The man, who was born in Russia, was suspected of having photographed protective objects in the form of telemasters in Stockholm and Sundsvall.
– He means that he took the pictures out of interest for the surroundings, more like a tourist, and then the protective objects got stuck on film, says prosecutor Anders Persson to SVT.
As there were also film clips of surroundings without protective objects, the man’s version is corroborated. But because he was carrying two knives when he was arrested at the end of June in Karlskoga, the man is still in custody.
– It is a possession of a knife that can be assessed as serious, says Anders Persson.

According to leaked information from the CIA, several local military leaders within Hamas are appealing to leader Yahya Sinwar to accept a ceasefire in Gaza.

If more civilians die in Israeli attacks in Lebanon, the Shia militia Hezbollah will attack new targets inside Israel, says the leader of Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah.
According to Lebanon’s state news agency, five people, including three children, were killed in Israeli attacks on Tuesday. Lebanon responded by firing Katyusha rockets across the border into Israel.
Israel and Hezbollah have been shelling each other almost daily since the Gaza war began as a result of the terror-labeled Hamas attack on Israel last October.
Warnings about the escalated mode are coming in. In June, Nasrallah gave an exasperated speech in which he said, among other things:
– Let the enemy know once again that if a full-scale war is declared against Lebanon, we will fight it without restrictions.

What can be read about the snus crisis
B Andersson69
How is it that it is more important to focus on England’s anger, frustration and bitterness than to rejoice with Spain’s European Championship gold, I silently wonder as I “swipe” through your news, along with all the other negative things that can happen or have happened?
Is there really nothing positive that is worth reporting on, but it is the negative quagmire that sells the most “clicks” and must therefore be the front of your headlines !!? Do you have no ethics of consequence in the thought behind your “putting in the running” because you can make the most beautiful day bad if you highlight the bad – as you do!!
Peter Anderson
Oops said Peter, you’re not really setting a good example as a positive now. But of course we have written both about Spain’s joy and England’s sadness, that is nothing strange at all.
But you should get some help to find the news about Spain:
Here you can read the winning article about Spain’s EC gold.
Here you can read Erik Niva’s column about Spain or “The new millennium’s top football nation”.
Here you can read about Spain’s Nico Williams and how he did this for his parents.
Here you can watch when Makoto Asahara lists the European Championship’s best players, including several from Spain (and none from England).
Why is the plastic cap now attached to e.g. milk and juice packaging? New law since 1 July this year.
Annoying from a serving point of view and also makes it more difficult to separate the cork for recycling. Another extra step that makes it more difficult for the consumer to contribute to recycling!
alive
It might sound a little strange, but the idea is that the new rules should reduce plastic waste in Europe – including on the beaches where corks and caps account for a large part of the litter.
Tips on this video with a trick on how to handle the new cork.
