Benjamin Song, the man who shot and wounded a police officer during the attack on the Prairieland Detention Center in Texas on 4 July 2025, was on Tuesday sentenced to 100 years in prison.
Politicians and others have jumped on the bandwagon, rowing like Vikings in the Storting. Those of us who have always been proud of our Viking heritage watch this with some astonishment. Many have experienced condemnation and shock when expressing pride in our “Vikingness”. And how many politicians publicly voiced outrage when our cherished cultural treasure, Christian Krohg’s Leiv Eiriksson Discovering America, was relegated to the basement of the National Museum?
In this week’s update from Document News, we look at Britain’s political crisis, the Edinburgh machete attack and the wider struggle to speak honestly about extremism, immigration and public anger. We also discuss Norway’s World Cup momentum in the United States, demographic change at home, and the Iran deal, where oil, Hormuz and Hezbollah show how security and diplomacy are tied together.
