mr. sharif and the outgoing pakistan people's party and this brash new-comer mr. khan. at the end of the day when the results were counted it seems mr. pakistani voters actually preferred to go with the traditional choice with mr. sharif who has twice been prime minister before. he took the majority of the votes. >> warner: what sort of changes has sharif said he's going to bring in as opposed to the currenpeople of the pastan people's party? >> mr. sharif has promised to undo the damage at critics have put it that the previous government had done over the last five years the economy has declined quite sharply. one of the most pressing problems in the country are the electricity shortages. in some areas the power can go out for 12, even 18 hours at a time. so mr. sharif campaigned very heavily on those issues. he blamed the previous government for failing to reverse course in terms of th economy. anhe sys that he's got a strong record to turn the country around. of course, the other issue that pakistan faces almost equally pressingly is the taliban insurgency. all the w

mr. sharif hangs his hat. this is a city that has experienced phenomenal growth and development, relatively speaking. it has a mass transit system, flyovers and byways, things that other parts of the country do not have. the reason they have all this is because the pakistan muslim league policy, they control the assembly. seen as theamily is family that can spread that kind of wealth around the country, spread development around the country. that is why he really has this groundswell of support. >> thank you. the turkish government says it won't be drawn into the conflict destroying syria. twin blasts kill at least 46 people near the country's shared border. turkey is blaming syria for the attack, but the syrian regime says it won't get involved. the turkish prime minister says it is time for the international community to act. >> we regret that the united nations security council has not done its job. we can see how i tiny spark has turn into a serious fire. the two years of security council has shown it does

and party which is led by former prime minister nawaz sharif is in significant leave it does put mr sharif on the road to being prime minister for a third time in his career and in fact. to the stage before his jubilant supporters in lahore to announce an electoral victory for his party saying that the party thanks all of for it for the opportunity to serve pakistan again now quite significant here is the turnout that we're seeing the at least according to preliminary results for imran khan the cricket star turned politician has seen a large turnout largely among young voters and is poised to become pocket stones second largest party which is quite significant also for the pops on people's party which has formed the outgoing government it shows a mandate for change that shows that pakistanis do want differences in their electoral outcome and it certainly shows that the large problems that the outgoing government has had to deal with unemployment economic problems the rising threat of violence they have not been addressed significantly so pakistanis with their ballots are saying that they d

they're suffering from this war on terror so i think you know former prime minister in the future how mr sharif will get quite a bit of support for pulling back from the americans in this case and as we've heard of course is american drugs drugs drugs that are a major issue in the country's election campaign a huge hurdle in relations there as well between pakistan and america they've been declared illegal as we've been saying as well but pakistani cool now according to washington they used to wipe out al qaeda and taliban fighters but pakistan blames them for schools and civilian deaths nothing new here but the trouble over. continues it's the subject of our web poll out today dot com let's take a look when you think about it all right u.s. drone strikes in pakistan that's the subject and this is what you think just sent in the last couple of hours the majority of you think using drones war crimes nine percent give mixed results but kill enemies in a minimum cost the minority there think justified by the need to be more precise we're always hearing about these mistakes outweigh seven percent o

they're suffering from this war on terror so i think you know former prime minister in the future mr sharif will get quite a bit of support for pulling back from the americans in this case as well a big bone of contention we just touched on it there is the drone strikes no pakistani cooled is ruled it illegal on its territory was not going to make any difference as far as the u.s. is concerned. it's very difficult always to come against the u.s. military and particularly. since they are operating from afghanistan which you know there are currently having skirmishes on the border between off afghans and pakistans as well so you know they're really going to have to negotiate with the u.s. and find different ways to get them to stop the flying of these drone strikes that's going to be very very difficult for them to physically be able to stop them other than large scale negotiations that really other types of pressure ok did you know international security specialist thanks for taking the time to be with us on o.t. appreciated. my pleasure of. ok right now as we've heard that american drone st

they're suffering from this war on terror so i think you know former prime minister in the future for mr sharif will get quite a bit of support for pulling back from the americans in this case. well as we've heard american drone strikes a major issue in the country's election campaign a huge hurdle in relations between pakistan and the u.s. have been declared illegal by pakistani court and according to washington they used to wipe out al qaida and taliban fighters but pakistan blames them for scores of civilian deaths no doubt dot com a website you can have your say what you think about drone wars you'll find a poll there on the matter this week telling us so far so far the vast majority of you see drone strikes as nothing more than a war crime as you can see there eighty percent. slightly up just ten percent think that the operations give mixed results. actually allow the pakistan government to kill its enemies at minimal cost fewer still consider drones the only fighting option for extremists in remote areas finally a few seventy five percent believe that they're fundamentally justified to be

mr. sharif, able to have a conversation with india on, here is what we think our role is will be going forward to 2014. here is what we see be on 2014. and to say to the indians, we would like to hear from you. are there mutual assurances we can give each other so that we do not end up reverting to the kind of situation that is everybody's nightmare, the 1990's situation. there is an understanding between india and pakistan, but each country separately does not wish to go back to the bad old days of the 1990's. nor does iran. that creates a condition for the emergence of at least being clear about what they do not want. conversations can discuss what they do want. >> thank you. a quick word -- nawaz sharif would be politically ill-advised to go for the privatization of things like railroads and airlines. that will immediately spark airline -- labor agitation, and i do not think you want that at the start of his administration. the important thing is nawaz sharif will imbue some confidence in the private sector itself. that will start giving impetus to the economy. >> you have a question here?

mr. sharif, which he successfully activated and galvanized by campaigner he was undeterred and everyone receiving and now they say punjab campaign was largely violence. so sharif is able to present himself as the only credible alternative to the previous ruling party. but i think we also have to recognize what he did was to bring into the political process a whole bunch of people in pakistan's centers who had previously some politics. this is the educated middle-class women and of course as you said yourself, the youth board. there's no question it has also been to nawaz sharif who is quick and adapting his campaign strategy and he was also making to young voters. so sort of approach and say and i had the experience, but promising voters that he can take pakistan out of its economic challenge because if there's one issue that dominated the election, it was the economy and the fact in the last five years pakistanis have gone through unprecedented economic hardship, particularly the energy crisis and shortages. so i think here we are. we have put in your introduction in the next 10 days to handing

mr. nawaz sharif has put front and center and is identified as critical that happens in pakistan.g to request sub one -- mohsin khan to come talk about the economic challenges. >> thank you for inviting me here. it is great to be here. yeah, so basically it's the economy, it the economy, it's the economy, the campaign slogan of the pml-n. he also borrowed from governor romney that he made the economy and he could fix it. so that is a big issue. the economy is the top priority for the country irrespective of who won the election. and much the pml-n has inherited some economy in pretty poor shape relatively speaking with the growth down to between 3% and 4% a year, inflation of double-digit, bleeding international reserves it by day come back to these issues. rising unemployment, better. there's a litany of economic problems. so the new government has inherited an economy that is in pretty poor shape. the argument is to have experienced people on the team, experience with the economics of the country in very early on people put two and two together and say that is still up in the ai

mr. sharif, which he had galvanized by a campaign righty was undeserved that everyone receives the main and say punch out the project can gain was largely violent flood. so he presented himself as the only credible alternative to the previous ruling party. but we also have to recognize what he did whisper in the political process a whole bunch of people in pakistan's urban centers would previously shot politics. this is the educated middle-class women. there's no question it also meant to never sharif who is quick and adapt in his campaign strategy that he was also making to young voters. so his approach of saying i have the experience, but also promising voters he would take pakistan on its economic challenge because if there is one issue that dominated the election, it was the economy and the fact that in the last five years pakistanis have thought through unprecedented economic hardship, particularly the energy crisis and shortages. we managed to in your introduction in next 10 days from unelected government to another elected government, something we never achieved. i have to say this i
