    A crane over 60 meters high has tipped over a shopping mall in Trøndelag in Norway on Friday morning.

    The accident is believed to have occurred due to strong winds.

    – There is a crane there in connection with a construction activity. It is probably the wind that has taken it. It’s a crane that has tipped over a shopping center called Melhustorget, says operations manager Ebbe Kimo VG.

    Parts of the building’s roof have collapsed and the mall is being evacuated.

    One person is said to be receiving treatment, according to Norwegian media.

    One person is also said to be missing after the accident and a major rescue operation is underway.

  • Most glaciers about to melt away

    Two-thirds of the Earth’s glaciers are expected to have melted away by the year 2100 if warming continues as it is today.

    This is reported by TT and refers to a study published in the journal Science.

    If the world reduces warming by a few tenths of a degree, just under half of the glaciers will disappear, according to the study.

    – For many small glaciers, it is too late. But globally, our results clearly show that every degree of global temperature plays a role in keeping as much ice as possible in the glaciers, says Regine Hock of the University of Oslo and the University of Alaska Fairbanks, one of the authors.

    In a scenario described in the study, 83 percent of the glaciers could disappear in the next 77 years.

    SMHI has issued several yellow weather warnings for Friday.

    In Västra Götaland, Värmland, parts of Jämtland, Skåne and Blekinge and on Öland, a yellow warning applies for snowfall and strong winds.

    A yellow warning for snowfall applies in eastern Götaland and in Örebro.

    SMHI warns of traffic problems due to, among other things, poor visibility and snow drifts.

    – It will be tricky in several different ways, said Sofia Söderberg, meteorologist at SMHI yesterday.

  • Patients cannot be discharged

    Many patients who have been treated completely cannot be discharged from the hospitals, reports say P4 Gothenburg.

    The reason is that there is no space in short-term accommodation or continuing care plans, and many patients take up places in the hospitals unnecessarily.

    The situation worsens the already pressured situation in many hospitals in the country, where many patients seek help for covid, influenza and other viral diseases.

    – All hospitals are having the same tough time, in the entire Västra Götaland region and in the whole of Sweden. The situation is actually just as bad everywhere, says Maria Taranger, spokesperson for Sahlgrenska University Hospital in Gothenburg.

    It is The Guardian that reports that the man allegedly shot his five children, his mother-in-law and his wife. Two weeks before the crime took place, the man’s wife is said to have filed for divorce.

    Mayor Geoffrey Chesnut says investigators are aware of the divorce filing but it’s unclear if that was the motive behind the killings, according to the newspaper.
