Latest news – Orange snow warning over Gotland

Canada is preparing a change to its law on assisted dying, reports Reuters.

When the latest version of the law was passed in 2021, mental illness was excluded. From March next year, people suffering from mental illness will be able to apply for assisted dying. Two doctors must then assess and decide whether the application should be rejected or approved.

The law was first passed in 2016 and since then 30,000 Canadians have died via assisted dying, of which 10,000 in 2021.

The change in the law has been debated and questioned as some psychiatrists believe that it is impossible to determine whether a mental illness is incurable, while others believe that the new law would mean that patients would avoid “unbearable suffering”.

A spokesperson for Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos states that the government is now working intensively on the issue to develop a clear framework, reports Reuters.

A man in his 20s is sentenced for surreptitiously filming an intercourse he had with a woman of the same age, reports SVT Sörmland.

The man then sent the film to the woman and wrote “are you not horny”. The woman did not know that the man had filmed. Now the man is sentenced for offensive photography and sexual harassment. He must pay SEK 5,000 in daily fines and SEK 20,000 in damages.

The police in Gothenburg are investigating a suspected attempted murder.

A man in his 20s showed up at the emergency room at Sahlgrenska hospital with a knife wound to his back.

“It is currently unclear how serious the injuries are and where this should have occurred. The police have gone to the hospital to try to clarify what happened,” the police write on their website.

The Reuters news agency states that two leading figures in the terrorist sect IS have been killed in eastern Syria.

They are said to have been killed in an American raid carried out by helicopter, reports VG.

The electricity system in Sweden is under pressure and on Monday a price shock awaits customers. A central reason is that Oskarshamn 3 and Ringhals 4 are closed. Ringhals 3 runs at half speed – but should go up to full power late on Sunday.

The loss of planned energy production causes the oil-powered Karlshamnsverket to go into high alert.

As of Monday morning, the plant must be able to start production at two hours’ notice if necessary to cover the need for electricity in the south.

Björn Magnusson, spokesperson for Uniper, which operates Karlshamnsverket, tells Aftonbladet that the oil power plant has often been in operation recently.

“Given the strained situation, there may be some drift ahead,” writes Björn Magnusson.

The police appoint a special investigator after revelations about the police leadership.

– The authority has implemented a number of measures in the cases that have been the subject of the media’s review, says national police chief Anders Thornberg.

Aftonbladet has reported, among other things that the then head of Noa, Mats Löfving, was thoroughly investigated after he hired Linda Staaf as Noa’s head of intelligence. This must have been done after they had a relationship, according to information.

According to Expressen should she have got the job despite her lack of experience.

Runar Viksten, who leads the investigation, is to conduct a “complete review of the Police Authority’s actions in relation to current rules and procedures”, the police write on their website.

He will start his work “as soon as possible”. By April 28 at the latest, he must report what has been arrived at.

At around 1 p.m., the police were alerted about a cow that ran loose in the bus lane on the E6 in Gothenburg.

Now it has been euthanized, reports Gothenburg Post.

– The cow ran around on the road and was a major traffic nuisance. That it was euthanized was up to the owner, perhaps it could not be captured in a good way, says police spokesperson Peter Adlersson to GP.

The University of Bergen threw a bag of radioactive waste in the garbage, reports The daily newspaper.

The incident occurred in October at the Department of Biomedicine at the University of Bergen. Until recently, it was not known for sure what had happened to the waste.

It is now suspected that the radioactive remains were burned up.

“Our hypothesis is that the waste container with radioactive waste has been emptied together with the residual waste,” the institute writes in a report that Dagbladet has had access to.

The report has been sent to the Norwegian Directorate for Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety.

– We take this very seriously, says head of department Frode Steingrimsen Berven to the newspaper.

Two and a half years ago, a similar incident occurred at the university.

The chairman of the justice committee Richard Jomshof (SD) wants to introduce a veil ban in the police, reports The Express.

– The whole point of having a uniform in the police or the military is that it should be uniform – i.e. uniform. If you allow religious or political markers, it is no longer a uniform because then it is not uniform, says Jomshof to the newspaper.

He now hopes that the government, together with SD, will agree and get a bill passed.

– Maybe the time is now ripe for that kind of discussion. I think so, that it should be.

He also does not rule out that a headscarf ban could eventually apply to all public employees.

The Libyan man Abu Agila Masud, who is suspected of being behind the Lockerbie attack, has been arrested in the United States, the BBC reports.

This according to relatives of those who were killed in the attack.

– The families of those who died in the Lockerbie bombing have been informed that the suspect Abu Agila Masud is in American custody, says a spokesperson for British authorities.

It was on December 21, 1988 that Pan Am 103, on its way from London to New York, was blown up over Lockerbie. 270 people died.

Already two years ago, the US claimed that Masud played a key role in the bombing. Last month, reports surfaced that he had been kidnapped in Libya, sparking speculation that he would be extradited to the United States.

He is now accused of making the bomb that blew up the plane.

The police have received a report of a rape outdoors in Södertälje.

The report was made last night.

The police have cordoned off the crime scene and searched the area using, among other things, two special search dogs in search of tracks.

No one has been arrested so far.
