Riots turn violent in Swedish city of Norrkoping

Riots in the Swedish city of Norrkoping have turned bloody after protestors were hit by police bullets during a clash between the two groups.

Three people have been injured during the demonstration which was sparked by the Quran being burnt in several Swedish towns over the Easter weekend.

Some towns saw counter-protestors attack police even before the planned right-win extremist protests.

The country’s Prime Minister has spoken out against the violence.

Police have released an online statement declaring that three people “seem to have been hit by ricochets and are now being cared for in hospital. All three injured are arrested on suspicion of crime”.

The situation seemed to have subsided by Sunday evening.

Clashes between police and protestors have lasted for days with multiple police officers being injured and a number of vehicles torched as a result.

Meta’s AI glasses launch stumbles with demo failures, raising doubts about the technology’s readiness and future integration.

Mark Zuckerberg has unveiled Meta’s first so-called AI glasses, promising a crisp high-resolution display and futuristic wristband controls. But what should have been a triumph quickly turned awkward.

The $799 Meta Ray-Ban Display was billed as a breakthrough, yet the much-hyped live demo stumbled. The glasses ignored instructions during a cooking demonstration, and Zuckerberg’s Neural Band failed to answer a call from his CTO, forcing a clumsy workaround on stage.

Zuckerberg blamed WiFi issues, but the misfires raised doubts over whether Meta’s glasses are ready for prime time. For now, the vision of seamlessly blending AI with everyday eyewear seems more promise than reality.

Trump claims Kimmel’s suspension due to ratings, while Democrats call it an attack on free speech amid political tensions.

Donald Trump has claimed Jimmy Kimmel was taken off air because of poor ratings, as Democrats accuse the move of being an attack on free speech.

Jimmy Kimmel Live, a late-night staple since 2003 on Disney-owned ABC, was suddenly suspended after the host criticised Trump’s response to the murder of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk.

The outspoken comedian, a frequent critic of Trump, mocked the former president’s reaction, sparking outrage among ABC’s local affiliates who pulled the show from their schedules.
