nation african american children. and sentenced to secretion india's millions of widows of bandon by their families you connected by society. are you watching on t.v. broadcasting live from moscow welcome to the program. the ballots are in the historic parliamentary poll which international observers have praised as being fair and free but there are still some doubts among opposition politicians on election watches that there were violations which could overshadow the next government's attempts to the just as itself of the following the election for r.t. to go pissing off in the southern city of osh and italian over cobra in the capital bishkek tell you first to you what exactly are the claims being made about the

weekend bout it. well some members of the opposition claim that they believe this election was unfair they say that they have seen people here voters here being dragged around town from one polling station to another and being forced to vote several times one of the opposition leaders school has also said that at least three cases have been filed on the matter of violations that have taken place during the elections and a russian parliamentary delegation of observers has proved that the legitimacy of this election is something that still needs some deeper digging to do before claiming that the election was fair that despite the fact that according to preliminary reports by the international observers here there lection has gone smoothly but russian observers have found violations that should be looked into. their impact on the selection for example there has been an unusual splash of activity among voters here in kyrgyzstan one hour before the ball has ended and

washing observers have found that suspicious a so for ninety percent of the eighty percent i'm sorry all the votes have been counted and none of the record number of twenty nine political parties registered for this election appear to be natural leaders and that is because most of those parties have rather similar political agendas so very. few people hear or rather confused which party to vote for now only five or six of them can make it to the parliament but if the votes are equally divided between the parties that might perhaps weakness a similar parliamentary stalemate here in kyrgyzstan as we have seen any crane when the country's parliament couldn't form a government coalition. ok well let's turn to the southern city of osh now which witnessed horrific ethnic violence in the summer is there for us now what's the situation there as the town to get. where we are now is.

a city and it's also. one of the most unstable places in the country unexpectedly on sunday it showed the biggest voter turnout in the entire country and that was really unexpected and so surprisingly because of this place being so unstable just because of the jews advance the violence which. runs the city for several for several days leading to the deaths of hundreds of people several thousand others were injured and thousands more had to flee their homes but despite this and there were fears that the violence could return as the most voting is held the voting was held in a calm fashion and not a lot of people were on the streets on sunday and dean was relatively calm as well although i did speak to some of the representatives of the market lieschen since this ethnic violence was basically caused by the fact that this city is divided

into the various. and they had these ethnic clashes between each other and you'll call was vexed for me that allegedly many of them were going to vote reporting leaking into the polling stations and couldn't find a means on the electoral lists so very issue still has to be cleared out because the international observers will present here at these elections did we confirm any of these reports another issue here because this police is still really unstable the atmosphere is still quite tense and traditionally the south of the country including the city of supports one. party and we did hear these rumors and speculation yesterday that if this party didn't pass then protest rallies mass protest rallies allegedly were possible over the board here and in the capital bishkek but so far according to the latest exit polls this party is really leading in the election so. at the moment if the situation don't just stay the same. these

supporters of the party are not likely to come out to the streets but we are still waiting for the official results to be announced and so we'll have to see how the situation develops here waiter in the day. ok are you go pissing off an italian or keeping abreast of the stans parliament should actually thank you both. well andrew mcentee former european security observer in kurdistan says it's now a question of whether there will be a fair transition of power. somehow in the political culture it's felt that while the power is being taken away from the presidency towards the parliament to get into the parliament nevertheless the prize is the presidency so that's a curious situation the question is will there be a real cultural shift politically and in the way that government is run will it be open government will it be good governance in the sense of transparency so that any

potential corruption is a stunt. or will it be the usual that for example a majority government will be the new regime which has just taken over the transition government and they were marginalized completely those who are supported by if there was an associate on dawson and but. leaving some instability there these are questions which really have to be to be answered maybe in a week or two as time. you know with r.t.i. still ahead for you we report from india's city with this. life is not easy for we do on the fringes of hindu society yet they're all going to vision is working to overcome centuries of prejudice to give readers a chance to live with dignity. using their husbands and then abandoned by their families as a refuge. around half of true or not for adoption in america black their chances of finding a family are remarkably slim compared to white children part of the blame is being

put on white couples who would rather spend thousands of dollars to find a caucasian child and accept a black orphan into their home artie's going to church you can experience. people like to emulate their showbiz i don't speak bay don't seem to be following the stars when it comes to adopting children many still see things in black and white color was not an issue with this family when they adopted illinois we were much more interested in having you know getting a child for his free that was our primary focus we really weren't interested too much in what the child looked like a. little you know why is one of very few black children in america adopted by a white family a study carried out by a group of economists suggest that african-american babies are five times less likely to be adopted then children have any other race some say one reason for this is misrepresentation of the black community in the media when you see things on television and you often see our children portrayed in a very negative way well that has

a connotation for individuals that may be interested in adopting and while we have come a long ways in this country racism is still prevalent sandra says families need to be prepared before they decide to adopt a child of color and once a child goes into african-american child goes into a family that is caucasian that family is no longer caucasian that family becomes a family of color at that point ok so the whole family dynamics change it seems not a whole lot of adoptive parents in the u.s. are willing to change their family dynamics most want their adopted children to look more like them and the majority of parents willing to adopt in the united states are caucasian but almost half of the children available for adoption are black a report here says parents were willing to pay thirty thousand dollars more for a non african-american baby well it wasn't even if you look around your table and your guests are all of the same color then you shouldn't be adopting a child of

a different color. race doesn't seem to be an issue for thousands of americans who go to china or india to adopt. but when it comes to domestic adoption color makes a difference while there are still signs of prejudice in the american adoption field there is no prejudice in this home seventeen month old queen was adopted by two moms we've had to face challenges that straight people don't want this. for the job they chose to raise their two adopted children in a very ask nikolay diverse neighborhood or a racist and they are here too but i think in another part of the country it's worse so here people don't even bat an eye oh as. a black boy yeah whatever obviously. parents they came to the adoption agency put their second child also african american by and large our family is largely of irish english german descent

team the president of the t.v. bank andre causton so the role of the much ing markets is increasing. the changing role or emerging markets of countries including russia china brazil india in the national the quantum me. they're playing more in the more important role. in the couple of decades probably they will take on the me will surely be larger than they call me. well developed countries venture capitalists from silicon valley led by the governor of california arnold schwartz nega coming to moscow to visit its russian namesake in skolkovo invest as many of russia can boost its high tech sector if it focuses on the business model not blind imitation. all the countries in the world would like at some point to

replicate silicon valley i personally don't think that silicon valley the replicated the other elements which work elements are good education science centers entrepreneurs of course investors. but always something which puts it all together and would imagine the. if these are replicated it should work anyplace in the world obviously in russia where this huge talent. the money in charge of the scope of a project why russia needs a new scientific innovation but it already has so many universities and science institute. the main task of school cool is to bring technology into the market into the russian economy. which will be focused on this that's why nobody should. exist the research centers or is just a lot of existing univision. and now let's take

a quick look at how the markets are performing in the nikkei is close for a public holiday on monday in hong kong one hundred percent is rallying for a sixth straight session. leaving the games on expectations of further u.s. monetary easing and the russian markets ended friday fashion down for a second day as crude and metals prices fell. calley were among the main losers shedding more than two percent of my sex gas problems the only came up around half a percent of tackling. what the start of reporting season this week is set to be an important one for investors. explains. the key events that will be looking forward to doing this week will be the earnings season in the united states the major u.s. companies intel general electric j.p. morgan will be announcing their third quarter earnings which likely will be the

final kind of guideline for investors as to the state. of finances at major u.s. companies at the state of their financial health and usually companies when releasing their results still so common on their outlook and saw to a large degree the overall picture of how two thousand and ten has shaped up for major u.s. companies is going to become clear in the next couple weeks of this week we'll see if they said the reports from such major companies as general electric intel j.p. morgan and these these earnings coming out of major companies will definitely set the tone for the week not only in the u.s. but globally as well. russia topped europe's chart since september for the largest amount of retail construction underway but even though it's a past herky and fronts we tell us say the size their creation and number of shops remains inadequate that's a heck of reports. with dozens of shopping centers constructed in the past decade

you might think russia is well stocked with retail outlets but you'd be wrong big retail chains are poorly represented across the country and small retailers what americans call mom and pop stores struggled to find shop space. the share of big players in various sectors of retail is now only about six percent this market is far from consolidation obviously the regions are more inclined to develop local brands and large retailers have more power for buying and promotion so i think up to seventy percent of all trade will be in the hands of big companies within the next seven years. property specialists say russia needs to build more shopping space for large chains and crack down on disorganised outlets and down door markets but that can come from management development group says rush respond to copy europe. the situation in russia is ridiculous by building endless morals where not meeting demand because our country is fundamentally different we

have a large distances and lack of trading space in residential areas but nobody seems to care about that building morrison hypermarkets is more profitable and it's easier but we need a diversified retail market with street outlets and individual merchants only then will small business be able to thrive. as a. third of russia's g.d.p. passes across the shop counter last year the country's trade turnover approached five hundred billion dollars half of that is spent on food and other argument for local shops are now out of town shopping centers dominate retail construction in russia and it's likely to remain at the top of europe's construction league. business r.t. . so the business news for this hour but of course you can always find most or if you log on to our web site that's r t dot com slash business. i am.
