1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:05,120
SVT must save several hundred million
and this week 141 people were notified.

2
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:09,080
Now that just didn't matter
with the savings requirements to do, but I said:

3
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,040
141 people have to go,
and I'll start with you.

4
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:14,160
Remove the camera and get out of here.

5
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,800
Hello, ladies.
I sat on the cross only for a short time.

6
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,920
Then I had to do this.
Good evening!

7
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:35,040
Today is Friday.
On Tuesday I was at the Strawberry Arena

8
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,960
for a historic night of football
when Sweden qualified for the WC.

9
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:39,920
So was the prime minister.

10
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,800
However, not without
that there was a small incident.

11
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,120
Yes, the Prime Minister
was in place in the dressing room

12
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:58,520
and was completely sprayed down
of a young dashing noble boy.

13
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,520
Put away that filth,
have I said!

14
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,640
I have won the Great Journalism Award
- level up, dammit.

15
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,200
But Sweden is ready for the football World Cup
after a feat against Poland.

16
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:10,880
So now it will be
another WC summer in the USA.

17
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:15,480
SR called up the bronze hero from –94,
Thomas Ravelli, for travel tips.

18
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,760
With your experience from the US,
WC bronze –94...

19
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:22,480
Do you have any tips for this national team?
who will go west this summer?

20
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,240
It's the preparations
which are so very important.

21
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:33,320
Investigating where to live,
how to exercise, food... Everything like that.

22
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:38,840
I love Ravelli, but I don't know
– should one really ask him?

23
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,320
I mean, you might
don't have super up-to-date travel tips

24
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:47,040
about the clothes you were last wearing
was there, seen in this context:

25
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,400
A pair of used socks
in Antikrundan.

26
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,040
Do they really belong here?

27
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,480
Good man,
because they belong together with this one.

28
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:59,400
Would that be the match venue
which was used in the quarter-finals

29
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,320
then I think we are talking enormous values.

30
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:07,040
You don't want travel tips from anyone
which is an object in Antikrundan.

31
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,440
Maybe things have happened since the last time.
How do such tips even sound?

32
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,440
“Before you go to America
is it of the utmost importance"

33
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,520
"to book a boat ticket on time."

34
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:19,120
"They're outrageously expensive, so I recom-
dere that you go down to the port"

35
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,920
"and win tickets in games of chance."

36
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:26,080
Another who was present at the match
was the son Tobias Baudin.

37
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,840
He used the match
to little political influence

38
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,600
speaking of the match
was shown on a pay channel.

39
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:33,160
"It makes me really sad"

40
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,880
"that so many Swedes are shut out
from cheering on our fine national team."

41
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,880
"That Jimmie Åkesson and SD
with such precision"

42
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,840
"chosen to cut back
on support for public service."

43
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,240
He means of course
the cuts at SVT

44
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,760
which in addition to reduced budget
to live sports

45
00:02:47,920 --> 00:02:51,360
also forced to cancel programs
such as Bergfeldt and Hotel Romantik.

46
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,600
Also Magdalena Andersson
went out and said:

47
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:55,800
"SVT is important for our democracy."

48
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,840
I understand that you guys want to be
please, but I want to be clear here:

49
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,240
We at Swedish news
do not want your support.

50
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:07,120
It's like when the dumbest guy
at school comes up and just:

51
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:11,280
“I have bought the same clothes as you. Now
everyone will think we're friends."

52
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,560
Man just: "No, no, no. You're ruining it
my reputation with your sassiness."

53
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,760
If you have to hug someone to death on SVT

54
00:03:16,920 --> 00:03:20,760
do it with someone you want to
go under - like he Terese at the checkout.

55
00:03:20,920 --> 00:03:23,960
You can support him.

56
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:31,680
The 28th of April has the new season
of Ex on the beach premiere.

57
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,640
I was very much looking forward to it,
until I saw the list of participants.

58
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,400
The average age this year is 29.8 years!

59
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:43,520
One of the participants
is disgustingly 36 years old.

60
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:45,720
It's not something you want to see on a beach.

61
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,600
And this is a direct consequence
of SVT's savings requirements.

62
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:52,560
These people had before
just searched for Hotel Romantik.

63
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,880
Now they have to push themselves instead
a thong bikini over the varicose veins.

64
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,560
Thank you so much, Jimmie.

65
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,080
I lower the energy a bit.
The color of Easter is indeed yellow

66
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,600
but this week it was time for
another RED line to be crossed.

67
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,400
The moderates will let SD in

68
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,720
in a new government
if the Tidö parties win the election.

69
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,760
As everyone knows
has first the Christian Democrats

70
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,880
and then the Liberals
and the Sweden Democrats

71
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,800
removed various red lines
against each other.

72
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:34,120
The hunt for the 175 mandates continues
and now also welcomes the Moderates

73
00:04:34,280 --> 00:04:37,000
SD into a possible government
after the election.

74
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,920
And thus
is yet another red line blurred.

75
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,960
And then you might wonder:
"What kind of red lines do we have left?"

76
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:47,280
If you rewind the band to 2017, we'll see
that the Moderates had a red line

77
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:51,480
against giving SD some influence
over any politics at all.

78
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,880
You know, shake hands with old people
Holocaust survivors and such.

79
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,560
That old one. That line is gone.

80
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,600
Then we had a red line against
to negotiate with SD in the Riksdag

81
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,600
in individual substantive matters – gone.

82
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,640
Red line towards forming a government
with the support of SD – removed.

83
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,640
And then finally red line towards SD-
ministers. It disappeared this week.

84
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:15,280
And as I understand it now
we only have a single red line left.

85
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:19,160
Or line... It's more like that
a kind of red circle around Kristersson.

86
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,600
A circle that clarifies
that it is Ulf who will be the manager.

87
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,200
Over to you, Jimmie.

88
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:28,640
Thank you very much, Prime Minister
and the prime ministerial candidate.

89
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,680
It was a bit like when I put
on my son such a Burger King crown:

90
00:05:34,840 --> 00:05:36,840
“Now you are king!

91
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,400
"Am I?"
- "Yes, you get to choose the dipping sauce yourself."

92
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,680
Jimmie has agreed to support Ulf
as Prime Minister, even if SD

93
00:05:45,840 --> 00:05:49,320
will probably be the biggest
the party within the right-wing bloc after the election.

94
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,920
But if you follow this timeline
of broken red lines I say:

95
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:57,920
In four years, Ulf will probably be satisfied if he even
gets to be part of Jimmie's press pictures.

96
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,040
But with this announcement
Ulf also wants to remove the question marks

97
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,960
about who really
is the right-wing prime ministerial candidate.

98
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,800
But above all, he wants to be able to show
on agreement on their side of politics.

99
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,440
That was the overall message
- in the right block we are friends!

100
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,240
But are they really?
One of the four party leaders

101
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,120
was quite passive aggressive
after that press conference.

102
00:06:17,280 --> 00:06:21,800
I think I am both
a decent hunter and a devoted mother

103
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:26,040
and then it applies that you do not sell
the skin until the bear is shot.

104
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:27,760
Voters must be allowed to have their say

105
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,720
and you don't give that away
which is not one's own.

106
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,920
Just. The skin is not sold
until the bear is shot.

107
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,720
Or you don't promise away
ministerial roles to other parties

108
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,240
before tuning out
with his deputy prime minister.

109
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,760
It was a long time ago
you could hear Ebba so irritated.

110
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,400
But then Ulf appeared in Aktuellt
and gaslighted us viewers

111
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,120
that we had not seen what we had seen.
Ebba wasn't angry at all.

112
00:06:48,280 --> 00:06:50,760
She is the opposite
extremely agree with Ulf.

113
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:54,600
No, I agree. I use it
exactly the same wording today.

114
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:58,440
No skins are sold
before the bear is shot.

115
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,120
This classic old quote.

116
00:07:00,280 --> 00:07:02,280
"We don't disagree. You hear."

117
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:06,840
“We even use the exact same one
old quote, the one about the bearskin."

118
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:08,960
"Should two people who are not friends"

119
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:13,200
"use exactly the same
classic bearskin quote?"

120
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:18,360
"Nah! It's falling
on its own unreasonableness."

121
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:22,080
"As you can hear, we are best friends."

122
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,640
But whatever he outwardly claimed
then it was noticed that Ulf

123
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,560
the man with Sweden's worst poker face,
was pressured.

124
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:35,800
She doesn't think you have a mandate
to hand over responsibility to SD.

125
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,800
That's what she said here.
Why did you do that?

126
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,000
Now be careful what you say.

127
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:46,040
Both our parties say it is
it is natural that SD shoulders that responsibility.

128
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:50,440
To be a man who is
totally in control - a bit moody though.

129
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,600
"Be careful what you say, woman!"

130
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:56,320
“Consider who I am
– think about how you talk to the king.”

131
00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:01,000
Back to Ebba, then. You can anyway
feel for her and for her party.

132
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,680
SD has now ended
some kind of individual agreement

133
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,840
with two of the three
the intended cooperation parties.

134
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,920
Simona managed to negotiate
a referendum on the euro

135
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,800
and Ulf seems to have promised away
the entire migration policy

136
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,320
without even talking to Busch first.

137
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:19,320
To top it all off, they try to take credit
to come out as a Jimmie hugger

138
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,960
when it was actually Ebba who
was the first to let Jimmie in.

139
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,480
Why did you want to?
not be at the press conference

140
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,680
next to Åkesson and Kristersson today?

141
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,720
I had no new message to give.

142
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:35,920
The Liberals and the Moderates were
not included in the 2019 meatball lunch.

143
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:41,280
They weren't, but Ebba was.
Already in 2019, she was.

144
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:46,160
Ebba listened to SD
back when they were a small indie band.

145
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:50,480
Before they sold out Ullevi and
all the journeymen would come in and sing along

146
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,200
in their greatest hits
as "Inherited Essence"

147
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,280
and the early hit
"In Africa they dance the ring dance"

148
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,840
“because they want rain
- we don't do that in Sweden".

149
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:04,120
I bought it on single
when it came out. I was 16 years old, in 2000.

150
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,920
This one has gone hot, I can tell.

151
00:09:08,680 --> 00:09:13,600
But she has stood there
ever since the meatball lunch 2019.

152
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:17,680
We all remember where we were
during the meatball lunch 2019.

153
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:22,560
I myself was sitting at home
and tried to sell bearskins.

154
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:24,720
Can I get my Blocket ad up?

155
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:29,480
"Bearskin for sale! Note:
The bear not shot - sold alive."

156
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,400
I can't shoot a bear.

157
00:09:37,560 --> 00:09:41,560
While the right side is becoming increasingly united
in the government issue, the question is:

158
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:43,960
How does the left deal with it?

159
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,600
Last Wednesday held
Magdalena Andersson a press conference

160
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,360
to comment
Ulf and Jimmie's message.

161
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:55,280
And there were words and no rhymes.
Or, well, there were hardly any words either.

162
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,080
Sweden needs leadership
who can collect, you say.

163
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,640
Isn't that exactly what they have done?

164
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:05,080
They don't manage to collect, like...

165
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,960
They don't manage to collect
a may...a so to speak...

166
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:14,640
Parties that have...that stand for
as well as the broad public interest.

167
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,000
Unbelievable!

168
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:23,280
It is so powerful to be alive
contemporaries as one of the great orators.

169
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:28,200
With such clarity and weight
she writes herself into history

170
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,960
among classics such as
Martin Luther King's "I have a dream"

171
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:32,560
or Obama's "Yes, we can!"

172
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,880
And now we have Andersson's
"Er, so to speak, they have..."

173
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,200
"They don't manage to collect, like..."

174
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:44,120
"They don't manage to collect
one, one, one, one may…so to speak…”

175
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:51,040
“Parties that have…that stand as it were
for the broad public interest."

176
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:55,040
And with the broad public interest
she means: They are not sissies.

177
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,440
Sossar is the broad public interest.
Strange that soss always think that.

178
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:02,240
But Magda has problems here, for a while
The Tidö gang is becoming increasingly close-knit

179
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,880
so is the opposition
like a snake's nest of red lines.

180
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:10,120
The Left Party demands ministerial posts,
while the Center Party demands

181
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:14,400
that the Left Party should
thrown into the sun and destroyed, sort of.

182
00:11:14,560 --> 00:11:17,760
The location has appeared to be locked.
But then suddenly a glimmer of hope was lit.

183
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,920
For recently a hand was extended,
woman to woman.

184
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:25,000
I also have during the week
sent a letter

185
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,960
to Elisabeth Thand Ringqvist,
Party leader of the Center Party

186
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:33,200
to initiate
a "keep Sweden together promise".

187
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:39,760
Nooshi wants to get his own 'stick together
Sweden promise" between C and V.

188
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:45,840
And sometimes you have to send letters, when
the one you like has blocked your number

189
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:50,000
and even Instagram,
and even Spotify.

190
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:54,520
A well-worded letter, handwritten,
with cute little stickers

191
00:11:54,680 --> 00:12:00,840
anyone can get one like that
to melt. So nice.

192
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:05,800
But what did Thand Ringqvist feel then,
when the letter landed on the hall carpet?

193
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:11,840
I received a letter on Wednesday, and
we haven't even had time to answer that.

194
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:16,280
But we are not interested in that
sit down and cooperate before the election.

195
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:20,800
Saddest girl in the world.
Elisabeth is ice cold.

196
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:24,200
She hasn't even opened the stupid thing
the letter. "I get letters all the time."

197
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,080
"Electricity bills
and the one with the other.”

198
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:31,200
Besides, she is not interested in
to sit in any meeting with V.

199
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,800
Such a clear rejection.
Still, Nooshi doesn't give up.

200
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:38,240
If the letter did not work,
let's talk anyway.

201
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,120
We can talk about climate issues

202
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,880
gender equality, sparse and rural
politics, and start at that end.

203
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:47,080
That sounds like a perfect first date.

204
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,280
People are starting to talk about sparse settlement policy.

205
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:53,080
You start to talk a little bit about
the grazing requirement, for cows in general

206
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,800
and then it's six, six, six!

207
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:01,440
It was uncomfortable when I did that
I don't know why...

208
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,520
Nevertheless, Tandh Ringqvist is
totally uninterested.

209
00:13:04,680 --> 00:13:06,480
Why is she so intractable?

210
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,440
Why is the Center so strict
red lines towards the Left?

211
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,320
Can a person completely made of magic dough
answer?

212
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:16,280
I think there are three answers to the question
here, why they are so stubborn.

213
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:21,040
Partly the party's internal reasons,
electoral strategic reasons

214
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:25,040
and governmental negotiations
reasons. A long word there…

215
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,760
That man
has my son done in the craft.

216
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:32,160
He tried to make me.
It was pretty similar anyway.

217
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:37,640
But there are a lot of reasons for C
not to cooperate with the Left Party.

218
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:42,120
In fact, this collaboration
is so unthinkable that the Left Party

219
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:47,400
posted this as an april fools joke
this week: "C and V enter collaboration"

220
00:13:47,560 --> 00:13:51,640
A collaboration is so far away
that even V themselves are like that:

221
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:55,040
"How fucking crazy would this be?"

222
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:59,560
And Thand Ringqvist...

223
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:03,080
She lives with the hope of
that after the election

224
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,800
will crystallize
some kind of middle block

225
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,400
where pretty much everyone,
except for SD and V, may join.

226
00:14:09,560 --> 00:14:14,480
V is truly a pariah. Although C
and V already collaborate in 29 municipalities

227
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,560
and in several regions. And what
I don't know if they have gone under

228
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:22,160
in some left-wing apocalypse.
But at national level it is different.

229
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:26,960
How far off they really are
each other purely ideologically?

230
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,840
The Center Party
want lower income taxes.

231
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:35,280
The Left Party will not
to agree to.

232
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:40,560
The left party wants an increase in social security
- The Center Party lowered social security.

233
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:44,520
The left party wants
statutory reduction of working hours.

234
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:48,160
The Center absolutely says no to that

235
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,840
A little different. But other than that
they agree, right?

236
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:57,760
The left party also wants a new one
bank tax and a new property tax.

237
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:03,760
You want to raise the capital tax and man
want to investigate a new wealth tax.

238
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:07,960
The Center Party will not
to agree to.

239
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:11,960
You know, Mats, I think it goes faster
if you say what they agree on.

240
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,760
It would have saved us all time. Responds
he always so? You call a friend:

241
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:20,040
“I have Messiah here, you have 30 seconds
on you. What is the capital of Nigeria?"

242
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,360
"It's not Oslo.
Nor is it…”

243
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:27,720
"Mats, damn it! I like you,
but time is short you spitter."

244
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:31,120
But that is economic policy
which is the crux here.

245
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:35,000
The center is that party
who want to lower income taxes the most

246
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,480
and the Left Party wants to raise them the most.

247
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:41,240
So to summarize, the one side
has a clear prime ministerial candidate

248
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,960
an established collaboration and a
common policy to go to the polls on.

249
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,240
The other side sends letters
to each other that don't even open

250
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,520
and disagree on the whole
the economic policy.

251
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,280
But they have an ace up their sleeve.

252
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,960
They have a leader
who truly has the gift of speech.

253
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:02,120
Uh...
They have, er, a...

254
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,560
One so to speak...

255
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:08,560
...which stands for as it were
the broad public interest.

256
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:20,080
You know the quote: “That which
hides in snow, emerges in..."

257
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:24,280
You get it. It's spring for dog poo.
A disgusting and growing problem.

258
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:28,320
But maybe there is a solution.
Our reporter Elin Almén knows more.

259
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,840
So what are we waiting for?

260
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,920
- Do you recognize this one?
-No.

261
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,320
Do you know if it is very golden
rampant here?

262
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,600
– Uh, golden...?
-Retriever.

263
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:50,560
I wonder if I can take it.
I need dna.

264
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:56,400
Next time we find droppings we can
connect it directly to the right individual.

265
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,040
Now I want it back
that bag.

266
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:04,840
What happened over there?
It was squatting. What happened?

267
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,000
-How old is she?
-Eight.

268
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:11,160
Then, unfortunately, there will be no penalty discount
either.

269
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:14,840
– Signal elements?
– Long fur. Long ears.

270
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,160
-Up? Down?
-Down.

271
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,360
Do you recognize this one?

272
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:24,560
Where was this individual
1:30 p.m. on Thursday?

273
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:28,000
I think you are ridiculous.
I'm not going to listen to you.

274
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:31,440
First, we weren't out
at that time.

275
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,160
I haven't said what time yet.

276
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:37,200
Then we'll see...

277
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,440
-Who is the alibi?
-I.

278
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:47,400
- You are biased.
- Then we'll see...

279
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,840
How often does it happen
that you don't pick up after yourself?

280
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:56,680
-Never, actually.
- So said Paolo Roberto too.

281
00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:01,400
Weird. Dog poop all over,
but everyone picks up.

282
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,280
I have received some fresh golden.

283
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:08,440
Maybe it wouldn't be so stupid
with a little dna test anyway.

284
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,560
I will solve it myself.

285
00:18:17,360 --> 00:18:22,680
Have you ever sat at home?
It's so nice.

286
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:26,080
Much better than sitting away
or under a bench.

287
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:28,040
And more and more people have discovered that.

288
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:32,520
The number of people sitting at home
has increased avalanche-like in recent years.

289
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:37,160
Today there are 19,000 students
with high school absenteeism in the country.

290
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:40,880
To actually get to class
Swedes seem to think is voluntary.

291
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:44,360
Like that thing about going to
the school is a recommendation

292
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,400
such as paying taxes,
participate in yard cleaning

293
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:51,400
or to respect curfews.
You choose, it is not decisive.

294
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:55,080
Today we are going to talk about a special one
group that sits at home instead.

295
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,920
They are called: "home sitters".
Tell us more about this species.

296
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:02,240
A home sitter is a student
who have isolated themselves at home

297
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:06,960
been home for a long time, at least
a month, but often much longer.

298
00:19:07,120 --> 00:19:09,920
It is the apathetic refugee children of our time

299
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:13,720
children with permanent sleeplessness who
can't handle geography in the morning

300
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:18,520
but has plenty of energy to plow
12 hours ahead of Fortnite then.

301
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:20,320
And the number of people sitting at home is increasing dramatically.

302
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:24,680
Between 2019 and 2025
they increased by 50 percent.

303
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,000
Something has happened to the attitude
in this country.

304
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,600
That was not the case
when dad here was young.

305
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:36,040
Then there was hardly any absence. Man bit
together, took a horse and carriage to school

306
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,960
and bowed before the magister
every morning. It was biting at school.

307
00:19:40,120 --> 00:19:42,720
Yes, I'm a little older than you are,
young people.

308
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:46,360
You can't believe that,
because I'm so deceptively cute.

309
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:50,800
What are the parents doing? It is
your responsibility to get the kids to school.

310
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:54,120
Instead, the responsibility is placed
in the lap of the schools and municipalities

311
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:57,240
as in desperation
forced to grope for different methods

312
00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,240
to make sure
that the children come to school.

313
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,480
In Falkenberg, they have started
pick up the students at the breakfast table.

314
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:06,280
In Helsingborg they offer
teaching via VR glasses.

315
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,920
In Kalmar
have you taken help from a dog.

316
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:13,920
In Laholm, they have taken help
of a horse. Yes, that's true.

317
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:17,880
The horse is apparently supposed to support students
with problematic school absence.

318
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:21,720
One of the students describes it
like "the horse doesn't judge you".

319
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:26,400
You don't actually know that,
I knew a horse once

320
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:30,040
which I really opened up to
and told everything.

321
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:35,880
Then I found out, several years later,
that bastard had blogged about everything.

322
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:41,160
It was difficult with the hooves, but...

323
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:44,760
And in Arvidsjaur you put your hope
to a group of young entrepreneurs.

324
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,760
That's where epa young people are going
pick up students at home

325
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:49,480
and against payment
give them a ride to school:

326
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:53,120
They come to school, and we get
tank money. They can work.

327
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:57,120
They come to school, but then how
as long as they stay, you never know.

328
00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:58,760
No, you don't know that.

329
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:02,320
But then the little slasher has
in any case got a cruise of 48 miles

330
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:06,760
between home and school. But that
cannot be a sustainable solution.

331
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:10,200
Now you parents have to step up a bit.
Put some pressure on the kid!

332
00:21:10,360 --> 00:21:14,440
What does a parent like this say
in his defense?

333
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:16,320
And I accept no excuses.

334
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:20,400
When it was at its worst
it was incredibly tough.

335
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:26,920
When one's child begins to think that
take one's life, it's terribly tough.

336
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:30,280
Okay, it was a bit difficult for her
to be hard on.

337
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:34,880
You just felt sorry for her.
I saw her on TV4's Nyhetsmorgon

338
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:40,600
and I had a hard time focusing
on the meringue recipe later.

339
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,520
Don't worry, I managed to write down the recipe
but it was difficult.

340
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:47,600
But many parents struggle so hard
with getting the kids off to school

341
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,200
that they themselves begin to show
stay-at-home symptoms.

342
00:21:50,360 --> 00:21:53,640
Some parents get so pressured
that they are on sick leave.

343
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,320
Some feel questioned
of the surroundings.

344
00:21:56,480 --> 00:22:00,000
They may be reported for concern due to school
the absence, and there is fear of

345
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,760
that their children will be taken care of
by social services.

346
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:07,600
That can't be the solution
that the children are picked by Soc.

347
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:11,800
The kid is the root of the problem,
so in a way it solves the problems

348
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:17,120
but in a completely wrong way. And parents
also testify to the lack of support.

349
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:21,680
The goal from the school and
the rest of society is all the time

350
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:26,760
that my child will return. I see
not that it is the best for him.

351
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:28,640
Many parents testify to that

352
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,080
that you desperately turn to
school and says:

353
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:34,600
“My child is unable to walk
to school." And the answer will be:

354
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,160
"Your child must go to school."

355
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,040
A writer in Expressen,
herself a mother of a stay-at-home mom

356
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,280
got this advice
from the school staff:

357
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,920
“Maybe you just should be
rude to him at home."

358
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,680
“Maybe you should
refuse to talk to him"

359
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:53,960
“if anything but that he didn't
is at school. Try it. Good luck!”

360
00:22:54,120 --> 00:22:57,840
But okay if not
due to lax parents

361
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,520
why are some students
away from school that much?

362
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:04,080
This is how it was for a stay at home person
which is actually called something else.

363
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,920
Evelina, which is her real name
anything else, has autism

364
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,040
and is also particularly gifted.

365
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:14,120
Absence from school
is not about learning disabilities

366
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:18,520
but it is what is around
which becomes exhausting for her:

367
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,800
too loud noises,
unclear instructions

368
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,200
high demands, colors and smells.

369
00:23:24,360 --> 00:23:28,680
Smells? Sat her
special talent in the nose?

370
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:31,240
Is she some kind of truffle pig?

371
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,840
No, remove the image!
I was thinking out loud.

372
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:37,840
I have to be able to air a thought, but
that an image immediately ends up there.

373
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,480
If I sit here and think out loud:
God how tired I am I am. Stop!

374
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:44,840
Beach ball.

375
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,760
Tobias Baudin...in a poncho!

376
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:52,400
Prophet Muhammad!
There I got you!

377
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,760
That's my catchphrase.

378
00:23:55,920 --> 00:24:00,960
But children can of course stay at home-
sitters for many different reasons.

379
00:24:01,120 --> 00:24:05,520
It may be due to bullying or messing around,
an NPF diagnosis, pure laziness

380
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:09,120
or consequential effects from the pandemic.
But an important explanation is also

381
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:13,480
that the school today is poorly adapted
for a large proportion of students.

382
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:15,200
The root of all evil is this.

383
00:24:15,360 --> 00:24:23,040
It looks like some kind of booklet. learning
plan 2011 - the natural enemy.

384
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:27,400
It may look innocent
But the papers contain pure evil.

385
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:30,560
This is Sweden's own
Epstein files.

386
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:34,680
Not quite the same pressure to
publish them in the media.

387
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:40,520
But this curriculum was presented
by a proud Jan Björklund

388
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:44,920
and overturned the Swedish primary school.
The pupils would suddenly function

389
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:48,400
like some kind of university students
in miniature.

390
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:52,480
There was a focus on student management,
that the student himself must plan

391
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:56,400
and structure their work and
stand in the center and speak in front of others.

392
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,400
And for many children,
especially with diagnoses

393
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:01,160
isn't it just hopelessly difficult.

394
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:05,160
It's like a checklist of things
which makes them feel the worst.

395
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,640
Still, you have to be there
every day.

396
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:11,360
Did you know my child is guilty,
by law, to go to school

397
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,000
even when school makes him sick.

398
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:18,560
Because in Sweden we have compulsory schooling,
which means legal attendance.

399
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:23,600
The child's physical presence counts
in practice heavier than how the child feels.

400
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:27,160
And Sweden's compulsory education
is one of Europe's strictest.

401
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:32,360
Only Germany has the same strict view
on children to be in school.

402
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:37,840
I don't know how you feel, but
strictness, obedience and Germans...

403
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:43,400
Should one back off on that combination?
That's how it started in the 30s.

404
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:48,080
I read about a Jewish girl
who was a resident of Amsterdam.

405
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:52,120
Rugged reading. She had
zero percent attendance at school.

406
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:55,280
I couldn't finish reading,
it was some kind of diary thing.

407
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:58,960
I hope she came out of her hiding place
sometime and contributed to society.

408
00:25:59,120 --> 00:26:02,960
They actually made a museum
of her crawl in Amsterdam

409
00:26:03,120 --> 00:26:06,440
there you can see
where she sat and lazed.

410
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:10,680
Well! So we have
a strict compulsory education in Sweden.

411
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:14,080
And it does the handling
of home sitters a bit brusque.

412
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,480
Joline was one of many stay-at-homes.
In her case, it was decided

413
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,360
that an educator would come and
pick her up from school every day.

414
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:24,400
I screamed and cried and fought
and tried to escape from there

415
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:28,120
but the educator was much stronger.

416
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:35,040
She took me with an iron grip,
led me out to the parking lot

417
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:39,000
strapped me into his private car
and drove me to school.

418
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:43,720
It sounds sick.
Forcefully throw the kid into a car.

419
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:48,120
This is, funnily enough, the same tactic
that Boko Haram uses in Nigeria

420
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:54,680
to remove children from school,
maybe because they are too greedy.

421
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:58,480
It feels like there is space
for an exchange here.

422
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:03,760
Consider it an outstretched hand, Boko.
Yes, I am Boko with Boko Haram.

423
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:07,640
We'll see each other sometime
and sells bearskins.

424
00:27:10,360 --> 00:27:14,880
That's me on the left in the picture.
Boko is one of the others.

425
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:18,720
So we have 19,000 children who are well
too bad to go to school.

426
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:22,680
Something must be done. And as usual
when there are school reforms

427
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:25,920
is a party that comes to life
- The Liberals.

428
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:27,920
So what do they have in store this time?

429
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:30,640
The government wants to tighten compulsory schooling
further.

430
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:34,480
They want parents of children with
invalid absence shall be subject to a fine.

431
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:36,960
What you mainly want to access
are those parents

432
00:27:37,120 --> 00:27:40,360
who brings the kids
on holiday in the middle of the semester.

433
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,880
But this tightening carries risks
to spill over onto the sitters

434
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:45,560
and their struggling parents.

435
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,760
I'm not saying that the problem with
home sitters depend on our school duty.

436
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:52,520
But more whipping and coercion is good
hardly what these families need?

437
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,280
No, there must be
a better solution to this.

438
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:59,160
One that can make children happy
at school without higher demands and coercion.

439
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:03,440
And it actually does. We heard
about the previous one. The school in Laholm.

440
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:08,240
How can it be prevented?
problematic school absence like this?

441
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,440
Just to get a change of environment

442
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:16,360
and use the horse,
which is a natural gathering place.

443
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:20,800
They don't judge you. You can talk
and they will not be like that:

444
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:22,760
"Uh, why do you think that?"

445
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:26,560
The home sitters are a complex
problem, with many bottoms.

446
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,600
But until we get things sorted
on curriculum, trouble and bullying

447
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:31,720
then there is only one reasonable solution.

448
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,960
And it is to protect
every student's right to a horse.

449
00:28:35,120 --> 00:28:37,960
It won't be cheap,
but it will be worth it.

450
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:41,080
I know what I'm talking about.
I have been a stay at home person myself.

451
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:43,480
For ten long years
I could barely get out of bed.

452
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:47,320
They had to bring in other people,
from Skåne, to lead the program.

453
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:49,440
People hardly understood what was said.

454
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:53,160
But the constant demand for
satirical sharpness, was too much!

455
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:56,840
The mere thought of stepping inside
in a TV studio gave me panic.

456
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:00,600
But then came the rescue.
And the rescue is called Chaplin.

457
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:06,560
Every Friday he is here
in my studio as a safe point.

458
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:12,600
And he doesn't judge me, regardless
what crap I tell him.

459
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:16,520
Marcus Oscarsson...

460
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:22,440
I was wearing hand cream
that leaves an impression on the table...

461
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:27,200
See you next Friday mate.
Then we're going out.

462
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,920
