years promoted the right to criticized power and protect the fundamental rights of citizens. they haven't made an outstanding effort to document war crimes, human rights abuses and the abuse of power. together they demonstrate the significance of civil society, poor peas and democracy. this year's peace prize is awarded to human rights advocate are less beyond the article from bella ruesch the russian human rights organization memorial and the ukrainian human rights organization center for civil liberties.

a broad base human rights organization. that documented and protested against the authorities use of torture against political prisoners. government authorities have repeatedly sought to silence arliss b aaliyah's skin. he was imprisoned from 2011 to 2014 following large scale demonstrations against the regime in 2020 he was again arrested. he is filled, detained without trial this by tremendous personal hardship. mr. b ali out ski has not yielded one inch in his fly for human rights and democracy in belarus.

the human rights organization memorial was established in 1987 by human rights activists in the former soviet union. who wanted to ensure that the victims of the communist regimes oppression would never be forgotten. nobel peace prize glory as to on the day sir hider and human rights activist, svetlana cannot cannot wear among the phone calendars. memorial is based on the notion that confronting past crimes is essential incrementing new once. after the collapse of the

soviet union, memorial grew to become the largest human rights organization and russia. in addition to establishing a center of documentation on the victims of the stalinist, iraq, memorial, compiled and system ties. information on political oppression and human rights violations in rochelle memorial became the most authoritative shores of information on political prisoners in russian detention facilities. the organization has also been standing at the forefront of efforts to combat militarism and promote human rights and government. based on the rule of law. when civil society must give way to a talk, chrissy and dictatorship,

peace is often the next victim. during the chechen wars memorial gathered and verified information on abuses and war, crimes perpetrated on the civilian population by russia and pro russian forces in 2009 the head on memorials branch in. chechnya, natalia estimate over was killed because of this work. civil society actors in russia had been subjected to threats, imprisonment, disappearances, and murder for many years. as part of the government harassment over memorial, the organization was stamped early on as

a foreign agent. in december 2021. the authorities decided that memorial was to be forcibly liquidated, under the documentation sent to was to be close permanently. the closer became effective in the following months. but the people behind memorial refuse to shut down. in a comment, chairman of the board, young adults in ski, stated nobody plans to give up the sen done for civil liberties. was founded in care in 2007 for the purpose of advancing human rights son,

democracy in ukraine. the senator has taken a stand to strengthen ukrainian civil society and pressure the authorities to make ukraine a full fledged democracy to develop ukraine into a state governed by rule of law center for civil liberties, has actively advocated that ukraine become affiliated with the international criminal court. after russia's invasion of ukraine in february 2022 center for civil liberties has engaged in efforts to identify and document russian war crimes against the ukrainian civilian population. in collaboration with international partners,

the center is playing a pioneering rhone, m, with a view to holding the guilty parties accountable for their crimes. by awarding the nobel peace prize for 2020 to $2.00 are less b ali out ski memorial and the center for civil liberties than the weird and nobel committee wishes to honor $30.00, standing champions of human rights, democracy and peaceful co existence in the neighbor countries belarus, russia and ukraine. so they're consistent efforts in favor of human values,

anti militarism and principles of law. this year's laureates have revitalized, i'm honored alfred no bones, vision of peace and fraternity between nations, a visual most needed in the world to day. thank you very much for your little it was for community. oh, we don't live you laurel while you wait a person. regimes in rush roy in bella ruesch with a war going on in the new current. it is never easy to reach a conclusion on who should receive the knowable keith price. i can assure you that but i am,

we do believe that in these very challenging times. it was the time to address exactly what you imply in your question that we are in the midst of the war. or we are talking about 2 or 3 tyria machine and one nation fighting a war. and we would like to highlight the importance of civil society, of every citizen who has a responsibility. i'm an engaged man to trim all of the values. then am the values of aggression and war. madam chair, in one of the lorry, it's alice bell. etzky is to day imprisoned in belarus. what is your message to the authorities in belarus?

considering his a situation, our message is an urge to the authorities in bel, i rose to release mister b. only our skin and we do hope this will happen and that he can come tal slow and receive the honor bestowed upon him and bet. there are thousands of political and prisoners in bella, bruce and i am afraid that perhaps my wish is not very realistic. but i do urge for his release you think so this price is good to have a positive impact on the development in this covers. we are trying to honor and high and i to all the women and men who take

responsibility on the platform that they are citizens. and i think such men my hand in the heck own and political development and development of the war. and if such movements become strong enough, if they do make a difference or with the war raging in europe, or how challenging was the process in finding the right laureates this year, every year there are boys going on when we are deciding on who to reward and on that for peace. unfortunately, this year, and we were in the situation where the war in europe, which is most unusual,

but also facing a war that has a global effect on people all over the world. i am referring to the threats of using nuclear weapons through and shorted the ship food short into says, an earth food that is not provided to a country is also with poor populations. so that is a very bleach background. oh, and there is no height of peace in the immediate future. so what we would like to honor by this year's price is the importance of the values that these $3.00 laureates represent, and also underscoring the importance of these at the 3 nations they represent. ah, neighbors,

and that they are at their civil societies and have a joint understanding of the values that they want to promote. civil society can always balance and any people in power, whether it is a dick tutorial powers or in the democracy. my mind that i saw mission to day versus president vladimir putin marks his 70th birthday. ah, to what extent does the committee find this as a timely birthday present to president putin? and that, to what extent do you regard this price? i say political protests against our autocrats and repressive leaders. and this price is

not addressing a president of putin not for his birthday or in any other sense except that his government, as the government in bella roost, is represent thing and as horror. terry, on government that is suppressing and human rights activists. and the attention that mister putin has drawn on himself that is relevant and this context is. ringback that way, a civil society and human rights advocates are being suppressed. and that is what we would like to address with this price. and we always give a price for something and to somebody, and not against any one. to what extent, or excuse me,

to what extent do you think that this price ah, will actually increase the risk for repression and suppression of, for instance, memorial and cos harm to the ox activists. this is a dilemma that the noble committee often faces and it is something we always consider and take into consideration varies here. but we also have the point of view that the individuals behind these organizations, they have chosen to take a risk and pay a high price and show coverage and to fight for what they believe in. we are of course, particularly concerned about mr. viaz ski who is detained on the, the hard conditions in the prison in key. and we do pray that this price

will not affect him negatively. but we hope if my boost is moran, do you expect? and the stars reaction from the kremlin. i am the norwegian nobel committee, just announcing that it's chosen to join the award bella russian, human rights activist. let's be a light sky, the russian human rights organization. more y'all, as well as the ukranian human rights organization center for civil liberties, the nobel peace prize saying that they quote, represent civil society in their home countries. let's bring in christian herbals. i'm or who's a piece process analyst and the director of the international caroline institute of peace. he's joining us from brussels. welcome tal. just 030. what is your reaction to the he's price on since i think it's been a very smart prize and

a very significant one. both for the 3 countries that are mentioned and i highlight the fraternity between these 3 come crease who are facing similar challenges and situations. but beyond that, and the committee has awarded the relevance of civil society. and that goes beyond the 3 countries, the shrinking space for critical voices inside countries all over the world. no matter what an author crises, or in democracies, and therefore disintegrate the message. and how, how significant is it that the committee has decided to a jointly award those 3? well, in that sense, it's also sends a message to whatever the solution will come and it has to come sooner or later to then put things war in ukraine. the future

has to be something that links together better space for living with their live liberties in all 3 countries. and that therefore there are declined and in whatever it has to come next. what do you make of the fact that the, the chair of the norwegian nobel committee speaking just a moment ago, she was asked a question by journalists and she responded by saying we give a prize to someone not against someone i think that's, that's, that's very relevant. it's frequent that some regimes if somebody living under a regime authoritarian in this case, gets a price. and this has happened in the past with china last year in russia as well that the government can react as proceeding this as an attack. and peace building is always something that needs to be understood as constructive gestures and the

nobel peace prize. the very essence of why is there it is to create a warrant in the world about the relevance of peace and try to contribute to constructive developments. let's just talk about how the nominations are chosen. of course it is shrouded always in secrecy, but give us a sense of how they come about with bringing the nominations, and then the selection process going forward. well, over the years this has been no 103 times that the nobel prize has been awarded 110 times to individuals and 412 organizations. so it's sort of split this year quite extraordinarily, it's been giving to one individual and 2 organizations at the same time. i'm not sure this has ever happened before. in any case,

they have received $343.00 candidate this year. and the nobel prize coming, he receives candidates, he's from all over the world, and it's up to the committee composed of 5 people to finally take a decision. what we have observed over these past years. a balance of, if initially piece building was understood, organizing piece, congress is reducing arms and promoting fraternity. while this is still the essence, it has expanded to covering environmental concerns and other human security issues like food security and others. so it's piece written large now understood, and therefore the high end of this year of the interest between human rights peace and democracy, they are or one ok. we'll leave it there. thank you so much for speaking to us from brussels. thank you so much. let's now go back to jona hall. jonah is got ceremony

and as low. so jonah there we have one individual and 2 organizations awarded the nobel peace prize. yes barrett, ross anderson, the chair person of the 5 person committee appointed by the norwegian parliament that makes this decision stopped speaking a short while ago after taking some questions from the media. gathered here is you say one individual 2 organizations named as the nobel peace loretta for 2022 mrs. rice anderson saying that in challenging times it was felt appropriate to address the fact that we are in the midst of a war. not just a war with huge ramifications for all the people of europe, but also with global a global context in terms of nuclear threats and food shortages. she called it a bleak backdrop. indeed, they had, of course, been suggestions ahead of this. that a lot of is lensky. the ukranian president might have been in the frame already the ukrainian people. the committee instead has gone for these 3 individuals that mrs.

rice, anderson said, were chosen one individual and 2 groups for the work of all the men and women involved in them in 3 neighboring countries involved in this conflict to try and further the aims of human rights and of peace. and to perhaps quickly run through again as a reminder to our viewers who the recipients of the 2022 peace award nobel peace award have been. alas, a b l. yet sky. he a human rights campaign in bella room, one of the initiators of the democracy movement in that country. in the mid 19 eighties, he founded a group called vs, not or spring in 1996, documenting human rights abuses. he is currently in prison in belarus. this is ross anderson called on the government embarrass, to allow him to be released to come here in december to receive his warden as well as in the russian human rights organization. memorial founded in soviet times to

documents, abuses of people under the communist regime. it has gone on to document abuses in russia, modern de russia, through the chechen wars, and of course, more recently, prisoners of conscience and political prisoners in jail. in russia, they've been shut down by vladimir putin, their activists refusing to give up. and finally, in kias, in ukraine, the center for civil civil liberties founded in order to document war crimes and try to work with international partners to deliver accountability. the 3 in the citation through their consistent efforts in favor of humanistic values, anti militarism, and the principles of law. this is north of revitalized and honored alfred nobel, the vision of peace and fraternity between the nation. thank you so much, john hall reporting from offline. meanwhile, authorities in ukraine are saying that at least 11 people have been killed and russian strikes on residential buildings in the southern city and upper richer. the

injured include a 3 year old child, ukraine's foreign minister. the metro collect has accused russia deliberately striking civilians to so fear moscow claims to have antics the region even though its forces do not control all effects. on thursday of all of them are zalinski called for western allies to use preemptive strikes, to deter russia from launching nuclear weapons the kremlin, as accused him of calling for nuclear war, valez and moscow with the latest reaction from the kremlin. very strong statements by foreign minister law for all in reaction to the statements by president followed the military sky about those empty fights, even though he did not give details about the nature of those products. he did not say they should be nuclear price. russians are very angry and the foreign minister basically said russia cannot remain silent on repetitive

and increasingly dangerous at times by zelinski and ukrainian lead us to create the conditions for a possible nuclear war in the region. russia is totally against this kind of rhetoric. and interestingly, russia also is very angry with many other things. so the nuclear is just one of many things that they are complaining about and talking about during the last couple of days, including foreign phones the, the demands by this key to acquire long range, ballistic missile of stuff can psych inside russia or in crimea, for instance, for russians, this is tantamount to a, an act of war directly by nato, against russia. and of course, russia considered not a real threat to its existence on dogs, in the russian nuclear doctrine is one of the conditions for the launch of

a nuclear war to defend the nation. european union leaders are meeting to tackle the continents energy crisis and the war in ukraine. friday's talks in prague are expected to focus on securing energy supplies as winter approaches. bills have stored as you countries slash supplies of russian gas. 15 members at 1st for a price ceiling on how much they would pay for gas pipe or shipped in germany and the netherlands are opposing it. thailand prime minister prior channel child has visited a child care center that was attacked on thursday. the nation is mourning the death of at least $37.00 people, including $23.00 children. flags across the country are flying at half staff. the motive is not known. tony chang has more from number alarm from. this is the area where the families have been waiting. in some cases for the last 24 hours initially to find out the worst news. and since then,

just to find out what's been going on, a lot of the raw emotion that we saw initially, the tears, the horror, that's faded away. now there are lying says parents, some of whom we've spoken to. just wondering why this happened around them has built up something of an enormous logistical operation. civil servants, government offices going through taking names, trying to work out which borders are attached to which families the horrible paperwork that has to be gone through. with sitting alone here at the families, asking themselves again and again the question, why does this happen? banks and lebanon have once again closed their doors, this time indefinitely. this follows a series of hold ups by customers trying to withdraw their own money.
