Suspected serious assault – young man to hospital
A man in his 20s went to the emergency room in Gävle with injuries caused by some kind of sharp object during the night of Saturday.
– It was the staff at the emergency room who alerted us. We don’t really know much about what happened, says Magnus Jansson Klarin, press spokesperson at the police.
He states that the police suspect that the man has connections to the “criminal environment”.
– At the moment, there is no suspect. What we believe is that the assault took place outdoors by a person the 20-year-old had known from before, says Magnus Jansson Klarin.

Martin Kinnunen, the Sweden Democrats’ environmental and climate policy spokesperson, does not believe that a government crisis is waiting around the corner. Kinnunen states that when he visits Ekot’s Saturday interview.
At the same time, he downplays party colleague Oscar Sjöstedt’s suggestion that the reduction obligation should be zero from 2024.
– I don’t think it was prepared but more spontaneous. It is always the case that if the Sweden Democrats and the cooperation parties do not agree on important issues, there can be problems, says Kinnunen to the radio.
Kinnunen says that the parties have not yet negotiated the details of the reduction obligation and that the goal is for the parties to agree on the issue.

Sex buyers were sentenced to non-existent sentences
A 35-year-old man in Örebro was sentenced last week for buying sex to a sentence that no longer exists, reports Echo.
In November, the man was caught red-handed by the police when he bought sex from a Romanian woman in a parking garage. For the crime he was sentenced to 50 daily fines.
The problem is that the offense of fine for buying sex was removed on the first of August 2022. Despite that, the district court in Örebro chose to judge according to the prosecutor’s request.
Now the prosecutor states to the radio that it was too fast when he pleaded for the crime. The prosecutor also says that he will probably appeal the sentence and ask for a more severe sentence in the Court of Appeal.
The district court has chosen not to comment on the verdict.

This weekend, the asteroid 2023 DZ2 will pass between the Earth and the Moon. It was discovered just over a month ago and has been classified as a “city killer” due to its size of between 40 and 90 meters in diameter, writes the BBC.
However, Earth’s inhabitants can exhale.
The celestial body passes at a distance of 6,800 miles. It is unusually close for such a large object and allows it to be seen with binoculars or a telescope.
Astronomers will study DZ2 closely during the passage.

French President Emmanuel Macron was questioned on television on Wednesday about the increased retirement age that led to widespread protests. In the middle of the interview, he lowered his hands under the table and took off his luxury watch. When he raised his hands again, it was no longer there, writes the BBC.
According to Macron’s staff, he took off the watch because it rang when it touched the table, but political opponents criticize him for political tone-deafness.
– The president of the rich has never made a big case for the name, said Farida Amrani from the left-wing party La France Insoumise.

Leaks at nuclear power plants in the United States
American Xcel Energy has begun shutting down a nuclear power plant in Minnesota, after it leaked radioactive water for the second time in a short time.
In November, 1.5 million liters of water with the hydrogen isotope tritium leaked. The company thought the leak had been fixed, but discovered this week that hundreds more liters had leaked out.
The pipe in question is more than 50 years old and must be repaired when the nuclear power plant has cooled down.

Saw that there were 2 copper thieves in Värmdö, is there a special brand they are after, have warned my old mother who saves on copper to hide both cups and dishes so don’t open to anyone she doesn’t know
Bengt
Hi Bengt! We also initially thought about what kind of copper it could be that the thieves tried to steal – but it was the metal copper, and not copper that you drink from, that the thieves were targeting in this case.
