Following the 2014 general election, political turmoil and a government crisis ensue. When the Sweden Democrats—the third-largest party—vote in favor of the Alliance’s budget proposal, Prime Minister Stefan Löfven calls for a snap election. SVT political reporter Pontus Mattsson follows ministers, opposition politicians, and ordinary party members from election night through to the announcement between Christmas and New Year’s that the snap election has been cancelled.

In "Byt ut dom!", debater and former Member of Parliament Jan Emanuel, current Member of Parliament Annika Strandhäll (S), and DN’s domestic politics commentator Tomas Ramberg discuss what really remains of social democratic politics and what the party wants going forward. Is it time to replace the Social Democratic leadership? And what does the comedian Özz Nujen really think about the party?

Patricio Galvey is in the middle of an almost unimaginable nightmare.

His seven grandchildren, aged 1 to 8, are now stuck in a prison camp in the war-torn country. The 50-year-old Swedish-Chilean Patricio has one mission: to get them out.
