| Ghana to open an embassy in Norway: Ghana will soon open an embassy in Norway to boost bilateral relations between the two countries.
This was revealed by Ms Shirley Ayorkor Botchway, Ghana’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, during an interview with Class 91.3FM’s Executive Breakfast Show host Moro Awudu in New York following a meeting between President Nana Akufo-Addo of Ghana and Norway Premier Erna Solberg – both co-Chairs of the Advocacy Group of Eminent Persons for the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Norlén (M) vald till talman: Andreas Norlén (M) valdes till talman
vid omröstningen i riksdagen på måndagen. Valet var väntat.
Han fick mer än hälften av rösterna
och därmed behövdes bara en omröstning. Alliansens kandidat fick även
stöd av Sverigedemokraterna och vann
med 203 mot 145 röster över socialdemokraternas kandidat Åsa Lindestam.
Norlén, som varit ordförande i
riksdagens konstitutionsutskott (KU)
de senaste åren får nu ta sig an upp
giften att föreslå en statsminister
kandidat som kan få stöd av riksdagen. Socialdemokraten Åsa Lindestam valdes,
utan konkurrerande kandidat, till
riksdagens förste vice talman.
Sammanträdet ajourneras nu fram till
klockan 14, därefter sker val av andre
och tredje vice talman.
I valet av andre vice talman tänker
Socialdemokraterna rösta på V-kandidaten Lotta Johnsson Fornarve,
uppger gruppledaren Anders Ygeman (S). Därmed går S emot SD:s kandidat Björn
Söder. Ygeman säger att Söder (SD) är
en olämplig kandidat. |

| Sverige bäst för global utveckling: Sverige är bäst i världen på att bidra till en positiv utveckling i världens
utvecklingsländer, enligt en rapport
från den amerikanska tankesmedjan CGD. Rapporten poängsätter årligen världens
27 rikaste länder utifrån deras påverkan inom sju områden, som bistånd och
migration, rapporterar TT.
Sverige petar ner Danmark till andra
platsen tack vare starka poäng inom
bistånd, miljö, handel och migration.
Långt ner hamnar Sverige gällande säkerhet, vilket förklaras med vapen
exporten till odemokratiska stater. |

| Pope advises prayer and psychiatric care to cure homosexuality in children: Pope Francis has recommended prayer and psychiatric help to parents with children who show homosexual tendencies. He made these remarks on his return from a two-day visit to Ireland, the first in 40 years of a pontif to this very Catholic country. The Pope recommends prayer in the first instance. "Do not condemn, have a dialogue," he says. He added that if the signs first appear in childhood, there is a lot that can be done with psychiatric help to see how things stand. According to him, it is a different thing if the signs are first seen after 20 years. |

| The Economist on the Swedish elections: Immigration is at the top of Sweden’s political agenda as it prepares for elections on September 9th. During the migration crisis of 2015, 163,000 asylum-seekers streamed into Sweden before the country adopted border controls. The numbers have fallen to about 26,000 per year, but the issue preoccupies many voters. This has been bad for the governing Social Democrats and good for the Sweden Democrats, an anti-immigrant party with neo-Nazi roots. Read the whole article... |

"In a world now filled with leaders who are anything but that, our loss, the world's loss, becomes even more painful." - U.N. human rights chief Zeid Ra'ad al-Hussein. "I sincerely admired his wisdom and courage as well as his ability to make balanced decisions even under the most dire and critical circumstances." - Russian President Vladimir Putin. "A relentless champion for peace and a passionate ambassador for Sesame Street and the world's children." - Sesame Street. "We are devastated ... Africa and the world has lost a special human being." - Nelson Mandela Foundation. “He is a figure I will place on the same level as Mandela.” - Jan Eliasson, Swedish politician and diplomat who was Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations. |

| Observatörer bevakar svenska valet: För första gången kommer observatörer
från Organisationen för samarbete och
säkerhet i Europa, OSSE, (Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, OSCE) till Sverige
för att se till att valet går rätt
till, rapporterar Ekot.
Före valet 2010 skickades en arbetsgrupp till Sverige för att utvärdera
om det behövdes observatörer vid
själva valet. Det behövdes inte då.
När en liknande utvärdering gjordes
inför årets val kom man fram till att
man kommer att skicka två personer.
OSSE ska bland annat titta närmare på hur valkampanjer finansieras. |
