us it's six. welcome back you're watching our t.v. with me marina joshua reminder of the top stories international sports officials

are in russia to assess it as a potential host for the planet's most spectacular football event the world cup the country's bid when twenty eighteen will be the first time the tournament is held in eastern europe. and it's a year since the disaster of russia's biggest hydroelectric plant in siberia seventy five people died when the turbine hall was flooded the investigation into the devastating accident is still ongoing. and washington is divided over the afghan withdrawal deadline set by president obama for mid twenty eleven the new nato troop commander says the date might be too early while the u.s. defense secretary insists it's set in stone. those are the headlines now rapper weikel of johns bid for the presidency of haiti made headlines last week so. i went to meet his fellow u.s. rapper immortal technique to ask if music industry can offer a more than just empty words to haiti.

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 dispersant on the funds 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 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 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 where you have to involve yourself a lot more in the particular cause and have the most serious commitment sometimes i

get accused of being too serious but because of the territory i want to ask about a few things that you saw there in 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 out 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 made 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 freight. i'm not saying that all of it is i want to clarify that i'm in

no way shape or form ungrateful or i'm 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 pull people out of rubble they've done an extraordinary amount of things but i think that there is a level of corruption that exists beneath 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

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 businesses. on the rubble itself you know that making every desperate attempt 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 a to. you know no they don't. you know what happens when hurricane season comes how

those tents 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 in 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 chain that superior to say

you know what i'm trying to do something good for the people i'm trying to go out there i bust my in order to make that happen but i don't think they're the ones that desire the program the ones that designed 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. no matter what life throws at them it's like we're going to get through this and if 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 all day you know they look at it as oh here's the country they kidnapped our act last president has a country has been involved in supporting you know brutal dictatorships for decades

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 thought relocating to her native home to pero you're from 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 a socialist ideology it begins when indigenous people were being slaughtered in colonized and had their political system devolved 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 thorn in america's side 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 who are

in belgium and other parts of europe i'm trying to get people who are complaining nice 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 then a swimmer 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. 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

it actually happened forty the person. well we you and 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 in america had you brought up america's democracy and america's democracy and us democracy usually goes hand in hand capitalism. what do you make. 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 the model the ultimate model here in the us 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 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 unless 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

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

still the has the capacity for resilience that. touches the soul. and. signed up to join the military because i thought that it was my duty not that it was something that i could do to help my country. my government i thought that it is necessary for americans to feel known there was a lot of drug abuse there was a lot of murder of american officers by american soldiers there were a lot of news stories. throughout my. piece all the while always thought i wanted to win a lot of medals only to have a lot of desperation. but afterwards i realize that they don't mean anything

they're not that important. i don't i don't i never kept the medal. in moscow or she's available in through various grand hotels which colson royal marriage or renaissance coolio one marriage prone pulls a holiday encircled the kids holiday inn holiday inn ski patrol the really emotional to meridian country club suborning sure to find this piece of the first book called sure can pinsky switzer told closing the whole hilton let me get out scott golden couple boutique hotel. international sports officials are in russia to assess it as a potential host for the planet's most spectacular football fan the world cup if successful in its bid it will be the first time the tournament held these in eastern europe. and it's

a year of says the disaster of russia's biggest hydroelectric plant in siberia seventy five people died when the turbine hall was flooded just a geisha into the devastating accident is still ongoing. and washington is divided over the afghan withdrawal deadline set by president obama for mid twenty one a new nato troop commander says the date might be too early while the west answered during insist it's set in stone. that's in the headlines here in our t.v. sports next with you that you're in the studio so you know i guess the big news is . the officials that are investigating russia's facilities and what do you think of russia's bid for the world cup in that connection are we in with a chance i think with a pretty big chance you have to think so the africa got it this year so that was the african continent it's going to south america to brazil in two thousand and fourteen so four years after that surely it's going to come a little bit closer to home we'll have to wait and see of course i've got more in the arena plus the rest of the sport coming up.

toppers host in their first leg play offs. it's all been going swimmingly for this man by letting his side domestically over halfway through now need to hold a hefty seven point advantage up the league summit but in europe's top club competition they really want to make their mark strengthened by recent signing portuguese international defender throughout. the need to haven't lost a game all season and will enter the game favorites they also enter the match injury free. world zero also finished third last season and their league but france hold higher you wait for rating than russia they only need to get through one qualifying run in russia and to playing in russia hasn't always been the most pleasurable for exert their most recent experience was a four nil thrashing by c.s.k. in the two thousand and four u. half a cup hole in form of late also being locked in a certain quad the burgundy club draw in their opening two games of the league one season. boardgames off for consideration on choose the evening with the pick of

almost unthinkable a year ago but tiger woods has not yet made the u.s. ryder cup squad the world over one finished tied for twenty eighth at last weekend's u.s. p.g.a. major meaning he must now rely on the country's captain to hunt him one of the four wildcard spots for a top which event 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. 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 it's become or not. i don't think there's any comms that brings us to rugby union where new zealand say it's just a point away from securing their fifth try nations title in half a dozen years on the all blacks can make that happen on saturday against south

africa both teams have been training in john's berg ahead of the big clash new zealand are coming off a thirteen game winning streak including their latest hard earned victory over st well the springboks in contrast have suffered three straight losses and cannot successfully defend their title with two games to go sunday's match you ever will see eight hundred thousand mainly south african crowd attempt to see if the hosts can at least regain a semblance of pride. over to the hardwood where things are going to plan so far for team usa head off the twenty ten feet world championships in turkey the americans annihilating france in an exhibition game in new york with a century the u.s. is d.t.b. asserting their status of early favorites they americans missing the n.b.a.'s top stars for this one with more young talent filling in one of the mean young talents of the game kevin durant's with the flush their team usa began to find the rhythm after a slow start to runs considered to be the go to guy in the u.s.

team and had fourteen points to rebalance the hosts on cruise control from their own with a modest and square garden froid cheering on even six fifty five when the current thirteen month squad will travel to europe where one more cuts will be made before the tournament starts. an exciting twenty eleven moto g.p. season lies ahead for team to catty after nine time world champion volunteer aussie announced he's going to be moving to his native tully in stable next year rossi leaving yamaha in his words an influx of world class riders so from next year i research from the country for the next two years and great that i'm a. very cool and very motivated for these new talents i think would be very interesting this week seems a lot the yama have incident of this edition from the from two thousand and four.

maybe the best images of the event ever did a great that i did so looks like they didn't need to be any more. ok let's finish by moving back to football on by taking a look at the pic of the strikes which were banged in over the weekend in the russian premier league and by the end of them all it still is a neat sim petersburg they said pretty with a big big lead at the top. that's
