then two nights later in the middle of tel aviv israel, they thought ahmed was the greatest thing. and the reception there, i don't know what they kept in the comedy central ad but when i got to the end of the show it got to me. you could hear my voice crack. in front of 5,000 jewish people on their piece two nights before in abu dhabi, same thing, a guy brought up, a christian from texas, how did this happen if as i say in my live show, what it said to me was, we on this planet all have the same concerns, family, food on the table, our kids, a job. so that means we can all joke about the same stuff. >> right. >> so then -- and but the bottom line, what it said to me, was that most of us on this planet are good people and it's the handful of idiots who cause all the problems. >> except for peanut. >> did you call me an idiot? thank you. >> the show airs tomorrow night on comedy central a

sub-saharan africa there are companies in my district baker hughes and halliburton and halliburton is in abu dhabi or dubai. they have moved. they would like to be in their but there is the foreign corruption act and there can be a misinterpretation of that law being applied to the company. to that extent i think there's a great deal of frustration on our side in houston where we would like to see more cooperation. i think in deference to our own corporations if you could give them guidance and what they can do to facilitate more involvement in those countries it would be a great boon. we have no problem with fracking in our state but i'm still saying i think it would be beneficial to the united states and in maintaining that it would keep our influence there. i'm just alarmed at the rise and you guys know i'm right the rise of china and there are. obviously they have almost no restrictions whatsoever and they have no compunction about paying leaders large sums of money in order to facilitate their advantages that -- and with that idea back to my chairman. >> thank you very much. i would like to a

development in particular in subshould hair -- sub sahara africa, there are companies -- haliburton is in abu dhabi or dubai. kind of moved, they would like to be in there but there is, as you know, foreign corruption exact can be some misinterpretation of that law being applied to our own companies. and to that extent, i think there's a great deal of frustration on our side in houston where we would like to see more cooperation and i think in deference to our own corporations, if you could give. the guidance and what they can do to facilitate more of involvement in those countries would be a great boon -- well, texas is almost booming when you have no problem with fracking in our state, but i'm still saying i think it would be beneficial to the united states, and maintaining that would keep our influence there i'm alarmed at the rise and you guys know i'm right -- the rise of china in there. obviously they have almost no restrictions whatsoever, and they know comp punks about paying -- compunction about paying leaded large sums of money in order to facilitate they're advantage. and with that i yie

areas of sport, louis hamilton is the fourth british driver to win two titles after a victory in abu dhabi. he was dubbed the desert jewel. when he crossed the line, hamilton was congratulated over the team radio by none other than prince harry. >> thank you very, very much for making the british public sweat. woo-hoo! world champion. oh, my god, i can't believe it. thank you so much, guys. >> but it was not just the u.k. celebrating sporting success over the weekend. roger federer helped switzerland to the title after beating france's player in a 3-1 victory. he dedicated this win to his follow teammates including stop rorenka who he met on his way to london. the impressive resumÉ includes 17 grand slams and an olympic gold medal in the doubles. >> i love the fed. i think the term fed should refer more to roger federer than to the central bank in the united states. >>> and more on the sporting front. pro athletes have been known to make acrobatic moves but none may be better than this during sunday night's football game between the new york adjacents and the dallas cowboys. odel made this

. >> reporter: greedings from abu dha dhabi, the capital of the united arab emirates. this is actually a coalition of seven emirates run by different royal families. iran is just across the persian gulf and a u.s. nuclear deal with iran that's coming to a head in just three drays is a major, major worry here. as is the us-led -- that is seen as an es sis citizen shall threat here in the uae. i started by asking him about the uae efforts against isis. >> they're tryings to hijack our religious. it's not about them not liking other religions, no, they don't like our religion. they don't like the way we practice our islam. they would like to force their interpretation of islam on our values, on our countries, on our families. >> theis enough being zone to ft isis? >> we cannot get rid of isis if the situation is syria is not dealt with in the proper manner. and that's -- i mean that's a trajs, seeing over 200,000 syrians slaughtered, almost 10 million syrians either are refugees or displaced. >> reporter: you're taking a leadership role obviously on the fight goengs extre

qatar, abu dhabi, kuwait and saudi, maybe opec 12 doesn't matter any more.y opec 4 and opec 1 which is saudi. it's up to them at this stage. how much pain do they want to take after a 40% drop in prices. >> you talk about the prospect for more m&a activity. a lot of oil companies will need to merge to combine some of their activities to shoulder lower prices in oil. we saw halliburton and baker hughes announce a deal. halliburton down 11% which has taken down the value of baker hughes because it's a part stop deal. i wonder if you think some of the deals announced would be in, not crisis mode but would be under pressure by some of these prices. where else in the energy complex do you think they'll see similar pressure to do deals? >> i think we are going through unprecedented market conditions. this is a big change after many years of opec trying to act with the prices. now we are seeing a totally different market where the swing in prices could be $50, $60 on a forward basis. this is going to lead to a rethinking of the way people operate in the industry. s

i guess halliburton now technically is in abu dhabi or dubai, kind of moved, they would like to be in there, but there is, as you know, a foreign corruption act, and there can be some misinterpretation of that law being applied to our own companies. and to that extent, i think there's a great deal of frustration on our side, in houston, where we would like to see more cooperation, and i think in deference to our own corporations, if you could give them guidance, in what they can do to facilitate more involvement to those countries would be a great boom -- well, texas is already booming. we have no problem with fracking in our state, but i'm still saying, i think it would be beneficial to the united states, and maintaining that would keep our influence there. but i'm just alarmed at the rise, and you guys know i'm right, about the rise of china in there. and obviously, they have almost no restrictions whatsoever. and they have no compunction about paying leaders large sums of money in order to facilitate their advantages. and with that, i yield back to my chairman now. >> thank you ver
