a truly universal system which for every year of contributed gives everyone the same rights whether they are workers shopkeepers researchers farmers civil servants doctors or entrepreneurs these transport workers say they worry their pensions could be reduced or they could be forced to work longer most people in france can retire at 62 but some transport workers can retire in their fifty's. pension schemes are sacred except of jobs with shift work we're responsible for public safety but now they want to take our rights away. we are being asked to take on increasingly difficult working conditions were losing what little compensation we had. many people in france regard the state public pension scheme as a pillar of the french social system previous french presidents who've tried to reform it have backed down off the public opposition reforming france's pending. system was one of a man all macros campaign promises but it's fraught with risk opinion polls suggest

that the french president's popularity is finally on the rise after a difficult year domestically because of the yellow face protests so he'll have to tread carefully if he wants to avoid a new wave of street demonstrations most french people probably accept the system needs changing it's no longer financially viable for the coming decade so it's a calculated risk but emanuel macro has gained in popularity since his good results in european elections and he's great national debate so he has momentum the government says it will draw proposed pension reforms after lengthy consultations with trade union leaders and the public a strategy the president may be gambling on to give him the green light to continue with his sweeping reform agenda but it won't be easy workers from other sectors are planning similar strikes in the coming weeks natasha butler al-jazeera paris.

a reflection of his promises to turn the country's economy around and end corruption. but the 1st year of his premiership hasn't gone as smoothly as you may have hoped or even expected especially in terms of the economy the pakistani rupee has lost 35 percent of its value during his time in office khan's critics call him the prime minister of the u. turn as he has been forced to go back on many of his campaign pledges in an attempt to rescue the situation. but have any of these u. turns had a positive impact on the country in terms of foreign affairs pakistan is closer than ever to its neighbor china but relations with its other neighbor india are at a new low are these 2 nuclear countries at risk of another major conflict or war. and how much improvement islamabad prime minister conor recently marked one year in office i sat down with him and discussed his government's controversies as well as

pakistan's foreign and domestic policies pakistani prime minister imran khan talks to al-jazeera. pakistani prime minister imran khan thank you for talking to al-jazeera you'll soon be at the u.n. g.a. in new york you'll. be making your debut there as the prime minister of pakistan what message do you hope to impart to the international community from their well under normal circumstances i would have. talked about climate change by just done as one of the few countries that is most vulnerable to climate change i would have spoken at length on that and secondly about islam islam a phobia the way muslims suffer from islam before especially living and western countries and of course in india islam a phobia in india right now muslims are subjected to persecution but because of what is happening in kashmir i would be i would be merely talking about the

situation at the united nations human rights council in geneva pakistan's foreign minister sharma mood crazy he made remarks saying that he believed that because of what india was doing in kashmir that india and pakistan could be led into an accidental war do you believe this is a possibility absolutely what is happening is that india is more or less conducted conducting a genocide the sort of racial attacks on the population i don't think it's been witnessed since nazi germany what is happening is the indian version of a final solution for the muslims of kashmir so it 1000000 muslims and kashmir under siege for almost 6 weeks. and why did this gun become a flashpoint between india and pakistan because what india what we know already and just india is trying to do is to divert attention from the illegal annexation and

the impending genocide on meet their draw they are taking the attention it away by blaming pakistan for terrorism and this is what the last february when the there was a suicide attack a young boy blew him self up against an indian military convoy and india blamed pakistan for it and then bombed us so we fear that this will happen again because what they're doing in kashmir will lead to a reaction some sort of a reaction and they will then blame pakistan for it to divert the world's attention from this the genocide in kashmir prime minister khan you're speaking about kashmir being a flashpoint of course that raises concerns about potential use of nuclear weapons either in pakistan or in india now recently you made remarks saying or at least the remarks were interpreted as you saying that pakistan would never use nuclear weapons 1st in any potential future conflict with india but then

a few days later pakistan's ministry of foreign affairs clarified that there had been no change to pakistan's nuclear defensive posture so there is some confusion now what exactly is pakistan stance and is there a scenario by which you could envision nuclear weapons being used 1st by pakistan as a defensive posture there is the confusion what i said was that pakistan would never start a war. and i'm clear i am a pacifist i'm anti war but what i said clearly was that when 2 nuclear armed countries fight if they fight a conventional war there is every possibility that it's going to end up into nuclear war the unthinkable i mean you know if if said pakistan for god forbid we fight a conventional war we're losing and if a country is stuck between the choice either you surrender or you fight till death

for your freedom. i know pakistanis will fight to death for their freedom so that when a nuclear armed country fights to the end to the death it has consequences so that's why i'm we have approached the united nations we have proposed we are we are approaching every international forum that there must act right now because this is a potential. a disaster which would go way beyond the indian subcontinent where do you stand now when it comes to potentially seeking dialogue with india because at 1st you had said you were open to it you had made overtures and then recently you said that's no longer the case from the time. i assumed office. was last august we have made jupiter it attempts to start a dialogue with india to mend to live a civilized neighbors result of our difference and there is only one difference

that's kashmir to resolve it through through a political settlement. and that wide trade was important between pakistan and india both countries of a from poverty both countries suffer from a huge impending disaster of climate change both of us of us have similar problems so i approach them that we should you know resume talks and sort out our differences. we repeatedly tried that all the time when we were trying to. do a start a dialog and. asked for talks we now i realize that this was misinterpreted this b.g.p. extreme right wing racist fascist government was treating as if we were scared of them or they took it as appeasement we were trying to please them and as a result we discovered that while we were trying to have dialogue they were trying

to push us in the blacklist in fact of if we are on the gray list that pakistan is pushed into the back blacklist of factor that means there will be sanctions on pakistan so they were trying to bankrupt us economically that's when we pull back and that's when we realize that this government is on an agenda this gender is to push pakistan to disaster so a so there's no question of talking to the indian government right now after the. revoke the article $370.00 of their own constitution and they annexed illegally against the united nations security council resolution which had guaranteed the people that they would be able to hold a referendum a plebiscite to decide the destiny so they have unilaterally. not only broken international laws but also their own constitution so there is no question

of talking to india in these circumstances so if downgrading of diplomatic ties hasn't changed india's stance toward kashmir and if cutting off trade ties with india hasn't changed their stance and if there is no longer a prospect of dialogue what else can pakistan do salute you there's not much more we can do except approach all the international organizations that was set up after the 2nd world war many the united nations so we are hoping that this is appealing to these institutions and the stronger countries in the world the superpower the us join our china is a supporter of russia european countries where we are approaching all of them that this flashpoint what is kashmir if they do not resolve it this has potential of having an impact on the entire world and unfortunately because of this whole thing about big markets you know countries look and markets and trade and

employment in their own countries they look upon india as a market of 1000000000 people. they do not realize that if they do not intervened right now this is consequences not just as i said on the subcontinent on world trade everyone will be affected by this you mention the us you talked about countries potentially intervening in this crisis and when you were in the united states in july and you met with president trump he had made a public offer to try to mediate in the dispute over kashmir between india and pakistan you were open to that prime minister modi was not do you think that this is something that could happen because just in the last few days president trump has said again that he would be willing to mediate do you believe this can happen you see 1st of all i mean you know we are thankful to president trump because. you know he is the president of the most powerful country in the world and if the united states the president of the united states intervenes in this and seriously

into weans it's it's one way that you can guarantee that there will be some sort of resolution secondly even if he doesn't intervene directly the united states has this power in the united nations security council. that can as a security council the the u.n. can act you see why i think. india is stonewalling the situation because india knows that once the international community gets involved then then the ruling will be for the people of the international community will insist on the people of kashmir exercising their right of self-determination i'd like to focus on another component of your meeting with president trump for just a minute because when you were there much of your meeting time was taken up with the issue of afghanistan now i want to ask what do you make of president trump basically calling off the peace talks with the taliban and how do you believe

that's going to impact the security situation for pakistan. well 1st let's just concentrate on of honest on billy from a human point of view everyone must want to. help the afghans get peace so therefore pakistan is playing its part whatever little influence we have on the taliban we have asked them to you know go on the dialogue table they've already the talks with the americans actually were at a pretty advanced state the only thing was now to get the taliban to talk to the yvonne government so that you know they can all get together and decide what they want to do not this is unfortunate what i think it's because of the bloodshed that is going on in afghanistan the idea that it is be you know talked dialogue and at the same time you're fighting that all is was going to be tricky so i hope that this is a temporary thing i hope that president trump will get the talks going again because

there is no other solution there is not going to be a military solution if there was in 1000 years there would have been one this is already the longest war fought by the americans so the only way out is getting back on the dialogue. are we spoke a lot about the security situation i want to turn for a bit to the economy how would you classify pakistan's economy many people say that it's failing many of your critics blame you including former finance minister is hocked or he blames you for the current economic crisis what do you say to that and to the other critics who are blaming you for had the economy is right. pakistan inherited the worst economy ever in our history we had the biggest current account deficit you know which in our history nor the government has had to face that moment that the rupee the moment we took over because there was a shortage of dollars because we were selling much less than we were buying from the world that meant there was

a pressure on our rupee and so the rupee devalued when the rupee devalues. the has to be inflation because everything import few. affects electricity because you know 40 percent of electricity is from imported fuel than gas we import l.n.g. that everything gets expensive so a country goes through a difficult period but the problem is we could headed to this huge deficit but the good news is that we have brought down the current account deficit by 70 percent we have exports are going up we've got tailed imports so the gap has narrowed in our current account deficit which means we're going in the right direction political leaders around the world they get branded with nicknames now surely you must be aware that there are critics of yours and others in pakistan who call you the prime minister of u. turns and they do so because they say you make u. turns on policy promises and and one such issue they talk about when they mention

this is they talk about your stance on the i.m.f. and they say that before you had promised not to seek out any more help from the i.m.f. and that now you are your economic plan is based on a bailout and if this would be approved this would be the 13th time in the last 30 years pakistan has received an assistance package from the i.m.f. . what's different this this time i mean why let me just say one thing. i'm glad this. prime minister of u. turns. only an idiot doesn't do any utahns only a moron it when he's on a course and he comes across as a brick wall only that stupid idiot keeps banging his head against a brick wall and intelligent person immediately revises strategy and goes around it so you're ok with the nic as as i was when i was a cricketer i mean we would have a strategy when we would go on the field but all the time i would be genuine started you got into the situation i mean only of forward brand someone not doing

u. turns if these corrupt a leader in our country if they had done a u. turn from corruption they would be in jail right now and he would let me go back to the main point i am have when we go to office we had you know we did a 6b6b dollar. deal with the i.m.f. we had 90 in the half $1000000000.00 trade current account deficit so while how were we going to fill in this gap and listen and we had a loan and between and that time we raised our exports we cut dollar exports so until that time was there was a good to be a time that the time lag how were we going to last from that period to the time when we had curtailed that you did a bridging the gap we did a bridging loan so you know this i mean they should judge me. insure

law when my 5 or 5 years are complete then they should ask me. well when i am responsible for my economy am i going to rely on loans or not and in charlotte this will be the last. package we will ever have but as far as now today does this mean talking about the u. turn in this policy does this mean that you are recognizing that it is necessary for pakistan's financial stability and for the economy that you must ask for external support and i do not believe if you if a country manages its economy properly it does it should not have to borrow money from from i.m.f. or anyone the fact that you have a big deficit you have to go at borrow money means that you are not running your economic economy properly but when you inherit a sick economy then i'm afraid in the short time before you can raise your income

to bridge this gap i'm afraid you have to take loans so. what i'm pledging to my people that inshallah when we when we are not term is completed we will leave a surplus economy but does that mean that the i.m.f. could exercise more control over pakistan's decision making. well they haven't excise any control right now apart from telling us to. put a house in order in terms of cutting down our expenditure and raising our revenues they haven't really asked us to do anything which is against our sovereignty we have a very important relationship with china we're talking about the economy pakistan is the beneficiary of chinese aid and investment it's part of the global belt and road initiative but the chinese government has been fiercely criticized by especially western countries for its reported treatment of weaker muslims have you had a chance to formally discuss this issue with president xi of china no i haven't

frankly you know we have been physics so many of our internal problems right now that you know i have not really i don't know much about this problem and let's face it i mean ever since we've been in power for one year domestically apart from the economy you know apart from dealing with the situation and kashmir really we've been inundated with problems but i would say one thing about china for us china has been the best friend prime minister can you have been criticized these past few months for not issuing any statements of condemnation when it comes to china's reported treatment of the weaker community and do you have any stance on the issue . while. i again appreciate you know i am at the moment my responsibility of people of pakistan. i have 21020000000 pakistanis i am

responsible to they are my responsibility and therefore my mumble one effort is to help my own countrymen there is an ex parliamentarian from your party brother of kumar he has said that he is trying to seek asylum in india and he has argued that there are minority groups that are being persecuted in pakistan he has also said that the old pakistan is better than your new pakistan what do you say to that. if if i remember right this is a guy who has who is responsible for assassinating one of our one of our most loved member of our party member of parliament. in saying he was an assembly and this man was responsible for assassinating him i don't know where he is right now but last i know he was in jail and for him to say things like that let me just make it clear ever since by government has come into power we have this one

government has pledged that every pakistani regardless of his religion would be an equal citizen of this country our government has opened up the. quarter door made great efforts for the sick community in opening up the religious sites we have we are going to do. all the religious sites of all different religions like hindus. the secularism the christian community my government will be protecting all of them and i'll just say one other thing you know if 9 order to use a mistreated in pakistan that's against our constitution it's against our religion . it's against the principles of a holy prophet peace be upon a because minorities what all was regarded as equal such as in that islam so when we are unjust to them we go against

a ideology and religion the difference between us and wat the r.s. as back to be gippi government is doing it india that when they're mistreated minorities it is according to the i'd ideology the do not believe that my no her if she's 8 will citizens that's the big difference cerny of also vase criticism by civil rights activists saying that the space for to sent for freedom of expression has shrunk since you took office there are journalists and pakistan who said that there has been a crackdown against the media that even television stations have been taken off the air what do you say to this criticisms this is utter an utter nonsense pakistan as one of the free a spray sin the word and media you know the members of the media have said things against me against my government they would never get away and any other democracy they have busted attacks against be had had this been any other even any other democracy democracy the t.v.

channels would have closed down the freedom that journalists have in this country is unprecedented this is one of the most tolerant governments ever although we think we've gone overboard we think we will stay we will strengthen our regulatory body that fake news on that basis allegations should be made against the government against the ministers against against. anyone so we are thinking of writing the regulations i think we just people can get away with anything they say or you've been you've been in office now almost a year many of your critics say that you have not delivered on a new pakistan but i want to ask you do you believe we are now in a new pakistan and what should the pakistani people expect going forward i think we already knew pakistan. new pakistan means number one rule of law never have criminals ever been put into jail like they have right now. the big difference in
