Erdogan in talks with Putin – wants increased trade
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said during a telephone conversation with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin that he wants to increase trade between the countries.
“President Erdogan announced that he aims to increase cooperation between Turkey and Russia in a number of areas,” the Turkish presidential office said in a statement, adding that it wants to increase trade volume.
After condemning Russia’s large-scale invasion of Ukraine, Turkey has since taken a neutral stance in the war. The country has not imposed sanctions against Russia similar to those imposed by the West.
Erdogan has justified the stance with the fact that the country is dependent on Russian oil and gas.
Last fall, the United States imposed sanctions on five Turkish companies for supplying products and services to Russian defense companies.

Paddler got stuck – had to be amputated in the middle of the river
A 69-year-old man has had to have his leg amputated after he got stuck between boulders during a paddling trip in Australia.
The man, a tourist from Lithuania, was white-water rafting in Tasmania’s Franklin River when his leg suddenly got stuck in a crevice in a particularly dangerous part of the river.
He managed to alert the authorities, but the remoteness of the site and the rapidity of the rapids complicated the rescue effort.
After 20 hours of fruitless attempts, the decision was made to amputate his leg, in the middle of the roaring rapids.
“This rescue was an extremely challenging and technical operation,” police spokesman Doug Oosterloo said in a statement.
After the amputation, the man was flown to hospital. His condition remains critical, the police say.

Vote on Eurovision: Yes to financial support
Today, Switzerland has a referendum on whether the state should pay guarantees to the Eurovision Song Contest.
The first result shows that the support for paying out money to Eurovision is large, reports the newspaper Blick.
66.4 percent want financial support to be given.
If the proposal is voted through, all sub-competitions and the entire event will continue as usual.
The Christian right-wing party in the country, EDU, raised the issue for a vote. They accuse the competition of showing “satanic”, “occult” and “anti-Semitic” content.
Swiss Nemo won last year’s competition in Malmö. The idea is that the event will be held in Basel next year.
Norwegian shot dead in Mexico

The driver, who has been questioned by police, said the car was stopped by two people traveling on a motorcycle. One of them is said to have then fired shots at the car.
The perpetrators are still at large

The fate of Eurovision is decided in a referendum
Will it be the usual Eurovision circus rolling into Basel next year? Or a heavily slimmed down version? Today, a referendum will decide which.
Swiss Nemo won the Eurovision Song Contest in Malmö in May and the idea is that next year’s competition will be held in Basel.
The canton has clubbed financial guarantees of 37.5 million Swiss francs, corresponding to roughly 450 million Swedish kronor.
But Switzerland has a system of direct democracy and the Christian right-wing party EDU has called for a referendum to stop the financial support.
If there is a no to the financial support, the arrangement must be reduced considerably. Instead of a ten-day festival, there will be a single telecast on Saturday night and no side activities. The organizers also assess that the two semi-finals that wash out the final entries would have to be scrapped in order to manage the economy.

Boy died at Skara sommerland – bathers blocked an ambulance
A ten-year-old boy drowned at Skara sommerland in August. When the rescue operation began at the bathhouse, people stood in the way of ambulance personnel and filmed the incident, reports say SVT West.
The boy was taken to hospital, but his life could not be saved. A preliminary investigation into causing the death of another was started, but was later dropped.
In the closed preliminary investigation, paramedics talk about how difficult it was at the scene – because of all the bathers who were filming.
– We drove with blue lights and sirens inside the park when people didn’t move, this to be able to get there, says an ambulance driver in questioning.
