Sweden's ambassador: The US is preparing for three months of hell
Both Republican and Democratic politicians are preparing for "three months of hell" after the election. This is what Sweden's ambassador in Washington, Urban Ahlin, told SvD.
- Each party will take every opportunity to use everything they think is worth pointing out if something may have happened in violation of laws, or that deviates from the rules. There will be lawsuits, legal matters, trials, he says.
At the same time, USA expert Andreas Utterström is certain that a large part of the population will not accept the election results, regardless of the outcome.
- There is a great distrust of the system and the state, he says to TV4 Nyheterna.

Clashes in Tel Aviv - police fire tear gas at protesters
Protesters are blocking roads in several cities in Israel, reports Haaretz. Among other things, thousands of people have gathered on a main road through Tel Aviv and lit fires and set off fireworks.
"We want the hostages back alive, not in coffins!" the crowds chanted, according to the New York Times.
The police have responded by firing water cannons and distraction grenades but have not succeeded in dispersing the protesters, writes the Times of Israel.
The organizer behind the protest estimates that around 300,000 people participated in Tel Aviv and another 200,000 elsewhere in the country. In that case, it would be the largest protest in the country in almost 18 months.
One of the participants is Einav Zangauker, mother of the hostage Matan who is still alive.
- Netanyahu has fed me lies that he will bring Matan home. But in the history books there won't be enough space to describe the disaster he caused us, she says.

Japanese hire companies to resign
Shy, overworked Japanese have begun enlisting outside help to quit, CNN reports.
For office workers, twelve-hour workdays are the norm, and many are expected to be loyal to their employers and stay on the job for decades – or a lifetime.
Therefore, a dismissal can be seen as disrespectful. In extreme cases, the managers can tear up the resignation letter and pressure the employees to stay.
The organization Momuri, translated as "I can't take it anymore", was founded in 2022. They charge around 1,500 kroner - 850 kroner for part-time employees - to manage layoffs and negotiate with the companies on behalf of their clients.
- Sometimes we get calls from crying people who ask if they can resign for one reason or another. We assure them that it is a right, says Momuri manager Shiori Kawamata.
