More expensive to take public transport in eleven regions
today at 07.21 Johanna Sundbeck
Starting next year, it will be more expensive to travel by public transport in eleven regions in Sweden, reports Echo.
The increase is estimated to be around five percent, and overall a 30-day county card for adults will be between SEK 30 and 100 more expensive in the month in which the increase is made.
Increased costs for, among other things, fuel and the global situation are behind the increase.
There is a model that shows that a price increase of ten percent leads to approximately four percent fewer travelers in general, says John Hultén, director of K2, which is Sweden’s national center for research and education on public transport, to Ekot.

Fire in apartment – refrigerator suspected
During the morning a fire broke out in an apartment in Kisa, Corren reports.
The alarm came at 2:16 a.m.
When the emergency services arrived at the scene, there was heavy smoke in a stairwell.
By half past four the fire was out.
– At the scene it was difficult to get a handle on where the fire started, but it is probably a refrigerator that is the cause of the fire, says Morgan Wass, duty officer of the rescue service to the newspaper.
Eight people have been taken to hospital, according to Corren. Seven of them were slightly injured. One person is seriously injured, but the situation is said to be stable.

The thousands of tourists who were stranded in Peru can now leave the country, TT reports.
About 4,500 tourists, mostly from the United States and Europe, have been stranded in various parts of the country as trains and flights have not run due to the unrest that followed the ouster and arrest of the country’s former president Pedro Castillo.
Several airports have been closed but on Friday the Cusco airport opened and the foreign tourists could start flying out.
– By Sunday at the latest, all stranded tourists will leave, Tourism Minister Luis Fernando Helguero told the state news agency Adina.

New robotic launch from North Korea
North Korea has fired a robot into the sea east of the country, South Korea and Japan say.
A South Korean chief of staff said the launch occurred Sunday morning local time but gave no further details. The Japanese Prime Minister’s staff also confirmed that a postponement has taken place.
Japan’s coast guard said it was informed by the defense minister that the suspected robot landed in the sea between Japan and the Korean peninsula, but did not say how close to the Japanese coast. (TT)
EU agrees on increased emissions trading
The EU has agreed on a more ambitious emissions trading scheme. This is stated by EU parliamentarian Emma Wiesner (C), who participated in the final negotiations, for TT.
According to the agreement, which was completed on the night of Sunday, aviation, shipping, transport, the housing sector and waste incineration must now also be covered by emissions trading.
– This means that 75 percent of Europe’s emissions will be covered by emissions trading. There are enormous steps forward in climate work compared to today’s 40 percent. We are almost doubling the scale of emissions and three quarters of emissions in Europe will be covered by a price on carbon dioxide. This is vital for the planet and the future of humanity, says Emma Wiesner.
The package also includes the EU’s new social climate fund and the phasing in of carbon dioxide duties that price emissions outside of Europe as well. (TT)
Electricity back for six million Ukrainians
Close to six million Ukrainians who were without power after Russian robot attacks got electricity back on Saturday. That’s what President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in his daily speech.

He also said that there is still a lot of work to be done before electricity is back everywhere. (TT)
Police check of 14-year-old is taken up by HD
The Supreme Court (HD) will hear a case where a police officer was convicted of an unauthorized body search of a 14-year-old, reports SVT Nyheter Sörmland.
It was in March last year that a police officer carried out the body search in a town in Sörmland. Among other things, the boy was asked to take off his pants.
The fact that it happened without the prosecutor’s approval was judged to be incorrect and the police were convicted of misconduct in both the District Court and the Court of Appeal.
It is now clear that HD grants leave to appeal – and that the case will thus be heard in the highest instance.
The policeman was sentenced to a day’s fine for the crime. (TT)
Thefts at Stadsmissionen – employees are suspected
Several employees at the Stockholm City Mission are suspected of having stolen from the organization’s central warehouse, reports say SVT News Stockholm.
The thefts must have taken place systematically during the autumn.
– We have never experienced anything like this at Stadmissionen and it is deeply regrettable. This is a year when many private individuals and companies give us gifts, then some people choose to abuse the trust in this way, says Staffan Arvas who is deputy director.
It must be at least five people who stole a “significant amount”.
At the central warehouse, donated items are sorted before they are sent on to the 24 stores in Stockholm.
Car got stuck on the tracks – was hit by a train
At around 9:30 p.m., the police received an alert that a car had been hit by the train in Sävast in Boden.
According to SOS, the car was stuck between the barriers, but everyone was out of the car when the collision happened, write NSD.
– The car had skidded and got stuck on the railway crossing. In the collision, the car was pushed about 30 meters, says Hans Lindmark at the police command center to the newspaper.
There are no reports that anyone on the train was injured.
– There are people on the train. The coffee shop in the train is open, says NSD’s reporter on the spot.
Beautiful Finnish donkey found
On Saturday morning, the police in the Finnish Lojo had to move out to take care of a runaway donkey.
A passer-by had encountered the donkey near a grocery store.
“In Lojanatten we were met by a donkey, but not by three wise men,” the police write on Twitter.
The donkey turned out to be twelve-year-old Judit, who had run away from a Bible society.
– She was once chosen as the donkeys’ Miss Finland. It was probably ten years ago, says the Bible Society’s business manager to the newspaper Ilta-Sanomat.
The donkey had only managed a few kilometres. At the course yard, they hadn’t noticed that she was gone before the police came back with her.
