Teen shot in head by Taliban receives Tipperary award

A teenager shot in the head by the Taliban has been honoured for her courage and determination.

Pakistani student Malala Yousafzai is the latest recipient of the Tipperary International Peace Award.

The 16-year-old was attacked by Taliban gunmen last October after she campaigned for girls rights for education.

Malala is also a nominee for this year's Nobel Peace Prize.

Last month, Malala addressed the United Nations and urged young people to use education as a weapon against extremism.
