Staff situation at Mälar Hospital
Region Sörmland has gone into emergency mode at Mälar Hospital because the water may have been contaminated.
– It could be a problem with a valve that means we have the same water in the hospital as the rest of Eskilstuna, says Magnus Johansson who is director of health and medical care to the channel.
Since Tuesday, residents in Eskilstuna have been urged to boil water before use due to a damaged distribution line at the Hyndevad waterworks.

Chinese ships are said to have moved close to more cables
Earlier in November, the suspected sabotage vessel Yi Peng 3 made mysterious maneuvers over three underwater cables between Denmark and Sweden, Danish TV2 reports.
The incident is said to have occurred on the morning of November 7 during the Chinese ship’s journey towards Russia and the port of Ust-Luga.
According to TV2, data on the ship’s movements show that it slowed from 13 knots to 0.5 knots just as it passed over three underwater cables at the height of Kungsbacka on the Swedish side and Läsö off the Danish coast.
According to the channel, it concerns two electrical cables and a data cable for transmission between Denmark and Sweden. None of the cables should have suffered any known problems.
The ship only became known to the outside world ten days later, when on its way from the Russian port it is suspected of having been involved in the sabotage of two underwater cables between Sweden and Lithuania and Finland and Germany respectively.
For the past week, Yi Peng 3 has been stationary in the Kattegat in the Danish economic zone, where it is monitored by the Danish navy.

The Riksdag has agreed to anonymous witnesses
The Riksdag has voted through the controversial law on anonymous witnesses. It comes into force on 1 January 2025.
The law means that in some cases it will be possible to testify anonymously during preliminary investigations and criminal cases in court. The purpose is to strengthen the protection of witnesses who otherwise do not dare to testify and a way to access the culture of silence surrounding the criminal gangs.
But the law has also received harsh criticism, among other things the Legal Council questioned the legal certainty. Subsequently, the government has made certain changes in the text of the law.
Crime scene investigation of the cables has been completed

Crime scene investigation of the cables has been completed
The police announce that the crime scene investigation of the damaged data cables on the bottom of the Baltic Sea has been completed. Now the material from the damaged cables is analysed.
A preliminary investigation into sabotage in two cases is ongoing.
– The preliminary investigation was started because it cannot be ruled out that the cables have been damaged on purpose. The crime classification is therefore currently sabotage, but this may change, says Per Engström, head of command at Noa in a press release.
The cables lie on the seabed off Gotland and Öland respectively.

The central bank warns: Inflation is rampant again
The central bank warns: Inflation is rampant again
In the Riksbank’s fortune-telling ball, Sweden appears to be moving towards a lower inflation rate and thus also lower interest rates. But now one of the country’s largest banks is putting itself at odds with that vision of the future.
In a recent analysis, Handelsbanken’s forecaster Johan Löf predicts that inflation will increase to 2.2 percent in November according to CPIF.
To compare what the Riksbank believes: that it should drop to 0.9 percent.
“If we are right, the Riksbank’s error in its forecasts will be enormous,” writes Johan Löf.
He believes that the Riksbank has missed two important factors in its calculations – that electricity prices have skyrocketed again and that the krona has weakened.
Johan Löf calls the Riksbank’s inflation forecast an “epic miss”.

The rare species of gorse butterfly has been discovered on southern Gotland.
As the insect is protected, the Land and Environmental Court has decided on an immediate logging ban for a forest owner in the area.
It was the Nature Conservation Society that appealed the Forestry Agency’s previous approval of the felling.
The matter is now being referred back to the Norwegian Forestry Agency for an in-depth investigation of the area and how landowners can ensure in the long term that the butterfly’s status is not threatened.
