sent this yeah boy in business in twenty minutes. it's three pm in moscow this is coming to you live on the news now with our top story egypt's military rulers imposed an overnight curfew on cairo's tahrir square and other parts of the capital it follows a violent eruption between coptic christians and security forces that have left at least twenty four people that what began as a peaceful rally calling for justice over attacks on churches and radicalism quickly turned into the most violent episode since february revolution military vehicles are clearly seen charging through crowds and plowing into people while army infantry fired rubber bullets and tear gas witnesses claim the escalation was sparked by unconnected troublemakers but state owned media blames christian protesters for instigating the violence the editor in chief of the country's only

christian newspaper says the new regime is reluctant to address their concerns for fear of a majority islamic backlash. to churches and to. property and to loot the coals. for the what they do in the is that is the goal isn't to just i'm sorry to say those who want to be our soon since the illusion is set to be in the situation but on the same time that school in the world sunday was because all islamist factions of militant islam the solid stream the reaction and the behavior of the government to think security at the rate this in front of militant islamists is extremely reluctant to enforce the rule of law.

the signal to these factions in the government that is is not to ready to confront and. they are continuously used by this system as. they say to the strengths of that region. as religious tensions come to a head in egypt international relations expert mark almond says the owner ourselves the country secular status is under threat the development of the situation is becoming very alarming and it's alarming because of the religious division but it also is alarming for the political future of egypt which of was supposed to start a collection in six weeks and 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 an exam and at the time when people were expecting a revolution this didn't get much attention then when the revolution came when it

seemed at least in the center of cairo to be peaceful. crowds and chanting 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 dictatorship if you like to being an islamic dictatorship but many will be many more people who'd be happy to live in who will ensure that there are significant groups ten percent of the population christians for there are many security interests really all depends who would find themselves probably very much less free than they have been for her birth if such an islamic group and. still to come on our two europeans find that being protected from poverty is becoming an empty planet financially hard pressed nations target basic social programs to balance their books putting a dampener on the blanks opposed to wiping out homelessness by twenty fifteen.

years of the syrian opposition or in moscow for talks drawing to the point of the crisis which according to the u.n. has already taken the lives of nearly three thousand people. poland's prime minister is on course to become the first in a generation to be reelected exit polls from sunday's elections say donal to the center right party is almost ten percent clear of his main rival but he's already served a full term which included efforts to warm relations with russia our correspondent . following the cap. from what we've seen 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 after 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 polish president lech kaczynski it also 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 straight 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 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 nine hundred eighty nine the same party has been 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 poles

have been voting for the prime minister spot even despite the voter turnout has been rather low for additional politically active polls and the era of power for the last four years have signified much improving relations between poland and russia in particular after the tragic smolensk crash which killed most of the country's political elite along with the country's president we are 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 and the relations with russia will stay on the same level. more stories to come for you here on our t.v. this hour as we take a closer look at america and pakistan's rocky relations to explore the chances of washington taking action against islam which is depicted by some as a terrorist safe haven with a nuclear arsenal and powerful friends also. cluster bombing their

responsibility to protect civilians that's how our experts scribed what nato forces are doing right in the libyan city of syria hear more of those insights in just a few minutes. but first europe's social welfare programs which have been the eves pride and joy for decades faced the acts of the economic crunch bites deeper among them are poverty safety nets which provide food and care for those living on the streets or struggling to make ends meet but as artie's daniel bushell reports now from france 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. 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 enforced claiming that one in seven french people now live below the poverty line with state will stare at the movies being blamed for this soup kitchen else like paris social workers say they've shocked 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 euro a month the state safety nets well below that meaning many at desperate five

hundred year a month that's what i now get from the government that puts a roof over my head but that's 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 to 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. they call them is skimping on the polls not even good economics the promise of treating health and crime problems linked with low for the streets for a will to save by cuts the benefits system i mean should certainly support people who are who are very poor and cannot avoid poverty trap frauds is for me charities

are warning of a humanitarian crisis as homeless numbers spiral out of control in their parallel world mean world e.u. chiefs congratulate themselves the homelessness is coming to an end don't you bush you all to. the certainly e.u. is in line to get a helping hand from the world's fastest emerging economies a top russian official says moscow and other brics nations are willing to help the e.u. get above water in its crippling debt crisis but there is a condition as our correspondent tom barton now explains. this news comes from the presidential economic aide our candy dvorkovich who said there have been meetings recently between the foreign minister sergei lavrov the ex finance minister of russia could ruin spain's finance minister so folks focusing primarily on spain in those meetings raised 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 with the 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 as 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 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 in the cave unless you're a shelter or at least discover some traces of this 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. 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 in america that pakistan's government is sheltering terrorists some in washington are even ready to support action against islamabad as can reports. the drums of war beating loud and clear washington calls pakistan a safe haven for terrorists we cannot hear the news coming across the border attacking our forces attacking afghanistan afghanistan east and then disappearing back into a safe haven. 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 c.e.o. 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 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 is also counterproductive it's the people of the two want to been friends in this by dickins 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 u.s. 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 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 going to check our reporting from washington r t. i just over fifteen minutes time watch artie's crosstalk debate on 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 artie's your group is following the meeting. members of the syrian opposition are in moscow they've met with russia's and more two african nations me not to go off 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 pretty much

it seems prudent to understand that russia's veto is 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 they should go ahead with genuine not formal reforms and didn't gauge in 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 u.n. it's already taken the lives of nearly three thousand people just earlier we've heard from president need be said to that syria is in desperate need of democratic reform and even that if the current of stories 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 unfolded in are still unfolding in libya so russia blocked to the western back to you on resolution which did not exclude the chances are for military intervention

currently russia and china are proposing their own resolution which condemns both sides for the violence of last week i thought he says here in 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. what are you dot com right now you can discover how the arab spring is echoing across the atlantic with what's being called the american auto the anti greed wall street campaigners refuse to quit their camps gaining traction across the country. also online british intelligence rings the alarm 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 allusive but everyone's given up when a team of specialists think they've zoned in on the creature's whereabouts in

russia as we have an ocean of reports from siberia the yeti also known as big food snowman whole sus quote has been exciting scientists an enthusiast 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 or monday few places are thought to be roamed by yet 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 at least their spiritual support.

shaman the debt 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 think it never has a human stopped food 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 is 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 hands 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 more so cold markers we come across to the guards in the middle of a burden 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 we 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 this will be your it's a snow man the monster of tiger many saw him with signs of its presence as if it wants us to know it exists but it doesn't want to be discovered. but takes petition mascot on the explorer saying chances are very high to meet the yeti over there in the cave in shelter or at least discover some traces of this crater so let's go there if the snow men or at least new signs of its existence i discovered how many knowledge this tide of these creatures could deliver a blow to the many skeptics and sure enough the clues emerge there is what seems to be. a toe in the field like you've been suggesting but it's pretty certainly not

a bad the scientists agree while remaining cautious of jumping to conclusions but this is a surface for which we're tracking and there's only that one interesting line here i'm certain that you are right there. on the right. foot playing hopscotch she would like to see a left foot. best the left one has never been discovered and celebrations on hold 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 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 or it was a case in the usa it is covered astray. 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 feet. reporting from siberia. well look now at some world news in brief for you this hour marine crews are pumping oil from a town or stamp that stranded off new zealand's north island shore about thirty tons have already spilled into the sea after the vessel hit a reef worsening weather is hampering hampering disrupting and and disrupting the operation and feared the city could break up and cause an environmental disaster.

colonel gadhafi his hometown is close to falling under the control of libya's interned government forces but the national transition council says it will only declare the country's liberation once the city of syria is cancer heavy civilian casualties are being reported and thousands of people have been trying to escape the concept that they ask of our from p a's at times says the media's attention on the battle means it's ignoring the high human cost. the only coverage that you see in western mainstream media corporate media is about the advances of this so-called true revolutionary forces this is not a resolution this is a civil war which was at the top to close by the nato powers in the us so in terms of its decision population searches a city be there more than a hundred thousand have been inserted. ten thousand let's not twenty thousand there still most of the civilian population still dish they were bombed by nato nato bomb
