BBC OSAvailable for 29 days
There's been an angry backlash to the US president's claims that NATO allies avoided the frontline during the conflict. The issue of territory is expected to dominate the first three-way talks between the United States, Russia and Ukraine since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion. Our chief international correspondent reflects on this week's developments involving Greenland, Ukraine, Nato and Iran. We speak to BBC Verify about the investigation into dozens of sanctioned Russian oil tankers which have been sailing through the English Channel this year. We speak to casting directors about their craft, as the first-ever Oscar nominees for Achievement in Casting were announced on Thursday. Presenter: James Reynolds.
