. >> jim dolan talked to the brave men who jumped in to save them. >> reporter: med dibs bundled up seven very lucky young boys and packed them off to the hospital. seven kids, all of whom survived because twos young tourists risked their own lives in the icy water of the central park pond to save them. >> i grabbed a backpack. i didn't even know if he was still attached to the backpack. i swam out. the water was, i was under my head and i grabbed the backpack and i could feel there was a body on it. >> reporter: they saw the boys thrashing in the water and went in. jonas got the two the closest to the shore first. >> i turned around and there were still five more. i grabbed the ladder and the first two and pulled the ladder out. the last two, the one kid i could see in the way back i knew i couldn't get to. >> reporter: somehow in that frigid water, jonas did get to him. we pulled the body up on shore. he was -- he was -- if i didn't grab him a second later, he was gone. he was barely breathing. >> reporter: in time it, fdny divers arrived and spent an hour searching the pond to make sur

conversely, with jim dolan and the next, it was just a very bad situation -- with jim dylan and the knicksat should not have happened. it is difficult to say exactly what should have happened once the confrontation began. but i know that these are kinds of things you were to avoid, and you work by building relationships so that never happens. i got the two of them to sit down together. they were this close to each other talking. they were able to talk about how they were feeling about the situation and move towards reconciliation. michael jordan joined us. he is now an owner and a former teammate and close friend of charles oakley. he did an excellent job as a mediator to help each other see the issues. jim dolan invited charles oakley to come to a game at madison square garden. i spoke to charles about doing additional things with the league around the united states and around the world, just building back the relationship. the new york fans love him. so it is but getting him back out there and being part of the nba family. >> you feel like it is resolved? >> well, it is one of these thin

in central park, jim dolan for abc news. >> coming up, the real life hidden figure who broke barriersof women to follow. >> that's right. we're taking a closer look at a very inspirational woman straight ahead on "world news now." i'm dragging. yeah, that stuff only lasts a few hours. or, take mucinex. one pill fights congestion for 12 hours. no thank you very much, she's gonna stick with the short-term stuff. 12 hours? guess i won't be seeing you for a while. is that a bisque? i just lost my appetite. why take medicines that only last 4 hours, when just one mucinex lasts 12 hours? start the relief. ditch the misery. let's end this. they don't help single moms. hi. hi. what happened to our house last year? it flooded. and the water flooded out. yeah. the red cross arranged the hotel for us. they gave me that break, that leverage, to be able to get it together and... take care of them, you know? i feel like we've come full circle. like that! this is how i'll do it. sarah: there you go. >>> welcome back as we count down to the oscars. we're honoring a real-life hidden figure. >> yeah, r

madison square garden last night after he scuffled with security, this after yelling at knicks owner jim dolane knicks/clippers game. he was taken away in handcuffs and charged with assault. the knicks released a statement saying they hope he gets help soon. that's your "cnbc news update" at this hour. back to you, sara. >> courtney reagan. courtney, thank you. >>> we are counting down now to the close in the uk and across europe. let's get to seema mody, where it looks like we've got a rally following in our footsteps there. >> exactly right, u.s. stocks hitting record highs and the european broader market on track for a third straight day of gains. the conversation shifting from politics to earnings and the health of european corporates, starting with france's socgen. earnings beating expectations. operating income more than doubled, helped in part by lower provisions for bad loans. another french company, sanofi, also up sharply. the drugmaker and its partner, regeneron, won a stay of an order that would have blocked the two companies from selling their cholesterol drug in the u.s. now, sal

the one risk, you're investing with jim dolan who does have a certain mercurial aspect to him. he also owns at least $20 million by my count, dollars worth of the shares and is not going to let that get decreased in value. so that's a risky would be willing to take. >> you're betting, as well, steve with a guy like abely, too. he's owned this stock. >> forever. forever. it is a value play. >> dolan is good enough for gabelli, got to be good enough for lebenthal, no? >> i like gabelli. a smart investor. >> this is what mario does. >> good endorsement. absolutely a good endorsement. >> this is what mario does. wait out dole -- terrible stuard of the franchise. knicks have been horrendous. the thing about oakley, that was not a fragrant foul, it was below the head. so he should still be in. so -- >> one quick comment. the knicks have been terrible for a long time. imagine if they actually got good. i'm not a basketball expert, i don't know what it takes to make that happen. do you think the knicks -- >> don't sign any carmelos -- >> josh, you buy madison square garden stock? >> no

. >> you have any advice for jim dolan? it's a publicly traded company.ld he be doing today? >> i think he'll probably start through the legal process, whatever that looks like, as will charles oakley. as an owner in the game, i'd like to see things move forward appropriately, but also amicably. >> okay. tell me about government transparency and how you're going to achieve it. >> well, we started work on a project, usa facts, about two years ago. my wife got me ginned up as we were talking about our philanthropy, to really understand the biggest philanthropy in the world, which is the u.s. government. it occurred to me as i started probing around the internet that if you really want to understand where the revenue comes into government, where the money gets spent, and probably as importantly, what outcomes government achieves, not just the federal government, but state and local, it's really hard to figure it out. i went looking for something like a business 10k that put that all together so i could come back to my wife and really explain what the governm

jim. what is it? >> charles oakley has been left out by owner james dolan of the 70th year of the anniversary of the teamas a great player for 10 years and they had terrific success. he tried to get a meeting with dolan. he showed up last night and sat a few rows behind and it led to this. you cannot push people. you can't shove people and can't behave in the fashion that oakley did. however, he feels as though he is an aggrieved party. a horrible look for the new york knicks. to release that statement and that last line we hope he gets the help he needs soon. that's ridiculous. that indicates that there is something wrong with the guy, either he has some sort of issue that none of us know about, but that's nothing to put out into the public particularly if it's not true. >> bill: do you know what oakley may have been saying or may have directed toward dolan last night that led to this? >> according to oakley, nothing. according to some of the fans who were around, apparently he had some words to say about james dolan. he said these things publicly. the knicks have had terrific trouble and been dysfuncti
