why did norway respect their rule but detest the rule by sweden? >> why did norway respect the rule by denmark but then came to reject rule by sweden? partly i think there's a major cultural shift that takes place with the rise of norwegian nationalism in the 19th century. i would say, when you think about it, a long period of time that norway was under danish rule. of course the role was in the hands of individual princes and kings, you served the lord who had mastery over the land that you worked or had authority over the district that you lived on by whatever, whatever ethnic background, which is the interest that you and no relevance to the question of loyalty here. but then in the 19 century or norwegians become aware that they are norwegians and that they are, in fact, distinct from danish, that norwegian is more than just a dialect of danish which was for a long time the assumption that scholars made about the norwegian language, but there was a distinct language of its own and one with an illustrious history to boot and an awareness in fact

well, some of that comes from this company in sweden, a company find almost $1 billion for bribery.rsi as a consultant. he earned big fees for helping them structure telecom deals in some notoriously corrupt countries. like uzbekistan. in 2007, telia worked with the daughter of the then president of uzbekistan. herfamily had a reputation for corruption. in order to gain access to the golden goose there was a gatekeeper and the gatekeeper was the eldest daughter of the president. she ran a racket in uzbekistan. organised crime racket. if you want to make a load of money you have to be a business partner. telia became her partner by giving shares to a shell company she secretly controlled. three years later telia bought most of the shares back for $220 million. the american authorities say this was a $220 million bribe. we have now obtained documents that show how mr amersi was involved in the deal. in one e—mail, the telia boss writes... and he is his invoice for his part in project uzbekistan. he got a success fee of $500,000 for his work. the problem that mr amersi faces is that he
