Death toll in Myanmar earthquake rises to more than 1,000
Myanmar's military government says more than a thousand people are confirmed dead after Friday's earthquake, but the number is likely to rise as rescue efforts continue.
The UN is mobilising aid in the region, but there are questions about whether it'll reach the people who desperately need it. Also in the programme: US vice president JD Vance visits Greenland - Denmark rejects US claims it's neglecting the island's security.
We also discuss Trump's car tariffs and the ongoing trade war between Canada and the United States. The 25 percent import tax on vehicles not built in the US announced by President Trump this week have intensified trade tensions with Europe as well.
Joining presenter Paul Henley are Jeanna Smialek, Brussels Bureau Chief for The New York Times newspaper. And Mark MacKinnon, senior international correspondent for the Canadian newspaper The Globe and Mail.
