US announces deal on Greenland security

Weekend

Available for 25 days

The US and Denmark have announced a deal on Greenland's security, resolving a diplomatic dispute sparked by President Donald Trump's threats to seize the territory by force. We'll get the latest from Washington. Also on the programme: we'll hear from South Africa's Minister of Police after the bodies of nine women were found in one area of Johannesburg in just two months; and why we should all be taking more risks. Presenter Julian Worricker discusses these stories with panellists Velislava Hillman, a consultant on educational technology and policy and an associate lecturer at Goldsmith's, University of London, and Seyi Rhodes, a London-based teacher, TV reporter and film producer.
