to form a coalition with other parties in order for his party to have the second spell of power in a row but 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 in fact is 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 poll has with every election this it'll be the first time since one thousand nine. hours being reelected and the same prime minister will stay power for another four years this is not a surprise to many experts as they have been many surveys and many polls suggesting that polls 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 polls have been voting for the prime minister spots even despite the voter turnout has

cave a nest or a shelter or at least discover some traces of things creature so let's go there. are to follow the hunt for the world's most elusive creature with specialists who say they're closer than ever to fighting. but first in pakistan a dozen al-qaeda linked suspects were arrested after afghanistan demanded the u.s. put more pressure on his lot of bad to fight terrorism but it's not enough to eliminate thoughts in the us that pakistan's government may be sheltering terrorists some of washington are even ready to support action against as lot of bad as artie's reports. the drums of war beating loud and clear washington calls pakistan a safe haven for terrorists we can now hear the counties coming across the border attacking our forces attacking afghanistan and afghanistan he said and then disappearing back into a safe haven that is next to the economy network for one acts as
2:11 am
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 links 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 attacks is not against our sovereignty it's also counterproductive it's the people that you want to build as friends in this by them after the latest threats from washington fearing an even tougher assault thousands of pakistanis angrily rally. to say
2:12 am
enough is enough for these people the us is a hostile power it's china that they see is 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. 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 pakistanis 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 a 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.
2:13 am
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 top faction 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 going to check our reporting from washington our team. and in the next hour our team is cross talk to bait talks about what's ahead for the u.s. pakistan fragile relationship. because 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 one it's it's an one it's a which both sides lie to each other but it's like a very bad marriage where both sides were unfaithful to the other two continued we could see america moving towards a continuum containing block of stone but i don't think that's going to happen i
2:14 am
think it's. most pakistanis understand they need a good relationship going to be culturally politically there's no imperial ambition there we're trying to get out we try to punish the people who attack 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. steven 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's enough. big foot has gone by many names and been the subject of many stories but actually setting eyes on one has proved

a little difficult not everyone's given up though when a team of specialists think they've zoned in on the creatures whereabouts in russia as maria and ocean reports from siberia. the yeti also known as big food snowman hole 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 a lister spiritual support.

2:18 am
be. even suggested but certainly not a bad the scientists agree while remaining cautious. of jumping to conclusions but this is beautiful surface for the rich for tracking and there's always that one interesting when you're uncertain if you are right there. is another right. big 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. the study that'll take a while could provide cost iran proof of the yet is existence but there are plenty
