Enrique Tarrio, the former Proud Boys leader linked to promotion of the event, said, “I think some arrests were warranted, but I think 95% of the crowd was very peaceful ...

On January 6, 2026, the White House again drew international attention by raising the possibility of the United States seeking control of Greenland. Administration officials discussed a range of options — including purchase and, in inflammatory rhetoric, military measures — as part of a broader push to assert U.S. influence in the Arctic, according to internal briefings shared with senior policymakers. The suggestion that the United States might seek outright control of Greenland immediately raised diplomatic and legal complications. U.S. consideration of more assertive options reflects those strategic anxieties, but it also risks creating a new front of diplomatic friction. U.S. deliberations over Greenland are not solely about land; they are about influence in an environment transformed by climate change and strategic rivalry.

Like Winston Peters for New Zealand:New Zealand is concerned by and actively monitoring developments in Venezuela and expects all parties to act in accordance with international law. The US action is another step towards a world of violence and instability where might takes precedence over international law. “We regarded Maduro as an illegitimate president and we shed no tears about the end of his regime” Starmer said. He then reiterated his support for international law but neglected to say if he thought international law had actually been breached. The American actions in Venezuela overnight are unorthodox and contrary to international law”.

The Welsh Liberal Democrats are proud to have championed the Swansea Bay Tidal Lagoon in government and out of it.

A near-complete Iron Age battle trumpet, called a carnyx, which was discovered in Norfolk (Norfolk Museum Service/PA)This newly excavated example is one of only three known from Britain and is one of the most complete found in Europe, Historic England said.
