Two yellow weather warnings have been issued over northern Sweden on Monday.

Something that can lead to both traffic accidents and delays in bus and air traffic.
Norra Laplandfjället also looks set to be hit by very strong winds and snow flurries during Monday afternoon.
– There has been some snow and it is windy in the mountains. That means the potential for some avalanches, says SMHI’s meteorologist Lars Knutsson to TT.

Financier Christer Gardell called the Swedish krona “a small shit currency” in an interview with TT this Christmas.
After that, the euro issue became more heated than in a long time and in the media you could read arguments for and arguments against.
– The crown makes the Swedes poor, said, among others, the euro advocate Gunnar Hökmark, chairman of the think tank Frivärld and former M politician, to Aftonbladet.
– This is similar to the NATO issue. When reality catches up with Sweden, when we realize how alone we are, I think we will introduce the euro for stability and security, continued Hökmark.
But that is not relevant – right now.
In an interview with Dagens industri says Sweden’s Finance Minister Elisabeth Svantesson:
– It is not on the table to prepare for the euro, no.
The Turkey Boot: Trying to kick us under the table
The Turkish government again criticizes Sweden for allowing Koran burnings during demonstrations, writes TT.
Defense Minister Hulusi Akar believes that the NATO agreement is not being followed.
– Because they do not follow the memorandum, heinous attacks are being carried out against Turkey, the president of Turkey – a NATO member since 71 years – and against the Holy Koran, a symbol of faith for billions of people, Hulusi Akar said on Sunday according to Hürriyet.
– What kind of logic is that? What kind of legislation is that?
He says Turkey has been angered by “insidious behavior”.
– That is what Europe has done to us: they are trying to kick us under the table.

The emergency services in Östergötland responded to a series of alarms on Sunday.

Have there been many accidents?
– God, yes. There have been any number of departures.
E22 was closed in both directions after a car drove into the guardrail outside Norrköping.
Traffic is now moving again, but the queues are long.
– It has been wedged into the wire railing. There are two people affected, but they are unharmed, says Peder Helmer.
Now the emergency services call for caution in traffic.
– Keep your distance to those in front and do not drive in the overtaking lane on E4. Take it easy, says Peder Helmer.
Argument over electric scooter – bus driver assaulted
The police were alerted to an assault on a city bus in Malmö shortly before 3 p.m.
According to the police, a bus driver must have been beaten by several people.

There is no information on the state of the damage. But according to the police, no ambulance has been called.
Car has overturned in ditch – one to hospital
A single vehicle accident has occurred on a county road outside Horred in the municipality of Marks.

According to the rescue service, it must have been slippery at the scene.
Concerns about criminal gangs in the north
The police fear that the wave of violence in Stockholm will spread further north, reports SVT Västerbotten.
According to the police, there are already connections between criminals in Umeå and networks in Sundsvall and Stockholm. At the same time, the police work actively to stop crime from taking hold.
– It is both individuals and criminal activities that move towards Umeå, it is something we follow closely, says Olle Andersson, head of the investigation section at the police in the North region.
It is also suspected that Skellefteå is of interest to the networks.
– We know which individuals have a will and a capacity to develop their criminality and keep track of it, says Olle Andersson.

Do you know what Annie Lööf will do now and will she receive any severance pay?
Monica
In an interview with DN in December, Annie Lööf said that she wants to continue working with social change, perhaps in equality, diversity or green transition. But first she will take it easy for a few weeks and be with her family.
Politicians do not receive severance pay. However, the Riksdag has a special income guarantee after a member resigns or is dismissed. It lasts up to 15 years.
The Stockholm Stock Exchange went up by over 4% today, but not a word written about this by AB?
