forty percent of the votes with their main compact it is the party of the twin brother of the of the late polish president lech kaczynski who also will garner around thirty percent when all the votes counted so far these results seem to be proving rather accurate this will not be the straight victory for don't post you will still have to form a coalition with other parties in order for his party to have the second spell its power in a row but if you aspirants 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 part is could be have 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 four years with every election this it'll be the first time since one thousand nine hundred to say party has been reelected and the same prime minister will stay power for another four

years this is not a surprise to many experts there have been many surveys in 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 polls have been voting for the prime minister's party even despite that the voter turnout has been rather low for traditionally politically active polls and the era of don't know to start power of the last four years have signified much improving relations between poland and russia in particular after the tragic smolinski crash which killed most of the country's political elite along with the country's president we are expecting that he be confirmed as the country's prime minister for the second spell that we expect that he would not change his foreign policy and the relations with russia will stay on the same level. more stories to come for you here on our to you this hour as we take a closer look at america and pakistan's rocky relations and explore the chances of

spain in those meetings a raise the possibility of russia being able to buy some of spain's debt and so provide extra help for the debt crisis he also said that of the brics countries brazil russia india china and south africa could try and help economically would be use economic woes but there is a big but it relies on the e.u. coming up with a clear plan to try and contain the debt crisis that is currently sweeping across the eurozone we all know about the problems in greece italy and spain credit ratings have recently been downgraded again raising fears of major debt problems there so russia says it's true it's too early at the moment to talk about any concrete plans to start buying up spanish debt we want to see a unanimous plan first. we'll report from siberia in a few minutes and join

a group that's trying to bag the beast. this story saying cannes is a very high to me to get it over there pay the necessary shelter or at least discover some traces of this so let's go there are three powers the hunt for the world's most elusive creature with solace for say they're closer than ever. in pakistan a dozen al-qaeda linked suspects have been arrested after afghanistan demanded the u.s. put more pressure on islamabad to fight terrorism but it's not enough to eliminate thoughts on america that pakistan's government is sheltering terrorists some in washington are even ready to support action against islamabad as we can report. the drums of war beating loud and clear washington calls pakistan a safe haven for terrorists we can now hear the news coming across the border attacking their fortunes of. afghanistan east and then disappearing into

a safe that is next here carney 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 those names of 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 u.s. 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 called productive and it's the people that we want to build as friends in this fight against terrorism after the latest threats from washington earing an even tougher assault thousands of pakistanis

angrily rallies to say enough is enough for these people the us is a hostile power it's china that they see is a friend and the americans in this one instance have hand it over a major hearts and minds victory to the chinese in pakistan inspiring 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 it 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 you clear problems at hand sounds like a deadly combination for the united states i'm going to check our reporting from washington our team. just over fifteen minutes time watch artie's cross talk to begun what's ahead for the u.s. and pakistan's fragile relations. russia says its veto of the latest u.n. resolution against syria was not designed to indulge president assad's regime the statement comes as a delegation from the syrian opposition is in moscow to discuss a way out of the current situation in the inflamed country artes you go is following the meeting. clamors of the syrian opposition or in moscow the match with

russia's and more into african nations may feel more like yours and the main message being told to them at the moment is that even though moscow did block the u.n. draft resolution on syria it does not support president assad's regime much pull its includes to understand that russia's beating was not designed to give a free hand or carte blanche to president assad's regime if the syrian government has missed the message it's high time to understand it should go ahead with genuine not formal reforms it didn't go to dialogue with all sides of the conflict not only those who are comfortable partners moscow has been furiously criticizing the violence in syria throughout the entire conflict and according to the un it's already taken the lives of nearly three thousand people just earlier we've heard from president meet beautiful said that syria is in desperate need of democratic reform and even that if the current of tories will not be able to put these reforms through they would have to go but peacefully and not a result of any foreign military forces getting involved similar to how the events

unfolding are still unfolding in libya so russia block to the western backed the u.n. resolution which did not exclude the chances of foreign military intervention clearly russia and china are proposing their own resolution which condemns both sides for the violence of last week of forty syrian moscow met with representatives of the syrian authorities but they are still here they say they are not ready to hold any negotiations with the oppositions just yet. i don't see dot com right now you can discover how the arab spring is going across the atlantic with what's being called the american auto as the answer greed wall street campaigners refuse to quit their camps are gaining traction across the country. also online british intelligence rings be alarmed over an increased terror threat next summer's london olympics saying little can be done to prevent well planned attacks. now bigfoot

has gone by many names and been the subject of countless stories but actually laying hands on one has been proved has proved more than loose it never once given up when a team of specialists think they've zone taken on the creatures whereabouts in russia as we have reports from siberia. the yeti also known as big food whole subsequent has been exciting scientists and enthusiastic from all over the world for more than a century but explorers have never had enough evidence to determine that this separately 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 yeltsin's and this is where the scientists from around the globe have come for the largest expansion of its kind since the nineteenth fifties to set out what's never been done before to finally catch the creature. first we go to get blessing from baselines indigenous

inhabitants and the least their spiritual support. shaman and doesn't have any doubts i'm not sure i can tell you that yes he does exist. encouraged we continue our journey the path goes through impassable tiger fake it never has a human steps from here before but perhaps an altogether larger and harriet creature has in the hunt for the evidence every minor detail becomes important ranches to mr clyde queers are 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 hands of fingers to do and humans cannot do this way either as they are just not strong enough to give you we go into the forest the

more so cold marco's we come across to the gods in the middle of the birds and tiger forest are also high interest the participants of this expedition are saying it's not just wind falling trees the branches they could have been put in this way deliberately by someone and the other stroke of luck i meet a local who says he saw a tall man like harry creature nearby he points the way here in to make the journey with us school with your it's a snow man and the monster of idea when he saw signs of it's presence as if it wants us to know it exists but it doesn't want to be. with but the expression mask on thanks for saying cannes is a very high to me yet over there in the cave a natural 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 i 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. i told you. it was really certainly not a bad the scientists agree while remaining cautious. of jumping to conclusions this is a beautiful surface for richer for tragedy and there's always that one interesting when you're uncertain if you are right there. in the right. foot playing hopscotch should like to see a left but that's the left one has never been discovered and celebrations on hold but these are 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 at all take

a while could provide cost i run proof of the yet is existence but there are plenty here who want to be held in their breath. even if you bring them snowmen dead or alive the skeptics will say that's a pathology or a mutation it was a case in the usa they discovered a strange body all 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 including financial importance of the economic science them vicious expeditions 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 greek feat ration ocean r.t. reported from siberia. a look now at some world news in brief for you this hour crews are pumping oil from a leaking town or step that stranded off new zealand's north island shore about
