BBC World Service - BBC OS, Gang violence in Sweden

We talk about gang violence that has escalated and spread across Sweden

We talk about gang violence that has escalated and spread across Sweden.

The prime minister of Sweden has summoned the head of the armed forces to discuss how to tackle a wave of gang-related violence.  About a dozen people have been killed this month. We speak to a teacher and a journalist about the impact of violence on communities in Swedish cities and towns.

As the war grinds on in Ukraine, we bring together three war correspondens to talk about war fatigue and the importance of recording the developments in the war. 

The UN says there's been a 60% increase in the number of unaccompanied child migrants making the dangerous sea crossing to Europe. We speak to somebody, who made the journey, as an unaccompanied minor, from Iran via Greece and Turkey to the UK. 

We talk about overheating issues with iPhone 15. 

The Italian football club Napoli has been criticised after posting videos allegedly mocking one of its star players, Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen. We speak to a Nigerian sports journalist, who has just returned from Italy. 

Presenter: Lukwesa Burak.
