Swedish response to coup attempt in Turkey. Sweden to double number of troops in Iraq. Fifth anniversary of Utöya massacre. Should alcohol belong in frozen desserts sold in Swedish stores?

Sweden's Defense Minister Peter Hultqvist announced yesterday, at the coalition meeting in Washington, that Sweden will most likely double its engagement in the fight against IS in Iraq, going from 35 to 70 troops. He also announced that Sweden has invited the coalition members for another meeting to be held in Sweden this September. The tumultuous situation in Turkey is still unfolding after last weekend's failed coup attempt and no one knows what will happen in the short or long term. But one thing is for sure, leaders in Europe are very concerned with the developments, as the government purges tens of thousands of suspected coup supporters and detaining around 9,000. President Erdogan is even calling for the possible re-instatement of the death penalty, which would make the country's bid for EU membership void. Sweden's foreign minister Margot Wallström has called for the rule of law to be maintained and human rights to be respected in the government's reaction to the coup attempt.Friday is the fifth anniversary of the terrorist attacks in Norway. On July 22nd, 2011, two terrorist attacks were carried out by a right-wing extremist in Norway.

The attacks profoundly shook Norway, reverberating throughout Scandinavia especially and further out over the entire world.Program producer: Ryan Tebo
