A life-threatening injury after a fire in Finspång

On Monday morning, a truck collided with a car on the E6 in Gothenburg, at the height of Kållered, writes GP.

The collision must have occurred in the northbound direction.

Just minutes later there was another accident on the E6 in Lindome, northbound.

– It is difficult to get around for at least another hour, says Joakim Hallin, alarm and line operator at the Greater Gothenburg Rescue Service, to the newspaper just before 07:00.

The Philippines has received a confirmed case of mpox, the first since December, reports Reuters.

But it is still unclear if it is the new clade 1 subtype, which the country’s health ministry is now investigating.

“We are waiting for the test results and will provide an update when it is available,” said Albert Domingo, spokesperson for the Department of Health.

The 33-year-old male patient is said not to have traveled outside the Philippines.

Anyone who wants to see a really beautiful moon should look up at the sky this evening. This is when the first supermoon of the year occurs.

The moon is then experienced as both larger and as shining brighter than usual. This is because it is extra close to the Earth.

The difference between a micromoon, at its farthest, and the supermoon is about 14 percent in size. It also shines about 30 percent brighter.

This time the moon will be 361,969 kilometers from Earth. Normally, the moon is 356,500 kilometers from Earth when it is closest, and 406,700 kilometers when it is farthest.

But it’s not the only supermoon this year. The next time will be September 18, followed by October 17 when it will be the closest this year. The last time will be November 15, at approximately the same distance as now.

They have grown strongly in recent years worldwide and have also gained ground in Sweden.

Now there are new alarms about toxic substances in products from the Chinese shopping sites Temu and Shein.

The Chemicals Inspectorate regularly carries out supervisory projects that include actors in e-commerce. During inspections of Shein products in 2023 and 2022, some have passed completely without remark, while in others substances above the limits that are allowed were found, including various phthalates but also traces of lead.

Too high levels of phthalates and also cadmium have also been found in products from Temu.

– We can only inform you that there are probably risks with shopping from here, says Daniel Ahlström at the Chemicals Inspectorate.

Ships from China and the Philippines have “collided” in a disputed area in the South China Sea on the night of Monday, the Chinese coast guard claims.

From Beijing’s side, it is said that a Philippine ship “deliberately collided” with a Chinese one. The Philippine government, for its part, says two of its coast guard ships were damaged as a result of Chinese ships carrying out “illegal and aggressive maneuvers” near a reef.

China claims large parts of the South China Sea, but the Philippines, Brunei, Malaysia, Taiwan and Vietnam also believe they have rights to parts of the waters. Military markings and provocations are recurring in waters in the area.

Residents must be out of the house.

On Sunday evening, the emergency services received several calls about the smell of smoke in Stockholm.

It came from a fire in two train carriages in Västberga.

– They contain packed paper and it is difficult to put out. We are trying water, said Thomas Skantz at the rescue service.

The alarm came from a passerby at 10:21 p.m. The fire was extinguished by 01:30.

– It is depressed. Now we are left with a smaller force and keep an eye on it so it doesn’t happen again, said Thomas Skantz.

The smoke spread with the wind and the rescue service received many calls from Södermalm and Kungsholmen.

146-year-old skulls that were retrieved in a grave desecration for racial biological purposes were returned to the earth in Pajala on Sunday, the Church of Sweden announces.

In 1878, 23 skulls were exhumed from the Akamella desert cemetery outside Muodoslompolo in Pajala. These were graves of Tornedal, Kven, Lanthalais and Sami individuals, whose remains were then to be used for racial biological research in Helsinki.

This is the first time that remains from the Meänkie speaking population have been returned.

Ukraine has been advancing in Russia’s Kursk region for just over two weeks.

Now the country’s President Zelenskyi reveals the goal of the offensive.

– We want to destroy as much as possible of the Russian war potential. It creates a buffer zone on the enemy’s territory, he says according to VG.

During the night of Sunday, the police on Gotland were alerted about a car and a crazy ride in connection with an event.

– A man had taken his car and driven through the gates to the event. He continued into plastic furniture, tables and chairs, says Niklas Berglund, officer on duty at the police.

The incident occurred just before 1 a.m.

According to P4 Gotland it all took place at the Sudret Truckmeet in Fardhem on southern Gotland. Around 1,200 people are said to have been on site during the weekend.

– There has been an upset atmosphere and a mess on site. People were in the vicinity of where the car was driving.

No one was injured during the crazy ride.

– The man who drove the car is a plaintiff in a case connected to this. He must have been the victim of vandalism, but I don’t know if it was before or after he drove into the event, says Niklas Berglund.

The man is suspected of serious assault and damage.

– The investigation must show who did what, in what order and possibly intent, he says.

A woman in her 90s has been the victim of fraud, the police announce.

A person has sneaked into the woman’s apartment by stating that he was going to check the water in the home.

Several perpetrators have resorted to money and jewellery.

It is the second scam today in which 90-year-old women have been deceived by a man who pretends to “control the water” in the home.
