The Norwegian Nobel Committee praised their efforts to safeguard freedom of expression

This year's Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded to two campaigning journalists - Maria Ressa from the Philippines and Dmitry Muratov from Russia. The Norwegian Nobel Committee praised their efforts to safeguard freedom of expression, which it said was a precondition for democracy and lasting peace. We have an interview with Maria Ressa. 

A suicide bomb attack has taken place on a mosque in northern Afghanistan, with dozens of people feared dead or injured.

Also, a report from Saint Petersburg on how Russia is using its natural resources to exert power.
