What is the Nobel Peace Prize?

What have Albert Einstein, Nelson Mandela and Barack Obama got in common? They've all won a Nobel Prize.

They're given out every year to people or organisations who have achieved amazing things in different areas.

The Nobel Peace Prize is probably the most famous, but there are others, including ones for medicine, science and economics.

The Nobel Prize is named after Alfred Nobel, the Swedish inventor of dynamite.

All this week, the winners are being announced. Ricky's been finding out why they're such a big deal.

Back off Batman, and step aside Supergirl, because there's a new superhero in town taking Pakistan by storm - the Burka Avenger!

The Burka Avenger is an amazing action-comedy animated TV series that follows the adventures of the Burka Avenger and three young kids in the imaginary city of Halwapur as they fight the evil Baba Bandook and his henchmen.
