Radio Sweden Weekly: Sweden's plan to strengthen its defence

Radio Sweden

Sweden should spend more on defence and increase the number of conscripts up to 2030, a Swedish parliamentary commission recommended Friday. We hear from members of that commission and have expert analysis of the moves to strengthen the country's armed forces and civil defence.

Also, we speak to a member of the climate activist group, Återställ Våtmarker, known for its disruptive protests involving members gluing themselves to streets and motorways, which says it's now changing tack.

We've advice for gardeners on how to manage a short growing season and ward off predators.

And what's going on with this cold April weather?
