However, all ambassadors will be invited to the ceremony in the Norwegian capital, Oslo. 

Russia, Belarus and Iran not to attend this year's Nobel prize event, here's why

However, all ambassadors will be invited to the ceremony in the Norwegian capital, Oslo.&nbsp;

The Nobel Foundation on Saturday withdrew its invitation for representatives of Russia, Belarus and Iran to attend this year's Nobel Prize award ceremonies after the decision announced a day earlier &ldquo;provoked strong reactions.&rdquo;
Several Swedish lawmakers said Friday they would boycott this year's Nobel Prize award ceremonies in the Swedish capital, Stockholm, after the private foundation that administers the prestigious awards changed its position from a year earlier and invited representatives of the three countries to attend, saying it &ldquo;promotes opportunities to convey the important messages of the Nobel Prize to everyone.&rdquo;
Some of the lawmakers cited Russia's war on Ukraine and the crackdown on human rights in Iran as reasons for their boycott.
Belarusian opposition figure Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya on Friday called on the Swedish Nobel Foundation and the Norwegian Nobel Committee not to invite representatives of Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko's &ldquo;illegitimate regime to any events.&rdquo;

Several media outlets on March 16 had reported that Toje had called the Indian prime minister the 'biggest contender' for the Nobel Peace Prize

Did Nobel committee member call PM Modi 'biggest contender' for Peace Prize? Find out

Asle Toje, the deputy leader of the Nobel Committee has rejected media reports of him calling Prime Minister Narendra Modi the ‘biggest contender’ for this year’s Peace Prize as ‘fake news’.

Several media outlets on March 16 had reported that Toje had called the Indian prime minister the 'biggest contender' for the Nobel Peace Prize

Asle Toje, the deputy leader of the Nobel Committee has rejected media reports of him calling Prime Minister Narendra Modi the &lsquo;biggest contender&rsquo; for this year&rsquo;s Peace Prize as &lsquo;fake news&rsquo;.&nbsp;
Several media outlets on March 16 had reported that Toje had called the Indian prime minister the biggest contender for the Nobel Peace Prize praising his intervention in Russia-Ukraine crisis.&nbsp;
Journalist Mohammed Zubair, the co-founder of fact-checking portal Alt News however, pointed out that Asle Toje had denied making such a statement in an interview to news agency ANI.
In a video tweeted by Zubair, the deputy leader of the Nobel Committee said &lsquo;a fake news tweet was sent out and I think we should treat it as fake news. It's fake. Let's not discuss it, give it energy or oxygen. I categorically deny that I said anything resembling what was in that tweet&rsquo;.&nbsp;

Indian journalists Mohd Zubair and Pratik Sinha among favourites to win Nobel Peace Prize

Co-founders of fact checking website AltNews Pratik Sinha and Mohammed Zubair and Indian author Harsh Mander are among the favourites to win this year’s Nobel Peace Prize, according to shortlists released ahead of the announcement.

The Time magazine, in a report, compiled a list of &ldquo;some of the favourites to win, based on nominations that were made public via Norwegian lawmakers, predictions from bookmakers, and picks from the Peace Research Institute Oslo.&rdquo;

Co-founders of fact checking website <a href="https://www.editorji.com/india-news/twitter-user-who-flagged-mohammed-zubair-s-2018-tweet-is-delhi-real-estate-businessman-report-1661922641522">AltNews</a> Pratik Sinha and Mohammed Zubair and Indian author Harsh Mander are among the favourites to win this year&rsquo;s Nobel Peace Prize, according to shortlists released ahead of the announcement.
The Nobel Peace Prize will be announced on October 7 in Oslo, Norway. Ahead of the announcement, predictions are being made about who and which organisations are the favourites and top-runners to win one of the most prestigious global honours.
The Time magazine, in a report, compiled a list of &ldquo;some of the favourites to win, based on nominations that were made public via Norwegian lawmakers, predictions from bookmakers, and picks from the Peace Research Institute Oslo.&rdquo; The list includes journalists Sinha and Zubair, who "have relentlessly been battling misinformation in India.&rdquo; The Time report said that the duo has &ldquo;methodologically debunked rumors and fake news circulating on social media and called out hate speech.
Zubair was arrested by the Delhi Police on June 27 for allegedly hurting religious sentiments through his tweets.
The Time article notes that Zubair&rsquo;s arrest was condemned by journalists around the world who &ldquo;argued it was retribution for his fact-checking work.&rdquo;
The Time list of favourites also includes Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the UN Refugee Agency, Belarusian opposition politician Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, the World Health Organisation, Russia&rsquo;s jailed opposition leader and anti-corruption activist Alexey Navalny and Swedish climate activist Greta Thunburg.
The Peace Research Institute Oslo (PRIO) director Henrik Urdal also released his annual shortlist of probable Peace laureates. His list includes Mander, and the campaign he launched in 2017 &lsquo;Karwan-e-Mohabbat&rsquo;. Urdal also names Sinha and Zubair as &ldquo;other worthy candidates for a prize focused on combating religious extremism and intolerance&rdquo; in India.
&ldquo;Religious extremism helps justify discrimination and violence, and stokes tensions between groups that can result in armed conflict.

Making a significant contribution to fighting religious extremism and promoting interreligious dialogue is therefore a compelling rationale for being awarded a Nobel Peace Prize. A worthy recipient of such a prize is Harsh Mander, along with the campaign he launched in 2017, Karwan-e-Mohabbat ("Caravan of Love&rdquo;),&rdquo; according to Urdal&rsquo;s shortlist.
&ldquo;Mander is an important voice for religious tolerance and dialogue, and his campaign an important rallying point for those who oppose interreligious conflict and violence.&rdquo;&nbsp;

The Nobel Peace Prize that Russian journalist Dmitry Muratov was auctioning off to raise money for Ukrainian child refugees sold Monday night for USD 103.5 million, shattering the old record for a Nobel.
Previously, the most ever paid for a Nobel Prize medal was in 2014, when James Watson, whose co-discovery of the structure of DNA earned him a Nobel Prize in 1962, sold his medal for USD4.76 million.
Three years later, the family of his co-recipient, Francis Crick, received USD 2.27 million in bidding run by Heritage Auctions, the same company that auctioned off Muratov's medal Monday, on World Refugee Day.
Muratov, who was awarded the gold medal in October 2021, helped found the independent Russian newspaper Novaya Gazeta and was the publication's editor-in-chief when it shut down in March amid the Kremlin's clampdown on journalists and public dissent in the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
It was Muratov's idea to auction off his prize, having already announced he was donating the accompanying USD 500,000 cash award to charity. The idea of the donation, he said, “is to give the children refugees a chance for a future.” Muratov has said the proceeds will go directly to UNICEF in its efforts to help children displaced by the war in Ukraine.
Melted down, the 175 grams of 23-karat gold contained in Muratov's medal would be worth about USD 10,000.
In an interview with The Associated Press before the auction, Muratov said he was particularly concerned about children who have been orphaned because of the conflict in Ukraine.
“We want to return their future," he said.
He added that it's important international sanctions levied against Russia do not prevent humanitarian aid, such as medicine for rare diseases and bone marrow transplants, from reaching those in need.
“It has to become a beginning of a flash mob as an example to follow so people auction their valuable possessions to help Ukrainians,” Muratov said in a video released by Heritage Auctions, which handled the sale but is not taking any share of the proceeds.
Muratov shared the Nobel Peace Prize last year with journalist Maria Ressa of the Philippines.
The two journalists, who each received their own medals, were honoured for their battles to preserve free speech in their respective countries, despite coming under attack by harassment, their governments and even death threats.
Muratov has been highly critical of Russia's 2014 annexation of Crimea and the war launched in February that has caused nearly 5 million Ukrainians to flee to other countries for safety, creating the largest humanitarian crisis in Europe since World War II.
Independent journalists in Russia have come under scrutiny by the Kremlin, if not outright targets of the government. Since Putin came into power more than two decades ago, nearly two dozen journalists have been killed, including at least four who had worked for Muratov's newspaper.
In April, Muratov said he was attacked with red paint while aboard a Russian train.
Muratov left Russia for Western Europe on Thursday to begin his trip to New York City, where live bidding will begin Monday afternoon.
Online bids began June 1 to coincide with the International Children's Day observance.
As of early Monday, the high bid was USD 550,000. The purchase price had been expected to spiral upward, but perhaps not over USD 100 million.
“It's a very bespoke deal,” said Joshua Benesh, the chief strategy officer for Heritage Auctions. “Not everyone in the world has a Nobel Prize to auction and not every day of the week that there's a Nobel Prize crossing the auction block.” Since its inception in 1901, there have been nearly 1,000 recipients of the Nobel Prizes honouring achievements in physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature and the advancement of peace.
The ongoing war and international humanitarian efforts to alleviate the suffering of those affected in Ukraine are bound to stoke interest, Benesh said, adding it's hard to predict how much someone would be willing to pay for the medal.
“I think there's certainly going to be some excitement Monday,” Benesh said. “It's it's such a unique item being sold under unique circumstances ... a significant act of generosity, and such a significant humanitarian crisis.” Muratov and Heritage officials said even those out of the bidding can still help by donating directly to UNICEF.

Nobel Peace Prize sold for Ukrainian kids shatters record at $103.5M

Russia's leading independent newspaper suspended operations Monday after pressure from Russian authorities, a move that comes less than six months after its editor won the Nobel Peace Prize for his paper's courageous reporting under difficult circumstances.
The paper, Novaya Gazeta, said it will remain closed for the duration of what the newspaper referred to in quotations as “the special operation” in Ukraine, the term that Russian authorities insist media must use.
The newspaper was the last major independent media outlet critical of President Vladimir Putin's government after others either shut their doors or had their websites blocked since Russia's invasion of Ukraine began on Feb. 24.
The trigger for the shutdown was a second formal warning from the Russian media regulator Roskomnadzor, which has increasingly taken on the role of a censor in recent years, Novaya Gazeta had long had a difficult relationship with the government.
Novaya Gazeta's longtime editor Dmitry Muratov shared the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize with Maria Ressa, a journalist from the Philippines, in October. Muratov said last week he was donating his Nobel medal to be auctioned off to raise funds for Ukrainian refugees and called for an immediate cease-fire in Ukraine.
Exactly why Novaya Gazeta was warned remains unclear. Roskomnadzor told state news agency Tass that the newspaper had failed to identify an unnamed non-governmental organisation as a “foreign agent” in its reporting, as required by Russian law. It didn't specify the report in question.
Novaya Gazeta has trodden a fine line during the war in Ukraine. It initially defied the Russian authorities' restrictions, publishing in Russian and Ukrainian the day after the invasion began.
However, it removed much of its war reporting from its website after Russian lawmakers passed a law March 4 threatening jail terms of up to 15 years for information deemed to be “fake” by Russian authorities.
That can include any mention of Russian forces harming civilians or suffering losses on the battlefield.
On Sunday, Muratov sent in questions for an interview with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy along with a group of Russian journalists. Roskomnadzor banned the publication of the interview with Zelenskyy in Russia and said the media outlets which took part would be investigated.

Journalists Maria Ressa of the Philippines and Dmitry Muratov of Russia won the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize on Friday for their fight for freedom of expression in countries where reporters have faced persistent attacks, harassment and even murder.
The Nobel committee noted that Ressa in 2012 co-founded Rappler, a news website that has focused critical attention on President Rodrigo Duterte's "controversial, murderous anti-drug campaign" in the Philippines.
Ressa&nbsp;was convicted last year of libel and sentenced to jail in a decision seen as a major blow to press global freedom.
Muratov was one of the founders in 1993 of the independent Russian newspaper Novaya Gazeta, which the Nobel committee called &ldquo;the most independent newspaper in Russia today, with a fundamentally critical attitude towards power.&rdquo;&nbsp;

The Norwegian Nobel Committee said Monday that there are 329 candidates that were nominated for the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize by the February 1 deadline. These include 234 individuals and 95 organisations. The Oslo-based organization said that it was the third highest number of candidates ever, adding the current record of 376 candidates was reached in 2016. The nominees aren't announced by the very secretive board in Oslo, but those doing the nominating may choose to make it public, raising publicity both for the nominee and the proposer.Earlier reports had said that Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny and former White House advisor Jared Kushner, who brokered the Arab-Israel Abraham Accords, were among the nominees. A vast group of people &mdash; heads of state or politicians serving at a national level, university professors, directors of foreign policy institutes, past Nobel Prize recipients and members of the Norwegian Nobel Committee &mdash; can submit a nomination for the prize.

Who Are The 2020 Nobel Prize Winners? | Summachar

Hello and welcome to another exciting video of Summachar.
In this video, we will look at laureates bestowed with the honour of the Nobel Prize this year for being recognized for their positive contributions to the society.
Dr. Harvey J. Alter, Michael Houghton and Charles M. Rice won the 2020 Nobel Prize in Medicine for discovery of the Hepatitis C virus. The committee said that they had &ldquo;made possible blood tests and new medicines that have saved lives.&rdquo;
Hepatitis C is a blood-borne pathogen affecting 71 million people worldwide and it can cause severe liver inflammation, or hepatitis. It is typically transmitted through shared or reused needles and syringes, infected blood transfusions and sexual practices that lead to blood exposure.
Roger Penrose, Reinhard Genzel and Andrea Ghez received 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics for improving the understanding of the universe, including work on Black Holes.
Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer A. Doudna received 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for development of CRISPR-Cas9, a method for genome editing, that can help to cure sickle cell disease and congenital blindness.
CRISPR uses a family of genomes of prokaryotic organisms like bacteria, to detect and destroy similar bacteria during subsequent infections. Thus it can edit DNA in human cells via a petri dish.
Poet and Essayist, Louise Gl&uuml;ck received the Nobel Prize in Literature 2020 for &ldquo;her unmistakable poetic voice&rdquo;. She has already won the Pulitzer prize and the National Book Award, for tackling themes like childhood and family life, often reworking Greek and Roman myths.
The World Food Programme has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for 2020, for its impressive efforts to combat food crisis in the Covid-19 pandemic. By honouring this program, the Nobel Committee has also sent a message to governments around the world, to not cut financial contributions to international humanitarian groups.
Paul R. Milgrom and Robert B. Wilson have been awarded the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences, for 2020, for inventing new auction formats for the sale of goods and services and improving the existing auction theory.
Did you know? John Nash is the only person to be awarded both the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences and the Abel Prize. He was a mathematician who made fundamental contributions to Game Theory, and Differential Geometry. His theories are widely used in Economics.

Nobel Peace Prize 2020 awarded to World Food Programme

World Food Progamme wins Nobel Peace Prize&nbsp;for its efforts to combat hunger and to improve conditions for peace in conflict areas.
&nbsp;
 &nbsp; &nbsp;

World Food Programme awarded&nbsp;Nobel Peace Prize&nbsp;
WFP&nbsp;awarded for efforts to combat hunger
It provided assistance to 100 million people in 2019
Agency strives to fight food insecurity &amp; hunger
&nbsp;

The Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to the World Food Programme (WFP) in Oslo on Friday for its efforts to combat hunger and to improve conditions for peace in conflict areas. WFP, the United Nations agency&nbsp;is the largest humanitarian organization that addresses hunger and promotes food security. In 2019, the WFP provided assistance to close to 100 million people in 88 countries who are the victims of acute food insecurity and hunger.
The prize for peace differs from the other annual Nobel awards as it is awarded by the&nbsp;Norwegian rather than Swedish committee, as laid out in prize founder Alfred Nobel's will. Along with enormous prestige, the prize comes with $1.1 million cash award and a gold medal to be handed out at a ceremony in Oslo, Norway, on December&nbsp;10, the anniversary of&nbsp;Alfred Nobel's death. This year's ceremony will be scaled down due to the pandemic.

PTI,&nbsp;Washington: The nomination of Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize for brokering the landmark Israel-UAE deal is a "hard-earned and well-deserved honour," the White House has said, underlining that the US President has made peace a cornerstone of his foreign policy efforts.
Far-right Norwegian lawmaker Christian Tybring-Gjedde on Wednesday nominated Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize for his work in mediating the deal between Israel and the UAE which is seen as a historic step towards peace in the Middle East.
Israel and the UAE announced on August 13 that they were establishing full diplomatic relations. The first commercial direct flight between Israel and the UAE landed in Abu Dhabi on August 31 after both countries announced normalisation of relations. The deal would be signed on September 15 at the White House.
The UAE is only the third Arab country to establish diplomatic ties with the Jewish state. Israel's neighbours, Egypt and Jordan, being the other two Arab states to recognise Israel.
"President Trump was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of his work in brokering an Israel-United Arab Emirates peace deal. It was a historic deal and the first such deal in over two decades. This is a hard-earned and well-deserved honour for this President," White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany said on Wednesday.
President Trump has made peace a cornerstone of his recent foreign policy efforts, she said.
Any lawmaker serving in a national legislature can nominate a person for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Tybring-Gjedde was one of two Norwegian lawmakers who nominated Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2018 for his efforts to bring reconciliation between North Korea and South Korea. The 2018 prize was won by Denis Mukwege from Congo and Nadia Murad from Iraq for their efforts to end the use of sexual violence as a weapon of war and armed conflict.
In his nomination letter on Wednesday, Tybring-Gjedde, a member of the Norwegian Parliament for the far-right Progress Party, also cited Trump's &ldquo;key role in facilitating contact between conflicting parties and &hellip; creating new dynamics in other protracted conflicts, such as the Kashmir border dispute between India and Pakistan, and the conflict between North and South Korea, as well as dealing with the nuclear capabilities of North Korea,&rdquo; the Fox News reported.
Trump has repeatedly in the past offered to mediate between India and Pakistan on the Kashmir issue. However, India has maintained that the Kashmir issue is a bilateral one and no third party has any role.
McEnany said that the president's foreign policy will always be one of peace through strength, and that is what the American people are seeing abroad.
"Career politicians merely talk about the kind of results this president has achieved on the world stage," she said.
"These wins are possible because of the President's leadership and outsider perspective. President Trump addresses old challenges with new solutions and delivers results for the American people," she said.
Highlighting Trump's initiatives, McEnany said that the US has announced a drawdown of troops in Iraq from 5,200 to 3,000.
"We've secured better trade deals for the American worker. President Trump negotiated the USMCA (United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement), the U.S.-South Korea deal; ended the Trans-Pacific Partnership; brought back manufacturing jobs," she said. "President Trump has stood up to China: the phase one China deal; also tariffs to hold China accountable; and actions to block Huawei," she said.
President Trump has also defeated terrorists. The ISIS caliphate is destroyed. Al-Baghdadi is no longer on the battlefield, along with Iranian General Soleimani, she said.
He has also brokered economic normalisation between Serbia and Kosovo, a major breakthrough in this decades-old conflict, McEnany added.&nbsp;

#Peak2020: Trump has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize

Its almost like 2020 is a nightmare from which we don't seem to be waking up. First there's a global pandemic which crippled lives, locking us indoors for the greater part of the year, then Trump got nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
We're not kidding. The Internet is calling this moment #Peak2020. Its like saying "Bring it on 2020, what more have you got?"
US President Trump has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by a Norwegian parliamentarian for his role in helping to broker Israel-UAE peace deal. If Trump wins, he will follow the footsteps of Barack Obama, his predecessor and political archrival.
Obama won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize for his "extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between people". Interestingly, Trump's nomination also comes just ahead of US presidential polls and crushing coronavirus crisis that has the US topping the list of worst-hit countries.
In February 2019, Trump had said that he deserves to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his work on North Korea and Syria, but grumbled about Obama getting it. &ldquo;They gave it to Obama. He didn&rsquo;t even know what he got it for. He was there for about 15 seconds and he got the Nobel Prize. He said, &lsquo;Oh, what did I get it for?&rsquo;&rdquo; &ldquo;With me, I probably will never get it.&rdquo;, he had said.
Well, all we can say is, never say never.
