President Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize
President Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize early this morning for “his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples,” according to the Nobel Committee in Oslo. We take a look at the significance of this and a look back at the history of the prestigious award with Professor Paul Martin, director of Human Rights Studies at Barnard College, the BBC’s Lars Bevanger reporting from Oslo, and New York Times reporter Alan Cowell.
