Breaking news – ‘Orange is the new black’ actor dead

This winter, more people than usual are expected to light fires for heating due to the ongoing electricity crisis.

The authority for social protection and preparedness, MSB, is now warning that there may be more fires during the winter because many people do not know how to make a fire safely.

– We want to avoid unfamiliar people lighting fires in uncontrolled stoves, says Anders Lundberg, fire engineer at MSB to TT.

Every year, almost 800 fires start in stoves and fireplaces, a number that is expected to be significantly higher this year.

The Russian offensive against Bakhmut in eastern Ukraine has been going on for months, puzzling experts worldwide as the town’s strategic value is called into question.

Lieutenant Colonel Peter Lidén is surprised, but in an interview with TT he launches a theory about why Putin cannot back down from the attack.

Joe Biden and his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron showed unity towards Russia when the two presidents held a press conference in connection with the French state visit to Washington.

Biden said he has “no immediate plans” to contact Vladimir Putin, but that he is ready to talk about the Russian leader “looking for a way to end the war in Ukraine.”

However, Biden added that he had seen no such signs, writes CNN.

New York and Singapore are the world’s most expensive cities.

It reports BBC referring to the annual survey of the EIU, the Economist Intelligence Unit.

It is the first time that New York tops the list. Last year it was Tel Aviv which is now the third most expensive city. Los Angeles and San Francisco are also among the top ten, which is explained by the high inflation.

The average cost in the world’s largest cities has gone up by 8.1 percent. The reason is stated to be high inflation and the impact on supply chains due to the pandemic and China’s zero covid policy, the war in Ukraine and sanctions.

– That, combined with rising interest rates and exchange rate changes, has resulted in a cost of living crisis all over the world, says Upasana Dutt, responsible for the research.

Inflation was particularly high in Istanbul, where prices rose by 86 percent, Buenos Aires by 64 percent and Tehran by 57 percent.

Prices have been compared in 172 cities. According to Dutt, the average price increase has been higher than ever since the measurements started 20 years ago.

According to tradition, a giant tree now stands in Trafalgar Square in central London.

The tree is Norwegian and has been donated by Norway for the 75th year in a row, TT reports. It was cut outside Oslo and transported by boat over to Great Britain.

– This is an important tradition, which means a little extra this year. The tree symbolizes friendship, solidarity and cohesion, says Oslo’s mayor Marianne Borgen.

The tradition began in 1947 when Norway wanted to thank Great Britain for its support during the Second World War.

Anyone who wants to apply for the Coast Guard’s basic training must have studied to become a ship commander or engineer officer at university.

The requirement is now removed. It should instead be included in the basic education.

The Coast Guard writes on its website that the ability needs to be strengthened and that the increased pace of recruitment will lead to 150 new employees in the coming years.

– We at the Coast Guard make high demands on personal suitability with the ability to handle the exercise of authority. Investing in our future employees by offering a very attractive training package is an effective way to increase our ability, says Therese Mattsson, the Coast Guard’s director general.

Prosecutors are investigating suspected gross electoral fraud in Gothenburg during the elections in September, reports The Express.

At least ten students at a Los Angeles school are being treated for suspected “overdoses,” reports say ABC7.

The students are between 12 and 15 years old.

The circumstances were unclear and it is not yet known what the students should have suffered.

According to local authorities, it may have been some form of cannabis.

The emergency services in Los Angeles write on Twitter that they responded to a medical alarm during Thursday morning local time. According to the alarm, at least five people were affected. The number then increased rapidly.

At least six students have been taken to hospital, according to CBS News.

There is a fire at a school in Åtvidaberg.

The police and emergency services were called to the school just before 8pm on Thursday evening and there was heavy smoke at the scene.

– It is a building divided into two parts. An older part and a newer extension. There is a fire in the older part of the roof, says Niklas Nyrén, alarm and line operator at the Östra Götaland Rescue Service.

Around 30 firefighters are on site. The emergency services are currently focusing on preventing the spread to a newer part.

– We have a large crew on site and working on it, but it is always troublesome to access these types of fires, he says.

There are no reports of personal injuries. The police are on the scene to assist the emergency services and have drawn up a report of arson.

“As there are a lot of people moving in the area, the police will help the emergency services by blocking off the area so that the emergency services can work undisturbed,” the police write on their website.

The police in Sundsvall warn of a certain theft method using a newspaper trick. The public is now being asked to keep an eye out.

On Thursday, a man allegedly entered a salon in Sundsvall. He was carrying a couple of newspapers.

“With the help of the newspapers, he then allegedly hid the theft of a mobile phone. He then left the scene,” the police write on their website.

Now the police want the public’s observations and warn of thefts with a similar approach.

“If you have seen anything that may be related to the case, contact the police on 114 14 or leave a tip via police website. In the event of a crime in progress, call 112,” the police write.
