Pictures of the Gävlebock burning were fake

Trump wants to scrap accident reports from driverless Teslas

Trump plans to scrap a rule that forces companies that sell driverless cars to submit reports on accidents the cars have been involved in, writes Reuters.

The rule change would primarily benefit Elon Musk’s company Tesla, which accounts for a majority of the reports, about 1,500 so far.

Tesla has according to Reuters been involved in 40 out of 45 fatal accidents with driverless cars in the US.

The reports have led to the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) starting three investigations.

Elon Musk supported Donald Trump’s election campaign with approximately three billion kroner.

Increased risk of impeachment for Yoon

South Korean President Yoon Suk-Yeol survived parliament’s first vote to impeach him, but on Saturday it’s time for another. Now his prospects are clearly worse.

He quickly had to back down from the decision, but the defense minister has resigned and the police have opened an investigation into Yoon on suspicion of attempted rebellion.

Moldova in emergency situation before Russian gas stop

Moldova’s parliament has approved a 60-day state of emergency.

The decision is taken ahead of an expected cut in Russian gas to the power plant that supplies the majority of the country’s electricity.

The former Soviet republic cut off gas supplies from Russia after Moscow’s large-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022 – but remains dependent on a gas-fired power plant in the Kremlin-loyal breakaway region of Transnistria.

The electricity supply from there is now under threat since Ukraine announced that the country will not renew the contract to transport Russian gas to Europe, which expires at the turn of the year.

Trump wants to end daylight saving time

Donald Trump wants the US to stop changing the clock to daylight saving time.

Setting the clock forward in the spring and back in the fall has long been questioned in various groups in the United States.

Daylight saving time was introduced for the first time in the country in 1942.

However, not in all states. In Arizona and Hawaii you don’t change the clock.

But now Donald Trump wants to end daylight saving time. And he gets the support of several.
