Norway's Spy Town/BBC World News/Extended Version

The wife of a Norwegian pensioner convicted of espionage in Russia has told the BBC that she blames her country’s intelligence service for putting him at risk, and called on the government to do everything in its power to bring him home. Frode Berg has admitted to delivering ‘envelopes’ to a Russian source on behalf of Norwegian military intelligence. He’s now serving 14 years in a Russian prison. Norway’s Foreign Ministry has called the case ‘demanding’ but says it wishes to see Mr Berg return home. Sarah Rainsford reports from the town of Kirkenes, right on the border with Russia.
