mostly so the nobel peace prize is awarded by the nobel institute in all slow and in a few minutes barrett rice anderson who's the chair of the norwegian nobel committee will walk through that door make the announcement and then also explain why they've made the announcement. and every single year this kind of little cottage industry that springs up in trying to make a prediction of who's going to win it and. the you know the betting companies or even offering betting on the various people and we can maybe just go through some of the some of the individuals potential people. and i think it's quite you seem to think about way they get the prize because sometimes it's individuals and sometimes it's organizations sometimes the prize goes to people or organizations which are very much focused on specific peace process or conflict in a specific country in the specific job basically yeah and then sometimes it is it is more broad it it's a prize given to try to recognize and bring to the top of the agenda. an important global theme so a trend yeah yeah and i think you know that can maybe help us

with the nobel institutes. it has not become renowned because of that committee awards the red cross and nelson mandela rather because of its controversial choices. the controversial choices are fine as long as the committee executors allows the last well to the instructions. the prize committee to select two champions to act as role models for the rest of us. maybe it is a risky business. first that committee choices may not be everybody's cup of tea or have the most convenient political lead. the committee cannot predict how a will behaved in the aftermath. what if it doesn't turn out to be the beacon of hope and inspiration. courage a conviction at the choices. history will reflect back on them and their choices. and make it all the more vital that it researched the candidates properly. >> i think that will stop there. >> thank you so much. i think the sentence that popped out at me. it's a beautiful book. i have the honor of reading this several months ago. and i have to admit that for me it was a shock. it

the prize that former secretary and director of the nobel institute said to the norwegian state television, an arcane in 2014, has not become renowned because the committee rewards the red cross and nelson mandela but because of it controversial choices. controversial choices are fine as long as the committee executears of alfred nobel's last will sticks to his instructions. nobel wanted the committee to select peace champions to act as role models for the's of us. namely someone of the champion is a risky business. first, the committee's choices may not be everybody's cup of tea or have the most convenient political leanings. second the committee cannot predict how a nobel laureate will behave after the prize. what if the winner is not the beacon on hope and inspiration that committee hoped for? the committee must show courage and conviction in their choices because history will reflect back on them, and the choices, making it all the more vital that the committee research their candidates properly. and i think i will stop there. >> yeah. thank you so much unni for reading that. think the

right now, really smart people of goodwill and art top research institutions including nobel laureates, are in a raging debate on the issue of modeling covid-19 specifically on that thing we would been talking about, the denominator. that's the number of people infected with covid. you have to have the right denominator, at least close to being right, to judge the virus' true fatality but we know people are a symptomatically or have mild symptoms who were never tested. we should hear all sides. all input is welcome. finally, a new global survey of thousands of doctors just came out late yesterday. found that their preferred treatment, these are the doctors, forrest b29 patients, drumroll please? hydroxychloroquine o rated hydroxychloroquine the most effective for combating the deadly illness and found that 23% of medical professionals had prescribed the drug in the u.s. far less, this is interesting, than other countries. outside the years, hydroxyl clerk when was equally used for diagnosing patients for mild to severe symptoms. whereas in the u.s., it was most commonly used for high r

the nobel committee has a history of giving the award to u.n. institutions especially at points in time when they are particularly relevant to the situation going on at the time. they are making the case that food security is very intimately tied of war yeah exactly right there and this is very much tied to as well the pandemic we heard right there the pandemic deepening food insecurity globally especially in countries in africa we heard about congo nigeria south sudan that's right so making the point that. conflict and food security intimately linked the corona crisis the pandemic coming on top of that creates a very severe risk of much greater worsening of those crises referring to some of the countries where the world food program has been essential to trying to stave off i mean for instance yemen which is one for years now we've seen the terrible images come out of yemen in recent years the world food program playing a critical role in trying to keep the population going the pendency in yemen for example on all the supplies coming from the u.n. world foo
