Malala Yousafzai to make 16th birthday address to UN

A Pakistani teenager who was shot in the head by the Taliban is to address the United Nations on Friday - on her 16th birthday.

Malala Yousafzai was targeted in October 2012 for daring to go to school. She was flown to the UK for surgery and is making a strong recovery.

She will use her address to global leaders in New York to call for better access to education for children and young people across the world.
