out of it and realized everything you thought you knew you don't know. the big picture. a vote of uncertainty the second phase of his beleaguered constitutional referendum begins and ends violence showdowns between his batteries and opponents. russia moves a step closer to banning child adoption by u.s. citizens will look at tragic cases of abuse where foster parents got away with surprisingly lenient punishments. i am tired of choosing to often israeli voters say they have had enough parliaments chopping and changing are when as they are asked to turn out again again.

when i am in the russian capital you're watching r t with me marina joshie welcome to the program it tipped us voting in the second round of the referendum on the draft constitution which is polarizing the country and which has triggered bloody street battles in key cities saturday's vote on the islamist infused documents which already won the approval in the first leg was preceded by and nother a flash of anger war and africa in cairo. millions of egyptians across seventeen governorates have headed to the polling stations today to vote in the second and final round of egypt's contentious constitutional referendum yesterday this once again was about to provide as we saw clashes in this in egypt's second city alexandria between those who are for the constitution very few against the constitution this happened of islam is staged

a hundred thousand strong rally in support of the constitution and implementation of sharia law the two sides hold rocks at each other they are cars and buses some saying these buses belong to the muslim brotherhood police intervened with take out leaving seventy seven injured so this obviously comes on the after several instances of violence is in alexandria and entire a few weeks ago in cairo and from the presidential palace rival groups clashed leaving ten dead in terms what people are saying here on the streets the country is divided so if you're against the constitution say would only enforce a presidential a dictatorship but it lacks a key social economic rights it was drafted by islamist dominated assembly there is for the constitution say it is essential for the progress towards democracy and that after the congress is dross they say we will have parliamentary elections in the first round of course the votes of people voted in fifty seven percent in favor of the constitution analysts believe that this will be another yes vote this is largely because of the seventeen governorates voting today many of them

a rule of cultural places where the muslim brotherhood have quite a strong support base of the seventeen voting today only three voted against the president in the presidential or in the presidential elections leading many to believe that this will in fact be a yes vote the opposition forces for that part say that the only reason it was a yes vote in the first round was due to votes rigging rights groups. document several cases of electoral violations including supervised polling stations feeding both rights groups on the opposition forces to call for a rerun of the first round of the referendum saying is actually null and void the issue digital supervision remains a point of contention here as thousands of judges continue to boycott the referendum it really will have to see the outcome of the results as they come in later on today in the early hours of tomorrow morning but definitely people expect by their own rest in the streets either way that both sides refuse to back down. whether this is a revolution second when or a side effect of political transition we've pinion an analysis on the latest on the

rest in edge of at r.t. dot com. now a five hundred dollar a penalty for disagreeing porpoises. jail time just a demotion pay cut that's all the punishment of a u.s. marine gets for you or an aging on dad taliban soldiers. also have brings increasingly cold feet over being in the e.u. and why it's rattling nerves across the atlantic. russia's lower house of parliament has passed a bill banning all adoptions of russian children by americans it's part of a larger document aimed at preventing human rights abuses of russians abroad. looks at the cases which raised the alarm with lawmakers. the adoption agreement the russian the us cited in the vampire was designed to provide mechanisms so far overside for russian children adopted by american families but moscow claims it is still being met with obstacles when it attempts to inquire an adopted children

still cool here are so many lies about the real conditions of children adopted by u.s. parents we have no idea what's really going on the united states does not do follow ups once an adoption is finalized once the adoption is finalized the child is considered the same as if you were born into that family one thousand russian children have died in the hands of their adoptive parents in the us in recent years there is untold numbers of children that are. enduring abuses that haven't been reported that haven't resulted in their that are just surviving the case of. alan who was adopted from russia. and she was placed in the home of a ted a file she was discovered because of a a child pornography sting and she told. reporters and

such that she waited and. every day you kept praying and believing that somehow the adoption agency that placed sure there would come back and check on her would even telephone and ask her how things were doing and she would have been able to tell them but nobody ever came to check on her much of the fury in moscow over the brutal treatment of adopted russian children has been driven by the leniency american judges have shown towards a number of abusers the adoptive father of two year olds in my jacket who was acquitted after he forgot the boy in his car for nine hours the toddler died of heat stroke the parents of russian born with annual craver have been released on bail after being convicted of involuntary manslaughter. the quavers have dodged a murder sentence even though investigators discovered that the child had suffered repeated beatings from his adoptive parents which left him with over eighty bruises and injuries of which twenty were to his head judges have also shown leniency in

cases of abuse which did not result in the death of the child jessica big lee received probation after she went on a popular t.v. show and bragged of how she disciplined her adopted russian child by systematically cramming hot sauce into his mouth and putting him under a cold shower russian officials say they were denied any access to another worsham boy who was allegedly abused by his foster parents according florida quote it that the cases of abuse of prompted reaction from russia's top political brass. the judges will not even let us attend the u.s. trials as observers at a time when the adoption rate in russia itself is low the situation of u.s. adoptions seems even more dire the u.s. accounts for around a third of all foreign adoptions in russia and there are hundreds of successful cases each year but the latest developments over whether that good work can continue the argument that if there's a flight is chance for an orphan to find a happy home they should be given that chance is on doubt it just is indisputable

seems the or given that there has to be more oversight over the well being of these children because with the way things are now dozens of adoptive children could be subject to abuse right at this moment and we may never find out in washington i'm going to. well gary banks are now lining up for a bailout of their own actions deb buyback scheme brings the injuries biggest banks to their knees and left with no choice but for another rescue. and brothel on makes his pick for the next secretary of state with hopes that john kerry could be the one to tell down america's military mind of foreign policy. or duct. and rank amateur five hundred dollar pay cut that's what it will cost a u.s. marine sergeant for disagreeing the bodies of dad taliban soldiers he was found guilty of year in aiding on them and posing with their corpses retired u.s. colonel and diplomat and wright says the people of afghanistan feel

a lot of dangar over american troops behavior oh i was in afghanistan last week and i talked to a lot of people in afghanistan and they are very. they are outraged about these things that are us military people have been doing to them the brutal slaughter of people i mean over and above that where you have sergeant bales' it has. killed sixteen afghans you have this incident of the u.s. military personnel all marines urinating on the the bodies of taliban you have the issue of the koran being burned on a military base so afghans are very upset about what the u.s. military is doing here president obama has nominated senator john kerry as a candidate for the job of the usa stop diplomat and he has now baron an anti-war

activist could take over from hillary clinton a promise to stand down next year ivan eland a fancy analyst and senior fellow at the in a pan is to believe kerry and tamper down washington's foreign policy. i think he's actually a better choice than susan rice i think he'll be more restrained in advocating u.s. military intervention since he was a vietnam war veteran now he's been for some wars but he he has been overall i think he's been a restraining influence on the on the u.s.s. chairman of the foreign relations committee and of course he has a lot of experience is combat experience in vietnam and many of the people who were in vietnam who john mccain is the big exception are more restrained in their foreign policy they're not as excited to see to send u.s. service men and women into harm's way and i think that that's probably a good thing at this stage that will go over a down and spending is seeing the united states hurdle towards

a fiscal cliff that'll trigger of widespread tax rises and government cuts on new year's day to tackle the fast approaching deadline congress members have gone on holiday lori garver has been out of find anyone thinks they deserve the break. as many hard working americans look forward to taking a break from the grind so does congress did they deserve a holiday this week let's talk about that we're talking today about congress because there's that take their break right now you're already rolling your eyes i've only just said the word awful it's awful what you can do they don't do anything and they're taking a break well yeah because that's what they do they don't do anything and they're going to do you think that they have been working hard enough to deserve a holiday never and i won't say anymore because it'll be

a bad word of those going to go on kick the can down the road a little bit for the next year yeah and nothing's going to change something may change with who's going to want to know about the deal with the next year so you work more than one hundred forty days a year so everyone deserves some time off the extent of it that's another story so yeah i do think they should get a break but with the fiscal cliff being what it is they should probably work through the holidays which do you think that they know what the answer is and they're just kind of posturing because you know republicans have to say that they're not going to raise taxes democrats have to say they're not going to make cuts but at the end of the day they're going to compromise absolutely they have to so what with this posturing bad enough of that why don't they just get real. i think part of politics is being reelected and so the politicians need to seem to their constituents. loyal and sometimes beyond reasonable bounds are we that stupid . some people are what the answer. i think the answer is is it is more more public

scrutiny of their performance or public involvement and in the process and does that involve more intelligent public to get involved better informed public and a public that is paying closer attention to what these people are doing so maybe a media that's less bought by corporate interests that keep feeding into the political reality that would be helped the bottom line is no congress does not deserve a holiday but they probably are going to enjoy more vacation then we commoners could ever imagine so just remember that if you take your measly vacation this year . while more world news on the way for you from our team off in just a few minutes stay with us.

if you're passing through rushes to the region you really can walk on the wild side thousands of kilometers of unspoiled countryside make up an area where it's still possible to live off the land such spectacular scenery makes it a paradise for fisherman and provides a business opportunity for hunter as there are defined hunting seasons in russia but lax enforcement means many animals are killed out of the a lot of times which can leave young animals orphaned and unable to survive the heart of just us forest provides a sanctuary for the most famous beast in russia it's home to a group to rescue wolf and bear cubs and raise them when they're old enough to fend for themselves the cubs attorney gets taken to a remote location and released back into the wild but it's not just bears who find a haven here. this is wolf island here wolf pups have been captured by hunters or

bought from zoos have a second chance at life and conservationists have a unique opportunity to observe them these walls are all around four months old and they'll stay in this area for up to three years then most will go back to the wild for good just viewing them from the car was an experience in itself but then after a bit of a bumpy ride came an opportunity i just couldn't pass up and this is where i was hoping for when i heard i was coming to a place called five and a chance to get close and personal with the locals and it's these guys are going to act as pasta parents for the next generation will come here using the older walls as a surrogate parents has already proved a successful technique. every year i place the infant wolves with one year old wolf cubs whose parental instinct is totally shaped and they take them as their own cubs it's going to continue to take time and money to rehabilitate the wolf's reputation in russia. but the keepers here hope their research and dedication will mean that

welcome back you're watching our view live from moscow israelis are expected to trudge back to the polling stations again next month in a parliamentary election that's happening earlier than planned now government has survived a full term in office for decades and us policy or reports voting fatigue is rife. call us money as you know him back in my political career now as minister of regional cooperation minister of agriculture minister of housing and construction minister of immigrant under the option and minister of justice i have even held this post simul tenuously it doesn't mean i am talented it just shows that the

system is so messed up. toys. it's a system that's been in place since the founding of the state sixty four years ago it's seen thirty four governments in sixty four years that's a new israeli government almost every two years and a new minister just as often in the last twenty years there have been twenty interior ministers fourteen foreign ministers and fifteen justice ministers and now more and more israelis are saying enough and joining a movement to change the political system as. a young citizen ghost elections so many times who starts to lose the sense that this is a democracy not been nothing of the past ten years voter turnout has decreased from eighty to sixty four percent with. kirillov's eventually as it was. but reforming the system is unpopular and has created controversy this online campaign by local celebrities shows that whenever someone tries to talk about it

they're interrupted. the motions are prime minister says he must call for elections because he can't pass the budget he's scared that his coalition members may bring down his government and we will act as if that's normal we really say there's no problem with our system. critics say israel's multi-party system gives too much power to smaller parties. we're going to show more that the system here weakens the political center and gives a lot of power to the sick to all parties ultra orthodox ultra rightists right wing extremists and so on and in fact the since it becomes a hostage to these marginal groups there is no democracy there's minor roots when crissy the minority rule with a majority for. another problem is that because government ministers change so often they can't plan i don't. bench a lot of sniping today

a minister in the state of israel serves for an average of one year until he understands the position and creates a vision and the long term planning he's no longer there. what many of these people want is a complete overhaul of the system with parliamentary elections slated for the mixture israelis are bound to see yet another round of deal making between parties who make up the next coalition but they told events is running thin with latest figures suggesting more than half the population is unhappy with its government's performance points here r.t. tel aviv. britain's resurgent euro skepticism is now even getting the us a little worried washington's afraid of losing its influential ally in the european union and is even a warning of consequences if the u.k. leaves the bloc but political analyst robert oulds says it's britain's business allow. i think the people in britain really will make their own minds up about

a future we don't need what to don't need to be told what to do by someone from another country be that the united states or or stall the president of the european commission for that matter really put president obama needs to understand is that the european union is actually damaging for you it's actually undermining the economy of different member states many member states are suffering a very harshly as a result of these economic policies policies which he has thought really rejected and he wouldn't like to be told how to manage his economy by an unaccountable bureaucracy like other countries in europe do countries in the eurozone are being told how to manage their own affairs having to go over to forced upon them so really he needs to perhaps learn a little bit more about the undemocratic nature of the european union before commenting. all for greece of the largest banks are queuing out for a bailout after posting huge losses this year the reason though could be their own government for lenders took hits during his stay dad buy back scheme greek economy

as dimitris bulles says it all use the country in even worse shape. it's not the banks that have failed it's. the economic situation that was created that has decimated the greek banking sector which was much. one among the most resilient. in europe it was not a member exposed to toxic instruments. fine but. that we had forty thousand small businesses closing closing these student loans and. unemployment rate of twenty six percent. so we have really on the one hand or straight into the other hand banks being the key to. provide liquidity for them up in chile a long running street battles over and you cation reform have seen more trouble in

the capital hundreds of students have again clashed with police there in what's been more than a year and a half of protest leaders of the movement say they're fed up with low standards the private universities students want a major victory two days ago when chile's justice minister with ties to one of the colleges was forced to resign over a corruption scandal there. a space capsule carrying three astronauts a success was docked with the international space station it took two days for the craft and they get into position four hundred since han kilometers above the earth the russian canadian an american crew have joined up with three others already at the station where they'll stay until march the rocket blasted off on wednesday from the baikonur cosmodrome in cavity. well after the break it's time for a corrupt bankers to take cover as max kaiser is on the warpath.

wealthy british style. markets why not come to. find out what's really happening to the global economy with max cause or for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune into kinds a report on our cheek. on the edge of human capability. struggling with pain and really. lay out to become the first. fours and fall in the.

world of. science technology innovation all the latest developments from around russia we've got the future covered.

max keiser welcome to the kaiser report it's been five years since the beginning of the global financial collapse governments are eating their own debt vomit central banks are smoking their own belly button lint and analyst still don't know whether we have deflation inflation hyper inflation since you haven't maxed maybe we have crazy felician that we're going to try to determine this will get a little bit closer to whether we have inflation deflation hyperinflation in this letter is laid down the fear of money fairy queens.

but it is a fun little difference there the central banking revolution will end in disaster this is what money week says and there are of course talking to the complete abandonment of any inflation target member for a few years there we've been pretending that central banks are independent that they are monitoring inflation trying to. maintain the value of our currencies but ben bernanke has said he's going to keep rates at zero until unemployment is at six point five percent told has done the art on that he's done the chart on that and he reckons this twenty eight team until we get to six point five percent unemployment mark carney who's coming into here at the bank of england he says that he's going to start targeting nominal g.d.p. right but i don't as an artist with the charts but yes of course the problem with the global system is that they have their own model it's not that the banks

stole billions it's not that they might loan or billions and committed massive fraud no to the model is wrong we were targeting the wrong thing so we're going to change the model and we're going to double down on fraud double down yeah i like that and now money week says that central banking might just work if it was genuinely independent if you had central bankers who were willing to do the whole counter cyclical thing we might have a more stable economy in other words a central banks were willing to raise interest rates to temper booze rather than just slash them to it levy bust then they might do some good river their propaganda is that they can't predict they can't see booms they can't see bubbles they can only wipe them up but they say that they're finding deflation so that lower rates but the truth is that they cost inflation by lowering rates.
