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 demand to the country's main court of laws made in december two thousand and four during the election battle between. 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. the country's political system but it's the nature of these amendments were done which was questioned by both the ruling party of regents and the constitutional court it was not that the pronounced amendments to the constitution approved on the eighth of december two thousand and four to be unconstitutional. to lead to. 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 shorty came from president on the call which ever since he took office in fabry twenty ten has been trying to change the political landscape of ukraine and. this decision is seen as the final step in and from now on which. is very important 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 he chooses to do so the two thousand and four political reform transferred several very important powers from 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 dissolutions of parliament and reelections former country's leader president. tried to abolish these changes on several occasions but he failed to do that now after he found himself in opposition key change 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 the country's parliament elected according to the constitution of two thousand and that means that we are going to demand an immediate resignation of the president and the prime minister 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 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 be able to convert to the old constitution of one thousand nine hundred ninety six. reporting from ukraine's capital kiev. next tonight spending a holiday on a remote islands probably as far away as it gets but maybe not for much longer because a russian firm is promising to transform space into the ultimate tourist getaway indeed they're working on the world's first hotel. reports. they say it's the real deal that's according to the sea of the russian private company orbital technologies and he points to several multi-million dollar contracts signed between his company and though the russian state owned space manufacturer called energya the ending here makes the sole use capsules as ship space crews and their supplies to the international space station and back and reportedly there are russian and american investors willing to put millions of dollars behind this project here's

more from the c.e.o. that's of the 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 stars 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 hotel will be designed for people who think. now the launch date for this commercial space station slash told to help is twenty six thousand and it's meant to accommodate seven people six being 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

a lot of money to get things built to get this hotel launched and then 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. you know station a reporter there may be able to start saving for it now a well meantime 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 agency's already working on replacing the space shuttle fleet which will be grounded next year congress also the ones private firms to keep up the pressure and all that space entrepreneur jeff member says competition in space is a good step for mankind but house voted two 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 means will be going to an
