Many dead after an Israeli airstrike in Gaza

At the same time as Hurricane Milton wreaked havoc across the southern United States reported BBC Weather about extreme wind forces and temperatures expected to hit the UK on Thursday. According to the site, among other things, London would get wind speeds of 21,700 km/h, and Nottingham would get nighttime temperatures of 404 degrees Celsius in Nottingham.

But the spectacular weather warning was a mistake.

BBC weather presenter Matt Taylor writes in a post on X:

“Don’t worry folks – Hurricane Milton hasn’t reached us here in the UK!”

In a statement, the BBC apologized:

“We understand that there is a lot of interest in the weather today and this is incredibly frustrating. We are really, really sorry for this and are working very hard to resolve the issue”.

According to the news channel, the error is due to a problem with their data provider. According to SMHI’s weather forecast, it will be 11 degrees, drizzle and a light wind around 4 m/si in London on Thursday.

At half past ten in the morning, there was an alarm about shooting at the Israeli company Elbit Systems in Kallebäck, Gothenburg.

The teenage boy who was arrested after the murder of a man in Malmö early Monday morning has been requested to be detained. A detention hearing will be held at the Malmö district court later in the afternoon.

– There are good reasons for detaining him, but that must be decided by the court, says prosecutor Pär Andersson to TT.

The man, who was in his 50s, was hit by shots that went through a window into an apartment where the man’s family was also located.

The teenage boy has been requested to be detained for murder, aggravated weapons offense and violation of the Act on Explosive and Flammable Goods, Andersson states.

The police have previously stated that they cannot rule out that it was a mistaken shooting because they have not been able to find any threatening image against anyone who lives in the apartment.

The police are also investigating whether the teenage boy has been commissioned to carry out the murder on behalf of others.

Andersson does not want to comment on whether there are more suspects.

– I am not commenting on that at the moment, he says.

1 in 8 women have experienced rape or sexual abuse before they turned 18, according to a new report by UNICEF.

When the report includes sexual abuse that took place verbally or on the internet, the number of victims increases to one in five women.

“Sexual violence against children is a stain on our moral conscience,” said UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell.

According to UNICEF, around 1 in 11 men have been victims of rape or sexual abuse during childhood.

Often the abuse has been committed by someone the children know and trust, according to Russell.

It was the television network Fox News that invited to a final debate before the presidential election, which will be held on November 5. The debate would have taken place at the end of October.

“It is very late in the process, (early) voting has already started – there will be no rematch!”, Trump writes in a post written entirely in capitals on his own platform Truth social.

An industrial area in the city of Hassia outside Homs in Syria was attacked on Thursday night, according to state Syrian media.

According to initial information, a car factory has been attacked with material damage as a result, according to the regime-controlled news agency Sana.

Israel rarely comments on individual attacks in Syria, but has repeatedly said it will not allow Iran and its proxy groups to expand their presence in the region.

Iran and Hezbollah have been among the Syrian government’s most important allies in the country’s more than ten-year civil war.

An extremely strong and dangerous wind warning has been issued for the Tampa Bay area on Florida’s west coast as Hurricane Milton makes landfall.

“Consider these extreme winds as an approaching tornado and immediately seek an indoor shelter or storm shelter NOW,” the National Weather Service (NWS) in Tampa wrote on X.

Milton is now classified as a Category Three storm, having been up to five on the five-point scale.

It has been shot through gates to two stairwells in an apartment building in Kvillebäcken on Hisingen.

No one was injured in the shooting, which occurred just before 11 p.m.

The police have started a preliminary investigation into serious weapons offenses and serious illegal threats.

No one is arrested.

Hurricane Milton is expected to make landfall within hours, but over 250,000 people are already without power in Florida, reports CNN referring to the site poweroutage.us.

Power outages are expected to increase during the evening in western Florida – the closer the hurricane comes to land. It is warned that up to a million households could be without power in the state.

A Washington state woman alerted police that she had to flee her home after 50 to 100 raccoons took over her yard and acted aggressively, a police spokesperson said.

The woman said that she started feeding a family of raccoons several decades ago. A few weeks ago, around 100 raccoons suddenly appeared instead of a handful.

According to the police, the animals became increasingly aggressive, “demanding food, stalking her day and night”, scratching her house and door and surrounding her car.

As the police established that no crimes had been committed, the woman was referred to game wardens.

Israel’s military says it has killed a Hezbollah profiler in an airstrike in southwestern Syria.

Israel’s air force “attacked and eliminated” Adham Jahout, whom it describes in a statement as a terrorist within the Lebanese Shia militia Hezbollah’s terrorist cell in Syria.

Furthermore, Jahout is described as an intermediary who “passed information from the Syrian regime” to Iran-backed Hezbollah.

Israeli authorities do not usually comment on individual attacks in Syria, but have repeatedly said they will not allow Iran to expand its presence in the region.

Hezbollah has historically relied on ally Syria to transport weapons and other equipment from its main backer Iran.

The announcement of the strike comes hours after Israel’s military chief, Herzi Halevi, vowed to continue hitting Hezbollah and that attacks would continue “without respite” to prevent the group from recovering.
