Twenty-five of the 43 monkeys that escaped from a breeder in the southern United States less than a week ago have been captured, according to local police. Those still free stay nearby and talk loudly to those inside.
The monkeys, of the rhesus macaque species, are bred to be sold as laboratory animals in medical research. The 43, all females and about three kilos in weight, escaped when an attendant had left a door partially open.
The breeder says that everything must be done to bring them all back.

Chancellor Olaf Scholz and his German minority government are under heavy pressure from the ongoing government crisis.
The opposition wants to see a vote of no confidence as early as next week. The Social Democrat Scholz says in an interview on the German public service channel ARD that he is not opposed to an early vote.
He himself, however, would rather see a vote “before Christmas”.
– For me, it is not a problem, he says.
Last week, Scholz announced a vote in January, which drew strong criticism.
In the interview, Scholz opposes the idea that he wants to remain as the country’s leader at all costs.
– I don’t cling to my post, he says.
Scholz’s announcement about a vote of confidence in January came shortly after the news that Finance Minister Christian Lindner (liberal FDP) had been fired, in the middle of work on next year’s state budget.

In a new Al Jazeera documentary, Sweden is once again accused of kidnapping children.
Now Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson is speaking out about the documentary.
“Today, al-Jazeera is spreading a documentary about, among other things, the Swedish social services. The documentary risks contributing to the same misinformation as the LVU campaign. This is dangerous for Sweden and also risks seriously damaging the important work of the social services in helping the children who really getting sick and needing care” he writes in a post on X.
In the documentary, called “Behind closed doors”, the care of children in several countries is highlighted, which is allegedly done on incorrect grounds, and where Sweden is one of several countries that are singled out.
However, court proceedings and other documents that Aftonbladet has seen show a completely different picture than the one the parents paint for Al Jazeera.
The LVU campaign in which the social service was accused of kidnapping children who do not fare well is considered to have strengthened the threat image against Sweden and was, among other things, one of several reasons why the Security Police raised the terror level in the country.

Only 4 of Sweden’s 21 regions are currently connected to the mammography quality register – but more will join before the turn of the year, according to Ekot. Archive image. Photo: Christine Olsson/TT
Seventeen out of twenty-one regions are not connected to Sweden’s national quality register for mammography screening (NKM). It risks affecting research and knowledge about breast cancer, reports Ekot in Sveriges Radio.
– If we do not have national coverage, it will be difficult to draw reliable conclusions on a national level and difficult to systematically improve mammography operations, says Eric Arelöf, record keeper at NKM, to the radio.
Several regions plan to join the register before the turn of the year. By then, around half are estimated to be connected, according to Eric Arelöf.
Technical reasons must be a reason why the work to get regions connected to the register has been slow.
