A support rider secured the cycling World Championship gold after the Danish team captain crashed, an upset that left the winner admitting he could not believe the result. While the country celebrates the podium, the Crown Prince has been reflecting on the surreal nature of his future as king and his early nerves when joining the defense forces. The government is looking for money in the new budget, proposing a new inheritance tax while simultaneously scrapping climate protection funding for historic buildings. This fiscal tightening coincides with warnings from a welfare researcher that changes to the senior pension system are eroding the safety net for the physically exhausted. Meanwhile, the man who warned that the property tax system had miscalculated the bills of 100,000 people has been proven right; he now says he has found a more serious error. Data security experts are warning of targeted cyber-attacks following a theft of personal identification numbers. The week also brought more somber reports: seven immigrants who moved here for work have been killed since their arrival, and a witness described the eyes of a close-range shooting victim as dead. A father reported missing since Saturday has been found safe.
