A video of a security guard forcefully detaining a child on a train platform was filmed in Sweden in 2015 and the child was not killed, contrary to online claims that the clip shows an Israeli police officer strangling a Palestinian child to death in October 2023. The clip, however, was filmed in February 2015 in Sweden. No media outlets reported that the boy had been killed in the encounter. Swedish newspaper Sydsvenskan reported in April 2015 that the security guards would not be prosecuted. The video of a private security guard violently detaining a child was filmed in Sweden in 2015, not Israel in 2023.

STOCKHOLM (AP) — A ferry that had ran aground last month off southeastern Sweden and started leaking oil into the Baltic Sea was pulled free on Wednesday and anchored nearby, the Swedish Coast Guard said. The Marco Polo, operated by the TT-Line of Germany, was operating a route along Sweden’s coast between the cities of Trelleborg and Karlshamn when it ran aground on Oct. 22 and started leaking oil. The ferry wasn't at risk of sinking despite taking on water, the coast guard said. Earlier, the coast guard said the ferry had suffered “extensive damage” and would eventually be towed into the harbor of Karlshamn. The inspection would be made by a salvage company hired by the TT-Line's insurance firm, the coast guard said.

REUTERS/Yves Herman Acquire Licensing RightsMALMÖ, Sweden, Oct 12 (Reuters) - China is still a key growth market for budget furniture retailer IKEA despite the world's second-largest economy showing signs of strain, executives at the biggest IKEA store owner said on Thursday. The company has 37 IKEA stores in China, out of a total of 537 locations worldwide. Ingka Group overall saw 697 million visits to its IKEA stores in the 2023 financial year, up 7.4% from the previous year. The rate of increase was much higher in China, Brodin said, as stores reopened and shoppers returned. China's sheer size makes it a key opportunity, said Tolga Oncu, head of IKEA Retail at Ingka Group.

Santos, the club where Pelé and Neymar started, also doesn't accept that the Al-Hilal striker broke the record of the man the club and Brazilians call their king. Pelé scored twice in Brazil's 2-2 draw with Inter Milan in 1960. In 1960, he claimed a hat-trick in a 3-1 triumph over against a combination of Egyptian and Syrian national team players. “I want to say this (record) doesn’t mean I am better than him (Pelé) or any national team player,” he said in a short statement. “I always wanted to write my story in the national team and today I did that.”___

CNN —Swedish legend Zlatan Ibrahimovic has announced his retirement from a glittering soccer career at the age of 41, leaving Italy’s Serie A as the league’s oldest-ever goal scorer. “It’s time to say goodbye to football, but not to you,” an emotional Ibrahimovic told the Rossoneri fans at the San Siro stadium. Ibrahimovic won the Eredivisie twice and the KNVB Cup in 2002. Following his spell at the Dutch club, Ibrahimovic went on to play for some of the biggest clubs in Europe, including Juventus, Inter Milan, Barcelona, AC Milan, Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United. His stint in Spain was short-lived as he was loaned to AC Milan in 2010, in a move made permanent in 2011.

Most Western embassies in Sudan were evacuated a week into the fighting, leaving many Sudanese visa applicants without their travel documents and in legal limbo. Several Sudanese citizens told CNN they cannot flee the conflict-ridden country because their passports are held at evacuated Western embassies. These are passports of Sudanese passport holders who have applied for a short-stay Schengen visa or an MVV (provisional residence permit). But unfortunately the ICRC cannot issue emergency travel documents for people to leave their own country,” they told CNN in a statement. Mohamed Nureldin Abdallah/Reuters“I am now an obstacle for my family since they cannot travel and leave me,” she told CNN.

The group launched a hotline for LGBTQ+ Ukrainians and opened an LGBTQ+ friendly shelter.
Группа из 28 шведских медицинских экспертов в открытом письме призвала вакцинировать против COVID-19 только людей из групп риска, но не молодых людей и здоровых. В противном случае мы рискуем повторить фатальные ошибки, допущенные при вакцинации от свиного гриппа», – написали эксперты в письме, цитируемом Sputnik Italia. Вскоре против свиного гриппа была разработана вакцина, и по всему миру ввели 60-90 миллионов доз. Фактором, который сбивает с толку, является то, что вирус свиного гриппа вызывает нарколепсию, что затрудняет определение истинной причины этого эффекта. Предупреждение шведских специалистов противоречит общей стратегии вакцинации, реализованной Шведским агентством общественного здравоохранения, государственным эпидемиологом Андерсом Тегнеллом и координатором кампании по вакцинации Ричардом Бергстремом.
