News outlets, including Ilta-Sanomat, report on Russian President Vladimir Putin's latest comments suggesting that Sweden and Finland's entry into Nato was "a meaningless step" in terms of the countries' national interests.
Speaking to Russian state media, he warned that Russia will deploy troops and systems of destruction to the Finnish border.
"We didn't have troops there (at the Finnish border), now they will be there. There were no systems of destruction there, now they will appear," he said.
Large-scale drills led by Norway and involving Nato countries have been taking place across the northern regions of Finland, Sweden and Norway.
IS notes that Putin is certain to win Russia's presidential election this coming weekend.
Wealthy weight loss
Like in many other places, the anti-obesity drug market is booming in Finland. But not everyone can afford the weight-loss drugs, according to Hufvudstadsbladet.
Ozempic costs 115 euros a month, whereas Wegovy is far more expensive.
Danish drugmaker Novo Nordisk has yet to officially launch Wegovy in Finland. This means sales happen via parallel imports — companies purchase Wegovy from other European countries and sell the medication on the Finnish market at a much higher price.
"Wegovy costs up to 500 euros per month for patients. A large portion cannot afford the medication," Helsinki University Hospital obesity expert Milla Rosengård-Bärlund told HBL.
Boring play?
The trend for muted tones in kids' clothes, toys and bedrooms has drawn criticism lately and now parents are wondering why parks seem to lack primary colours.
Helsingin Sanomat follows up on its reporting that Finnish kids' parks are often like November weather: "pale, anaemic and predictable." In Helsinki's Kannelmäki district, the city refurbished a playground, and the end result is entirely brown. The redo's price tag was around 800,000 euros.
One play equipment supplier told the paper that earthen colour themes were down to Finns' love for wooden building materials. Parks also tend to follow a certain formula: there's generally a sandbox and a straight line of swings.
"Could there perhaps be one large piece of equipment instead, instead of trying to place all the traditional equipment in the same place?" asked Sanna Korte of equipment manufacturer Leikkiset.
