Summary

This week a narrow majority of MP's in parliament voted through tougher rules for Swedish citizenship. There will be no transition rules for pending citizenship applications. We talk to the Swedish Migration Agency about the impact the new rules will have on citizenship applications. We hear from the debate in parliament on the citizenship vote and hear reactions from MPs. Also in the programme, we speak to security analyst Hans Brun about why Säpo needs longer time to investigate some citizenship applications. And we speak with some of the people affected by the new citizenship rules. Presented by Dave Russell and Liv Lewitschnik Reporter: Ulla Engberg Produced by Kris Boswell
