🛣️ Motorway

A car traveling the wrong way on the E6 near Eidsvoll left one person dead and another critically injured, while a patient was fatally stabbed in a separate incident. These events form a somber backdrop to a day also marked by investigations into a manor house fire in Kongsvinger and a deep-dive report into the small town of Vestfossen. The Oil Fund has lost over 1,100 billion kroner, while technology stock volatility has sent retail investors fleeing. While the fund’s managers use the downturn to buy, hundreds of workers facing layoffs are less positioned to find the silver lining. In Bergen, residents claim they can no longer stand to live in their neighborhoods because of a saturation of holiday rentals; one local landlord now owns nine entire apartment buildings. The revolving door between government and industry continues to turn as Henrik Pettersen Sunde, a senior Conservative Party advisor, prepares to lead communications for the grocery giant Norgesgruppen. He leaves behind a minority government currently navigating a Nordic diplomatic spat and the uncomfortable revelation that a chef was messaging about expired chicken just before the King’s funeral.
