Developing story for you this morning out of Sweden,

0:02

a shooting at a hear seal on. Kevin

0:04

Gray are UK europe correspondent with the latest

0:06

givin What do we know?

0:08

Yeah, very sketchy details at

0:10

the moment, Ryan, but we're being told that potentially

0:13

three people may have been killed.

0:16

Earlier reports suggested several,

0:18

So it's probably somewhere in the middle,

0:21

I would have thought. As the news comes in.

0:23

In Uppsala, a city in

0:25

Sweden, now it's reported that right in the city

0:27

center there were a series of loud cracks

0:29

and bangs indicating gunfire. Members

0:32

of the public called the police

0:34

saying that were gunshots being fired, and

0:37

several people were found in and around the

0:39

city center with injuries and gunshot

0:41

wounds. It's being reported police

0:44

say they're calleding off a large area of the

0:46

city. There are gun

0:49

laws of course in Sweden, but I'm afraid.

0:51

Back in February, in another Swedish

0:53

city, ten people were killed in the country's

0:56

deadliest ever mashed suiting. There,

0:58

a thirty five year old unemployed open

1:00

fire on students and teachers at an adult

1:03

education said that we don't know much more about today's

1:05

shooting, that suffice to say, there'll be more

1:07

questions about tightening gun

1:09

laws in Scandinavia.

1:11

Devin the Spain Portugal cyber

1:13

Atteck, Well, not a cyber Atteck, but a power

1:15

cut. Now we know definitely not a

1:17

cyber Atteck. Is it possible that this weather

1:19

thing could happen again.

1:22

Yeah, that's the big fear, and I think lots of countries,

1:24

including the UK, thinking,

1:26

well, hang on a minute, are we sort of resilient

1:29

enough to get through this if it happened

1:31

to us, Because let's not forget people were stuck

1:33

in lifts. The electric trains simply

1:36

stopped mid stations and

1:38

you couldn't open the doors. It was a very hot

1:40

day yesterday in Spain and Portugal, and

1:43

of course the petrol pumps weren't working,

1:45

and the cash registers

1:48

weren't working, and of course the credit cards

1:50

weren't accepted, so all of a sudden there was panic

1:52

buying with cash. There were cash machine

1:54

queues that were very lengthy, but we now

1:57

look like that are very large.

1:59

Drop energy equivalent to sixty percent

2:02

of the demand was suddenly lost

2:04

from the system. About fifteen gigawa was

2:06

in just five second, so

2:08

there's been a press conference in which it said

2:10

there were two disconnection events

2:13

barely a second apart in southwest

2:15

Spain when there is a substantial

2:17

solar power generation. So whether

2:20

it is this effort to use

2:23

green energy that suddenly caused

2:25

a problem for not just Spain

2:27

but Portugal and bits of France as well is

2:29

another matter. It does appin most of

2:31

these properties that were disconnected,

2:33

of which there were a vast areas

2:36

of Spain and Portugal in particular, it

2:38

does look like that has now been reconnected.

2:40

But this sudden drop

2:42

in power is obviously deeply worrying. A big

2:44

investigation underway.
