Are anti-immigrant attacks in Sweden getting the coverage they deserve?

In this week's episode we talk about anti-immigrant attacks in Stockholm and why a government minister won’t answer questions in parliament on how much he knew about his son’s involvement, until recently, with an extremist group alleged to be behind the attacks.

We’ll also discuss the Swedish language and how the words we use every day gradually creep into how we speak English.

Host Paul O'Mahony is joined this week by regular panelists James Savage and Richard Orange.
