Climate change activists2 parked a boat in the middle of an intersection3 and sat down refusing police orders to move. Environmental groups have been involved in a wave of demonstrations4 worldwide this month aiming to raise awareness5 about inaction by governments on climate change.

And a double announcement this year for the Nobel prize for literature. The Nobel committee announcing Thursday that Polish writer Olga Tokarczuk won the 2018 Nobel prize.
