Annan wins award
Former UN secretary-general Kofi Annan has been awarded the 2008 Tallberg leadership prize by a Swedish forum that brings together world leaders to discuss global challenges.
The Tallberg Foundation says Annan was chosen for remaining "true to his principled pragmatism" during his 1997-2006 tenure as head of the world body. He joined the UN in 1962.
