A zookeeper has been attacked by a tiger at an amusement park in Australia.

The 47-year-old female attendant, described as experienced with tigers, was bitten on the arm and suffered serious lacerations and puncture wounds.

Staff at Dreamworld in the capital Canberra managed to stop the bleeding before the attendant was taken to hospital. Her condition is said to be stable.

The theme park has nine tigers of the Sumatran tiger and Bengal tiger species.

The attack is described as an “isolated and unusual” incident that will be investigated.

A truck and a car have collided on the E4 at the height of Sävar outside Umeå, reports Västerbotten-Kuriren.

The road was closed in both directions.

Two people are involved in the accident, the extent of their injuries is unclear. One person has been taken to hospital.

At 9 o’clock, the emergency services were finished with their efforts.

Now the big strike planned by the umbrella organization Histradut has started in Israel. The reason for the strike is to put pressure on the government to reach an agreement with Hamas and bring home those who remain hostages.

Signs of it are already visible in several parts of the country.

Dozens of protesters have blocked a road in Tel Aviv. The same thing happens in other cities. In the northern town of Rosh Pina, a road is also blocked by protests, reports say Times of Israel.

At Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv, a strike will last between 08:00 and 10:00 local time. However, this will not affect incoming flights.

A suspected dangerous object, which looked like an explosive device, was found outside a gate at Rosengård in Malmö but later turned out not to be an explosive device, writes Sydsvenskan.

The find is the third in Malmö within a day.

– The item turned out to be completely harmless. But we have drawn up a report of serious illegal threats, says Katarina Rusin, press spokesperson at the police command centre.

On Sunday, the police were called to two different locations after being alerted to items suspected of being dangerous.

However, they turned out to be harmless.

The E6 is closed in both directions after a single-vehicle accident outside Tanumshede, the police write.

There are no reports of personal injuries. Now the police will clean up the road.

– It came in as a single accident from SOS alarm on 07.09. I don’t know exactly what happened, says Jens Andersson at the police in Väst.

In connection with the accident, there has been an oil spill on both roads – traffic is therefore closed.

– Can be car parts too. Now the road is being made safe to travel on again, he says.

The Swedish Transport Administration’s forecast is that traffic should be able to move again at 08.30.

A boy was beaten by several people after a fight on Sunday evening. The incident occurred in Enköping.

The day before yesterday, the well-known whale Hvalidimir was confirmed dead.

But now comes information that his cause of death was not natural.

This is what the head of the volunteer organization One Whale says to Stavanger Aftenblad according to Dagbladet. She has followed him for five years.

– We are devastated by the news that Hvaldimir has been found dead, says Regina Crosby Haug.

It is not known what caused the whale’s death. But there are plans for him to be autopsied.

– He was healthy and had no signs of illness. My guess is that he was hit by a boat and died of internal injuries. We have documented that Hvaldimir has swum with boats, and he has previously been hit by a boat, says Haug.

The whale Hvaldimir was noticed by the media when there was speculation about whether he was a “spy whale” trained by Russia. He was found dead in the harbor basin in Risavika outside Stavanger last Saturday.

During the night, a villa burned to the ground in Höör.

The emergency services were called to the scene just after midnight.

– We went there with resources from Höör and Hörby. It was ablaze on arrival, says Mats Nilsson, officer on duty at the rescue service.

There was no way to save the villa, so under controlled conditions they let it burn down.

– There are no reports of injuries. We are not left on the spot, says Mats Nilsson.

A man has been taken to hospital after a suspected assault. He has been attacked by several people known to him.

The injured man is 35 years old. No one has been arrested at this time.

Russia has attacked Kiev with several drones and robots, the Ukrainian Air Force says.

Several explosions damaged the Ukrainian capital early Monday morning, prompting residents to seek shelter.

According to Kyiv mayor Vitaly Klitschko, one person has been injured in the attacks. Emergency services were alerted to several different city districts.

“There will be an answer to everything. The enemy will feel it,” presidential chief of staff Andriy Yermak wrote on the Telegram messaging service after the attack.

Today it was clear that the far-right AfD became the largest party in the German state of Thuringia. They received 32.8 percent of the votes in the state. In Saxony, the party became the second largest with 30.6 percent after the Christian Democrats CDU, which got 31.9 percent there.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz called the AfD’s success and the loss of his own coalition “bitter”, reports Reuters.

Furthermore, he urged the other major parties to form the government without “right-wing extremists”.

But the chance for AfD to govern is low because other parties have not wanted to cooperate with them in the past, writes the news agency.

– The results for the AfD in Saxony and Thuringia are worrying, says Olaf Scholz.

House prices rose by 2 percent in August, according to new statistics from SBAB. Now awaits an autumn where the Riksbank has flagged for several interest rate cuts.

– If inflation jumps up again and the Riksbank does not lower the interest rate, it would be quite negative for the housing market, says Robert Boije.

For villas, the increase in August was 2.2 percent and for condominiums 1.5 percent. Seasonally adjusted, the increase was 0.7 percent for the country as a whole.

According to Robert Boije, Chief Economist at SBAB, an increase was expected because prices usually shoot up in August. However, they rose somewhat more than normal for the month.

– We look at seasonal patterns and normally house prices rise during the spring months, then the summer months tend to be a bit down and then comes August, he says.

After that, housing prices normally fall in September to December, how it will be this autumn is uncertain.

– Now everyone expects that the interest rate is on the way down. If inflation jumps up again and the Riksbank does not lower the interest rate, it would be quite negative for the housing market.
