A beluga whale suspected of being trained as a spy by Russia has been found dead off the Norwegian coast. The body of the animal, nicknamed Hvaldimir, was found floating off the south-western town of Risavika and taken to the nearest port for examination. The whale was first spotted in Norwegian waters five years ago with a GoPro camera attached to a harness that read 'Equipment of St Petersburg'. Âé¶¹Éç reporter Charlie Jones explains how the alleged 'spy' was first discovered, and how it's not the only animal that's been accused of being trained in this way.
