the uae is a federation. david: the united arab emirates. khaldoon: the united arab emirates is a federation of seven emirates, seven states. abu dhabi is the largest. dubai being one of the most famous. the federation was formed in 1971. the father of the nation passed away several years ago, but he was the founder and he established the federation. we have a population of 10 million overall. we have a wealth of resources, particularly in the oil and gas field. that has been the foundation of the economic development. the oil and the gas is not going to be here for the next thousand years. it is finite, and we have to prepare ourselves for the future. the leadership of this country has focused on maximizing the benefits and returns from this resource, but at the same time built a diverse vocation strategy, preparing ourselves for the future. that's what you have in the uae today. david: your economy now is dependent on oil. if it 50% of your economy, 70%, 80%? khaldoon: so, many years ago, oil represented about 70% to 80% of the gdp of the

khaldoon: nobody had any idea about abu dhabi, the uae. second, the pronunciation of my name, i had a difficult name. the pronunciation in english is challenged by most friends in the united states, so i struggled with my name because people could not pronounce it. i became known as khaldoon. it is my american name. david: but you pronounce it another way. you can do that in yiddish, but not so much in arabic. khaldoon: i found that out. david: you have opened a museum. khaldoon: yes, it is beautiful. the art collection is remarkable. i think there is a bigger story. we are trying to push out of the uae a message of tolerance. ♪ david: you come back after college and you are looking for a job, and what did you do after college? khaldoon: back then you go back to abu dhabi and you are a u.s. gradua graduate. you are going to have essentially two options. you can work in oil and gas or the investment field. i interviewed for both and had an offer for both. i decided to start at the national oil company. i worked there for a couple of years,

the uae foreign minister rejected the accusation.lly said we had nothing to do with the whole episode and i think, you know, five — six month down the road the qatari have not shown is anything to prove it. president donald trump weighed in to an already tense situation. in a series of tweets, he attacked qatar. referring to his recent trip to saudi arabia he said that, at least all the pomp and ceremony, the king had promised to tackle the funding of extremists. —— among. the finger was pointing squarely at qatar. trump's support for the saudi only made the crisis worse. qatar's neighbours then move to isolate it. air, land and sea routes were either closed or disrupted. economic impact ona closed or disrupted. economic impact on a small gulf state sandwiched between hostile neighbours was initially devastating. diplomatic and business ties were cut and qataris were told to leave saudi arabia, the uae and bahrain. while president trump was tweeting, there was another computer hacker, this time the target was the uae. a group called

e—mails embarrassing to both qatar and the uae have been released in recent months.he gulf drop to such a low point? the gulf crisis did not come out of the blue. qatar and its gulf neighbours have been at odds for years over a series of issues, amongst them, qatar's working relationship with iran and its support for some groups active in the arab uprisings of 2011, like the controversial muslim brotherhood in egypt. the qatari station, aljazeera, was a prominent broadcaster of the arab spring. managing director giles trendle believes their coverage was a cause of the current coverage. aljazeera was on the street, it was listening to the people, we were reporting on these events as they were taking place and i think there are some regimes tha found that to be threatening and disruptive and i think the forces of change, the popular demands were a threat to some regimes and i think it is maybe now payback time. now those tensions were being played out in a battle of words and pictures on the region's main satellite tv stations. the saudi funded station, al arabiya, cla

uae got two that come into completion.you believe they will fire a missile or rocket at a power plant. of course they would. they fired a missile at the riyadh airport in saudi arabia. we have got to get our act together stand up against the iranians. this administration wanted to lead that effort. >> dana: tell me about russia and syria. u.s. deputy saying that russia is not uphold its commitment. it should work the syrian regime to stop the violence. what is russia doing there? >> we cannot trust russia. evidence is really clear because of syria. they have broken every cease-fire agreement that they have charted in syria. last year, secretary tillerson and foreign minister lavrov made a deal that they will deescalation zone in southern syria. there will be no combat operations conducted there as a result of it. that would reduce the amount humanitarian crisis. for the last two and a half months, proregime force iranian proxies and russian arab powers have been conducting a marriage campaign in that zone. if we think we'l

the trump administration's aims here are to get opec, saudi arabia, the uae and a couple of other producersroduction capacity. briefly, some experts are saying higher oil prices are a bigger threat to the united states than the ta riffs threat to the united states than the tariffs and trade war with china. what's your view on this? well, high oil prices helped us reduces and exporters and that is somewhat offsetting. i don't think anybody really understands how disruptive a trade war would be —— helps us producers. vr is moving beyond the gaming genre. in asia more and more companies are using vr and augmented reality. it is trying to get consumers to interact and engage more closely with the company's products. next in our series on the experience economy, china correspondent stephen mcdonell looks at how the virtual world is catching on in the business world. right now, virtual reality is very limited but i hope they'll be more competition and more people to enlighten this market. —— there'll be. these people are fighting zombies, at least in their virtual world. and you can see how physi

the uae trade increased to $2.7 billion during this. -- this period. the regional outlook for the gcc i think is very mixed. risk premium has raised considerably. oil prices are reflecting that anxiety, providing short-term gain into growth for investors. the medium-term outlook is less clear. this points to a potential decline in gdp. for gcc oil exporters, they are moving into fiscal surplus this year. this means weakening the momentum for economic reform. i do not think it is the rising comfort with higher oil revenue that increases the risk of confrontation between saudi arabia, the uae and iran. the displacement of markets is just one area of economic cooperation between saudi, opec and the u.s. this should not be seen as a quick fix. it is not just iran that affects oil markets. we're dealing with production prices in other places like venezuela and libya. the other thing is respect to transit points. some would argue that their supporterse iranian in yemen. 30% of global seaborne oil rose through the street. so does 11% of rice. 18% of rice is t

now that they have been reimposed in an area where the uae -- you we has specifically asked the u.s. to refrain i , even wheners along the u.s. does not want to impose secondary sanctions the ua might agree with, we could up problems freeing them along even when our goals are the same. deal have imperiled the and shot ourselves in the foot when it comes to using sanctions down the road. want to ask you, if we take it at face value, there has been of we are going to bring them back to the table. i don't know how credible that is given how difficult it will be to reestablish those sanctions. as far as theink administration strategy or elements within the administration goes, what do they want here? >> they want capitulation. plain and simple. they want regime change. just by different means this time than during the george w. bush administration. make no mistake, it is less than honest to assert anything other than they are trying to collapse the iranian economy. they are trying to overthrow the iranian.0 government. they don't care about the iranian people. the sanctions disproportion

involved a currency exchange going through the uae. we worked very closely and very well with this government -- with the emirates government to shut it down. is no wonder that international banks and firms refused to enter the iranian financial system. the iranian people are rightly frustrated with the regime. expressing their frustration in nationwide protests and smaller acts of defiance about the country. the regime continues to crack down on these legitimate calls for reform with more all oppression and -- with more oppression and even greater violence. the united states stands with the iranian people. since withdrawing from the iran has, the united states sanctioned 53 individuals and entities for human rights abuses, or acts of terrorism, and we will continue to do so. we designate the head of the weiciary, which demonstrates will target those responsible for human rights abuses at the highest levels of the iranian government. rich a history and as deep a culture as the iranian people deserve a government that treats them with d

saudi arabia and the uae are pushing for a confrontation with but also as a way to increase leverage with the u.s. in oil markets as they need the u.s. to back any escalation in the region. the u.s. needs cooperation with oil markets which places major producers in an interesting position vis-a-vis u.s. policy on iran. is cornered, isolated, and its economy will suffer in ways we have seen under previous sanction regimes. i will share evidence. i believe this time is different. american choice will punish allies in europe, exacerbate and givewithin the gcc china, and arguably russia and turkey more power within financial flows and new financial institutions. sanctions to be reimposed in august will hurt the trade sector most in construction materials, aluminum, and deal, and large currency transactions. we're seeing preemptive corporate exits from iran from asian and european firms. the oil and gas sector along with shipping will be most affected, sanctions on november 4. most affected will be transactions by foreign financial institutions. the fissures will be transatlantic. saudi a

if iran tries to blockade strait of hormuz, we have pipelines in saudi arabia and uae that could handle that supply. your reaction final question, to the idea that conservatives are saying, who -- you knows president trump has been called treasonnist. then the conservatives say, wait, president obama, that white house gaves there ar $56 n who is responsible for killing hundreds of dip platt diplomatsd soldiers since revolution in 1979. >> this is is absurdity. the obama administration coddled iran for 8 years, as expense of all sunni arabs in the region, and expec expense of our natural interest. if iran tried to block the straights of hormuz, that is not going to happen. other thing, is that 19 sit zero present. iran has been killing us. and no president has stood against him, they have proxies, blowing up two emcees, one -- embassies, one in iran and one in kuwait, and bombed barracks. they have been at this for years. and finally, finally we have a president that is willing to call them out on this push back against their maligned behavior. he working right now, it will become public

then you have other countries like switzerland and the uae and the middle east who have been open to cryptocurrencies there's a lot of uncertainty on the global stage, that's knocking confidence in the space. you mentioned 800 cryptocurrencies have died those projects known as initial coin offerings, they have not lived up to the promise and they're out of the market. is bitcoin dead? who knows, there's still a lot of optimism in the market that the problems can be fixed and more investors can get involved. >> thank you see you soon. >>> let's talk more about the cryptocurrency markets first off, the headline for me was not that 800 cryptocurrencies have failed or are worth less, it's that there were 800 the market got stupid. you have to admit. some of these should have never existed. >> yeah. let's take a step back and look at what happened the market was overheated. bitcoin was trading at a 2500 handle then it rallied to 20,000. it went up eight fold within the span of six months >> there were more coin-base accounts than e-trade accounts >> speculation were driving prices, prices

pompeo will meet with the president in brussels after wrapping up his asia tour, he just met with the uaegn minister and abu dabi's crown prince. before making it to afghanistan, pompeo was hard at work in north korea, despite tough talks from the rogue nation, president trump remains optimistic about denuclearization. the president tweeting, quote, i have confidence that kim jong un will hon or the contract we signed and even more importantly our handshake, we agree today denuclearization of north korea, china on the other hand, may be exerting negative pressure on a deal because of our poster on chinese trade, hope not, north korea is accusing the u.s. of making gangster-like demands during recent denuclearization talks. rob: deadline day for trump administration to reunite nearly 100 illegal immigrant children under the age of 5 with their families. justice department attorney says 54 of them will join parents by tend of the day. the remaining children are either undergoing background checks or have parents that are deported or unfit to take their kids back. this comes as the federal j

but the uae connection could expand humanlmueller's investig.er has been cooperating with investigators. perhaps the biggest question is what if anything mueller has in store for president trump. including whether he obstructed justice. >> i think that really that obstruction piece will be the final element of this. and that what we'll more likely see is sort of these dots being connected. >> reporter: looming large is whether the special counsel will demand a sitdown interview with president trump himself. >> i've always wanted to do an interview because, look, there has been no collusion. >> reporter: for now mr. trump's attorney rudy giuliani says any interview is still under negotiation. >> i think he shouldn't. i know how convinced he is that he didn't do anything wrong and wants to explain it and i've seen other people get into trouble thinking that, innocent people. >> reporter: it should be clear none of the charges that manafort faces so far involve cooperation, conspiracy or collusion with the russians. he did however work for years fo

so far, only norway and the uae are above that number. we get a good return on this. he can tell you how me friends america had just because of that program. i can give you other examples. as long as we are strong, people will always disagree with foreign policy decisions we make, but they need to know we are on their side. that is my advice. i think we should invest money, and one big problem we have got that all of you can correct, the average person thinks we spend 15% of the budget on foreign assistance, and it is more like 1% of the budget and well under 1% of gdp. if everyone in america knew the facts, it would be easier to do good. ms. streett: thank you. our next -- pres. clinton: one last thing. [laughter] pres. clinton: you don't want to give the future to the country's that are great at aggregating capital because they are not democracies. a railroad across africa. i'm glad they did it but do you really want to say, we are going to have a big military but we are not going to help anybody build their own future in change their lives? i don't think so. so i t

hard on cryptocurrency trading then on the other hand you have some countries like switzerland and the uae who are more open to cryptocurrencies as a whole. there have not been the new financial products in the market that many expected we are talking about cryptocurrency etfs and bitcoin etfs last year those have not materialized. futures came on to the market last year and there was little demand for that product. that huge institutional investor investment has not hit the market and there's not been a lot of good news in the market all those factors added together >> yet we're seeing a bit of a rebound now. where is the optimism coming from as of late? >> there's a couple things there's people buying on the dip. that traditional method of finding value when the price drops. that's one element of it i think there's a few more noises around regulators opening up a bit more to cryptocurrencies perhaps bringing in more regulation which is sometimes seen as bad. for a wider community it is a good thing the etf is another question that could be approved this year. people are still hanging on

allies like saudi arabia and the uae are big fans of. but the president was explaining his hope for something like that like this. >> i believe in meeting i would certainly meet with iran if they wanted to meet. i don't know at that they are ready yet. they are having a hard time right now. i don't do that from strength or from weakness. i think it is an appropriate thing to do. if we could work something out that's meaningful, not the waste of paper that the other deal was, i would certainly be willing to meet. >> do you have preconditions for that meeting. >> no preconditions, no. if they want to meet, i'll meet. >> so you see there erica a very different tone than what the president was communicating on twitter just in recent days. and he now sounds open to sitting down with the leader of iran, no preconditions set for that meeting, as there were no preconditions set for his meeting with the russian president vladimir putin or for the north korean dictator even though the state department says that iran is the leading state sponsor of

it's something we've been following certainly here in the middle east and the uae in particular the lastal days the continuing relationship with china and gulf arab countries and china and iran we understand that the iranians got arranged the sanctions last time it looks likely that could happen again >> thank you, hadley gamble. pleasure see you soon. >>> let's get a check of the other headlines with philip mena >>> brian, good morning. chaos unfolded after a gunman opened fire in a busy area of downtown toronto killing one woman and injuring others the gunman died after a shootout with police. the man with a handgun stormed this popular neighborhood of greektown at 10:00 p.m. sunday night while many were out and about at restaurants and shops there. investigators say there was no clear motive but they've not ruled out terrorism. ritz crackers is recalling a dozen products due to salmonella concerns the manufacturer says this precaution is not the result of any known illness. this voluntary recall affects ritz products that may contain whey powder. >>> more than 200 lumberjacks and jill

joined is this in sordid scandal where the trump associate who was representing the government of the uae e-mails hacked. he has sued michael flynn's new partner 234 court, accusing him of being involved in the hacking. so michael flynn is in some sense jumped out of the pan into the fire. >> among the clients right now, a candidateialbania. ron, to you, for michael flynn right now, what is going on here? what is he trying to accomplish here? >> only the best people. i mean, you listen to matt describe the situation, that phrase comes back. what he is trying to do is move on with his life. but he pled guilty of lying to government investigators. he had, as part of what he pled down from, charges that he had been an undisclosed foreign agent while he was the principal national security advisor to the president of the united states. in any other administration, in the history of the united states, this would have been the worst scandal any president had ever seen, and is just one more data point on a long line of horrible data points. >> you talk about the president saying he only hires the

the tweet came out of nowhere, the all-caps tweet about iran, i thought okay, next summit will be in uaes foreign policy, that stage craft. we know how much he battles that personal rapport. it was interesting that he seized upon a mundane comment from tehran -- >> mother of all wars. >> which is something they say a lot. but he decided to inflame this. that's no question he will be -- his conduct in these summits and what he may have given away, the legitimacy that he may have given to kim jong-un and vladamir putin, we still don't know what was given away in that one on one meeting. what democrats have, there are so many lanes that you could run if you're donald trump, you have to be smart. this is one of those. but you have to do it effectively. >> it is classic to give away secrets to the president of russia, to be at odds with your national security officials. how do democrats turn this to their advantage? >> he's the quintessential wizard of oz. he blusters but he's masking weakness. he has these summits, where he likes to play on the world stage. but anyone can get a good deal wit

he was just in the uae where he signed a bunch of agreements and deals. now he's in africa.oing to rwanda the first time a chinese president has visited. and he is really investing time and money in relationships with countries that he doesn't criticize. so the media around his visits is positive. and potentially trying to pull countries closer to beijing and away from the united states. >> sam, we packed a lot in there. good information. thank you so much. coming up, candid camera. shocking expose involving an uber and lyft driver who live stream footage after his passengers without them ever knowing. when i received the diagnoses, i knew at that exact moment ... i'm beating this. my main focus was to find a team of doctors. it's not just picking a surgeon, it's picking the care team and feeling secure in where you are. visit cancercenter.com/breast you always get the lowest price on our rooms, guaranteed?m let's get someone to say it with a really low voice. carl? lowest price guaranteed. what about the world's lowest limbo stick? how low can you go? nice one, carl. hey i'

it goes deep into some of the geopolitical cross currents between the uae and qatar and the sort of layers that the special counsel has peeled off, and that's the practice of selling access to this white house and this president. can you pull that thread through for us? >> yeah, absolutely, nicolle. one of the things that you just alluded to, that these payments came even as rick gates was emerging as a key figure in mueller's investigation and investigation of congressional committees looking into connections between trump and russia, it is notable. because in past administrations, as you know, when there was someone who was ahanger-on, or even an insider, the white house and administration and people around the white house went to great lengths to keep that person away from the inner circle. and here you have rick gates, not only continuing to have access, but selling his access to other people who presumably would have their own access here, which raises a second question here about why elliott broidy and tom baric would be paying. so some of the trump insiders thought they were maybe t

uae article also alleges s harassment at its famed program, "60 minus," and said that its executive producer, jeff fager, allowed it to go on there and at cbs news. moonves has denied any assault, and said he never misused hispo tion to harm anyone's career. cbs said there had been no misconduct claims or settlements against moonves. ronan farrow, the writer, is orain the reporter on the and he joins me now. ronan, are the main allegations against les moonves? >> over the course of eight months, jud six woen did an incredibly tough thing overcoming what they describ as profound fear of retaliation to tell me about a range ofal seisconduct up to and including two cases that both of those women described as sexual assault in which they both said they were pinned down and had to struggle to escape anun encor. what's important here, judy, is they're speaking about this because they are concerned there was a culture of impunity around les moonves and dozens of other emoyees, former and current across cbs, backed up that account ad said that company knew about charges of harassment and retaliation
