Sweden\'s NATO application is back on track this week after it and Finland reached a deal with Turkey - who promised to drop its opposition to them joining the military alliance.

Plus, the Swedish central bank announced its biggest interest rate hike in decades in an effort to fight rising inflation.

Also the country\'s defense minister announced that Sweden would provide additional weapons as requested by Ukraine as it continues its fight against Russia.

And if you find a dead animal in your backyard, one government agency wants you to let them know about it and stick the carcass in your freezer.
