Malala now lives in Birmingham in the UK where she attends school. She
was in the middle of a chemistry lesson when she was told she had won. As
she explains, she insisted on finishing her school day before speaking to the
media.
Malala:
“I decided that I would not leave my school, rather I would finish my school
time. I went to the physics lesson, I went to the English lesson – and it was
totally like….I considered it as a normal day.”
Presenter:
Malala will share the prize money of 10 million crowns and will be invited
to collect her award in Oslo in December.

• Indian Super League kicks off
Presenter:
A new football league in India aims to inspire youngsters in the country to
take up the sport.
The Indian Super League comprises eight teams with a mix of Indian
players and internationals. The first match was played on October 12 and
the season will run for ten weeks.

It is hoped that young people will be inspired to take up the sport because
football is not very popular in India. Cricket is the most popular sport in the
country.
One-time Swedish international Fredrik Ljungberg is playing for Mumbai
City FC. In an interview with Indian football show XtraTime he says the
league help football to grow in the country.
“To inspire young people – that’s what we are trying to do. And if you speak
to the Indian players the facilities are better - that’s what it’s all about to
give the great opportunity to people.”
There is a big drive to improve the level of football in India at a national
level. The Indian football team is currently ranked 158th in the world.

• Girls play basketball too
Presenter:
Now, a letter written by a 12 year old girl in the US to a sports clothing
company has gone viral on social media.
McKenna Peterson, who lives in Phoenix, Arizona, is a keen basketball
player. She was looking through a catalogue that sold basketball clothing
but she didn’t see any girls on the pages. She thought that was wrong and
sexist.
So she wrote a letter to the CEO of the company. McKenna’s father posted a
photo of her letter on Twitter. It has been retweeted more than 4,500 times.
The CEO of the company, Ed Shack, sent a letter to McKenna to apologise.
“I’m sorry,” he wrote. “Next year's basketball catalogue will prominently
feature female athletes, as it should have this year."
