US and Denmark reach deal over Greenland

Weekend

Available for 25 days

US President Donald Trump says the US, Denmark, and Greenland have made a deal that will give America permanent control over security and other needs in Greenland. We'll have reaction from Denmark. Also on the programme: demonstrations are taking place across South Africa to honour nine women recently found murdered in eastern Johannesburg; and the Oscar-winning film Thelma & Louise, about female friendship and freedom, comes to the stage as a musical in London. 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.
