BBC World Service - Weekend, Texas prepares for thaw

Temperatures forecast to rise in Texas; President Biden says “America is back”

Temperatures are expected to rise in Texas in the coming days, but there's a new risk.

Also, President Biden has told European leaders the Transatlantic alliance is back, following years of strained relations under Donald Trump.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other issues are Dr. Felia Allum, senior lecturer in Italian and Politics at the University of Bath here in the UK and an expert on Mafia and organised crime; and Alan Posener, a columnist from the German newspaper die Welt.
