A disturbing claim has surfaced from an ambulance trainee who alleges she was pressured by her superior to perform resuscitation on a corpse that was several days old. This highly unusual incident has drawn significant attention to workplace ethics and training in emergency services.
In other domestic news, Norway's economy is reportedly at a significant turning point, according to an analysis associated with Jens Stoltenberg, Minister of Finance. The Norwegian krone has reached its strongest position since 2022, though technology shares, which now constitute a quarter of the Oil Fund, have seen recent declines. Separately, new figures indicate that nearly half of police cases were dropped in 2025, a sharp decrease in the clearance rate.
Marius Borg Høiby, stepson of King Haakon VIII, appeared in Oslo District Court today with new lawyers and witnesses, seeking release and to avoid electronic monitoring. He holds no royal titles or official duties. Meanwhile, the price of the weight-loss drug Wegovy has been reduced, and new measures are being proposed to make it easier for the Police Security Service (PST) to apprehend spies in Norway.
