guidelines the main the main things that have to be done obviously it hasn't worked and the central committee of the communist party had a plan on about a month ago. it was very self-critical and it pointed out that something had to be done. so so we'll have to see now. a lot of folk using is taking place aliyah scale but i bite people to talk use the proposal for the new vice president. but this may have all those ways are is a guy from come from the workers' movement who was a labor leader who is he's about my age he is he also was minister of labor so we have experience on that front which is would be one of the things that . i want to point out that that the us collects which is the experience in the workings of the cuban economy ok then we have to see what's going to happen in the culture of ministers ok my suspicion is that the culture of minister is going to be restructured and what role race what are your vice president will do your will take because he's now old he's now not in the cultural state what i suspect there is going to be a ready sign of the cuban institution or a process o

you know, three days after my mother's assassination, the party's central executive committee decideds to be the co—chairman of the pakistan people's party. along with your father. yes. the party was in chaos. from karachi to kashmir, the people were rioting — the country was burning. and the party asked and it was not exactly something that i could turn down. i stepped up and did what i had to do. my mother often said that she didn't choose this life, it chose her. i believe the same applies to me. i'm committed to trying to complete my mother's incomplete mission. your mother was in self—imposed exile before she went back to pakistan in 2007. i saw her a couple of months before she was assassinated, and i asked why she went back to pakistan after the death threats. she said, you know, zeinab, i feel it is my duty, as you just said, to go back. she was fatalistic about what might happen to her. did she ever discuss the possibility that she might die with you or your two younger sisters? that is difficult conversation to have with anyone. everybody was aware of the risks. she would of

the central executive committee of the party asked. it is not so that i could refuse.hat you are compelled to do it. and my party is the one that decides who leads them. and nature is that they trusted me the most to continue my mother's mission. and editorial on deutschewelle on october 2016 said your future is weak because benazir bhutto's ppp does not exist any more, but died in 2007. she not only left a huge vacuum within the pakistan people's party, but also within the body politics of pakistan. and not only her assassination, but the climate in oui’ assassination, but the climate in our politics any moment in pakistan. it is filled with extremism, partisanship, and had driven politics that i refuse to engage in. perhaps in the short term... but what is going on in the ppp that is referring to. little italy serving us referring to. little italy serving us that it says. it quotes one of benazir‘s closest aides, nahid khan, who fell out with your father. she actually fell out with her mother before she was assassinated. she said that the present ppp leadership is on

a number of the republican february -- federated overheard a member of the democrat central committee say they could pull a switch on any democrat in any election. that prompted an investigative effort on behalf of the republican to find out exactly what the relationship was to voting and technology in the process of investigating, they were required to accept what you called blackbox reasoning. that is to say they could not verify what was going on within the machine. they had to except the manufacturer's word for it. this carries on throughout every argument you have about technology even up to today. we have to rely on blackbox reviewing and i don't think that is acceptable. i think we should go back to jimmy carter and the way he handled things in the third world which was paper-based. host: thank you. guest: we talked about paper before. i think it is the way our system , 70% of our systems have a paper component. theink you would agree that voter has the opportunity to verify the ballot themselves and not just you hope the machine recorded as you see, you actually see the ballot
