awarded to two journalists named for their hard—hitting investigations which have angered their countries powerful elites. maria ressa from the philippines and dmitry muratov from russia have both face significant threats. they commended their work saying that independent and fact—based journalism serve to protect against the abuse of power and lies. for the first time since 1935, the peace prize goes to journalists for their battle to tell the truth at great personal risk. to maria ressa and dmitry muratov, for their efforts to safeguard freedom of expression, which is a precondition for democracy and lasting peace. dmitry muratov is a russian journalist who has taken a stand against authoritarian rule. today, he dedicated the award to six colleagues, who, he said, were murdered for their work. he speaks russian. the prize, he said, belonged to them. their paper, novaya gazeta, has been highly critical of president putin and russia's ruling elite. its investigations have exposed electoral fraud such as the stuffing of ballot boxes as well as official corruption and police violence. translation: | don't know| what effect this nobel award will have on censorship of the media here in russia, with many investigative journalists being accused of being foreign agents. maria ressa from the philippines is the other winner, a woman described by the nobel committee as fearless. she's faced criminal charges and death threats. her work has exposed state abuses under the controversial president rodrigo duturte, in particular the extrajudicial killings that have come with his deadly war on drugs. thousands of people, mostly from poor communities, have been murdered. today, maria ressa spoke of the vital importance of telling the truth. when you don't have facts, you don't have a truth, you don't have trust. trust is what holds us together to be able to solve the complex problems our world is facing today, so when you attack the media, oftentimes it is about shooting the messenger. two messengers in the spotlight today as the nobel committee says press freedoms are necessary for both democracy and peace, but are under threat around the world. caroline hawley, bbc news. we will speak to a defence analyst who works closely with one of the nobel peace prize winners. he is a kind of soviet journalist, he began journalistic work during the soviet union in communist rule. afterwards, with a group of other journalists, he moved out of the two found the newspaper as an independent publication and it is the last standing print run newspaper opposition, major opposition in western russian, novaya gazeta. all the rest have been this or that way extinguished. novaya gazeta under his leadership campaigned against the first chechen war, the second chechen war and the russian invasion of georgia, the russian campaign in syria, the russian involvement in the fighting in the dumb. protest massive nuclear disarmament. getting the peace prize, it is quite warranted for our newspaper but the main thing is that we are the last independent newspaper left in russia. when you describe that novaya gazeta is the last remaining independent opposition publication inside russia, it seems interesting that the kremlin spokesman congratulated dmitry muratov on his win. how does he manage to walk that very fine line with the kremlin? dmitry muratov does not really walk a fine line with the kremlin. he does not really interact with the kremlin. they are most likely glad that the nobel prize went to dmitry muratov and not to alexei navalny, the opposition leader who is now incarcerated. it is easier to give the nobel peace prize two journalists who are not incarcerated than an opposition figure. but, anyway, the news has not been really much reported. in russia, the official tv coverage and somewhere in the second half of the main today evening news programmes. as something together with the local news. and president putin did not congratulate personally. russia gets a lot of nobel prizes. there's not a lot of public official elation about it. novaya gazeta is not that good with the kremlin but apparently for them, it is better than alexei navalny. the russian government has 0n the day that a russian journalist wednesday nobel peace prize, the russian government has designated a number ofjournalists as foreign agents, among them a reporterfrom the bbc, andrei zakharov from the bbc. the bbc says it strongly rejects the decision by russia to designate andrei as a �*foreign agent'. in a statement, it adds... officials say

figures show only 52% have been fully vaccinated. the president says he will bring in rules to require all health care workers to have the jab and urged individuals to do the same for teachers. there's been opposition, including in the deeply libertarian region of new england from our north american correspondent reports. chanting: freedom over fear! freedom over fear! it is, they say, about freedom, an individual�*s right to choose if they get vaccinated, even if they are a nurse. one of the new battle grounds over covid in the us is the requirement in some hospitals that all their staff have had the jab. but some, they say, would rather lose theirjob. leah cushman's notjust a nurse but a state politician. my beliefs are religious. i believe that my creator endowed me with an immune system that protects me, and if i get sick, that's an act of god. what, you've never been vaccinated against anything? i have before i was saved by the lord, yes. with that logic, you wouldn't take any medicines. that's not true, no. i wouldn't take one that affects the immune system this way. of course, even vaccinated staff have the potential to pass on the virus to patients, but hospital managers say unvaccinated health care workers getting sick also puts more strain on resources and suspect for some there are bigger forces at play. it's notjust covid, there are other vaccines that employees are required to have. mmr is an example, hepatitis. so again, this is a highly electrified issue, if you will, and we all recognise that. and politicised. to say it's not political would be disingenuous. save our teachers! and the controversy swept up another profession too, with school staff being threatened with sacking if they don't get vaccinated, including in new york city. in connecticut, teacher kahseim outlaw refused the vaccine and testing and has already lost his job. i do not use any kind i of synthetic ingredients in my life, whether that be for medicinal purposes, i supplementation, food and fuel. so the idea of becoming - inoculated is something that goes directly against the way that i live my life _ and have lived for the last decade or more. i what is the harm in getting tested every week? so, when we talk about harm, i view it as an unnecessary- medical procedure. kahseim had covid so says his natural immunity should suffice. but that's not enough for a government are ramping up pressure on the unvaccinated. aleem maqbool, bbc news. a shortage of abattoir workers have left them facing a human disaster according to the national farmers disaster according to the nationalfarmers union. healthy national farmers union. healthy pigs nationalfarmers union. healthy pigs are already having to be destroyed as their meat cannot be processed quickly enough. with the industry blaming brexit and the pandemic. the government says it is keeping the situation under review and working closely with the sector. it's been a busy week who is passionate about the welfare of her animals and the terrified that she will soon have to call some of them. she is banging the drum for pig farmers. this morning, she was outside doing a live tv interview while

ugh... we're farmers to feed people. it's a job, you know? that's what we do, day in, . day out, and we work bloody hard for it, as well. and i am not killing pigs for no reason. | no way. sniffling. so, these pigs are averaging about 100 kilos. if they get to 105 kilos, then basically... their value of them is halved, basically. unlike beef cattle, pigs have a small window of time in which to be sold. leave it too long, and they're too heavy and too big for the retailers. the reality is that we will actually have to pay to get rid of these pigs for them to go into landfill or to be burned. we will pay for them. we will not get anything for these pigs. another key factor is that these pens are full, and there will soon be no more room to put pigs that are coming to the system. and when they run out of space, that's when they will have to start culling healthy animals. the government says it understands the challenges the pig industry is facing and says it's working closely with the sector, keeping the situation under review. but its call to make the industry more attractive to uk workers is frustrating here. everybody that works for us is local and british. i am all for borisjohnson's quote of getting british people in britishjobs, i'm for it, but you know what? there won't be a job, there won't be an agricultural industry for these kids to come and work into. the family on this farm says the situation must improve in the next fortnight. danny savage, bbc news. when new york's metropolitan opera reopened after an 18 month shut down, it is slated to make a grand
