 Colombia is just waking up to the news of the Nobel peace prize for President Juan Manuel Santos. It comes as a surprise for many Colombians who believed his chances had been scuttled by the rejection of the peace deal his government had hammered out with Farc rebels after four years of talks in a referendum on 2 October. 
  
 According to Kristian Herbolzheimer, of peace consultancy Conciliation Resources, given the “toxic dynamic” of local politics after the referendum, the prize’s consequences domestically are “unpredictable”. 
  
 Critics of Santos had derided the president for allegedly being motivated by winning the Nobel prize in his search for peace in Colombia. Last night someone who voted no in the plebiscite told me she was happy because the result of the vote meant Santos wouldn’t get the prize. 
  
 Carlos Holmes Trujillo, a member of the opposition Democratic Centre party and the committee designated to search for a way out of the crisis, told local radio that the prize is “a well-deserved recognition by the international community of the efforts he has been making for peace”. 
  
 The former president Álvaro Uribe, who campaigned vehemently against the peace deal with the Farc and has been a constant critic of Santos, has been tweeting since 5am (11am UK time) but has made no mention of the peace prize for his arch-rival. Also no reaction yet from Farc leadership who are in Havana. 
  
 César Rodriguez Garavito, the director of Dejusticia, a Colombian thinktank, says the Nobel prize will boost efforts to reach a new peace deal. Those who led the campaign for rejecting the peace accord in last week’s referendum are in talks with the government to make changes to the agreement that will make it more palatable to the half of Colombian voters who rejected it. 
  
 “It doesn’t change the results of the plebiscite, but it reminds the parties that what is at stake is the end of the war, not political calculations,” said Garavito. “It’s a recognition of the titanic efforts to reach peace.” |||||

Answer: Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos has won this year's Nobel Peace Prize for what the Nobel Committee calls "his resolute efforts to bring the country's more than 50-year-long civil war to an end," the AP reports. Santos and Rodrigo Londono, leader of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia left-wing rebel group, signed a historic deal late last month to end a 52-year conflict that had killed more than 220,000 people—only for voters to reject the deal in a shock referendum result the following week. A Nobel Committee spokeswoman said that despite the rejection, Santos "brought the bloody conflict significantly closer to a peaceful solution," and the committee hopes the prize will help give him the strength to keep striving for peace. The Syrian White Helmets, volunteer rescue workers who operate in rebel-held areas of Syria, had been considered the favorite to win the prize, the Guardian reports. "Congratulations to the people and President of Columbia. We sincerely wish them peace," the group tweeted.


Question: Organisers of the Shenzhen half-marathon have said the 258 participants caught cheating during Sunday’s race will not be able to run away from punishment for their actions. 
  
 As many as 18 runners were found to wearing fake bibs, and three were running on behalf of others. They face lifetime bans from the event, the Chinese Xinhua news agency reported. 
  
 The 237 others, most of whom had taken shortcuts during the race and were caught out by traffic cameras and local photographers, could be banned for two years.

 In the most blatant case, a traffic camera caught runners turning round at least 1km before they were supposed to make a U-turn, potentially shaving about 10% off the 21km race. 
  
 Footage shows runners crossing through bushes and trees that separated two parts of the course. 
  
 Facebook Twitter Pinterest Shenzhen half marathon footage shows participants taking shortcuts. 
  
 Xinhua quoted organisers as saying: “We deeply regret the violations that occurred during the event. Marathon running is not simply exercise, it is a metaphor for life, and every runner is responsible for him or herself.”

 Hardly masking its disgust at the widespread cheating, Xinhua branded it “deeply shameful” and added: “No matter the participants or the organisers, they should reflect: What is the significance of participating in and holding marathons? 
  
 “Don’t run and forget why you run. Don’t let the marathon turn sour.” 
  
 Participants in the Shenzhen marathon, just over the border from Hong Kong, were required to enrol with valid credentials, such as ID cards, residence permits, passports or military ID. 
  
 Other marathon events in China are reported to have started using facial recognition technology to track runners. 
  
 Competitors in other marathons are now kitted out with electronic chips that register runners’ progress as they pass over timing mats installed around the course. This provides more accurate times – but it also gives organisers, and anyone who cares to look, a wealth of data to examine for suspicious results. 
  
 Marathon and leisure running is growing fast in China despite the pollution which often blankets major cities, with participants donning the latest fashionable gear and wearable technology. 
  
 In 2011 there were just 22 marathons, half-marathons or other running events in China, according to the Chinese Athletics Association. However, that figure has skyrocketed to nearly 1,100 this year. ||||| Hong Kong (CNN) More than 200 runners have been disqualified from the Shenzhen half marathon after widespread cheating was uncovered following the race on November 25, Chinese state-run media Xinhua said. 
  
 About 16,000 people were estimated to take part in the race on Sunday, just one of more than 1,000 marathons being held across the country in 2018 alone. 
  
 But just days later it was discovered that 258 runners had cheated during the annual event, with some taking shortcuts while others hired people to run for them. 
  
 "We deeply regret the violations that occurred during the event. Marathon running is not simply exercise, it is a metaphor for life, and every runner is responsible for him or herself," event organizers said after the race. 
  
 Video on traffic cameras caught runners brazenly crossing through a nature strip from one side of a highway to the other to significantly shorten their race by up to three kilometers (1.8 miles).

Answer: More than 250 half-marathon runners are facing bans in China for what organizers describe as blatant cheating in a race in Shenzhen. Some 237 participants in Sunday's race face two-year bans after traffic cameras spotted them taking shortcuts. One video shows runners making a U-turn through a treed area well before the designated turn, shaving up to 1.8 miles off the 13.1-mile course, per CNN, which notes such races typically have only one or two cheaters. Another 18 runners found to be wearing fake bibs and three participants who ran on behalf of others also face lifetime bans, per the Guardian. "We deeply regret the violations that occurred," organizers say. "Marathon running is not simply exercise, it is a metaphor for life, and every runner is responsible for him or herself." Some 16,000 runners are believed to have taken part in the race. (Read about the ludicrous Barkley Marathons.)

 This will NOT appear anywhere on Newser ||||| “Logan” tore into the weekend box office, opening to a massive $85.3 million and proving that moviegoers will show up in force for R-rated comic book movies. The superhero spinoff marks Hugh Jackman’s last turn as Wolverine after 17 years of donning the adamantium claws. 
  
 As the movie business grows more saturated with stories about costumed vigilantes, studios are trying to find ways to differentiate their own comic book adaptations. Like “Deadpool” before it, “Logan” demonstrates that adults will turn out for tentpole fare that is bloodier and more profane than your average X-Men movie. 
  
 “Logan” was produced by 20th Century Fox and cost $97 million to make. Set in the near future, it follows Wolverine and an ailing Professor X (Patrick Stewart), who leaving their hiding place on the Mexican border to help a young mutant (Dafne Keen). James Mangold, who previously collaborated with Jackman on 2013’s “The Wolverine,” directed the movie and co-wrote the screenplay. “Logan” takes its inspiration from “Old Man Logan,” an acclaimed 2008 graphic novel that’s long been a fan favorite for its darker take on the hero. 
  
 “The movie is one of the truest movies to the source material in the comic book universe that’s ever been done,” said Chris Aronson, Fox’s domestic distribution chief. “It’s so real, it’s so emotional, and it’s so visceral.” 
  
 Critics embraced the film, hailing it as a comic book movie with bite, with Variety’s Owen Gleiberman writing that “Logan” “…brings the saga to a satisfying finish.” The audience for the film was older and male-skewing – men made up 63% of ticket buyers, with 68% of the opening weekend crowd clocking in over the age of 25. 
  
 Despite “Logan’s” dominance, Blumhouse and Universal’s “Get Out” keeps going strong. The low-budget thriller racked up $26.1 million, bringing its domestic haul to $75.9 million. That’s an impressive return for a film that cost less than $5 million to make. 
  
 Lionsgate’s “The Shack” took third place, earning a solid $16.1 million in its first weekend in theaters. The faith-based drama stars Oscar-winner Octavia Spencer and cost $26 million to produce. “The Shack” centers on a man (Sam Worthington) whose religious beliefs are tested following a family tragedy. 
  
 Warner Bros.’ “The Lego Batman Movie” and Open Road’s “Before I Fall” rounded out the top five, earning $11.6 million and $4.9 million, respectively. That pushes the Lego spinoff’s box office total to $148.6 million. “Before I Fall” is a young adult movie about a teenager (Zoey Dutch) who is stuck reliving her last day on earth until she gets it right. 
  
 Fresh off its best picture win, A24’s “Moonlight” grossed over $2.5 million and crossed the $25 million mark. The indie studio expects the coming-of-age drama to be the highest-grossing film in its history. That said, “Moonlight,” which focuses on a young man growing up gay in Miami, is one of the least widely seen best picture winners, trailing the likes of “Spotlight” ($45 million, domestically ) and “Birdman” ($42.3 million, domestically). It has grossed more than “The Hurt Locker,” the 2009 victor that made just over $17 million stateside. 
  
 Bleecker Street’s “The Last Word” opened to $35,620 in limited release. The story of an aging businesswoman (Shirley MacLaine) who enlists a writer (Amanda Seyfried) to pen her obituary, screened in four locations last weekend. 
  
 “Logan’s” success turbocharged the domestic box office, lifting ticket sales up 12% over the prior-year period, when “Zootopia” debuted to $75.1 million. It also gets March off to a hot start. This month sees the openings of “Beauty and the Beast” and “Kong: Skull Island,” both of which are on pace to score big debuts. 
  
 “This is going to be a banner month,” said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst with ComScore. “It’s going to end up being one of the biggest, if not the biggest March ever.” |||||

Answer:
The R-rated X-Men spinoff Logan slashed into the weekend box office, reports the AP, opening with a massive $85.3 million that surpassed expectations and ranks among the top March debuts ever. The 20th Century Fox release features Hugh Jackman in what he has hinted could be his final performance as Wolverine. Word of mouth got a boost from good reviews for the unusually dark and dramatic comic-book movie that—like Deadpool—further proves moviegoers' hunger for less conventional superhero films. "The movie is one of the truest movies to the source material in the comic book universe that’s ever been done," a rep for distributor 20th Century Fox tells Variety. "It’s so real, it’s so emotional, and it’s so visceral." The Oscar best-picture winner Moonlight had its widest release yet, appearing on 1,564 screens. It turned in its biggest weekend, too, with an estimated $2.5 million. Last week's No. 1 film, Jordan Peele's horror sensation Get Out slid remarkably little, dropping to second place with $26.1 million. Rounding out the top five were The Shack with $16.1 million, The Lego Batman Movie with $11.6 million, and Before I Fall with $4.9 million.
