We look at the application in historical terms with political scientist Nicholas Aylott. We talk to the chair of the Social Democratic Youth League, whose members are disappointed with the decision, and ask the public what they think.

Also, a reporter at Finnish public service radio tells us how Finland is experiencing "NATO fever" right now.

Plus, Swedish Radio's correspondent in Brussels explains how the whole NATO accession process works.

And amid Turkey's objections to Swedish membership, we talk to an expert in International affairs for the underlying causes of the dispute.
