Alarm about a gunman in Stockholm

Donald Trump criticizes Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi.

During his campaign speech in Mint Hill, North Carolina, the presidential candidate claims that Zelensky refuses to agree to a peace plan with Russia.

– Those cities are gone. They are gone and we continue to give billions of dollars to a man who refuses to agree to a peace plan. Your country has been wiped out and cannot be rebuilt, says Trump according to CNN.

He also criticizes US President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris for the duo’s support for Ukraine.

– A peace agreement could have been drawn up if we had had a competent president – instead of a president who instigated everything, says Trump.

Iraq executed at least 21 prisoners on Wednesday, most convicted of “terrorism” and being active in IS. This is stated by security sources for the news agency AFP.

All the detainees were said to have been Iraqi nationals, and all but one were men.

It is the largest mass execution to be reported from Iraq in many years.

Last December, 13 prisoners were executed in what UN experts said was the largest mass execution in Iraq since 2020, when 20 prisoners were executed on the same day.

Iraqi courts have handed down hundreds of death sentences and life sentences in recent years in cases where the accused were accused of “terrorism”.

The remains of 42 people who fought against the apartheid regime in South Africa, and who died in exile in neighboring Zimbabwe and Zambia, were repatriated on Wednesday. Government representatives were present at Waterkloof airbase when the remains were taken to South Africa.

The measure, and subsequent ceremonies, are part of the government’s efforts to try to create closure for the families and relatives of the dead. Many of those who fought for the armed liberation movements ANC and PAC took refuge in neighboring countries.

The movements had military training camps in the countries, but several of those who sought asylum fled the persecution of the apartheid regime.

On Friday, President Cyril Ramaphosa of the ANC party is expected to host an official ceremony before the remains are buried.

South Africa is negotiating to return remains with the governments of Lesotho, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Angola and Russia, among others.

During the evening, a fire started in a carport in Staffanstorp municipality.

The fire has since spread to a villa.

A Secret Service agent is suspected of sexually assaulting one of Kamala Harris’ associates in the presidential election campaign, writes CNBC.

The agent is accused of forcing himself on the woman in her hotel room after dining and drinking with her and several other campaign staffers during a work visit in Wisconsin.

A Secret Service spokesperson told CNBC that it is “investigating an allegation of misconduct involving an employee.”

The agent has been removed from duty pending the investigation.

The Left Party in Gothenburg has decided to temporarily suspend Kristofer Lundberg, as chairman of V’s party association in Angered. It reports GP.

The reason must be that the party believes that he has not followed the party line and that he appears in an ongoing criminal investigation.

The criminal investigation started in connection with a tumult breaking out between Lundberg and social debater Joakim Lamotte, and both accused each other of assault.

The investigation against Lamotte was later closed.

Aftonbladet is looking for Kristofer Lundberg.

Ukraine’s president warns of a nuclear disaster in Ukraine as he opens his speech to the UN General Assembly.

– That must never happen, says Zelensky.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy began his appearance at the UN General Assembly by talking about the morning when he was informed that Russian forces had fired shots at the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant.

– We in Ukraine all remember the disaster in Chernobyl, says Zelensky.

– Therefore, the fourth point (in a peace plan) is about safety for nuclear power plants, he says during the ongoing debate with heads of state and government.

He notes that Russia is targeting civilian energy structures in Ukraine, which leaves “our residents in the dark and cold”.

But Zelenskyy has already spoken out on several occasions about the Russian invasion war in Ukraine. The direction has been clear: Russia must be forced to a peace, according to Zelensky.
