A vote of no confidence in PM Stefan Lofven's government will be held on Monday

A vote of no confidence in prime minister Stefan Lofven's government will be held on Monday as politicians remain divided over rent control for newly-built apartments. Jenny Madestam, associate professor of political science at the Swedish Defence University in Stockholm, gives us the background. And Kit Yeung from the credit ratings agency Fitch explains how the vote could impact Sweden's economic recovery.
As the country emerges from lockdown, car showrooms across the US are struggling to keep up with demand for both new and used cars. We get the latest from automotive analyst Michelle Krebs.
Also in the programme, an investigation has found that North Korea is avoiding sanctions by doing business in the Democratic Republic of Congo. We speak to Michelle Krendler-Kretsch of anti-corruption group The Sentry, which discovered the practice. 
And Bill Ribbans, the surgeon who spent his career treating famous athletes, tells us how more lucrative sponsorship deals are putting more pressure on top sportsmen and women to get back in action.
