Today, Laura and Paddy speak to Sir Lawrence Freedman, historian, and Professor of War Studies at King's College London, to help us understand what’s happening in Iran, as well as the huge foreign news stories of recent times. There’s possible regime change in Iran, where protests continue and authorities issued coordinated warnings to protesters. A doctor and medic at two hospitals told the BBC their facilities were overwhelmed with injuries. Donald Trump has warned the regime not to kill protesters, and after capturing the Venezuelan president, he’s turned his sights to Greenland which he’d like to be in control of. Plus Russian strikes and blackouts in Ukraine continue. Can you draw a line between all of these things, and is there a helpful way of understanding them?

  • The United States should have Greenland.

  • as part of the United States.

  • There's no need to even think or talk about this in the context that you're asking of a military operation.

  • Nobody's going to fight the United States.
