XSLT and XSLFO namespace

I have the following issue with XSL namespaces. I produce a PDF using FOP with one XSL file and one XML file.

Here is my XML file:

<?xml version= "1.0" encoding= "ISO-8859-2"?>
<ReportContent>BLABLA<yt:picture src="pic.png"/></ReportContent>

Here is my XSL file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-2"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" 
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
  xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"
  xmlns:yt="http://www.yt.com/text/2"
   >
<xsl:template match="/"> 
<fo:root >
[...]
<fo:flow >
      <fo:block> <xsl:apply-templates select='ReportContent'> </xsl:apply-templates></fo:block>
 </fo:flow>
    </fo:page-sequence>
  </fo:root>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

I need to include the namespace yt:. When I do it in the xml like this: 

 <?xml version= "1.0" encoding= "ISO-8859-2"?>
    <ReportContent       xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format" xmlns:yt="http://www.yt.com/text/2">
BLABLA<yt:picture src="pic.png"/>
</ReportContent>

It works perfectly.

But in real life I cannot add namespace to my xml (the way the xml is created doesn't allow it).

So I tried to write it only on the xsl but it doesn't work at all .(I tried to add it to every tag in the xsl and it doesn't work).

I don't understand how this whole namespace thing works...

Can you help me find where to put the namespace in the xsl so I don't get any error.

Hope my question is clear

Thanks in advance.

@Ricky, yes, the XML has to be changed. Sorry. It should look something like this:

<?xml version= "1.0" encoding= "ISO-8859-2"?>
<ReportContent xmlns:yt="http://www.yt.com/text/2">BLABLA<yt:picture src="pic.png"/>
</ReportContent>
