Sweden's VAT on foodstuffs and takeaways was slashed in half this week.
We asked a shop owner and restaurateur what they think of the new rules, and we hear from an economist on the impact the tax cut could have on households in Sweden.
And: The incumbent centre-right Moderate Party this week welcomed the nationalist Sweden Democrats into a potential future government. Listen to hear analysis from political correspondent at daily newspaper Dagens Nyheter, Evelyn Jones.
We also delve into the latest figures on deadly violence in Sweden — and find out why they're dropping.
And hear about the triumphant win for Sweden's national men's football team, which gets them a ticket to the World Cup in North America.
