"Pointing a camera at Russia from here is absolutely forbidden. You can point it along Russia, beside Russia and in front of Russia - but not at Russia."
Magnus Magnusson reports from Kirkenes, the 'Land's End' of Norway, on the border with the Soviet Union.
"About 1,000 yards away, there's a Russian guard post, which has a pair of binoculars permanently mounted and manned, which is glaring right at us at this moment. Which is a little disconcerting."
"On my right-hand side, there's a Norwegian guard post that also has a pair of mounted binoculars, but I understand that they're not very good binoculars."
Just across the Norwegian-Russian frontier, the Russian village of Boris Gleb is to be promoted as a tourist destination and the Soviet government plan to relax the current entry restrictions for visiting foreigners.
Scandinavians are already allowed entry to the region, and Magnusson, an Icelandic passport holder, crosses the border into Russia leaving the British film crew behind.
