Norway's government has collapsed over the decision to allow an ISIS bride to return to the country from Syria with her children. The populist Progress Party pulled out of Norway's coalition government today after the mother was permitted repatriation so that her gravely ill five-year-old son could receive medical treatment. Prime Minister Solberg said she 'understood' why the Progress Party wanted to leave her coalition government, adding she would seek cooperation with the party - which is Norway's third-largest. To stay in office until then and pass legislation in the 169-seat parliament, Solberg needs the support of parties outside the government, including the Progress Party. Solberg has been prime minister of the Scandinavian country since 2013 when she formed a coalition with the Progress Party.
