used promise to eradicate homelessness could fail to cross the threshold as financially hard pressed nations target basic social programs to balance the books . dozens die of hundreds injured in egypt as peaceful christians marj against radical islamists islamic radicals descends into the biggest crotches since the revolution which i was the president mubarak. and almost but not quite yet he the hunger for big foot gains ground in siberia joins experts who say they've found evidence of the slippery slope of snow man.

eight am in moscow i met president good to have you with us here on r.t. our top story europe's social welfare programs which would in the pride and joy for decades face the axe as the economic crunch bites and deeper among them are poverty safety nets that provide food and care for those living on the streets or struggling to make ends meet but as our he's dale bush or parts from france there's always a catch to cutting back. a new motion in the european parliament claims that homelessness can be ended in the e.u. by twenty fifteen but those on the front line helping people living on the streets say this is fantasy with the numbers without a roof over their heads room with the e.u. itself to stop a scheme providing free meals things are expected to get even worse. on the european union's ending its food aid program which feeds millions every year yet

more people than ever are coming through our doors. protesters are angry that spending cuts target the poor but they're also furious saying they're being lloyd soon with elections next april the sarkozy administration claims poverty on his watch has dropped below fourteen percent charities on the ground see the real figures hoyer and roy's inforced claiming that one in seven french people now live below the poverty line with state is being blamed for this soup kitchen else like paris social workers say the shocked by how many now call this their meal the most common reason given is government cuts to social spending the income below which people are defined officially is living in poverty in france is just under a thousand euros a month the state safety nets well below that meaning many of this brit five hundred euros a month is what i now get from the government that's not true most of them had not

enough to eat cash strapped e.u. governments elsewhere across the e.u. are under pressure to get more people off benefits if they don't search for a job or not enough so we can close it and make an end of the. unemployment period with job seekers being squeezed out of social security the face of europe's homeless is getting even younger. we've got many young able bodied people coming to us. for the first times with the end of e.u. funding we just can't feed them anymore. because of. the polls not see the good economics approach that treats the crew in problems linked with the streets for a will to save boycotts the benefits system i mean certainly support people who are very poor and cannot avoid operative term frauds is for me charities that would lead to a humanitarian crisis as homeless numbers spiral out of control in the plural world

meanwhile e.u. chiefs grow chilly themselves the homelessness is coming to an end don't you see. stay with us here on r t coming up later this hour an unprecedented political win in poland prime minister donald tusk in a library story second term as voters put the late president's twin brother second place. and we explore the chances of the u.s. taking action against pakistan which is depicted by some as a terrorist safe haven with a nuclear arsenal and powerful friends. but first egypt's military rulers have imposed a five hour curfew on cairo's tahrir square and other parts of the capital this follows of violent eruption between coptic christians and security forces that left at least twenty four people dead what started as a peaceful rally calling for justice over attacks on churches and radicalism quickly turned into the most violent episode since february's revolution military

vehicles are clearly seen charging through the crowds plowing through to people the army infantry fired rubber bullets and tear gas witnesses claim the escalation was sparked by provocateurs while the government owned media claims christian protesters for instigating the violence international relations expert mark harmon says an arrest shows egypt's secular status may be under threat. the development of this situation. and it's alarming because of the religious tradition but it also has a long. sure was distorted selections and. new current late last year weekends so all seems islands between culture and islamic pressure and it is in cities like police and a time when people weren't religion in revolutions didn't get much attention then when the revolution train when it's at least in central cairo to be peaceful. people who will be tensions in. the room. with the local christian community

and it's a real big question is he symbolically is egypt going to go from being a secular education to being an islamic dictatorship or may will be many more people who would be happy to move rule and there are significant groups ten percent of the corporation christians who are many secular education training all institutions who would find themselves probably pretty much less free than they had all the proof is such an islamic group and. r.t. documents the timeline of how the revolutionary joy in egypt turned into disillusionment and suspicion on our website are. very of a first or of course i'm not became the main stumbling block to if you're for democracy and why tahrir square remains a peep out state. also online british intelligence rings the alarm over an increased terror threat in next summer's london olympics saying a little to be done to prevent welfare of attacks.

poland's prime minister is set to become the first in a generation to be reelected title to soroti serve a fall term exit polls from sunday's elections say is center right party is almost ten percent clear of his main rival but it's not an outright win as are his correspondent in eastern europe alexei or shelves he explains ahead of the final results. we received the exit poll results suggest that the policy of the current prime minister the civic platform party has managed to gone up almost forty percent of the votes something about thirty nine percent of the votes with his main competitor the twin brother of the late president kaczynski and also his party the lone justice party has managed to gone something about thirty percent of the vote this is no it's certainly a victory for the macos t is not a single party can hold

a majority in parliament he will have to form a coalition with other parties to be able to form the new government but certainly no aspirants have any doubts about the fact that's and going to school be able to garner another a coalition and be able to take his government for a second spell in the power circles in poland and this in fact will become the first time since the communist regime and this is the communist times in poland that. somebody has managed to stay at power for a second spell in a row and in fact this comes as little surprise to many political experts this result has been pretty much predictable because the polls have been very much happy with the way the government has been running the country for the last four years according to all the surveys and opinion polls they have been happy with the fact that poll has managed to survive the global recession the truth in the polish power circles signified the warm spell in the russian post elations in particular after

this millennium tragedy when the country lost most of its political elite along with the country's president we've seen so much understanding between the two countries so much consensus and this many experts credit mr missile but also for the strengthening ties between moscow and warsaw. if you minutes we report from siberia a group that's trying to bag. thanks for saying cannes is a very high to me yes. then they pay the next we please discover some traces of these three let's go there are to you follows the hunt for the world's most obese of creature with specialists who say they're closer than ever to finding one. first though in pakistan a dozen al-qaeda linked suspects have been arrested after afghanistan demanded the u.s. put more pressure on islam abad to fight terror but that's not enough to eliminate

thoughts in the u.s. that pakistan's government is sheltering terrorists some are washington or even ready to support action against islam about as archie's got a reports. the drums of war beating loud and clear washington calls pakistan a safe haven for terrorists. attacking our forces attacking. afghanistan and then disappearing back into. the economy network for one acts as a veritable arm of pakistan's internal services intelligence agency pakistan is furious over the accusations calling them unsubstantiated and saying that washington came very close to losing a major ally in its war on terror if you talk about links i'm quite sure yours has been said many terrorist organizations around the world which by which we need intelligence things over the last ten years pakistan has repeatedly compromised its

own sovereignty to help the americans in their operations the us while chasing down suspected terrorists has been bombing pakistan with drones on a regular basis the strikes have killed thousands of civilians use of going is not against our so many theaters are also going to prevail if you know it's the people that we want to build as friends in this fight against terrorism after the latest threats from washington fearing an even tougher assault thousands of pakistanis angrily rallied to say enough is enough for these people the us is a hostile power it's china that they see is a friend in the americas and this one instance have had a major hearts and minds victory to the chinese in pakistan in spring china officially notified washington that any attack on pakistan will be seen as an act of aggression against beijing the pakistani prime minister praised his country's relations with china calling them quote higher than mountains deeper than oceans

stronger than steel and sweeter than honey washington on the other hand seems to have mastered the art of alienating friends with pakistan. taking america's accusations that they support terrorists as a way to shift the blame for the a view of u.s. policies on pakistan but the blame game may blow up into full scale aggression the experts believe we need to elevate our response it will have a lot of bipartisan support on capitol hill u.s. lawmakers have already signaled that if there is the well for top action against pakistan they'll support it and when launching the words a haven for terrorists that's what you expect tough action and if it does happen pakistan could be the new afghanistan but with china as a friend and nuclear bombs at hand sounds like a deadly combination for the united states and then a check now reporting from washington r.t. . more insight on the u.s. interest in the region for our military expert coming your way in

a few minutes and in about three hours time roger argues cross-talk a date and what's ahead for us pakistan relations. because american and pakistani interest are so different you know afghanistan and with regard to support for these terrorist groups we could see the move of american policy from alliance with pakistan which is a nominal one it's someone it's of which both sides lie to each other it's like a very bad marriage where both sides were unfaithful to the other two containment we could see america moving towards a containment containing pakistan but i don't think that's going to happen i think it's mostly because the nice understand they need america very good relationship they're going to be culturally politically there's no one truly bush in there that we're trying to get out we try to punish the people who are united states we've done some most of that and there's a lot of arguing for getting out very quickly so the obama much of the right. now the republicans want to get out of a very quickly if you want to jump in there and. stephen the government's been killing people for more than ten years how many terrorists do you have to kill

before you finally say enough's enough i mean the government there been no constraints on the number of people that have been able to be killed came years of this no. constraints drone attacks assassinations bombing and killing of wedding parties at some point isn't it time to say. something completely different has gone by many names in the subject of many stories but actually laying hands on one has more than not everyone's given up a team of specialists good other creatures whereabouts in russia or. ports from siberia. the yeti also known as big food. court has been exciting scientists and enthusiasts from all over the world for more than a century but explorers have never had enough evidence to determine that this apparently gigantic creature is more than just

a big legend these beautiful mountains forests in russia siberia i remember a few places on earth thought to be roamed by yet and this is where the scientists from around the globe has come for the largest expansion of its kind since the nineteenth fifties to sort out what's never been done before to finally catch a creature. but first we go to get a blessing from baselines indigenous inhabitants and at least their spiritual support. this. shaman doesn't have any doubts i'm not shocking to tell you that yes he does exist. encouraged we continue our journey the path goes through impassable tiger thicket and never has a human stepped foot here before perhaps an altogether larger and harriet creature

has in the hunt for the evidence every minor detail becomes important runs is twisted like this is believed to be a key clue to the others existence the scientists say it could not have been done by animals as they don't have hair and or fingers to do and humans cannot do it this way either as not strong enough the deeper we go into the forest the more so cold markers we come across records in the middle of a birds and tiger forest are also high interest but what disciplines of the expedition are saying it's not just wind falling trees the branches they say could have been put in this way deliberately by someone and now the stroke of luck will meet a local who says he saw a tall man like harry creature nearby he points the way theory to make the journey with us school because it's a snowman the master of to idea when he saw signs of its presence as if it wants us

to know it exists but it doesn't want. but the expression and ask it on thanks for saying cancer is a very high to me but yet see over there in the cave a nest or at least discover some traces of a stranger so let's go there if there's no man or at least new signs of its existence i discovered common knowledge of the start of these creatures could deliver a blow to the many skeptics and sure enough clues in there is what seems to be. like even the easiest but certainly not a bad the scientists agree while remaining cautious. of jumping to conclusions this is beautiful surface for which we're tracking and there's always that one interesting was uncertain it was right there. on the right.

foot playing hopscotch should like to see a left foot but the left one has never been discovered and celebrations are put on hold these are either the real thing or they're convenient props and make a very good story but i wouldn't be quick to determine which of those two alternatives is the truth without further. study it'll take a while could provide cost iran proof of the yet is existence but there are plenty here who want to be holding their breath. even if you bring them snowmen dead or alive the skeptics will say that some people agree or mutation it was a piece of the us thing we discovered a strange body old covered with fur and military helicopter flew took it and we never heard about it since then i think this could be explained by an impotent including financial impotence of the economic science them bush is expected seems to have those involved going in circles and so it seems that until concrete

evidence is found the discovery of big food remains at the feet and ration ocean r.t. reported from siberia. there are not as in other stories making headlines across the globe marine crews are pumping oil from a leaking container ship that stretch it out with new zealand's north island shore about thirty tons have already spilled into the sea after the vessel hit a reef or something weather is happening and then disrupting the operation it's fear the ship could break up and cause an environmental disaster. severe flooding has killed more than two hundred fifty people in thailand heavy downpours and overflowing rivers caused hospital evacuations and led to ancient buddhist temples being swamped by governments and so on four hundred water pumps along rivers in the capital are also digging canals on the city's outskirts about eight million people have been affected by floods and mudslides in thailand since july.
