a lot of women is a global figure for women's rights and education and in the forty's education but what has happened is over the as what my lot of status was changed and it's as you would say five years ago a lot of one pretty aware of us from the under regular political school was it raising her voice against the taliban at that point when it happened she became more famous opera being shocked then when she was before that so there was a lot of you know kind of a mixed opinion about malala and in various courts as people even criticised and an agent of the west but that was because a lot of people want to return and she was but how does one learn blossom there and . what she has done with us. is also an amazing struggle in amazing johnny how she has created this for fun and then go on global with what you saw i think that more but i'm bracing pattern in pakistan then they have a five years ago. well exactly

a few. in fighting to mobilize and try to persuade our parents and grandparents many of the like minded back to back to back us not sure anymore but it's not the right deal i'm not sure i'd direction from here but all the older generation persuadable i travelled from london to the english market town of spalding where seventy percent voted to leave the e.u. the challenge for those trying to stop bricks it is to change people's minds in towns like spalding and that still feels like an uphill struggle there is a measure of georgia. that i don't think you can. get on with. the man who led spaulding's leave campaign says this month's agreement on the transition covering british e.u. relations for almost two years off to bret's it means the end is in sight offing that is the final nail in the coffin for the you or i shall die hards on second referendum the transition to green. is imply and i think what we all need to do now

is a rally around the prime minister in the government and work to govern the national interest to build the best possible deal but back in london not much sign of rallying round another and group sets off on a battle bus tour around britain supported by some big names in british politics i accept that whatever happens in terms of any effort. to stop it which is take it to a different course in the one the peoples in the viceroy said that's very difficult but i think millions of people believe the country's made its own mistake. and this just can't come this isn't sustainable the referendum was meant to settle the issue of britain in europe for once and for all it doesn't yet feel it has any diehard remain as have learnt one thing from the anti e.u. opponents it's place never give up on a seemingly hopeless cause bodily phillips al-jazeera london. well still ahead here
