Malala Yousafzai, the Pakistani girl who was shot by the Taliban last year for demanding education for girls, has said talks with the militants are needed for peace.
Malala was attacked by a gunman on a school bus near her former home in Pakistan in October 2012 for promoting girls' rights to education.
The 16-year-old was treated in the UK and now lives in Birmingham.
In her first in-depth interview since the attack, Malala told the BBC that discussions with the Taliban were needed to achieve peace.
She said that the best way to solve problems and to fight against war is through dialogue.
Malala said it was important that the Taliban discussed their demands, adding that killing and torturing people was totally against Islam.
The teenager, who gave a speech to the UN in July, also spoke of her desire to return to Pakistan and enter politics, the report added.
