4:18 pm
to come then there's the income tax in russia is just thirteen percent compared to forty in europe the u.s. and of course it's the glamorous life they lead here the parties the duchesse the night clubs the country clubs red carpet treatment everywhere they go who can say no to that the latest man unable to say no e.p. c.e.o. tony hayward in a somewhat musical chairs move mr hayward will replace former b.p. head robert dudley will move to b.p. headquarters in london the boss what benefits not just the ex-pats in the region they have entire villages built for them which if they choose to they don't even have to leave their every whim is counted for including weekends floyds back home and of course for russia this is beneficial as well drilling experts culture is very valued because it's to cultural growth cultural growth there's somewhat doubtful though the top managers party with the best and keenly of void the rest
4:19 pm
including members of the press something that in their native europe or america would not be accepted well but here they set the rules and everyone else watches on trying to appear in behind the tentacle ass of their motorcades. catarina our moscow. well america's failure to get results in its military campaigns at a cost of billions and thousands of lives is damaged its reputation as a role model for democracy well that's according to one outspoken american rap artist who believes the country's image is just a facade. not
4:20 pm
that long ago. most were embracing their new popular president when. it was great. for some hip hop artist has worn away. general steele of rap duo smith and wesson is among the few cutting against the grain in confronting issues like social injustice and government corruption. and they were one of. the brooklyn born rapper sat down with our team to discuss his new album america's nightmare part two children of war for centuries. people have known that the president has been the face of the. united states.
4:21 pm
when we start dealing with the reality. of. this great position you know the people out of government you know people. 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 that. he means well and i think that there are there are there are people who have been running this country way before brock graduate and probably thought about running for office or coming in senegal and 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
4:22 pm
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 in some forms he has because he can not stand and do nothing 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 that day i think that his his demeanor is so they call him the cool president you know it's like 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
4:23 pm
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 this is. to pass the buck to give something round. to saying yes jobs. get us better health care or open more schools watch it was like what we see the power that we have as a unified and this is our symbol of unification but just say. we have to know where the power came from and the power initially came from the people who elect this
4:24 pm
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 or how it effects affects them or affects us because on american citizens we have to remember that. america is this model for democracy you know we've become. like people in third world countries. look to america and say you know you guys are really seem like you got it together you know. it's not really together it's just a facade of you know everybody has 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
4:25 pm
a good question. when people can speak up when they can have a peaceful protests. about injustices that's in the community is for something as small as from police brutality to what's going on and 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 to say i what am i going to do about what's going on in. detroit or fifty fifty five schools it's called harm are going to deal with this like we're talking about the future that was some of the children who. economy does pose an economy of force i suppose and jobs for a second let's talk about the opportunity for for children even know when it is there is a hole in their country so to create more jobs what is america's nightmare because that's what your album is called america's nightmare part two children of war right now what is america's nightmare i think america's nightmares
4:26 pm
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 it's 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. you know better quality of life with not such a separation is 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 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 i can communicate with people. across the world so what i say has to
4:27 pm
be important it has to be helpful has to be unless i'm just an agent for destruction then i probably need to be with the rest of the spas and. blow up stuff . that no general steele thank you very much for sitting down doing is been a pleasure thank you. coming into the future. just received speeds from a cinema and landed in your living room shot on specialises street the streets your stereo display a life glasses no problem potentially the three d. function. here on. the central.
