we should make speculations just because the boy can't explain what happened born in the volgograd region in one nine hundred ninety eight his adoptive parents moved to the dominican republic in two thousand and four a year later they return to russia turning their backs on dennis and leaving him with the local from day to suit gave him this time to move from but not before tuesday and punished him the thing is that he behaved badly it was terrible but only because his parents and sisters left him and he stayed all alone in the house they even left him without meals as a punishment so one day and neighbor saw it and decided to report it last years adoptive russian parents when prison for cocaine trafficking that led a court to come to the adoption decision since his return possible evidence of abuse has been found a note on the presidential twitter page said that scars on the boy's head indicate he was beaten now an investigation is looking into why denise the now to be adopted by such a young parents in the first place and what really happened in the milk in the

public the most implausible of course not every adult can survive what he went through the russian adoption agency committed a crime letting drug dealers adopt the boy that's the 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. r.t. moscow ukraine's constitutional court reverses constitutional amendments adopted after the orange revolution in two thousand and four this moves strengthened trenton's president viktor yanukovych has power over parliament. has more from kiev . it is back to basics for ukraine spall attacks 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

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 the russian state own the space manufacturer called energya the ending here makes the soyuz capsules a ship space crews 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 this project here's more from the c.e.o. 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 and we'll have to large windows so that everyone can look at it or some of the stars space tourists and also there are times. it's a great view from up there the colors are incredible our station 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 who are now to launch a play based on the marshall space station slash told to help is twenty six thousand 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 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 no emergency the members could go to the commercial space station as good as headed 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 outside 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 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. on the other side of the atlantic in the u.s. congress approves nasa two thousand and eleven budget which also provides funds for the development of commercial space flights and a legislative body wants private firms to keep up the pressure in orbit space entrepreneur jeff manber says competition in space is good for mankind for 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 human history our. will be going to an asteroid i find that incredibly exciting we have long argued finally breaking down the centralized government space programs there's going to be competition it's going to be hotels going to be games in space and it's just going to be a call time with who designed for people to relax play and think sort of have a 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 though they'll be spiritually interesting. opinion there from space entrepreneur jeff manber next martin andrews is here to take us on another trip around some of the most fascinating places in the russian capital tranquility mixed with entertainment is the theme in this
