In a special edition of Hardtalk from Oslo, Sarah Montague speaks to the winners of this year's Nobel Peace Prize. Nadia Murad and Dr Denis Mukwege have been jointly awarded the prize 'for their efforts to end the use of sexual violence as a weapon of war and armed conflict'. Nadia Murad, of Iraq's Yazidi community, was kidnapped and suffered sexual abuse as a prisoner of the so-called Islamic State group. Dr Mukwege is a gynaecologist and the founder of the Panzi Hospital that helps to treat women and children raped and sexually abused in the ongoing civil conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
