Summary

This week we hear what's been going down at Almedalen on the island of Gotland, the location for Sweden's biggest annual political gathering. Swedish Radio News political commentator Helena Gissén highlights the week's biggest talking points, and Parisa Höglund, host of Swedish Radio's politics podcast Det politiska spelet, discusses some of the more unconventional parties registered for the elections this September. And: We visit Solna to see how local politics can reshape a community. Plus: After Sweden's 1-1 tie with Japan, Susanna Andrén from Swedish Radio's sports desk tells us how Sweden's World Cup squad is keeping its tournament dreams alive. Presenters: Michael Walsh and Babak Parham
