Will Sweden join Nato?
Ruling Social Democrats decide today whether to join alliance.
Sweden's ruling Social Democrats are deciding today whether the country should join Nato, but not everyone is convinced. We speak to Ali Esbati, a Swedish MP and Head of Fiscal Policy for the Left Party, which has been opposed to joining Nato.
Also, President Zelensky has promised to try to stage next year's Eurovision Song contest in Ukraine after the victory of Kalush Orchestra in this year's event. At the ceremony, there was a plea for international help from the band.
Joining Anna Holligan to discuss these and other stories are Manmit Bhambra, a sociologist and policy fellow at the London School of Economics, and Moya Lothian-McLean, a journalist and columnist specialising in politics and digital culture based in London.
