it's seven pm in moscow this is coming to you live on news and now with our top story this evening where the tensions in egypt that intensified following the fall of mubarak have now grown into full scale riots over twenty people were killed and hundreds injured as clashes erupted between coptic christians and security forces in cairo what began as a peaceful rally calling for justice over attacks on christian churches by muslim extremists quickly turned into the most violent episode since february revolution military vehicles were clearly seen charging through crowds and plowing into people army infantry fired rubber bullets and tear gas it's still unclear who sparked the fatal scenes but state owned media has placed blame with the christian protesters the editor in chief of the country's only christian newspaper says the new regime

is reluctant to address their concerns in fear of a majority islam a backlash. militant islamists feel free to churches and to at their property and to loot to coincide every time they skate with what they do know by the others it is the girl who is an addict it just i'm sorry to say that to you at three i would assume since there is illusion there is a setup in the situation but on the same time it's growing worse and worse because all islamist factions and one of them is the subset three the reaction and the behavior of the government with with security. in front of militant islamists is extremely reluctant to enforce the rule of law. but this is a very dangerous signal to these factions the. we go in there is slow today due

to very confronting to the globe as it continues to be used by these islamists as this balloon finally sorry to the strength of. we're always keen to know what you think about our stories today we're asking you why violence erupted in egypt just eight months after the uprising toppled the country's leaders about forty percent of you so far are sure that will soon see soon see a regime far worse than that of hosni mubarak about a fifth point to a sectarian rift is the main reason for the violence meanwhile the rest of you are split between two options whether egypt's enemies from overseas are instigating the clashes or the february revolution is simply not over yet. and clashes continue in syria where opposition supporters are following in the footsteps of egyptian revolutionaries later in the program we'll look at how rush

a might help find a way to end the conflict as syrian opposition members. as syrian opposition members gather in moscow to discuss the situation in the country. for the first time ever a polish prime minister look set to clinch a second term in office with more than ninety percent of the votes counted donnel to six civil platform party has a strong lead in sunday's parliamentary election has presided over four years of economic growth and warming relations in russia are just correspondent in eastern europe alexei or seventy he's following the count. 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 compact it is the party of

the twin brother of the fall 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 you 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. 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 their 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 state power for another four years this is not a surprise to many experts as there 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 spot even despite that the voter turnout has been rather low for additional politically active poland 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. still ahead in the program here on r t blame game america uses pakistan a terrorist and fears that the u.s. may now lose a major ally in the so-called war on terror. thanks for saying chances are very

country's ongoing violence. has been following the talks. merz of the syrian opposition are in moscow they've met with russia's and more two african nations me . and the main message being told to them at the moment is that even though moscow did block could be one 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 to gauge you 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 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 unfolded in are still unfolding in libya so russia blocked to the western backed the u.n. resolution which did not exclude the chances 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. pakistan has arrested a dozen now kind of links suspects that follows increasing pressure from the us which accused the country of sheltering terrorists and well officially that you see eye to eye on many issues some in washington are ready to support action against

islam about as good it's to can report. the drums of war beating loud and clear. washington calls pakistan a safe haven for terrorists we cannot hear. coming across the border attacking our forces attacking afghanistan afghanistan 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 things 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 as being bombing pakistan with drones on

a regular basis the strikes have killed thousands of civilians use of going to tax is not against our sovereignty it's also counterproductive and it's the people that we want to build as friends in the spiked against terrorism after the latest threats from washington nearing 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 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 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 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. in about fifteen minutes artie's cross-talk debate focuses on what interests us is pursuing in pakistan. there's no imperial ambitions there that

we're trying to get out we try to punish the people who attack the united states we don't see most of that and there's a lot of arguing for getting out very quickly certainly obama much of the right ministry of the republicans want to get out about going to very quickly 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 nothing. it's coming up to eighteen minutes past the hour let's take a look at some world news in brief libya's revolutionary forces say they are closer than ever to taking full control of moammar gadhafi his home. they made significant advances by capturing the university the main hospital and convention center that was the key base of the colonel's realist heavy fighting however still rages in

demanded an international investigation into the events in northern kosovo the first deputy prime minister of serbia told us he believes nato troops are biased in settling the dispute between belgrade and pristina you can watch the interview with . the net in the next hour here on r t here's a quick preview. the latest events in the north of serbia show two facts but first the prishtina is about to set up customs around what they think is the independent state of kosovo on the other hand they show that there are international unions and a whole number of states that approve pristine is in tension as we're facing a situation here when international forces deployed in cost of i in fact christine is needs rather than maintain a neutral position we need to find a way out of the situation where on the one hand there are countries that acknowledge the one sided proclamation of independence and on the other hand there

is serbia which does not recognize the initiative. and found an unfounded arousing fear and curiosity in equal measure evidence of the existence of bigfoot remains elusive however the hunt for the yeti says no sign of ending the no snow took part in a siberian expedition to track down a legit. 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 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 least their spiritual support. shaman a dashed 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 impossible tiger fake it 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 enema lls 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 more so cold markers we come across to the gods in the middle of the virgin tiger

forest are also high interest the participants of these 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 explore say 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 and sure enough the clues emerge there is what seems to be. the talk back even security vulnerability 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 one interesting mind you i'm certain you were 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 are put on hold these are the real thing or they're convenient props to make every news 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 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 i think this could be explained by an impotent including financial in between severe economic signs 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.
