The Danish PM was in Nuuk today to formally apologise to the Inuit women of Greenland who Danish doctors inserted contraceptive coils into without their consent or knowledge.

I met one of the victims, Arnaq, in Greenland earlier this month, and put together her story for @news.dw.com

Copenhagen Airport closed due to “drone activity”.

This is my (already massively rescheduled) flight circling over Helsingborg where we’re supposed to land soon.

An awful week for Scandinavian air travel.

The Commission faces criticism over the Q&A format used in the interview, which allowed von der Leyen's team to send written replies without follow-up.

"The format agreed was the format agreed, and that's all we have to say on the topic," says spokesperson.

During his virtual address to EU leaders, President Zelenskyy called for a $30 price cap on Russian oil, much lower than the $45 proposed by the European Commission.

"A cap of $30 per barrel is needed to block Russia's ability to fund its aggression," he said. #EUCO

NEW: The Vatican has just released this photo of the Pope, the first we are seeing of him since his hospitalisation.

It's from behind, but he's sat upright in a wheelchair and doesn't appear to have any ventilation apparatus attached.

The photo is taken in the chapel of Gemilli Hospital in Rome.
