'The 2018 Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded to campaigners against rape in warfare Nadia Murad and Denis Mukwege.

Ms Murad is a Yazidi woman who was tortured and raped by Islamic State militants and later became the face of a campaign to free the Yazidi people.

Mr Mukwege is a Congolese gynaecologist who, along with his colleagues, has treated tens of thousands of victims.'

Good. I hope it makes a difference.

I am privileged and humbled to share a planet with such brave people.

It's great news and cannot possibly be a cynical deflection from news earlier this year which makes the judging panel at the Swedish Academy look like turds.
