Who need also to medical care and lifesaving medical treatment and looked at in that i mean these counties will reach a solution and reach an agreement in order to allow more cases to come out and get the necessary treatment where the last time we managed to get inside eastern before the current evacuation was under twelve of them and then third which is more or less a month and a half and i have to tell you that when we visited there i was myself there and the situation was really dire it wasnt the first time for me to go.

But both sides are now confirms that this prisoner swap has concluded with people being handed in both directions across the front lines in Eastern Ukraine the numbers that actually did scruffs the lines a big difference from the early advertize figures of three hundred six people going from kiev territory back to the east and seventy four people going from the eastern regions back into kiev territory the reasons why the numbers are different is because some people were transferred earlier and some people on both sides it seems didnt actually get want to go back to where they come from this is an events that has been quite a long time in in the making the final impetus though came as a recent meeting in moscow there was attended by the heads of the two separatist regions in Eastern Ukraine by the head of the Russian Orthodox church Patrick Carroll and by representatives from kiev but the the real political will it seems has come from both kiev and also from moscow with Vladimir Putin saying that he was going to use his influence with the with the separatist regions to make it happen its a breakthrough undeniably a step in the right direction and the sides now are talking about keeping this going theyre doing more prisoner swaps but while people are still dying while moscow is still supplying the rebel regions with a weapons and hardware etc and while there doesnt seem to be a final drive for peace this is just a step in that direction we havent got to the destination that we want to get so yet which is a final political solution.

Now its been ten years since pakistans former Prime MinisterBenazir Bhutto was assassinated as a Campaign Rally she was the first woman to lead a Muslim Country and process of pakistans most famous political dynasty camel hide the house visit like qana the ancestral home of the bhuttos to see how her legacy is firing. She just told her the group with a fifteen year drive with the photos that. Weve sent a wave of excitement. In the this is all happening in the compound of a. Female Prime Minister who was affected aged ten years ago but village now you think of the only Peoples Party. In the fall of the people of israel her grave has become a shrine and draws people from near in a fall who perished pick youre going on to have workable i think the future did a state wont have any enduring and this day is a gift from god to reunite us every year through our been as he abused her paid the price but her mission and vision will continue she is always with us in our hearts and minds and will be remembered for his services to the a priest class of the country. Well the Pakistan Peoples Party is a teenage group of experienced popularity Bilawal Bhutto had just entered politics and is also departed new chair man many believe the party would expand after better gauge killings by gate leadership a strong agenda change or got a new blood group and shade more than man these to see people lower than the. The bar lowered the people around the country so long as people are there with verse in charlotte this time one so we may can because chairman ben old who doesnt really sob.

Way from their strict joy to the party and that for tip the balance in their favor energy paid the ultimate price for pocket gone and for democracy according to our party to fort hood already a real gauge for progress on Peoples Party will come in the next general election and the middle of. It will be. The real world facts will come out on the ground and redrill prove whether this party if. They supported one bad. Idea for the box larkana. Been asawa is a pakistani journalist who focuses on Human Rights Media freedom and peace issues and he joins me now live from boston thanks very much for coming on aljazeera says talk about Benazir Bhutto a first of all come out was just talking about im a son part of politics now hes always suspected and talk quite widely about how some members of the establishment might have been behind her murder are we any closer really knowing who was behind it. Well theres been a couple of reports out recently by the b. B. C. And by dawn that go into a lot of detail about. Who was behind her killing and who the people behind it and what was the whole system behind it and it seems to be quite an elaborate. Set up which includes one of the Pakistani Taliban and al qaeda and Osama Bin Laden and members of pakistans security establishment so i think that we are a little bit closer to that thats what people were suspecting for many years but these reports really give quite a lot of detail investigation into this issue some of those people that come i was talking to and obviously a very much believe she has an extraordinary legacy was your sense i mean she was tainted a bit with corruption certainly while she was ruling as Prime Minister but do you get a sense that her legacy is much stronger than the kind of taint well you know there is corruption in every at every level and in every. System in pakistan every stablish man in buckets and institution in pakistan so i dont think if there was any corruption against bin aziz and like journalists moment the need has written about this that when it comes to the corruption of the bhuttos and the Pakistan Peoples Party journalists had reams and reams of hard evidence but when it comes to corruption in other establishment saw the institutions that leak is dries up so the corruption is on one side and of course its nothing that one would want to support but theres a lot more to been a zebra dog than alleged corruption and that has to do with her. Just being a whore as a woman as a politician as somebody who really. Changed kind of brought a new paradigm into pakistan going against the traditional revenge politics kind of situation into she to she talked about reconciliation rather than revenge and she talked about Restorative Justice rather than the tribute of justice which is a concept that is really now coming into play around the world as a much more Sustainable Way of approaching injustice. She i think in terms of Regional Peace she played it played a really strong role she reconcile she stopped the insurgency or she stopped the support going into the east but job from pakistans security establishment after her meeting with rajiv gandhi after she was first elected Prime Minister. And i think that the forces that were raised against her that connived to kill her have always been against the kind of ideologies that she stood for stands for still which have to do with democracy justice equal rights inclusive the t. Tolerance and like i said earlier a sort of a more reconciliatory form of justice than richard beauty of so i think the tea showed is still ahead of us and i think that we do see pakistan going along that line but constantly coming up against roadblocks and constantly being pulled back by those same forces that i think conspired to kill her and did she should change the place of pakistani women at all. Well certainly i mean by the fact that being the first muslim woman Prime Minister elected official in the muslim world as a woman she campaigned while she was pregnant she gave birth was she was in office she never tried to be manly in a mans world she was very very feminine but very very authoritative and i think she changed how women are seen and when she was in power i felt i felt as a woman in pakistan a perceptible difference in a sort of sense of freedom or how how i felt in public spaces compared to other times when theres been more i guess suffocation or you you feel more vulnerable and i think that no things have changed so much in the last ten years particularly with the rise of social media and bucket sons very young population very spiritual population and the these young people are fighting for democracy not necessarily as a political system many of them are actually quite apolitical but i think that the seeds they have the aspirations for that that she stood for that i that outlined earlier i think that she really still stands as a beacon of someone to look look to and who as an inspiration despite all the all all hope weaknesses and all the incompetencies of her government which i think have to also be measured against what she was range up against because the first time when she was elected. She was not even allowed to take oaths for several days as the Prime Minister until the negotiations backs behind the scenes she couldnt take a look she couldnt oversee defense Foreign Policy and finance so as a Prime Minister she was coming in with her hands tied thank you so much that opportunity which may thank you very much thank you very much for enlightening us on the facts about Benazir Bhutto thank you.

The rise of Artificial Intelligence and robots exist changing health care more parishioners are now carried out by surgeons using robots lawrence lay finds out if we should let machines the cost. Go is hospital in Central London and the man is about to have his life chances vastly improved with the help of the robles. He has Prostate Cancer the surgeon and his team would in the past have cut him open and felt around with their hands. But now they insert choose. And then we let the robot. Soon the surgeon is at a console moving the robot remotely its fine tools stitch up the mans colon before moving in to perform the operation. In principle you could have the surgery carried out or part steps of the surgery did a very clearly defined carried out by a surgical instrument that was basically set up until today i had laser eye surgery only ten years ago and i know for fat that the op thousand the surgeon did my eyes a he met devon think he set a machine hit a button and there was a machine that did the surgery wasnt. All kinds of surgeries are done like this welcomed by those lucky enough in the rich world to have an operation made quicker and less painful than in the past. But the new frontier is not in medicine but in care the robots accounting to help the aged to consider the role that robots can have in caring for those we love is surely at the sharp end of the debate around automation in the human world after all robots home to modes that dont have the human touch and so how do we as human beings feel about outsourcing the duty of care to machine in the coming weeks these dimentia suffer as a care home in north london will have robots for company the owners run dozens of places like this across the u. K. They want to roll the machines out everywhere because what were dealing with is the dementia residents people who forget who have a memory lapses and if robots could remember. Things about them or their cultural needs about that have its about the patterns of living and if they could relate this to a nuclear stop or even an agency staff was coming in it could be a lot of emotional things that is these people experience because when you forget things you get agitated and you cannot recollect what you are really forgotten how are you very and you robots like this is argue could help organize delivery of medicines or relatives could skype their loved ones through its screen but cannot love but it is argued they could help dispenses the agonizing question is whether we want them to i think ethically its undesirable. Robots take the place of carers for the specific issues of being reassured you know being helped to death and so on i think very few people would say that we should staff or hospice with robots i mean at the end of life thats really where you want a completely human type of interaction in parts of the World Robotic care assistance has already been viewed by people a socially acceptable. In japan a nation of Technology Lovers with an aging population is becoming common but will charisse ever be replaced by machines it would surely to questions about how much we value our own humanity Laurence Li Al Jazeera london and were joined now by wendell well look who is a Senior Advisor at the Hastings Center a Research Institute focusing on ethical issues in Health Care Science and technology hes on skype and bluefield connecticut thanks very much for coming on aljazeera for us well first of all i ask you well hey i am of course automation or robotics will it make health care more accessible and indeed more affordable especially somewhere like where you are in the u. S. Well this is very difficult question to answer because theres some many different dimensions to health care so in some senses robotics an ai could be its tensions and what humans already do or they could help with research and help with taking care of individuals but thats very different than thinking of them as actually replace seem to be human workers and thats really where the ethical concerns arise to what extent should they be replacements and should what extent should be they be the extension of the human caring concern i love the name of your latest book a dangerous monster how to get technology from slipping beyond our control is it that worried that it could step down the control should we be afraid especially ive heard that the phrase regulated ai something that would be something that maybe delves into all pest of data so all its getting beyond where we want the technology to really go well its moving very rapidly and our laws. And our governments really arent able to keep up with that particularly when were talking about the outward cation of a on robotics in nearly every conceivable dimension of life so the recess get up and largely what im arguing for is that while were trying to reap the benefits of these technologies we also attend to the risks and negative societal impacts so its if were going to introduce ai to fields Like Health Care how do we do it in a way that really doesnt make health care worse from the perspective of the patients from the perspective of the older man homebound that are getting some of their care through robots and i suppose also on the flip side of that thinking about lawrence his report where he was just talking about whether we should be using automation or or ai to look off the elderly and the sake that we do lose this whole issue of riddle the human touch the carinae the only human to human sure they can provide. Well the real difficulty is here in many of these situations they would really not meant human care anyway so perhaps one could argue that some care is better than no care at all on the other hand if we start looking at robotic care as if they can be a substitute for humans and use that to justify not providing human care to patients for the homebound an elderly then we have failed them and probably and i would say we failed the civilizations i suppose i had to look at all the negatives wendell just talked as a little bit about the things that we are going to be saying in the future in the area of health care that ai and robotics will be doing. Well i mean there are two Different Things going on here one is ai its often Just Research of the analysts and alice of large donna bases and that the law actually be helpful itll be able to look at lets say a large database about Liver Disease and Current Research as to new relationships new salient feature is that perhaps they should be researching on the other hand when we talk about ai and robotics together we talk about implementing these kinds of capabilities within the systems themselves so in a home care we might be talking about a robot that that shows up a few times a day with the pills and tells you you should be taking those pills but what happens if you say no now in most societies we do grant individuals that kind of autonomy recently have a right to say no but at what point does the robot become something thats forcing your pills upon you are what should the robot do if you say no consistently since these kind of issues where the robot is going to be functioning in a lot actually mechanical way that the does not necessarily mean the individual who is interacting with them understands that theyre just interacting with the machine they may be attributing more power more life or more intelligence to these machines and they actually im very interested to get your thoughts wendell alex thanks very much for joining us thank you and on thursday well have part five of our series on Artificial Intelligence a future with robots and ai is coming and its going to affect all of us in the final part of affairs out to sara talks to those seeking to make juice to for laughs.
