World News: Swedish PM admits right-wing election defeat

Let’s take a look at what’s going on in the “world now”.

In Sweden, the current prime minister conceded an electoral defeat.
Swedish Prime Minister Magdalena Anderson conceded defeat in the election on Wednesday.
Elections were held on Sunday, and the gap between the left and right coalitions was narrow.
The announcement now comes as early votes and votes from abroad are also counted, giving the opposition coalition a three-seat majority in parliament.
While some votes still need to be counted, the remaining votes are unlikely to change the outcome.
Sweden’s next prime minister is likely to be the moderate leader Ulf Christensen.
The right-wing bloc is made up of four parties, including the far-right Sweden Democrats.
Voter issues in this election are related to Europe’s energy crisis, inflation, crime and immigration.

Millions of residents along China’s coast are bracing for heavy rain, strong winds and flooding.
Typhoon Meifa made landfall in Zhoushan, a port city in eastern China, at 8:30 p.m. local time on Wednesday.
In response to the typhoon, Zhejiang province closed schools, evacuated tourists from local islands and called all nearby boats to port.
Mufa, the 12th typhoon of the season, is currently headed to Shanghai. At the time of its arrival, Chinese authorities classified it as a severe typhoon, the second highest on the country’s tropical cyclone classification system.
This is also the strongest tropical cyclone to affect the Yangtze River Delta in more than a decade.

Argentina’s monthly inflation rate soared above 7% in August.
The higher-than-expected figure means that inflation in Argentina has reached 78.5% over the past 12 months, one of the highest in the world.
Data on Wednesday showed that inflation fell slightly in August from July, but was still 4 percentage points higher than initially expected.
Local economists estimate that the country’s annual inflation rate could climb to 95 percent by the end of the year, according to a poll by Argentina’s central bank.
It comes as the country grapples with soaring consumer prices amid a debt and currency crisis.

Finally, Dutch students from Eindhoven University of Technology have created what may be the world’s most sustainable all-electric vehicle.
Dubbed ZEM or Zero Emissions Mobility, this sporty two-seater is capable of capturing more carbon than it emits.
It does this by using two filters capable of absorbing 2kg of CO2 over a 32km drive.
The car is designed to minimise CO2 emissions over its entire life cycle.
Most of the car’s components are made from 3D printed recycled plastic.
The vehicle is also designed for easy separation and recycling at the end of use.
