Concerns about external influence on the US election have been widely discussed, but now the US government’s cyber security chief has reassuring news.

In an interview with the AP news agency, Jen Easterly says that the technical systems are now so robust that none of America’s rivals, such as Russia and Iran, have the opportunity to get into them and influence the election results.

– Malicious actors would not, even if they tried, be able to influence on such a scale that it would mean a significant effect on the election results, Easterly, director of the agency for cyber and infrastructure security, told the AP.

Jimmie Åkesson debates against Magdalena Andersson in SVT’s Aktuellt about the Swedes who remain in Lebanon while the situation escalates.

Jimmie Åkesson wonders “what on earth are they doing there”.

– We have many people with Swedish passports who should not have Swedish passports. You have been asked to go back to Sweden, but you are still there, he says in SVT and continues:

– So you have come to Sweden as a refugee and then you have gone back to a country you fled from. Then I wonder what on earth you do there when you live here?

On the objection that you can visit relatives, Åkesson says:

– You might think so, but then the reasonable question is, didn’t you run away from there? I think it’s remarkable and we should do something about this that so many people have Swedish passports who shouldn’t have them.

The police shut down several platforms at Hamburg central station on Wednesday when a man on a train was suspected of being infected with Marburg hemorrhagic fever, reports Bild.

The man is a German medical student who has just flown in from Rwanda, where there is an ongoing outbreak of the virus. During the train journey, he experienced flu symptoms, and was therefore immediately taken to hospital in a special infection rescue vehicle.

The man’s girlfriend, who was traveling with him, was also taken to hospital. The couple’s luggage was also confiscated, writes Bild.

According to the newspaper, there were around 200 passengers on the train. The police will now map who has had contact with the presumably infected people.
