  • James Bays and Folly Bah Thibault to talk to Colombian president Juan Manuel Santos LIVE in Oslo
  • Special One hour show on Saturday 10 December 16:00 - 17:00GMT
  • Event and interview to be live online and social platforms

Doha - 8th December, 2016

Al Jazeera’s James Bays and Folly Bah Thibault will be talking live to the Colombian president and Nobel peace prize winner Juan Manuel Santos in Oslo.

Santos won the award for his efforts in negotiating a peace deal with FARC rebels – ending Latin America’s longest conflict.

In a live, one-hour interview, Al Jazeera will look at how the peace deal came about, and how Santos now faces the challenge of implementing a plan that was initially rejected by Colombians in a referendum.

The Norwegian Nobel Committee decided to award the Nobel Peace Prize for 2016 to Santos for his resolute efforts to bring the country’s more than 50-year-long civil war to an end, a war that has cost the lives of at least 220,000 Colombians and displaced close to six million people.

Follow the ceremony and Al Jazeera’s news coverage from the weekend’s events in Oslo, followed by the Nobel Interview with Juan Manuel Santos in this exclusive interview.

Al Jazeera will also be airing the interview through various digital platforms such as simultaneous Facebook Live + Periscope and on www.aljazeera.com

Ends

This is a live broadcast from Oslo at 16.00 GMT.  Please check local times for your region.
