THREE NEWS YOU CAN’T MISS
At least 42 people have died after Hurricane Helene moved in over the southeastern United States, write NBC News.
More than four million people were still without power as of Friday morning local time.
When the storm made landfall at Big Bend in northern Florida, it was classified as a Category 4 hurricane – the most powerful storm ever to hit the area.
It was then graded down to second and then a first. But nevertheless managed to create enormous havoc.
In addition to Florida, the deaths have been reported in Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina.
Now Helene is moving north, and the concern is great for more catastrophic floods.

Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson considered an invasion of the Netherlands.
This is to seize vaccines against Covid-19.
Johnson writes in an autobiography to be published next month, reports The Telegraph.
The ex-prime minister is said to have consulted the armed forces if it would be possible to carry out a military operation against Leiden in the Netherlands and seize vaccines from a warehouse there.
Five million doses of vaccine were stored in the building. Doses that Johnson considered to be British, because they were developed in Britain.
However, he must have quickly realized that the plan was doomed to failure. He also admits in his autobiography that the idea of invading a NATO ally was “crazy”.
In the autobiography, he also reveals that he was close to dying from Covid in the pandemic.
The police were alerted this evening to an address in Andersberg in Halmstad where two injured people were.

The perpetrator or perpetrators have not been found at this time.
The incident is being investigated as attempted murder.

Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson is now commenting for the first time on Anna Kinberg Batra’s resignation.
“Anna Kinberg Batra has had an important role in Swedish state administration as governor of Stockholm. The authority and the manager who leads the authority must carry out their mission in a way that deserves the public’s trust.
The public has the right to make high demands on managers in the public administration and the public also has the right to expect action to be taken when mistakes have been made.
I have said it many times: Trust is one of the finest things we have in Swedish society. Trust must not be undermined.
After the decision that JO presented yesterday, it is clear that trust in the authority cannot be restored in any other way than for the County Administrative Board in Stockholm to get a new governor,” he writes in a text message to Aftonbladet.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warns Iran against striking Israel, in his speech before the UN General Assembly.
Many delegates left the hall when the Prime Minister spoke.
Netanyahu begins his speech by saying he “didn’t intend” to come this year because his country is “fighting for its life”. However, he chose to come to “bring clarity” to the “lies” that, according to him, have been spread about Israel.
He says Israel is now focusing on “surveying” terror-labeled Hamas’ “remaining combat capability” and repatriating remaining people taken hostage by Hamas.
Netanyahu also emphasizes that Hamas should have no role in the reconstruction of Gaza.
Three dogs ran loose and lunged at people in Barkarby in Stockholm on Friday afternoon.

Several patrols went to the scene. The police decided to take the dogs into custody.
Anna Kinberg Batra will be transferred to the government office as director with her salary maintained.

Minister of Civil Affairs Erik Slottner comments on the government’s decision to remove Anna Kinberg Batra as governor.
Did you force her to leave?
– Yes, you can say that, in the sense that the government has made the decision. But Anna Kindberg Batra had respect for the government’s decision, says Erik Slottner.
Of what she did, what was most serious?
– It is an overall assessment we make based on the report from JO. It showed such great flaws that it is difficult to restore the trust that has been damaged.
Now she will be moved to the government office as director, with the same salary.
The government has not yet decided what she should do.
– There is no agreement that applies to her specifically, this applies to heads of authorities. You get an appointment for a few years. I am absolutely sure that she will be able to be of great use elsewhere in the state.
