Radio Sweden Weekly: Latest on triple shooting in Uppsala

This week, we begin with the shocking triple murder in central Uppsala, where three young men were shot dead inside a barbershop. We bring you the latest updates.

We also look at the sudden resignation of Johan Pehrson, leader of the Liberal Party, and what it means for Sweden's political center. Political writers Annie Reutersköld and Torbjörn Nilsson weigh in on the party’s future—and the possibility of a merger with the Centre Party.

Then, we ask if Sweden could face a major blackout, like the one that hit Spain and Portugal this week. MSB's Jan-Olof Olsson explains how ready Sweden really is — and why having cash and a transistor radio might still matter.

Finally, we hear from Swedish Radio's Victor Jensen about Volvo Cars plan to cut SEK 18 billion in costs, a move that may lead to major layoffs in Gothenburg and beyond.
