aged nine hundred ninety eight his adoptive parents moved to the dominican republic in two thousand and four a year later they returned to russia turning their backs on dennis and leaving him with the local family they too soon gave him up this time to an orphanage but not before a cruise to the other. and punished him the thing is that he behaved badly it was terrible but only because his parents and sisters left him christine alone and the house the even left him without meals as punishment so one day in the bush saw it and the senator reported last year's adoptive russian parents were imprisoned for cocaine trafficking that led a court to cancel the adoption decision since his return more possible evidence of abuse has been found a note on the presidential ombudsman's twitter page said that scars on the boy's head indicate he was beaten now an investigation is looking into why denise was allowed to be adopted by such bad parents in the first place and what really happened in the dominican republic moshe not every adult can survive what he went

politics swiftly and almost unanimously the country's constitutional court decided to revert the country's political system back to the constitution of nine hundred ninety six the court of bullish commandments to the country's main court of laws made in december two thousand and four during the election battle between victory and victory on the court which the events which led to the famous orange revolution back then the changes entailed that the country would transfer from presidential to parliamentary republic and those changes were meant to structure arise the country's political system but it's the nature of how these amendments were done which was questioned by both the ruling party of regions and the constitutional court it was not that that you pronounced the amendments to the constitution approved on the eighth of december two thousand to be unconstitutional as when they were approved violated many times. of the amendments is effective immediately.

the decision by the constitutional court comes after several months of deliberation on whether the change was actually needed it was proposed by the ruling coalition in parliament but the initiative itself surely came from president which ever since he took office in fabry twenty ten has been trying to change the political landscape of ukraine and centralize power this decision is seen as the final step in that and from now on present which has several of his very important powers returned to him. the president used to have much less power in deciding who is going to be the country's prime minister as he was very much dependent on parliament after this decision you can more easily dismiss prime minister desire of if you choose to do so the two thousand and four political reform transferred several very important powers from the president to parliament or coding to authors of the reform this was meant to make ukraine stronger and more politically structure right. eventually according to those who initiated the changes this time

this did not happen on several occasions political crisis lead to dissolution of parliament and reelections former country's leader president. try to abolish these changes on several occasions but he failed to do that now after he found himself in opposition he changed his mind completely and criticizes the power saying that the constitutional court's decision may cause a constitutional chaos in ukraine the opposition in general is very critical of this move by the constitutional court. the country's president and the country's parliament who are elected according to the constitution of two thousand and four that means that we are going to demand an immediate resignation of the president and the prime minister and the dissolution of parliament and to hold early elections there is a saying in this part of the world that everything new is in fact a well forgotten old this is generally a joke but it seriously applies to ukrainian constitution the court's decision is

final undisputable and takes effect immediately the only question is how soon will the government and state bodies be able to convert to the old constitution of one thousand nine hundred ninety six. reporting from ukraine's capital kiev. who. believes the ukrainian constitutional court's decision saying signals a major shift in the country now. definitely this is a milestone you knew korean politics and it did come as a total surprise to me as it was already clear that the pendulum already moved in the opposite direction and after the years of constant disarray and spend of between the president and parliament ukraine is coming to a sort of a new city where. all the major power will be secured in the hands of the president and to definitely peace is a necessary precondition for you korean who here in development strategy ukrainian political elite realize that the current ensure stable economic groups you see

unless they have a strong power this decision ensures that president you know. all the rights just to go ahead with the economic reforms in the country but on the other hand if he overplays the situation then there is a risk of another turmoil we must understand that still they have a long way to goo and president you know which has to show that he is really a national leader who would be able to use all those newly emerging powers in of wise man to spend the holiday on remote island is probably as far away as it gets but maybe not for much longer a russian firm is promising to transform space into the ultimate tourist getaway they're working on the world's first orbiting hotel. as more. they say it's the real deal that's according to the c.e.o. of the russian private company orbital technologies and he points to several

multimillion dollars contracts signed between his company and though the russian state owned space manufacturer called energya the ending here makes the soyuz capsules a ship space cruiser and their supplies to the international space station and bath and reportedly there are russian and american investors willing to put millions of dollars behind it as a project here's more from the c.e.o. so though we've been working on this project for a while now much of the equipment and modules we'll use have already been created so we're not exactly reinventing the wheel the hotel should be cozy enough for seven people and we'll have two larger view screens so that everyone can look out of the earth and the stars space tourists spend most of that time taking photos it's a great view from up that the colors are incredible i was station will be much more comfortable than the i.x.'s which is basically an industrial facility in space our space hotel will be designed for people. now the launch date for this commercial

space station slash told to help is twenty sixteen and it's meant to accommodate seven people six being a space travelers and one being a crew member leisure is definitely part of it they want to give a phenomenal experience to those who are willing to and can afford and will afford to pay such a high price for an out of this world experience but this high private public partnership is also looking at long jeopardy on jeopardy and they're doing this and in a couple of ways first of all for the right now they want to be a supplement to their national space station so for example if there were an emergency the members could go to this commercial space station as stead of getting back to earth and they also want to be able to provide services for scientists conducting experiments for private companies and then further down the road once space exploration has has gone a. they want to take people out of orbit and perhaps may be able to take them to the moon and to planets that we haven't been to yet now they said that the cost is

approximately what you would pay to get. on a rocket to the international space station so millions of dollars they know there is no discount for this adventure and they say that look it's going to cost a lot of money get things going even though we aren't reinventing the real wheel so to speak so it's going to take a lot of money to get things built to get this hotel launched and to operate it so it's not going to be cheap but they're hoping to recoup a lot of that cost by having hundreds of visitors go into space every year. reporting for us that the u.s. is also doing the race to commercialize space congress has voted for billions of dollars to be pumped into nasa as projects the agency is already working on replacing the space shuttle fleet which will be grounded next year congress also wants private firms to keep up the pressure in orbit space entrepreneur geoff nunberg says that competition in space is a good step for mankind perhaps voted to follow the senate and the white

house got about seventy percent of what it wanted it means that it's now american policy that lower earth orbit will be commercial you'll have private companies ferrying people in cargo to space it means that nasa should work on a permanent presence of humans beyond low earth orbit and means what we go into an asteroid i find that incredibly exciting we have long argued finally breaking down the centralized government space program so it's going to be competition it's going to be hotels going to begin in space and it's just going to be a call time so that we design for people to relax play and think sort of how big plate glass windows they'll have you know things to where you can move around they'll have media centers so you can record things that they'll be spiritually interesting. but you know from spokesman for jeff. combs always got more of the stories we're covering of course is what else we got lined up for you tonight after moscow's mare was shown the door by the president are used now to
