  • Incurable coral disease spreads along Thailand

    During the past year, the incurable coral disease yellow band disease (YBD) has spread along the Thai east coast, writes TT. The corals turn yellow and are destroyed.

    – I’ve never seen anything like this before, says marine biologist Lalita Putchim, who works to examine coral reefs.

    Overfishing, pollution and higher water temperatures as a result of climate change are believed by the researchers to be some of the reasons why coral reefs are more vulnerable and susceptible to the disease.

    There is no known cure. Once the corals are hit, they have no chance to recover.

  • Ukraine: 400 Russian soldiers dead after robot attack

    Around 400 Russian soldiers have been killed in connection with a robot attack in the Donetsk region over the weekend, Ukraine says, BBC writes.

    The number of dead could not be verified – the occupation government confirms damage but not to the extent reported by Ukraine.

    The school building in Makijivka was fired upon with the American artillery system a few minutes after midnight on New Year’s Eve, according to a Telegram post from representatives of the forces of the occupying power, writes TT.

  • One to hospital after fire

    The fire is out, but one person has been taken to hospital with unclear injuries.

  • Cruise passengers stranded after microbial alert

    Hundreds of passengers aboard the cruise ship Viking Orion are stranded off the coast of Australia, TT reports.

    The vessel has been docked in international waters pending cleanup from potentially harmful microorganisms found on the hull.

    The cruiser left Wellington New Zealand on 26 December and was due to make several stops along the way, but has thus been stopped from disembarking.

    One passenger told the BBC that anger was rising on board and on Twitter, another traveler called the journey “the journey from hell”.

  • Multi-family house on fire in Nödinge

    The rescue service is on site with eight units in Nödinge, two miles from Gothenburg, reports Gothenburg Post.

    There are no reports of personal injuries.

  • Woman found dead – one arrested

    One person has been arrested after a woman was found dead in Skövde on Sunday.

    – There has been an arrest since last night, says Magnus Karlsson, head of the police department for serious crimes in Skövde.

    The police do not want to go into more detail about what kind of person it is or what connection it has to the woman.

    Several interrogations have been held and the police cannot rule out crime at the moment.

    The woman was found dead outside by passers-by.

    – We go through interrogations that have been held and hold interrogations that need to be held. We are analyzing the other information we have and are awaiting the forensic autopsy, says Magnus Karlsson.

  • Biggest wolf hunt in modern times

    A total of 75 wolves may be shot in Dalarnas, Gävleborg, Värmland, Västmanlands and Örebro counties, TT writes.

    The goal for the government is to halve the number of wolves – despite that lacks scientific support, reports SVT Nyheter.

    The wolf is protected and may therefore only be hunted under strictly controlled conditions, the purpose of the hunt is to regulate the number of wolves and prevent damage to domestic animals and reindeer.

    The hunt continues until February 15 at the latest, or until the County Administrative Board itself cancels the hunt.

  • Boy stuck in 35 meter deep hole in Vietnam

    It was two days ago that the boy fell into the 25 centimeter wide concrete pipe.

    – We try our best. We cannot determine the boy’s condition yet, a rescue worker told the AFP news agency.

    It only took one day before the government’s tax cut on fuel was eaten up by new price increases, writes TT.

    On Monday, the supermarkets will raise the petrol price by 30 öre to 19.65 kroner a litre, while diesel will be raised by 60 öre to 24.21 kroner.

    At the turn of the year, the combined tax effect, reduced fuel tax in combination with index adjustments, meant that the petrol price was reduced by 14 öre, while diesel became 41 öre cheaper.

  • Death toll rises after floods

    The Christmas weekend floods in the Philippines have so far caused 51 confirmed deaths, according to the country’s emergency authority, writes TT.

  • The Swedish Agricultural Agency’s cat register opens – e-service overloaded

    From January 2, all cats must start being registered with the Swedish Agency for Agriculture. But on Monday morning, the authority reports disturbances in the e-service.

    “The e-service is currently overloaded and it may therefore be difficult to register your cat,” writes the Swedish Agency for Agriculture on its website.

    – We initially expect a high pressure on our e-service, but at the same time fully understand that not everyone will register their cats immediately. We see it as a long-term effort to get all cats into the register, says Anders Elfström, head of department at the Swedish Agricultural Agency, in a press release.

    The new law on mandatory marking and registration of cats should make it easier to find stray cats.

    It can also raise the status of the cat as a pet.
