in more than just eggs. >> the whole parliament hall was covered with smoke.n, we've seen a lot of stuff, but this is something out of hand, completely. >> a reporter is inside parliament when the smoke bombs go off. >> extended upstairs in the press box. smoking bombs and all the smoke went up exactly where i was standing and filming. i helped my cameraman out of the press box and open window to allow him fresh air. >> nobody is seriously hurt, but there are more than a dozen injuries. but smoke bombs, fist fights and eggs are not enough to stop the deal from going through. although they do ensure that it will not be forgotten. >> hard to say whether another incident like that might happen inside the parliament. certainly that one was the loudest and biggest ones and make waves in the ukrainian politics. everyone remembers how the smoke bombs were thrown inside the parliament. >>> so, if the law, rules or manners aren't enough to convince you to keep your behavior in check, just

but, rather to leave it to parliament -- parliament is better equipped than we for modified law by reading in or reading out. we do it but very rarely. parliament has the staff and process to hold public hearings to understand what alternatives to the legislation which we find unconstitutional, ought to be adopted, and so we have called that dialogue. we say, sorry, and go back to the drawing board. it happens. it doesn't happen all that often. >> can you give your opinion, before the law was passed by the parliament. >> only privately. but as justice ginsburg mentioned, it happens, not often, we will be asked our opinion of a proposed statute, but that does not happen often. as i mentioned. unlike the french courts. we cannot -- we are not asked in advance. there is a mechanism -- >> only one constitutionality. >> yes. that's absolutely correct, and i thank you for taking me up on that. >> it's not really a court. >> i think the court -- i think that the -- in the last couple of years, someone will correct me if i'm wrong -- you will correct me if i'm wrong -- and it will be a privilege t

and of course we have the great honor of having a member of parliament of the canadian parliament and also the attorney general and minister of justice in canada. he has appeared in many courts and is well known in north america as well as israel and elsewhere. i am sure he will have many observations to make today. one of the reasons we attend the programs is to get our compulsory legal credits taken care of. i have gone to this convention now for 23 years and it is and aspiring and inspiring the exercise when you get out of the office and there are no more billable hours and you hear the kind of things that are going on because of the rule of law and our profession. we saw a magnificent program uremburg yesterday and made one proud as an american and proud as a lawyer to hear justice jackson articulate the standards that are so important to us. that is the same kind of feeling i get and i like to turn to the justice for about 10 minutes and i will signal you. >> thank you. i will try to give you a short view about the structure of the state of israel. have a constitution until now.

i see jordan's, in your terms, arab spring, is where we are today until we have this new parliament. and then comes arab summer, because the hard work will be with this new parliament, how do we achieve, left, right and center? in all of this discussions i have had across the country, over the past 18 months, 99 percent of the time when i have had either town hall meetings or bringing people to the royal court, all sectors of society, including the muslim brotherhood, halfway through i ask this question. where do you stand on health, services, taxes, education? now, a as an american you definitely know where you stand on taxes and health. when i look around the room and ski this question to jordanians 99 percent of the people give me a blank look. as an american you understand, therefore, how far we have to go. and i think jordanians when it comes to democratic understanding are far ahead of a lot of their piers in the region so the development of political parties as you understand them in the west is going to take some time. the new political parties that try to establish themselve

. >> the taiwanese parliament probably experiences some kind of episode of disruption in almost everyessions per year, lawmakers have chewed over every option to prevent bills from being passed. literally. >> the craziest moment to me was definitely not a fight but this moment where one of the legislators, a woman, gets up in front of the legislature, grabs the paper away from the person who's holding it, and eats it. so we can't vote on this bill because it's in her mouth and she's chewed it up, and there are people pulling her hair, trying to get her to spit it out. i mean it was unbelievable. >> lately the speaker of the house has gotten smart, reading the proposals himself at the podium. but never fear. some taiwanese lawmakers have made a way around that one too. >> he didn't have that podium for very long. either they knew what he was going to say or they didn't like what he said. >> another way to slow down the process is to occupy the speaker's desk because the speaker has to be behind his desk using his microphone in order to conduct the business of the chamber. so if you can

egypt does not have a parliament right now. no constitution. he has a tremendous amount of power. the concern is that the country moves towards democracy. >> you have met him several times. give us some sense of which direction you think he is planning to take egypt. >> i hope he takes egypt in the democratic direction. i think he will push egypt and to greater democracy, but whether it becomes a liberal democracy and how we understand the term with full and equal rights for all egyptians regardless of their gender and religion, complete freedom of the press, that is another question. there have been some troubling signs that is not the kind of egypt will eventually come out of this. >> he has to deal with the military. is it too much to say this is at the civilian taking over the military as permanently sidelined? >> it is the beginning of the end of the military's role in politics. the military was an institution of the state, not accountable to civilian rule. hopefully, this is the beginning of the end of that. i think it is a very good first step. >> an official inquiry into t

the defense and interior ministers being dismissed by parliament. what's behind that? >> right. well, you know, the vote was taken by parliament and the lawmakers here accused these two very important ministers, maybe the two most important ministers in afghanistan of being corrupt and not taking sort of appropriate action against in the case of the defense minister against the rocket attacks from across the border in pakistan. but the biggest issue that they were concerned about was this issue of corruption. and it happened very quickly. karzai within a couple of days acknowledged that, you know, the parliament had made its decision and agreed that these men would both be removed. it certainly doesn't say much about public confidence and key afghan officials. again at a really important time. these are two guys who historically have been really strong american allies particularly minister wardak who has been the defense minister since 2004, has played a really instrumental role in building up the afghan national security forces, but these accusations of corruption have haunted

. >>> japan's prime minister speaking to parliament on plans to raise the sales tax, but will that change cost him his job? >>> back-to-school shopping is under way. we'll recap the retail stocks to watch. >>> and will investors be as passionate about manchester united as its fans? the football cup starts trading day on the new york stock exchange after pricing below expectations. >>> economists fear china may not be able to post an economic rebound as soon as the third quarter. those fears were triggered by poor july trade data which came in much worse than most expected. trade figures followed a batch of disappointing july economic indicators out just yesterday. the pboc also released troubling data on the liquidity front. last month, chinese banks offered a smaller than expected pool of new yuan loans, but china's broad measure of money slide did fall in line with general broadcasts. joining us is managing director and chief economist at heitong international. thank you for joining us this morning. just how weak is the demand picture in china? >> yes, so, all the dry data actually came

a brand new institution, a new parliament, and a new president are all in the offing. this political stability is producing good economic results. >> stunning view, adventures location, property needs some work. welcome to mogadishu, every city in the grip of an unlikely housing boom. >> this is good for whatever. >> this man has come back and -- from britain, looking to invest in somalia. >> this is a nice view. absolutely. >> after years of war, it is no longer the guns that are hammering here, a new but fragile stability is leery many exiles back home. >> do you think there's money to be made here? >> i believe so. there is a lot of money to be made but it takes a lot of guts. >> what does your family think? >> they probably think i have gone crazy, but i will prove them wrong once everything is set. >> last year, we visited mogadishu at its lowest ebb. the islamist group controlled half of the city, gunfire and famine on the street. today, this feels like a different city. the battle for mogadishu is over and that has given somalia's and leslie feuding politicians

monica is a conservative representativeto the european union parliament. there has been no vacation for her this summer. she says the social democrats want control of the judicial system. >> one reason i see behind this is to be able to put the chief prosecutor's people who they have in their hands and not independent people. >> romania's judicial system has been relatively effective at fighting corruption. for example, in june, the formal social democrat -- former social democratic prime minister was given a jail sentence for misusing his office. nonetheless, some remain in support of the social democratic government. that is because the conservative make cuts to romania's social benefits system, an unpopular policy.% and he was a dictator just like this guy here. he deserves the same fate. >> romania's communist dictator was the post after the end of the cold war in 1989. many romanians are reminded of that time in history. 20 years on, romania faces a deep, fundamental problem. >> the problem was produced overnight for no good reason. it will be reflect

salafist hardliners in parliament want the government to go further. >> demanding equal rights. they are afraid the draft constitution could turn back the clock for women. a landmark 1956 law granted women full equality in tunisia, but the governing islamist party want to replace its. women fear their status will be degraded. >> our goal is to make it clear, women did not just complement men. they are independent and equal. we are hard-working citizens, and we will never accept being referred to as mayor lee complementary to men. >> -- complementary to men. >> after the revolution, everything is moving in tunisia, and we have many new political movements that were not here before. those movements threatening women's rights. so now we're here to defend them. >> some men also joined the demonstration. during their march through the capital, protesters called on the government to focus instead on more pressing problems like unemployment and regional development. >> well, with its growing islamic population, the northern german city of hamburg has hammered out an agreement with musl
