changes that saudi arabia and russia both want to see oil production increase they see that there are problems on the supply side venezuela and iran probably not going to be able to put as much oil into the system as expected during the course of this year and saudi and russia saudi and russia want to actually compensate for that by opening the spigots opening the taps a little bit but iran is very mentally opposed to that because of course around would lose market share and not being able to sell as much oil because of u.s. sanctions it would also then have the double whammy of the oil price going down it wants oil prices stay high so despite the fact that there was a glimmer of a compromise during the course of the week i'm hearing that the iranian oil minister actually walked out of a meeting last night of his or ministers and said that there will be no deal it's going to be some really really tough talking here today and the prospect of a compromise at the end of the day is far from guaranteed finance ministers from the eurozone have agreed on a deal aimed at releasing greece from its eight year bailout program repayments due

on billions of dollars in loans will now be delayed by ten years and greece will be given another seventeen billion dollars to help paid stead's the great government avoided bankruptcy in two thousand and ten but it led to many public sector cuts and tax increases and as john seraphina's reports many greeks think the austerity measures have done more harm than good. during the economic depression in greece penny called says business has fallen by two thirds many of her clients are bankrupt and jobless even homeless so she often comes to her on credit so they can go to a job interview cultures has moved premises twice looking for a more affluent korean toe and she's cut her prices by half but rising taxes have convinced her that the government doesn't want her business to survive. we're not being heard at all now our voice doesn't count we're definitely closing down slowly slowly if we're not careful we're going to close down the way the government's going that's what their plan is this is what they showing us what the hey guys

you'll be working for us until you can handle it until you get into debt and we just want you to close down we want whatever property you have whatever is yours we want it austerity policies were originally meant to turn the greek economy around in two years so far they've lasted eight and as a result of them seven hundred thousand people are no longer considered little plus there are achievements the budget is balanced the government spends no more than it raises in taxes so it's not getting deeper into debt greek labor is more competitive because salaries fell so exports are up the number of tourists has doubled in three years greek agricultural products now bring a quarter of the money that enters the country and shipping remains a traditional strength but business is dependent on domestic consumption a suffering a million people remain jobless most of the rest saving up to pay taxes economists say in the hands of politicians the medicine of austerity did as much harm as good

if i can make a comparison i would consider it someone who has was suffering from cancer and came with eric it came with therapy has been given to him which means that although the goods they bed cells have been dead now but good cells have also died a lot of them at least and which makes the the country as a whole of the organism losing its muscle losing its strength the end of the adjustment program was meant to be a turning point when greece's sacrifices began to pay off but it is difficult to find anyone who now believes the country is on the right path taxes remain high the political climate is polarized and people are traumatized it is as though a war has just ended but there is no sense that greece is. returning to normality and that is a deterrence to investors so is the way in which the refugee crisis has destabilized european politics and undermined solidarity a looming transatlantic trade war and rising global interest rates could see greece

on the. show. you don't go away knowing that it might. be. the legacy of broken treaties colonialism and native american genocide or constant themes and frank wants music born in the rose by indian reservation in rural south dakota out one uses music to call out historical wrongs and uplift indigenous youth many of whom struggle from the impacts of poverty violence suicide and other intergenerational traumas so joining us now is frank here in the studio welcome to

the stream frank hello michael it's an honor to be here it's really good to have you here so you know this past week our team and i had. going to your music has been lovely homework to have and we came up with themes that we thought we found most prevalent in your work and that is history heritage and family that to us is what seems to be the drivers behind your work for you what is it that drives your music i mean i think you guys kind of hit it on the head i try to encourage pro-choice my work from an indigenous standpoint and that's not to say i have all the answers like i grew up and i said the colony in my mind was socialized into you know the western way of looking at the world so as i get more in touch with my own culture and my own roots and try to uncover what they took from us i try to bring that out and i work so very much at the core of it is love love for my people for the land for my family love for everything that we're supposed to live in balance with it's interesting to hear you say that

a lot of people commenting on their colonialism and kind of the courage the creative courage in your lyrics specifically john little on twitter pointing out one song in particular called what makes the red man red saying my favorite line from his music is you inherited everything we died for and all we got is a damn mascot. since that person brought a song that you know i want to hear your answer on that and what you think of that i want to share our audience share with our audience what it sounds like so have a listen to this on sound cloud what made the red man red. thank you. so you sampled disney's song from the animated feature the one nine hundred eighty three animated movie peter pan and turned it on its head so tell us about that so i

produced my own music and i did that was the first time i ever actually sample of vinyl i found a record in a child. it's been any use vinyl so in minneapolis for a dollar and i've always wanted to do something with that song just because disney has a pretty horrible history of stereotyping my people and it's there in the music and so i always look for creative ways to foot things like that on their head like and i just want to point out that song is full of racial slurs for indigenous people but it came off of a children's record and you know so i just by doing that alone it kind of shows you where we're at in this country as far as how we look at entry indigenous people you have this line in there where you say what made you think the red man was dead or something paraphrasing a little bit and i know you have a story where that actually happened to someone you know what is surprised yes so it was my first week in a so i graduated from columbia college in chicago i got my bachelor of arts and audio arts in acoustics and the first week i was there i was living in

a dorm room in a dorm building in downtown chicago and i got in the elevator in this go out on the elevator with me and she was non-native she commented on my hair she didn't get really pretty have you and i was like you know thank you and she didn't know what that meant and so i had to be more general and i was like i'm native american and she looked at me confused and she was like you guys are still alive you know and just think about that we got college educated adults living on stolen colonise land i think we don't even exist in oh i mean you people are talking about the reservations people you're saying you know people think we don't even exist anymore so much of your culture sadly for better or worse is out of sight and kind of out of mind a lot of people touching on the on line for example we have a man on twitter saying i currently reside in l.a. are obstacles when talking about you know he tweeted a single obstacles you face on the reservation other than deeply entrenched institutional racism imposed on the side of p.t.s.d. he goes on and on and says there's so much hopelessness how do you change that sense of hopelessness into hope in your music or do you i think i think you know

i've been thinking about that a lot because i grew up in a place where it was it can get hopeless and i think when you're survivors of a genocide were less than one percent of your people survived and you never been. able to hear oh there's going to be a lot of like you said you know like colonial p.t.s.d. a lot of hopelessness so i think for me my work becomes a tool for me to practice hope is almost at montreaux almost like a daily practice you know you know you've got to keep practicing the hope on a daily basis otherwise it's easy to lose hope in that goal so i think my music gives me the tools of practice it in a day to day basis what drew you to have pop in the first place the storytelling the drums the the truth speaking truth to power you know i think at its core hip-hop was created by a colonized people who were stolen away from their homeland stolen away from their culture and trying to recreate something that was taken from them so i think hip hop at its core is coming from indigenous roots you know african folks who are indigenous people as well we all are colonized people so i think that's why as an

indigenous person i resonate with it because it was created by colonized people and it's drawing from indigenous tradition that is you know frank for as much as we all of hip hop and i think we all here do love hip hop but some people don't love hip hop but they still love you i mean the loves days thing on twitter i'm not a fan of hip hop but it's different with his music really great i love it too but i live so far to ever see him alive she goes on then to say when we asked what do you think is different about his music she said good question it might be because he talks about the realities that the government tried so hard to race it's important to keep talking and spread the word to those who do not know and you're doing it extremely well are you conscious of that that you're educating as much as you're entertaining you know in the beginning i wasn't because i was just you know one thing i was taught from elders and i community is that if you know something you do it without being asked and if you if you learn something you repeat it so others can learn it and so i think you know i just was talking about those things because it's my life that histories and ingrained in my life indigenous people our lives

are politicized whether we want it to be or not because our reality was influenced by us policy and still is today so i would be lying if i wasn't talking about. my reality and my life you know so it's just it just started happening and then as i started putting out the music i realized there was a need to educate not on not only non-native well known people because we were cut off from the history as well i didn't know i was a came from a colonized nation until i was in my twenty's you know really. well in the spirit of education for and i know you're going to perform a new song for us it's called my people come from the land so as you get ready i wanted to share this video comment that came from nolan how talking kind of about what we just spoke of. wall and his music speak to me because he is a compromising and his music is on compromise and he tells the truth his music tells the truth and that i can identify with that as a black man because i look at something like this is america by donald glover and

this is the same thing donald comes and goes hey this is what this is what this country's been doing to us the soul wall this is what this country is the tool to is right now franks laying it on the table the same way coming out with aboriginal coming out with well makes a red man red and say this is what this country has been doing to native people one hundred years this is what this country is still doing to move. on from that and. come from the. people come from the land on which to fight the white and still fight. for folks not my nation zebediah every step closer on the rest i never.
