The payment of the electricity subsidy must be scrutinized more closely
There are only a few weeks left before the second electricity subsidy to consumers begins to be paid out in Sweden.
It is about an electricity subsidy of a total of ten billion.
The payment of the previous electricity subsidy of just over 17 billion has met with a lot of criticism – in this round the payments will therefore be scrutinized more closely, reports Echo.
Several consumers share electricity contracts between their private households and businesses. This in turn led to the first electricity subsidy going to quite a few entrepreneurs.
But now Försäkringskassan can demand information about how electricity consumption looked, according to Ekot.
Consumers thus only receive compensation for the private household’s electricity.
Study: No increased risk of menstrual disorders from covid vaccine
There have been several reports of women who have suffered menstrual disturbances after the covid vaccine.
The reports prompted the European Medicines Agency EMA’s Committee on the Safety of Medicines to recommend adding heavy menstrual bleeding as a possible side effect last fall.
It concerned the mRNA vaccine Comirnaty (Pfizer/Biontech) and Spikevax (Moderna).
But a new Swedish study, published in the journal BMJ, now shows that women who have been vaccinated against covid-19 have not seen a doctor because of menstrual disorders more often than others, TT reports.
Data from Swedish registers, covering just over three million women, has been examined by researchers from the Medical Products Agency and the University of Gothenburg.
Women may have had symptoms, but not so serious that they needed to see a doctor, writes TT.
The EMA also reported in June that it was not possible to establish a connection between mRNA vaccines and menstrual disorders.
Over a thousand honor crimes are reported annually
Several thousand crimes are suspected of having an honor motive in recent years, police statistics show, reports TT.
In autumn 2019, the police introduced a special badge of honor in their investigative systems. In total, over 1,000 cases a year are estimated to be honor-related.
In 2020, 1,299 crimes were marked as honour-related, in 2021 it increased to 1,393 and last year the corresponding figure was 1,540, writes TT.
Eight dead in Serbian mass shooting
At least eight people are said to have been killed and ten people are said to have been injured when a man opened fire with an automatic weapon late Thursday near Mladenovac, about 60 kilometers south of Serbia’s capital Belgrade, local media reports according to AFP.
The shooter is said to have fired his weapon from a moving vehicle, states the state television station RTS.
The perpetrator has not been caught and a police hunt is underway for him.
The mass shooting in Mladenovac comes a day after a teenager shot dead eight classmates and a security guard at a school in Belgrade. (TT)
Ukraine shot down its own drone
Ukraine reportedly shot down one of its own unmanned drones after it “lost control” over Kiev on Thursday, according to the Ukrainian Air Force, AFP news agency reports.
According to the air force, the incident occurred around 8 pm local time. The drone, a Bayraktar or TB2 as it is also known, lost control while flying over the Kiev region. The drone is said to have been destroyed.
The cause is “probably” a technical error, according to the air force. (TT)
Tough on Wall Street
The leading stock indexes on Wall Street moved lower on Thursday as a result of renewed concerns about the stability of the country’s banking system.
This is reported by TT.
The S&P 500 index fell 0.7 percent, the Dow Jones retreated 0.9 percent and the Nasdaq lost 0.5 percent.
PacWest Bancorp fell 50.6 percent in Thursday’s trading. The bank has been under intense pressure from investors recently after two US banks collapsed in March, while a third was recently taken over by authorities.
Another bank, Western Alliance Bancorp, plunged 38.5 percent after reports in the Financial Times that the bank’s management was considering selling the business.
Person tied up and robbed in his home
At 18:00 on Thursday evening, the police were called to a residence in Johannelund in Linköping.
Perpetrators allegedly forced their way into an apartment, tied up the man who lived there and forced things with threats of violence. Among other things, a mobile phone and “personal belongings required for bank transactions”, according to the police.
The perpetrators then left their victim tied and locked in the apartment.
The man is said to have finally been able to break free and call for help from the balcony.
The police have cordoned off the home and started a preliminary investigation into aggravated robbery.
No one has yet been arrested.
Traces of the first stars found
For the first time, astronomers have found traces of the first stars that exploded in the universe. The great find is based on chemical remains in extremely distant gas clouds, writes TT.
The stars that formed 13.5 billion years ago contained only hydrogen and helium.
When they exploded as supernovae, the surrounding gas was enriched with heavier elements.
From this enriched gas, later generations of stars were born, which in turn scattered heavier elements around them as they perished.
Thanks to the European Southern Observatory’s (Eso) giant telescope VLT in Chile, astronomers have indirectly succeeded in linking elements to the primordial stars.
The Russian threat – if NATO is on Finnish soil
Since Finland became a member of NATO, the issue of a military base in the country has been discussed, but there is still no proposal.
Now the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs is warning that Russia may resort to “military-technical countermeasures” if NATO uses Finnish territory. This is reported by the state-run Russian news agency Paw.
– We follow NATO’s plans for Finland very carefully. We confirm that Russia is forced to take countermeasures of both a military and other nature if there is a threat to our national security, says Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zacharova, according to Tass.

Isn’t it strange that subsistence requirements for labor immigrants are higher than what a university-educated nurse has in Sweden?
Jennifer
Hi Jennifer! Where do you find that number? The average salary is in any case a bit over 30,000 kroner for people between 18 and 24 years old from what I can see Statistics Sweden’s website.

What are the rules now with loose dogs?
Saw on my walk a dog running around in a paddock and a bird flying around and screaming. It probably has young or eggs in the grass.
Isn’t it tethered now?
Was it the case that the incredibly obedient dogs are allowed to go loose but then at most one leash length from the owner?
Want to be able to show the owner the correct letter when it happens again.
