Latest news – Scooter has overturned: “Serious accident”

A cargo ship has dropped sawn timber in the sea off Härnösand, reports The newspaper Ångermanland.

There is a gale warning in the bottom bay and on Saturday the ship ended up in the middle of the storm.

The Norwegian-owned ship Oslo Carrier 2 is 106 meters long and 18 meters wide. It was on its way from Bollstrabruk to Alexandria in Egypt.

When the ship ended up in the wind, the idea was that it would enter an emergency port in Sundsvall, but the plans were changed, the newspaper writes.

The ship passed Sundsvall and has now docked just south in Norrvikssand without being in distress.

No people have been injured. It is currently unclear how much timber has fallen into the sea.

At 21:08 on Saturday evening, the emergency services, police and ambulance were called to an apartment in Kristianstad due to a fire in an apartment.

– There was a fire in a kitchen. We have been on site and extinguished the fire, says Thomas Nordin at the rescue service.

He states that a person who was in the apartment complex was taken care of by paramedics.

The extent of the damage is still unclear.

South Sudan President Salva Kiir, 71, attended an event in December and when the national anthem was played, he allegedly peed in his gray pants, reports Reuters.

The event was photographed and filmed but never televised. But the material has been spread on social media and now six journalists are accused of involvement.

“They are suspected of knowing how the videos of the president urinating on himself got out and were spread,” Patrick Oyet, president of the journalists’ union in South Sudan, told Reuters.

The government has repeatedly denied reports of the president’s failing health.

– This is similar to previous incidents where security personnel detain suspects whenever it suits them, says Muthoki Mumo, of the Committee to Protect Journalists.

Emergency services, police and healthcare have been alerted to a burning apartment in Rågsved in Stockholm.

– A fire has started in the hall and kitchen. It is still burning and we are carrying out extinguishing work, says Hans Eriksson who is a command operator at the Rescue Service.

At the scene, an injured man was found who was taken to hospital by ambulance.

– It is unclear how the subject is doing.

The police have cordoned off an area around the fire-stricken house. But according to Hans Eriksson, there is no risk of the fire spreading in the house.

It is still unclear how the fire started.

At 21.30 the police announced that the fire had been extinguished.

The police have arrested a suspected robber in the subway in Stockholm.

The man is in his 20s and is suspected of having robbed a man at Gärdet and he is said to have displayed a gun-like object. The police were later able to arrest the man on board a subway train and he was carrying stolen goods and a dummy gun.

The man also turned out to be a suspect and wanted for another robbery.

Author Ulla-Maria Andersson has died after a long battle with cancer, aged 67.

She made her debut at the age of 58 with the autobiographical novel “You would have said it as it was.” After that, she wrote three more novels for Norstedt’s publisher, which comments on her early death:

“Ulla-Maria Andersson was open about her illness, the cancer that affected her, just as she was about everything in her life. For her, openness was part of healing inherited wounds. All secrets must come to light, only then can they stop being full of shame. Only then can you live without fear, as yourself. Her writing also bears witness to that.”

Last night the villagers in Junsele heard the church bells ring – for over three hours.

“Sorry! Due to a programming error, the church bells rang Junsele for several hours last night. Thanks to the wise intervention of residents in Junsele, they finally quieted down. We apologize profusely to those of you who have been disturbed and especially to those of you who have become worried and scared,” writes the Church of Sweden in Sollefteå on its Facebook.

The bells should actually have rung on New Year’s Eve, but it didn’t. At 03:00 last night, the cantor woke up and saw that she had received a text message from a villager who wondered what was going on. Then she heard the bells herself and went to church. At 03.35 she was there and turned off the clocks, writes The newspaper Ångermanland.

– There was an error in the programming. The New Year’s celebration had ended up on the wrong day. There was no ringing on New Year’s Eve, but it rang last night instead, says caretaker Margareta Bohman, to the newspaper.
