German police have shut down a “giant” website with child porn and hundreds of thousands of users. In addition, six people connected to the network have been arrested.

The arrested are six men between the ages of 43 and 69 who are suspected of being leading figures behind the Darkweb platform, the police in North Rhine-Westphalia write in a statement.

The site was used solely to share pornographic material depicting children, says the chief investigator at a press conference.

There are no official figures on how many victims of crime there are, but the police state that the material shared on the site only contained images of girls.

Liberal party leader Johan Pehrson thinks it is a big failure for Jimmie Åkesson that a high-ranking member of a motorbike gang attended the SD leader’s wedding, according to DN.

– You could say that is an understatement. You need to think about not encouraging people in the gang criminal environment in any way, says Pehrson to the newspaper.

When asked if this affects trust in the government’s law enforcement work, Pehrson replies:

– It affects trust that you don’t do a risk assessment beforehand, but now Åkesson himself has stated that it was a failure.

There is a fire in an apartment in Malmö, the police write on their website.

A man has been taken to hospital by ambulance, the extent of his injuries is currently unclear.

Police are investigating how the fire started.

Jimmie Åkesson says he is saddened by the information that has come to light about Robert Hedarv.

“The attention surrounding the accompanying respective which by all accounts has a clear connection to the criminal MC environment. It wasn’t exactly how we had imagined our first week as husband and wife,” he writes in a post on Facebook.

About the connection to Hedarv, Jimmie Åkesson writes:

“There are certainly many people who think I’m generally stupid – and maybe I am – but at least I’m not so stupid that I don’t understand partly the inappropriateness of such a guest, partly what writings it would entail”.

Furthermore, Åkesson sends a message to his critics:

“That the tabloid press expert thought that cheap boxed wine is better suited for karaoke than weddings was, funnily enough, just the head of the nail. The starting point was just karaoke and dancing. Not a wine to go with poached quail feet served by a grim man in a funny hat. But, have a great time at the Nobel party! If you’re lucky, the guest list is carefully checked so that no Islamists, Iranians, Russians, anti-Semites or warmongers slip in…”

Threats against Jewish and Israeli targets in Norway have increased further, the Norwegian Security Police PST announces.

Therefore, the terrorist threat level in the country is raised from medium to high.

– There are several negative conditions that have increased the terrorist threat, among other things linked to the ongoing escalation in the conflict in the Middle East. In Norway, it is above all the threat against Jewish and Israeli targets that has intensified further, says Eirik Veium at PST.

At present, according to Veium, there is no information about concrete plans for terrorist acts against targets in Norway.

As a result of the increased threat level, the police have decided to arm the police nationally.

“An increased likelihood of attempted terror in Norway is a situation the police take very seriously and we have a series of measures to keep the population safe and ensure the best possible preparedness,” says police chief Benedicte Bjørnland in a press release from the police.

Deputy Prime Minister Ebba Busch (KD) defends Jimmie Åkesson and buys the SD leader’s explanation for why a gang leader was a guest at his wedding.

It reports The Express.

– Jimmie Åkesson himself says that this person would not have been at the wedding if Åkesson had known about these connections. A reasonable attitude, I think, says Busch to the newspaper.

Today, Northvolt announced that their subsidiary Northvolt Ett Expansion filed for bankruptcy.

Now Skellefteå Municipality is holding a press conference.

– The announcement comes in a very tough situation for those affected, says Lorents Burman, chairman of the municipal board.

He says that the municipality is following developments to see how the municipality can help those affected.

– We know that what is currently happening at Northvolt creates both a lot of concern and a lot of questions about the future. In the last week, we have had conversations with around 40 companies that have or have had assignments in the North Volta area, says Anja Palm, business manager.

They have been in talks with, among other things, the employment agency and the growth office to “enable mitigating effects”.

Northvolt has previously announced that 1,600 will be notified.

In a debate article in The Express last year, representatives from the Tidöpartierna wrote that an investigator had been commissioned to draw up a proposal to ban marriage between cousins. The issue has been established in the Tidö Agreement.

Now Minister of Justice Gunnar Strömmer presents what has been concluded in the investigation.

The investigator proposes that marriage between cousins ​​be prohibited and that the exemption option for half-siblings to marry be removed. In addition, it is proposed to introduce a ban on marriages between siblings and nephews.

– The background is honour-related violence and oppression, we know that it is a major social problem. Countering it is a priority issue for this government, but also a priority issue for many other actors in our society, says Gunnar Strömmer at the press conference.
