    Chinese President Xi Jinping did not know that a Chinese spy balloon had blown off course and into the United States, according to US President Joe Biden.

    The context was that Biden talked about Xi being upset that he shot down a Chinese spy balloon, according to Bloomberg.

    – That’s what is the big pain for dictators, when they don’t know what happened. It wasn’t meant to get there, it blew off course.

    Too long waiting times on 114 14

    The response times on 114 14 are far too long. This is shown by an investigation by the Judicial Ombudsman (JO), who is now directing criticism at the Police Authority, TT reports.

    The risk is that fewer and fewer trust the police and neglect to report crimes.

    JO’s investigation into the availability of 11414 began in February. The investigation showed that it is difficult to arrive and that the average waiting time in the Stockholm police region amounted to over 100 minutes during the second half of 2022 and the beginning of 2023.

    Organ donors more than ever

    More and more organs from deceased people have been donated in Sweden in recent years. Last year, 206 people became organ donors in the country, which is the highest number recorded so far, according to a report from the National Board of Health and Welfare, which was presented this week, TT writes.

    However, the need for organs and tissues is still greater than the supply. The need for kidneys is greatest. In 2022, 465 kidneys were transplanted, of which 99 were from living donors.

  • KI: The recession will be short-lived

    Sweden is entering a recession that will remain for the next year, the Norwegian Economic Institute states in a new report.

    But despite that, the labor market will do relatively well.

    “It will only be seen to a small extent on the labor market and unemployment will increase significantly less than during previous recessions,” writes KI in a press release.

    They also write that “the recession is judged to be relatively short-lived and is primarily visible through the companies’ productivity being lower than normal”.

    At the same time, the GDP forecast is being raised. The Swedish economy is expected to shrink by 0.4 percent this year and recover by 1.4 percent next year. In the KI forecast from March, their forecast was minus 0.6 percent this year and growth of 1.3 percent in 2024.
