Your Majesty, Your Royal Highnesses, Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen.

In 1963, after ten years of political struggle, he finally took a seat in the national assembly.

The Norwegian Nobel Committee has  awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for the year 2000 to Kim Dae-jung.

In 1971, Kim Dae-jung ran in the presidential election, winning 46 per cent of the votes.

The prize is for his lifelong work for democracy and human rights in South Korea and East Asia.

He spent many years in prison, then in house arrest and in exile in Japan and the United States.

The Peace Prize is an encouragement to go still further along the long road to peace and reconciliation.

To outsiders, Kim's spirit may appear almost superhuman.

He has shown personal and political courage which is all too often missing in other regions of conflict.

Kim Dae-jung ran in two more presidential elections, in 1987 and 1992.

Kim Dae-jung¡¯s path has been long - extremely long.

He withdrew from active politics after the 1992 election.

For decades he fought a seemingly hopeless fight.

But in 1997 Kim Dae-jung saw a new opportunity.

In the 1950s, when Kim ran for election, the police were used to prevent support for him.

Kim Dae-jung forgave most things - including the unforgivable.

In his own words: ¡°I used all my strength to resist the dictatorial regimes, because there was no other way to defend the people and promote democracy.¡±

The sunshine policy may thaw the cold war on the Korean peninsula.

No one has contributed more to peace in Asia than today's Laureate, Kim Dae-jung.

He found that an electrical spark passing between two spheres travels more easily in the light from another electrical discharge.

The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided to award the Nobel Physics Prize for the year 1921 to Albert Einstein

Further study showed that ultraviolet light can change the charge of a metal plate.

There is probably no physicist living today whose name has become so widely known as that of Albert Einstein.

When a quantum of light falls on a metal plate it can give its energy to an electron there.

Most discussion centers on his theory of relativity.

A part of this energy takes the electron out into the air.

Einstein has received the Nobel Prize for his studies into quantum theory.

The remaining energy stays with the electron as kinetic energy.

This theory states that energy consists of individual particles, termed "quanta".

This applies to an electron in the surface layer of the metal.

In the same way, matter is made up of particles, i.e. atoms.

Owing to these studies by Einstein the quantum theory has been perfected.

This theory had a number of problems in the first decade of this century.

Many books have been written, showing the great value of this theory.

Then Einstein did his work on specific heat and the photoelectric effect.

Einstein's law has become the basis of quantitative photo-chemistry.

Unfortunately, professor Einstein could not attend the ceremony today.
