will the uae be such a great market for rolls-royce next year? what about russia? >> we are watching russia what happens to that market is important for us. early days and maybe too early to make the forecast. on the other side is very hard for the market to forecast in russia this year. >> it is not just geographic spots that could challenge rolls-royce in the next year, you have to look at the other carmakers. everybody sees the high income bracket is the bracket to target. bradley coming out with the most expensive suv ever. they got rid of my voc as a brand -- maibach as a brand but they are gunning for some of that fund that rolls-royce has been enjoying. >> we will be speaking to the man himself, the chief executive officer of rolls-royce a little bit later. time in london 6:13. what a start, the selloff continues and we will take a look at the things driving the market. ♪ >> >> welcome back to "countdown ." near the number of $1 trillion in a couple trading days i talked to you about yen rising and gold. there is a man to put it all in perspective, the city

we have an agreement with food quest to do up to 50 restaurants over the next seven years in the uae came to us. they were kind of brand followers for a long time and we had discussions with them and felt that they shared a lot of the same values that we did. they had infrastructure in place and were committed to be a great partner and we really look forward to that new opportunity with them. >> we have seen consumers shift to fresh and organic food. do you think that appeal to that health conscious customer without inflating their costs, how do you, i guess, capture that trend going forward for your restaurant chain? >> yeah the consumer you know has definitely migrated the palate here in america certainly is looking for higher quality, higher flavor profiles made to order. they're willing to pay a little bit more but that certainly mays well into the habit and you know a lot of the other fast casual brands that you mentioned earlier. >> all right. we're going to leave it there. ceo of habit restaurants. the stock down about 25% over the past one month. >> i have to say all of that h

you have a lot of hostility between saudi arabia and the uae against the family in qatar and whose siderge of qatar. and you have the president of egypt that has done anything else and he's been arrested and imprisoned and the whole legion and hundreds and those that took advantage of the allegiance against mubarak, so what kind of encouragement is the united states giving people like this? zero. went to a university and told them at ali jar, knock it off. you are making the whole world fear and hate us muslims. knock it off and start reversing it. we'll see how it goes. but he's essentially marked his whole family for death with this. and we don't have the support here and we don't have the trained and motivated in the state or intelligence community or d.o.d. is something we are elevated with. it is a high-impact army and it shouldn't belong in army cyber cyber-on and many are motivated that way because they trained themselves in learning about the ideology. and mainly in the special operations area, but not at the national strat eck level and certainly we don't have like the mayor of

if you recall there is it's called the one two three agreement with the uae which allows them to havehat says they can enrich at least some undetermined amount of uranium. that sends all of our allies into the rafters. that's why saudi arabia is so concerned. then you see the expansion of activity by the quds force. they are concerned. >> if you were still a military planner, colonel reese, what would you be doing about the americans who are in yemen right now? >> well, we have talked about it for the last two days now. there's a critical task list and critical personnel list in the embassy. they have started doing those evacuations. that's what i would do get everyone out that's not critical and has to be there to keep the operations of the embassy going. then from there, it's a minute by minute decision by the planners by the regional security officer, to make that decision. again, i don't think we are in a panic mode right now. i think we've got the boats off the coast, we can react very quickly. i think we are in good shape. >> what about the yemenis who helped the united states o

first would be fresh comments from the uae oil minister saying this oversupply could certainly last forso saying that pricesing recover if non-opec producers act rationally. so shifting the blame here to the non-opec producers. meantime china gdp for the fourth quarter could be 7.2%. we haven't seen that since 2009. so that could bring some downside to this market as well because everyone is concerned about china's growth and demand for oil. meantime, we are awaiting the department of energy report. the inventories at crude at 10:30. the api last night reported a 4 million barrel draw. that's also why we're getting a pop today, carl. back to you. >> all right, jackie. we'll come back to you later on. we have more details on the deadly shooting in paris this morning. our michelle caruso-cabrera is back at hq. >> richard esposito has a security source updating him from the scene in paris. here's new details that we're learning. three suspects arrived at the headquarters of the satirical magazine "charlie hebdo." so three suspects. one stayed in the vehicle. the other two entered the build

of course, sunni arab states like saudi arabia, egypt and the uae likely will not countenance such a radical imbalance of power with the shia persian rifle. they would likely seek nuclear weapons of their own and they have the means to acquire them. once that occurs nuclear proliferation to terrorist becomes all the more likely. not to mention the risk of radical islamist revolution in an unstable nuclear region. the consequences, quite literally, our apocalyptic. future generations may therefore if you what happened in geneva as we have viewed me for the last 75 years. what made this moment worse though the west sent hitler -- president obama to pitch related it in geneva. even though the united states was in a position of strength, keeping the sanctions regime in place at the time but one can only imagine the thinking behind this grievous, historic mistake. we need a shift in policy toward iran. to a clear eyed and hard-nosed policy of strength based on america's interest and the threat posed by iran. first, the goal of our policy must be clear. regime change and iran. we cannot and

of course, sunni arab states like saudi arabia egypt and the uae likely will not countenance such a radical imbalance of power with their shia persian rival. they would likely seek weapons of their own and have the means to acquire them. once that happens, becomes all the more likely. not to mention the risk of radical islamist revolution in an unstable nuclear region. the consequences, quite literally are apocalyptic. future generations may therefore view what happened in geneva as we have viewed eded munich for the last 74 years. what made this moment worse though, the west appeased hitler at munich out of fear and weakness. president obama capitulated at geneva even though the united states was in a position of strength. one can only imagine the thinking behind this grievous, historic mistake. we thus need a shift in policy toward iran. to a clear-eyed and hard-nosed policy of strength based on america's interest and the threat posed by iran. first, the goal of our policy must be clear. regime change in iran. we cannot and will not be safe as long as islamist despots rule in iran. it sho

we are about to take it to the uae. where we do intensive we do general business training and then we take a smaller group, and do coaching for those businesses, and then finally we take a smaller group again and over a year give them business incubation and support. for example in lebanon we did our first project there with 60 -- 40 women, we managed to create over that year 60 new jobs. i think ecosystems are important. i think you have a point about that. how do we encourage entrepreneurship? i'm not sure that the developing world is not full of entrepreneurs. i think it is full of entrepreneurs it's just often it's not acknowledged that what the market women are doing what the people in the informal economy, what the woman who is baking cakes not just for herself, but for her neighbors and her friends, or the hairdresser, they actually are entrepreneurs as no one's ever told them that that's what they do. and no one has ever helped them to be able to see that actually they could do that not just for the people they

we have done a lot in israel and in lebanon, about to take it to the uae we do general business trainingd we take a smaller group and do coaching and then finally taking a smaller group again and over a year give them business incubation and support. for example, in lebanon we did a project there with 60 -- with 40 women we managed to create over that year 60 new jobs. so i think eco-systems are important. i think you have a point about that. it is just not acknowledged that the woman who is baking cakes for herself or her neighbors or friends or the hairdresser. they are all entrepreneurs but no one has told them what they do and no one has helped them to be able to see they could do that not just for the people they know but for a wider community which is why the facebook opportunity, which helps women to use facebook, to get friends virtually who become their customers has been such a success. >> i'm take a brief explanation on the macro. first of all, the macro, there is a sea change over the past couple of years where transparency is so much more in the forefront of business governm
