between mexico and the united states. that's turned southern mexico into sort of invisible wall of united states. it's a policy of containment that prevents migrants from moving north toward the united states. and in turn has created a sort of bottleneck effect where thousands of migrants are now living in these overcrowded conditions in often unsanitary conditions. the u. s. department has called for other democratic countries to expand their engagement with taiwan. often the graduates government decided to cut diplomatic ties with the island. chinese foreign ministry, welcome to crag was move. the u. s. invoice around says is negotiated, ready to hold direct talks with the wrong. that says negotiations to revive, to 2015 nuclear deal. continue in vienna on friday, but the white house is hinted at new sanctions if diplomacy fails us. president biden has reaffirmed his commitment to ukraine sovereignty, and a phone call with president blossom isn't in ski. it's almost tuesday virtual summit between biden and russian president vladimir putin,

pat. how can time pre it is with your help, of course, and we start with goran, k, hudson. our job in the rose, me, she cabinet sciences is to awarded the nobel prize to those who made the most important scientific discoveries. for the benefit of you who made your discoveries are by large, made in places where you have good scientists when they have the freedom to do the research they want to do and the funding to the, to the. unfortunately, you don't find this combination of circumstances everywhere in the world. now the way to get a better geographic representation of distribution or nobel prize is for governments to invest in science and education. and to give scientists and everybody to free them that they need and deserve. i was gone co. hanson

took him out some of the challenges when it comes to awarding nobel prize is around the world. who gets them and who misses out? what questions do you have about the process or the nobel prize is, do you have no nations that you would like to make comment section on youtube is right here, be part of today's program as we 2 of our 1st set of death. hello henry. hello. the van, nice to see you. i mean, please say hi and introduce yourself to our global audience around the world. tell them your connection to the nobel prizes. hi pammy. thanks for having me. i'm the director of the piece research institute as low pre o for short. we're based in oslo, norway, and weren't an academic institution working for crating knowledge or crating the research about the causes and the consequences of armed conflict. and we have no formal connection with the her, no bell institute, or where the price is, is awarded her or the committee, which is if i remember a committee,

but we're every year her launching a list of candidates that we think are, are good candidates based on the knowledge that we know about what the causes and the consequences are farm coming are. but thanks, i reckon at your basically your an influenza. all right, so the rat. nice to see you please say hello to esteem audience. tell them who you are, what you do. i'm your connection to the nobel prizes. hi. yes. so i'm, they won't matter. i'm a postdoctoral research fellow time systems biology at the, you know, in canada and my connection to know about is god. a few years ago, i wrote an article that appeared on slate about the nobel prizes in science. and why i think they are. they represent both sexism as well as racism and biases in science. i'm why they, i don't think they represent the which no time. that's that the positive and good.

today. let's start with the, the purpose of the nobel prizes. henry, can you help us understand why over a 100 years after the 1st place was given out, with still leaning in to these places, we still your, the laureate? that's a great question. had the the 1st price in the 1st piece price was given out in $19.00 o 5, that's 5 years after alfred nobel died in $1896.00. of course it helps to be old, or when it comes to building a reputation. and the enterprise has been a no round now for a 120 years, but at least for the piece price, i think it to, you know, it helps see that the piece price is not only the most important and most well known price for piece. but it's the most well known and, and regarded highly regarded price in any domain. and so it's getting a lot of attention every year. i think the, the, the, the explanation is, is manifold. i think a, the giving a prize for in

a major achievements within the human rights within peace, or either bringing old enemies together or awarding organizations, individuals who, when working for human rights for the cause of peace for a long time is something that is being appreciated. broadly, i also think that the, their committee in norway has been, am good at trying to modernize to price in a sense of trying to look for new domains thematically, but also to make sure that they're seeing contributions all around the world. and i think geographically, are it, the price is, is much more evenly spread out, especially in there in more recent decades. sense off the other nobel prizes. when i see nothing, it sounded like you want to then help his wife down. i think he'll, he'll know the van go ahead. right. so i don't, i'm not an expert on the piece guys, but i would say that, you know, i think the piece by this definitely one of the more geographically about is on 2 items as a sender pointed out, you know,

the science prices are almost the opposite. way you have very limited geographical representation. the prices usually go to scientist working in richer countries. in the west, you know, usually european and american scientists, when it's private. so i think that's a definite difference in those 2 prices. what we just bring in katie wilkinson here, and katie wilkinson has a connection to one of the nobel laureates for this year. but she also points out an issue. i may have a listen and then respond. and then i know divine. you can have a few things to say as well, his katie this year to new know price announcements were extra exciting for me personally. because my lab at san jose state has collaborated with one of the winners. dr. r dan pedagogy at nobel prize can only be given to 2 to 3 scientists at most. however, that's not really how science has done these days. it's not the work of learning geniuses. instead, it's the work of teams of scientists around the world working together. i thought

our demo nobel lecture did a great job of highlighting, not only the work of the chinese in his lab, but also the work of his collaborators from around the world. so what are they? what do we need to know about alfred? no bells will, but constricts what the nobel prize can developing to sir, to noble oh no. bells will actually instituted 5 prizes, not 60. and the prize in economics is a part of alfred nobel, as well as with medicine, physics, and chemistry, literature and piece. and are alfred and well, it's even more air conservative if you like, when it comes to her to who should get a price. it was actually to one person within each field. that's what it says explicitly in the will and, and they're the noble committee, both in sweden and norway and, and norway said that the price that is given out in or ways to piece price. and they've interpreted this a little bit more broadly so that it's right that now that, that up to 3 individuals can share

a price or individuals combined with organizations. and so this is, are defined in the will air, but i think this is, sir, this is a valid criticism, especially for the science process where we see that, you know, scientific and achievement today are usually not the result of individuals but of larger groups. and that can, of course, be said all so for the peace prize, and that's also sometimes why the prize is given to large organizations for sort of major and long term contributions. that though has anybody of color while a science price, there have been quite a few scientists from, you know, be sure who won the prize. but no black scientist know scientists from the african continent has won the prize. which is a really stark, a mission by the committee on another factors, of course, that very few women scientists have been recognized with nobel prizes. even though they've made major discoveries. i'm, as henry was saying, you know, the limitation on 3 people like is more strictly. no idea to in the case of the

science prices because they don't usually go to organizations. even the science prize, for example, the price for the, the discovery of additional ways in 2017, which was made by an international collaboration called legal actually just went to 3 american scientists. i have to show us if you have like, i'm sure you've seen it until you know about this because you are a no bell price influenced that particular for that piece quite to have a look here. this is dr. mr. allen, how sad is this graph green men per pole women? this goes through the entire history here of the no bio prices right up until 2020 . i didn't even need to do an explain over here. this is pathetic. henry, how are you able to change this? no one influenza what you say, what you suggest those names you put out there?

could you just say ok for the next 10 years, i'm only going to suggest women that might help. right? so i, so technically i'm one of those who are allowed to, to nominate you can, you either have to be a member of parliament. you have to be a member of government. you have to be a university professor. i'm a director of a piece research institute. so technically i can nominate, but i refrain from doing so precisely because i'm an in plan sir, and trying to to speak about the price without having to monetize. but i, i think, you know, seeing the statistics, it's really, you know, startling and, and it's, it's demonstrating 1st and foremost at this price has been around, are these prices have been a long for long to around for a long time. and at the, you know, this gender gap was, was just more her and this in the past. and it is now if you look at the piece price for the past 3 decades, it's still a gender gap for the 35 individuals who received the piece price 24, our men and 11 are women. but if you look at the past decade from 20116, our women,

5 our men. so it's starting to look better. i think we, you know, i wouldn't tag with advocate that no man could kill you have to piece price. but from that one for next decades, but i do think that this is something that the committee is seriously considering and also the to go geographical distribution. if you look at the 35 individuals over the past 3 decades, only 9 of them are european or north american 15 are from the asian continent, 9 or african to our latin american. so this is starting to look much better in terms of the both the geographic distribution for the piece price. all right, divine, i just want one last thing to ask you if you had received a nobel prize, would you feel differently about that? well, i hope that if i get that call from sweden, you know, at midnight i would be able to see that, you know, i don't accept the prize because it doesn't stand. so i sample you harm, and i wish more scientists would do that as well. am right,

it's so good to have had you in this discussion and, and thank you divine as well for pointing out the purpose the impact of the nobel prize and or so perhaps some of the challenges as well. we go next to oslo city hall in norway to meet 2 of my colleagues who are preparing for the nobel peace prize ceremony and a very distinct interview that they will be doing. hello, james. hello for lisa. nice to see. welcome. i'm going to put something t festival cuz i want you to join. i me. hi. hi, very well. thank you. i'm. i'm going to put something to you. i want you to listen to this comment here, and it comes from the all slow new university college. and pixar pon some of the challenges that the nobel peace prize has in terms of the nominations. who receives it? have a listen, have a look. the nobel peace prize given to i'll be off,

men has become a huge embarrassment for the nobel committee. never before, as well know there, laurie, it's actively started a war and even commanded the war from the front line. as we have seen, i'll be mid, has been doing over the last few weeks, the noble committee cannot revoke your price once it has been offered. but the committee could have done more to cast light on the atrocity war. fair enough, your peer commanded by wallow there, laurie, it's i see fully and james post making notes about this. i am wondering because of so many entities you have done with nobel peace prize laureate what the take is from the nobel committee. are they embracing the controversy? cuz that keeps the prize relevant? or are they embarrassed sometimes when some of these very famous nobel laureates

and the for short of the aspirational? no, well, peace prize that they were getting i think this was the most embarrassing one. so badly nonsense and change? yes, yes. a good that you were talking about, abbey ahmed, the prime minister, ethiopia. and it's interesting to note that al jazeera comes here most years. we've got a partnership with the nobel committee to come and do an interview with the laureate that we didn't do one with abby. i'm going out and do he wouldn't do an interview. he, he was here for the ceremony. yeah. he gave his lecture to the, you know, no, no bell audience here, but wouldn't speak to the price at the time, declined the interview, which was quite interesting because it was the 1st time actually that a laurie it had been in ours know in a long time anyway, and declined to speak to the price, it wasn't just al jazeera, he just simply didn't talk to any media that was here in also. so that was quite interesting. controversial. of course, i'd be mad, but also man martin time to achieve recall praise at the time when she was awarded

the nobel peace prize because she had been in detention, of course, but then later on when she came to power and was silenced on the flight of the rowena in myanmar there was a lot of criticism. also brock obama in 2009. he had no, she done anything. yeah. literally just as he become president he got the nobel peace prize. yeah. for not being george w bush basically. so yeah, i mean, and i think some of the times it's when the no bout committee takes a bit of a pump because i think got nobel prizes where they are recognizing, noticing a particular thing journalism. this time to the problems facing journalism, we had nuclear weapons when i can gotten a prize. they're non cars that are showing that herridge though say exactly, and i think that's what they were trying to do with i be, i'm in the room trying encourage that deal with eritrea to make it a while you to peace deal with ethiopia and it's fallen flat but peacemaker is now the war among ended and, and i think they might be embarrassed by this really well, i did the thing that is very secret bill. they don't tell us. they don't tell us

much about how they choose these nor aids. and afterwards, when the controversies arise, they don't really react to them, do they? and so i guess it in a ways it into, to know the whole nobel and you know, the secrecy behind it and the prestige of the nobel. the controversies exist, but does it take away up the prestige of the price as i am not very old? yeah, it is a very, very old thing. the nobel deed in his will. the other crises are all in sweden. the peace prize is set for, for some reason he didn't trust the swedes with a peace prize, even though he was swedish. and he, he was about a manufactured dynamo. that's how he made his money, but he wanted to create a peace prize, even though he's a man, it made weapons of war. and he decided this one should be in no way when the all the prize is ruled in sweden. so fully and terms, let's talk about these 2 peace prize laureates that you are going to be talking to in a few hours time. maria reza, and to me, treat more a tough. i'm going to start,

you have a moment in october. i love these mo, as i love it, when the laureates find out that they won the nobel prize because they kind of lose it. so this is maria resar in october, finding out when she was on that show panel that she had one. let's take a look and then fully and james, you pick up immediately and tell us more about why maria ressa is different, unusual special, and about these 2 particular laureates. let's take a look at maria and missus for all of us. oh, my god. you know, don't why i am in shock, but a actually, i mean, i am sorry. um, i think it's a recognition of how tough credits see i don't cry and says, oh wait, wait 2 seconds. so this is a recognition of how hard it is to be a journalist today, how hard it is to keep doing what we do right. so the thank you to the nobel prize

committee. i share it the russian journalist and it's a recognition of a difficult piece, but also hopefully we're going to of how we're going to win about the battle for folks we hold the line. oh melanie amazing. yeah. no recognition of how hard it is to speak. oh boy, oh sure, exactly. and you know what? i kind of wasn't surprised by maria races when i mean she was name time person of the year a couple of years ago. she's been out there promoting freedom of speech, freedom of expression in the philippines. she's known worldwide. i knew somehow this year that the nobel would go to journalism, a journalistic entity like an ice f reporters without borders or a journalist because of the state in which press freedom is around the world to the

boss. one of the other possible candidates was rushes alexi navarro me. yes, because he got poisoned and then he got thrown in prison. and he is the most notable opponent to vladimir putin that we've seen for a long time. and that may have explained why a russia very, very distinguished russian. german was also taught it crying for foot for the prize . but maria theresa, is someone just truly exceptional. i think for journalist, she's come a long way. i mean, she started off working at cnn, of course, as cnn's bureau chief in manila, and then went on to create her newest website wrapper. and she's been a thorn on the side of philippines. president rodrigo de tate a for a long time. i mean, i, she's had so many cases against her, there's even a libel case against her that was just file as she was trying here to was no, just a few days ago, even getting to oslo was so difficult for her. for the last today, she didn't know whether she was going to make it. i actually was on the same flight with her. and she had been to new york, but she had to fly back to the philippines to get a new authorization to fly,

to also to pick her up. he spies in the, in the courts granted her the permission, but for the longest time, she wasn't sure that she was going to make it because she's been under some inclusion permission for bail. yes. said she's not all. she's not drop child, you know, and i think this is a nobel laureate who could well, not for any good reasons. and he just reasons could end up still in prison. i think ended a dmitri also terribly brave man running his newspapers set up at the time of the, of the co, the end of the cold war. and i left the union. he has lost 66 colleagues killed, murdered. yeah. and they never bought any of the people. jones, at one of the little bought a few henchmen about the jails, optimize one of them. james, i was following up on the top sky. i'm just going to bring in dmitri mar, a tough in at this moment because he taught me how many colleagues he last moments after he found out that he had won the nobel peace prize. he held a press conference and the 1st thing on his lips was we'll have

a lesson because it's remarkable. and then i'm gonna hand back to you to at the also city hall. tell us more about dimitry. here is here the premier or you. but of course, mean your sugar chicken, eager to dominic or nasty, bob always starts a marquee a lower natasha. similarly, latter option, option 5 is your mom got daughter. a girl is up apiece. who saw your season? yeah, yeah, new militia benefits are at the premium. while you heard dmitri there, dedicating the award to his 6 colleagues from the via gazette who killed including anna, pully taska. he is not as a public of a figure as maria theresa his kind of been behind the scenes, but he is run this newspaper nor via gazette since 1993. but he does wait. that's why the collective collect clearly added. he is the editor, and at one point after animal a task iodide,

he actually quit as editor. wanted to go away because i guess it was too much pressure on him. but they forced him, his colleagues tossed him to come back and take the reins of the paper again. so he's a really brave man, extremely brave. and you know that the, when you look at it today and of i gazette is one of the last independent newspapers in russia, which isn't labeled a foreign agent. right? there's something interesting going on in russia media, because putin, who's been in power for 22 years now managed to work things, wanted a big t v stations was called n t v. well, the 1st things he did was make sure that was taken out by gum company gas program. and slowly television was controlled by the government to the mac conference message dominated africa. but the new thing, of course, is the internet and social media are not as magnifying the work of journalist night . and that i think is how navarro me, for example,

is getting his message across and getting the russian government so worried that exact had to poison him. and now he's in a, in a prison, in social media in a way. i mean, when you look at putins ratings, now they've gone down compared to a few years ago because of social media because of the influence of social media in russia, especially among young people. so on the one hand, he uses it sometimes, you know, to, to disseminate russia's propaganda in russia and abroad. actually has use social media and elections to, to interfere in elections in the us in the breaks it in a brick set, tap vote in the u. k. as well, but it's somewhat backfired at home and is another aspect to this, which is people have said to me and believe so don't believe it. but in the past, when putin's had demonstrations, when he's had trouble at home, he starts to look further afield. i start to look for something different, a does something to change the subject. well, we have a 120000 troops massing on the border of ukraine right now that he may have reasons there to invade,

but it might be relevant to all these questions. we're going to put to our 2 nobel laureates tomorrow when we interview them here for the nobel interview. now jesse are a special lie from arsenal and family. i want to invite your view as you audience to, you know, join us in the conversation. and finally, k this where on facebook as well streaming alive on facebook and youtube. hey, jamie alberto now you just knew there were no stopping them. once they get started . i'll write it out on youtube. he this is liz rainy. maria. restless. seems like a great choice. her work in the philippines has been amazing. thank you for those you chief comments and just in case you missed what fully and james was saying about that special news program and out there english a little bit later is the trainer for the 1st time since the lead up to the 2nd world war. the nobel peace prize is being awarded to jen, maria, reza to meet shimoda tougher receiving the 2021 prize about courageous contribution to freedom of expression in the philippines. and in russia, in an exclusive interview live here in oslo. we'll be speaking to this year's

lawyers about the challenges in dangers they faced doing their job. and if significance in protecting democracy, the nobel entities only on out to 0 compelling the journalism we keeping our distance because it's actually quite dangerous. ambulances continued to abide about the scene of the explosion inspired program making. i still don't feel like i actually know enough about what living under fascism was light. how much money did you make for your bro? in deliverance i made that al jazeera english proud recipient of the new york festivals gold coster of the year award for the 5th year running. once upon a time, finally fled from monsters and so silent in snowy lang assistance who so scared of being sent back that they disappeared within themselves. ah, the little boy had

a different time to escape to mos shape made square. how will obey story and witness wake up when moms ouch. same coveted. beyond where he can without hesitation, fulton died for the power lines are weld, launch loop babies were dying. i did it not in your bed. it's the black and babies to deck beeble empower investigates. exposes and questions for the use and abuse of power around the globe. on al jazeera we understand the differences and similarities of cultures across the world. so no matter where you call out 0 will bring you the news and current affairs that my
