tragedy people try to rebuild their lives for the government isn't doing. and one of the main news stories from a single week in the largest anti terror operation in years russian security forces have killed seventeen militants and destroyed their counter the north caucuses it comes on the eve of the first anniversary of the moscow metro bombings that killed thirty. it's ten thirty one pm now moscow time next economic rift between the rich and the poor in america is deepening but a new awareness is also taking root among the people that is the opinion anyway of renowned civil rights activist cornel west to share his views with our report i. dr cornel west is among america's most provocative intellectuals a princeton professor and lifelong pioneer of working class rights and racial justice. at this year's left forum conference in new york city dr west's appearance

drew thousands of activists aiming to revitalize the american left. there he was. once a vocal supporter of u.s. president barack obama dr west tells our key why his opinion has drastically changed dr west thank you very much for taking the time to speak with our team this the patient dr west but you are one of twelve hundred speakers from around the world who have come here to new york to take part in the left forum this year's theme it's called tell words the politics of solidarity why do you think i've got like this is so important one of the i just want to pay tribute to the visionary figures behind the formal play such important world is stating that we are now experiencing a we're at a cold democratic awakening in the american empire in the united states deeply affected by what's going on in northern africa and the poor fact about what's going

on in the middle east and more and more now she by what is happening in madison wisconsin in columbus ohio and other capitals so that i think we've had so much sleep working. in the united states where of course. wall street oligarchs and corporate elites have been not just dominating but in many ways. you use in billions of dollars from the public funds. based on their financial shot of the shadow financial system making be. it is of dollars of poor and working people are pushed to the margins and i think more and more working class persons who thought they had a secure existence recognize that their plight is more and more time to the plight of poor people and type to the plight of working poor people so you were experiencing now the early stages of a kind of

a shift in perception in the united states dr west you have mentioned several times that americans are working harder than ever before they're earning less than ever before and the economic disparities in this country are deepening and deepening. you call yourself a critical supporter of u.s. president barack obama how would you assess his leadership and particularly president obama living up to the promises that he made that rang he became president but i think that he has now aligned himself with forces that promote the abandonment of poor people and the neglect of working people so i would characterize obama as a charismatic version of american exceptionalism with a keynesian mural liberalism at home and

a liberal neo conservatism abroad which is a say he's the friendly face of the american empire abroad and internally he's a centrist now leaning for the right. and he's in the process actually of becoming very sadly a pawn of big finance and a puppet of big business and that's a very sad assessment because he's began with such magnificent democratic rhetoric during the campaign his rhetoric at sea. and summers in the holbrooke and others on the foreign policy was clear he would resign. knights it was a neo liberal reconstitution and it was the very moment in which we could have undermined the neo liberal consensus both domestically and and internationally he decided to reaffirm it in reconstituting with all due respect dr west americans didn't know where his campaign contributions were calming from fast it was clear

and transparent and known that goldman sachs and other wall street banks were making very large political donations to obama put ordinary people gave him a lot of money to us so we had all the need we thought that it was some balancing because yes he got big money from goldman sachs to get big money from wall street oligarchs but then you get all that is financial and spiritual and moral support for maybe people and the trade union movement so you would think there would be some counterbalancing and that's who we have yet to see in the two have years and of course right now it's just a priest preoccupied reelection dr west our poll came out just a few weeks ago indicating that confidence among americans is that a thirty five year low that brings us to a carter era presidency i mention this because i know that you are planning and

events for early april and you're calling on all americans to take part in this event from what i read is about empowering the people of this country to fight back against the corporate rule as you call it you talk about this event what has actually led to this sort of very distinguished professor and the sort of for instance folks pivot and we will be judged memorial church to a club called the fifth it will be in hundreds of schools will be piping in zero in on. the teaching and. we'll have a dialogue for two hours or so and then we'll have another hour to have dialogue to focus on local issues all around the nation and it is an attempt to reinforce this radical democratic awakening that's taking place in the united states very much rather than systems in the west constantly. but also connecting it to critiques of

foreign policy connecting it to critiques of white supremacy connecting it to critiques of male supremacy connecting it to teach them for connecting it's similar to them and they are a very sensible but most important of your critique of american imperial policy american. economic and. do you think the growing consensus among americans right now is that there needs to be our mobilization among the people to bring about change that change can through the leadership of one man i think that is a fundamental message but i mean unfortunately that was see it in the campaigning in two thousand and eight and it's never about one in elected official that's really got people organizing and mobilizing but at the same time we have to acknowledge that these wall street oligarchs and corporate elites tied to not just

the financial corporate complex but we talk about just tonight the military industrial complex. the prison industrial complex tied to the pain meant corporate media complex makes it very difficult for people to believe that we can make a difference and that's what we're here at this now for and let people know we can make a difference we have in the past we do now and we will in the future. as you know song was sixteen years old when he committed these murders that's not inside the song so it should not be punished for his crimes sean is being punished no rational person within the knives out sean has been punished is been punished

a lifeline that's like meet salamat five three to take thank you daryn cup semi finals who are deciding second stay. as dream country not into a cricket match in townsville finally gets his hands on the world cup that's new to him so at least korea. start with football though i am defending russian premier league champions in it on top of the table despite being held to a two two draw attendance spot at no objects which on a split is meant made a strong start alex on the closure of putting them in the driver's seat after just seven minutes. gets they fail to tighten their grip the follow up home side levelled matters through atlanta as a kid of age after an hour. but now three were dealt a blow me lanny of an eventual picking up a second yellow card for diving. and a man down the home side league to go to a bitch is that from three games so far. however the man considine equaliser just

two minutes ago is this powerful free kick now picked up their share of the spoils despite this after winning that anything to gain for the season it's night now to the table on seven points. and the ravine missed the chance to leapfrog them after losing one they let angie a young fellow end up with a seventh minute winner that's a sky held a one one draw because the other. new boys have all got a second on six points after their three hundred as a man i must go on saturday with a depression or finally netted the first off the sixty three minutes but you have a driver the provider and simmons later the midfielder turned scorer doubling the lead with a free kick and then launched the attack. in the city of metternich complete the scoring. much to the distress of that in and i found it returned around two hundred seats. and there is another shopping plaza spartak moscow continued that

bumpy start to the season for the three one defeat a coupon alexander should cough you think in hindsight a penalty right before the bright boy in strike at last in a try or a stepped up to let his first go in russia spot that called level soon after the restart all sorts of confusion in one goal math ipsa and finally looking you guys out but that response i said only happy moment of the night by getting back in front less than ten minutes later i was five elite in full advantage spotlight sloppy defending. said they got it off and it had less third in the dying minutes response and in this three points there's many games on the cup less than straight wins. and elsewhere clear so that's us out if they want to hold your thought to how they set our course somewhat fortunately for the home side after twenty four minutes one knows how it stood in two midway through the second fourth

and sadly it was not something look the ball goalkeeper flats was clear the first point of the season. on that table of. all that was a disappointing draw for luck a mighty few has to dust off the luzhniki arena and munchie the long pass from the center circle let us live now to finally break the deadlock fifteen minutes in time but ten minutes later that seemed to go there was in the right place to have a home run at the must cross and then just a minute later look i've seem to have snatched the wind that go south for offside one all this how it ended. meanwhile in england match the city went third in the premier league table on sunday after a five nil hands trashing of sunderland five different goal scorers health system moved within three points in second place i don't want to put up chelsea. sunderland drop the trials elsewhere bobby zamora scored a first half bracers only rose to ten minutes three no i think before the bottom

got pulled. and on saturday manchester united came back from two goals down to win full two at west ham and their seven points clear at the top also not true at ten one black girl have a game in hand all chelsea also drew one one and stoke west brom beat liverpool for the first time in thirty years to launch in fifth place and taught them how to a goal a strong rock bottom we're going. to rise up and it will go down to the wire these things conference finals of the playoffs after a message like that style about five three times as best of seven series and three all sides were knocked two goals apiece after the idea here is that a brace might lead to make it gave the home side a comfortable lead is an obvious through solid out a lifeline with seven minutes left and they replaced their netminders with an arm to play lead dying seconds it's no avail running back completing a five three scoreline formats like. and waiting in the final our lines you won

their best of seven series with an eight two thrashing of look i want you are a struggle and watching that was considering without love. this evening the teams didn't work but produced an electric start a plan had the best of their possession but it was the visitors who put their noses in front just three minutes in and they support and passed alexander callahan include red direct to the park goal words but the moscow region side responded in less than a minute you know what they won last he skated around the net and made an ideal pass to me to get to equalise one o. one to score the goal everybody was like you and i look at the fans you know everybody went down and they're like hopes we're going to answer right back and i and i think when we answer right back where you were a fair hearing they came for about the game stay tight until the twenty fourth minute when your mind of course and the aftershock sure that part between the legs off was goaltender to one their goal gave up more of the confidence to continue

scoring and not a quick three on three attack and sergei my second with a wrist shot made it three one and in the last minutes of the second period a plant added one more till the field of pasta i let people off one time gets under the post and authorise dominance continues in the last frame of the game back and despite alex on the gallium of giving here a solid hope of a comeback capitalizing on a power play for two but it was at once night as they took full advantage of their possession and put on the pressure well it was a real disaster for comedy for each other of dribble parts of the fans men and made in rather impressive pass for better off to the dismay of the only music or she could be replaced alexander you can point to there was a delay penalty for the committee but one decided not to wait for the play to leave the ice and get us off course it was the quickest men in the sport my second spots to the far postponed thirty nine year old to throw off on mark and that completed his hat trick seven to acme while

it seemed up learn just couldn't get enough and kept attacking. we get most out of three shots from the left circles to the point of scored eighty two it was the same thing just like the last game in there as well we score goals we had where a lot of friends are and we picked it up in scoring and it was called lot of goals so one destroy the committee for home ice and reach the final for the first time and with such an offensive style of play their frayed off no one no matter who will be their opponent in the final either metta world or saw a few i can say about are by. now reigning might a g.p. champion jorge lorenzo has trying to his first victory of the new season in his native splaying after his rivals collided on the wet track of her arrest in form casey stengel started from pole for second straight time with his training overtaken by marco simoncelli with trying to laps to go another italian valentino
