Will you broadcast live the Armed Forces’ press conference about the avalanche accident today?
Wondering
Hello! We thought so, it airs at 1 p.m.
Hello,
Why don’t you write anything about Kalla Fakta’s review of UNHCR? I think it is very important that the Swedish people get a share of their pitiful salaries and that they exploit the needy in their advertising campaigns and do not want to report how much goes to the needy in Ukraine. Not everyone watches TV plus I think the media should really cover this.

Bun-baking Grandma
According to The Swedish Food Agency kills salmonella within seconds at 65 degrees. So it’s just a matter of cooking/baking!
