    Eighteen days before the fateful election in the United States, Donald Trump has overtaken his opponent Kamala Harris in all decisive swing states.

    The lead the Democrat had after the candidates’ only televised debate has been erased.

    – Summer has turned into autumn, the signs of a tailwind for Harris have ended, states opinion expert Jeff Horwitt for the television channel NBC.

    His colleague Bill McInturff believes that the development is due to Harris not being able to demonstrate clear differences between her and President Joe Biden’s leadership.

    Donald Trump has now overtaken Harris in all seven designated swing states, including Wisconsin where the vice president led until Friday. In all wave master states, however, it is very even and the difference is often within the margin of error.

    At the national level, the Democrats’ Kamala Harris currently has the support of 49.2 percent of Americans and the Republican Donald Trump’s 47.7 percent, according to the politics site.

  • Drove under the influence of nitrous oxide – convicted of aggravated drunken driving

    During the drive towards Malmö, the 19-year-old driver and his passenger inhaled nitrous oxide. It ended up that he pulled over and crashed the car at high speed. Now he is sentenced for aggravated drunken driving, which is unique according to the Motormen’s Helnykterhetsförbund (MHF).

    – In the few verdicts that exist, the prosecution has been rejected or it has been seen as drunken driving beyond the normal range, says MHF CEO Tomas Jonsson to Sydsvenskan.

    According to the law, you can be convicted of drunk driving if you are so affected by alcohol or “other substance” that you cannot drive your vehicle in a safe manner.

    But the police lack instruments to measure the influence of nitrous oxide – which means that few people who drove under the influence of nitrous oxide could be convicted of drunken driving. In this case, the driver himself said that the consumption of nitrous oxide affected the driving, states the judge in the case.

    The 19-year-old is sentenced to probation and 40 hours of community service. No one was seriously injured in the accident.

    But later in the night it was stated that no one should have been in the building.

    The alarm about the fire came at 01:15.

  • Iran: “Sinwar’s death increases the will to fight”

    The will to fight and resistance will be strengthened as a result of Israel’s killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, Iran’s UN delegation in New York claims in a statement on X.

    “As long as the occupation and violence continue, the resistance continues, because the martyr lives and inspires”.
