Danish train was traveling at ‘relatively high speed' when it hit farm truck: Police
Danish police said Saturday that an express train that struck a farm truck, killing one person and injuring 27, was traveling at a 'relatively high speed' when the collision occurred. The drivers of both the train and the truck were among those critically injured in Friday's crash at a railway crossing in Bjerndrup, southwest Denmark. Police said a 60-year-old woman was killed, while five of the 27 injured remain in critical condition. The train, which was traveling from Copenhagen to the western town of Sønderborg, hit the truck as it crossed the tracks at a site without a barrier. Authorities said the investigation will determine whether the light and sound signals at the crossing were functioning at the time. Local media reported that a similar accident occurred in July just three kilometers (two miles) away, when a 24-year-old driver was killed after his car was struck by a train at another crossing.

Hong Kong democrat Jimmy Lai trial delayed over heart problems
The closing submissions in a national security trial against Hong Kong pro-democracy businessman Jimmy Lai were delayed on Friday after his lawyer said he had suffered heart palpitations. The closing submissions will recommence on Monday after the court adjourned to allow Lai, 77, to obtain medication and a heart monitor. Lai, who founded the Apple Daily newspaper that was forced to close after a police raid and asset freeze in June 2021, has pleaded not guilty to two charges of conspiracy to collude with foreign forces, and a charge of conspiracy to publish seditious material. Some Western governments, including the US, have called for Lai's immediate release, saying the trial is politically motivated under a years-long national security crackdown in the China-ruled financial hub. US President Donald Trump said in a media interview on Thursday that he would 'do everything I can to save him.'
