Description:

It's confirmed that more than 300 white collar workers and engineers will be made redundant at Northvolt's plant in Skellefteå. We hear from Shaneika Jeffrey, vice co-chair of the local branch of the Unionen trade union at the battery manufacturer.

And: The government released its plan to grow Sweden's military by almost 30,000 people by 2030. Jacob Westberg, senior lecturer at the Swedish Defence University, shares his analysis.

Also: More than 30 million cubic metres of untreated wastewater — including raw sewage — was released into Swedish waterways last year. Erik Karlsson at Svenskt Vatten explains what might be behind this.
