Pakistani schoolgirl Malala Yousafzai has been speaking to the media after she was shot in the head by the Taliban a year ago this week for championing education and the rights of women in her home country.
In the week of the first anniversary of the attack that sparked outrage in Pakistan and around the world, Yousafzai told the BBC that in order to achieve peace the "best way to solve problems and to fight against war is through dialogue," adding "That's not an issue for me, that's the job of the government ... and that's also the job of America."
She reveals in detail what happened on the day of the attack and also expresses a desire to someday return to Pakistan to pursue a political career.
Yousafzai has been living Birmingham since receiving treatment to repair her skull in the United Kingdom.
"Usually there used to be so many people and boys and they used to be standing in front of shops. But (that day) ... it was vacant," she told the BBC.
The full interview with the 16-year-old will be shown in the U.K. on Monday night on BBC's "Panorama" program.
Diane Sawyer's interview with Yousafzai is being shown Monday on ABC's "Good Morning America'" show and on "World News with Diane Sawyer."
On Sunday, CNN will air Christiane Amanpour's interview with Yousafzai in a special report called "The Bravest Girl in the World."
"I hope that a day will come (when) the people of Pakistan will be free, they will have their rights, there will be peace and every girl and every boy will be going to school," Yousafzai told the BBC.
The Pakistan Taliban told ABC News that it would again attempt to kill the school girl if it was in a position to do so.
