THREE NEWS FROM THE DAY YOU CAN’T MISS:

Saturday is the fourth day of balloon launches this week.

No hazardous materials have been found in the balloons, which largely contained manure, scrap, paper, pieces of plastic and bottles.

Equality Minister Paulina Brandberg (L) believes that veiling very young children should be grounds for a report of concern.
– My personal view is that every time a young child wears a veil, especially when it comes to really young children and especially when it is also parents who combine it with putting pressure on staff that the child is not allowed to play with boys on the break. Every time it happens, I think it should be grounds for reporting concern to the social service, so that the social service can really intervene, says Brandberg to SR Ekot’s Saturday interview.
Parts of L want to see a headscarf ban for children in preschool and school, but the proposal was voted down at the party’s last national meeting.

Rome Mayor Roberto Gualtieri is said to support the tourism chief’s proposal for a fee to enter the steps of the famous baroque monument Trevi Fountain.
The ticket to the fountain is supposed to cost two euros, equivalent to SEK 22. But such a fee must first be approved by Rome’s city council.
The fee only applies to those who want to walk the nine steps to the fountain. Those who only go to Trevi square do not have to pay.
