Es ist ein riesiges Territorium. 56.000 Menschen leben hier, aber es ist die gröĂte Insel der Welt. Und eines der Dinge, die hier fĂŒr die Vereinigten Staaten wirklich wichtig sind, ist der Fakt, dass es riesige Mengen von unabhĂ€ngigen Ressourcen auf dieser Insel gibt. Vor allem spreche ich ĂŒber Ălreserven und Mineralreserven, die natĂŒrlich wichtig fĂŒr advanced technologies global sind.

Now, Greenlanders, as you mentioned, are unhappy. They have pushed back a lot against this visit. And that's meant that the visit has changed markedly from the bells and whistles, cultural fun affair that it was supposed to be to something far more perfunctory. Mr. Vance, the Vice President, and his wife, Usha, will be visiting the military space base in the northwest of the island.

And they'll be joined also by Mike Waltz, National Security Advisor, and also the Energy Secretary, Chris Wright. Now, as your previous guest mentioned, there is a defense treaty between the United States and Denmark, signed in the 1950s, which means that the United States can, if it wants, expand itself internationally.

Does anyone in Greenland seriously believe that President Trump will take over the island? I don't think it's a matter of seriously believing or not seriously believing. I think Greenlanders are very, very upset by this. I've Greenland is not for sale. They say they feel very uneasy about the political agenda that they believe is behind this visit.

Now, Greenland has a very complicated relationship with Denmark. Of course, it is a semi-autonomous region of Denmark. And it's trying in its way to move further and further forward. Vielen Dank. Mariam Mashiri

Information has been very difficult to get because this is in a remote area with very limited mobile phone coverage. Even families who are trying to reach those on board are having difficulty. But the information we do have has so far been from security sources.

Now, we have also spoken to a railway police officer who said he was standing guard and witnessed militants firing rockets at the train when the attack happened. He said he and other security officials also fired back for nearly an hour and a half before they were caught. And he claims he saw dozens of dead bodies with attackers killing both military personnel and civilians.

Now, again, this is not something that we've been able to independently verify personally. But this is testimony from an eyewitness rather than just the security sources who have been releasing information. So it's giving us a bit more of a picture. And it also is a reminder that this is very much an active operation. The Baloch Liberation Army, the separatist militant group,

that has claimed this attack, claims that it is still in control of the train. And as far as what we've been able to gather, the BBC has seen a carriage that was loaded with empty wooden coffins at Quetta railway station. And official sources have told us that it was headed towards the nearest railway station to the hijacking.

And so as all of this is happening, the information is still being tightly controlled, but we are getting a sense of of the situation and clearly it's still very much an ongoing one with a lot at stake.
