BBC OS

Available for 29 days

President Trump has told the World Economic Forum the United States won't use force to take Greenland, but he's demanded immediate negotitations for the US to acquire the island. We speak to our correspondents and regional analysts. We also speak to local hotel owners and tour guides in Greenland about how the spotlight is affecting tourism on the island. And we hear about new research suggesting that mixing different types of exercise could be the key to a longer life. Presenter: James Reynolds.
