World Food Programme wins Nobel Peace Prize 2020 for efforts to combat hunger
The World Food Programme wins the Nobel Peace Prize for its efforts against hunger and conflict... We head to South Sudan for a look at the challenges faced by its largest operation. Mali's former opposition leader Soumaïla Cissé and French charity worker Sophie Pétronin are free. But plenty of questions remain about how the hostages' release was secured. And we report on the Somali women taking a stand against extremists to enjoy the sport they love: basketball.
The World Food Programme was awarded this year's Nobel Peace Prize for its "efforts to combat hunger". Now it has to grapple with the challenges posed by Covid-19.
The United Nations World Food Programme has won the Nobel Peace Prize for its efforts to end world hunger. The organisation has helped 97 million people in 88 countries over the last year alone. Contenders for the prize included climate activist Greta Thunberg, while US President Donald Trump was also nominated.
