Al Gore has announced that he has no plans to run for the White House. Gore won the Nobel peace prize last week for his work on climate change and had not previously ruled out another run.

"I don't have plans to be a candidate again so I don't really see it in that context at all," Mr Gore told Norway's NRK television when asked how the Nobel would affect his political future. "I'm involved in a different kind of campaign, it's a global campaign," he said. "It's a campaign to change the way people think about the climate crisis."
