Sweden's leader Stefan Lofven has lost a confidence vote following a rent control dispute. The ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s Maddy Savage explains the background, and we get analysis from Jonas Hinnfors, professor of political science at the University of Gothenburg. Also in the programme, the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s Manuela Saragosa asks how Gaza might go about reconstructing, following last month's violence between Israel and Hamas.
