US announces deal on Greenland security

The deal comes after months of threats by President Trump to 'take' Greenland

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.
