I used 2021 census data as that is the most recent and made with Python

I feel like it was a massive story and government officials were demanding accountability and then it just completely disappeared from the news cycle?

Simona Mohamsson is Sweden’s Minister for Education and Integration and leader of the Liberal Party. She is of Palestinian descent and identifies as an atheist. During a televised party leaders’ debate she wore a Star of David necklace.

She explained the gesture saying “I carry the Star of David for the children who do not dare to do it in today’s Sweden,” saying it was a stand against rising antisemitism in Sweden and solidarity with Jewish children/students who feel unsafe displaying the symbol.

The appearance triggered significant online backlash and abuse. Including a comment from Wali Ghanem, an anti Islamophobia activist; Ghanem called her a “self-hating” figure and wrote “May she burn in hell”

Mohamsson has filed a police report over death threats. Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson and others publicly supported her.

MADRID, Aug 16 (Reuters) - Hundreds of migrants who recently entered Spain's North African enclave of Ceuta staged a protest on a popular urban beach on Sunday, urging Spanish authorities to grant them asylum instead of sending them back to Morocco.

They were among ​the estimated 5,000 to 8,000 who remain in Ceuta after the mass border crossing two weeks ago that saw over 72,000 ‌people surge into the tiny territory of about 80,000. The vast majority returned voluntarily in the following days.

Ukraine has launched one of its largest drone attacks since the start of the war, causing a fire at a distribution warehouse near Moscow and killing at least six people overnight, according to Russian authorities.

Russia’s defence ministry said it had shot down 822 drones, while the mayor of Moscow, Sergei Sobyanin, reported that 600 drones were launched towards the capital’s region, of which 201 were destroyed.

It was the biggest air raid on the Russian capital in two years, the mayor told the Tass news agency, although the rapid recent expansion of Ukraine’s drone’s capability could mean it was the largest attack wave since the start of the war in 2022.

Russian drone missile attacks killed seven people in Ukraine, including two in the central city of Kryvyi Rih, while a Spanish F-18 jet shot down what appeared to be a Russia drone that had crossed the border into Romania.

Two municipal police officers were injured with a knife on Monday afternoon, August 10, on Rue d'Austerlitz in the heart of Toulouse (Haute-Garonne). Their assailant, who reportedly made "terrorist-like remarks" according to the city's mayor, was arrested at the scene and taken to the hospital. The Toulouse public prosecutor's office is handling the case.

The two municipal police officers got out of their vehicle to try to subdue their attacker. "The arrest was extremely difficult. They seized his knife, but he had two others on him ," the deputy mayor in charge of security reported. According to his information, the individual shouted "Allahu Akbar" several times. "My feeling is that he was determined to murder our officers ," the elected official added. The suspect was finally subdued with tear gas.

The outcome could have been much worse. While the two officers suffered only cuts to their arms, "the assailant's knife struck one of them in the neck, right next to the carotid artery, and his colleague's bulletproof vest bears a large gash on her side ," explained Emilion Esnault. The assailant, wounded during his arrest, was also taken to the hospital. His motives remain to be determined.

At least one person is dead and several people are injured after a vehicle drove into the crowd at a Pride event in Berlin on Saturday, in what German Chancellor Friedrich Merz called "an attack on our society."

Berlin police said they have identified a suspect who "is known to police" and has links to "Islamist circles." Police have launched a manhunt for the 21-year-old who they identified only as Abdul B.

"If you encounter the suspect, immediately dial 110! Do not approach him, he may be armed and dangerous!" police warned the public, adding he was believed to be wearing a black hoodie and white pants.

A driver in white vehicle struck several people before 10:00 p.m. local time, according to Berlin police. At least 17 people are injured and several have life threatening injuries, according to Berlin police.

About 10k people mourning for the victims of the devastating attack on Christophers Street Day and and on the LGBTQI+ community in general. Various speakers from different organizations on stage.
