The election in the USAScottish at Trump's golf course
Suspect was photographed by witness - led to arrest
A witness saw the fleeing perpetrator at Donald Trump's golf course in Florida, authorities confirm at a press conference.
The witness took a picture of the perpetrator's car, a black Nissan, and alerted the authorities at the scene.
- We were then able to call for the car and not long later it was identified in Martin County and the suspect was arrested, says Palm Beach Sheriff Ric Bradshaw.
He adds that it was "great" that the witness photographed the car. The arrest must have gone smoothly.
The FBI is investigating the incident as a suspected assassination attempt on Donald Trump. It's the second at the Republican presidential candidate in two months.

The shots at Trump's golf course
The FBI is investigating the attempted murder of Trump - armed man stood ready at the golf course fence
The FBI is investigating what is suspected to be an assassination attempt on Donald Trump after a gunman was discovered at his golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida. The authorities announce this at a press conference.
The suspected perpetrator was discovered while Trump was playing. He was spotted about 400 meters further on, at a fence right on the border of the track, and the Secret Service fired shots as a precaution. The suspect fled from there and was apprehended in a car a short time later.
An "AK47-like" weapon with a scope and a Gopro camera were later found at the suspect's location.
Initially, there were reports that shots were fired at Trump. There is no information that shots were fired other than from the Secret service.
It takes place just over two months after the assassination attempt on Donald Trump in Pennsylvania, where he was shot during a campaign speech.

Economy
The Russian invasion The sanctions
Several Swedish companies have applied to operate in Russia
The number of Swedish companies that sought exemptions from the sanctions against Russia has risen to 65, compared to 56 at the end of last year. This is reported by DN with reference to figures from the authority Kommerskollegium.
- Some companies have a small strength. They may be on the way to winding down, but have one person left trying to turn off the lights, says unit manager Michael Koch to the newspaper and continues:
- Others still have their full operations.
Boeing cuts
The union puts pressure on Boeing: "Could last a while"
Over 30,000 employees at Boeing in the United States have been on strike since Friday - and it "could last for a while," union representative Jon Holden told the radio channel NPR, according to Reuters.
- We have more leverage, more power and more opportunity than we've ever had, and our members expect us to use it.
The proposal for a 25 percent salary increase over four years was voted down by the members. Several believe that the scrapped bonus package cuts roughly half of the wage increase and that their wages have lagged behind for many years, reports Reuters.

Electricity prices
Minus prices wear on Europe's electricity grid: "It's like harakiri"
Electricity prices on all European markets were negative for a total of 7,841 hours during the first eight months of the year, which is the highest level ever. This is reported by the Financial Times with reference to the analysis firm ICIS.
The explanation lies in the fact that solar and wind power capacity has been expanded at a much faster rate than the ability to handle temporary surpluses, such as through storage. Even if the volatility benefits some households – for example those who can take the opportunity to charge the electric car – the profitability of the energy transition is undermined.
- It's like harakiri. Everyone knows that if you produce too much oil, the price will crash and the producers will lose money. And there is no difference when it comes to renewable energy and electricity, says Bjarne Schieldrop, commodity analyst at SEB, to the FT.
Finland and Sweden were at the top during the period with by far the most minus hours. According to the newspaper, this is due to the large share of hydro and nuclear power in the countries – facilities that cannot be switched on and off in the blink of an eye. Gas-dependent Italy, by comparison, had no hours with a negative price.

Great uncertainty among Swedish companies ahead of the US election
Swedish companies are waiting to invest in the US until after the election, says Sweden's Trade Secretary Vlad Månsson to DI. Among other things, the customs issue is big.
- Especially the smaller companies that do not manufacture locally have been hit hard. It has become much more complex with customs, says Månsson to the newspaper.
Another issue where the election is expected to have a big impact is green investments. If Kamala Harris wins, the country is expected to continue supporting the Inflation Reduction Act, while it is expected to be scrapped if Donald Trump takes power.

Shots have been fired near Donald Trump's golf club in Florida.
The ex-president was on the course to play golf and was taken away by security personnel.
"Trump is safe," says his spokesman Steven Cheung.
Shots have been fired near Donald Trump's golf club in Palm Beach, Florida, his campaign team said.
According to AP sources, the ex-president was on the course's fifth hole when the Secret Service spotted a gunman and opened fire.
The gunman then fled the scene in a car. Shortly afterwards, the car was stopped in another part of the city and the person was arrested by the police.
Trump was immediately taken to safety, according to NBC. The golf club has been put on lockdown, according to CNN.
"Trump is safe after the shooting in his vicinity, We have no further information at this time," said his spokesman Steven Cheung in a statement.
The Secret Service confirms it is investigating the incident.
"The Secret Service, in cooperation with Palm Beach County police, is investigating an incident involving former President Donald Trump that occurred shortly before 2 p.m. The former president is safe," writes spokesman Anthony Guglielmi on X.
No one should have been injured in the shooting, the police told AP.
AK-47 found
A large police operation is underway in the area and the roads around the golf club have been closed.According to CNN sources, a bag containing a body camera and an AK-47 rifle was found near the golf course.
"The camera indicates that the individual wanted to film the sequence of events," a source told CNN.
Republican Senator Lindsey Graham says he spoke by phone with Trump after the incident:
“He is one of the strongest people I have ever known. He is in good spirits and more determined than ever to save our country," he writes on X.
"I'M SURE"
Shortly before 10 p.m., Donald Trump spoke about the drama:"Shots have been fired near me, but before the rumors start spreading out of control, I wanted you to hear this first: I AM SAFE AND FINE!", he writes and continues:
“Nothing will stop me. I will NEVER give up!”.
The White House says in a statement that it is relieved to hear that Trump escaped unharmed.
Just over two months ago, Donald Trump was the victim of an assassination attempt during a campaign speech in Pennsylvania.
The shots at Trump's golf course
Suspect is said to have been arrested on the track - information that shots came from Trump's shelter
Several shots have been fired near Donald Trump at the ex-president's golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida, the presidential candidate's campaign says, according to Reuters. The ex-president has been taken to safety and one person has been arrested, the police told the New York Times.
CNN has information claiming that an armed person may have been looking for Donald Trump and was on the golf course, but on a different part of the course than where Trump was.
The Secret Service is said to have fired at the suspect as a security measure, according to the channel's sources. Trump was taken away in a golf cart. It is unclear if the suspect also fired shots.
The NY Post wrote early on that two people shot at each other outside the golf course and that no shots were fired at Trump, but the newspaper has retracted the statement.
The FBI is investigating the incident and states that it appears to be an attempted murder, AP writes.
Police say the motive is unknown. A press conference will be held later on Sunday evening.

Poland has been hit by heavy floods.
In Stronie Śląskie, a dam has burst and large parts of the town are under water.
The emergency services are now using helicopters to evacuate the residents.
Storm Boris has hit southwestern Poland hard.
On Sunday morning, the country's Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced that 1,600 people had been evacuated and that one man had died in the floods, according to Pap.
- I saw a man lying with his face in the water in a flooded house, says a witness to WP.
The police have tried to pick up the dead man from the water but cannot reach him.
- Our police do not get there because the city is flooded, says the police.
Now Fakt reports that a dam has burst in the town of Stronie Śląskie.
Vehicles are swept along
Pictures on social media show how the water gushes along the streets creating great devastation. Vehicles are swept along, while people's homes are destroyed.
At the same time, sirens sound over the cities.
"The water rushes into buildings with full force. It carries with it everything in its path," writes the Polish rescue service on X.
Many residents did not manage to evacuate before the city was flooded and rescue workers have difficulty reaching residents by boat. They have instead had to use helicopters to evacuate the residents, writes Fakt.
Here a man has water up to his waist.

"We are drowning"
The town of Głuchołazy has also been flooded after a temporary dike burst.
- I appeal to all residents to evacuate to higher areas. We are drowning, the city's mayor Paweł Szymkowicz told Radio Zet on Sunday morning.
According to the country's meteorological institute, IMGW, more is expected on Sunday and Monday, which could worsen the situation further.
2,000 troops have been deployed to deal with the chaos that may await.
- The worst is yet to come, says Bystrzyca Kłodzka mayor Renata Surma.
According to the mayor, more water is expected than the disaster in 1997 in the Odra and Vistula where 54 people died.
President Andrzej Duda has called for a crisis meeting with the country's fire service on Sunday afternoon.
Polish police are helping to evacuate.

Missile from Yemen struck Israel: "New hypersonic ballistic robot"

Updated 14.13 | Published 06.02
The missiles were fired by the Houthi movement in Yemen, which claims to have used "a new hypersonic ballistic robot".
- They should know by now that the price for any attempt to harm us is very high, says Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu according to AFP.
According to the Israeli military, the robot fired from Yemen crashed in an unpopulated area and no one was injured in the attack, Reuters Reuters.
The Iran-backed Yemeni Houthi movement has claimed responsibility for the attack. Their military spokesman, Yahya Saree, claims they used "a new hypersonic ballistic robot" that Israel failed to shoot down.
The target was a military facility in Israeli Jaffa and the attack created "horror and panic" in Israel, Saree writes in a post on Telegram.
Netanyahu warns the Houthis
Later on Sunday, the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, warned the Houthi movement.- They should know by now that the price for any attempt to harm us is very expensive, he says in connection with a cabinet meeting according to the AFP news agency.
In July, one man died and four people were injured when the Houthi movement fired a long-range drone at Tel Aviv.
That led to Israel responding with a massive airstrike against military targets in the city of al-Hudaydah where three people died and 87 were injured.

Parts of a robot fired from Yemen have crashed in central Israel, the Israeli military says.
The Yemeni Houthi movement has claimed responsibility for the attack. Israel's prime minister sends a stark warning.
According to Israel's military, the robot strike must have taken place in an "open area" and no one was injured. The robot is said to have disintegrated in the air after several Israeli attempts to shoot it down, reports The Times of Israel.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is warning the Houthi movement after the group claimed responsibility for this morning's attack.
- They should know by now that the price for any attempt to harm us is very expensive, he says in connection with a cabinet meeting according to the AFP news agency.
"Fear and Panic"
Parts of the Israeli anti-aircraft missiles that were launched to meet the robot also fell in central Israel, including over a train station in Modiin between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Falling air defenses also caused several fires in open terrain, including near the city of Lod, Israeli Haaretz reports.In a televised speech, the Iran-backed Houthi movement's military spokesman Yahya Saree claims that the robot got past Israeli and American air defenses and caused "fear and panic" in Israel.
According to Saree, the ballistic robot's target was a military facility in Jaffa, Israel.
Threatens with more
Since the start of the war in Gaza, the Houthi movement has repeatedly sent drones and robots against Israel, but almost all of them have been stopped over the Red Sea. On Sunday, the Lebanese news agency al-Mayadeen reports, citing a high-ranking source in Yemen, that the Houthis are threatening continued attacks.- As long as Israel's attacks in Gaza and the West Bank continue, Israel should expect the worst, says the source.
In July, one person was killed and several injured when a projectile fired by the Houthis reached Tel Aviv. Israel responded with extensive airstrikes against Houthi targets in the Yemeni port city of Hodeidah, killing three and injuring nearly 90 as a result.

Queen Elizabeth statue baffles: 'Mrs Doubtfire'
Queen Elizabeth II is one of the most photographed people in history. Nevertheless, a new statue of the dead queen has succeeded so well in depicting her, several media write.
The bronze statue, placed next to a statue of Prince Philip in a park in Northern Ireland, depicts Elizabeth II wearing a headscarf, skirt and quilted waistcoat, with two of her corgis at her feet. On the internet, people think the statue is more reminiscent of Robin Williams' character Mrs Doubtfire from the 90s film of the same name, and according to British art historian Richard Morris, it is objectively difficult to see that the statue represents the Queen.
- I had no idea who it was until I saw the caption below. I thought, 'Oh my God, what a bad representation,'” Morris told CBS News.

Several dead and missing after heavy downpours in Europe
One person has died in Poland and four people are missing in the Czech Republic after storm Boris advanced in central and eastern Europe, writes AFP. On Saturday, five people were also reported dead in Romania.
In the Czech Republic, the heavy downpours have led to floods, so around 51,000 households in the northern parts of the country have been forced to evacuate, the BBC writes. In Poland's Glucholazy, the mayor has urged residents to evacuate to higher elevations due to flooding.
According to Zofia Owsiaka, a resident of Glucholazy, everyone in the town is scared, and there seems to be no "hope that the rain will stop".
- We are once again facing the effects of climate change, which is becoming more and more present on the European continent, says Romania's President Klaus Iohannis.

Marginal Russian advance at Kursk - triple strength
Russia's counteroffensive in Kursk so far seems to be making only marginal progress, according to the American think tank ISW. When Ukraine launched its surprise offensive in the border region at the beginning of August, Russia had around 11,000 troops on the ground. Today, that number is estimated to be somewhere between 30,000 and 45,000.
Despite that, Ukraine seems to be holding its ground.
- The Ukrainian forces seem to be prepared for Russian counterattacks, says Norway's lieutenant colonel Palle Ydstebø to VG.
American intelligence estimates that Russia will need at least 50,000 military personnel in place to be able to retake all of Kursk. ISW also makes the assessment that Russia will need to send more of its most experienced forces from the front line in Ukraine to succeed in Kursk. According to Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Russia's progress on the front in Donetsk is now slower than before the Kursk operation.
- And not only in Donetsk, but in the entire East, says Zelenskyy according to CNN.

"The Harris campaign risks hitting two big snags"
Donald Trump is likely to win the presidential election in November unless Kamala Harris addresses two fundamental flaws in her campaign. That's what Kim Darroch, Britain's former ambassador in Washington DC, told The Guardian.
First, Darroch urges the Democratic candidate to be "laser focused" on swing states like Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Joe Biden won all three states in 2020, but without Harris' focus, they risk slipping back to Trump, according to Darroch.
Second, Harris appears to be repeating Hillary Clinton's mistakes from 2016 when it comes to handling the media, according to the ex-ambassador.
- Trump accepted every invitation in 2016. He was even able to call up the morning news to give his views on the issue of the day. In contrast, Hillary Clinton shut out the media—and lost.
Kim Darroch was ambassador to the US between 2016 and 2019, but resigned following leaked emails in which he described Trump as "inept" and his government as "uniquely dysfunctional".

More bomb threats in Springfield despite Erika coming forward
For the third day in a row, community buildings - such as schools and hospitals - have received bomb threats in Springfield, Ohio, the BBC reports. Last night, two hospitals had to close as a result of the threats.
The latest threats came after the woman who started the rumors about the Haitian migrants allegedly eating pets apologized. In an interview with NBC News, Erika Lee says she is remorseful and that "it just exploded into something that wasn't meant to happen."
Local authorities in Springfield have said on numerous occasions that there is nothing to indicate that the rumors would be true. Last night, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump claimed that Springfield "has been taken over by illegal immigrants," writes CNN.
- Springfield was a beautiful city, and now they are going through hell.

Woman behind rumor about Haitian migrants: Exploded
The woman who wrote one of the first Facebook posts about Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio, eating animals is filled with remorse. The woman, Erika Lee, told NBC News.
- It just exploded into something I didn't mean to happen, she says, adding that she never thought it would reach such proportions.
In her Facebook post, she wrote that the neighbor's cat had disappeared, adding that the neighbor told her she thought a Haitian migrant in the area had attacked it. The neighbor, named Kimberly Newton, in turn tells Newsguard - which reports on misleading news online - that she heard about the attack from a third party. Newton claims that Lee misunderstood what she told him.
Despite the fact that there is no evidence that the rumors are true, the false claim has been spread among top Republican politicians such as Donald Trump and JD Vance, among others.

African migrants are reportedly being recruited for the war in Gaza
African asylum seekers in Israel are lured to fight in Gaza against promises of permanent residence permits, writes Haaretz. According to several sources within the defence, it is an organized campaign.
- They told me that they were looking for "special" people for the army. They said it was a war of life and death for Israel, says an asylum seeker known as "A".
When "A" hesitated, he was promised two weeks of training, a good salary and a permanent residence permit.
Voices within the military have reportedly questioned the ethical aspects of enlisting asylum seekers - many of whom have fled war - but these have been silenced. The military tells the newspaper that everything they do is done "legally".

Source of the signings: Very problematic question
The voices within Israel's military that questioned the ethical aspects of enlisting African asylum seekers in the war in Gaza have been silenced, sources told Haaretz. According to reports, asylum seekers - many of whom have fled war - have been recruited to the fighting in exchange for promises of permanent residence permits.
- This is a very problematic issue, a source tells Haaretz and emphasizes that the military should ask themselves what values they want to live by.
So far, no recruited asylum seeker has received the promised permanent residence permit, writes Haaretz. At the same time, the military states that everything they do is done "legally".
