SIXTEEN-YEAR-OLD activist Malala Yousafzai has just won an EU human rights prize and is a nominee for the Nobel Peace Prize, to be announced on Friday.
The teenager from Pakistan led a campaign for the right to education for children which brought her into conflict with the Taliban, who then shot her in the head as she travelled on her school bus in 2012.
Following her slow recovery from that assassination attempt, she has continued her campaign – bringing it to the entire world through personal appearances in which she reaffirms her commitment to human rights.
This included an appearance on the prime-ratings Daily Show with Jon Stewart in the US this week. Her poised and compassionate response to Stewart’s question about how she felt when she found on that she was on a Taliban hitlist left him uncharacteristically speechless and prompted applause from the studio audience.
This is what she said:
I started thinking about that, and I used to think that the Talib would come, and he would just kill me. But then I said, ‘If he comes, what would you do Malala?’ then I would reply to myself, ‘Malala, just take a shoe and hit him.’But then I said, ‘If you hit a Talib with your shoe, then there would be no difference between you and the Talib. You must not treat others with cruelty and that much harshly, you must fight others but through peace and through dialogue and through education.’
Then I said I will tell him how important education is and that ‘I even want education for your children as well.’ And I will tell him, ‘That’s what I want to tell you, now do what you want.’

The app is free, I reckon Stephen could splash out on a free app and as he just posted comments to another smart phone app I am also thinking there is a chance he owns a smart phone.
Indeed Love Guinness……but then, Stephens smart phone is most likely smarter than Stephen.
Cost more Al Cal

You loo like a desperate tool Kelly
Apple are to release there version soon called endoscope…. Although it will likely be a pain in the ads to use
They should release endascope too so everyone can see through the eyes of a winner!
Eyes of a donkey :-D
“They should release endascope too so everyone can see through the eyes of a winner!”

Ah it’s just the obvious progression for the huge proportion of the online populace that think because they can, they should.
Most have nothing interesting to say anyway, this is like porn for them.
Funny enough, I didn’t hear anybody talking about it.
Up Periscope !
It’s a perfectly designed instantly accessible broadcasting device with massive potential. We’ll be using it with our students. If you’re already with twitter it’s seamless. Is miles ahead if competitors like meerkat etc. Try it! http://www.connemaramathsacademy.com
Should have said ‘app’ instead of device.
To what end will this prove useful though?
Have a read of this article, will answer that question http://www.theverge.com/2015/3/26/8296537/explosion-east-village-periscope-live
