Streams after the school shooting: “Especially serious”

Danderyd hospital has a power outage, according to the hospital’s press department for TV4.

The intensive care unit receives power for emergency systems from a battery backup.

– All hospitals have backup batteries, so there is no danger for patients. But it could be that elevators are standing still, says Marianne Lagerbielke, press officer at the hospital to TV4.

Power is expected to be back on in 10 to 15 minutes.

The two teenage boys who suffered serious injuries after the lightning strike on Lidingö are doing better, the Karolinska hospital says for P4 Stockholm.

It was on August 30 that several people were struck by lightning.

The Grenfell Tower fire was caused by a chain of failures by various governments, “dishonest” companies and a lack of strategy by the fire service. This is according to an investigation presented today, reports Sky News.

72 people died in the Grenfell Tower fire on June 14, 2017. An interim report released in 2019 concluded that the main reason why the fire had such devastating consequences was that the 24-story apartment building’s facade was not built according to the rules.

The same report concluded that the emergency services did not function optimally. Some early emergency calls from residents were not handled properly, and not all firefighters had been trained in how the materials used in the facade would perform in a fire. Residents had been instructed to remain in their apartments, and that strategy should have been abandoned sooner.

The government is strengthening support for people who want to leave prostitution or are exposed to human trafficking.

Support lines for victims of violence also receive extra money.

In the budget for 2025, support for those exposed to prostitution is increased by SEK 10 million.

The pressure on helplines for victims of violence is extremely high and many callers never get through. Especially during nights and evenings, many people hang up before they get to the front of the queue.

To strengthen the support lines, the National Center for Women’s Peace (NCK) at Uppsala University, which, among other things, runs the Women’s Peace Line, receives SEK 7 million per year for the years 2025 to 2027.

The government will present the budget bill for 2025 in its entirety on 19 September.

The white whale Hvaldimir was shot to death, claim the organizations One Whale and Noah.

The animal rights movements have filed a police report regarding the whale’s death, they state in a press release.

“I have spent a lot of time with Hvaldimir in the last five years and know him very well. So when I saw his body and the many injuries, I could immediately see that he was killed by gunshots,” says Regina Haug at One Whale, according to Norwegian media.

The press release contains images that allegedly show a bullet hole in Hvaldimir.

He was found dead on Saturday in the water outside Stavanger, Norway. He underwent an autopsy on Monday, but according to Norwegian TV 2, the report is only expected in three weeks.

The number of people found dead in Russia’s attack on the Ukrainian city of Poltava has risen to 53. Several people are still missing, and may be trapped under the rubble, writes the newspaper Ukrainska Pravda with reference to rescue forces.

Around 300 people are reported to be injured after the attack, which took place with two robots that managed to break through Ukraine’s air defenses.

The devastation is great at the site – according to Ukrainska Pravda, 800 tons of debris have been cleared so far.

The attack took place on Tuesday morning when the robots struck a military school building and a nearby care property. It is unclear which of the victims were military or civilians.

Ukraine does not usually report how many soldiers are killed, but as far as is known, this is one of the deadliest single incidents since Russia started the full-scale war in Ukraine in February 2022.

A man who was previously detained for gross unauthorized position with secret information is no longer a suspect in the investigation, writes the Public Prosecutor’s Office in a press release.

“The preliminary investigation against the man has been closed today. The preliminary investigation against the woman who was detained at the same time on suspicion of the same crime is still ongoing,” says senior prosecutor Mats Ljungqvist at the National Security Unit.

The military suspect and his FRA employee wife were arrested in a Säpo-led operation on 17 October. Both were detained from October to December last year, when the prosecutor lifted the detention. Now only the woman in the case is a suspect.

An eight-year-old boy in the US state of Utah has died after accidentally shooting himself with his mother’s gun.

The boy was alone in a car while the mother was shopping when the shot was fired, reports Sky News. According to the mother, the son must have found the loaded weapon under the driver’s seat of the car.
