Today's Video Focus: A Norwegian pensioner convicted of spying in Moscow says he was wrong to
trust an intelligence officer who recruited him to pass on payment for
secrets about Russia’s atomic submarine fleet.
Frode Berg has just returned home after complex negotiations led him
being included in a spy swap between Russia and Lithuania.
His arrest and conviction for espionage has caused controversy in
Norway, where many criticise the Nato country’s use of a civilian in
risky intelligence operations - especially when tensions between the
West and Russia are so high.
