Malala's father, Ziauddin Yousafzai, has told Today presenter Mishal Husain how his family reacted to the news that an army-run school in Peshawar had come under attack killing at least 132 children and nine staff.

He said: "Yesterday when we heard about this horrible news my whole family was in trauma. It is the extreme of extremism."

Speaking about the Taliban attack on his daughter, Malala, in October 2012, he explained: "We have gone through this situation on a family level."

"I can imagine that how much sadness and terror and horror their families will be passing through now."

"Peshawar has witnessed this kind of terror for many many years, but what happened yesterday has no example in the history of Pakistan. It's horrible. Our hearts are bleeding."

"I have never seen my daughter so sad and so upset."
