Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has driven up the price of fertilizer. Then Japanese farmers have started using human poo to fertilize their fields, writes TT.
At a facility in the northern Japanese city of Tome, sales of human fertilizer have increased by 160 percent in one year. For the first time since the company started producing the fertilizer alternative in 2010, it has sold out.
Human poo costs a tenth as much as imported fertilizer alternatives.
– It is also good for the environment, says the facility’s CEO Toshiaki Kato to TT.

It was in April this year that a man was dissatisfied with his purchase of the potency drug Viagra on the black market. He decided to complain to the seller.
They met again and it ended with a knife fight in central Kristinehamn where the seller was the one who suffered the most injuries.
The Viagra buyer was charged with serious assault, but the case has now been settled in court, reports say New Wermlands-Tidningen.
Värmland district court rejects the prosecution against the buyer because it has not been proven how the seller got his injuries.
However, the Viagra buyer is sentenced to one month in prison for minor drug offences.

The Christian Democrats’ Ebba Busch dedicated the opening of her speech in Almedalen to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the increased security threat.
The Minister of Energy and Food was at her most passionate when she made it clear that support for Ukraine will continue and that the relationship with Putin’s Russia can never be repaired:
– That Sweden would return to a normal situation with Russia is not relevant as long as Putin’s regime remains in power.
– Russia’s prospects for influence in Sweden must be zero.
In her speech, Ebba Busch also reiterated the importance of building new nuclear power and that she wants to renovate welfare. She asked the Almedal audience for applause for all of Sweden’s entrepreneurs, spoke seriously about the deadly violence and “ethical mother tongue” and commented with a wink on her waving a sausage in the election campaign:
– Someone should get stim money for that falu sausage considering how many times it has been shown in the last year.
10 years in prison – that’s the sentence for three young men accused of attempted murder of another man. They pushed and kicked their victim, and then stomped on the man’s head until he suffered life-threatening injuries and almost died, TT reports.
The incident occurred in Malmö last fall, and is said to have taken place in an open street. The three convicted men, who deny the crime, are brothers.

How’s the flight strike going?
Helen
Earlier today, the Transport Workers’ Union and Almega agreed on a new collective agreement. So the strike is thus called off.
You have an article with ad links: “Smart machines that exterminate mosquitoes”.
Have an article proposal, could you perhaps send a journalist to one of the most mosquito-rich areas in Sweden, with these products, and see which ones actually work?

Can you report how the mother and the son are doing who hopped off the ferry yesterday and are at Kalmar Hospital?

Yes, we will of course monitor that. As soon as we know something new, we will report it here.
Incidentally, it is the hospital in Karlskrona that they were taken to, as far as we know.
