use pride and joy for decades space the acts as the economic crunch bites 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 tuesday reports from friends there's always a catch to cutting back. the 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. with the e.u. itself about 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 a coming through our doors. protesters are angry that spending cuts target the poor but they're also furious saying they're being lied to with elections next april the song because the administration claims

poverty on his watch has dropped below fourteen percent charities on the ground say the real figures hoyer and roy's inforced claim mean that one in seven french people now live below the poverty line with states all stare at the movies being blamed at this soup kitchen else like paris social workers say the short by how many now call this their only meal the most common reason given is government cuts to social spending the income below which people are defined officially as living in poverty in france is just under a thousand euros a month the state safety nets well below that meaning many a desperate five hundred euros a month is what i now get from the government to 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 on the unemployment

period with job seekers being squeezed out of social security the face of europe's homeless is getting even younger could sell you 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 economists say skimping on the pause not even good economics the price of treating health and crime problems linked with life on the streets for way whatever save by cuts to the benefit system and they should certainly support people who are who are very poor and cannot avoid poverty trap france's four main charities are warning of a humanitarian crisis as homeless numbers spiral out of control in their parallel world meanwhile e.u. chiefs congratulate themselves the homelessness is coming to an end the new push to altie. stay with us here on r.t. coming up later this hour an unprecedented political win in poland prime minister

donald tusk in line for a 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 a 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 almond

says on arrest shows egypt's secular status will be under threat. the development of the situation is becoming very well me and it's a lawman because of the religious division but it also is a well meant the political future of egypt to show was supposed to start at selection in six weeks current newcomb late last year we can discuss all seems violence between culp's and islamic groups islamic groups and pressure and is in cities like an exam and at the time when people were really expecting revolution this didn't get much attention then when the revolution pain when it seemed to be stood in central cairo to be brutally peaceful. crowds and chanting people who will be tensions. in the room. with the local christian community and it's a really big question see symbolically it is egypt going to do from being a secular dictatorship if you like to being in the islamic to. the main will be many more people who. rule the world significant attempts and

questions that were many second rejections to me. who would probably should be much less free when they had. me and. r.t. documents the timeline of how the revolutionary joy in egypt turned into disillusionment and suspicion on our website our. reports on what became the main stumbling block to egyptian democracy and why talk here swear remains a battle site. also online british intelligence rings the alarm over an increased terror threat to next summer's london olympics saying a little can be done to prevent well planned attacks. poems prime minister is set to become the first in

a generation to be reelected donald already served a full term and 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 artie's correspondent in eastern europe alexei he explains ahead of the final results. we received the exit poll results suggest that the policy of the current prime minister don't need to sleep civic platform party has managed to garner almost forty percent of the votes something about thirty nine percent of the votes with his main competitor the twin brother of the late polish president lech kaczynski it also his party the lone justice party has managed to gone something about thirty percent of the vote this is certainly a victory for the. as 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 some don't go 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. 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 poland has managed to survive the global recession and the era 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 missed the midst of the

locals for the strengthening ties between moscow and warsaw. and a few minutes we report from siberia a group that's trying to bag. the explorer saying chances are very high to me over there in the cave. only please discover some traces of things. let's go that 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 islamic to fight terror but that's not enough to eliminate thoughts in the us that pakistan's government is sheltering terrorists some in washington are even ready to support action against islam a bad as artie's got reports. the drums of war beating loud and clear washington calls pakistan

a safe haven for terrorists we can. coming across the border attacking our forces attacking afghanistan afghanistan he said and disappearing back into a safe. 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 you know it says things that many terrorist organizations around the world which by which we mean 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 drone attacks

is not against our sovereignty it is also counterproductive it's the people of the two want to be friends in the spite 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 as a friend in the americans in this one instance have hand it over 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 failure of u.s. policies on pakistan but the blame game may blow up into full scale aggression the experts believe that we need to elevate our response they will have a lot of bipartisan support on capitol hill u.s. lawmakers have already signaled that if there is the will for tough action against pakistan they'll support it and when washington says the words safe 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 i'm kind of reporting from washington our team. 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 watch are to use crosstalk debate on what's ahead for us pakistan relations. because american and pakistani interests are so different you know afghanistan and with regard to support for these terrorist groups we could see

a move of american policy from alliance with pakistan which is a nominal it's an alliance 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 containing containing pakistan but i don't think that's going to happen i think it's most pakistanis understand they need america back in relationship not going to be culturally politically there's no imperial ambition there we're trying to get out we're trying to punish the people who attacked the united states we've done some most of that and there's a lot of argument for getting out very quickly certainly obama and much of the right ministry of the republicans want to get out about going to very quickly jake if you want to jump in there. 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 ten years of this no constraints drone attacks assassinations bombing and killing of wedding parties at some point isn't

it time to say enough so nuff. for something completely different bigfoot has gone by many names and been the subject of many stories but actually laying hands on one has proved more than elusive not everyone's given up a team of specialists think they've zoned in on the creature's whereabouts in russia as maria and ocean reports from siberia. the yeti also known as big food manhole sus quote has been exciting scientists and enthusiastic from all 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 mountainous forests in russia siberia are among the few places on earth thought to be roamed by yetis and this is where the scientists from around the globe have come for the largest expedition of its kind since the

nineteenth fifties to set out what's never been done before to finally catch the creature. but first we go to get blessing from baselines indigenous inhabitants and least their spiritual support. shaman and doesn't have any doubts i'm not sure i can tell you that but yes he does exist. encouraged we continue our journey the path goes through impassable tiger fake it never has a human stepped foot here before but perhaps an altogether larger and harriott creature has in the hunt for the evidence every minor detail becomes important ranch is twisted like this believed to be a key clue to the s's existence the scientists say it could not have been done by

enemies as they don't have heads or fingers to do and humans cannot do it this way either as they are just not strong enough the deeper we go into the forest the most so-called markers we come across to the gods in the middle of a virgin tiger forest are also high interest the participants of this 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 fear him to make the journey with us school but with your it's a snowman the monster of tiger many saw signs of its presence as if it wants us to know it exists but it doesn't want to be discovered. but the expression must go on thanks for saying chances are very high to me to get over there in the cave

unless you're a shelter or at least discover some traces of this creature so let's go there if the snowman or at least new signs of its existence are discovered common knowledge the start of these creatures could deliver a blow to the many skeptics and sure enough the clues emerge there is what seems to be. a talk back even suggesting but certainly not a bad the scientists agree while remaining cautious. of jumping to conclusions but this is a beautiful surface for which for tracking and there's only that one interesting when you're uncertain that you are right there. on the right. foot playing hopscotch should like to see a left foot best the left one has never been discovered and celebrations on hold these are either the real thing or they're convenient props to make

a very good story but i wouldn't be quick to determine which of those two alternatives is the truth without further study the study that'll take a while could provide cost iran proof of the yet is existence but there are plenty here who want to be held in their breath. even if you bring them snow men dead or alive the skeptics will say that's a pathology or mutation it was a case in the usa it is covered a strange body all covered with fur the 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 academic 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 a big feat narration ocean r.t. reporting from siberia. turned out as some other stories making headlines across
