Stromstad police and the municipality have requested the closure of Systembolaget to keep inebriated Norwegians off the town's streets, reports Swedish public radio station P4 Vast.

We are still working from several hypotheses. One of them is whether this is an order from a government entity. This is quite natural given the target – the US embassy – and the security situation the world is in today.

At around 1:00 a.m. we received several reports of an explosion. We arrived shortly afterwards and confirmed that there had been an explosion that hit the US Embassy. There is minor damage. Police said a search for the perpetrators was underway, but they did not provide further information on the nature and cause of the explosion.

The pants have achieved cult status in curling circles, with a Facebook page titled The Norwegian Olympic Curling Team's Pants boasting more than 360,000 followers.

Italy left it late but eventually claimed a 2-0 win away to Moldova to secure their spot in the World Cup qualifying play-offs. Gennaro Gattuso's side dominated from the start, creating a flurry of early chances, yet Moldova's defensive rapproach kept the match goalless until the closing minutes. The breakthrough finally arrived in the 88th minute when Dimarco floated a precise cross for Mancini to head in.

That word, for me, was workaholism and when I heard it through my headphones earlier this year, listening to an audiobook on the tube, I felt a pang of something between recognition and panic. It transported me back to the worst time in my life. In May 2016, when I was nearly five months pregnant, I travelled to rural Norway to make a short documentary for the Guardian.

Vegard Rabban had little doubt about what he was seeing when a strange red light appeared between his house and garage on Norway's west coast one cold Friday night in late September.
