Postal train collision paralyzes Stockholm traffic

A collision involving a postal train south of Stockholm has stopped rail traffic for more than 24 hours. With one person seriously injured and the morning commute erased, authorities expect the disruption to last at least a full day.

Inflation fell more sharply than expected in October, dropping to 0.9 percent. The drop comes as an opinion piece warns that aggressive interest rate hikes by the Riksbank could lead to an economic crash.

The Centre Party is reportedly engaged in private talks that could shift the current political arithmetic, even in the event of a snap election. Separately, researchers are defending their paid assignments for pharmaceutical companies after an investigation found an ADHD expert on SVT had been receiving payments from the manufacturer of a leading treatment for the condition.
