British-American influencer Andrew Tate is being held under house arrest in Romania for another 30 days, Norska Dagbladet reports. This is stated in a judgment from a Romanian court.

Andrew Tate, his brother and two Romanian women were charged earlier this week with human trafficking and rape. The four are also charged with, among other things, illegal computer intrusion, threats of violence and assault. All deny the accusations.

In Sweden, Andrew Tate became widely known last winter when he got into a Twitter fight with climate activist Greta Thunberg.

He has been called a “men’s rights activist” and “provocateur” and produces content in various social media with messages that are often misogynistic.

Eight Danish citizens have been rescued in the Pacific Ocean after their sailboat capsized, TT reports.

The sailboat had collided with one or two whales. For two days the sailors had to huddle together in a rescue raft before they could be rescued by a fishing boat.

Via a satellite phone, one of the sailors contacted his father in Denmark, who in turn contacted the maritime rescue in Honolulu.

A stop on the sale of both new and old cars with engines over 1,900 cubic centimeters is part of the EU’s eleventh sanctions package against Russia.

All the capitals have now said yes.

The package was preliminarily approved by the EU countries’ ambassadors on Wednesday, but was definitely nailed down on Midsummer Eve.

Above all, the eleventh package includes a threat to take measures against companies or countries that are used to circumvent the many export and import bans that the EU has imposed on Russia.

Vessels used in this context must also be able to be refused access to EU ports.

– I saw a large black column of smoke and alerted the emergency services, says the witness.

The person who discovered the piles alerted the police and emergency services, who went to the scene.

Divers from the rescue service have removed the piles.

The incident is being investigated as causing danger to others because the piles could have injured people bathing at the jetty.

The police also want to get in touch with people who may know more about the case. If you have tips or have made observations, you are asked to call 114 14.

The EU countries’ eleventh sanctions package against Russia for the war in Ukraine is now completely clear, after approval from all capitals.

“Today’s package increases the pressure on Russia and Putin’s war machine. By targeting circumvention of the sanctions, we maximize the pressure by depriving Russia of the resources it so desperately needs,” writes the EU’s foreign affairs chief Josep Borrell in a press release.

Above all, the eleventh package includes a threat to take measures against companies or countries that are used to circumvent the many export and import bans that the EU has imposed on Russia. Vessels used in this context must also be able to be refused access to EU ports.

More people and companies, including five more Russian media companies, are also being punished for their actions.

In total, there are now well over 1,000 people on the list of those who are to be refused entry visas and have their possible assets in the EU frozen.
