Northvolt’s largest owner Volkswagen leaves the battery giant’s board, writes Today’s industry.

The government presents new measures against men’s violence against women.
An investigator must now, among other things, review the requirement for consideration time in divorces.
– The aim is to ensure a well-functioning order for people who want to separate, as well as to counter economic violence, says Minister of Justice Gunnar Strömmer (M) at a press conference.
The district court can decide that married couples must have a period of reflection before they are allowed to divorce if there are children under the age of 16 in the family or if it is only one of the parties who wants to divorce.
Today, the rules mean that by opposing the divorce, a spouse can delay it by six months.
– The other party who wants to leave is then forced to stay in the marriage against their will, says Equality Minister Paulina Brandberg (L) and continues:
– It is a fundamental right to be allowed to leave a marriage you do not want to remain in.
The assignment must be reported in December 2025.

Spain is spending an additional almost 3.8 billion euros, approximately 44 billion Swedish kronor, on relief efforts after the catastrophic floods, announced the Prime Minister of Spain, Pedro Sánchez.
The aid package comes after the government already promised help for 10.6 billion euros last week.
Spain will put “all the necessary resources as long as needed”, says Pedro Sánchez at a press conference.
At least 222 people died as a result of the storm that hit Spain a couple of weeks ago. The region of Valencia was hardest hit. Muddy waters destroyed roads and railways, cars floated away and farmland was submerged. Thousands of soldiers, police and others are working to repair destroyed infrastructure, distribute aid and search for people who are still missing.

It is not realistic to believe in the formation of an independent Palestinian state, claims Israel’s new foreign minister Gideon Sa’ar.
– I do not consider that position to be realistic today, and we must be realistic, he told reporters in Jerusalem.
A Palestinian state would constitute a “Hamas state”, Sa’ar further claims.
The move came in response to the question of what Sa’ar thinks about establishing a Palestinian state in exchange for normalized relations between Israel and the Arab countries in the region.
Israel has long hoped for thawed relations with Saudi Arabia, but the war in Gaza has put an end to all discussions on the matter.
