Malala Yousafzai Nobel Peace Prize win reaction speech

Pakistani child education activist Malala Yousafzai and Kailash Satyarthi, an Indian child rights campaigner, have jointly won the Nobel Peace Prize.

At the age of just 17, Malala is the youngest ever recipient of the prize.

The teenager was shot in the head by Taliban gunmen in October 2012 for campaigning for girls' education. She now lives in Birmingham in the UK.

Giving her reaction in a speech, Malala said she was "honoured" to receive the award, saying it made her feel "more powerful and courageous".
