doing their opinions in the songs they've been found will join them in their battle to get a different point of view across that could change the u.s. to one of them he says america's image is just the songs. it's not that long ago. most u.s. robbers were embracing their new popular president with problem which was great but you still big gamble. for some people are this way has worn away behind the. great generosity of rap duo smith and wesson is among the few cutting against the grain to confronting issues like social injustice or any government corruption beats and they were one of my focus the brooklyn born rabbit on sat down with our team to discuss his new album america's nightmare partit watching children of war i

would say first that i've bored of her bra. i think that most people regular folks like myself. are interested in what we can do. and vironment to make it better. and a lot of times we are. we we are we're giving this this horse and we're just like was supposed to believe in this thing but is person and. we've seen it done over and over and over and at times you have to realize like the truth of the truth you know like we're all human beings are all we all have responsibilities but i think that no one human being can save the world i think that people get involved like doing something like getting obama elected i think in a spirit of. the you in the sixty's when they spoke out about injustices that was going or you had the elders had to calm down and now say ok we

hear that now we want to be the faces for this thing so now we can catapult it across the nation i think that for centuries. people have known that the president has been the face of. corporation called america the united states and i think when we start dealing with the reality of that then we can start to find what our position is and how we played this great position you know it's been said that the people out of government you know and i don't think people realize that so. do you mean to tell me you don't think that. u.s. president barack obama can change the system the system that you say is led. by the corporations of the united states in my opinion i think he means well and i think that there are there are there are people who are going to run in this country way before barrage graduate and probably thought about running for office come in and set it all yet. but the exciting chapter but the reason the most so

many americans rallied around him is because he promised to change that pattern he vowed to as a matter of fact in two thousand and eight i think in october two thousand and eight you put a video up on you tube a letter to barack obama where he said we need a president that knows how to react. we stand with you. has he reacted to any of the injustices you've seen and some forms he has because he cannot stand and do nothing like he was crazy about the people by the people we have love for our country where we are you know. and we will we we will support the people that are in office if they have the. interests of the people. sometimes it takes longer than other places because as you look in greece right now it's crazy in greece right now. and what we see is the media telling us how things are

going so we're kind of like we're kind of calm before the storm so to speak i think that obama is a good way to keep people at bay i think that his his demeanor is so they call him the cool president you know it's like make these card the wrist exam almost like it reminds me of rap almost like you want to make this cool guy appeal to people but then the people who are there are some people that's looking at the issues and they're like they're not really happy with the performance of the president right now issues being unemployment like what we were speaking about before how unemployment among african-americans at least here in new york city is four times higher than that of white americans and there's a similar pattern like that in the majority of states throughout the country do you think that having a black president in office or did you think it would have changed or help change that problem or combat the problem just the problem in a way i think that's an excellent question and i think that's one of the one of the

things that i think about most when i look at the people in the community i think that people have to realize that they are the government the people who elect the government officials and i think it's important that people are informed about things. pass the buck to give something rank. to saying yes jobs. get us better health care or open more schools for our children like we see the power that we have as a unified and this is our symbol of unification but just say that. we have to know where the power came from and the power initially came from the people who elect this individual i think that. the need for change is what set this whole thing in motion and it's going on all over the world it just seems like america or the americans. american citizens are just kind of sleeping right now i don't know i don't know if they understand what's really going on in the world and how it

affects affects them or affects us because i'm an american citizen tell me about america's team and tell me about. what you want. your fans gender statter maybe new people that don't know that much about your music that will now go watch that video in this into your earlier what message are you saying that hip hop has been given to us. like to give respect so cool her african baden's of nation i think that hip hop could be used for good for evil. i'm a kid who grew up in brownsville oh she held brownsville brooklyn not texas a lot of my peers they are not politically afford they don't even vote you know feel the necessity to be involved in that process because it doesn't really protect them often and i think that hip hop has given us a stage to open up this dialogue on this dialogue to inform people why their their

position is important or their participation is important and know that the power comes from the people you know black panther said power to the people power to all people. we have to remember that. america is this model for democracy you know we've become. people in third world countries. look to america and say you know you guys are really seem like you got it together you know yet. it's not really together it's just a facade of you know everybody is to make up is there but behind the make up is kind of like kind of like chaotic if it's not a democracy here in the united states what is it that's a good question it's a good question. when people can speak up when they can have a peaceful protests. about injustices that's in a community is for something as small as from police brutality to what's going on

in the with the oil spill. and be active when you have the people dissatisfied what was going on with the policies then you have to wake up in the morning president obama has to work a bit more is there i what am i going to do about what's going on in. detroit all fifty fifty five schools it's called harm are going to deal with this like we're talking about the future that was said about the children who. the economy has poisoned economy forcing us pause on jobs for a second let's talk about the opportunity for the children even know when it is there is a hole in their country to create more jobs so it gets a little tricky when you start getting close to sort of red tape what is america's nightmare because that's what your album is called america's nightmare part two children of war right now it is america's nightmare i think america's nightmares a mirror. a reflection of the ugliness and i think that america the beautiful like

the heart of song goes i think that america is a beautiful place but i think that is been covered with so much turmoil in oil so much turmoil and i think that. if we shake loose we can begin to get into this this just this you know better quality of life with not such a separation of races and ethnic backgrounds are we going to we're going to have to deal with. religion but how does that go beyond just rhetoric i mean that there needs to be action order to change what you call is a nightmare is the action ending wars as the action cutting the military budget is the action i don't know recognizing muslim holidays i mean you're talking about religion you're talking about race relations what kind of action action. action by the administration action ministration will not do anything for. our kids tell you

what the action was because i might be a science and what i would say is that our our ability to connect with each other is the power that the government can't control and they're working very strongly on controlling it even when you look at what's going on with the internet and trying to find you know with the f.c.c. and different rulings and stuff. was going on with china with google. it's a lot of. changes going on in the constitutions across the world and i think that when the people because we outnumber. the outnumber the senator the representatives outnumber these people like if we're really dissatisfied i think that we can say that in a manner that will change and i think that when we have when we put our children to school to college in one of them might want to be the next obama we've got to make sure he can do the work we want to push him to see if you can do the work is a lot of it's a lot of things that. obama has to face you know i'm not. totally

disappointed in him i think that as a as a as a person you have to do your best job and then. you working with the united states government can't can't because it can't be easy see your message to your fellow americans i gather is open your eyes open your eyes don't sleep don't don't fall for whatever they feed you you know most kings are lot of kings will poison because they were. it was they will loving of their of the subjects and a lot of times you know there's just wickedness and you have to know that there's wickedness and in the world you have to know that there are people who are just here to profit and to put their foot on the back of people who are poor who don't know any better and i think that most of our communities like when you look around in the communities if you just left them alone for like a week you would see how rich these communities were a lot of people had to go outside of the community to make their money and they

always bring it back so it's not really like this crazy thing like crime is not really crazy in new york it's really like this explosion of cultures meshing together one a worldwide global scale we're seeing it in america we're seeing what could possibly happen in america on a global scale it could happen and just being. asian of speech or age and of information like yourself like i can communicate with people. across the world so what i say has to be important it has to be helpful has to be unless i'm just an agent for destruction and then i probably need to be with the rest of the spies and. to sign a blow up stuff. that no general still thank you very much for sitting to thank you is been a pleasure and honor thank you. the

that. sinking us a book up and although i'm new to this team i feel very good in this and if i had faith in the same i had to make it start to some point like every other coach so why not with an important game like this or two and i'm not worried about anything else as it plays to my availability and believe in a good result against iraq's northern tier but here. and elsewhere and of all share i think that champions a kick out the third round qualification much away it's with swede run as up young boys the turkish side who lost their first two league games this season but come back with a couple of oils hitting want override. that coach knows just what his team has today. we know that we have a big responsibility in this match and we're played like that which it's a knockout system with two matches to be played so we have to draw and get to push the result on wednesday and take a date. and sell to go also in action this wednesday the scottish premier league

run us up had a light training session in portugal ahead of their clash with sporting broader the portuguese side have a long list of injuries with call for the first team sidelined so it's a good opportunity for celtic eleven he's preparing for his first european match as a manager. initially. chad stand a game keeper concentration you know but ultimately you know we would like to you know create chances as well think it's important obviously if we can make an away goal and it's. will be very very important for sports you know early on will be. you know respect and brotherhood not shown too much respect and we've got to go and play as well you know we got to have a belief in ourselves and i think there's a good focus about the squad of the minute there's a confidence about them as well. staying with the wall and diego maradona's reign as argentina coach has come to an end after the country's football association voted unanimously not to a new his contract he been in charge of the national side for twenty one months and

it's normal but yeah very doable will be a chelsea player actually carlo is completely comfortable with the way with the team. you know you would you know if carlo wants to bring a player or two into the squad then their mood look at that it has to be the right player. to fit into the squad and obviously at the right price and if these things all come together then you can fly will strengthen the squad. meanwhile one man who has changed sides is for spain striker old the thirty three year old joins german runners up shaka on a two year deal on wednesday just two days after announcing his departure from the only club he's ever played for while madrid the move puts an end to raul's eighteen year stint with the spanish giants. and in the meantime the delegation has visited sydney on the last day of their tour of australia and russian displays of every city and stadium involved in the country's best for the world cup in twenty twenty two but it wasn't business on their agenda the delegates also went to the sydney

olympics which were held here back in one thousand a.d. the country has changed the political course drastically since then but a healthy nation remains a priority for today's government as well and just like thirty years ago russia's main sporting venue remains in the heart of moscow the luzhniki olympic complex now the home of the first annual international sports forum. we want to show that luzhniki still very much alive today and meets the requirements of international sports federation is the main thing is that it can host various top level competitions and forty five different sports disciplines and want to show to the foreign participants that you can accuse the sports and health center of not only moscow of the entire country as well. the forms program includes conferences congresses and various round tables which will be held from the twenty ninth of july to the first of august besides the meetings all sports dignitaries the four will host the second international sport film festival and of course the calendar
