Political situation in Moldova
The suspicion: Russia is buying no votes for the EU
Police in Moldova suspect that Russia is trying to buy no votes in the October 20 EU membership referendum. This is reported by SVT Nyheter.
The suspicion is that Russia is trying to buy votes for the equivalent of SEK 150 million. So far, over 130 000 Moldovans have received transfers that can be linked to Russia.
SVT has spoken to residents who are divided on the issue. Vera Stratulat in the capital, Chisinau, says Moldova would "no problem" vote yes to EU membership unless people were bought off.
Ivan Besarab in the region of Gagauzia is of a different opinion:
- For us, there is no difference between European and Russian money. We just want people to have a good time, he tells SVT.

Macron: "Emily in Paris" in Rome will be incomprehensible
The Netflix series "Emily in Paris" looks set to move on to Rome - something that has French President Emmanuel Macron worried about lost tourism revenue. In an interview with the magazine Variety, Macron says that they will "fight hard" to make the series stay in Paris.
- "Emily in Paris" in Rome will be incomprehensible, he says.
Macron's involvement in the issue has provoked Rome Mayor Roberto Gualtieri. He wonders if the French president doesn't have more important things to attend to and urges Marcon to "cool down".
"We see Emily's move to Rome as confirmation that our city is becoming increasingly important and attractive," Gualtieri writes in a statement to the Hollywood Reporter.

Terrorist threats
Norway introduces temporary border controls - for 10 days
Norway is introducing temporary internal border controls following the increased terror threat level in the country, Norwegian media reports. The aim is to give the police more tools.

The border control initially applies until 22 October. However, the border crossings are not expected to take longer than before.
Earlier this week, Norway raised the terror threat level from "medium" to "high" due to threats against Jewish and Israeli targets in the country.
