at the time, russia said norway was acting with hysteria.think so and today's activities is another sign of that. thank you for the update and that context. let'sjust thank you for the update and that context. let's just take your alive to dublin. this is the current leg of president biden�*s trip. his three—day trip to the republic of ireland. he has travelled of cost to northern ireland recently, a very short trip. there is the beast coming along nice and slowly. i believe this is the next stage of his trip. he has met with the president, michael d higgins, earlier at the official residence. president biden also meeting the prime minister, leo varadkar, today. there have been a number of small events that have taken place. there is the taoiseach they are just standing ready to welcome and and host president biden, who is on his next meeting in his schedule. he is also later going to be addressing the upper and lower parliament of argument. reaching out a warm welcome to president biden. us presidentjoe biden continuing his official three—d

they were disobedience case in norway. ah, celia korean m, what was a little girl at the time of the l to protests. but she remembers the shock waves, the movement created after a 150 yourself. know what? no legions sation, which was as it spoke in politics, to eradicate our culture and our and language. and it was, it was hard, i guess, even to try to inc. and the thought on the right thing, i think it was hard for people in a scaled back version of the damn was eventually built in 1997. but the conflict would change the course of celia corinne has life and saw me history. you could say that they didn't win the backer, but it became clear for than a week and government that they need political body where this sammy, community voice could be hurt. 2 years later, the sammy parliament in norway was formed to day. celia carina is the president. we are a political elected body like any other political elected body. we have our disagreements between a decision is made in this hall is how many people has stated their opinion. mm

in norway. great, great examples that need the stuff, but they're getting it from countries as we've mentioned, congo and indonesia. ah. how do you correct that and make sure that they're doing it in an appropriate way? yeah, that's it. that's a great question. there are so many burdens faced by lower and middle income countries in particular that are providing materials for electric vehicles and potentially and taking used vehicles at end of life as well. and so they are likely to, to have a disproportionate burden associated with these vehicles and not have the climate in air quality benefits that richer nations are, are benefiting from. i do think there are, there are huge challenges to this, but i'm the work to put together. for example, the battery passports are there can be accountability in the value chain is extremely important. and again, europe is leading the way on that. i also think the consumer demand for o, for materials and for manufacturing practices that are, that are more just

the birth of the sammy parliament in norway had its origins. he on the l to river an important place for wild salmon fishing and randy hurting. in the late sixties, the norwegian government produced a plan to damn the river and build a massive hydro electric power plant. the original proposal would flood the knee by sammy village of nazi the sammy ford back. ah, it was 100 thanks. it was protesting by people physically trying to hump or des construction workers. they had formed the human blockade. and it went on to the point where norwegian government, it did send 600 police officers to the alpha. ah, it did go on for very many years. actually almost 10 years, if he did eval to become the largest sailor disobedience case in norway. ah, celia korean m, what was a little girl at the time of the l to protests. but she remembers the shock waves the movement created after a 150 yourself. no, what? no legions sation, which was as it spoke in politics, to eradicate our culture and our air language. and it was, it was hard, i guess even to try to think

8 out of 10 who buy a new car in norway, a buy a car in norway by a 2nd hand car. most people don't buy a new car. those who buy a new car in any country, whether it's indonesia or if it's norway or in the u. s, at least in norway, half of them are, are companies, the other half is people with a certain income. absolutely. and it's the same in poor countries as well. but these people, if they can afford a nice car, you need to make sure they also can afford an e v instead. and that's where green text is coming. you put higher texas on ice course and you allow e v 's to compete. so that people that actually afford new cars can afford and evie, their people, the way to less money in country will have to wait a few years until these ease are available in the secondhand market. right now. that is starting to happening, norway, we have a growing 2nd hand market for evie because we've been selling these cars force for us some time. but we can't we, i don't think that the solution is to make cars to cheap because that doesn't, that's not going to help us. is it? if they,

do you know this in norway, the first name?m, where in the fourth year, and i have to say something in general , luck is such a scoundrel. this is a bastard. this is a man who will sell everything for money, he is 83 years old. he is the master of this clan, which leads by the hand. first, dad from toltenberg, then a son with a thick wehrberg. he is not a coward. no, this is a person who changes his point of view all the time depending on the culture. look, he is a traitor by nature. the only thing i can tell you is that sincerely, probably, it doesn’t bother, it doesn’t scare. and that's exactly what's worrying. this is what happened after he left. i'm guessing there will be even more bastards in his place than he is a frombe. you see, from worst to worst, and i don’t believe, in general, that he will end well, he will have a difficult and very difficult end of life, that is, they are talking about such serious globalist things, because this is not their profile. well , you understand that now nato is also using the price with

and you've been to norway. i mean, it's hard soil and hardscrabble farming. so when you had one one son to him, the property down to it was. all right. but if you had eight or ten children surviving, then all of a sudden that form very, very, very small, very quickly. so a lot of second, third or fourth children ended up, making the jump to north america because canada also received a lot of a lot of immigrants from the scandinavian and nordic regions. garrison keillor to joke that they went to minnesota because it was just as cold and the ground was just as awful as it was back in norway. but you mentioned the homestead act. yeah. again, i think you know, one of the there was a great deal of marketing a scandinavian ship lines trying to get people to come to the states as well. again, part of that paul factor and again were attracted to the idea again of being able to farm land and their own farmstead. i and my my father's family immigrated ended up in kansas and you know, after spending some time on the great northern railroad and getting a homestead in, st

in previous times i think norway might have been more prepared to allow spooks to do what speaks to anthat has changed everything everywhere but norway has a border with russia in the far north at work and that's made them particularly sensitive. the other thing isjust particularly sensitive. the other thing is just the sheer number, f—15 diplomats, more than a third of the embassy really were spying, norway might have decided that is taking the mickey too much and decided to take action. russia has said it will take action itself, usually these things are tit—for—tat so my guess is that at this very moment there are about a dozen norwegians in moscow packing their toothbrushes, may doing some last—minute shopping for cheap vodka before preparing to say goodbye. that's our programme at this hour. you can head to our website or download our app to stay on top of the latest headlines. we will have the latest on our top story, the man behind the us document leaks and about half—an—hour's time. stay with us here on bbc news. hello again. thursday brought us a day of sunshine and showers, m

so i see this alignment being quite natural. professor glen deason at the university of oslo in norway. thank you so much for sharing your expertise with us. that is going to do it for this episode of modus operandi the show that dig deep into foreign policy and current affairs. i'm your host manila chan. thank you so much for tuning in. we'll see you again next time to figure out the ammo. ah right now a bundle in my bedroom number. oh oh. for those of those did you do not actually show switch him? you please go to finish solution. you go to just use the where you are dealing with so you started the military operation in ukraine. we were told the west is in lock step unity. in this case, unity means following orders without question from washington. well, that unity has begun to unravel. new europe and old europe are clearly not marching in sync with india is determined to buy russian crude oil net all over the price cop imposed by g $7.00 states, remaining one of moscow's t impulses. around to 100 dead. 100 is more wounded in saddam as flashes between the national army and the rocket

but this new evidence indicating abuse of those privileges is raising questions in norway. we could, you know, set an example and say that in know, these ships are not allowed to, to sell in origin water or a to, to use the region harbors anymore. i think there are, there are some room at room for action. there are definitely, while the russian government denies the allegations did dreaming of its military resources in ukraine, may make this type of hybrid attack on keeps allies increasingly attractive, is that will make sure that you actually harm someone without you know, it being a declaration of war necessarily, your way has just kicked out 15 russian embassy officials accusing them of being intelligence agents. perhaps making seaborne spying even more crucial for the kremlin. ah, many of you have likely heard of the welsh football club raxon due to their hollywood investors. on saturday, their clubs journey to the top flight of english football continued as they secured promotion to the 4th tier after beating warm wood with a game to spare. and it's fair to say, the ci

and i think of it in the and it will be a nice investment and good for ling and good for, for norway. and there i cannot see the problem. but the same chinese billionaire investor who unleashed a storm of protest in norway met with the same reaction in iceland. it's a question of how you look at the superpower military, super or north america. just it a 1000000000 near coming from that state. of course you ask about these connections, course, hulu. in iceland, people asked this question even more as he is the chinese billionaire was especially land hungry. he secured 300 square kilometers in the north of the island to erect a tourist complex with the help of iceland business men. there were very strange news that surfaced. lun for example, was about him wanting to import a lot of chinese, up to 3000 chinese people to, to live in groups other and even had surfaced in the canadian media that there would be some sort of a military base for china. it's all orthodontia and so i mean it's a shot. it's a media hype, rich feature, that kind of model. the chinese are coming, a chinese are comi

member norway. but friends, with a substantial arms industry of its own has insisted production should take place only within the european union, ukraine and its staunchest allies insist that decision should not be delayed by bureaucratic disputes. i understand those who want to see europe in military industry flourishing. indeed we need that, but if we delay, currently, ukrainians might not push as far and as successfully as they could with our services. therefore, speed is the main factor, but we should be looking for now. for ukraine, any delay in the decision of weapons delivery means less chance of recapturing occupied territory and more of its soldiers losing their lives on the front lines. russian foreign minister says leverage has faced a storm of criticism at the u. n. over the invasion of ukraine leverage lead a meeting on so called effects of multilateralism. as russia assumed the security council's rotating presidency, western ambassadors accused moscow of committing atrocities in ukrain

norway expels 15 russian diplomats, spies who worked in the diplomatic office of the aggressor countryoslo, the ministry of foreign affairs of this scandinavian country explained that these people were constantly engaged in diplomacy and espionage under diplomatic cover, they were declared persona non grata, the head of the department noted that such a decision by norway is an important step to protect the country's national interests , the prime minister of estonia kayakalas wants to increase defense spending to 3% of the gross domestic product, she stressed that the country needs to replenish its defense reserves after the transfer of weapons to ukraine , this is especially important against the background of the threat from neighboring russia, i note that estonia has become the largest supplier of military equipment of our country as a share of the gross domestic product , the secretary of defense of the united states of america, lloyd austin, has no doubt that the upcoming counteroffensive in the armed forces of ukraine will be successful . this will not be hindered by sure lazines

discuss and perhaps explain all of this is professor of political science at the university of oslo in norway geo political analyst and author. his latest book is called, russo phobia propaganda. and international politics. professor glen decent is with us professor. thank you so much for joining us. my pleasure. thanks for inviting me . so finland has just made a successful bid to join nato, their accession to the block, completed april 4th. first. can you tell us why finland seemingly out of the blue wish to join nato? i mean, were they facing some sort of imminent threat by anyone, specifically russia with whom they share this very porous border? well, i think that obviously a lot of things that changed was rush us in nation of ukraine, which spoke many and again, the media of course, was also consumed by this. so there was a huge and foss pushed towards joining nato. and because traditionally, finland has not had the political support for joining nato among the public. but again, because of the war and the sentiment changed quickly and, and i would get a key problem was that the, instead

until now nato's eastern border with russia included poland, this jolla, latvia, estonia and norway. in total, a frontier running more than 1200 kilometers, finland joining nato more than doubles russia's land border with the alliance. later says no non finished troops will be stationed in finland without helsinki permission. but russia has already vowed to increase its military presence near the border. the kremlin promising counter measures to what it calls a threat to its security and national interests. crushes defense minister said it added to a patent of nato activity near russian territory since the crane invasion, russia, a gamer. of course, all these crates, risks of a significant escalation of the conflict, but it will not affect the outcome of the special military operation. senior bali, the war and ukraine also under discussion at night to on tuesday with talks on increasing member countries contributions and long term integration between nato and ukrainian forces. still short of the full membership ukraine is seeking. there is no better solution to insure in europe like

and denmark but also finland and sweden which are next to norway abroad would know even more if the, what are the russian divisions standing on this border, as finland has been standing for years, knowing this is of no importance at all, flight time, if we go exactly to the language of vladimir vladimirovich putin, the flight time of missiles he arrived in st. petersburg for a few seconds. if it is not minutes less than the flight time of missiles there to st. petersburg from helsinki, it does not change anything at all, because the question is not that they are afraid of nato. the question is that they are afraid that if we become members of nato they will not be able to capture us. this is what they are afraid of the russians. and what do you think that the russians believe in this? well, no, we have already talked with you many times about the fact that they know what is really happening. a nation that simply supports lies and does not want to. it has never done work on uh-uh mistakes , so they never took their crimes seriously . i recently saw a text again in the liberal russian
