Only Greenland and Denmark should decide the future of Greenland, UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has told the BBC, after President Trump again said "we need Greenland from the standpoint of national security".

The US president and senior members of his administration have repeatedly raised the prospect of the semi-autonomous Danish territory becoming an annexed part of the United States.

Both Greenland's prime minister and Denmark's prime minister strongly rejected the idea over the weekend.

Greenland's Prime Minister Jens Frederik Nielsen responded to Trump's latest comments by saying "that's enough now" and described the notion of US control over the island as a "fantasy".

K-beauty is one of the biggest industries in South Korea, where the pressure to look almost flawless has always been huge in a highly competitive society.

In the first half of 2025, South Korea overtook France, the birthplace of modern cosmetics, to become the world's second-largest exporter of beauty products, after the United States.

Social media has been central to this shift. Products launched in Seoul are on TikTok and Instagram feeds in the US, UK, India and Australia instantly.

There are however growing concerns about the social impact of beauty ideals, particularly on young people. Experts warn that constant exposure to skincare content online can fuel anxiety and excessive spending.

Donald Trump has warned Venezuela's new leader Delcy Rodríguez she could "pay a very big price, probably bigger than Maduro" if she "doesn't do what's right".

His comments to US magazine The Atlantic came as the country's deposed president Nicolás Maduro was set to appear in a New York court on Monday.

Rodríguez, who served as Maduro's vice president, will be sworn in as president on Monday in Caracas, at 08:00 local time (12:00 GMT).

The US accuses Maduro, who is charged with drug trafficking and weapons offences, of running a "narco-terrorist" regime, a claim he denies.

Donald Trump has issued a new threat against Venezuela, telling interim leader Delcy Rodríguez she will "pay a very big price” if she does not cooperate with the United States.

It follows the US attack on the country and seizure of its president Nicolás Maduro, who has been flown to New York to face drugs trafficking charges.

Ms Rodriguez, who served as vice-president under Mr Maduro, has publicly condemned the American operation, describing his capture as an atrocity and saying Venezuela will defend itself. However Donald Trump said in a new interview: “If she doesn’t do what’s right, she is going to pay a very big price, probably bigger than Maduro.”

He had previously said that the US was going to “run Venezuela” for the time being and has repeatedly stated that the US plans to control the country’s vast oil reserves. The Trump administration has made clear that it is ready to carry out a further attack on Venezuela and has massed a large military presence in the region.

Nicolás Maduro is being held in jail in New York and is expected to be brought before a court shortly on charges of drug trafficking and what the Trump administration describes as "narco-terrorism".

Clive Myrie presents BBC News at Ten reporting by Tom Bateman, Vanessa Silva, Ione Wells, Nada Tawfik and Jeremy Bowen.
