reset the high court, constitutional court and court of appeals in the high court for justice.these high court interpret this cause for stipulating turkish national and territorial integrity as a cause that requires a unity for those states. they see as an obstacle in pronouncing the existing of different examples, turkish people. only turkish can be a monotonic according to the example, but this is stipulated in article article xlii. but he does not an unchangeable article. so you can change this article and go your own way to the democratization without rewriting the constitution overall without having a totally new constitution. there's also an article i transaction, which is the article that stipulates or guarantees some form of extreme centralization and the administration and puts all units of regional government or local government under the tutelary control of the essential authorities in opera. this article could also be changed and there's a way for a legal reason for doing ascus turkey has to sit cherry to the european charter of local government. and if you fully im

the constitutional court returns of power to the military, it reads.there were two landmark rulings yesterday, the first of which was called a political isolation law. it was passed by the parliament in april, initially intended to target omar suleiuman who put themselves as a nominee in the race and was mubarak's first and only vice-president and longtime intelligence chief. he was disqualified for technical reasons from the race. the law would also apply to ahmed shafiq, mubarak's last prime minister appointed on january 29, 2011. so this law would have banned any top mubarak officials from running for office for 10 years. the law was passed, by the military council. however, the presidential elections commission refused to implement the law and instead referred to the supreme constitutional court. yesterday they rule the law unconstitutional, thereby leaving a ahmed shafiq in the race, and the runoff is scheduled for tomorrow. what was more of a bigger blow was the sec ruling, which was the ruling that one-third of the way the parliament is elected,

amid mass indignation after both houses of egypt's parliament were suspended by the country's constitutional court thousands of people have chosen to boycott the vote saying neither candidate represents the values of last year's revolution dr omar sure an expert on middle east and islamic studies says egypt can expect multiple crises whoever wins the election. many softer the dissolving the parliament many saw this as the injured of the old regime of hosni mubarak coming back in the form of his last prime minister much of it is very problematic right now right now we have a president without that mandate coming without a legislative bench now that is just they have been. refuses to disband because the the argument is that the authorities of the state the judicial and legislative cannot dismantle each other so the parliament cannot dismantle the judicial then branch and the judicial branch cannot this dismantle the slate of in the form of the parliament so we are heading towards a clash between the elected parliament on one side and the possibly the supreme council of the armed forces on the other

yesterday, egypt's supreme constitutional court declared the parliament invalid. the court is considered partial to that old regime that was led by hosni mubarak and in the wake of the ruling, the country's interim minimumtry leaders have declared full legislative authority there. >>> prosecutors wrapping up witness testimony in the jerry sandusky child sex abuse trial. eight accusers in all took the stand this week. the final alleged victim delivering some of the most disturbing testimony yesterday. victim number nine telling the courtesan dusky became increasingly aggressive with him and he screamed for help during one incident did the. the former penn state football coach is accused of sexually abusing ten boys over a 15-year period. the state is set to rest its case next week. >>> chris brown taking it on the chin, literally. look at the picture. that troubled singer, an alleged victim of a brutal attack at a new york nightclub. he tweeted this photo of a nasty looking injury. sources say the rapper drake and his entourage were at the same club early thursday m

the constitutional court was barricaded and protected by troops and police. the judges inside plan to deliver one of the most important decisions in the court's history. most of the protesters wanted the court to rule against the former prime minister and prevent him from standing for president. they believe he is tainted, a representative of the old order as he served under president mubarak. >> by what logic or justice can the one who killed our brothers and the one that was part of his regime, by what logic can be returned the tyrannical regime. where is the logic in that? >> the verdict would in his favor. so, he will stand in a runoff election this weekend against the muslim brotherhood candidate. >> the time of the subtle and scores has ended and it is now gone forever, the personalizing of the law or the use of the nation's institutes to achieve the goals of a single group. >> then, the real bombshell, the ruling on the egyptian parliament. since the elections last year, it has been dominated by islamists, particularly the muslim brotherhood. the court

we were outside of the constitutional court when the ruling was announced.nhappiness and protests and chanting, but so far, we have not seen huge crowds in tahrir square, and not many large protests throughout the country, so maybe it hasn't sunk in yet, and maybe egyptians as many of them are, are simply exhausted from all of the upheaval and want to get on with their lives. >> and then, ben, let me ask you about the former president hosni mubarak who is currently serving life in prison and nearly daily reports coming from the various publications whether inside egypt or elsewhere that talk about his status and his health and in some cases have even reported his death. so what is his status? how is he doing? >> well, his status is so -- his health situation seems to have stabilize. we got reports from his lawyers from interior ministry officials that he had gone into a full coma. then they backtracked to say that those who declare it was a full coma were not medically able actually to make that kind of call. i think that what is clear is that hosni mubarak

the lead, the country's interim authority, the supreme council of the armed forces and the constitutional court have recently made certain decisions that appear to benefit ahmed shafiq and the old regime. this has made the morsi camp suspect the old regime is trying to let shafiq win, but we can't say for sure. this is anymore than speculation. >> let's go into that a little bit. looking back, can you go over where there seems to have been some favortism for shafiq. >> first, on june 14th, just two days ahead of the runoff election, the supreme constitutional court ruled that the parliamentary election of a half a year ago was unconstitutional. after announcing this decision, the supreme council then said, it would dissolve parliament. this would mean the muslim brotherhood would lose an important political power base. >> okay. >> the party won 46% of seats in that parliamentary vote and became the leading political group. then after presidential runoff voting was finished on june 17th. the supreme council suddenly announced new amendments to egypt interim constitution. the changes give far gre

lawyers think that is not the case, but it is up to the constitutional court to decide, and nobody knows how long they will need to reach a decision, and that is where the problem is. it could take just a couple of days. it could take weeks. in any case, it is likely to hold up implementation of the stability mechanism because that is supposed to go into place in the beginning of july, and the court might need more time. >> that is exactly right. we know for sure germany is signing off on the euro fiscal pact, which is designed to bring more budget discipline to eu countries. what did chancellor merkel have to do in berlin to get broad support for this? then the chancellor merkel had to throw two bones to the opposition to get their support. first, she agreed to push for a european financial transaction tax. at that does not work out, then with a coalition of the building with a minimum of nine members states supporting that. second thing she agreed to was a package of measures to promote growth and employment at european level. all of that was fine with the opposition,

. >> here in germany, the country's constitutional court has ruled that the parliament or the bundestagt be involved more closely in future negotiations on eu treaties. >> the court was responding to a complaint brought by the opposition greens party. it said the party did not have enough say, rather the parliament and not have enough say in discussion on the eu parliament -- permanent bailout fund, the esm, which is expected to come into force in july. >> the constitutional court ruled that parliament must be informed earlier about the german government's negotiations in eu matters. that would enhance the bundestag participation in dissent -- desisted making projects like the esm. -- a decision making projects. it might be complicated in practice, the judges said it was necessary. the mark kriski comes at a price, besetting limitations on democracy could cost us dearly -- a democracy comes at a price. >> the government argued that esm and bob treaties between individual countries. the court said it was a matter concerning the eu and that parliament had a constitutional right to have a

armed forces on the other but also with the appointed judicial branch appointed judges of the constitutional court. noteworthy most of them were appointed by. many here see them as a continuation of the so-called deep state here in egypt the group of generals and judges who are affiliated with the status quo. and more or less want to keep that status quo dividing the situation here is very vague. we are probably looking at a multiple crises one with the parliament and one with the constitution and one for for the for the upcoming president egypt's dramatical action is also being followed closely by its neighbor israel there are fears that the wavering strategic partnership between the two countries a stablished under hosni mubarak could fall to pieces policy has the story. set a corner ask with these words the muslim brotherhood candidate mohamed morsi campaign was launched with a vow that the capital of the arab world will be a jerusalem which morsi wanted to liberated six weeks on the contest is as tight as ever with morsi a strong contender to be egypt's next president and his promise is as gov

supporters of the muslim brotherhood are furious over the constitutional court's decision. their candidate says there will be a new revolution if there is any indication of election fraud. others are pleased by the decision that he can stay in the presidential race. some view the former mubarak loyalists as the only alternative to the islamists. but many egyptians are caught between the two camps -- opposing both the old regime and the islamists. analysts predict a low voter turnout. the generals' only military council are clinging to power. it remains to be seen how much of that power they will give up to the new president. >> more detail now from our correspondent, who joins us on the line from cairo. how much attention is there in each of right now? >> it is remarkable for the fact that the parliament was dissolved yesterday and parliamentarians are not allowed any longer into the building, but the reason for that is that the muslim brotherhood, who is the main loser now is concentrating on the presidential elections for tomorrow, hoping that their candidate is going to

he is in the building of the constitutional court.d, he's having tea with the judges before the official taking of an oath, swearing to uphold the law and the constitution and so on. that actual swearing in is short, a minute or so of text that he reads out. we are waiting for word that he's done that, then he's president elect to president. this is all rather unusual doing it at the supreme constitutional court. normally, it's done in front of parliament. the army dissolved parliament, so he's had to compromise and agree to do it at the constitutional court in front of 19 judges. i'm sure he would rather do it in front of parliament. when he spoke here in tahrir square yesterday, he gave the kind of swearing in of oath to the audience. they loved it. today, now, in a few minutes, he'll be doing the real thing in front of a few judges, then he goes to cairo university to make a keynote speech. it's where president obama spoke, you'll remember, to the middle east. it was picked because of it's association with egypt. the part of egypt

many in the muslim brotherhood are outraged earlier there were demonstrations in front of the constitutional court and now as we speak crowds are starting to gather in tahrir square the off wage is really because many egyptians feel that what has developed here is a carefully maneuvered plan by the supreme council of the armed forces scaf to remain in power looking at a decision that was announced yesterday just two days before an important presidential runoff and according to that decision the islamist dominated parliament has been dissolved in addition to that which i think is backed by the army and was also a prime minister in the mubarak era has been given the green light to remain in the presidential race the decision also reverts just a simple forty back to the ruling military and the military really holds executive authority in this country and to a new president is elected so you have this very worrying situation where a president will be elected in the absence of a constitution and also in the absence of a parliament so at this stage there are more questions than answers the official line

in the courtroom that we saw yesterday from the supreme constitutional court. was a very strong reminder to the egyptian population that all of egypt's institutions are still. followers of mubarak and they are still they still belong to the mubarak regime the verdict from your city was a mere reminder that we're now back to square one. some people thought that there would be a more violent reaction with regards to the with regards to the verdict however surprisingly things are quite calm today on the streets and i actually think this is a positive thing because it reflects that people might be depressed yes they might be disappointed however it shows that there is hope of. perhaps of people taking things slow in order to think things over to see what the next step will be right but the islamists are really pushing the agenda in this election terms of we are going to be different than mubarak everyone else is the same thing with that said what do you think we can expect from this presidential runoff or are they going to are they going to make it and make it big

egypt's supremum constitutional court has thrown the country's future into disarray just ahead of the weekend's presidential runoff it is over it is an estimated parliament which means months of campaigning rallying and three rounds of voting are now down the political drain when other highly contentious decision was to uphold the right in the barracks last prime minister when shafique to remain on the presidential election about it it's more suspicion over his possible pollution with the ruling military accusations grin that the army generals will use the current city to sustain power a car a based activist somebody for the believes the muslim brotherhood could not be left with no choice but to change their political strategy. is the muslim brotherhood and other islamic forces. looking into the situation from a very worrying that positions of the thinkers what have been happening today after this sort of brings up parliament which is the haves overwhelming majority inside that may be moving forward getting in upcoming election which will be a few a few months later. and think as if.

if the constitutional courts for if the constitutional court rules for fifteen ruling for office there what would happen there. yeah the country would be destabilized and i think that would be reflect the plan of the military to actually go ahead and militarize the country and crack crack down on the you know the revolution that once had happened or what they don't consider is a revolution the uprising and things would be it would reproduce the mubarak regime once again because the military would do everything in its power to get your feet to presidency and point they would take every measure to every oppressive measure to crackdown on dissent with presidential runoff is of course just days away now the egyptian military's been granted meantime the power to arrest civilians on the streets is the other side we are in for more turmoil what are your thoughts about this. this is an expansion of the military presence presence in egypt and. direct contradiction to the promise of the military to hand over power because at this moment they seem to want to grab on to power by extending the powe
