Huge news from Norway today.
The government has collapsed after the populist party is withdrawing their support.
This comes after the prime minister took home a woman who has been with ISIS for years.
This was something the populist were strongly against.

Norwegian government facing collapse after party quits coalition over 'ISIS member' repatriation
Norway's government has lost its majority after the right-wing Progress Party announced it was quitting the coalition over the repatriation of a suspected member of the Islamic State.
Siv Jensen, the country's finance minister and leader of the exiting party, said on Monday there had been "too many compromises" as she explained the reasons for resigning.
She added: "I brought us into government, and I’m now bringing the party out. I am doing this because it's the only right thing to do."
According to Norwegian broadcaster NRK, the populist party leader said she also had "no desire to change the prime minister."
"We believe Solberg is the right person to lead the country, including in the time to come," she said.
Prime Minister Erna Solberg has in response said she will continue to lead the now-minority government, and is now tasked with filling six vacant roles.
