View descriptionShare

We’re joined by Marc Adelman in Los Angeles to get the latest on the California wildfires as they go from bad to worse. Then: the reaction from Europe as US president-elect Donald Trump threatens to seize Greenland on the grounds of national security. Also on the programme: after Syria’s new leader refrains from shaking the hand of Germany’s top diplomat, we ask how important handshakes are for diplomacy and a new study shows 40 per cent of Germans are worried about their political future ahead of federal elections in February. Plus: sales of music in the UK hit an all-time high.
