Pakistani schoolgirl wins peace prize

A 15-year-old schoolgirl shot in the head by the Taliban will be honoured for her courage and determination.

Pakistani student Malala Yousafzai has been announced as the recipient of the 2012 Tipperary International Peace Award.

The education activist was attacked by Taliban gunmen last October after she campaigned for girls to go to school without fear in part of the country where the Taliban had once imposed strict Sharia law.
