Thousands of people in Greenland and Denmark have protested against plans by US President Donald Trump to take over Greenland - an autonomous Danish territory.

Demonstrations were held in Danish cities including the capital, Copenhagen, as well as in Greenland's capital, Nuuk.

The rallies coincide with a visit to Copenhagen by a delegation from the US Congress. Its leader, Democratic Senator Chris Coons, described Mr Trump's rhetoric as "not constructive".

Mr Trump has not ruled out taking Greenland, which he insists is critical for America's national security, by force - and has now announced he will impose tariffs European countries that are opposed to his plan.

Goods from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the UK, the Netherlands and Finland will be subject to a 10% US tariff from 1 February, he wrote on his Truth Social platform on Saturday.

Accusing these countries of playing "a very dangerous game", he said the tariffs would be raised to 25% on 1 June "until such time as a Deal is reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland".

Greenland is sparsely populated but resource-rich and its location between North America and the Arctic makes it well placed for early warning systems in the event of missile attacks and for monitoring vessels in the region.

Trump has previously said Washington would get the territory "the easy way" or "the hard way" - an apparent reference to buying the island or taking it by force.

In Copenhagan on Saturday, placards were held up reading: "Hands Off Greenland" and "Greenland for Greenlanders".

"It's very important that we stay together and show that Greenland is not for sale and we would not like to be an American or won't be annexed by the USA," Greenlandic politician Erik Jensen told the Reuters news agency.

Saturday's protests are organised by Greenlandic and Danish NGOs. "We demand respect for the Danish Realm and for Greenland's right to self-determination," said Camilla Siezing, heads of Inuit, an umbrella group of Greenlandic associations.

In Nuuk, Greenland's Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen joined protesters holding signs reading "Greenland is not for sale" and "we shape our future" as they headed for the US consulate.

Opinion polls suggest 85% of Greenlanders oppose the territory joining the US.

Other European countries have rallied to Denmark's support, arguing that the security of the Arctic region should be a joint Nato responsibility.

France, Germany, Sweden, Norway, Finland, the Netherlands and the UK have dispatched a small number of troops to Greenland in a so-called reconnaissance mission.

Many in the US have expressed scepticism about acquiring Greenland. Most of the Congressional delegation visiting Denmark are Democrats, but the 11-member team also includes moderate Republicans.

"There are legitimate reasons for us to explore ways to invest better in Arctic security broadly, both in the American Arctic and in our Nato partners," said Coons.

The father of a teenager who took her own life after viewing suicide and self-harm content online has said banning under-16s from social media would be wrong.

Ian Russell, the father of Molly Russell, told BBC's Newscast that the government should enforce existing laws rather than "implementing sledgehammer techniques like bans".

The foundation he set up in Molly's honour is among a number of children's charities and online safety organisations to sign a joint statement opposing such a move.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has not ruled out an under-16 social media ban, after Australia imposed one in December.

The House of Lords is set to vote on proposals for a ban next week, which could see an amendment added to the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill.

Many Labour MPs and officials have said they expect the UK government to follow Australia's example, with several other European nations weighing similar laws.

Health Secretary Wes Streeting this week indicated was in favour of a ban, while Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch has said she would bring one in if her party won the next election.

But Ian Russell - who has campaigned for better online protections for children since his daughter took her own life in 2017 aged 14 - says bereaved families are "horrified" at the way politicians had capitalised on the issue.

"Many of them have said things like: 'this is not something that should be a party political issue'."

The government should instead be enforcing laws already on the books more robustly, he argued.

Russell expressed concerns about the "unintended consequences" of a ban, which he said would "cause more problems".

"At the heart of it are companies that put profit over safety," he said. "That has got to change - and I don't think that we're that far away from it changing it - which is why its slightly exasperating that we're going through these same arguments again now about bans.

"It's not far away - we can build on what we've got far better than simply implementing sledgehammer techniques like bans that will have unintended consequences and cause more problems."

The Molly Rose Foundation, a suicide prevention charity named after his daughter, and organisations including the NSPCC and Childnet, called a ban the "wrong solution".

"It would create a false sense of safety that would see children - but also the threats to them - migrate to other areas online," they wrote in a joint statement.

"Though well-intentioned, blanket bans on social media would fail to deliver the improvement in children's safety and wellbeing that they so urgently need."

Instead of this "blunt response", the statement - which was also signed by two child mental health practitioners - called for a "broader and more targeted" approach.

Existing law should be "robustly enforced" to ensure social media sites, games and AI chatbots were not accessible to under-13s, it said, while all social media platforms should have evidence-based blocks for features that are considered risky for children of different ages.

The statement urged the government to strengthen the Online Safety Act to compel online companies to "deliver age-appropriate experiences".

It suggested: "Just as films and video games have different ratings reflecting the risk they pose to children, social media platforms have different levels of risk too and their minimum age limits should reflect this."

Warning: this story contains discussion of suicide

Ant and Dec have apologised for promoting their new podcast with a video that has been criticised for containing imagery that was insensitive and may be triggering for people struggling with mental health.

Social media users characterised the opening shot of the clip - showing a pair of feet dangling above the ground - as evoking "suicide imagery" and was "triggering".

The TV presenters said in a statement: "We did not mean to cause any offence with this promo video and we are sorry if it upset anyone."

The clip was created to promote their podcast, Hanging Out With Ant & Dec, which is due to launch later this month as part of their new digital entertainment channel. It has now been deleted.

The video, which was shared on Instagram and X on Friday, opened with a close-up image of feet suspended in the air, before showing the duo pegged to a washing line.

Former X Factor contestant and mental health advocate Katie Waissel described the video as "triggering, insensitive and frankly reckless to push out as 'entertainment'".

"This opening visual of feet suspended above the ground is not a harmless 'play on words'," she wrote, adding: "The suicide imagery is impossible to ignore."

Other social media users called the clip "insensitive", "triggering" and in "poor taste".

Ant and Dec said in a statement on Saturday that they had "taken on board comments" and deleted the video.

The podcast will see the duo catch up about their lives as well as taking questions and comments from listeners.

It is part of their new Belta Box brand, which will be on platforms including YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and TikTok, and will also host classic clips from their TV careers as well as "new digital formats".

A US federal judge has issued an order limiting the crowd control tactics that can be used by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents (ICE) towards "peaceful and unobstructive" protesters in Minneapolis.

Judge Katherine Menendez ruled on Friday night that federal agents can't arrest or pepper spray peaceful demonstrators, including those monitoring and observing ICE agents.

The ruling comes ahead of planned weekend protests against the widespread immigration action in the city and follows the fatal shooting of Renee Good by an ICE agent earlier this month.

The US Department of Homeland Security said it is taking measures to protect officers from rioters.

On Friday, Minnesota officials urge protesters expected to take to the streets this weekend to stay orderly and peaceful.

The state's National Guard has been placed on alert and other law enforcement officers have been deployed ahead of both expected anti-ICE demonstrations and a counter march being planned by a conservative influencer.

Judge Menendez's 83-page order bars federal agents from arresting and "using pepper-spray or similar nonlethal munitions and crowd dispersal tools against persons who are engaging in peaceful and unobstructive protest activity".

The ruling, which stems from a lawsuit filed by a group of protesters in December, also limits agents from "stopping or detaining drivers and passengers in vehicles where there is no reasonable articulable suspicion that they are forcibly obstructing or interfering" with their work.

"The act of safely following [immigration agents] at an appropriate distance does not, by itself, create reasonable suspicion to justify a vehicle stop," it says.

In a statement to CBS, the BBC's US partner, in response to the order, a spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security said the agency "is taking appropriate and constitutional measures to uphold the rule of law and protect our officers and the public from dangerous rioters".

The White House also criticised the ruling.

"This absurd ruling embraces a dishonest, left-wing narrative," spokesperson Abigail Jackson told Politico. "Here's the truth: federal agents have acted lawfully to protect themselves and ensure the integrity of their operations when individuals attempt to intervene."

Minneapolis has been on edge since Good's 7 January shooting, with protests across the city.

There have been some reported clashes between protesters and federal officers over the past week.

Additionally on Friday, the justice department announced it was investigating two of the state's leading Democrats - Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey - over alleged attempts to impede federal immigration operations.

Both have condemned the ICE operations in the city.

"A reminder to all those in Minnesota: No one is above the law," US Attorney General Pam Bondi said in an online statement.

The investigation was criticised by Walz and Frey.

"Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic," Walz said in a statement.

The White House has announced the first members of its Gaza "Board of Peace", and the list of names will do little to dispel the criticism from some quarters that the US president's plan resembles, at its heart, a colonial solution imposed over the heads of the Palestinians.

There are still several unknowns - namely who else might be added, and the exact structure of what is currently a rather complicated layout.

So far, no Palestinian names are included on the two separate senior boards that have been officially unveiled.

One is a "founding Executive Board", with a high-level focus on investment and diplomacy. The other, called the "Gaza Executive Board", is responsible for overseeing all on-the-ground work of yet another administrative group, the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG).

That committee is made up of supposedly technocratic, apolitical Palestinians, led by Dr Ali Shaath, a civil engineer by training who's held ministerial positions in the Palestinian Authority.

But of the seven members of the founding Executive Board, six are Americans - including US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and other members of Trump's inner circle like his son-in-law Jared Kushner, and Steve Witkoff, who is US Special Envoy to the Middle East, but also a friend of the president and a fellow real estate developer.

Ajay Banga, president of the World Bank, is something of an exception as a dual-national, Indian-born US citizen. Sir Tony Blair, meanwhile, is a former UK Prime Minister, and his inclusion is likely to further fuel concerns about how the Board of Peace will operate.

Over the past few weeks, criticism of Sir Tony's possible inclusion has come from figures like prominent politician Mustafa Barghouti, general secretary of the Palestinian National Initiative, and newspaper reports quoting unnamed officials from Arab states in the region.

Sir Tony's central role in the Iraq war, coupled with Britain's own colonial history in the Middle East, is deemed by his opponents to make him entirely unsuitable.

Francesca Albanese, the United Nations' special rapporteur on human rights in the occupied Palestinian territories, wrote on social media last year: "Tony Blair? Hell no. Hands off Palestine."

Even Trump seemed to acknowledge the issue.

"I've always liked Tony, but I want to find out that he's an acceptable choice to everybody," the president said last October.

There is significant overlap between the two senior boards, with Kushner, Witkoff and Sir Tony appearing on both.

But the Gaza Executive Board does include the names of some senior political figures and diplomats from Turkey, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. It will be headed by the former Bulgarian politician, Nickolay Mladenov, who's been given the title of High Representative for Gaza.

Yakir Gabay, a businessman born in Israel and now based in Cyprus is the only Israeli member.

In its statement announcing the names, the White House said those chosen will work to ensure "effective governance and the delivery of best-in-class services that advance peace, stability, and prosperity for the people of Gaza".

And whatever the concerns and complexities, the plan remains the only game in town, with many world leaders pledging their support and commitment to helping make it a success.

Its architecture is further complicated by the fact that, sitting above all the structures announced so far, will be the Board of Peace itself, with President Trump as the chairman.

Names of that supreme body have not yet been announced, but the current UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Egypt's Abdel Fattah El-Sisi and Canadian leader Mark Carney have reportedly been invited to join.

In the end, whether the most vocal critics can be assuaged will depend on how quickly the new members of the senior teams can begin to drive change that makes a real difference in both daily life for Palestinians and, crucially, further concrete steps towards a lasting peace.

Major challenges remain to both of those goals.

The UN estimates around 80% of buildings in Gaza have been destroyed or damaged and families who have survived the war are now struggling with the winter weather, and a lack of food and shelter.

While aid groups say there has been some improvements, they accuse Israel of imposing continuing restrictions upon their work.

Israel says that it is facilitating humanitarian assistance, and has blamed the UN for failing to distribute supplies already in Gaza. It argues any restrictions are designed to stop Hamas infiltrating and exploiting relief efforts.

Showing meaningful progress towards rebuilding will also be a Herculean task, involving not only the removal of an estimated 60 million tonnes of rubble, but first finding and disposing of the dead bodies and unexploded bombs contained within it.

Perhaps the biggest challenge though is maintaining the fraying ceasefire itself.

Another name has been released by the White House, that of Major General Jasper Jeffers as the Commander of the International Stabilization Force (ISF).

Backed by a UN mandate, it will have the tough job of ensuring the demilitarisation of Gaza.

As yet, there's no clear road map for how Hamas will be persuaded to give up its weapons, nor any clear idea of which country will provide troops for that force or what its remit and rules of engagement will be.

Hamas has said it will only disarm as part of a wider deal establishing a Palestinian state.

Israel, whose ground troops still control more than half of the Gaza Strip, has said it will only withdraw if Hamas disarms.

How that catch-22 can be resolved is perhaps the biggest test of all.

A body has been recovered in the search for a missing girl, 15, who was swept into the sea off the East Yorkshire coast, Humberside Police has said.

Grace Keeling went into the water at Withernsea on 2 January. Her mother, Sarah Keeling, 45, and passer-by Mark Ratcliffe, 67, both died after trying to save her.

While formal identification is yet to take place, police said they believed this person to be Grace Keeling.

Det Supt Simon Vickers said: "This was a deeply upsetting incident, and I cannot begin to understand the heartbreak felt by all the loved ones of those involved."

Vickers said they had spoken to Grace Keeling's family and updated them, and were continuing to support them with specially trained officers.

"Understandably, they have asked for their privacy, and we would ask that this is respected," he said.

Police said her body was discovered at about 08:30 GMT on Thursday following extensive searches over the past 14 days but said it was not possible to recover the body immediately due to the tide times, conditions and location.

Officers said they were able to do so safely on Saturday morning, with the help of HM Coastguard and Humberside Fire and Rescue Service.

Humberside Police thanked everyone who had offered or assisted in the search.

Vickers added: "Our thoughts and sincere sympathies will always remain with the families of Grace and Sarah Keeling, and Mark Ratcliffe following this utter tragedy."

Police had previously said that, from trawling through CCTV and speaking to multiple witnesses, it was understood that Grace Keeling and a friend were on the steps near to the rocks when she was "believed to have fallen into the water after being swept by a wave".

A major operation was launched at 15:10 GMT on Friday 2 January following reports of people in the water. It involved HM Coastguard, emergency services, the RNLI and included helicopters and lifeboats.

Ratcliffe, from Withernsea, was pulled unconscious from the sea and died at the scene.

The body of Sarah Keeling, from Sutton-in-Ashfield, Nottinghamshire, was recovered later the same evening.

In a tribute, Ratcliffe's family described him as a "true selfless hero with a heart of gold, who was so cruelly taken trying to save others".

Joanne Gee, a close friend of Sarah Keeling, said the 45-year-old "left a mark with absolutely everyone she met".

An inquest into the deaths of Ratcliffe and Sarah Keeling was opened at Hull Coroners' Court on 12 January and adjourned to a later date.

President Yoweri Museveni has been declared the winner of Thursday's election extending his four decades in power by another five years.

He gained 72% of the vote, the election commission announced, against 25% for his closest challenger Bobi Wine, who has condemned what he described as "fake results" and "ballot stuffing". He has not provided any evidence and the authorities have not responded to his allegations.

Wine has called on Ugandans to hold non-violent protests.

Museveni, 81, first came to power as a rebel leader in 1986 but since then has won seven elections.

The election process was marred by violence and Wine, a 43-year-old former pop star, says that at least 21 people have been killed around the country in recent days.

The authorities have so far confirmed seven deaths.

Access to the internet has been cut in the country since Tuesday, making it hard to verify information.

The authorities say the blackout was necessary to prevent misinformation, fraud and the incitement of violence - a move condemned by the UN human rights office as "deeply worrying".

Wine has demanded that the internet be restored.

Overnight, Wine's party said that he had been abducted from his home in the capital, Kampala - a claim denied by the police.

Wine later issued a statement on Facebook saying that he had managed to evade a night-time raid by security forces and was in hiding.

He had previously said he was under house arrest.

This has not been confirmed by the police but spokesman Kituuma Rusoke said Wine's movements were restricted because his home was an area of "security interest".

"We have controlled access to areas which are security hotspots," Uganda's Daily Monitor paper quoted him as saying.

"We cannot allow people to use some places to gather and cause chaos," he said.
