This coming Tuesday, the government's citizenship bill will be examined by a parliamentary committee which will then take a position on the reforms.
Meanwhile, a grassroots organisation calling for transition rules for people with citizenship applications already in the queue is running a letter-writing campaign targeting MPs — among them Liberal Party politicians — to try and sway them to vote against their own bill. We speak with Patrick Gallen from Fair Transition and political scientist Patrik Öhberg from the University of Gothenburg. Also: The government this week presented its draft bill to remove pathways to permanent residence for refugees and their relatives, a move aimed at further reducing asylum-related migration and improving integration. But concerns have been raised over unintended consequences for other types of migrants. We hear from Olle Hammar, assistant professor in economics at Linnaeus University and a researcher at the Center for Migration and Integration Research at the Stockholm School of Economics. And: A shaky temporary ceasefire has been reached between the US, Israel and Iran. But this week's also seen US President Donald Trump's attention turn back to matters a bit closer to home, namely Nato and Greenland. We asked Jan Hallenberg, professor emeritus of political science at the Swedish Defence University, to share his analysis. Presenters: Dave Russell and Michael Walsh Producer: Kris Boswell

It's been a week with several bombshells in Swedish politics, which has put the country's two liberal parties - the Liberals and the Centre Party - firmly on two different sides of the political divide.
The Liberal Party's decision to accept the nationalist Sweden Democrats in government has upset many people in the party, and to add insult to injury, the former Liberal party politician Birgitta Ohlsson announced she will come back to Swedish politics, but for the Centre Party. In this Radio Sweden Weekly, we hear Birgitta Ohlsson and Centre Party leader Elisabeth Thand Ringqvist, but also speak to a disappointed Liberal party politician - and a liberal op-ed writer who welcomes the latest developments. And political earth quakes aside, in Garpenberg in Dalarna, there has been a real-life earth tremor that had one local thinking a Russian invasion was on the way.

Sweden's standard 40-hour working week has been in place since the early 1970s, but with the fast-paced demands of the modern workplace, is it time to give people more time off for their mental well-being?
In this special edition of Radio Sweden Weekly, we'll be talking to one of the driving forces behind the four-day week campaign in Sweden. We'll meet two companies that have introduced a four-day week where staff work 80% less for the same output as before — and they get to keep their full salary. And we'll be hearing from the business community which is warning of the expensive consequences if a shorter working week with no loss of pay was to be become standard throughout Sweden.

We also look at the sudden resignation of Johan Pehrson, leader of the Liberal Party, and what it means for Sweden's political center.

Then, we ask if Sweden could face a major blackout, like the one that hit Spain and Portugal this week. MSB's Jan-Olof Olsson explains how ready Sweden really is — and why having cash and a transistor radio might still matter. Finally, we hear from Swedish Radio's Victor Jensen about Volvo Cars plan to cut SEK 18 billion in costs, a move that may lead to major layoffs in Gothenburg and beyond.
