part of it and realized everything is. i'm trying hard. to. vote in the final stage of the referendum on the islamist drafted constitution there that's violent protests and fierce clashes but many of the ballot results twelve months long more we've got the latest for you tonight also moscow is one step closer to banning all adoptions of russian children by americans triggered by an increasing number of abuse cases leaving some there those calls the storm of reaction here in russia. and all you don't want for christmas is festive shopping in favor gathers pace we look at what gifts risk ending up in the big very next day . i am.

i am. hello there if you just joined it's very good evening for me kevin i knew center tonight our top story we're following very closely for you it's a decisive day for egypt today as people vote on the draft constitution that split the nation and triggered monthlong protests the second and final leg of the referendum was preceded by a fresh outbreak of violence in egypt second largest city of alexandria carra based journalist bel true explains what's expected from the vote whether the outcome is likely to end. millions of egyptians across seventeen governorates our heads headed to the polling stations today to votes in the second and final round of egypt's contentious constitutional referendum yesterday this once again was the fact of the violence we saw clashes in this in egypt second city alexandria between all the conceit to those who are against the constitution to soften down islam is staged

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

a rule 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 president or in the presidential elections leading many to believe that this will in fact be a yes vote the opposition forces for their part say that the only reason it was a yes vote in the first round was due to vote rigging rights groups did did document several cases of electoral violations including unsupervised polling stations leading both rights groups on the opposition forces to call for a rerun of the first round of the referendum saying it is actually not in boyd's issue digital supervision remains a point of contention he. just continues to boycott the referendum really will just 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 refused to back down. well bells of course following developments for us in egypt you can see the latest updates our twitter feed is what r.t.

underscore cami get interactive there earlier we spoke to independent political analyst and glazebrook he explained why the opposition's key request for a delay in the referendum was never an option for the president and the muslim brotherhood breo main problem with this referendum is but is being rushed through before egyptians of really had a chance to take on board the momentous upheaval of the last year what it signifies and also before they've had a chance to really understand what the policies of the muslim brotherhood actually are so this is all being rushed through has been rushed through deliberately before people had a chance to take stock and before the opposition of had a chance to organize themselves as well forget this was a pretty unprecedented the biggest mass movement in egypt and fifty years what we saw over the street last year in egypt and so the opposition have not really had a chance to fully organize themselves to to for present a clear program to the electorate and so on the muslim brotherhood of course on the

other hand are organized and have been allowed actually to organize in certain fears of egyptian life for several decades. morris but now this is so the situation in egypt as well as the timeline of recent protests and most dramatic video is always always one of a course on a website a couple. five hundred dollars that's the cost the u.s. marine sergeant set to pay for your innate thing on the bodies of dead taliban insurgency was demoted and we'll see his pay docked after admitting to desecration but about thursday response and told me the sentence is too lenient and highlights how the u.s. military's lost touch with reality in afghanistan it's absurdly low it's insultingly low but so is the charge and i mean this is someone guilty of creating corpses of killing human beings who is then prosecuted for having desecrated them after the fact this is this is the problem with our culture of violence that we that we think we're going to civilized war that if we didn't cut off the fingers and you're an aid on the bodies then it would be ok so we have

a long ways to go to get into or to a better legal as well as moral understanding because americans like to think that their government must have some justification for what it does it builds the idea that it is folk to occupy the nations of other people that we had an incident this week in the united states of other former soldier attacking a mosque to seek revenge for u.s. soldiers who had lost their lives abroad without stopping to understand that they were occupying someone else's country so we have this rule in. a trip for muslims for afghans for pakistanis in the united states it is it is the doing of the u.s. government and its occupations and its drone wars but the longer they go on the more the ill will builds both at home and of course in the nations be not tied and been subjected to drone strikes. well the case is once again highlighted concerns

over america's continuing presence in afghanistan but president obama says he's hoping to turn a page on a decade of war after naming senator john kerry as the next secretary of state the friends of maryland told me he believes kerry's appointment could lead to a less aggressive u.s. foreign policy now we're in a fiscal crisis here and i think we're going to have to retract the clause of the empire as big and i think nothing was ever done about that maybe john kerry will change he probably won't change dramatically because i think united states is into the. perception of running the world and i just don't think we can do it financially and i don't even think it's desirable but i think you know we went into libya we went into we put more troops in afghanistan those were bad movies in my opinion so i think you may have a more dovish line coming from kerry than you did from hillary clinton this is our teeth thanks for being with us still ahead the problems continue to abound for

greece now for the country's main banks looking for ways to stay afloat after posting massive losses we take a closer look at that very soon plus. in my family who can we always minister regional corporation minister of agriculture minister of housing and construction minister of immigrant and minister of justice even held this news in tenuously israel prepares for elections that really increasing concerns over the country's political process it is. now is a clock's kind of christmas many people are making a last minute dash to the shops of course but think twice before purchasing a novel to present as the recipient i always not be that grateful artist polly boy who explains from the hustle and bustle of the. most of us know the problem for someone celebrating after the twentieth christmas buying a present can be perplexing there's nothing they need or don't own already accuse

the invention of your humorous christmas present for example the christmas jumper what happens to the presents the day off the christmas tree ever been given you a christmas present every christmas and easter them away on boxing day most of them give it away because i just to myself feel better and then get rid of the kids to give me an example of a useless christmas present you may have saved. i was given a call from work. for break up for that on so you can see the other. team ugly overlay woman in a bikini when you pull the hot water and she becomes like it the bikini peels off what was that a knitted coat hanger a miscarriage and now have you been given like chunks of christmas stuff that you just throw away. what was that i'm going to just. have only just bought some junk for christmas think i'm i've just bought some junk for christmas. present day on boxing day now i actually have three christmas presents

you can tell an ordinary russian. in the blink of an. eighteenth century anthropologist in those days siberians were different clothes different food. different animals. but what about. my journey began in two men but the big city was all shiny all funded school was great because i'm shopping malls much like any of the prosperous russian. so i decided to. a small town just outside. dumplings came from here to dominate the russian cuisine but only in siberia.

with cabbage and jam making sure you can have as a starter main dish. was although it may draw. most people in siberia see nothing wrong with hunting only if you decide to participate. in martin. as in the middle of a swamp only accessible by. it's inhabited by siberian a large muslim minority that migrated here before the russians. and this. is real siberia maybe not the stuff of tourist brochures but

distinctive enough to show that after all these years sober is still not quite like anywhere else. but will grow between us citizens from adopting russian children to be passed by the lower house of parliament here in moscow i was unanimous the vote comes after a series of child abuse cases abroad. looks at the stories which had led to these latest measures. the adoption agreement that russia and the us signed in of ember was designed to provide mechanisms of oversight 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 schoolgirls you're assuming the 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 there is untold numbers of children that are enduring abuses that haven't been reported that haven't resulted in their gifts that are just surviving the case of alan who was adopted from russia and she was placed in the home of the tete a file she was discovered because of a a child pornography sting and she told reporters and such that she waited every day and kept praying and believing that somehow the adoption agency that placed her there would come back and check on her and she would have been able to tell them but nobody ever came much of the fury in moscow over the brutal treatment of adopted russian children has been driven by the leniency american judges and shown towards

a number of abusers the adoptive father of two year old jimmy gaffney was acquitted after he forgot the boy his car for nine hours the toddler died of heat stroke the parents of russian born aceh 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 bigley 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 washing point maxine the bio of who was allegedly abused by his foster parents according florida acquitted them at a time when the adoption rate in russia itself is low the situation around us

adoption seems even more dire the u.s. accounts for around a third of all florin adoptions in russia and there are hundreds of successful cases each year with the latest developments over whether that good work can continue the argument that if there's a flight as 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 check on. the stories in our website. but we tell you how one russian that's made it onto the list of the world's most dangerous people barely we've got to the story of how the cyber guru was named the sickest person there along with a mexican drug lord and syria's president assad as a dangerous threat to the u.s.

us money as you know him back in my political career i was 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 but it doesn't mean i am talented it just shows that the system is so messed up the 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. their kirillov's eventually that was. the system is unpopular and has created controversy this online campaign by local celebrities shows whenever someone tries to talk about it they're interrupted. three 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. 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 soon to be 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 when they can't plan. 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 a 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 tolerance is running thin with latest figures suggesting more than half the population is unhappy with his government's performance points here r.t. tel aviv. that's great programs lined up here tonight we saw them just now are about to see them again max and stacy wait in the wings with the latest kaiser

leg. length. 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 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 felicia and 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 some of the fear out money fairy queens. but it is a funny 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 remember for a few years there we've been pretending that central banks are fears there we've been pretty 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 it's twenty eight. 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 barry ritholtz as an artist with the charts but yes of course the problem with the global system is that they have the wrong model it's not that the banks stole billions it's not that they monitored billions and committed massive fraud no doubt the model was wrong we were targeting the wrong thing so we're going to change the my. model and we're going to double down on fraud double down yeah 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 the central banks were willing to raise interest rates to temper booms rather than just slash them to a levy bust then they might do some good remember their propaganda is that they can't predict they can't see booms they can't see bubbles they can only wipe them up.
