Residents of Greenland are going to the polls in a vote that in previous years has drawn little outside attention - but which may prove pivotal for the Arctic territory's future.

US President Donald Trump's repeated interest in acquiring Greenland has put it firmly in the spotlight and fuelled the longstanding debate on the island's independence.

Greenland has been controlled by Denmark for about 300 years. It governs its own domestic affairs, but decisions on foreign and defence policy are made in Copenhagen.

A 59-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter over the North Sea collision, police said.

One of the ships, the Solong, is still alight after it collided with a US oil tanker, Stena Immaculate, according to its owners.

One crew member of the Solong is unaccounted for and the working assumption is that they have died, a UK minister said.

Owners of the cargo ship said it was not carrying sodium cyanide, as previously reported, but had four empty containers that had once held the toxic chemical.

It followed the US president saying in a TV interview that the world's biggest economy was in a "period of transition", when asked about suggestions of a potential recession.

Since those remarks were broadcast on Sunday, top Trump officials and advisers have sought to calm investor fears.
