with the sentiments the same they both would keep universal credit i mean obviously teething issues is quite a thing to say when so many people so many people are in pain i understand there's a lot of privatization outsourcing deloitte having to go through the quarter because of a 1000000 or 80 firm queen movie got 3000000 for a t. do you think we should give. out tools in contractors and d.w.p. little and raise me a break so said the figures i've been astonishing to disability groups in particular have seen the amount of money you mention the things you mentioned 600000 going into privatized and yet the system is still in such distress and the teething problems that jeremy hunt mentioned is probably referencing a d.w.p. own report which said that some cases universal universal credit did cause financial difficulties but some are going to even further linking it to 2 rise and set and even suicides. even p.c.'s the union represents

workers in the d.w.p. has asked for the policy to be scrapped and replaced well we had sure the wife of the former prime minister tony blair on about arbitrated tension in the un special rapporteur she said the un doesn't have an army what does it is anything going to happen because philip alston is complaining about universal credit rights to a lot of activists this is the issue because this is now the 5th un report into possible austerity linked to human rights violations that the un have issued and it kind of it's also parallel because recently there's been an opportune torturers come to the u.k. to investigate the case of julian the sanj his conclusion was that julius and had been psychologically tortured he was equally dismissed by the government philip alston has shown frustration with the fact that he's been dismissed he wrote an article independent last month saying i proved it will sterrett it destroys lives and all the government has done is try to discredit me i mean it's slightly disturbing in the context of the report which has some incredibly pressing quotes he found that 40000000. people living in poverty rising infant mortality rates

falling life expectancy food bank usage skyrocketing rising homelessness an overloaded and struggling schools in place this is he said most of these problems are the direct result of government policies in his final report and may accuse ministers being in a state of denial about policies like universal credit and broad responded like this we are not so pads we don't think we can design as we try to adjust universal credit for the benefit of everybody but that sort of language was totally inappropriate and actually discredited a lot of what he was saying she was supposedly going to lodge a complaint with the un about the report but i also d.w.p. and they haven't yet found whether or she did that they did however give me this statement saying the un's own data shows the u.k. is one of the happiest places in the world to live and other countries have come here to find out more about how we support people to improve their lives therefore this is a barely believe full documentation of britain based on a tiny period of time spent here it paints a completely inaccurate picture of our approach to tackling poverty you find that full statement online maybe if you can get in touch with going underground tell us

how happy they are on universal credit jolly good thank you if tomorrow's universal credit figures demonstrate anything it will be class division a concept painfully clear to our next guest the royal ballet school's youngest ever principal ballet dancer before dropping the establishment to go solo surrogate balloon grew up you know arguably i.m.f. destroyed ukraine going underground went to 20 studios in east london to ask one of the greatest dancers in the world about challenging class division through art thank you so much for inviting us to the dance studio before we even get to the italian too or the premiere of romeo and juliet in verona what do you think about the critics here in britain do they fear you wouldn't you want to be in your reaction to your palladium shows i don't really know what to think about it it's it's an interesting observation and a few times they stop me you know going forward in a way you know i can afford to buy a good but critics can really ruin support that you have to begin with it was hard when you got but critics when you. time do something people still believe in the

new especially in the u.k. and that can be very very tough and i had few a few tough years that i had to prove to my team to the people around i will still carry the go and i believe in what i'm doing critics i think sometimes have agenda or have the way they work and it's not always helpful for art and artists in famous you rework some rite of spring stuff or when gaggle of cocteau and stravinsky were doing right or spring 100 or so years ago they booed that through has anything really changed is it to do with the way you've choreographed registering in the last. the 1st 4 i want to say the music is still relevant and it's and it's amazing and usually in ski and live over sleep over so inspiring still carries on the what they did many years ago and actually i don't know it's richard just people when they've done to this powerful music for 36 minutes

straight people get. recharged and it's it's a powerful piece actually powerful tool but again it's who you want to believe they want to believe audience everyone to believe critics and they judging they judging this new way you're doing radio spring or they judging the fact you left the royal ballet and didn't think it is so many many things i don't think they like the way i live or deal like. the freedom of it and also i left a star blish mint which they did punish me at certain times for and then also i didn't say good things about them either so it's like. you know i don't think they're a positive thing in the world and they don't think i'm a good. for the culture is a class thing because other parts of the world ballet is for the people arguably

we've covered it in cuba are we good latin america or in it's russia but over here obviously not so many people can afford the ticket prices but. is there a problem of out the ballet establishment in this country it isn't the way country is set up it's it's a little bit of a strict in the way it even by a lady it's restrictive you know you don't go 100 percent it's a little bit lower arms it's a little bit more cold so we see it there is like country i guess it has rules and you feel that and if you feel that in art also and then dunson and then different country have different different responses and different different understanding sometimes and i cannot say in england audiences are amazing in all of audience and that's why i'm coming back to england and coming back to u.k. a lot of the people and all of that wouldn't but the part of this is it's hard to.

penetrate that or change it and they don't want to change what is a jealousy envy we do think the class ridden establishment saw the viral video of you don't seem to the hozier track 27000000 views or whatever and thought they were somehow angry about the success of it what was going on there no let's show it but bali is for the rich you know it is a divide and divide in itself even more from normal people so it is a luxury thing to have and people actually don't want rich people don't want other people to have it you're going to ruin juliet premiering it in one of the best preserved ancient arenas on earth what do you expect to get that show in bruno in there on the for me i have goals in life you know and the one of the biggest goals was to perform. for arenas and to be able to freeze my own team is my own production to create a couple of work which is the most which is the hardest to pull on. you need to

have resources you need to have time you need to have teams you need to build sets . so 1st time i'm actually achieving these 2 big goals in classical ballet i will be done doing the classical work that everybody loves me doing and. you know i studied that in the hometown of the blood of romeo and juliet exactly and they happened by accident it wasn't like plot oh it's very wrong there's going to be romeo it wasn't just i want to to work with you one called burke who by chance wanted to the roman jew lit and i go invitation from the degree on the to do something at the same time and i and i was like oh this is a perfect opportunity to combine the 2 people who enjoy it who is now you know who listens to police mr rock they can easily come go there and and say that's cool that's great presumably you were a bit disappointed with these people as activists because you just mentioned brooke because they know that you're on the record for liking freddie mercury and jordan

and various other famous activists or the very you know what do you make of these activists trying to shut it down it does on the ground waters and actually some people don't want. let me into a tight end market it is a competition and certain people control the markets and they don't want other people to come in and suddenly to have this freedom of doing whatever they want to do who's going to say they know it's going to be bad but they put this rumors out and they happens to me quite often in the next year to this when it's competition other dancers go to direct and say this is my place you know minimal you know don't invite him because it's you know you're going into their territory and it's hard for this to accept it and i got kicked out a few times from the sea at this or help and to less color help and that done since i happened to part of it was nothing to do is my instagram when i was out there was

other dunces my instagram just gave them a little something to catch on to make a scandal out of it the but. one of the reasons i'm doing my own stuff it's to have freedom to do what i want and i want actually other dunces to have the freedom and the artists to just be able to create and do stuff obviously dunce is supposed to be completely controlled quiet and have no autonomy it. is true and this system is built so system that we tell you what to do we give them a lot to go to toilet you're not allowed to come on you know a lot to warm up you know it's very they dictate to you what they want and the country's on to be. so actually originated when the king of france he loved bali but they've done siskel downs for him where presence it didn't involve there's no management there's no agents there's no there's no freedom and. been abused like that dances have no right for anything and they don't know about it they live in

their bubble they think i'm a bad guy because i come out of their bubble but i see how much they've been taken advantage of because we've talked to hollywood actors who feel there's a bubble where you can say anything nice about donald trump even if you and you go under attack for seemingly wanting i don't know dialogue between putin whatever you know lead to say that either as a human beings we all have different opinions but as a collective mind we have to sting in one way and if you don't think that way you get kicked out that's been supported and to be honest a lot of people agree with me but collectively they have to go. and publicly say either way so again to somebody that move from surrogate bullied into after this break.

seemed wrong. just don't hold. any. just to come out to and engage with equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. well you know the cars they would have adopted because we were called pirates for so long. i mean they're in the small boats next to the hard pool of ships and it's still very. much up in. the little self to beak told fish already 90 percent of the dot need to fall in with connor. cons of 15 scoops 75 tons to 100 stored several times

a day with the big fleets and all you get an idea of why the ocean is full of fish . we have to understand we cannot stay still i would just. be with miss all the field warriors are ours. i'm doing this because i want the future world to the future can generations to have out and enjoy the ocean we have. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or somehow want to. have to go right to beatrice that's what the before 3 in the morning can't be good

that i'm interested always in the waters in the holidays. first of all. thousands of american men and women choose to serve in the country's military and the decision a little sheltered lives every function to be a complete. the day that i was raped to be instructed you know told to shut up but there. kill me and i see how destroyed my life any screamed at me and he made me come in and you can my on him and he write me with his birth thinking if you take into account that women don't report because of the extreme retaliation it's probably somewhere near about half a 1000000 women have now been sexually assaulted in the us military rape is a very very traumatizing tat happen but i've never seen trauma like i've seen from women who are veterans who have suffered military sexual trauma reporting rape is more likely to get the victim punished and be offended by hand and almost 10 year

career which i was very invested in and i gave a sex offender who was not even going to justice or put on the registry this is simply an issue of our in violence male sexual predators for the large part of target whoever is there to prey upon whether that's a man or woman. the world is driven by shaped by one person those with. no dares thinks. we dare to ask. welcome back i'm still with. what role does the media because the powerful have the

media or old people. although you have your own social media of media is strictly powerful and important it's a tool but yes they can look. there's many countries in the world so i. if for example england or america or any other country doesn't support me because. i am looking at the world as the world maybe the media is different from those people itself because you go indeed russian media has been a bit critical and what is going on in europe's largest country ukraine you are a birth place where are there some going to blacklisting going on ukraine yes i was unfortunately been blacklisted in ukraine when they were does that mean that you contact romeo and juliet to. a country and they want to take my passport away but they couldn't legally. before. election the new president of

ukraine that was before us before and it was because i performed in the crimean and i want to cross the border and then he stopped they stopped me actually they they help me one of the people in the cultural department in ukraine he called me and said do not cross the border because he will be taken or done singh. said yes. and that kind of kicked my thinking of it's like ok that's not right yeah i still cannot. go there which is shame because they have. grandmothers you are afraid about the rise of fascism in ukraine i think we live in there bit of a dark time where it is. bad it is a bit over powering. good and and i don't support russia because. it's russia like i see it as

a good. administrator and doing actually good in the world and that's why i decided to support them and you know it's controversial here in britain russia of course yes and i actually think you've brought britain and russia would get along. they could've been the war in the world is just 2 countries has 2 and the right. connection the outgoing prime minister teresa mayes is the russians killed people using chemical weapons. i mean this a lot of them thinks. it's going to give a do tonight i'm going to get into the film career in a 2nd but do you think ballet education is getting better since the days when your parents it just saves too much money for you to be educated know what's what's going to go about this is the case in this that you want to get out it's hunger of having the better life that you work hard and you don't want to stay there and you

don't want to come back that hunger made you work harder. than the rest because if you live in the comfortable conditions. why should i push what's a gold what will that for me was. and the scape and the opportunity. and that's why it works hard to you know to help the family and to help myself. and that gives you this. adrenalin the goal and the power to go forward what is it about ballet then that is so political because coco is associated with the french communist party we did something on this program about carlos acosta who was shocked everyone by going back to cuba after he was in london nuria of course used by the americans as a cold war tool why is it always ballet more than any other art form of gambling i mean the round ball is extremely important and influential people because it's

stayed there so around it it's business people politicians. it's important people actually around it. but also if you come back to the original of human nature you know used to be a sham and and then people used to worship him and stand around and see this one thing dunson who were who was a leader. and when people see you downs. they kind of worship you know they they put you in the different level and they listen to you and they they want to be like you or they inspired by you so you have the power of influence people but this sort of language than you had discovered fully. it's credible powerful language evidence of the readings the parties we just restrict ourselves where we tend and then we cannot dance. but there should be in our d.n.a. it is in our d.n.a.

we just need to use it. what's it done to you when you fight against those in power who want to use your power then as it doesn't i would like i like to help people who i think need help and i believe in you know i if i see an artist who needs help to be able to do a movie for example the movie i will give myself and my time to the person if i believe in that person if i believe in the politician that he's doing the right thing i will give my time and my vote and devotion to him but if you're an artist in the establishment wants to crush you would advise would you give that just. back or just. only think crush is yourself. it's you and yourself. nobody. nobody can do anything unless you start you start destroying yourself for example. if somebody says something and

knocked her or and you non-establishment wants to get rid of him he starts to drink he starts to take drugs he starts to kill himself basically and then he cannot come back either. if you know where you go and if you are. straight region if you're sober if you have amazing people around you who you have to trust him surround you can stop you. you build your own the stuff and having said that. big mainstream films do like you you would do in the orient express with kenneth branagh red sparrow just tell me about the new one has your sampler. in the shown simple a yes it's. amazing and direct. it's a story about love relationship between man french woman and russian. and it's it's a true story and it's. and it's very passionate and

a very good film i think is if i didn't mess it up. it's going to be amazing movie because everything was. top notch it was r t s camara workers and amazing luck trace and actors around me it was going to do more film i mean i did actually i should ask where there any of the performances of this version of romeo and juliet are going to be available video as well lou it is in the mind i would love to film it i would love to film it properly and i think dance language in the movie is going to be very soon big and it's going to happen soon and if you know going to jump on it somebody else will we be surprised when the viral video went out and people who might not normally watch ballet were always sort of used to it and there was a sort of. i was in the negative stated that that time and when they saw video i actually was disappointed and i thought oh well just about i did the opposite excess will know it just didn't happen just not good enough to me it was my dance

and and when they put it out when they put out on the youtube people for stuff to come on up to me and say oh this is amazing video and i was a politically say you know the. kind of i was a little bit embarrassed by it. suddenly i realized i have to go towards the light not. to be the bad guy but to be the good guy who inspires people that's to me was more effective and more powerful than you personally really were down it wasn't a case of stendhal of skimping no no it was and then actually the war was just starting to go in ukraine and i was crying for 9 hours during the video and it helped me thinking about this young man in the you know it's helped me the dishes during the sniper fire in the square. from ukraine yes and. yes that was good and then there was. suspected as provoking to us. and then there

was actually it was started to this useless war on the borders. and actually one of the people there who were as a crew member he went to fight and he disappeared forever so in donbass and in the northeast what do you think of the media coverage of all these sorts of events and because when you talk even about jean ukraine if you read the mainstream media reports here in britain they have rather a different view i don't think you can trust it and it's interesting travel and travel in the around the world because he she. he she different media coverage is and it's all different. and when it comes in will you forgive all these critics when you're here say back on top in riyadh will we see you not forgive them. when they're desperately trying to get an interview with you actually in

a few years there me i really am thankful that they're writing about me to me it's already amazing. so good than bad that it's like to be thankful that somebody actually stopped me. give me but they're saying it's terrible. now i don't that. doesn't affect me just was hard to years ago when i. didn't know that will help and and my team wasn't prepared and. establishment. listens to critic which is they don't make their own mind they listen to newspapers i don't know whether you call glastonbury the big music festival here one of the largest in the world and storm z. the grime the most mainstream crime story really came out and talked about ballet and racism in ballet. and you know with the designer not joe because he was talking about the color of a ballet shoes they were only one color for ages and ages signs of ballet is

getting more and more mainstream that it was up there and it still works as they worked 100 years ago i don't see that much. sort of. would change the way it's represent. it's very has many boundaries still many when you bones as. well though if you enjoy that episode of going underground we'll continue showing your favorite episodes from this season which we're back for a brand new season on wednesday the 11th of september until then keep it up via social media and don't forget our you tube channel these. pain your existence crosstown started as 10 years i think it's time to shake things up maybe change the branding maybe the format here is what i've been thinking about

things and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks.
