Today, Mikaela Somnell and Joachim Kerpner are with you. This Sunday, we are primarily monitoring the fire at a nursing home in Bollnäs, where a major rescue effort was underway in the early morning. In Ukraine, around 20 have been injured in an attack in Dnipro during the night, while attacks were repelled in the capital, Kiev. In the more light-hearted groove, the royal couple is in Gothenburg to celebrate the obverse’s 400th anniversary.

Welcome to keep up with us in the news feed!

  • Woman missing – major search effort underway

    A search operation involving several police patrols, dogs, a helicopter and civilian resources is underway for a woman in her 70s.

    The woman has not been seen since 09:00 on Saturday when she was on her way out for a walk with her dog.

    She is described as short and had a long braid in her hair and a black or blue jacket and jeans when she was last seen.

    She probably has a small dog with her.

    The police are now appealing for tips in the search for the woman – in case of sightings call 114 14 or 112 in emergency situations.

  • Boy dead after elevator accident

    The boy who was seriously injured in an elevator accident on Wednesday is dead, writes GP.

    – I left the message this morning, I can’t say anything more but only confirm that he is deceased, says Lisa Räng, press communicator at Sahlgrenska hospital, to Aftonbladet.

    When the boy died is unclear.

    – The fact that we are announcing this now has nothing to do with the fact that it coincided with the death itself.

    The boy got stuck in the elevator and during the rescue operation fell five floors into the elevator shaft.

    – From the travel center down to the south, and from the Folkparken to Sylten, you could say, says Björn Persson at EON’s press service to NT.

    Twelve people have died of suffocation in a closed gold mine in El Callao in southwestern Venezuela.

    The twelve people died on Wednesday when rain flooded the mine and cut off the oxygen supply to the illegal miners.

    In 2021, one person died in the same gold mine when a shaft collapsed. 34 people could be rescued from the mine that time. (TT)

  • Would really like to know what the reasons were that you removed Dustin and the chess duel. It was the page you looked forward to reading the most. Almost thinking about unsubscribing!

    Oskar Norlin

    Hello Oskar!

    Very sad to hear that you miss Dustin and the chess duel. The answer I received is that we constantly review the magazine’s content and costs. Now we have decided to remove the bridge and chess column as well as Dustin. We understand that the people who actually read them find it boring, but as an editor you have to make tough priorities all the time.

    Hope you can find something else you like in the magazine. Have a nice Sunday!

  • How can mouthguards have a best before date? What is going bad?

    Annika

    Hello!

    The mouthguards’ best before date seems to depend, among other things, on the type of mouthguard and how they have been stored. You can read more about it here.

  • Why don’t you write about the border conflict between Afghanistan and Iran.

    Ellie

    Hello!

    You can find articles about it here and here.

  • Adam Westin writes in his notice about a fire at a nursing home in Bollnäs that “Parts of the nursing home have been evacuated, and some people in the home have been housed, according to the channel.” Forgive a youngster, but what have they been housed in? What do you mean? I understand that you make room when there is a fire – but do you house?

    Lotta Larsson

    Hi Lotta! Relevant question, it is perhaps a bit of a blue light expression! Sometimes a building is evacuated to protect people – sometimes a building is occupied to protect people. An example, which has become far too common lately: If there is a shooting near a preschool, the staff would probably “house in” the children. So in Bollnäs, people may have been housed to be protected from the smoke.
