    The theory: The fire started on New Year’s Eve

    The authorities in Los Angeles are currently investigating how the fires in the city started.

    On New Year’s Eve, emergency services were called to an area northeast of Pacific Palisades.

    Then a fire had broken out after revelers set off fireworks at midnight. It took firefighters about four hours to extinguish that fire.

    At 4:46 a.m. on New Year’s Day morning, it was reported that the fire was out.

    According to several documents The Washington Post took notice it appears that the great fire that later destroyed Pacific Palisades started in the same area.

    Two experts do not rule out that it was the fire from New Year’s Eve that once again took off.

  • Kristersson on Musk’s move: Understands the reactions

    Kristersson on Musk’s move: Understands the reactions

    X owner Elon Musk has criticized several European leaders in recent weeks.

    Among other things, he has said that British Prime Minister Keir Starmer “should be jailed”. He also campaigns for the right-wing nationalist party AFD, which he says is “the only thing that can save Germany”.

    – He uses working methods and expressions that most of us would not use, at least in relation to other countries, says Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson in SVT’s Agenda.

    – I have some understanding of the harsh reactions he has received in some countries.

    Germany’s Olaf Scholz, France’s Emmanuel Macron and Norway’s Jonas Gahr Støre are some of the leaders who strongly reacted and said that it is worrying that Musk gets involved in other countries’ politics.

    Kristersson is more restrained in his criticism, and believes that Musk has the right to express his opinions.

    – But everything that is legal is not suitable. I don’t think it should be done that way. We have a tradition of respecting the internal politics of other countries.

    Oil tankers in the Baltic Sea towed to safety

    The oil tanker that began drifting in the Baltic Sea north of the German island of Rügen on Friday has now been towed to safety, according to German authorities.

    The 274 meter long tanker Eventin is now held in position with the help of two tugboats near the port of Sassnitz on Rügen.

    The tanker was towed there on Sunday morning. It will be held there until a decision has been made on how to proceed, says Benedikt Spangardt, spokesperson for the German authority responsible for major emergencies at sea.

    Eventin’s cargo contains almost 100,000 tonnes of oil.

    The Panama-flagged vessel had loaded the oil in the Russian Baltic port of Ust-Luga before setting out to sea on January 6 with Egypt as its destination, but suffered maneuvering problems along the way.

    According to German media, the tanker is on the environmental organization Greenpeace’s list of ships in the Russian shadow fleet that is intended to circumvent international sanctions.
