This week, we found out that a Swedish midwife is backed in court by an anti-abortion organisation in the United States.
How would a hard Brexit affect trade between Sweden and the United Kingdom? One business owner in Stockholm has seen a positive post-Brexit effect – so far.
Meanwhile, the UK is gazing across the Nordic Sea for comfort, as London celebrates Nordic culture with a year-long festival. Also on this week’s programme, we hear about the rift in the parliament’s centre-right Alliance.
