Synopsis
What did the Sweden Democrat leader want to achieve when he spoke about removing symbols of Islam like crescents and minarets from Swedish towns and cities - and taking over of mosques that spread disinformation or Islamist propaganda? We speak to Swedish Radio's political commentator Helena Gissén for an analysis. And with Sweden now officially in a recession, we hear from people on the streets of Stockholm on how they are affected. We've got interviews with people in the village of Kallinge, who for a decade were drinking contaminated tap water - now they await a supreme court verdict on whether they have the right to compensation or not.Plus: a visit to the bakers, who are very busy this time of year, making sure there are enough saffron buns for everyone. There are tips for how you make them too.Presenters: Ulla Engberg and Dave RussellProducer: Kris Boswell
