Sweden considers emergency closure of bridge to Denmark
Sweden wants a bill to pass allowing them to stop traffic on one of the busiest bridges used by commuters- the Oresund Bridge. It is used by 20,000 road commuters a day and is the main entry route to immigrants seeking asylum in Sweden. This would allow the bridge to be closed, and only trains will continue to run. However, the train time is expected to double so police can carry out passenger checks.

Congo rebel leader armed by British ally pleads innocent to war crimes charges
An African rebel leader claimed to be a “soldier” not an “infamous killer” after receiving weapons and recruits from a British Ally. Ntaganda was accused for 13 counts of alleged war crimes and five crimes against humanity dating back to 2006. His final contribution to the war in Congo was in 2012 for leading the “M23” insurgents who captured a part of North Kivu, forcing 500,000 people to flee. He is now pleading innocent to his many charges.
