Talk to Jazeera - Yousuf Raza Gilani  
  In this episode of Talk to Jazeera the prime minister of Pakistan discusses his country's battle against escalating extremism and militancy and an economic crisis.

Gilani explains how law and order and the economy are interrelated, saying "the economy of my own country is hit by extremism and terrorism".

He describes his strategy for dealing with the conflict in the tribal regions of Pakistan and argues that by focusing on development in those areas some of the root causes of terrorism - deprivation, poverty and a lack of opportunities - will be reduced.
