US President Barack Obama has won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize.
The Nobel Committee said he was awarded it for "his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and co-operation between peoples".
There were a record 205 nominations for this year's prize.
The laureate - chosen by a five-member committee - wins a gold medal, a diploma and 10m Swedish kronor ($1.4m).

The laureate was getting paid some MONEY that is excellent. I am surprised that Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize. Hopefully he can uphold this award and push for peace and conflict resolution in the world.
