Verdict: Cementa’s lime mining is legal
The decision by former environment and climate minister Per Boluinds (MP) to grant a temporary exemption from the environmental code for Cementa’s lime quarrying in Slite on Gotland has been appealed by the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency, a number of environmental organizations and private individuals.
Today, the Supreme Administrative Court announces that the temporary permit for lime mining is not against the law, writes TT.
Cementa’s goal is to obtain a new long mining permit for 20-30 years. But as their previous application for this was rejected, a new application had to be made. While waiting for it, the company received a temporary exemption that allows mining for four years while the court process with the longer permit is ongoing.

Norwegian police warn motorists of snow chaos on the West Coast
Norwegian police stand on the Swedish side of the Svinesund Bridge and warn of snow chaos as a result of the snowfall that hit parts of western Sweden on Wednesday morning, reports Gothenburg Post.
The weather has had a major impact on traffic during Wednesday morning, with several traffic accidents.
An earlier collision, which occurred on the E45 between a passenger car and a car with a trailer, has created queues towards Gothenburg.
On national highway 40, a lorry driver has hit a motorist from behind.
– We have had quite a few accidents, about six. But it is difficult to say whether all of them are weather-related, says Thomas Fuxborg, press spokesperson at the police.
Commuters from Sweden are affected as it is also snowing in Norway.

China eases corona restrictions
The Chinese health authority is now easing the country’s strict corona restrictions, reports Reuters.
One of the differences will be that you change what is seen as a “high risk area”. With the new rules, for example, an apartment can be seen as a high-risk area instead of an entire block being closed off when someone gets sick.
According to Reuters, this is a sign that China’s leadership is slowly changing its approach to the disease and is preparing to return to a more normal everyday life.
The issue of quarantine rules has been re-debated in the country and caused widespread protests in recent weeks.

According to the police, it is a medical matter. They don’t want to say more than that.

Hey!
You cannot include everything in your text. In the documentary, it appears to be carbonated water in the glass. It could also be Sprite. But now I fall into speculation.
Pleasant evening!
