turn it back on nuclear power over the next eleven years some experts believe such plans are untenable pushed to the top of energy for greener alternatives could leave germany with jobs and the dark. giant corporations getting richer at the expense of american taxpayers it's the core of the occupy wall street movement which is are now well into its fifth week one new york hip hop artist has been with the protesters from the very beginning he shared with us the disappointment and frustration behind the ongoing outcry. occupy wall street has now entered its fourth week of demonstrations and this movement has now blazed profits may shine in forty five feet two hundred cities and over the past few weeks many well known names have thrown their support behind the movement including my current guess rapper after this and revolutionary immortal
8:32 am
technique thank you for joining me thank you for having me on the program within the first few weeks you came down here to speak to the crowd from what i understand you were very bothered by the fact this movement was being marginalized right now for fourth week into a mainstream media is down here we see all these satellite trucks around why do you think they have gone to report about what is taking place here and throughout the country you know this is an old phrase in the media if it bleeds it leads you know the more shocking the more outrageous it is the more that they want coverage because they know that other stations the smaller media outlets the blogging sites those sites that may not be necessarily mainstream media but have the attention of millions of viewers are starting to actually pay attention to what's going on here which one is which is one of the biggest expressions of democracy in the past few decades here in america and i think that when that is clear and present in front of
8:33 am
everyone to see it becomes blatantly obvious to some of the larger. media center is that they're not even giving an ounce of coverage to it it makes them look even more biased than the already i think the tipping point might have been the arrest of the mass arrests of nearly eight hundred people peaceful protesters on the brooklyn bridge that took place i know you've been very outspoken about it and of the police brutality i think that very much what police brutality when it hit the when it hit the internet became viral because you saw a bunch of defenseless people that were simply expressing their freedom. to speak their mind in a public place then they were penned off then they were sprayed down they were obviously not in danger of harming any police officers and then all of a sudden you see white shirts coming out warm warthen and seemingly unable to be held responsible for anything that they do almost as if they're above the law and that is very exemplary of exactly what has continued to fuel the fire
8:34 am
here at this protest the fact that people that are on wall street people that are in government are refusing or i should say is that all of them but a lot of them are refusing to acknowledge their responsibility and what caused all this you know this didn't come from nowhere people didn't just decide to get up and be angry about nothing people who are seriously concerned about the direction that our democracy is going i want to ask you about something that new york city mayor michael michael bloomberg said about this demonstration he said that these protesters are trying to destroy the jobs of working people in new york city mayor michael bloomberg said that this demonstration is not productive do you think that this is. an illustration of disconnect what do you think about no i think that's a perfect illustration of a connect his connect to wall street bloomberg is what seventy five percent or about owner of bloomberg l.l.c. has a sixteen billion dollars stake or so down the wall street this is business of course
8:35 am
he feels threatened and he's going to do whatever he can including making the police more and more confrontational to elicit the type of negative response that he wants from these protesters he wants to goad them into violence he wants to make them argue amongst one another he wants to find issues of race religion sexual orientation whatever he possibly can him and people like him to exploit people that are coming here who just simply want to express themselves how is this anything but a democratic expression of freedom of speech and democracy is something very alien to that fraud mr bloom. what should we do should we just we just completely ignore i would god given right to assemble here and to question our government we're not anti-american we love america and we refuse to see it destroyed by the same people that have been corrupting it for the past countless number of years i believe that there are lots of people that are willing to put up mr obama's second term on the altar of democracy if he's not willing to listen to the same group of people that
8:36 am
were honestly trying to believe in the words he was saying when he claimed. that he was going to change things in this country which haven't changed too much honest well this is clearly going to become a part of the twenty five election season this is gotten so big it has spread so far and wide u.s. president barack obama did speak about this and said he understands the frustration of those taking part in not sure i'm following why these frustrations and you know in two thousand and eight this country was ready to go up in office obama was not the the great unifier he was the great pacifier. he came in here and said no it's going to be ok i'm going to take care of all this it's a clear of all of this this is not hatred towards him this is not a denigration of him as a man but he knows the system he has to stand up for because he's tied to it to what makes the momentum nationally that the u.s. to step aside from the occupation aside from the visual what do people need to do
8:37 am
when we start costing them money when we start bleeding them down that's when they get the message that's when they get it through their heads oh my god no they've discovered the magic way to deal with us all the problem here be is that i see a lot of potential i see potential that needs to be harnessed i see people that i understand the reason they have an elected leaders but i think that there should be more spokespeople that go out and have the actual core message of this group that realize that the corruption that has existed in this system would be. look at this nation they see republicans completely in the hands of corporations democrats pandering to them nonstop we see them also involved now to the president as part of expanding war was expanding occupations not standing up for human rights you know being blind about several global issues that are important to people here because they reflect on our democracy what we do outside of america defines our democracy
8:38 am
here i've seen a lot of people online suggest that this movement if they were to take some action should go so far as to either pull their money out of banks or stop using credit cards that's not i'm not promoting any ideas here while asking this question but it is something that has been suggested do you think that the second idea is a lot better than the first job using a credit card and i think even though we have to have a cohesive strategy to pull this together i think that there's a lot of real brainstorming that needs to happen because if we make one move we need to be focused on what moves will be made against us you know this is a chess game just like the united states chess game in the middle east where they're willing to give up a few pawns but what they really want to pieces they're willing to trade a few lame duck presidents because what they really want is the main characters of the bill you know they're willing to trade the foreign bengalis get out of the support. the other guy used to be a player mubarak became
8:39 am
a pawn what do they want. the bishop gadhafi gone. now they want the queen iran out of the secu chess game i don't think that they're not playing that here. we have to not only be focused on what the next move but what the reaction to what their reaction to our next move is we have to think ahead of the game which is why i said there should be more brainstorming sessions here and i'm not so sure they should always be in public because i think honestly that we're not the only ones watching this would be a fool to think that there aren't people involved here. around this area that aren't sleeper cells or agents that's not me being paranoid that's just the truth you know the first person the first black person to ever work for the secret service agency was agent eight hundred his job was to infiltrate the movement of marcus garvey if they were thinking like that back then why wouldn't they be thinking like that and i think what's most important is that we don't get
8:40 am
frustrated or angry or upset or lack the patience to be able to deal with this movie there was a there was a sign out here that said you know police offices you're one bounced check away from being out here with the rest of us to look at a lot of people that they're angry they're screaming at cops but you're going to stand there just working class individuals whose their boss the mayor the mayor is get money with wall street he's literally. he's closer to wall street than america's there's room in on him and. that's that's his home and those are his people when they die you pours out a little liquor for them so when he says something to the police commissioner the police commissioner says something to the white shirts and the white shirts kick down to the soldiers it's similar to what we see in the most brutal parts of the occupation of iraq and afghanistan the most brutal parts of that war soldiers held accountable for terrible things that have happened within the confines of the war but no officers no generals nobody that implemented these policies nobody that said
8:41 am
hey you know what take him into the back and how does hands off until he tells me what i want to hear or raipur till she can't stand it so she gives us the information that we want but that's only attributed to the contractors to the soldiers not to the upper levels not to the cia memos not to the people that wrote them which is why when i look at cops this is a certain amount of cynicism that i have when people say oh they're all evil they're all we can know they're not evil they're all we can they're people that are innocently following orders and if they don't follow orders they lose their job like the sign says they're one bounced check for being right here with the rest. us too and i think that's also a big difference between this movement and between the arab spring it's the difference is that in the arab spring there was a concentrated force of security forces whether it be military or national guard that decided to join with the move because those were the people they were literally saying well these are the people that i'm being told by my government that i have to go to war with other countries to protect and yet now i'm being told
8:42 am
to attack and kill the same people at some point everybody has to question what they're doing and why they're even here what they're doing in their job if they're being expressive their democracy and a greater question what did they ever really do to be considered an american. if you fall out of a pool in new york or new jersey or kansas that's why you're an american that you have a stand up for your human rights and your civil rights that you have a question of government and trying to infringe on your civil liberties did you ever try to reform a government that's done nothing but in this country dry stealing from people constantly. if people come here from the opposition people love consistently been a part of taking advantage of the people that are here that are upset at what we're doing because it exposes what they've been doing this whole time which exposes the corruption behind closed doors then we know we're on the right and i'm telling people right now that i'm going to continue to come back down here to this movement i was here when it started i won't be here when it finishes because it's never
8:43 am
going to finish because we can never stop reforming our democracy the moment that we stop reforming our democracy it ceases to be a democracy the moment that the revolution stops that means the revolution has been betrayed we're here to stay and we're not going anywhere. the beaches and discover its beauty. communicate with you want to. test yourself and become free. nature can give you an auntie.

footballing calendar is undergoing a radical change to bring them in line with the rest of europe. field formats often put russian clubs competing in europe at a disadvantage as once they reach the latter stages of the champions league all the europa league this season was here to start. however the remainder of the continents were already halfway through their campaigns and were in a much better position but it will help us immensely moving to the new calendar clubs found it difficult previously to compete with the top clubs around europe in the latter stages of the european competition is however things should now be a lot easier for us what has to be put on a level playing field the clubs will carry on playing until the end of the current championship in mid november and every team will replace thirty games however then there will be a split with two games taking place in november and the remaining twelve from march until may two thousand and twelve after a four month winter break confused well if you take

a look at the current table and of the clubs remain in the same positions of the end of the season the top eight so that xeni to angie would play each other home and away and fight it out to see who is eventually crowned champion and who qualifies for europe. however at the other end that's close no doubt tome again they would play each other twice with two teams relegated to first division when the season eventually finishes i'm a really good but it will be really hard for the clubs at the start as we will have to play a lot of league games as well as trying to fit in european competitions as well but in the end it will be worth it because we'll be on a similar calendar to those clubs playing in the majority of europe that have been concerns about the new calendar putting the clubs at a disadvantage could be unpredictability of russia's weather conditions however these fears should prove to be unfounded and you championship will cover pretty much seen the sort of currently used because of the winter break and on the
