Summary

Fake snus The Europeans let loose discussing snus and fake news. German journalist Juliane von Reppert-Bismarck tells us all about her plans to teach school kids across Europe how to spot propaganda and media bias on the internet with her new project Lie Detectors. And we delve into the world of Scandinavian snus tobacco, illegal in most of the EU. For the first time, it’s more popular in Norway than cigarettes. But why? We find out from Kris Johansson in Oslo, and the author Christopher Snowdon is on hand to explain why this stuff is still banned around Europe despite growing evidence that it helps people quit smoking. Plus: news from Davos with the tiniest mention of T***p, and a weaponized sausage for dessert. If you like The Europeans, help us spread the word!

I'm trying to be supportive.

0:50.5

Thank you.

0:52.5

Have you enjoyed it, though, out there in Austria?

0:53.2

It's fun.

0:56.7

It's kind of terrifying and exciting. But yeah, it was so beautiful.

0:58.9

The mountains, ugh, so nice.

1:01.7

I know that's an obvious thing to say, but it's great.

Speaking of mountains, back by unpopular demand this week, Donald Trump is headed our way over

to Europe.

1:10.3

We are going to be previewing the

1:11.7

gathering of the world's rich and powerful in Davos in the Swiss mountains today. But we are going

1:16.7

to try and keep the Trump talk to a minimum because people have been complaining that this

1:21.2
