fighting against child labor globally. >> in choosing a muslim from pakistan and a hindu from india, the committee has indicated it hopes the awards will also served to ease tensions between the uneasy neighbors. >> earlier, i spoke with a correspondent from our handy desk and asked what message the nobel committee was sending with its choices -- from our hindi desk. >> both malala yousafzai and kailash satyarthi are working for children's rights all over the world. tomorrow is actually the international day of the girl, writes for the girl child, so malala yousafzai becomes even more relevant in this context -- tomorrow is actually the international day of rights for the girl child. >> the world is familiar with malala's story but less so with kailash satyarthi's. tell us more. >>

world will fight more for their rights and that the world will finally understand that children are very important in our future. >> thank you so very much. now a dire warning and call for action from

even aleppo? >> latest reports say i.s. militants are trying to seize control of a strategic road leading into turkey. kurds in the region are increasingly calling for help. on the turkish border, ankara is widely blamed for the desperate situation in kobani. with turkey fearing any involvement would invite the conflict onto its territory, they are likely to remain stationary, and the kurds across the border are left to watch and hope. >> with the u.n. envoy warning of a srebrenica-type massacre if help does not arrive soon, how long can kobani holdout? can the defenders hold out much longer? >> it does not really of pierce so. another day of heavy fighting in kobanik and theo battles have come close to the turkish border gate. isis appears to be tried to take that gate, which would lead the people still inside completely encircled and with no way out. >> not only that, we understand that i.s. is receiving reinforcements in strength from as far away as iraq. what are you hearing? >> we are hearing several things. we've had reports of the islamic state controlling a huge swap of territory reaching into iraq, and it's very easy for them to bring reinforcements -- a huge swathe of territory reaching into iraq. they go, they bring reinforcements, and they come back again every time they are pushed back. >> the yuan is calling on turkey -- the u.n. is calling on turkey to allow men across the border to help push them back. >> the turkish security forces have established a kind of buffer zone on the turkish side of the border, not letting anybody get within a

want to see better legal guidelines in place to stop the theft of german intellectual property. >> tech imitations and outright ripoffs in china are costing the german economy dearly, and german industry wants immediate action to stop the losses. >> bigger, better, flatter -- cellphones have come such a long way, it is sometimes hard to believe they can still make phone calls. users have german laser specialist lpkf to thank for that. it's miniature antennas are found in almost every smartphone on the market, but their patent was declared invalid for china, which opened the floodgates for chinese copies. for german engineering companies, stores like this are a dime a dozen, and cheap asian imitations are hurting sales -- stories like thesis are a dime a dozen. lpkf -- vdma

see it like this. god knows how long the situation will go on -- a year, two years, 10? it was difficult enough to build it up. we spent 26 years working on it, and in a moment, it's all gone. >> her husband is equally concerned. when the war ended, hamas provided families whose homes have been destroyed with aone off aim at of around 1500 euros, but money alone will not solve their problems --
