US imposes sanctions against election fraud in Venezuela

The US Department of Justice is preparing an indictment after the cyber attack against the Trump campaign, sources told the AP and the Washington Post.

It is unclear which charges may be relevant, and it is also not clear who or whom they should be addressed to. But the indictment will be the result of an ongoing FBI investigation in which Iran, by several US authorities, has been singled out as responsible.

Iran has denied involvement.

Senegalese President Bassirou Diomaye Faye dissolves parliament and calls new elections.

The election will be held on November 17.

The parliament, which is now dissolved, is dominated by the opposition.

According to analyses, Faye’s Pastef party has a high chance of securing a majority, thanks to the president’s popularity and his winning margin in the presidential election.

Bassirou Diomaye Faye was elected president last spring and, at 44, he then became the country’s youngest president to date.

Tonight you can see the northern lights in several different places in Skåne.

Among other things in Mörarp outside Helsingborg.

At an intersection in Vallentuna this evening, a motorcyclist hit a pedestrian.

Both people were injured.

The MC driver, who is a man in his 20s, was taken to hospital by ambulance and the pedestrian, who is a woman in his 25s, was taken to hospital by ambulance helicopter.

The police wrote a report about negligence in traffic and causing bodily harm.

Japan has showcased its first catch of a herring whale – the world’s second largest animal after the blue whale. It is the first capture in almost 50 years of the vulnerable species.

In pictures from the whaling ship Kangei Maru, fishermen equipped with butcher knives pose with the nearly 20-meter-long carcass. The whale, which weighed at least 55 tons, was killed with a harpoon on August 1. Since then, four more herring whales have been caught and killed.

Japan is one of three countries in the world that allows commercial whaling. Earlier this year, the herring whale was added to the list of species that may be caught and killed for consumption. The others are minke whales, sej whales and Bryde’s fin whales.

The right whale is classified as vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), and the decision to allow hunting of the mammals has been met with criticism.

Japan ended its much-criticized whaling in Antarctic waters and in the rest of the southern hemisphere in 2019. In the same vein, however, commercial whaling resumed along the country’s own coast. In 2024, Japanese whaling companies are allowed to catch up to 376 whales, 59 of them herring whales.

Alongside Japan, Iceland and Norway also conduct commercial – and partly criticized – whaling.

Donald Trump will not appear in any new debate against Kamala Harris.

He writes that on Truth Social.

“When a boxer loses a match, ‘I want another match’ is the first thing he says. Opinion polls clearly show that I won the debate against Comrade Kamala Harris, the radical leftist candidate of the Democrats, on Tuesday night. She immediately called for a second debate,” writes Trump on the network.

A truck and a van have collided on county road 823 outside Götlunda in Örebro, the police write on their website.

The van caught fire and was badly burned.

It is currently unclear how many people are affected. But there must be at least one person in the truck and one in the minibus.

– We have searched the area and have not found any other people, says police spokesperson Lars Hedelin.

The damage is assessed as serious.

The public is advised to choose another route.

Green light for Ukraine to strike with advanced weapons against targets further into Russia would mean war with NATO, Vladimir Putin threatens.

– It would fundamentally change the conflict, says the Russian president.

Washington is debating whether Ukraine should be allowed to direct donated long-range weapons at targets deep inside Russia.

In London, a decision has already been made to let the Ukrainian military fire ballistic Storm Shadow robots at Russia, writes The Guardian.

Above all, Ukraine has requested to be allowed to use so-called Atacms robots to a greater extent, with a range of up to 30 miles.

– That would mean that the NATO countries, the United States and European countries, are at war with Russia, Putin says to Russian state television.

– If that happens, we will, taking into account the changed conflict, take appropriate measures based on the threats we face.

During the course of the war, the Russian president has repeatedly spoken of “red lines” for attacks against Russia.

US President Joe Biden and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer will meet in Washington on Friday.

On Thursday evening, the police were alerted to a fight in Lövgärdet in Gothenburg, GP reports.

– According to the caller, there were about ten people and someone must have been bloody. But there is no information that anything has been used, says police spokesperson August Brandt GP.

When the police arrived at the scene, the people had disappeared from the scene.

An effort is now underway to search for those involved, including by helicopter.

Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson (M) participates tonight in TV4’s “Malou meets” together with his daughter Signe.

Among other things, they talk about hate on social media in the program.

The prime minister’s daughter says that they talk quite a lot at home about hate and misery on the internet.

– I respect that everyone thinks differently, but it gets difficult when you get personal hate. It’s hard, says the prime minister’s daughter.

Ulf Kristersson addresses his daughter and fills in:

– My pappailska kicks in when you show real horrors on social media that are directed at you.

Two out of three police investigations that were launched after alarms about suspicious drone sightings over Arlanda have been closed, reports P4 Stockholm.

Already on Wednesday, the police were able to confirm that the observations in several cases concerned something other than drones.

According to the radio, some investigative measures remain in the investigation, which is still ongoing.

It was earlier this week that there were three evenings in a row alerted about suspicious drones over Arlanda. The incidents were investigated as violations of the Protection Act and the Aviation Act.

The police worked during Thursday evening in Ronna center in Södertälje after a suspected dangerous object was found.

– It was a police patrol that discovered this object, says Daniel Wikdahl, press spokesperson for the police in the Stockholm region.

A larger area was cordoned off and the National Bomb Squad was in place.

After the object had been examined, it was found to be harmless – and the restrictions were lifted.

A motorcycle and a minibus collided in Åsele at around 5pm on Thursday.

The MC driver has been taken to hospital by ambulance helicopter. Her injury status is unclear.

A large search effort was launched at Munksjön in Jönköping after a drowning alarm, which P4 Jönköping was the first to report on.

The alarm came in shortly after 5 p.m.

– Passers-by noticed an electric scooter and a bag on the pier and then two shoes floating in the water, says Johanna Månsson, line operator at the rescue service.

Divers searched the water and they also searched with drones and underwater sonars.

At 6:30 p.m., the search effort had ended without anyone being found.
