Tuesday 20th January - Russian Drones, Rural Drug Gangs & Storm Bram

One year on from his inauguration, Donald Trump appears determined to follow through on promises to expand US power — with Greenland now firmly in his sights. Asked how far he is willing to go to acquire the territory, the US president responded: “You’ll find out.” What does this mean for Europe, and how should leaders respond?

Guest presenter John Lee is joined by Minister of State for European Affairs and Defence Thomas Byrne, Labour TD George Lawlor, and Martina Lawless, Director of the ESRI. They are also joined from Brussels by Shona Murray, Europe Correspondent with Euronews. The panel reacts to sharp warnings from California Governor Gavin Newsom, who has urged Europe to stand united and confront Donald Trump directly.

The programme also examines the sentencing in the fatal one-punch attack on Martin Lynn in Whitehall, and the Lynn family’s call for the six-year sentence imposed on Christopher O’Neill to be appealed.
