Despite the capture of President Maduro and taking him to New York the other day, this effort to interdict and control Venezuela's oil exports continues, with President Trump of course saying overnight that he would be making sure that the proceeds from Venezuelan oil would go to benefit the American and Venezuelan people and would be controlled by him.
Why are the Americans so determined to stop this tanker, though, Paul? It is an interesting question, Matthew. Is this just a rusting, empty part of the shadow fleet that has been involved in the transportation of Venezuelan oil, or is there something else? Interestingly, the Bella 1, as it was then known, was initially sanctioned by the US Treasury Department during the Biden administration for the alleged links of its owner,
to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. And so it was regarded as having that connection in addition to any Venezuelan connection. So whether or not there is an Iranian angle to this remains to be seen. But it is interesting that the Americans have devoted considerable resources to tracking and intercepting it. And it seems the Russians were prepared to devote resources to trying to protect it.
even if those efforts came to nothing in the end. So that is a lot of interest and a lot of resources being devoted to a single member of this shadow fleet. Paul Adams speaking to Matthew Amroliwala. Only hours before he was seized by the US military, the Venezuelan president, Nicolas Maduro, had praised his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, as an older brother. China has invested heavily in Venezuela and is the leading buyer of Venezuelan crude.
It's no surprise that the US nighttime raid over the weekend has been denounced by China as a blatant breach of international law, even as some within the country are calling for a similar operation in Taiwan, long regarded by China as a breakaway province.
Beijing also condemned President Trump after he said the interim government in Venezuela would, in his words, turn over tens of millions of barrels of oil to him. Mr. Trump says the oil will be sold to benefit both Americans and Venezuelans, but he will control the money raised. Mao Ning is a spokeswoman for the Chinese foreign ministry.
KyllÀ, toivottavasti. SiinÀ on Kina, Venysualan oleva yksi ostaja. Sitten on raportit, ettÀ Trumpin hallituksessa on pohtinut Venysualan yliopistoon.
Stop all sales to China in favour of the US.
KyllÀ, Tanskalle. TÀmÀ on tietenkin kansainvÀlinen laki. Tanskallinen hallitus sanoisi, ettÀ VenÀjÀllÀ voidaan myydÀ hyökkÀyksiÀ jokaiselle, joka haluaa. Kuka on Donald Trump, joka voidaan myydÀ hyökkÀyksiÀ? Kuinka iso on tÀmÀ Tanskalle? Kuinka helppoa on Tanskalle vaihtaa öljyÀ, jota VenÀjÀllÀ ei enÀÀ saa? Ja kuinka paljon vaikutusta se nÀkee Suomessa?
Luulen, ettÀ Suomessa tÀmÀ öljy ei ole niin paljon lyhyt- ja pitkÀaikainen asia kuin enemmÀn pitkÀaikainen. He ajattelivat, ettÀ kaikki nÀmÀ vuoset olemme yrittÀneet rakentaa yhteyksiÀ suomalaisten valtioiden kanssa. Sitten tulee Donald Trump ja hÀn vaikuttaa ei vain VenÀjÀllÀ, vaan myös muiden valtioiden kanssa. HÀn sanoo, ettÀ tÀmÀ on meidÀn influenssimme, me teemme sitÀ mitÀ haluamme.
Kiitos, ettÀ katsoitte.
You can stick your nose out of dealings with Taiwan, the South China Sea, Japan or what have you, because we'll do whatever we want to do here. And Russia might say the same thing in terms of its invasion of Ukraine. So in some ways these words from Donald Trump and actions for that matter have been a bit of a blessing for these other countries.
Stephen McDonnell, avoid by the success of the US military operation in Venezuela, President Trump is now contemplating something that would have been unthinkable just a few years ago, taking over Greenland, a semi-autonomous area of Denmark. This could include the US using its military potentially against a fellow NATO member. This despite European leaders hours earlier issuing a joint statement rallying behind Denmark.
But Mr. Trump maintains that the vast Arctic island is vital for U.S. security. Denmark's foreign minister Lars Laker Rasmussen said that while the security of the Arctic region was important, the U.S. concerns were exaggerated.
The image that's being drawn that there are Russian and Chinese ships right inside Nuukfjord and massive Chinese investments, it is not a totally correct picture to express it very, very diplomatically. And therefore we think it makes sense to try and have a meeting with our American counterparts in order to solve some of the misunderstandings that might be there.

Cancer is mostly seen as a disease of old age, but in recent years that picture has been changing. Take bowel cancer for example. Data shows it's increasing among people under the age of 50, yet scientists are unclear as to why this is. Holly was diagnosed with stage 3 bowel cancer when she was 23.
Well now, researchers are hoping that tens of thousands of preserved bowel cancer samples, some of which date back to the 1960s, could help to unlock the mystery of why the disease is rising in the young around the world. One of the scientists taking part is Professor Trevor Graham from the Institute of Cancer Research. He spoke to my colleague Justin Webb.
Ajattelen, ettÀ olet katsomassa, mitÀ markkereita on, jotka nÀyttÀvÀt olevan lisÀÀntyneitÀ. Se ei ole kuitenkaan selkeÀsti, miten aiemmat syrjintÀkanserien tapaukset liittyvÀt sinulle työskentelemÀÀn, mitÀ nyt tapahtuu. KyllÀ, juuri niin. Joka tapauksessa, mikÀ vaikuttaa lisÀÀntymÀÀn syrjintÀkanserien nuorille ihmisille,
