Sweden's government has announced what they say is a long-term solution to the issue of teen deportations, but those impacted say it's not enough.

Listen to hear from Shahrdad Sherbabaki, one of the young people who received a deportation order due to existing migration laws, which prevent the children of foreign residents from receiving family-based visas once they turn 18.

Also: A Sweden Democrat MP has resigned and quit the Riksdag after it emerged he was under investigation for child pornography offences.

And: We hear new details about how the Migration Agency intends to handle citizenship applications from next week, once tougher eligibility rules come into effect.
