India's Kailash Satyarthi and Pakistan's Malala Yousafzai, who won this year's Nobel Peace Prize for their fight against the oppression of children and their right to education, will today receive the award at a ceremony in Oslo.

"Even if one single child is in danger then the entire world is in danger," Mr Satyarthi, 60, said on Tuesday at a joint press conference with 17-year-old Malala, with whom he will share the $ 1.1 million prize.

Satyarthi and Malala spoke to children in a special interaction ahead of the Nobel awards function in Oslo, Norway. Satyarthi said, "Each time I go to rescue a child I think he is the most beautiful child on earth, that he is my own child."

Malala, who has always been a great public speaker and certainly wiser beyond her years, told the children, "You have given me more energy than Red Bull."
