Karlshamnsverket goes into staff mode
The electricity system in Sweden is under pressure and on Monday a price shock awaits customers. A central reason is that Oskarshamn 3 and Ringhals 4 are closed. Ringhals 3 has gone at half speed.
The loss of planned energy production causes the oil-powered Karlshamnsverket to go into standby mode, reports TT.
As of Monday morning, the plant must be able to start production at two hours’ notice if necessary to cover the need for electricity in the south.

The police appoints a special investigator after the revelations
The police appoint a special investigator after revelations about the police leadership.
– The authority has implemented a number of measures in the cases that have been the subject of the media’s review, says national police chief Anders Thornberg.
Aftonbladet has reported, among other things that the then head of Noa, Mats Löfving, was thoroughly investigated after he hired Linda Staaf as Noa’s head of intelligence. This must have been done after they had a relationship, according to information.
According to Expressen should she have got the job despite her lack of experience.
Runar Viksten, who leads the investigation, is to conduct a “complete review of the Police Authority’s actions in relation to current rules and procedures”, the police write on their website.
He will start his work “as soon as possible”. By April 28 at the latest, he must report what has been arrived at.
Dangerous cow killed on E6
At around 1 p.m., the police were alerted about a cow that ran loose in the bus lane on the E6 in Gothenburg.
Now it has been euthanized, reports Gothenburg Post.
– The cow ran around on the road and was a major traffic nuisance. That it was euthanized was up to the owner, perhaps it could not be captured in a good way, says police spokesperson Peter Adlersson to GP.
Radioactive waste was thrown in the garbage – again
The University of Bergen threw a bag of radioactive waste in the garbage, reports The daily newspaper.
The incident occurred in October at the Department of Biomedicine at the University of Bergen. Until recently, it was not known for sure what had happened to the waste.
It is now suspected that the radioactive remains were burned up.
“Our hypothesis is that the waste container with radioactive waste has been emptied together with the residual waste,” the institute writes in a report that Dagbladet has had access to.
The report has been sent to the Norwegian Directorate for Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety.
– We take this very seriously, says head of department Frode Steingrimsen Berven to the newspaper.
Two and a half years ago, a similar incident occurred at the university.
Jomshof (SD): Ban the veil in the police
The chairman of the justice committee Richard Jomshof (SD) wants to introduce a veil ban in the police, reports The Express.
– The whole point of having a uniform in the police or the military is that it should be uniform – i.e. uniform. If you allow religious or political markers, it is no longer a uniform because then it is not uniform, says Jomshof to the newspaper.
He now hopes that the government, together with SD, will agree and get a bill passed.
– Maybe the time is now ripe for that kind of discussion. I think so, that it should be.
He also does not rule out that a headscarf ban could eventually apply to all public employees.
Man suspected of the Lockerbie attack arrested
The Libyan man Abu Agila Masud, who is suspected of being behind the Lockerbie attack, has been arrested in the United States, the BBC reports.
This according to relatives of those who were killed in the attack.
– The families of those who died in the Lockerbie bombing have been informed that the suspect Abu Agila Masud is in American custody, says a spokesperson for British authorities.
It was on December 21, 1988 that Pan Am 103, on its way from London to New York, was blown up over Lockerbie. 270 people died.
Already two years ago, the US claimed that Masud played a key role in the bombing. Last month, reports surfaced that he had been kidnapped in Libya, sparking speculation that he would be extradited to the United States.
He is now accused of making the bomb that blew up the plane.
Outdoor rape – no one caught
The police have received a report of a rape outdoors in Södertälje.
The report was made last night.
The police have cordoned off the crime scene and searched the area using, among other things, two special search dogs in search of tracks.
No one has been arrested so far.
Price shock on Monday – electricity prices are soaring
Tomorrow the electricity price will skyrocket.
According to preliminary figures from the electricity exchange Nordpool, one kilowatt hour will cost the following:
Electrical area 1: SEK 3.15
Electrical area 2: SEK 3.15
Electrical area 3: SEK 4.54
Electrical area 4: SEK 4.56
This week’s weather forecast also points to falling temperatures – with the risk of even higher prices.
– What makes it extreme now is Oskarshamn 3 is gone now at the same time as Ringhals 4 is gone all winter, says electricity price expert Måns Skytt.
The price you pay as a customer also includes taxes, VAT and network charges.

A man in his 40s is being held on probable cause on suspicion of murdering a small child in Eslöv.
– Just before lunch last Friday, the police were ordered to an apartment in Eslöv. A lifeless child is found there, who is later pronounced dead in hospital, says prosecutor Josefin Sävlund.
The man who is now in custody was arrested in the apartment.
The child and the man have had a relationship, according to Josefin Sävlund.
– We will turn over every stone to map what has happened. We will hold a large number of interrogations and carry out technical forensic examinations, she continues.
The suspect denies the charge of murder.

The answer from Kosovo to Serbia: “Will defend us”

On Friday, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic announced that he wants to send military and police to Kosovo.
Now Kosovo is responding to the threats.
“We do not seek conflict but dialogue and peace. But let me be clear: The Republic of Kosovo will defend itself – forcefully and decisively,” writes Prime Minister Albin Kurti on Twitter.
But – to start a Serbian military and police operation in Kosovo, approval is required from the commander of the NATO force KFOR. President Vucic has no “illusions” that he will get it.
– We will request from the commander of KFOR to send army and police from Serbia to Kosovo and Metohija, he announced at Friday’s press conference.
The resolution adopted by the UN Security Council in 1999 gives Serbia – with the approval of NATO – the right to send up to 1,000 military, police or customs officials to Kosovo to defend religious sites, areas with a Serbian minority and border crossings.
In the northern parts of Kosovo, which are dominated by Kosovo Serbs, four local elections have been postponed following unrest.

In addition to those who died, four people were injured, two of whom are said to be seriously injured.
The perpetrator is said to have been arrested.
Man identified – suspected murder
The man who was found dead north of Stockholm on Saturday has been identified.
According to the police, it is a man aged 25-30 who died.
– We arrived at an apartment where he was found dead. Patrols on site could not rule out crime, says Per Fahlström, spokesperson for the Stockholm Police.
A technical examination has been carried out and the man’s next of kin have been informed.
– We have started a preliminary investigation into murder to carry out investigation measures to find out how the person died, continues Per Fahlström.
At the moment, no one is a suspect.
