Neo-nazi clothing 'abuses' Norway's flag

The Norwegian flag

Norwegian authorities are trying to stop the improper use of the Norwegian flag by a German clothing company that caters to neo-Nazis.
The clothing line is called "Thor Steinar," and it features the Norwegian flag, runic lettering and Norwegian names. The clothing is popular within neo-Nazi circles, and opponents say that's because Norwegian symbols are viewed as being "Aryan and Germanic."

Symbol of friendship

The 60th annual Christmas gift of a massive Norwegian spruce for London's Trafalgar Square is on the way, and this year's ceremony aims to guarantee the tradition endures.
Schoolchildren attending the felling ceremony rush to count the rings and check the age of this year's tree.
The three is one hundred years old and 26 meters (85.3 feet) high.
The annual Christmas tree for downtown London is Oslo's tribute to the help extended to Norway by the English during the Second World War. This is the 60th time a Norwegian spruce will grace the city.
