Russian oil depot ‘ablaze’ amid new drone assault
Day 1,429. Today, as President Trump prompts further outrage with his claim NATO troops “avoided the frontline” in Afghanistan, we consider whether President Zelensky was right to call out Europe in his speech at Davos ahead of the first trilateral talks of the war. Then we ponder whether the Greenland saga can be put to bed, or if it’s truly indicative of a historic shift, before returning to the topic of resilience with the second half of our interview with former British army officer Ash Alexander-Cooper.

Zelensky launches attack on Europe's leaders & Trump predicts Ukraine war will end ‘soon’
Day 1,428 - Today, as President Zelensky savages Europe’s leaders at Davos, especially for blocking the use of frozen Russian assets to fund Ukraine, we assess President Trump’s apparent retreat from his threat of tariffs against NATO allies after agreeing what he called a “framework for a future deal” over Greenland. We hear reaction from the island itself, before speaking to the author of a new book on building mental resilience – an antidote to these stressful times.
