Episode description

The US has condemned a decision by the British government, alongside Canada, Norway, New Zealand and Australia, to sanction two far-right Israeli cabinet ministers. Foreign Minister David Lammy says Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich will both be banned from entering the UK and will have any assets in the UK frozen over "repeated incitements of violence against Palestinian communities". The US Ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, told this programme that the move was ill-timed and said the US would respond appropriately to what he described as an incredible overreach.

A second night of rioting has erupted in Ballymena, Northern Ireland. Last night a peaceful protest turned violent after the alleged sexual assault of a teenage girl. Earlier on Monday, two teenage boys appeared before Coleraine Magistrates' Court. They spoke through an interpreter in Romanian to confirm their names and ages.

And Greenland's national football team has expressed disappointment after being rejected from competing in Concacaf, which governs North and Central America and the Caribbean. We hear from the team captain.
