Newsday

Available for 29 days

Donald Trump is attending the World Economic Forum in Davos, with his visit expected to be dominated by his ongoing push to acquire Greenland. Ahead of the visit he dismissed suggestions he's willing to break apart the NATO, the western military alliance, over his desire to acquire the Artic territory. Asked how far he was willing to go to acquire Greenland he replied: "You'll find out". We get reaction from a Danish parliamentarian. We go to Ukraine where one million households are without electricity, and many thousands without heat after Russia knocked out power, water and heating to much of the Ukrainian capital on Monday night. And following the devastation of many towns by Hurricane Melissa in Jamaica, we speak to the Jamaican tourism minister about reconstruction and climate justice. Presenters: Anne Soy and James Copnall. (Photo: US President Trump departs White House for Davos, Switzerland, Washington D C. Credit: Aaron Schwartz/EPA).
