NTB/Cornelius Poppe via REUTERSOSLO, Aug 9 (Reuters) - Norway evacuated thousands of people as rivers swelled to their highest levels in at least 50 years on Wednesday and homes and businesses were submerged or swept away by landslides. Innlandet county, one of Norway's worst hit areas, said many people were isolated by the floods and that first responders may not be able to reach those in need. On Monday, a Swedish train derailed when a railway embankment was washed away by floods, injuring three people. Authorities in Norway and Sweden maintained red alerts, their most severe flood warnings, for several regions on Wednesday.

NTB/Cornelius Poppe via REUTERSSTOCKHOLM, Aug 8 (Reuters) - Norwegian emergency services evacuated hundreds of people in various locations on Tuesday, the second day that heavy rains caused landslides, with the risk of more, as a storm sweeps over the Nordics. Strong winds, intense rain and landslides hit parts of the Nordic region, knocking out power lines, flooding villages and bringing public transport to a standstill in the worst-affected areas. The storm, which has been called "Hans," hit Sweden late on Sunday and reached Norway on Monday, with parts of Denmark and Finland also affected. In southern Norway, floods and landslides blocked roads and halted key train services.

Alexei Miller, CEO of Russian state energy giant Gazprom, said on Wednesday that there was “no guarantee” that Europe would survive the winter with its current reserves. “Adopting policies that prevent the pass-through of high energy prices to consumers is an expensive gamble that is doomed to fail if wholesale energy prices will stay high in the future,” he added. Carlos Torres Diaz, head of power analysis at Rystad Energy, told CNN business that Europe’s energy transition “has been put on hold” as it prioritizes energy security. “These sources of energy also help reduce the dependency on energy imports,” Torres Diaz added.
