Fourth accuser testifies in Oslo rape case against crown princess's son

In Oslo, a fourth woman testified in the rape case against Marius Borg Hoiby, the son of Crown Princess Mette-Marit, who faces 38 charges including rapes while the women were asleep; he denies the rapes and faces up to 16 years in prison. The testimony describes a night of drinking, alleged cocaine use, and filmed acts, with the investigation uncovering multiple videos and other alleged offenses; the case has deeply embarrassed the royal family, though Hoiby is not a member of the Royal House.

"Floating Sauna Rescues Tesla Passengers from Oslo Fjord Crash"

A Tesla drove off an Oslo pier into the freezing fjord, but the occupants were rescued by a floating sauna as the car began to sink. The driver thought the car was in park when it accelerated off the pier. Both saunas and Teslas are popular in Norway, where over 80% of new cars sold in 2023 were electric. The country has offered subsidies for electric car purchases as it aims to eliminate gas car sales.

R21 Arkitekter designs Villa Solveien.

R21 Architects designed Villa Solveien, an intimate and robust family home in the Nordstrand district of Oslo. The project is situated on a steep terrain with large pine trees and a spectacular view of the Oslo fjord. The layout of rooms is based on conventional principles of a gradual transition between public and private areas. Structurally, the project consists of two main parts; the heavy, concrete base and the lighter wooden construction on top of it. The materials are determined by function and use, with the concrete construction consisting of two layers and the wooden construction surrounding the living areas above.

"Oslo, Norway Captured in Stunning Earth from Space Image by ESA"

The Copernicus Sentinel-2 mission has captured a false-color image of Oslo, Norway, showing the city surrounded by dense forest in bright red. The image also reveals the protected area of Oslomarka, which offers many hiking trails in summer and skiing tracks in winter. The inner Oslofjord is dotted with ferries and cargo vessels, while the Svelle and Øyeren lakes appear in tones of green and beige due to the presence of sediment in rivers draining into the lakes. The image was captured on 22 April 2023 using Copernicus Sentinel-2’s near-infrared channel.

Former Wagner Fighter Sentenced and Seeks Asylum in Norway

A Russian man claiming to be a deserter from the Kremlin-linked Wagner mercenary group was handed a 14-day suspended sentence for a street fight in central Oslo. The court acquitted him of the more serious charge of assaulting police officers. Medvedev claims to have fought in Ukraine as a member of Wagner for four months before deserting in November when the group allegedly extended his contract against his will. He has sought asylum in Norway but has been a headache for authorities since his arrival in mid-January.

Wagner Deserter Faces Trial for Oslo Street Brawl.

Andrei Medvedev, a Russian man claiming to be a deserter from the Kremlin-linked Wagner mercenary group, went on trial in Oslo for participating in a street fight, resisting arrest, and carrying an air gun. Medvedev, seeking asylum in Norway, denies assaulting officers and claims to have fought in Ukraine as a member of Wagner before deserting. He could be a valuable witness in shedding light on the group's reported brutality in Ukraine. Many questions remain about his past and escape, and some experts have said he could not have crossed the heavily guarded border without assistance.
