    1. Hart, Holmstrom share economics Nobel

    British-born Oliver Hart and Bengt Holmstrom of Finland won the Nobel Prize in Economics for shedding light on* how contracts help people deal with conflicting interests, from CEO pay packages to whether to privatize* a public service.

    In announcing the award on Monday, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said that “the new theoretical* tools created by Hart and Holmstrom are valuable to the understanding of real-life contracts and institutions, as well as potential pitfalls in contract design.”

    The London-born Hart, 68, who is an American citizen, works at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Holmstrom, a 67-year-old Finnish citizen, works at the nearby Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

    2. Clinton wins debate

    Hillary Clinton won the second U.S. presidential debate on Sunday, according to CNN/ORC’s post-debate poll, though respondents agreed that Donald Trump outperformed* expectations.

    Fifty-seven percent of debate-watchers in the poll said Clinton won, compared with 34 percent who said Trump did. But 63 percent believed Trump did better than they expected, compared to a full 60 percent that thought Clinton either did worse than expected or did not outperform expectations.

    3. 140 killed in Yemen airstrike

    A Saudi-led coalition airstrike hit a funeral hall packed with thousands of mourners in Yemen’s capital on Saturday, killing over 140 people and wounding more than 525 in one of the deadliest single attacks of the country’s civil war, a U.N. official said.

    Saudi Arabia announced on Sunday it would launch an investigation into “reports about the regrettable* and painful bombing” in Sanaa. It is the latest in a string of bombings by the coalition that have struck hospitals, markets and other places civilians congregate*.

    4. Santos to donate Nobel prize money

    Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos announced on Sunday that he would donate his US$925,000 in Nobel Peace Prize money to victims of the conflict that has roiled* his country for half a century.

    Accompanied by his wife and children, as well as several members of his Cabinet, the winner of this year’s Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to broker* a peace deal with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) said the funds would go toward “projects, foundations or programs that deal with victims and reconciliation*.”

    “We’re going to persevere*, we will persist, persist, persist and persist until we implement the agreement that was signed” with the FARC guerrillas*, Santos said.

    5. Cholera outbreak in Haiti

    Cholera* has killed at least 13 people in southwest Haiti in the wake of Hurricane Matthew, government officials said on Saturday, as health workers sought to reach the epicenter* of one outbreak.

    Six people died of cholera in a hospital in the southern town of Randel, which is inland near a river, and another seven died in the western town of Anse-d’Ainault, the officials said, likely as flood waters mixed with sewage*.

    Cholera causes severe diarrhea* and can kill within hours if untreated. It is spread through contaminated water and has a short incubation* period.

    6. Man wanted in bomb plot detained

    German police said on early Sunday that they have detained a 22-year-old Syrian man who was the subject of a nationwide hunt and is believed to have been preparing a bomb attack.

    Jaber Albakr was detained overnight in the eastern city of Leipzig, police said. Albakr, from the Damascus area of Syria, escaped the authorities on Saturday.

    Investigators said they found “several hundred grams” of a volatile explosive* hidden in the apartment, enough to cause significant damage.(SD-Agencies)
