Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
The United States has been granted permanent control over security in Greenland following an agreement between the US and Denmark, giving President Trump oversight of military activity in the Danish territory and the ability to increase the US presence there. The deal, due to be signed next week, is hoped to ease tensions with NATO allies after Trump had threatened to seize Greenland by force.
Nearly 300 people were evacuated from the Grand Burstin hotel in Folkestone, Kent, after a fire broke out in the basement at around 1 a.m. No injuries were reported, and the cause is under investigation. Separately, Earl Spencer has reiterated claims in his new book that King Charles told him Diana would be forgotten soon enough after her death, and that Charles told Diana he didn't love her before their wedding.
Pro-Palestine protests are planned outside Ed Sheeran's concert in Philadelphia after rapper Macklemore was dropped from the lineup following pro-Palestinian comments; all of Sheeran's remaining supporting acts quit in protest. More than £100,000 has been raised for the family of three-year-old Noah Woods, who went missing from a playground in Suffolk and was found dead in a pond a day later.
