Nobel prizes to be announced Oct 8 to 15

---

STOCKHOLM, Aug 17 (AFP): The 2007 Nobel prizes will be announced between October 8 and 15, the Nobel Foundation said Friday, with former US vice president Al Gore, a Canadian Inuit and Bolivia's president in the running for the peace prize.
The peace price, the most celebrated of the Nobel honours, will be announced on October 12 in Oslo by the Norwegian Nobel Committee.
The names of the nominees are a closely-guarded secret, but those who submit nominations are allowed to disclose their choice. The list for the peace prize is also known to comprise the names of 181 individuals and organisations.
With climate change high on the international agenda, one likely contender is Gore, whose film "An Inconvenient Truth" warns of the dangers of global warming.
Sheila Watt-Cloutier, a Canadian who represents more than 150,000 fellow Inuits in the Inuit Circumpolar Conference and who has campaigned to draw attention to climate change in the Arctic, is another possible candidate.
