Swedish government toppled in no confidence vote - a podcast by BBC World Service

Sweden's leader Stefan Lofven has lost a confidence vote following a rent control dispute. The BBC's Maddy Savage explains the background, and we get analysis from Jonas Hinnfors, professor of political science at the University of Gothenburg. Also in the programme, the BBC's Manuela Saragosa asks how Gaza might go about reconstructing, following last month's violence between Israel and Hamas. Plus, as India rolls out free vaccinations for all adults, human rights activist Manjula Pradeep, of the Wayve Foundation in Ahmedabad, offers an assessment of the country's vaccine rollout thus far.
