Starke Indizien, dass #Russland hinter der #Koranverbrennung in #Stockholm steckt. Mit allen Mitteln soll der #NATO-Beitritt Schwedens sabotiert werden. Ein früherer Mitarbeiter von #RussiaToday und mutmaßlicher russischer Agent unter Verdacht.

Turkey's #Erdogan raised his hand, asking now extradition of some 130 people from #Sweden including journalist Bulent Kenes, threatened with further strained ties, and vowed to make not only Sweden but other European countries to pay a severe price for their policy towards Turkey.
Sweden insists it is in a "good position" with #Turkey regarding its #NATO membership, despite President Erdogan's threats to block the bid if #Stockholm doesn't deport over 100 alleged "terrorists."

#Sweden election: How an ex neo-Nazi movement became kingmakers (there is nothing ex about this man, he is a pure blood #nazi)
#Politics
More than one in five Swedes voted (one in five who voted, not one in 5 of the population, 10.5 million decided not to vote /Farhad) for the radical anti-immigration Sweden Democrats (#SD) party in #elections on Sunday.
Now the second-largest political party in the country, its anticipated 73 MPs are expected to play a crucial role in supporting a ruling right-wing coalition - if not a formal position in the government itself.
It would be the first time the nationalist party has come anywhere close to the levers of power in #Stockholm.

Swedish #police defused an explosive device found at an outdoor culture festival in central #Stockholm, after evacuating hundreds of people from the area, police said Monday.
The bomb squad was called in on Sunday evening after an abandoned bag was found in the Kungstradgarden park in the city center, where various musical and #theater events were being held.
The five-day Stockholm Culture Festival included a concert by Iranian pop singer #Ebi, whose real name is Ebrahim Hamedi, and who is a known Iranian dissident.

14th August, day 3 - Stockholm to Copenhagen
Probably slept too little, tried to get on the wrong bus from the terminal to the railway station (some random tourist bus). Also forgot to actually figure out where my bus ticket is before trying to get on the right bus 😁
One hour in Stockholm before the train leaves, so a quick walk around in the morning sun and a mozzarella toast for breakfast. I'm giving myself some more than normal slack if I can't find anything vegan available during travel time. It quite often seems to be a choice of "you don't eat meat? Well have this other animal product then".
Train journey to Copenhagen went uneventfully. Swedish trains, at least the X2 running on this route are very comfy with lots of legroom. Had to switch at Malmö, which seems to be a common thing for this route, needed to do it last time as well. Announcements are also in English and the SJ app is excellent for seeing route info and disruptions.
It’s soooo hot (30C with almost no wind), so I decided to chill at the hostel for a bit after the second shower of the day. The hostel is called Steel House Copenhagen. It’s a massive hostel, and feels very comfy and well taken care of, with a well stocked bar, lots of place to chill, games, kitchen, swimming pool, etc. And more hip people listening to hip music than you can point a finger at.
To get around I jumped on a Donkey Republic bike. It's a basic cheap 3-gear that handles like an elephant, but it gets you around. You can find them all around the city and they’re quite cheap (it cost me 105DKK or 14€ from the afternoon to evening, which is very decent pricing). There is an app to operate the bike lock, so jumping off and walking around is easy too.
Riding a bike here is great, it's not just marketing words. Obviously being as flat as a pancake also helps. Most larger roads seem to have a cycle path separated from the road and pedestrians. It feels a ton safer to cycle here even as an outsider, compared to my hometown Helsinki, where going on the road, even if it’s a cycle path section of the road, is just scary due to cars driving so fast. All the markings are much clearer too, and of course it helps to know you can just take any road and cycle on the right side of it. In Helsinki you need to jump between sides quite often and the markings are just really poor, which leads to either cycling on the road or pavement, to try and find the next piece of cycle path.
After nine kilometres cycling around I found a nice little side street vegan burger place called Eden Jaxx. Btw, Happy Cow is a nice app to find some vegan/veggie options around large cities globally.
The architecture of this city is so beautiful, I could spend the day just going around looking at buildings.
Some more exploring around, around the seafront mainly, before ending up at the Warpigs Brewpub (Mikkeller) for a good pint of beer. Too tired to do anything else after two short nights so crept up to the hostel to get some sleep.
Total kilometres approx: 990km
