Australian pop star Kylie Minogue will perform at the December 11 Nobel Peace Prize Concert honouring this year's winners, former US Vice President Al Gore and the UN's climate change panel, organisers said today.

Al Gore said today that global warming was not a political issue but a worldwide crisis.

A preliminary count showed that 167 people and groups have been nominated for the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize, but more names were expected, the awards committee’s secretary said in Norway today.
