    MUMBAI: Out-going Cable and Satellite Broadcasting Association of Asia (Casbaa) CEO Simon Twiston Davies has been honoured with the annual Casbaa Chairman?s Award during the final day of the Casbaa Convention 2012 in Hong Kong.

    Twiston Davies will step down from his current role on December 31st and will be succeeded by a new management team lead by in-coming CEO Christopher Slaughter.

    Casbaa chairman Marcel Fenez said, "Under Twiston Davies? management Casbaa has become a central industry voice for the multichannel TV industry across 18 Asia Pacific markets running from Japan to Pakistan; China to Australasia and beyond".

    "Most importantly, Casbaa has become the ?Go To? industry body in Asia if you are a serious multichannel TV player, or want to be one. That is Twiston Davies? most notable contribution."

    According to Fenez, since taking up his appointment in 2000, Twiston Davies worked tirelessly to emphasise the value of the multichannel TV industry while more than doubling the number of participating Casbaa companies to the 130 Members of the Association of today.

    Twiston Davies said that he was greatly honoured by the Award which was as much a tribute to the support of the CASBAA Membership since 2000 as it was to successive Executive Office teams.

    MUMBAI: BBC World News will be airing a documentary on 14-year-old Malala Yousafzai?s life. She recently made the news when members of the Taliban shot her while on her way to school. She is currently in Britain where she?ll receive specialist medical treatment.

    In 2009, Yousafzai wrote an anonymous blog for the BBC about life under the Taliban in her home city of Mingora in Pakistan?s Swat Valley. The same year New York Times journalist and film-maker Adam Ellick began to make a film about Yousafzai and her family. The documentary followed her struggle to keep up her education amid Taliban attempts to close all girls? schools in the area and when it was broadcast three years ago on The New York Times? website, it brought Yousafzai to the world?s attention.
