About this episode

Bodyguards protecting Sweden's Prime Minister exposed sensitive and secret information about him by sharing data details of their whereabouts on the fitness app, Strava.

By uploading details of their running and cycling routes on the app, the seven bodyguards working for Sweden's intelligence service have been accused of risking the security of Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson as well as other senior political figures and members of the royal family they protected. We speak to the investigative journalist at newspaper Dagens Nyheter who helped break the story.

Also, Migration Minister Johan Forssell, who's championed parental responsibility now faces questions of his own after his own son's reported links to extremism. We look at the political fall-out.

We look at the prospects for Sweden's and our own household economies for the rest of the year and speak to a Sweden football fan in super pricey Switzerland!

Presenters: Dave Russell and Michael Walsh.

Reporter: Babak Parham

Producer: Kris Boswell
