but as well as supreme court rules it's legal to postpone the inauguration of present if your child is due to poor health amid fears zaps this could destabilize the country. and has ireland bitten off more than they can shoot plans for europe's recovery as a new president while critics say it should deal with its own cash woes first. and the call of the wild is heard in russia's north eastern siberia as a state of emergency is declared over a growing number of wolves attacking livestock.

watching r.t. coming to live from moscow i'm marina joshie welcome to the program and went as well as supreme court has ruled that postponing the non-u. ration of president hugo chavez for a new term in office is legal opposition leader in reeky cup realist has accepted the rolling after others call the delay and constitutional lawyer have a gone juror says that the matter was open to interpretation by the supreme court but that the president's continued absence could destabilize a government. article two thirty one of the venezuelan constitution does leave open to interpretation the issue of inauguration when the elected president cannot meet the date of january tenth before the national assembly which is the parliament what the article specifically says in a second clause is that in the case of unforeseen circumstances then the president

elect will be sworn in before the supreme court but it doesn't give a date for there is another article in the constitution as well under which president chavez was authorized to leave the country for more than five days back in early december in order to undergo surgery here and that article allows him to be absent from the country for it's ninety days which can be renewed for another ninety days the issue is whether or not he's now incurring those first ninety days or is he under just the initial authorization now it's really way is it is going to be determined sooner as well because it's there's no question that the president has now been out of the country for more than a month he's been absent from the spotlight there's not really a crisis at this time the up but there is no doubt they're calling for national strikes all kinds of protests as there are already asking for the organization of american states and the united states to intervene that's going to be ongoing and

yes the longer that chavez is away the more time that will give them to prepare and to further for a progress with plans to be stabilize his government and try to create some situation where new elections can be can mean this isn't spans to put your back on track lie with iowa now the government has launched a program for the next six months of its presidency with plans to bring back growth and create jobs but somehow it's a double one should better focus on its own problems. island has its own economic problems which are continuing it course has the economic problems which have been happening ever since the euro which created high inflation there and then of course exacerbated the faster they had ready to take on the presidency of the european council is of course a very large piece of work not just for the senior politicians in the government but also for many of the civil servants and spending their time really trying to address arlen's economic difficulties rather than trying to solve the problems

within the european union which are very great indeed of course unemployment now in the e.u. is alarmingly high and of course the thing is that arlen what he says are the reason that on and supposed to boil for austerity means that the irish people are not protesting and taking up their white to protest as people in spain and greece have done because we know that austerity at this time point actually work last year in the euro in the single currency it will create more economic problems and that's why we see unemployment across the eurozone rising quite alarming that you so he's very happy there are these getting on with the use policy of austerity but actually it's actually the vong policy this time as a global financial downturn shows little sign of improvement banking regulators are criticized for trying to make life easier for the latter as instead of the public the basel committee of central bankers has loosened the acid rules while trying to prop ladders up against any future crises or t.s.p.

dollar in our reports it's the way the decisions are made that's raising most questions. have you ever heard the want about the bank is the billions and bars all chances are you probably haven't but six times a year central bank heads from the u.s. europe asia and everywhere in between representing around three quarters of global economic output gather in the swiss city to talk shop behind closed doors i personally also don't like these secretive meetings because. you never know what in effect. is discussed in these meetings it's something that has a tradition that's put there play i mean bankers have always talked to each other in a more secretive way the whole business of banking is not really built on transparency but rather on trust and confidentiality the continuing global financial crisis has seen the banking sector firmly in the spotlight with more than

a few accusing fingers pointed in the direction of bankers it's the job of the secretive bars all committee to set regulations on banks the chairman of the group says he wants the public to be better informed about the work they do it's not that many years ago since this was basically a group of central banks it's expanded its membership considerably and in the process of that the whole governance arrangements of have changed as well and i think this is an attempt to explain to you in the world in general what those changes amount to and whether critics of the group are scathing in their criticism of what they see as an old boys' club looking out for the needs of banking bosses as opposed to keeping the industry in line bezel three has failed to meet any objective in the you know faint hope of reining in banks this this is what we talk about today the banks does have to be reined in because the banking system in itself as a general rule has left its you know bottom sense despite mervyn king saying that

he wants people to better understand what the basel committee actually do the very nature. the need for a certain level of secrecy means that the big decisions that will affect people all over the world will continue to be made by a small group of people in the building just behind me peter all over r.t. barsel switzerland their republican of you could see a has declared a war on wolves the region in the northeast of said the area is now in state of emergency where the thriving population of the predators posing a major threat to life stopped well let's get more on this from our barton so tom sounds scary to me i mean how dangerous is the situation there is it really out of control you know really you might think an announcement of a state of emergency because of wolves maybe sounds a little bit overdramatic but it is a very serious situation. here is

a vast territory with a very low payment population but a lot of the people who live there rely on reindeer for their livelihood and on the horses they used. and those reindeer what the wolves are desperately trying to get to driven there by hunger because they are normal foodstuffs are like rabbits a lot more scarce this year so that some of these pictures show this is a wolf in a zoo but some of these other pictures show wolves in the wild in siberia usually they would stay well away from these reindeer herds but they've been driven there by hunger killed sixteen thousand reindeer last year that's simply too much the numbers of wolves have reached three thousand five hundred new kuti now and the president of the republic says that's too much to the attrition rate on the reindeer has reached it now too expensive they're losing too many reindeer and

that's become a serious problem sure it doesn't like a serious problem and like you said it probably happens because there is an imbalance of other animals in the forest in that. out of the forest and exactly closer to the people so what is the solution to the problem under the circumstances is there any at all solution as you might probably think relatively simple just step out of the wolves and sort of a natural cole as it were of these. wolves so that the president the public has really really gone for that and said said rewards will be offered six figure awards for the top three hunters aim is to kill three thousand of the three thousand five hundred wolves. in the next three months starting in a few days' time and that hopefully will bring the numbers down to what experts say is it should be the no two level about five hundred wolves or not three thousand five all right well sometimes you have to be kind as they say tom burton thanks

there with our team out along the vida palace are seeking ways to overcome their differences and share power their leaders held talks in cairo on wednesday in the latest attempt to bridge the gap between their parties as artie's fall asleep reports it means a lot for palestinian families which have been divided by a political rivalry. it's been five long years since this family was together one thousand eight hundred days since i'm in a muslim last saw her son his crime belonging to a group the gaza government was opposed to except this time it wasn't the israelis who forced him into exile but hamas and other brands are other queer family and house in gaza and headed for the west bank but it was only after the negotiations began that seventeen of us were given approval to go back home. it was back in two

thousand and seven in a surprise coup that a must to control of gaza from wyvil faction group fatah one hundred sixty one people were killed and more than seven hundred injured when the dust settled the palestinian people were divided a mass was in charge in gaza fatah called the shots in the west bank hundreds fled their homes from both in fear of their lives like other fatah supporters from gaza mohammed took refuge in the west bank waiting for the day we conciliation would come. all day and night i prayed to god to protect my son muhammad i prayed for his safety and asked god to bring him back home safe and now for the first time reconsideration between the two sides looks promising each feels boosted by recent successes and is more willing to compromise her muscles capitalizing on the recent conflict with israel despite the heavy cost after his claiming victory after its president mahmoud abbas successfully upgraded palestinian status at the united

nations as hamas and fatah move closer together the irony is that they getting help from israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu in his right wing policies and rhetoric are winning the palestinian support and sympathy on the international stage it was on that one young who's watching that as the recent united nations palestinian statehood bid demonstrated european unfailing support for israel has floundered it was also an attorney on whose watch that u.s. is revelations reached their lowest ebb and now it's on his watch again that palestinian unity seems pulls it. for the who have a long term interest of first i think it's a cooperate again because otherwise they're running the risk that there has been will be and we're going to be part of the same political structure which de facto right now is the case leaders from both sides have a new day calls for reconsideration if you left with them you know you think that of course. between hamas and the catastrophe it's proof for that doesn't

mean peace etc etc but for this family nothing can detract from the feeling of question cheat and joy of a father and son coming home they tears and smiles it could be that a new chapter is also about to open in gaza political life points here r.t. on the israel gaza border. where the u.s. considers the possibility of removing all of its troops from afghanistan by the end of twenty four team president karzai is preparing for crucial talks in washington his meeting with president obama this friday is set to outline america's role in afghanistan where the power gone still mowing the number of troops that could remain to contain insurgency in the country but he said that in our all politics professor from new york university believes the u.s. just can't afford to leave afghanistan. there's a lot of talk about not leaving any troops there at all however i don't think the u.s. can afford that leader in the region because there are still quite a bit of violence going on there so i think the president will probably leave some

troops there for some time but i would assume president karzai is going to want them out because it gives him more. or it makes him look more powerful on the negotiating table and within the context of his own constituency however he also needs some protection so it'll be a little bit of a catch twenty two situation for them i think he probably hopes to achieve a few things one his continued military support for the afghan troops so they can maintain their own military or army if you will and the second is can continue to. monetary support in some development efforts there. was stanton flaring over disputed islands in the east china sea an arms race between china japan is escalating while beijing's boosting its drone program tokyo's i the purchase of a u.s. model japan based journalist james corbett says with both sides ready to spend more

on their military some stand to gain from the deepening crisis. i think they are preparing to to be ready to commit more more resources to the military expenditures and they're getting ready to do that even as we speak and i think we see really the start of a new normal here and in east asia as unfortunately i think tensions military tensions are going to lead to increasing military expenditures on both sides as japan is looking to buy some more global hawk drones and china is launching a new line up to its own fleet of drones and i think that washington is perfectly happy to to encourage japan in this not only because it obviously benefits their armaments industry and the defense contractors who stand to make the billions that japan will be spending on increased expenditures but also because i think when the further the wedge is driven between japan and china the more it plays into american hands as long as this doesn't actually come to a full scale war i think the more off balance japan is the better it serves america

as they seek to get a bigger toehold in the region and i think we're going to see more and more of this because now that abi is in power he's known as a hard line nationalist and now that she jumping is taking the helm of china for the next ten years i think he's looking to put his stake down it's as someone who can really be a strong defender of china so i think we're really going to see an entrenched position on both sides and it looks like there is a new normal of wars and increasing expenditures that are likely for the next several years. as frail seeking adventure turns dabbling in russia most occasion is on the playoff for a giant inflatable ball known as zorba off them out and killing one man and seriously injuring another all the details of the accident on our website. also online and your clothes designer has an answer to big brother producing a line of garments designed to make the wearer nearly invisible spy drones all

individuals harmed i'm not aware of it but it certainly seems at this point this is more of a case of embarrassment than actual harm it seems to me that there are good leaks and there badly that you know when it helps make the administration look good on a leak is ok when it's an embarrassment like it is with bradley manning then you know it's a capital offense. now is a look at some other stories from around the world. as has expressed concern over the possibility the u.k. could leave the you were keen union the state department said they have a growing relationship with the e.u. and would like to see them continue having a strong voice within the organization these statements come as u.k. prime minister david cameron prepares to make a speech on the future of european policy later this month where he's facing domestic pressure from conservative m.p.'s to commit to refer and on whether or not the u.k. should remain part of the blog. at least nine people have been killed in

graphics not really it's more about an online card game you can see it there basically has two sides were obviously the regime on one side and the computer plays for that and the rebels which the gamer plays for their side basically you choose what sort of interior or other methods you want to use against the regime and put it up against its weapons then you've got chopper the infantry some more choppers along on the weapons and here and so on and then the game basically calculates your chances for success is pretty much how it works what's being said about the appropriateness of this game as i mentioned thousands and thousands of lives have been lost over the last two years is a huge diplomatic standoff appropriate is this how. well it's an ethical at least really tens of thousands of people have been killed throughout this conflict has been causing huge diplomatic problems not only with syria but between other

world players this game did try to reflect so you could you could see it there the political fees the developers have been saying that the game was beast on real media reports from the real situation in the in in syria. of all here there's the perfect example china which is automatically given by the game it's here represented as the country which supports the regime although we haven't heard any open statements from the chinese government russia is put in the same line with iran and with there has also actually has been a hasn't openly supported president assad's regime either and neither has russian fact we've been hearing constantly from moscow saying that it is not taking any side of the conflict but there's only one outcome apparently to this game no the only outcome well it does. actually there were no it offers a peace offer but the game itself recommends the use or not choose that since it

says that then you won't get much credit among the rebels so basically the best ending of this game particularly is the fall of the regime well brings up today here on our team just after you will find out how to judge if universities do well we're simply shut down that's a spotlight coming out of this short break stay with our. choose your language. because if we can we know if you're going to know something still some honest. truth is that the consensus you. choose the opinions that you give a great. choose the stories that impact the life choose the access to your.
