Most of the first half of the programme is devoted to Donald Trump’s threats to Greenland and how Europe can — and must — counter them.

I then consider the turmoil in UK politics, with the hard-right Reform Party taking in Conservative defectors but failing to present itself as a competent opposition.

And building on EA WorldView’s coverage, I summarize the latest situations in the Government-Kurdish clashes in Syria and in Iran’s nationwide protests.
