walking the streets in peace. this was no ordinary visit heavy security accompanied mulattoes dawn arrival in islamabad the police convoy proof of the threat malala still faces from the taliban much of a visit has been kept secret it included an audience with the prime minister the schoolgirl turned poster girl for human rights proud to be back home with her family. whenever i traveled in a playing or a car and saw the 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 who. malala is a motion easy to understand. six years ago her activism nearly killed her taliban

gunman boarded a bus asking who's malala shot in the head because of a diary should been writing for the b.b.c. highlighting the misery for women under taliban rule but while others might have chosen to stop talking malala used the global attention to keep fighting for her causes. the un general assembly showing its appreciation on her sixteenth birthday. is the day off every woman every boy and every guy. who have raised their wife for their rights. she went on to set up her own fund the malala fund to promote girls' education. and in two thousand and fourteen a seventeen year old malala became the youngest ever recipient of the nobel peace prize the visit has attracted much attention in pakistan where mylar that divides

opinion to some she's on a mission to shame the country a mouthpiece of the west to others though she remains a national hero for standing up to the taliban. let's go to pakistan's capital islamabad where we join correspondent in washington about so welcome to you how was the homecoming. it's been a very happy day for pakistan be glad you and people are motional people have been talking about this in social media and speech that you just played a few minutes ago i've spoken to some people who were there and they said not a single person in the room was not crying when she was talking about pakistan and coming back it's been a very very warm welcome for. that was it taken so long to visit pakistan. melissa has always if you look at all her interview she always talks about wanting to come back to atlanta she hasn't specified why she has come now however security

has always been the main issue and has seen two military operations and twenty one thousand twenty seventeen and terrorist activity has gone down but also hosted an international tournament so i think a lot to do with with the security as well as the government being on board or supporting her welcoming her back so i think meanly if you were to go back to the point really is security. very agile ation is far from universal as we heard in the reporter malala yousafzai does have plenty of critics are even calling her a traitor. but is has a tendency lot of people have a tendency for conspiracy theories and back and you have to also remember that when it. came to the notice of people she was very young she still is very young but she was doing something that for a lot of people seemed almost too good to be true for such a young girl alone to achieve so much and this is the way to

a lot of conspiracy theorists however i think. becoming a normal or yet really was again ginger and as much as they are people who call her treat are there a lot of supporters and that has really changed over the years and it's very evident in her welcome to the packers that and how tough girls' education opportunities. last six years. is far from perfect when it comes to women's rights as well as girls' education however there has been some radical changes in villages in rural areas where girls going to school was completely unheard of is now happening you have girls and boys going to school it's become a part of the narrative in pakistan girls' education and is the actually women less than girls don't really have to fight for education like she did so that is changing in pakistan schools are opening up especially when it comes to the primary

years for girls it's really is there's a lot of awareness around it and mostly there is the narrative is there people are talking about it people are wanting girls to be in schools educate themselves. go further up the numbers are changing but it still is there and still a lot of work to do good to talk to as i can for joining us. thank you. now to some of the other stories making news around the world health officials in the u.k. say the daughter of a former russian spy who was poisoned with a nerve agent is responding well to treatment you'll be a screen power from sergei are being treated in hospital in the english city of souls break when they were found unconscious early this month britain is blaming the poisoning on russian. france's former president nicolas sarkozy is to stand trial on corruption charges he's accused of attempting to illegally influence an inquiry into alleged irregularities in his two thousand and seven election campaign
