Troops and vessels from European Nato allies arrive in Greenland

BBC Europe editor Katya Adler is in Greenland where troops and ships from several European states are gathering.

The limited deployment involves Germany, France, Sweden, Norway, Finland, the Netherlands and the UK.

US President Donald Trump says the US needs to "own" Greenland to prevent Russia and China from doing so.

Greenland's Prime Minister, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, said this week that the territory was in the midst of a geopolitical crisis, and that if his people were asked to make a choice they would choose Denmark over the US.

Hitting it big twice: NJ couple wins $3M in lottery, months after $1M win

A couple in New Jersey has had a seriously lucky year after hitting lottery jackpots twice in 2025.
The couple won $3 million in a scratch-off ticket less than six months after they won another $1 million prize from the New Jersey Lottery.
They told the New Jersey Lottery that the game they won — Jackpot Millions — was one of several they bought from an Exxon station in Fischer Bay.
The husband said he and his wife have had a competition to see who can win the most from scratch-offs.
“With our kids, we can't really get out of the house,” the husband said. “So at the beginning of the month, we get some tickets. When the kids go to bed, we scratch a few off. We like to make it a bit of a competition — who can win the most. It seems we at least always break even.”
