Denmark's tiny church celebrates community within 12 walls - one for each apostle
Copenhagen (Denmark): The latest addition to the Copenhagen skyline is a tall, 12-sided wooden building proudly bearing the sign 'Denmark's First Tiny Church.' The 76-square-metre construction was unveiled in the Nordhavn — 'North Harbor' — district on the outskirts of Copenhagen.
After months of construction, it's now an outpost of the local Evangelical-Lutheran Hans Egedes Church. The parish's leaders saw a need for extra spiritual space as the Danish capital is expected to grow by 20 per cent over the next decade. 'At the old days, you build a church, and the church will make a community, and then you build the city.
Today, it's the opposite,' project manager Johanne Dal-Lewkovitch said. 'You build the city, and then there's a need for a church. So it's a little bit strange.'

Who Is Jasbir Singh, YouTuber Arrested In Punjab For Spying For Pakistan
The Punjab Police have arrested YouTuber Jasbir Singh for his alleged involvement in a Pakistan-backed espionage network. Mr Singh, who runs the popular YouTube channel JaanMahal Video, was picked up by the State Special Operations Cell (SSOC) in Mohali on Wednesday following intelligence inputs. According to the police, Mr Singh was in direct contact with a Pakistani intelligence officer identified as Shakir, alias Jutt Randhawa, who is believed to be part of a terror-linked spy network operated by Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI). Investigators said Mr Singh passed on sensitive information about Indian security force movements. Who Is Jasbir Singh? Jasbir Singh is a 41-year-old YouTuber from Mahlan village in Ropar district, Punjab. He currently lives in Rupnagar, Punjab. His Facebook picture contains the tag, "I support farmers." He runs a popular YouTube channel called JaanMahal Video, which has over 1.1 million subscribers. His content mainly includes travel videos documenting his trips to countries like Malaysia, Maldives, Thailand and others. On Instagram, Jasbir Singh has close to 42,000 followers. His Instagram bio describes him as a food vlogger. His last Instagram post, uploaded two days ago, featured a video of his son celebrating Punjab Kings' win over Mumbai Indians in the IPL semi final. A cricket enthusiast, Mr Singh frequently attends matches at stadiums and appears to be involved with his local cricket club, as seen in several of his Instagram videos. Why Was Jasbir Singh Arrested? Punjab Director General of Police Gaurav Yadav confirmed that Mr Singh maintained ties with Jyoti Malhotra, a Haryana-based YouTuber, who was arrested on May 15 in a similar espionage case. Investigators accused Ms Malhotra of spying for Pakistan and reported her links to the same network. According to Punjab Police, Jasbir Singh visited Pakistan three times, around the same time Jyoti Malhotra travelled there. Mr Singh was arrested in Rupnagar, and forensic teams are currently examining multiple Pakistani phone numbers found on his devices. Authorities also revealed that Mr Singh attended the Pakistan National Day event at the Pakistani Embassy in Delhi, where Pakistan High Commission official Ehsan-ur-Rahim, alias Danish, invited him. Indian authorities later expelled Danish from the country.

Mohali (Punjab) [India], June 4 (ANI): A court in Mohali sent YouTuber Jasbir Singh, who has been found associated with a Pakistani espionage network, to 3-day Police custody on Wednesday, said State Special Operations Cell (SSOC) DSP Pawan Sharma. Jasbir Singh, who operates a YouTube channel called 'Jaan Mahal,' has been found associated with PIO Shakir alias Jutt Randhawa, part of a terror-backed espionage network. He also maintained close contact with Haryana-based YouTuber Jyoti Malhotra (arrested for spying) and Ehsan-ur-Rahim alias Danish, a Pakistani national and expelled Pak High Commission official. 'Singh, a resident of Village Mahlan, Rupnagar, who operates a YouTube channel called 'Jaan Mahal', has been found associated with PIO Shakir, alias Jutt Randhawa, part of a terror-backed espionage network,' DGP Punjab Police said.
