Finland is grappling with significant domestic challenges, as defence company Summa Defence faces the threat of bankruptcy amidst depleted working capital.

Further scrutiny is falling on a controversial clinic, with new reports detailing a surgical incident where a breast implant ruptured, alongside chilling accounts from former clients and its connection to a recent death.
