of caution where the emphasis will go today more market analysis and business in the twenty minutes. it's nine am in moscow i matras are good to have you with us here on r t our top story poland's prime minister is on course to become the first in a generation to be reelected donnel to its already served a full term and exit polls from sunday's elections say his center right party is almost ten percent clear of his main rival but it's not an outright win our correspondent in eastern europe alexei or shows he is live with the latest hello alexi so the official count isn't in yet could there be any surprises though when it's all said and done. well from what we've see so far there will be no surprises as to who is going to win the election in poland the exit poll results which were published straight up to the polling stations were closed on sunday night suggested

that prime minister party the civic platform will garner around forty percent of the votes with their main competitors the party of the twin brother of the of the late president. will garner around thirty percent with all the votes counted so far these results seem to be proving rather accurate this will not be the great victory for don't know if he will still have to form a coalition with other parties in order for his party to have the second spell of power. few experts have any doubts that the prime minister would be able to form a coalition with several other parties and take a second spell at power in poland this could be proved to be a very historic move because since nine hundred eighty nine polls have been changing their government and the ruling party every single every election will be the first time since. the same party has been reelected and the same prime minister

will stay another four years this is not a surprise to many experts have been many surveys and many polls suggesting that poles have been very happy with their government with the way poland handled the global recession and this is probably one of the main factors why the poles have been voting for the prime minister even despite that the voter turnout has been rather low for. really politically active polls and. what could this mean for the polish russian relationship. well the era of. the last four years have signified very much improving relations between poland and russia in particular after the tragic crash which killed most of the country's political elite along with the country's president been many. many experts have been saying that the relations have been improving since then with lots of help coming from the russian side in the investigation and many coming from the leadership in.

expecting that should he be confirmed as the country's prime minister for the second spell that we expect that he would not change his foreign policy maniacs be talking about that and the relations with russia will stay on the same level is known to be a liberal european party but at the same time for all the actions we've seen from the he's been trying to keep very warm and very close relations with moscow as well something which will probably change in his second spell of power which is expected to be confirmed either late on monday or early and she was the one all the votes have been counted all right artie's lex harris reporting live thanks very much. stay with us here on r.t. still to come the pledge on protecting people from poverty he used to wipe out almost no one could cross the threshold of financially hard pressed countries targeted basic social programs to balance the books. later we hear how nato

forces have adopted libya's civil war by hitting civilians instead of moving the country toward peace. expert insight in a few minutes. but before we get to that egypt's military rulers imposed an overnight curfew on cairo's tahrir square and other parts of the capital due to be lifted around now it follows a violent eruption between coptic christians and security forces that left at least twenty four dead what started as a peaceful rally call. for justice over attacks on churches and radicalism quickly turned into the most violent episode since february's revolution paramilitary vehicles clearly seen charging through the crowds plowing into people while you army infantry fired rubber bullets and tear gas witnesses claim the escalation was sparked by unconnected troublemakers but state owned media claims christian protesters for instigating the violence there our federation is expert mark allman

says the unarrest shows egypt secular status is under threat. the development of the situation is becoming very well made and it's alarming because of the religious tradition but it also is a well meant glue to egypt show was supposed to start. in six weeks current choose a new column late last year we began to sort of see violence between cops and islamic groups islamic groups and pressure and it was in cities like xander and at the time when people were really expecting revolution this didn't get much attention then when the revolution came when it seemed the beast in central cairo to be brutally peaceful. crowds and chanting people who will be tensions across egypt in the room. with the local christian community and it's a really big question you see symbolically is egypt going to go from being a secular dictatorship if you like to being an islamic dictatorship but many will be many more people who would be happy to live in islamic rule in that there are

significant groups ten percent of the population christians were many secular education spending all institutions who would find themselves probably could be much less free than they had been also briefly if such an islamic group and. r.t. documents the timeline of how the revolutionary enjoy in egypt turned into disillusionment and even suspicion that's on our website r t v dot com by first hand reports on what became the main stumbling block to rejection democracy and why tahrir square remains i keep battle site. also on line british intelligence rings the alarm over in. increase the terror threat to next year's summer london olympics saying little can be done to prevent a well planned attack in. europe social welfare programs have been the pride and joy for decades face the axe as the

you minutes here apart from siberia join a group that's trying to bag. the explorer saying chances are very high to me over there. point please just. go that party follows the world's most exclusive. creature with specialists who say they're closer than ever to binding. but first in pakistan a dozen al qaeda linked suspects have been arrested after afghanistan demanded the u.s. put more pressure on his lama bad to fight terrorism but that's not enough to eliminate thoughts in the u.s. pakistan's government may be sheltering terrorists some in washington are even ready to support action against as bad as artie's. reports. the drums of war beating loud and clear washington calls pakistan a safe haven for terrorists we cannot have coming across the border attacking us

forces attacking afghanistan afghanistan and then 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 useless going to die is not against our sovereignty it's also counterproductive it's the people that we want to build as friends in this by dickins terrorism after the latest threats from

washington fearing an even tougher assault thousands of pakistanis angrily rallied to say and nuff is enough for these people the us is a hostile power it's china that they see as a friend in the americas 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 if

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. in about two hours our teams cross talk to bates what's ahead for u.s. pakistani relations. american and pakistani interests 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 lie and 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 contending pockets 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 bombings killing of wedding parties at some point isn't it time to say enough. big foot has gone by many names and been the subject of many stories but actually

laying eyes on one has proved more than elusive that everyone has given up a team of specialists think they've zoned in on the creatures whereabouts in russia as our team or a few notion or reports from siberia. the yeti also known as big food and whole 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 this lions indigenous inhabitants and the list their spiritual support.

shaman and doesn't have any doubts i'm not shocking to 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 ranches twisted like this are believed to be a key clue to the his existence the scientists say it could not have been done by enemies as they don't have heads of 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 to school but with you it's gnome and the monster of tiger many saw was signs of its presence as if it wants us to know it exists but it doesn't want. 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

of this type of these creatures could deliver a blow to the many skeptics and sure enough the clues emerge there is what seems to be. like even just a few but certainly not a bad the scientists agree while remaining cautious. of jumping to conclusions but this is beautiful surface for richer for tragedy 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 that. 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's expedition 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 all shouty reporting from siberia. to you now to some other stories making headlines across the globe marine crews are pumping oil from a leaking container ship stranded off new zealand's a north island shore about thirty tons already spilled into the sea after the

see in western mainstream media corporate media is about the adventures of this so-called true revolutionary forces this is not a resolution this is a civil war which was adopted oh by the nato powers in the us so in terms of its decision population six is a city be there more than a hundred thousand and six. ten thousand left at twenty thousand there's still most of the civilian population still dish you were bombed by nato needs a woman at least half of the sitting clue thinks what they said was scouting installations all across town this is that cluster all the. responsibility to protect leaks was theoretically the reason. you mean each area intervention in libya so if the good guys are being attacked by cut off if forces are to be up lax but if the bad guys are ensconced in seriously for instance r two

consolidate their efforts to create this we see some new swells from greece so from the european countries or some other point so it's really the difference of european authorities we will definitely see the media direction of the market depends on what the news world will be so i am definitely sure that will that it will stay in place what we still hope as all the investors hope that they still will have some foundations to get into a more positive. and swindlers prefer cards to catch up to seventy nine million dollars may disappear from people splat stick in russia by the end of the here but you're not a bill that has this account. in the first half of this year russian banks have lost seventy percent more money from illegal credit and debit card operations than in the same period last year and this number is actually very alarming considering that the overall number of operations has increased by just thirty seven percent or so separately stolen over a billion rubles for a private bank account and the forecast is just to one point four billion more
