Good for this today?

Good morning, my friends.

A very big welcome. What is it, Wednesday the 7th of December.

Charlie Rowley on the way. He's just getting himself geared up to review the papers of the next hour. But just, I don't know, welcome to Wednesday. I got up this morning, thought it was going to be freezing coal, put on too many layers, and I've been sweating like a pig for the last period. There is though, I have to warn you, a storm approach in the United Kingdom.

It's going to bring eight inches of snow or rain wherever you like a pig for the last year. There is though, I have to warn you, a storm approaching the

United Kingdom. It's going to bring eight inches of snow or rain wherever you live and it's

going to apparently decimate everything that's supposed to work in the United Kingdom. That

doesn't. But listen, it is the home of alarm clock brits this breakfast show. Whatever you're

doing this morning, you're out and about about already are you gearing up for a long

long day how'd you view what's going on in the world um lots of serious stuff some funny stuff as well

and as ever your involvement please on the show uh 3 double 429 1,000 is the number for those voice

notes you need to get him in nice and early. Christian, he's looking as, he's

sprightly this morning, whereas Mark, big Mark, the man that pushes the buttons, has had a haircut. I think by the council, to be honest, it's not looking great. I wish he had a camera around that way. Talking which, we'll talk about banter in the workplace later, but Charlie Rooney, good morning. Good morning. How are you? I'm very well. Thanks for having me. And happy new year. Can you still say that? I've not seen you yet. I've no idea. Happy New Year. I've said it now. Thank you very much. Can I just throw something very... We're going to talk about Donald Trump at some point wanting to take over Greenland. Thank you to Christian Mitchell, who's just put up my screen, the capital of Greenland is Newk. Why does that appeal to me at five past six in the morning? Well, it appeals to Donald Trump as well, doesn't it, I suppose? It's a funnier one, isn't it? I noticed he said that actually today, very sick we must have go with it, straight on the front page of the Times, but he says, and I quote, that he wants to take over Greenland in three years. Now, as a sort of political guru, is this bluff? Because I mean, this would blow native out the water. I don't want to spend too long on this, but it's extraordinary. Is it just posturing?

I think it's potentially, potentially was posturing, but I think now it's probably a serious thing that Trump thinks about.

When you look at what's happened in Venezuela and he's actually gone in to remove Madeira there,

I think he actually feels right, we need to strengthen our capabilities. And where Greenland is, it is actually in North America. It is in that sort of side of the,

I don't know, that map if you draw up, if you get out on Atlas. So it is close to, it's closer

to the US, I think, than it is to Europe anyway. It's just an independent, you know, a bit of

land that's co-owned, run by the Denmark and the people of Denmark and the kingdom of Denmark.

Very cold, very miserable and very sad.

Let's talk about that later on.

Let's get to the main news story of the day.
