barents moved to the dominican republic in two thousand and four a year later they returned to russia turning their backs on denis and leaving him with a local family they too soon gave him up this time to an orphanage but not before a cruise they hit and punished him the thing is that he behaved badly it was terrible but only because his parents and sisters left him he stayed all alone in their house they even left him without meals as a punishment so one day and they were sore and decided to report at 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. not every adult can survive where he went through the russian adoption agency committed a crime letting drug dealers adopt the boy that's

a subject of our future investigation but hopefully all the bad things are in the past now dennis will now be able to resume his life in russia after his five year absence will have to really learn his native language and rediscover life here but it's hope that he'll receive a lot more care in his next five years than he did in his last five tom watson r.t. moscow coming up in the program tonight the dramatic rescue of ecuador's president who escaped from a hospital after being trapped there by a rebel police find out why they why some believe the u.s. was behind it a little later. first though ukraine's president said a power boost after the constitutional court reversed reforms that had it controls to parliament six years ago it said the changes were illegal in violated several laws. got more tonight from here. it is back to basics for ukraine's 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 a bullish commandments for 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 will 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 these amendments were done which was questioned by both the ruling party of regions and the constitutional court that the pronounced amendments to the constitution approved on the eighth of december two thousand and four to be unconstitutional were approved. many times the pollution of the amendments is affected 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 called 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 if you choose or used to do so the two thousand and four political reform transferred several very important powers from the president to parliament or cording to authors of the reform this was meant to make ukraine stronger and more politically structure arised eventually according to those who initiated the changes. this time this did not happen on

several occasions political crisis led to dissolution of parliament and reelections former country's leader president you should 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 of 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. r.t. reporting from ukraine's capital kiev. i spoke to read a cobra skier from the moscow based institute of world economy and international relations she told me she doesn't believe the ukraine constitutional court decision will lead to a political. ukraine is rather tired of political crisis nonstop political crisis for many years and much will depend on economic situation there is a certain a consensus between present here and of each and some of the governors he has strong support in the parliament eve president he had a club which manages to improve economic and social situation i do not think that political restructuring and there will be political restructuring in fact will cause the crisis because the opposition in ukraine political opposition is rather dicom solid aided if he fails in economic sphere well that is of course the

consequences may be may be far going through nicol brinn skier spending a holiday on a remote island is probably about as far away as it gets for now but maybe not for long because a russian firm is promising to transform space into the ultimate tourist get away did the work of the world's first orbiting hotel reports. they say it's the real deal that's according to these c.e.o.'s of the russian private company orbital technologies and he points to several multimillion dollars contracts signed between his company and it though the russian state own space manufacturer called energya the end of here makes the soyuz capsules a ship space crews and their supplies to the international space station and in reportedly there are russian and american investors willing to put millions of dollars behind this project here's more from the c.e.o. . 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 large windows so that everyone can look at it or on the star's space tourist spend most of their time taking photos it's a great view from up there the colors are incredible our solution will be much more comfortable than the eye a service which is basically an industrial facility in space our space or tile will be designed for people. and 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 loser is definitely part of it they want to get 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 djibouti longevity 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 the commercial space station as to heading 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 base exploration has has gone to. 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 say 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. stacy bourbons reporting on the story will be telling the u.s. is also joined the race to commercialize space congress has voted for billions of dollars to be pumped into nasa is projects the agencies are already working on replacing the space shuttle fleet should be grounded next year but congress also wants private firms to keep up the pressure in orbit space entrepreneur says 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 and cargo to space it means that nasa should work on a permanent presence of humans beyond low earth orbit of things will be going to 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 so they'll be spiritually interesting. could be the shape of the holidays to come as more of that online r t dot com as well as all the other stories we're covering and a chance to have your say as well there's a few lined up her getting a lot of hits tonight on the home page r t v dot com after moscow is there a show the door by the president i use now called turning to who could take on one of russia's most powerful position that's on line tonight at r.t. dot com also want to hold wagers we present the bridges of moscow county an amazing array of them in the russian capital to take for granted but they're beautiful if you look closely all the different designs and dimensions take it to the most spectacular wins without leaving the house become a bridge aficionado one on mind tonight. and one music in the food of love for

so that we start with modern wonders next hour here out to the present time to check out the business news next step. hello and welcome to the business but a ten president medvedev visit to china this week put the seal on a number of new energy deals then again have been drawn out at least where gas contracts are concerned with us still more to do but as medina cochon of the reports there's now a greater sense of urgency. china is the fastest growing energy consumer in the world and in russia its neighbors the biggest energy provider and it's a business smash this crying out to be mate the deals have been a long time in the making finally this week in quest put on the dotted line what was a surprise is that we didn't see reciprocal deals from china you know it's quite

clear to russia went down there looking to barter energy and materials exports to china in exchange for some commitment for investment into russia's new industries into infrastructure into technology etc and there was any mention of that whatsoever gazprom has agreed to supply thirty billion cubic meters of gas and only to china over thirty years starting from twenty fifteen to make it all happen the gas giant also announced it would start building a new pipeline to china next year diversifying its customers is a significant ambition for russia it provides a hedge against a drop in demand from a year up in the event of an economic slowdown so more kids have a way of going inside. the reason that growth is so strong in asia right there is because they are buying. centralized economy.
