The timing of this announcement means everything. Donald Trump says the US should take over Greenland because its Arctic location is strategically important. So having America in charge there would, as he put it, protect the free world. Greenland is Danish territory.

Denmark's Prime Minister, Meta Fredriksson, spent Tuesday racing round European capitals, shoring up support for its sovereignty over the island. Now, she and NATO's Secretary General have emphasised the alliance's defence of the Arctic region, implicitly negating the need for a unilateral American takeover.

The Israeli government today, they gave an update. They said that of the 26 hostages due to be released in the rest of this first initial phase, 18 of them are surviving and eight of them have died. Now, that is a figure that has been in the Israeli media for a fair few weeks now. So this was the expectation. The Israeli government saying they're in contact with all of the families.

So this is the bleak reality of the situation that people are looking at. And in the next couple of days, if this ceasefire holds, it's precarious, but it does seem to be holding for now. Three more hostages will be released on Thursday and another three at the weekend. And of course, at the same time, there will be this exchange of Palestinian prisoners currently in Israeli jail.

There's been a cat-and-mouse chase in the Baltic Sea this past 24 hours. When a Latvian broadcaster's telecoms cable suddenly stopped working on Sunday morning, a Bulgarian ship, the Vezhen, was spotted nearby. The Swedish Coast Guard went speeding after it and ordered the crew to bring the ship back into shore to be inspected.

There's been a cat-and-mouse chase in the Baltic Sea this past 24 hours. When a Latvian broadcaster's telecoms cable suddenly stopped working on Sunday morning, a Bulgarian ship, the Vezhen, was spotted nearby. The Swedish Coast Guard went speeding after it and ordered the crew to bring the ship back into shore to be inspected.

That inspection seems to have uncovered the maritime equivalent of a smoking gun. The Vezhen's anchor was damaged, suggesting it had been dragging along the seabed. Now, the head of the company which owns the Vezhen, Alexander Kalchev, has admitted possible responsibility, but no criminal intent. The ship sailed at an extremely bad time.

The Vezhen had just left Russia when the cable was damaged, and Russia has been repeatedly accused of targeting undersea infrastructure, so the Bulgarian ship owners' protestations of innocence may not convince everyone. Only this month, NATO launched a naval mission to protect Baltic Sea cables.

Whoever or whatever was responsible for this latest cable failure, it's clear the NATO mission has a tough task ahead. Paul Moss.

Just worried about the copyrights not being protected, because if it gets a bit like the Wild West, then the people who created these copyrights don't benefit. And I think that takes away a lot of incentive, you know, because when we were kids in Liverpool, we found a job that we loved, but it also paid the bills.
