This week we have a brief chat about the Northern Lights, which were visible all over Sweden last weekend.



We then talk about Turkey resuming Nato talks with Sweden and whether Hungary might put a spanner in the works.



We discuss the fallout from the tragic story of the Stockholm chief of police, who was found dead in his home last week.



We look into why Sweden is still importing gas from Russia more than a year after the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.


In the latest of our series of interviews with ambassadors, we get the lowdown on Australian-Swedish relations from Australia’s Ambassador Bernard Philip.


Etiquette expert Sofia Larsson explains how she answers readers who complain that there’s too much English spoken in Sweden, and our panelists discuss how important they think it is to learn Swedish.
