++NON VERBATIM TRANSLATION++
(Q: Are you doing deals with Musharraf?)
"There is nothing new in this reported deals between me and Musharraf (referring to President General Pervez Musharraf), these reports have been going on for the past seven years."
Q: So are you doing deals with him?
"My press spokesman has already issued a statement on this subject."
8. Sharif listening
9. SOUNDBITE (English) Benazir Bhutto, Former Pakistan Prime Minister:
"I'd like to go back to Pakistan before the next general elections. The sooner I can go back the better but the optimum date that I am keeping in mind is between now and next fall, because the Parliament will be dissolved in November and elections will be held by February. So I will obviously have to go back before November."
10. SOUNDBITE (English) Nawaz Sharif, Former Pakistan Prime Minister:
"Elections are due in 2007 and we have every intention to go back to Pakistan before the elections. Musharraf says that he will not allow Benazir Bhutto and Nawaz Sharif to come back to Pakistan but I think he is just fooling himself. He talks about free and fair elections but at the same time he also says he will not allow both the ministers to come back to Pakistan to participate in the elections. So we will go, it is our country, and we will participate in the elections."

12. SOUNDBITE (English) Benazir Bhutto, Former Pakistan Prime Minister:
"I repeat that there's been no agreement with General Musharraf."
(Q: No agreement, but no negotiations?)
"Our people meet all the time in the Parliament. I think that their people and our people, we have worked together on the women's bill, so there might be contacts, yes, but contacts is different than having an agreement."
13. Wide of meeting
STORYLINE:
Former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto on Thursday denied claims she has held secret negotiations with President General Pervez
Musharraf ahead of their homeland's upcoming parliamentary election.
Bhutto, who met in London with fellow ex-Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, confirmed she would return to the country to contest the election, but did not confirm a date for her arrival.
"The sooner I can go back the better but the optimum date that I am keeping in mind is between now and next fall," she told The Associated Press.
Sharif and Bhutto allied themselves against Musharraf in May and vowed to restore democracy in Pakistan.
The two are the principal leaders of the country's main secular opposition parties.
The Pakistani press has widely speculated that Bhutto had met with the military leader to discuss the elections and gain assurances she would not
face arrest over corruption charges.
"Our people meet all the time in parliament," Bhutto said, when asked if she had held face-to-face talks with Musharraf. "I think that their people and our people have worked together on the women's bill, so there might be contacts, yes, but contacts is different than having an agreement," Bhutto added.
Sharif denied reports that he had also agreed a deal with Musharraf, in which he is said to have pledged not to return to Pakistan until 2009.
