Happy Birthday Malala - as she stuns the UN aged 16!

Yesterday the amazing Malala made clear she would not be silenced by the Taliban. She spoke of her determination to overcome the Taliban violence:
“Let us pick up our books and pens,” said the Pakistani teenager, who was shot in the head by a Taliban gunman as she left school last October. "They are our most powerful weapons. One child, one teacher, one pen and one book can change the world. Education is the only solution.” Full story and video here:
