Your father salmond to say it was a former governor of Punjab Province he was assassinated in twenty eleven off the he demanded a pardon the a baby the Supreme Court has now finally ruled that she should be set free yet she remains in jail why. The religious parties and baucus on have pulled off what can only be described as a judicial Judicial Coup by breeding the country to a halt they have expected an agreement from the government of pakistan with
a judicial was i centrally handed over to this religious mob from the courts of pakistan giving them the right to do to do or have any verdict overturned and to receive a verdict of that over all of their liking this is perhaps the most humiliating concession ever made bye bye bye bye bye a nation state in the history of democracy and can only be described as a Death Warrant of democracy so now basically a c.

a theocratic moment. Shunyo father was murdered because of his support for the baby that kind of violence must be a huge to terror and for anyone campaigning for religious tolerance in pakistan. Yes thats true there are very real dangers and. We face these dangers knowingly because we believe in a buck a song where our box nannies are equal regardless of race religion gender class and this is g. Or any other. Denomination that divides humanity and i believe this is the only pakistan with fighting for what do you think needs to happen both religious tolerance and Freedom Of Speech to be improved in pakistan. After four decades or very misguided domestic and geopolitical policies the country has had
a tremendous amount of very deep amount of radicalization another country needs to go through a systematic and well toward how do you radicalization. Judicial reform such as the ruby and of the Blasphemy Law can really be a part of girls. That the Radicalization Program would also have to come with it is is creating Social Justice better governance creating opportunities and of course education these are the essentially the ingredients of a of a modern nation state. Chant of if thanks so much for your time. Against iran come and i said the u. S. Would be the ultimate lose over its decision washingtons far reaching sanctions on irans vital oil sales and banking sectors are an attempt to forcing the Islamic Republic into negotiations to scrap its Nuclear Energy and Ballistic Missile programs the renewed restrictions will hit next week after being lifted three years
ago. The iranian government remains on face by the reimposition of sanctions on monday the headline of the conservative newspaper reads the us can get lost but many iranians dont share this view. You cant just fight the entire world our own politicians are responsible for the current situation. The solution is a new agreement with world powers above all with the United States i hope it happens soon. Iran Supreme LeaderAyatollah Ali come on ne opposes a new round of negotiations during a speech in tehran he told students that President Donald Trump had disgraced the u. S. If the young people of our entire country support our efforts to be independent some may not be very religious but they oppose being dominated by foreign powers. That
beginning on monday at six am the Trumpet Ministration will reintroduce sanctions on irans oil sales just eight countries have received a waiver to buy iranian oil nearly all International Banking transactions will also be prohibited prices in iran are on the rise and so is on employment in the currency the rio is losing value as iranian struggle to make ends meet most lack the will to fight against their own government. Democrats and republicans in the United States are making their final pitches to vote says ahead of tuesdays midterm elections former Vice President joe biden told a crowd in ohio that the democrats choose hope over fear unity over division and truth over lies and that was a clip at donald trump during a rally in Montana Trump said the choice was between building progress achieved under his administration or letting the democrats take a giant Wrecking Ball to the economy. Now with all of that rhetoric what are the
issues that americans really care about a washington correspondent sent us this round up. Government spinning you must. Build the wall with the midterm elections approaching voters are under a barrage of political ads from both parties republicans got a big drop. Just in case and need to round up criminal illegals and take a moment will Democrats Dan Heller i approve of town halls bad singing in this message are both trying to drill their respective messages into the political conscience of the american electorate its getting less. Real. And very confusing what are actually the topics the political agenda which make voters interested and going to the polls coming november sixth according to our Experts Panel of the political topics voters really care about it the midterms are
well i think the Biggest Issue thats at forefront right now is health care the top issues in this election are the Economy Health care Immigration Trade and guns the Economy Health care trade and then local issues the economy its booming sure peak for the republicans trying to get voters to cast the ballots for them the message dont vote democrats you lose your job and pay more taxes or as the president puts it democrats produce republicans produce jobs however republicans have just now started Something Like an athletes on the economy perhaps a template in the campaign the economy and health care always issues that are elections health care thats a bread and butter issue for the democrats the republican failed to replace the Affordable Care act better known as Obamacare Health care a winner for democrats so what happened to immigration and guns trump is clearly trying to nationalize the Immigration Debate nationalize the gun debate. Immigration a biggie for the president. Racism the least racist person but the latest campaign ad posted on president trumps twitter account has sparked accusations of being blatantly racist politics anybody dont fall for that kind of your mom for Democrats Trump is the gift that keeps on giving not only is the liberal democratic voter base fired up about going to the polls come november sixth. Its specifically white educated suburban women who voted for trump in Two Thousand And Sixteen who now seem to be turning to the democrats i think i share the conventional wisdom that the democrats will regain the House Of Representatives that the republicans will perhaps gain a seat or two in the senate was no matter what the outcome on november sixth will be the twenty twenty president ial campaign has already started since as they say here in washington every election is always a referendum on the sitting president.
