The European Union is providing funding for human behaviour-watch programmes in the war against terror, sparking fears that the EU community itself will foster suspicion.

In a move that surprised just about everyone in Norway’s government, the Justice Ministry announced suddenly that it wants all travellers to and from Svalbard to pass through passport control. The unpopularity of this move by the Justice Ministry could be felt as far south as Oslo, where officials in the Foreign Ministry as well as police from Tromso responded that it’s unnecessary to require passport checks on people entering the Arctic archipelago.

Karsten Klepsvik of the Foreign Ministry told Norwegian Broadcasting (NRK): “Our main point is the simple fact that Svalbard is part of the Kingdom of Norway. It’s not desirable that people should have to show their passport when they travel within the country.” Read the full story

Norwegian member of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), Geirhard Heiberg, says Chinese security guards are scaring visitors with their stony faces.

“They look like they have faces of stone. They’re scaring the visitors. Something needs to done,” Aftenposten reports Heiberg as saying.

Heiberg says the IOC is very satisfied with Beijing’s volunteer security guards and marshals: “They are helpful and smiling. The police and military, on the other hand, need to act differently. They have stony faces. They’re seriously scaring the foreigners in Beijing. Something has to done. The fact that they’re armed and look sinister, just makes things worse. That’s why I’ve talked to China’s political authorities and the Olympics organizers at our daily meetings. I’ve asked them to get people to smile more,” says Heiberg.

The Chinese games are costing more than the last three Olympics put together – a fact which is worrying the organisers of London 2012 and prospective hosts for the 2016 games. “We can’t have an Olympics on the cheap, but we have to keep costs at a level where other nations can afford to host the Games,” Heiberg says.

As the IOC’s Marketing Manager, Heiberg, 69 is currently starting his days with high level meetings, then having three or four lunches and a further three or four dinners before finally getting to bed around 3am. After Beijing the busy former athlete’s attention will turn straight to London.
