It's been almost three months since the deadly shooting in Skärholmen in Stockholm's south west, where a father was killed in front of his 12-year-old son. We speak to the leaders of Blåuggla, a volunteer group that does night patrols in Skärholmen, to hear how the community's feeling. And: 50 years ago, Sweden became the first country in the world to introduce paid parental leave for both mums and dads — and now even grandparents and family friends will be able to take time off work for caring duties. We hear about this change to the parental leave scheme.Also: It's emerged that a fully-vaccinated child died after being infected with TBE last year, we speak to an expert on communicable diseases to find out more. And change is on the way for the Eurovision Song Contest following the controversies at this year's event in Malmö. We hear from the European Broadcasting Union's media director Jean Philip De Tender.Presenters: Michael Walsh and Dave RussellProducer: Dave Russell

A round-up of the main headlines in Sweden on July 3rd 2024. You can hear more reports on our homepage www.radiosweden.se, or in the app Sveriges Radio Play Presenter: Dave RussellProducer: Kris BoswellAnd a correction: In an earlier version of this podcast published on July 3rd we reported on a large increase in the number of young Swedes living with their parents, based on statistics from Eurostat. However the Swedish numbers from Statistics Sweden were incorrect, the agency now says, and have now been withdrawn. Therefore we can't say how the number of young people in Sweden living with their parents has changed, and we have removed the story from this podcast. The correction was made on July 11th 2024.
