For awarding it to ressa it has made nobel peace prize cheap.
Im.from d philippines and majority of us dont trust ressa
Not me. I'm Filipino and I don't support your logic.
Im a filipino and i dont think maria ressa deserves the award. Also, most of my friends dont even think she deserves the award.
She was not natural born Filipina. She was Burmese/Indonesian and applied for Philippine citizenship.
You could ask all Filipinos if Maria Ressa deserved that award and mostly will give you a middle finger for an answer... what a joke..🤣🤣🤣
Hahahaha this is so accurate
Hahahhahahahaha ITS TRUE!!!! lol they awarded her that to legitimize her but they failed to mention the many laws she has broken
i wonder who nominated maria ressa in the first place?
Same with Malala
This Peace Prize has been politically motivated for years now, or at least in many instances. There are so many who should not have received this prize. I consider this prize on the same level as many music/movie awards, just an entertainment.
Maybe it should be given posthumously, so it is on deeds done, and their next generation has to build upon as a legacy!
Well they gave Obama one who bombed 7 countries so your guess is as good as mine:-)
The Nobel Peace Prize is one of the five Nobel Prizes established by the will of Swedish industrialist, inventor and armaments (military weapons and equipment) manufacturer Alfred Nobel. The reason is because Alfred regret that his invention have increase human suffering.
Perhaps it is the inventor's curse... Alfred Nobel created dynamite as a mining tool designed to make mining easier. Didn't anticipate his creation to be used for war.
Similarly he created the Foundation and prizes to further science and peace. Didnt expect it to be turned into a political soft-power weapon.
It's ridiculous that the CEO of the most distrusted media outlet in the Philippines won that award. 😬
Brain Reveal
THIS HOST IS ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS 💕SHE ASKS THE RIGHT QUESTIONS N SHE’S THOROUGH 🌷💫⭐️💝
Don't be creepy
@@Saiputera lol
Finally a media network picked up the issue which asked question from my mind from many years. I also did not understood why there exists a peace prize. Thanks!
Which is weird cause Obama won it 🤔
money buys ... people
"in a sense a political decision" hence propaganda
Resa was convicted of libel filed by businessman King, how can one award such a thing, no wonder people think of this awarding body as a joke and politically motivated
Excellent episode as always
Thank you Sandra excellent presentation.
I believe it has been politicising especially in the peace category
So beautiful presentation.
Thank you so much, ma'am.
Great report Sandra on how one can work towards the Nobel Prize.
He's is one of a kind truly a hero for his nation & we love him dearly. That's what matters.
After Maria Ressa won, the credibility of this award is now in questioned.
Al Jazeera, Why don't you leave Ethiopia alone?? You don't have any other news to talk about other than Ethiopia or PM Abiy Ahmed? Are you getting paid from tplf to report this? It is a shame.
Not Ethiopian president he is a prime minister and he is worthy winner. No one expects a leader of a country not to react when it's army is attacked.
I would like to know more about the conflict between Ukraine 🇺🇦 and Russia 🇷🇺
Obama and Kissinger each received one.
What _is_ the point?
Yu truly deserve the right to get the Nobel peace prize award for your stunning journalism🥉🥉
Journalism ke liye Pulitzer prize hota hai
Maria Ressa is a joke 😂, she got the Nobel Peace Prize because Foreigners can be easily manipulated and she use that as an opportunity to destroy the Duterte Administration by spreading Fake News 😂, that's why she is nicknamed as the Fake News Queen in the Philippines and that's why people in the Philippines thinks that the Nobel Peace Prize is a joke 😂😂
There may have been some misses on who has been chosen for the Nobel Peace Prize but you can't deny that some absolutely outstanding choices have also been made like The Red Cross, The World Food Program, Doctors Without Borders just to name a few. They can't go wrong if they focus on choices like these.
lol the Red Cross
Every person has different perspective on Peace and as long as it not able to clearly defined. The Nobel Peace prize will always be arbitrary and don't have a true meaning.
A kind gaze cheers the heart,
joyful news strengthens bones.
Can nobel committee take back Maria Ressa's
Cause she claimed to be representing the people of the Philippines but it was the irony. Majority despise her for her utter disregard of the nations image elsewhere and only criticize and demonize the government and all its policies for the benefit of its people. Only a handfull congratulated her, her usual circles but majority will say she do not deserve that prize in the expense of her country
Dr Abiy Ahmed of Ethiopia, deserves another noble peace prize for fighting on the frontline for his people’s peace & freedom with terrorist juntas who wants to dismantle the country.
I'm totally agreed.
He is our hero!!
Abiy of Ethiopia is more deserving of the prize than de klerk, Mandela, Malara , Obama. As for Mandela the prize should have been given to the ANC as an organisation that kept him as a leader while he was sleeping at Robben Island . De klerk wining was and still is an insult to African people
alfred nobel first invented a bomb so take it easy on us blacks we didnt join the parlae then
Why aljezira dont talk about quatar regime
While his forces are also raping and killing innocent civilians? I don't think so.
Please make an episode on South Korea household debt issue !!! Lovely content by the entire team.
This is where Canada gained our peace loving reputation. It was a Canadian prime minister who created the UN Peace Corp. that stopped the brewing war in the Suez Canal back in the 50s. We still have that reputation. We like peace.
That's the right sort of balance in reporting that we need.
Fun fact, the Vietnamese diplomat Le Duc Tho is the only one to reject this prize.
nice info
Good video thanks
BO for Maria Ressa..
I'm from Philippines
Tysm 😊🤗 I'm not exaggerating but I was thinking about the same topic ✨✌️
Prizes, have for years, been based on politics and have nothing to do with the individuals real merit. The Nobel prize, so long respected ….is No longer very important or worth knowing…
You have done great
The Journalist from the Philippines did no "Peace-work"...
It is a prize given to a famous person that accepts a long dinner together with Norwegians.
The e point of it is to fool people, Abiy Ahmed of Ethiopia is a prime example of it
I am from India and I sincerely request you to do an episode on the current ''Demoncracy'' in India ? Because like me, millions of poor Indians are suffering !!!!
Indians are suffering because you are over-populated. China is now rich because of the one child policy.
There where so many Awards that where meant to Reward the Development of specific kind of Activity in society, good contribution of Science was the main agenda of the Nobel Award first, the Man was a rich Scientist, his efforts became well known in the region, the idea of the Peace Prize is still Contraversial, who is good and who is bad, but they rewarded some great figures like Martin Luther King and Mahathma Gandhi which their Greatness and Sincerity was a Wide Consensus.
gandhi wAS A child rapper ... get your facts straight ....
One can be a hero of peace in one situation and be warmonger in another situation. It's the reality of the world.
Thanks.
Didn't the leader of the Taliban get nominated or something like that?
Prime minister Abey Ahmed Deserve 2nd Novel peace prize he is fighting front to To Gave freedom for Ethiopia 🇪🇹 &Africa !Such Great leader
Please make video covering the situation in Ukraine .
For the quote by Kofi Annan! Kudos
thank you
Madam Ellen Johnson Sirleaf won it as well, and the positive impact is that today Liberia is still peaceful. Like a common saying, if there is peace, prepare for war, and the opposite is true.
Peace is seeing so beautiful journalist 😍
Yes it is a recognition for your personal effort to bring peace where it is difficult to achieve it in a conventional ways. But, it surely SHOULD NOT BE ASSUMED AS AN ADVANCE AGREEMENT that you can NOT resort to other ways if your country were about to be stolen its huge chance of development by its own RESOURCES and means!!! PM Abiy just responded to this western tactics in a natural way!
Hi, can you explain on issues related to South East Asia countries like mine Malaysia?
Can i just say love this program
Has peace prize really worked to end enimity in the world? The international prize for peace particularly political leaders needs to be scrutinized with outcome of the leaders role in his particular country. That raises doubtful questions over the committee.
the principle of a highly publicized peace award like this certainly could promote peace. and I think the nobel peace prize still might, because as far as I'm aware, most people take it seriously and hardly know anything about its bizarre recipients like henry kissinger.
i love your video
Hello from India 🇮🇳, Congrats
Ewwww Maria Ressa 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
I stopped children fighting through peaceful "candy negotiations"
Do I get a Nobel?
Yes,you deserve noble
depends, which candy?
@@squidjames7735 Swedish Fish and Jelly Belly Jelly Beans brokered peace that ominous day
You deserve one.
From the name itself "a Peace PRize" but SOME of the awardee promotes chaos, how ironic.
This is all for Dr.Aby Ahemed 😆. He is a hero. He deserves another bigger peace prizes for liberating Ethiopia from neocolonialism.
The nobel peace praise should never given to politicians, we see that Ethiopia PM and other,
Accept Nelson and like him
I always watch your show,starts here,because my heart starts falling in love with u😃🙂
please shed the light on the suffering of kids who are taken from their families by social services in Sweden and sent to care centers where they are exposed to physical ,mental & sexual abuse..drugs etc..
We don't care whatever criteria that the novel peace prize have that they awarded that prize to Philippine Journalist & CEO Ms. Maria Ressa of Rappler! For it was not the Filipino standard because that award giving body of peace prize was a European standard!, not ours! But we still congratulate Ms. Maria Ressa as recipients of that award because she deserves that award according to European standard & criteria of that award giving body! But still Ms. Maria Ressa was convicted by Philippine Court of Cyber Libel filed by a Pilipino Chinese Businessman based in Cebu City, after they publish (Rappler) that this Businessman was a drug lord, engaged in illegal activities etc,etc. Then this Businessman filed a case against them (Ms. Ressa & Rappler) in court of Cyber Libel and after a lengthy hearing of the case, and those accused was given a due process of law, and the verdict of the court was guilty beyond reasonable doubt! But what's the irony was Ms. Maria Ressa blamed Philippine President Duterte of violation of Human Rights, Rights of free Expression or speech, Rights of free press and media, etc,etc, but President Duterte was innocent and don't know or have no hand on that case! It is the Rappler to be blame because they became reckless and abuse the freedom of expression!as a media practitioner they should be responsible and follow the media code of ethics. As a results they became the big laughing stock of Philippine Public. But fortunately for Rappler they still continued their duties and functions as one of Media outlets here in the Philippines! Luckily also for Rappler because our country was a vibrant Democratic country in Asia. Maybe they are close now if they were in China, Russia or in North Korea. But here in the Philippines we have a freedom of the press, freedom of speech & assembly & other Democratic rights & sometimes we abused it, yes it's true, but rights is not absolute if you violates the rights of other people, there was a law that safeguard that!
You always rise controversial ideas to show your position we all 🇪🇹knows you very well
I could listen to Sandra Gathmann all day! In fact I literally am…I loaded up a baker’s dozen of her presentations as I watch the fifa match today.
Her and Julia Ioffe.
@@PatHaskell Oh yes! Julia is someone worth listening to. Her Frontline interview on Putin, most eloquent and informative.
As a footnote, she recently did a piece on FIFA and it was obvious that she took great pain to avoid taking a swipe at the hand that feeds her.
The Nobel Peace Prize needs to issue the prize 10-15 years after the peace-keeping action occurs. Not only will this help prevent warmongers from receiving the prize, but it also allows for time in order analyze the relevancy of a peace-keeping action. For example, Einstein received his prize in 1921 based of his work in 1905. If all the other Nobel prizes allow for time to pass, why shouldn’t the Peace prize?
Thanks for your clarification my pretty and we hope to be fortunate in the future to get this price .🤣🤣
do something about kenya
Nice
Wangari Maathai of Kenya Received the Nobel peace prize for her remarkable efforts in Conserving Environmental through Her move towards Saving Karura forest,Green Belt Movement formed as a result
9:38 request topic:
A lot of people hates censorship, stifling free speech from oppressive govts & yet they're also the same people who does that by blocking users in their FB pages, & the likes. And they simply claim "trolls" which is the same claim as the oppressive govts claiming some people as "subversives". Troll is merely the online term counterpart from the traditional term subversive.
In many cases, they simply can't win logical debates, so they label them as "trolls" aka subversives & then block them.
"the least controversial winners include [...] mother teresa"
oh, you haven't heard?
Joe Cavier is that an attempt to make some kind of point? I have no idea what you're saying, your grammar is terrible.
since you definitely don't know what I'm talking about: mother teresa was a monster. classic sadistic catholic nun.
Cool!
Well abey ahamed had no other choice than to go to war to save ethiopia
The creator of destructive bombs giving peace award. It's totally ridiculous!
Can you guys cover the flood that currently happen in Malaysia?
Please explain financial crash of 2008 and it's impact in detail...
Make a content of Peace and conflict studies pleass
That’s simple. Alfred noble wanted to give peace prize. It’s his money and he makes decision about that not anyone else. For example, there is a noble peace prize but there is no noble mathematic prize. But the importance of reward is based on public opinion. When it comes to peace, your political view come into play. The noble committee are mostly retired politicians and have their own views. So I think noble peace prize is not important and comprehensive. It just match with the committee’s view.
I thought tha nobel peace prize..is an award that recognizes you being a nobel.....my bad..lol..
Layers Abye Ahimed should get another Nobel peace prize for standing & defending his nation.
Nothing it has lost all credibility
The NPP is shifted from its main path to political games.
A 31 years old refugee who has been an advocate for his fellow refugees and a peace trainer to date and have no reach to this opportunity to win any medal whatsoever it is, who even knows me?
I don't know when the world will ever be fair.
Why do not you ask @Barack Obamas Nobel peace Prize, while he openly admitted that itwas a huge mistake of his regime to destroy Libiya
I really don't know why
Answer: to acknowledge and reward the person who does the most to keep the peace globally.
"Abolishment of standing armies", well 🤷🏾♂️
Journalists like you take countries' sovernighty very easily. Theses leadears, whom you are making of fun, have a lot to lose. That's there country and nation.
Tell me please, which countries leader would tolerate if a military group within the country attacked the the country's defence force? Do your country's leader or any other countries's leader tolerate such a terrorist act? I'm talking about the great Ethiopian leader Dr. Abiy.
Anyway you are Aljazeera. We Aficans don't excpect fair News from you.
Malala is not worthy please stop showing her as an example of where the Nobel peace prize got it right. sickening.
Noble and Oscar's are political awards not exactly on the marit.
Nobel peace prize is purely political, if you trace most of its recipients. It should be given as a post humous award, an exception in Nobel, because of its delicate nature. So as not to have much intended political influence, agenda, effect. The deceased awardee would also have truly lived a life worthy of receiving the prize without getting subjugated by the influence of such prestige, which in surface is a very self-honoring award, but in reality, an award lobbied merely by higher political forces/players for the sake of their perceived just world order, justified wars, occupation, white washing, etc.
Unlike fields of science discoveries or literature creations that other Nobel Prize awards, peace implies an uninterrupted and enduring period.
We could recognize the significance of an scientific innovation and then ascribe it to one or several persons at a relatively short lapse (Despite many Nobel laureates receive medal dozens of years after their major contribution). But few would agree that Peace can be evaluated by this way.
However the purport of Peace Prize is awarding "advance fellowship among nations, establishment and promotion of peace congresses". That normally refer to the truce of a war or improvement of well-beings. If peace only lasted 5 seconds, It can serve only for magazine reloading; if improvement of well-beings bulges only in a fiscal year, it is rather like an indulgence. Both two targets become appreciable, only if being proved thought its sustainability, consistence or effectivity after a noticeable long duration.
So I would hardly understand that a Peace Prize awarded Arafat, when No PROVEN peace has been maintained long enough. 27 years after the celebration, Israel and Palestine are still locked by endless conflicts.
Prize for science or medicine is similarly a joke.
Why do we still don't have one world leader to guide other representatives of the countries
Make video on Ukraine-Russia conflict.
The Peace Prize, or for that matter any Nobel prize is highly political in its selection. For the longest of time, the Norwegian Committee acted like thorough Racists not awarding it to any Asian or African till the 60s, but it is not a question of who they awarded it to, they certainly have awarded it to a lot many undeserving candidates and in the process, they have deprived a lot many deserving candidates. People like Mahatma Gandhi thoroughly deserved it, in hindsight or otherwise, there is no one better epitomizing the tenets of global peace, and yet never awarded, these examples only serve to destroy the credentials of such prizes, as the Norwegian Committee Secretary Geir Lundestad pointed, 'Gandhi could do without a noble peace prize, whether the Nobel Committee could do without Gandhi is the question'.
I want you guys explain AUKUS. 😁
Pls cover Philippine voting on 5.2022
Dr. Abiy Ahmed Of Ethiopia the true leader he protect his country from zombies (western), historical enemies, and internal enemies (Banda's) he deserve it again.
