find out what's really happening to the global economy. for our. global financial headlines kaiser report. more news today. and these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. corporations are today. every month we give you the future you understand. and want to bring the best. from across russia and around the world. join us.
2:32 pm
twenty a. check for a new stadium. thousands of people living in the west bank. told from. russia just won't go away. the rain in the northwest will still weeks of one president people a good. twenty . dot com next rapper with live joins paid for the presidency of haiti made headlines last week so on the back of that artie's report i went to meet his fellow u.s. rapper immortal technique to ask if the music industry can offer more than just empty words to haiti.
2:33 pm
you took the incentive to help raise money for haitian so many hundreds of thousands that are still in need why did you feel that you actually had to fly over to haiti to see the disbursement of the funds well i went there at the request of hip hop for haiti and always around haiti. there's a club s.o.b.'s in downtown new york that was gracious enough to involve themselves personally in the cause to support the haitian people. and when i heard about the what was going on i said you know whatever you guys need from me and they said we want you to get the word out about what's really going on here you know so the best way to do that is to come down there not to read pamphlets full of statistics or to to just study them in books but also to actively participate in them you know i think that's the line between an activist and a revolutionary and you have to involve yourself a lot more than the particular cause and have the most serious commitment sometimes
2:34 pm
i get accused of being too serious but because of the territory i want to ask about a few things that you saw there the children the orphans from what i read you actually were holding think a one year old in your hand and then when you were done holding up the child passed that one year old off to another level you're all talking about that experience and what you saw in terms of the kids in the orphanage there the thing that struck me is how young of the country it is and when people come to me and asked me you know what is haiti need as i say that haiti needs schools they need education they need to be able to learn how to be self-sufficient self-sustaining and to not always be reliant on foreign aid which is equivocal to the large corporations and large countries paying themselves and saying that they're donating money to haiti i read that you said foreign aid is this is a deceptive phrase. i'm not saying that all of it is i want to clarify that i'm in
2:35 pm
no way shape or form ungrateful or trying to discount the support that. haiti has gotten from every major i did see from what a country to a corporation because they have saved people's lives they have pulled people out of rubble they've done an extraordinary amount of things but i think that there is a level of corruption that exists to meet the surface when we talk about foreign aid when we talk about donating to a cause when we talk about the fees that are incurred for certain aid organizations that have what is it forty percent off the top they go to their expenses and i think it's a little disingenuous but. that's my opinion but when i look at haiti and what it signifies when i see that someone who is eleven years old worrying about raising three other kids around them younger than them it really. struck a chord according to the new york times only five percent of the rubble has
2:36 pm
actually been removed do you see that with your own eyes what did it look like when you were walking through absolutely as you go through port au prince and the surrounding areas and you'll see buildings that are still collapsed their. counterpart to the white house is still in shambles broken down people are trying to build rebuild their own independent business is. all in the rubble itself you know that making every desperate attempt if they can to take. whatever structure is still left and build something out of it. when we talk about their safety and what their living conditions are what i saw is that the people who are inside the tent cities there are usually about two or three families per tent so when you look at those tents it's a little misleading because it's like oh they're fine now they have it to. you know no they don't. you know what happens when hurricane season comes how those tents
2:37 pm
going to hold up to that you know i think that there is something to look at in terms of a long term vision of what is going to happen in the country who's in to be in control of it now it's it's a military state it's a police state run by america and the u.s. and the u.n. at interchangeable entities sometimes i want to ask you about that because you were a little harsh in terms of the united nations that what it has done or has not done for haiti despite the promises that have been made. by the united nations and independently by the united states what do you think the interests are when we talk about people's interests and whether they're genuine. it's hard to say i'm sure some people's interests are very much genuine i'm sure there are people on the ground level and people who are below that is executive food chain that sit there and say you know what i'm trying to do something good for the people who are trying
2:38 pm
to go out there i lost my in order to make that happen but i don't think they're the ones that desire the program the ones that design the protocol you know just the worker bees very well paid worker bees but they don't know how the hive is being formed do they haitians believe from what they told you that the u.s. is going to fulfill the promises that it has made in order to help them help them rebuild the younger ones are they really are very positive people. don't matter what life throws at them it's like we're going to get through this and that the u.s. is willing to partner with us and help us then hopefully they'll stay they'll stay true to their word so they're hopeful whereas when i talk to some of the. you know old day you know they look at it as here's the country they kidnapped or at last president has a country has been involved in supporting you know brutal dictatorships for decades
2:39 pm
really you're here to help them when asked about this firing one of. the ten suspects that pled guilty to being are an unregistered agent of a foreign country is. journalist vicky pelaez who had to be expelled from the united states that day that she had guilty she was flown to russia and then from what reported and confirmed by her attorney she got relocating to her native home to perro you're from her or your family in peru how do you think she's going to be received there well from what my family tells me it was a lot bigger news there than it was here specifically because she was peruvian why latin america has always felt as if they're the pawns in russia and america's chess game you know we've always felt like we're not always but i make it clear to people and make them understand where our struggle comes from it doesn't begin in the fifty's and sixty's it doesn't begin with the adoption of a communist ideology or
2:40 pm
a socialist ideology it begins when indigenous people were being slaughtered in colonized and had their political system d. of all of them had their economic system devolved years ago america went around proselytizing. democracy to all parts of the world saying you know we should should have a democracy that people can be in charge but when the people of latin america saw that the same prognosticator the profit of democracy was sitting there supporting these brutal dictatorships they said well who else has something on the table and russia who love to be a thought in america because both of them don't want to war with a real country so today let's see how this plays out here what's interesting to me is what's under. reported about. the spies and what's going on because probably about a week after that i read an article talking about how right wing colombians were in
2:41 pm
belgium and other parts of europe i'm trying to get people who are complaining he needs human rights organizations talking about the horrific human rights records that the right wing government in colombia. they were trying to shut them down threatening people's lives so when i look at that it's one of the other you have spies from our right wing faction in colombia somewhere and then you have spies from a left wing faction or going through better who are in venezuela i think anyone who really is a political animal knows that this is just a joke you know who knows that it's not a serious is not like they stole that the plane is the death star you know what do they do they came over here they hung out at p.t.a. meetings you know i'm not discounting the seriousness of it because when you look at history people have really lost their lives people have been executed in this country despite but we're not at that cold war era it almost looked like a setup it almost looked like they had planned to have some big spy exchange before
2:42 pm
it actually happened shortly the person. while we were at me or anyone who's watching this program could say oh well maybe they want to take the public's mind off of other things but at the end of the day i think it was probably the kindest spy exchange the most civil disagreement that russia and america had you brought up america's democracy and america's democracy you know u.s. democracy usually goes hand in hand capitalism. but even me. the united states that form of capitalism following the financial meltdown that we start taking place nearly two years ago do you think capitalism is going to continue as a model the ultimate model here in the u.s. when i talk about capitalism and communism there's nowhere you can go to escape capitalism. you know even in russia. they could teach america few things about overblown capitalism if you want to go escape to communist china where they have
2:43 pm
more capitalist than america in many ways and they perfected. keeping their people quiet about the way that their capitalist system is run which is something i wish america i think america wishes they could do sometimes but at the cost of what. what's the human cost of this laissez faire economic system that's built up closely was a longer standard that means that means an economic system that doesn't have any regulation or any government intervention on haiti right now has an opportunity to completely rebuild that system. from scratch what do you think is going to happen and how do you think it's going to happen it's a country that lives under military occupation right alist the haitian people are proactive about taking control of it themselves they will find. the terms of their republic dictated to them by other people. outside entities. not just
2:44 pm
governments but corporations what do you encourage. those that want to help to do if you really want to involve yourself in it. then teach them you know i mean if you're a doctor go down. work in a clinic don't understate if you're an ordinary average citizen find a grassroots organization that is actually physically doing things on the ground. rather than just mailing fifty dollars to the red cross twenty dollars of which is actually going to go to the asian people. and i think that more than anything else . what i learned. from my trip. was that. humanity when. confronted with some of the most drastic and devastating. of tragedies that can possibly befall them

2:49 pm
both sides are no way from the european qualifying places get real lokomotiv moscow for us this week the side of enjoying the best of campaigns this season and tally cottons job could be on the line side belts raise and that's good for new signing a doohickey gets to play single guys. ahead of the game their fans remains upbeat but i think that's part of the real tide one. locomotive started off brightest but it was spotless skies alex who came closest to opening the school in twelve minutes with this free kick but the stalemate didn't last long spacek took the lead on the seventeenth minute when wellington opened the story with three simple tappan just two minutes later however alex and elliott equalized the locomotive with a stunning free kick spot checks rallied and on the half hour wellington netted his second a game from close range the second half started much like the first locomotive
2:50 pm
pushed forward and dennis crucial comforters denied only by good safe by surrogate pious accounts however on the sixty fifth minute wellington completed his hat trick to give spot i can honestly say to the late lokomotiv refused to lie down and with just four minutes to go captain dimitri such as school disco to make it through to . the saw a chance if it was to get to tonight and wellington wasn't to be denied his moment of glory spots at bookies by the results and we're under no illusions of what pressure that's still under are going on i don't think he relaxed the. it was bad luck a failure by the goalkeeper from there we did well to go through you want to head on and well enough to survive three two but that was a failure to defend because. i think we need to improve on every victory is easier we needed to win a big game against a tough team away from home and now we have to work hard we have fourteen and i'm
2:51 pm
still a bit like fourteen wars so we can finish the championship a little higher so supposed to live to fight another day and take quest for european football next season. moscow. so overalls and very much the side to catch with the season now just over half way through there now with a seven point advantage and a game in tandem champions rubina have slipped to third after a disappointing one one draw it says god currently second and have also played one game less than they rested you to have a small dog here in moscow and we could go and down the other and you boys seem to be to look play various to go back where they came for a while creating a set up all the other really creations. over to the greens now where martin kaymer has won has made major title at the p.g.a. championship in what proved to be an eventful night in wisconsin dustin johnson was tied for second heading into the final day but suffered from one of the numerous hazards at whistling straits the twenty six year old losing his one shot made after

receiving a two stroke penalty for grounding his club into a bunker on the sixteenth that left to bubba watson and climber to battle it out in the. watson showing great touch to stop things off there but when it mattered most a ceremonial tapping him for the third giving him the most important victory of these korea. this is obviously the biggest german all the majors this is the biggest tournaments that they can win in your career and i cannot win anything anything beer the majors they're the biggest service we play and just knowing that i can win the tournament like that gives me a huge confidence for any other dirt i will play for the rest of my the rest of my career tiger woods meanwhile continues to struggle the world no one finished tied for twenty eighth that whistling straits on failed to automatically add a spot on their ryder cup team u.s. captain corey pavan will announce the four remaining picks until september the
2:53 pm
seventh. he's number one player in the world and that's a pretty good pretty good pro. you know obviously concerning him highly. no doubt about it. you know he's playing better. and i think we've all seen that he wants to play he wants to be part of the team. but it's going to be my judgment you know whether i pick him or not. i don't think there's any cons. over to tennis and andy murray has every reason to be confident ahead of the u.s. open the scottish star defeating both rafael nadal and roger federer on his way to successfully defending his reuters cup boston's title into our old home the twenty three year old handed draw for his defeat in the semi's and only federer's stood in the way of a second straight title that express however off track after a rain delayed stocks mari to go for a set by seven games to five we really unsuccessfully from very low down further
