Malala Yousafzai was campaigning for girls rights for education in Northern Pakistan in 2012 when she was shot in the head by the Taliban for her efforts. This is her story. She has since gone on to win a Nobel Prize for her Campaigning and continues to work hard at getting all girls in to education around the world, despite there being a price on her head.

A review of Rutger Bregman's 'Utopia For Realists'. Almost every key step forward for civilisation - from the end of slavery to machine's playing chess better than people - was once considered a utopian dream. But Rutger Bregman argues that there are better things on the horizon for the world and they're not just a fantasy.
