a very warm welcome to you i'm on the. nobel peace prize winner model use of sign has returned to our country of origin pakistan it's a first visit since being shot by the taliban and it's turned out to be an emotional occasion the failed assassination attempt of the dense schoolgirl in two thousand and twelve shocked the world malala was targeted for promoting education for girls but she's refused to be silenced and become an international icon for women's education and human rights. the signs were there that this was no ordinary visit heavy security accompanied by use of size dorival in islamabad the police convoy proof of the threat still faces from the taliban much about her visit has been kept secret but after a quick pit stop at this hotel the convoy was on its way again to an audience with the prime minister the schoolgirl turned posed to go for human rights proud to be
4:03 pm
back home with her family. whenever i traveled in a plane or a car in some other cities of london and new york i was told just imagine you're in pakistan you're travelling to islamabad but you're in karate. but it was never true but now today i'm very happy that all. emotion easy to understand i. six years ago her activism nearly killed her taliban gunman boarded a bus asking who's. shot in the head because of a diary she'd been writing for the b.b.c. highlighting the misery for women under taliban rule. but while others might have chosen to stop talking used the global attention to keep fighting for her causes. the un general assembly sharing its appreciation on her sixteenth birthday to
4:04 pm
a game is the day of every woman every warrior and every guile. who have raised their wife or did i say. she went on to set up her own funds the men lolla funds to promote go cation and in twenty fourteen a seventeen year old member became the youngest ever recipient of the nobel peace prize. the physicians attracted much attention in pakistan it's invites opinion to some she's on a mission to shame the country a mouthpiece of the west to out this very she remains a national hero for standing up to the taliban. and to talk about my last return to pakistan let me join chorus line in islam but as a view thing following milan a story since the day she was shot well what what was a return to pakistan like yes it's definitely been an emotional time for pakistanis
4:05 pm
i think particularly given the kind of unexpected and surprise nature of her return you know she landed at about one thirty in the morning and it was only about an hour before she landed that even reports began to circulate that she might be coming home she's been welcomed by many and a lot of that love i think is visible on social media at the moment but also in the in that parents of the event organized by the prime minister in her own or that we saw earlier there's a general sense of jubilation i think and in a sense perhaps maybe even of catharsis in that when she was short it was a definite collective low point in pakistan it was a sign of just how bad the violence and gotten and how brutal the taliban were determined to be so her return is perhaps i think a sign to many pakistanis that things are getting better and for her as well obviously it's an extremely emotional time as we've seen she broke down into tears several times while speaking at that event talking about this moment achieving golf being able to set foot on her own soil again and what took us along to return to pakistan. well as you know look immediately following her the
4:06 pm
attack on her she was rushed to hospital here in pakistan and then she had to be airlifted out to the united kingdom where she received specialist treatment in birmingham and they were series of very delicate operations so it took her a while to recover but in the meantime while that was happening the taliban actually issued a new threat saying that if she ever dared to set foot in pakistan again that they would definitely kill her this time. the taliban have not held control the swat valley since two thousand and nine that they have carried out a series of attacks targeting. people who had spoken out against them much like malala and those attacks have been going on even as recently as last year so the security situation is definitely not been conducive for her to return for a number of years but things have been getting better i think a little bit and what we're seeing now is perhaps the mission of these series of military operations that were undertaken to retake areas in the taliban and to deny them the space to be able to strike targets that will not let us hugely celebrated in the west and watch the scene as an inspiration but she has some critics in pockets found some even quoted why. i think it's definitely
4:07 pm
a strange one but it is true that there is a segment of the pakistani population i once it's a large segment but there is a very vocal segment of the pakistani population specially social media that seems to think that malala is somehow black and pakistan's image abroad their belief seems to be that someone exploited the attack against her for personal fame and fortune and you know some conspiracy theories even go as far as to suggest that the entire attack against her was staged which is obviously ludicrous resentment so definitely centers i think on this idea that she left the country and that she left pakistan and did not sort of return immediately but of course that was a very good reason for that because the taliban said that they would kill her if she did so. right passion live from islamabad thank you very much for talking to. very much. a ferry of diplomacy sets the stage for a rest summit that when the two koreas the rival nations on thursday have chosen april twenty seventh to bring the two leaders together for face to face talks the
4:08 pm
plan was finalized his days after a nuclear armed north korea's kim jong un made his international debut with a surprise trip to china. it was a slightly awkward handshake at the start of the meeting but the leaders of the north and south korean delegations were determined to put on a united front. there have been many historic events including the recent winter olympics made possible by our combined efforts strength and determination with this in mind i would like you to convey the north korean people's gratitude to south korean government officials and their people. all the progress we have achieved today's meeting and what will happen from now on they're all happening because of the decisions made by the leaders of north and south korea it's important that we have a sincere discussion in order to ensure the shuttle into korean summit is successful. now
4:09 pm
a date for that summit has been set on april twenty seventh north korea's leader kim jong un will come here to the so-called truce village of panmunjom on the border between the two koreas if the meeting goes ahead it will be only the third of its kind since the end of the korean war more than sixty years ago. the announcement came a day after it was confirmed km young un made a surprise visit to china where he met president xi jinping china's foreign ministry said kim pledged his commitment to denuclearization. attention of north korea's nuclear weapons escalated last year after pyongyang tested several ballistic missiles sparking a war of words between community and u.s. president donald trump. but since the winter olympics in south korea when athletes from the north and the south marched together at the opening ceremony relations between the one time furrows have thought. whether north korea's leader
4:10 pm
really is willing to make any concessions and limit his nuclear ambitions will be revealed at the end of april. joining me now is aden fossick ata he's a korea expert from leeds university in the u.k. it didn't surprise you by the fact of the two koreas a holding this summit. well i got i have a my surprise i mean the thing that was the new news today of course just to have the date but early on i was quite surprised i was like many people i was pessimistic i thought that kim jong un and then they introduced a tactical thaw in his new year's address the north korean leader of course for the olympics so once the olympics are over you get back to the same old threats which were fairly last year in the new care missile testing but the south koreans have taken their opportunity they had a successful high level visit and it looks like we're having a summit and of course the even most surprising about how messed certain prospect
4:11 pm
a month later all of a summit between the north korean leader and u.s. president trump something that's never happened before so we are way off i think in a new and more hopeful place tentatively but sooner or later it will have to sort of flesh help us out yeah and second thoughts are what extent does kim jong un favorite kind of vacuuming got him the attention he wants what need killing young agree to dialogue. i think you're right if you sense that sort of they may seem like opposite save iraq thing in dialogue but i think the one has led to the other . kim jong un secondly got the world's attention and they're all the maligned way last year basically by a flurry of missile and nuclear tests mainly missile which showed that his capabilities north korea's capabilities are far greater than we actually thought from that position of strength he may feel he then does what may seem like a u. turn and declare as he is ready for dialogue but as i say the key thing will be what actual content goes into that box dialogue is an empty box unless you have
4:12 pm
proposals fourteen at their isolation which are acceptable at least for discussing to all sides. not not over issues that are out for discussion but that kim jong un has just come back from beijing to what extent is china or constraining these developments from that. i don't think china will straighten anything and i think probably to china's annoyance china was rather a not quite expelled from the orchestra i think there's another smart move by kim jong un put it this way if he it was already very anomalous given that china the historical relationship in the north crystal depends on china economically for nearly all of its trade so to have had of thirst for a meeting with south korea and then with trump and not to have gone to china that would have been genuinely radical so he restores a kind of normality but this quick trip from his father's playbook you know sheik written out soon afterwards and so on but the content i don't know i mean i think
4:13 pm
he's got the chinese guessing as much as about anybody else i mean i must say kim jong un somebody who's a neophyte has met no other foreign leaders he or his advisors are playing a pretty good hand of poker here and we've all sokoto from need to have us stay thank you very much for that analysis thank here. let me now bring you up to date with some other stories making news around the way authorities in venezuela say at least sixty eight people died in a fire inside prison cells at a police station off to a riot broke out it's been reported the fire started during an escape attempt there were clashes outside the station between police and crowds demanding to know if their loved ones were still alive. the french prime minister edward phillipe and senior figures of the government have attended funerals for the four victims of last week's terrorist attack in southern france the ceremonies to place in ted in region which was assigned to of the deadly supermarket hostage taking. british

4:19 pm
visited a textile factory in scotland she told people that the brics it would provide the u.k. with opportunities maze using the trip to stress a commitment to a breaks if that unites the country she also make a stop in england wales and northern ireland. for more on the story i'm joined by b. after fun stories from the euro skeptic alternative for germany party she is studios and with me in the studio is john was a true e.u. blogger who writes on the e.u. and the u.k. would like him to go if you let me start with you beatrix exactly one year ago you said you'd been reaping the joy on learning the british yes vote are you still as happy today. i was just making a comment on that i think it's a good idea to have the people make a decision and then follow that decision this is what's happening i think this is still a good democracy is always a good idea to have and this is what it's all about it has been
4:20 pm
a democratic choice there has been a huge debate on breck's it or not no breaks it and then the people took the decision and i think that's always a good thing i think we should also you can be adjusted glad you find your joy it was about the fact that britain voted yes or that's a fact a decision was made i think it was both i mean i think i fought for me personally and i think it is a good example now that we can see we still see it's a year ago u.k. is still existing it's not sunk in the in the in the ocean it's not a wall came over us this is always has been predicted we were declared that wall will come over europe when when when the u.k. would leave the european union we have seen that all this was not true as you were saying is still ongoing so i didn't use the exact reason i was having objects out of the actrix it big that is a good thing would you like germany to leave the european unit as well. i would like to have the german people to make a decision on that and i would like to have reforms strong reforms real reforms on
4:21 pm
the european union this is what i what i would favor and if these reforms will not come and we are proceeding going towards the ever closer union which will then end up in the united states of europe i don't want to have germany be part of the united states of europe as a country ok so let me turn to you john did you wait for joy when you had the basic result no i didn't wait for joy about to break the result no quite the contrary and i also as a british citizen i had the right to vote and i voted to remain in that referendum ok so but now we heard what the after x. had to say she's calling for reforms in this seeing the rise of fall right here to skeptic parties not just in germany that the f.t. but in other countries as well why should people stay in the european union because it's actually it does a good job for all of us it's and gives us the freedom of movement to go and live in other european countries is good for our economies those are the reasons why since the brics referendum there's been an eighteen percent increase in support for the european union here in germany even so having seen what's happening in the u.k.
4:22 pm
support for the e.u. has risen in germany i quite the contrary of what beatrice functional she has just said he would but look you know many people say that the way the european union functions is dysfunctional actually and therefore we have the rise of the far right euro skeptic parties that bear in mind that there are many difficulties that our national political systems face alternately is the rise of the identity of a dog shuttled a pen in france is that actually something to do with the european union or is that something to do with the dysfunction within french or within german politics and look at the breaks it negotiations and compare them with the u.k. the e.u. side is unified it's determined it's transparent it's well organized and is well resourced well the british side in the negotiations is disorganized not transparent doesn't involve its polman in the decision making so overall the european union as a result or through the brics negotiations we better understand what the european union can do now than we did at the time of the referendum so be i gets me hot from john lots of good reasons for people to stand within the european union how many
4:23 pm
people in britain at the moment are feeling very unsure and they are uncertain what greg said what do you say to them. well you have had the decision the decision making process over there was a decision the decision was press it and now keep on going and i think what we should stop doing from from the european union side and germany is still part of that is stop trying to keep the u.k. in and out this let's go for a very good free trade deal which is in in our interest and in the interests of the u.k. is and are both interests we should stop talking about politics about ideology about you know living seas and all this kind of stuff we should be interested to have a free trade deal because this is much our foreign and our interest we want to trade with you and this should not be damaged by any political ideology i was just trying to impose european raul or anything else on the u.k. this is not in our interest and i think we should concentrate on that and do you
4:24 pm
agree with that john i mean is the is europe the european union trying to keep britain in no absolutely not basically the european union essentially accepts the british decision but wants to stick to it the timetable all you want to make sure that britain will leave in an orderly fashion by march of twenty nine hundred one year from today but the european union is taking the process seriously and diligently it's trying to look at the practical details the impact on the economy the issue of the northern ireland border it is taking those issues seriously and it except that the u.k. would leave some politicians are said ok if britain wants to change its mind it can but the european union itself has come to terms with breaks it and it is dealing with the details it gives for pictures from structures just said the politics on the brits you cite here the british are playing politics and then not talking about the details they do know on the british side how to keep the northern island border open how to make sure that b.m.w. for example can still make its meaning cars in the u.k. and easily exporting to germany the e.u. knows those problems britain doesn't know how to solve them and the responsibility
4:25 pm
lies on the british shoulders because it is the british that are leaving not the e.u. that even the u.k. right of the edge of c. agree with. actually all the brinkmanship in the bickering and it logical brick ring that is taking place is actually on the british side in coverage by far right parties like the f.t. were rich say that in fact that. britain should leave the e.u. it is a good thing it's doing so. well first thing i don't think that everyone who was criticizing the ever closer union of the european union is a far right party i mean you to put this into the middle of a sentence so i can make a comment about it but i will we hear you're a realistic parties i've just lost my my ear so i can hear and learn or write you back again so this is these up here or european realistic parties they're rising and all of europe and this has not been predicted by by anybody people do not want to have this ever closer union they don't want to have the united states of europe and this is what's all about all those euro skeptic parties rising in all of europe
4:26 pm
that's the first thing to say it's not right wing extremism it's just to be realistic about where people are asked people in poland asked people and angry asked because people in and they some part of europe they don't want to have the united states if europe when we are going towards that we can we can see what michael on machall are coming out with we have heard the speech of this date for the state of the union. last year so we know what this whole thing is moving towards and people do not want that that's the first thing the second thing is that the european union is always trying to embarrass you know exit fees on the on the british to leave and coming up with all kinds of preconditions for a deal and i think that we should not come out with something like like this we should we should stop treating them like if they had to pay you know a punishing fee for leaving the european union it's their decision so we should we should not punish them is in our interests to come up with a good deal with
4:27 pm
a fair deal ok it's all in our interest right thank you very much for that and john a final and brief word with you in response to what beatrice just said there is no exit three britain has committed to payments science of european union budget until the end of twenty twenty and that's exactly what the british are going to do the projects votes already planned the payments for british farmers there is no such thing as an extra fee will be. it's from stores that says it's simply not true and in the end in the if the e.u. if the u.k. story is receiving money from the e.u. then it's only fair that during that period the u.k. will pay money in conquering the benefits of the e.u. we're not paying for it right john was a blogger blogger thank you very much as well as beatrix funk stars from the if tea party at up on i'm interested just thank you both very much for sharing your different perspectives on the issue of brags that. he was in need of a news coming up ahead as britain lines up a strike on its own and of the economy how is the prospect affecting british businesses guess how the arab press will have more on that story. and get the

4:31 pm
know whether its citizens data was misused by the political consulting firm cambridge and. the government has given facebook until the seventh of april to respond and the social media editor. joins me now from came swimming about to whip cambridge analytic and that's when the whistleblower christopher wiley who previously works for cambridge i live and a little told lawmakers hey guess what cambridge analytic has also been active in india and in fact he believes that one of india's main political parties the indian national congress was actually one of its clients let's take a look listen to part of that testimony there. you mentioned. quite a bit wouldn't you could you just describe what you were i believe there are there current with congress i don't remember a national national project i know regionally i mean india is different yeah i mean
4:32 pm
india is so big you know one state can be you know how big is britain who i believe i have documentation on india which i can also provide the relief if that's what's really the green light of the now yesterday while he actually did release some of the documentation that he referenced there he actually did it on twitter and we can take a look at what he said and what he released and this was that tweet we're talking about he writes to the most frequently asked question yes the s c l group cambridge and all of the parent company works in india and has offices there and here's what we share there is a list of the companies activities in the country a description of some of that research relating to caste and political beliefs and a map which shows cambridge analytical offices in ten different cities across the country so widespread influence there he doesn't mention facebook directly though but given cambridge and others as alleged activities in the u.s. and the u.k. during those elections it's clear that india wants to have some questions answered
4:33 pm
and that's why they're also summoning facebook to answer some questions as well so what have we learned about cambridge and because work in india well it's still emerging we don't know a whole lot there's still some open questions but thanks to what wiley has brought out there it seems to be more widespread in india then in the u.s. or in the u.k. and it has a lot of activities there as well and we can just take a look at what we know this is from the company's website and they do publicly state that they were active in india on the least eight different projects reportedly working for both major parties in india modi's b j p and the i n c one research project that stood out to us was that caste census so they were looking into a political persuasion. and voters and how that relates to the caste system system in india and of course being the indian national congress all state elections are coming up this year national elections next year what could be the potential fallout of this there's some worry about the integrity of the elections but it's important to mention we don't know if there's any wrongdoing going on or has
4:34 pm
happened in the past but india's government wants some answers did cambridge analytical collector analyzed data taken from facebook users in india and of course look for facebook india is a very important market there are two hundred fifty million facebook users in india that's more than in any other country so for mark zuckerberg you can pretty much just add this to the long list of headaches that he has to deal with now last month from a social media desk thank you. turning out to indonesia which is preparing to boss changes to its criminal code that would outlaw certain aspects of homosexuals and premarital sex many indonesians awarded the plans changes could be the first step to was ruling out sharia law across the whole country so far sharia only applies in the semi autonomous province of their homosexuality can be punished by public flogging at the beginning of this year twelve sections were allegedly mishandled by

australian cricket. and steven spielberg yes the burger is back in the science fiction most of the directors new action packed movie ready pale one explores a virtual universe calling this vomit mary from a guy to death we'll be sure to tell us all about that later. but first it is back to the hog with a look at the economic implications of briggs it that's right i'm going to thank you in twelve months today as we've heard britain will formally leave the european union there will be a transition period but they will be out well many welcome it more worried about the economic consequences because the numbers are not in favor of britain leaving the when it comes to the economy breaks it already has done more harm than good let's have a closer look last year the euro zone's economy expanded more than two percent but in the united kingdom g.d.p. rose just one and
4:37 pm
a half percent this year british economic growth is expected to slow even further that's weaker economic outlook is also weighing on the pound its value has dropped fifteen percent since the break that referendum of june twenty sixth in a weaker currency makes exports more competitive but imports more expensive and that has an impact on inflation which has risen more than three percent the highest point in five years that economic climate has led to increased borrowing average household debts that is debt as a portion of income now totals around one hundred fifty percent as the second highest rate after canada of any advanced economy. so what will breaks it bring we've heard doomsday scenarios and promises of the land of milk and honey if britain is lucky it will be somewhere in between to discuss that with me i was joined by michael hewson senior economist at c.m.c. markets in london. well you summed up the numbers quite nicely just a few
4:38 pm
a few minutes ago hard and you talked about the fact that the european economy outperformed the attack on me and that is only true. contrary to the predictions of doom and gloom that came out the fall the brics referendum economic growth actually hasn't been that bad and let's not forget here that the u.k. economy has expanded from twenty consecutive cold says it's been expanding since two thousand and twelve the economic recovery here is much more mature than say for example the economic recovery in europe so i think we are slightly ahead of you in the economic cycle which would i think reinforce the reasons i think why the european economy is probably growing at a faster right but certainly i think there are there are obviously negatives inflation you mentioned it is slightly higher it has pressed down on consumer spending but overall the unemployment rate is twenty five year low and
4:39 pm
wages doing finally starts to be appear to be looking up so there are silver linings you spoke of the negative consequence one can already be felt which is the brakes of financial institutions it seems to have started banks are moving people to the cons and how much will remain a financial center a global financial center people have been writing the a bitchery for london as a center for financial services for quite some time we have the infrastructure here in the u.k. you know with the guy whites of the u.s. with a gateway to europe i would really hesitate before we start calling the deniers of london as a financial center it's culprit pretty much going everything going in his favor and i would really urge policymakers on both sides of the channel to think of that in the months ahead. look at trade relations britain will not get any special deal it seems and become one trading partner of many for the you will that hurt and who.

yeah i mean financial services are a big part of the relationship between the between the european union and the united kingdom makani the bank of england governor said essentially london in the u.k. is the central bank head to the european economy so while the officials have said there will be no financial services false forcing i think it's incumbent on both sides tonight show there is some form of arrangement which does include financial services there was some talk about it with respect to the canadian trade deal i think it needs to happen because it's going to be very difficult for the european capitals to pick up the amount of slack that would be necessary to actually execute a seamless transition from what happens here in london so what happens in europe michael c.m.c. markets thank you very much for this analysis germany has cut its debt load thanks

to a strong economy and a decline of the debts resulting from bank bailouts during the financial crisis its central bank the bundesbank says the national debt fell to sixty four percent of g.d.p. at the end of last year germany is working its way closer to the sixty percent ceiling agreed upon by all eurozone countries most of the debt load came from working off shaky financial assets acquired as the government bailed out financial institutions that had suffered crippling losses. and that's a business that spectrometer no thank you very much returning now to and it is it just preparing to posture just it's criminal code that would outlaw certain aspects of homosexuals and pretty much sex we've been able to establish a line. since she is the chairwoman of the german a parliamentary human rights committee and has just come back from indonesia good that you've spent some time on a fact finding mission in the country what did human rights and activists say to

example of provinces such as achebe or south now west so much west java where. chary are bound by laws are being passed and that is a problem that can also be swept into all of indonesia and we are very concerned also in germany and europe that radical islam is also taking place maybe next year where the presidential and parliamentary elections are being held in april so this political year that is going to start in april this year is very crucial to the compay and also to a president. who is a moderate i would say that the ultra conservatives had gore for total ban on homosexuality but they couldn't get that passed yet the law still has been tough and what does it mean for homosexuals and for the liberal middle class do you think . well actually that was the question i brought to indonesia that i asked civil
4:44 pm
society but also members of parliament and they assured me that it is only for indonesian people for people that are living there and not for foreigners coming and travelling through the country which is very popular especially germans are coming to indonesia and i asked the question whether that would mean that they are being incriminated of being homosexual and they assured me that that would not be the case i'm actually not sure about that because criminal law applies to everybody in the country and. rights are being compromised which is the case and which is being said in the reform i'm very concerned with especially that section of of the reform and you ask the chair will move to jail in parliamentary human rights committee do you any influence on what's happening that's would die go into your discussions i would say i have and also germany has we have as has the
