17 year old Pakastani girl wins Nobel Peace Prize

Pakistani teen Malala Yousafzai and Indian children's rights activist, Kailash Satyarthi, were jointly awarded the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize on Friday.  It is the youngest winner ever, and the awards were significant in that the two countries have been involved in deadly clashes along their common border.  Malala was shot in the head by Taliban members in 2012 on a school bus for attending school. She is still receiving treatment in Britain for her injuries. She later wrote a book about her experience, "I am Malala".  The other winner, Satyarthi, 60, has continued to fight against the exploitation of children for financial gain.
