EU threatens Russian sanctions after alleged cable sabotage
One of Russia's tankers was blamed for severing an electricity cable.
Finnish police have boarded a ship which they believe was operating as part of Russia's so-called shadow fleet. The Lithuanian defence minister, Dovil臈 艩akalien臈, tells Newshour she wants to see additional US sanctions on Russia.
Also on the programme: the new authorities in Syria have carried out an offensive against militias loyal to the deposed president Bashar al-Assad; and the Bald Eagle has been officially named as America's national bird - we speak to a man who campaigned for the recognition.
