but must understand we need to analyze islamist negative the state narrative of pakistan islamists are powerful they have been supported by the military in the past they still the allegations that the still support them as proxies in afghanistan in kashmir. due to put pressure on the afghan government and the indian government the religious groups think if there is any compromise you see why it's so important for them as they believe if the blasphemy laws the controversial blasphemy laws promulgated in the eighty's or repealed or even amended slightly would be a compromise on the negative and that would pave the way for a secular pakistan and the pakistani authorities even the military because the u.s. has been accusing them of supporting islamists in afghanistan and elsewhere so the pakistani state itself does not want. to weaken islamised but now the supreme court decision gives us hope on the rights activists have ignored the supreme court's controversial decisions in the past and now everybody is appreciating the decision it might be the beginning of something which might lead to a

islamists is unacceptable because these moderate mainstream islamists have a political agenda which is revolutionary ultimately. he has separated himself from the islamists. you can see bin salman is clamping down on all islamists inside the kingdom. he wants to get rid of their influence. that's why jamal could find no p patrona patronage inside saudi arabia. >> he's been all over the united states and britain and everywhere with this reform agenda. what is going to -- how severe of backlash and how bad is this for his effort and how bad is this for u.s./saudi relations and what should the u.s. do? >> well, a whole series of questions there. first, i do see him as a social reformer and economic reformer. he wants to diversify the economy away from oil. he has socially reformed by allowing women to drive, by opening up the place to movies and to entertainment, clamping down on the religious extremists and the religious activists in the country. so there's definitely a social reform agenda in the direction of greater openness. he's not a political reformer. and he never claimed to be

there was that kind of thing, not so much islamist terrorism. just like what happened in tibet?e comparison point. china is an ethnically diverse, vast country. but the han chinese are, by and large, the great majority and this state is trying to move people around. the communist leadership has no problem forcing new movements of populations, it doesn't come out of, "oh, there are jobs here so we'll all go to where the jobs are." i think what you've got is a situation where they are trying to control the population and there is no better way than controlling the population than by putting one in ten of them in a prison camp. that is nature of the chinese regime at its heart. they have a lot of people and they use very blunt tools to try and reshape the organisation of their society. what do you think it tells us about xi jinping's vision for china? it reminds me of tiananmen square and the cultural revolution. this is the chinese particular brand of totalitarianism. rewiring people's brains so they come out either dead or agreeing with you. that seems to be the chinese model and

the chinese say islamist but they do a lot of business with islamic countries. this. ahead of a meeting with her mps this week, one unnamed colleague apparently told a newspaper theresa may "should bring her own noose." words are one thing, actions quite another — as donald trump's press secretary said in response to suggestions that his sometimes violent invective had contributed to the atmosphere in which parcel bombs were sent to leading public figures, including barack 0bama and hillary clinton. you are just back from the united states, in the last week or so, taking the temperature on the campaign trail from the taking the temperature on the campaign trailfrom the mid—term elections. the uc a sense in which the political debate has been more polarised and in which words are influencing actions? it is a very good question. at street level see all feel anything. it is all through the media. people are getting in theircars and are the media. people are getting in their cars and are in trafficjams on the interstate and around the cities, it is what they watch a
