Norway’s government is considering building a high fence along the border with Russia, reports NRK.

They have been inspired by the 20-mile-long fence that Finland is putting up along parts of its 134-mile-long border in the east.

– Border fencing is very interesting, not only because it can act as a deterrent, but also because it contains sensors and technology that allows you to detect if people are moving close to the border, says Minister of Justice Emilie Enger Mehl (Sp) to NRK.

The border between Norway and Russia is close to 20 miles.

Finland has justified strengthened border surveillance and closed crossings as a necessary defense against Russian hybrid warfare, after large numbers of migrants appeared in the middle of winter – people believed to have been actively smuggled there from the Russian side.

Banks must be forced to notify the customer when a loan becomes more expensive.

It will be the consequence of the Financial Supervisory Authority’s new rules, reports SVT News.

When you take out a mortgage, you have to negotiate with your bank – the banks call it giving a discount.

But usually the discount only applies for one year – then it ticks away without the customer being notified.

That will change now. The Financial Supervisory Authority must force the banks to inform in good time that the discount is on its way out. The rules can be introduced within a year.

– Many mortgage customers think that financial services are boring and difficult and you don’t understand why you get a certain mortgage interest rate and not how long the discount that you negotiated is valid for. The banks need to do more here, says Moa Langemark at the Financial Supervisory Authority to SVT.

Around 20 patients have been treated for the disease.

– The infected and the deceased were mainly healthcare workers, says the country’s health minister Sabin Nsanzimana to local media.

He adds that efforts are underway to trace and test people who have been in contact with them.

Marburg is similar to Ebola and has a fatality rate of up to 88 percent. The course of the disease is rapid and sudden, with high fever, severe headache and nausea. At a later stage, the infected may begin to bleed in the skin and internal organs.

There are no approved cures or vaccines.

A rescue mission to bring home two astronauts stuck on the International Space Station ISS has been launched by Space X. However, the astronauts will not be allowed to return to Earth until next year.

The now-launched Space X craft has two empty seats for astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, and in order not to alter the schedule of other planned missions, they will not return home until the end of February.

The Boeing Starliner craft with which the two astronauts went up into space landed on Earth earlier in September, when Nasa judged that the journey home with it was too risky.
