Political leader spotted playing Pokémon Go during a parliamentary hearing (Photos)

A political leader in Norway has been caught playing Pokémon Go during a hearing on the long-term strategy of the country's military.

Trine Skei Grande, 46, is the political leader of the Liberals (Venstre), in Norway, and was spotted by viewers playing the game when the meeting of the parliament’s Foreign Affairs and Defence Committee was broadcast live.

Ms Grande was accused of caring more about the game than issues of national security, but during a break from the meeting, Ms Grande defended her actions saying she has a head that ‘listens better when she is doing brain dead’ activities. Saying it was helping her think.
