[00:00:00] comes out of them, and then in the evening and night as it progresses, well, then some strong showers can
[00:00:04] arise, especially in the eastern part of the country, and over
[00:00:07] Bornholm, it also continues during the morning hours
[00:00:10] tomorrow, so all in all a rather gray day that stays dry
[00:00:14] until the evening, when these strong showers can come.
[00:00:28] Welcome to the latest news from TV. Representatives from
[00:00:32] all parliamentary parties have been briefed this morning at the
[00:00:35] Ministry of Defense with the Minister of Defense and
[00:00:38] the Chief of Defense, and this follows a Russian frigate firing two
[00:00:42] signal flares at one of the defense's helicopters.
[00:00:46] The incident happened in international waters off Gæsser
[00:00:49] yesterday afternoon, and the Minister of Defense said after the meeting that
[00:00:52] parliament and the government view the incident with great
[00:00:56] seriousness. You have had all the spokespersons of the parties in the
[00:00:59] agreement. For a briefing today, how has what happened last night
[00:01:03] been received? Well, I think everyone views it with great
[00:01:06] seriousness, what happened yesterday afternoon, and
[00:01:09] uh, takes the situation seriously, but
[00:01:11] also with the signal that we
[00:01:14] of course see what has happened as unacceptable.
[00:01:18] Normally, when something like this happens, the parties involved in an agreement
[00:01:21] unite, and that is also what you experience here, total
[00:01:25] support and a rejection, that it is of course
[00:01:29] completely unacceptable, yes, and not just for the parties in the
[00:01:32] defense agreement, but actually for the entire parliament, I would like to say. So what will
[00:01:36] happen now? We hear that the Russian ambassador is to go to the
[00:01:40] Ministry of Foreign Affairs, what is he to be told? Well, it is
[00:01:43] such that our Minister of Foreign Affairs has summoned the Russian ambassador, and this
[00:01:47] is of course with the clear message, uh, that what happened
[00:01:51] yesterday, that is completely unacceptable. I
[00:01:55] think the government is acting completely correctly in this matter, and
[00:01:58] that it just. proves that we must continue to
[00:02:02] rearm, it proves that we must stand together
[00:02:06] in Parliament, and there must not be a piece of paper to put down
[00:02:09] between the parliamentary parties, when
[00:02:13] it comes to our rejection of
[00:02:16] Russia, and we will intensify surveillance, we will
[00:02:19] not back down, that is an important signal, and it is also important to
[00:02:22] say that we are not activating articles four and five, uh, and there we in
[00:02:26] the Danish People's Party agree with the government not to do that, no article four, that's where you
[00:02:30] formally summon the member states to uh to a consultation, and why is
[00:02:34] that too much? we believe we are not there yet, and it is also important for us to
[00:02:38] maintain calm and not escalate towards the Russians, but that parallel
[00:02:41] to that we have informal talks with our
[00:02:44] NATO allies about both expressing getting them to
[00:02:48] express support, but also having a dialogue about what
[00:02:51] we do together, I think that is the right level. Prime Minister Mette
[00:02:55] Frederiksen has not yet given an interview, but says, among other things, in a
[00:02:58] written response about the incident: "It speaks for itself that it is very
[00:03:02] serious when a Russian frigate yesterday fired so-called flares
[00:03:05] at one of the defense's helicopters, but it is
[00:03:08] unfortunately not surprising, and Russia's ambassador Vladimir Babin
[00:03:12] has, as I said, been summoned to a meeting at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, a
[00:03:15] necessity, according to Lars Løkke
[00:03:17] Rasmussen. Well, I think the rhetoric is quite sharp,
[00:03:21] that is, now summoning ambassadors for talks, that
[00:03:25] is a tool, the diplomatic toolbox, and I agree
[00:03:29] that we have a situation with Russia where we often have to pick it up, but
[00:03:32] it doesn't change anything, that is the way uh one
[00:03:35] uh can indicate to another
[00:03:38] country how one views the matters, so that, that
[00:03:42] we do, and it will be in a sharp tone,
[00:03:45] uh, and then there is also a continuous close coordination among our
[00:03:48] allies, uh, I have noticed
[00:03:51] that this morning there was a debate about, well, do we involve them, of course we do,
[00:03:55] that is, there is a close communication,
[00:03:58] just as we, from the Danish side,
[00:04:00] solidarity, and that is intact, that is, all this follow the other situations that unfold,
[00:04:03] and that all paints a picture of a Russia that
[00:04:07] uh escalates, and that
[00:04:10] tests uh our
[00:04:16] serves the one purpose from the Russian side to try to get us to
[00:04:20] withdraw from our Ukraine support. Is
[00:04:22] Christine Kurtsen, political correspondent. What kind of signal is sent
[00:04:26] when the ambassador is summoned for a talk?
[00:04:31] "Well, it is to send a clear message to
[00:04:34] Russia that this is unacceptable, it is not
[00:04:38] one of the most violent tools in the diplomatic toolbox,
[00:04:42] but it is to send a clear message to
[00:04:45] the Russians, and how serious a situation is this for
[00:04:48] Denmark,
[00:04:51] that you can hear from the broad political consensus and
[00:04:55] support for the government, that it is something that both the government
[00:04:58] and parties outside the government take very,
[00:05:02] very seriously, it is both this situation, but it is also the
[00:05:06] general picture that Russia is currently constantly
[00:05:09] trying to provoke and poke NATO.
[00:05:17] Here we see one of the defense's Phoenix helicopters on a previous
[00:05:20] exercise. It was precisely a helicopter of this type
[00:05:24] that the Russian frigate shot at yesterday with
[00:05:26] signal flares. According to the defense, one
[00:05:30] signal flare passed close by the helicopter, this happened when
[00:05:33] the helicopter was routinely taking pictures of
[00:05:36] the Russian frigate in international waters off
[00:05:39] Gæsser, which is located on the southern tip of Falster. towards
[00:05:43] the Baltic Sea, and the situation fills
[00:05:45] the local area, we have talked a lot about what had
[00:05:49] happened, and then, like this morning, when we woke up
[00:05:53] at home and were having coffee, we actually sat and talked
[00:05:57] about how close it has actually come, I mean, it's not that anything has happened in here, but it
[00:06:01] happened right out there, so it's getting closer and closer, isn't
[00:06:04] it? So, but this is pure provocation, there's no doubt
[00:06:08] about it, it's, it's conflict-creating,
[00:06:11] and and... completely unnecessary, uh, so
[00:06:15] yeah, I don't really understand, uh, their
[00:06:18] intentions with it. According to a defense expert, this is
[00:06:22] an unusual situation, where signal
[00:06:25] flares are used like the Russians did. Normally, one would be somewhere
[00:06:28] where one has called on the radio and blinked at them with
[00:06:32] something with some light. Uh, that, that would
[00:06:35] be normal procedure. I cannot comment on this case, but it would be normal. So
[00:06:38] how dangerous has it been, I understand
[00:06:41] from the defense command that
[00:06:45] at least one flare passed very close to the helicopter, yes, you could say the probability of being hit by that flare is very
[00:06:49] low, but if you are hit, then the probability of damage is great, if it hits the
[00:06:52] engine, the engine can stall, and it explains itself what then
[00:06:56] happens, uh, now they have flown with the door open, because they were supposed to take pictures of a
[00:06:59] burning flare going into the cabin or
[00:07:02] cockpit, then it's completely wrong, yes, it's not
[00:07:06] unusual for a Russian frigate to sail close to Danish waters, our
[00:07:09] defense correspondent says, what is
[00:07:12] not normal is that the Russians mark themselves in the way they
[00:07:16] did towards the Danish helicopter. There
[00:07:19] are, uh, often, I would say, Russian warships, including
[00:07:23] frigates, in Danish waters, or close to Danish waters,
[00:07:26] they pass through, or else they keep an eye on the
[00:07:30] shadow fleet tankers that also pass through Danish waters, so
[00:07:34] they are present, and when they are, well, then the defense and the Danish
[00:07:38] state really want to physically go out and look at them, sometimes
[00:07:41] escort them. uh through Danish waters, but in any
[00:07:44] case, uh keep physical watch on, well, the
[00:07:48] radar images and the radar tracks we have, does it also match reality, so this
[00:07:51] here are two completely ordinary
[00:07:55] operations, which then coordinate. The unusual thing that happens here is
[00:07:58] that the Russian ship chooses to fire a
[00:08:01] signal flare at the Danish helicopter. That
[00:08:05] is relatively escalating and actually a dangerous situation,
[00:08:08] normally, this is a carefully choreographed dance. they have
[00:08:12] with each other, there are many opportunities for the Russian ship to tell the
[00:08:16] Danish helicopter, hey, keep your distance, they can do it with signal lights,
[00:08:20] they can just do it on the radio, here they choose to fire a signal flare,
[00:08:23] that is unusual and escalating, so how
[00:08:27] seriously should we take this incident that happened yesterday
[00:08:30] afternoon? this is another sign that
[00:08:33] some kind of escalation is taking place in many
[00:08:36] different ways, we saw it with
[00:08:39] the failed drone attack
[00:08:42] in Leipzig in Germany, we see it when Russian
[00:08:46] drone attacks move closer and closer to the uh
[00:08:49] Ukrainian-Polish border, and now we see it here, where something
[00:08:53] deviates from the normal pattern, uh, so it's
[00:08:57] an abnormality, you could say, but again, they are just another
[00:09:00] sign that there is some kind of escalation underway between Russia
[00:09:04] on the one hand and the Western NATO countries on the other, and Russia will now
[00:09:08] thoroughly investigate what happened, so it reads in a written response from the Russian
[00:09:12] embassy in Denmark. The embassy also writes that it is not
[00:09:16] the first time the Danish air force's helicopter has performed dangerous
[00:09:20] maneuvers close to Russian warships while they were at
[00:09:23] sea outside Denmark's territorial waters.
[00:09:26] Unfortunately, the Danish side has no interest and never has
[00:09:29] had it. In preventing the situation at sea from escalating
[00:09:32] or in implementing confidence-building
[00:09:35] measures, it says. And then it is
[00:09:38] of course a story that we follow all day, we do that on our different platforms.
[00:09:42] forms and we update as soon as there is
[00:09:45] news.
[00:09:49] In the Netherlands, railway operator Pro
[00:09:52] Rail suspects that sabotage is to blame for disruptions to train traffic in the middle of
[00:09:56] rush hour earlier today. Objects were found on the tracks,
[00:10:00] it says, and it is not immediately disclosed which objects are
[00:10:03] involved, or who is suspected of being behind
[00:10:06] the sabotage.
[00:10:09] A NATO fighter jet has shot down a drone in Lithuania's
[00:10:12] airspace, confirmed by the country's president on X. It is now
[00:10:16] unclear where the drone, of which we see fragments here,
[00:10:19] comes from, but Lithuania's president writes that, and I quote, in
[00:10:23] light of Russia's escalating
[00:10:25] aggression against Ukraine, such readiness is of crucial
[00:10:28] importance for our region.
[00:10:32] Two 16-year-old boys have been charged with the murder of a 25-year-old who died after a
[00:10:36] stabbing in Tilst on May 16th. This
[00:10:39] is announced by the prosecution at East Jutland Police. Already,
[00:10:43] four other young men are imprisoned in the case, and the two 16-year-olds
[00:10:46] will appear in court this morning in
[00:10:49] Aarhus. The US Supreme Court rejects Trump's
[00:10:53] attempt to tighten rules for mail-in ballots. Trump signed
[00:10:57] a decree in the spring which, among other things, required that ballots only
[00:11:00] be sent to voters who were on special lists of
[00:11:03] mail-in voters in the individual states.
[00:11:07] At the same time, the president wanted the envelopes to be equipped with
[00:11:09] tracking, but this has now been rejected by the Supreme Court. The case has
[00:11:13] great significance for the midterm elections in November, as almost a third
[00:11:17] of American voters vote by mail. This is reported by
[00:11:20] AP.
[00:11:25] Two out of three children and young people aged 9 to 17 have in the past year been
[00:11:28] exposed to digital violations or other
[00:11:31] unpleasant experiences online here at home. This is shown by a new
[00:11:34] survey from Save the Children and Trygfonden, which maps
[00:11:38] the extent of 12 different forms of digital
[00:11:41] violations. Most times it's on Snapchat, where there are such
[00:11:45] random people who add me, and sometimes I say yes to it to see if it's someone I
[00:11:48] know. And then it just ends with them sending nude pictures and all sorts of things. There are also just a lot
[00:11:52] of people who have contacted me and then it's also just videos like. dead animals and
[00:11:56] car accidents and stuff, I was contacted by some of my
[00:11:59] friends' friends, um, and then they started writing a
[00:12:03] lot of unpleasant things, and like, I didn't know
[00:12:06] them, so I didn't quite know what to do. The digital
[00:12:09] violations and unpleasant online experiences range from serious
[00:12:13] legal offenses like grooming attempts from adult strangers, to
[00:12:17] crude comments, harassment from peers. Save the Children has
[00:12:21] previously conducted similar surveys, and here the number has
[00:12:23] risen massively from. 42% back in 2021 to now
[00:12:27] 66% this year, and the experiences can have serious
[00:12:31] consequences. It shifts children and young people's ideas about what
[00:12:35] they themselves are worth, and what others are worth. It can challenge their
[00:12:38] ideas about what boundaries they have, and because some of what
[00:12:41] the survey shows is that children to an increasing degree consider some
[00:12:45] of this to be a condition of being online, we are actually also
[00:12:48] concerned about the gradual shift in their boundaries
[00:12:52] that is associated with it. Save the Children
[00:12:55] recommends parents to ensure that their children do not get their first smartphone
[00:12:59] before they are 13 years old, but the biggest responsibility
[00:13:02] lies with the tech giants, it says. The
[00:13:06] tech giants must stop their addiction-creating
[00:13:09] behavioral design, their retention mechanisms, they must stop
[00:13:12] harvesting data from children under 18, we must have real
[00:13:16] age verification, so we actually know how old the children are
[00:13:20] on the platforms, fundamentally they must take
[00:13:23] responsibility for the content on their platforms, and they must ensure
[00:13:27] that they do not deliver dangerous products to
[00:13:30] children, and we would have liked to have talked to the tech giants, but it has not been possible
[00:13:34] for Snapchat or Roblox to answer our questions, while TikTok
[00:13:38] has not been available for an interview. Meta refers to
[00:13:41] Instagram's new team profiles, which set limits on who can
[00:13:45] contact them and what content they can access.
[00:13:48] Minister for Digitalization Kristina Ehlers has not been available for
[00:13:52] an interview, but writes to us that the survey confirms her belief
[00:13:55] that the tech giants are not taking their responsibility seriously, therefore I am also
[00:13:59] glad that we are now introducing an age limit for social
[00:14:01] media, so we can shield children from the absolutely horrific
[00:14:05] content that exists on many of the platforms. This alone does not
[00:14:08] solve the problem, but it is an important step
[00:14:11] forward. We're going to Aarhus, hi Cecilie, we're going to look at
[00:14:14] the weather. We are, and it's a gray
[00:14:18] affair out there, and later it will also be a bit wetter, because there's
[00:14:22] rain on the way, some showers can pop up here and there. Otherwise, it's
[00:14:26] cloudy in most places, maybe with some chance of holes in the cloud cover, especially
[00:14:29] in the southern part of the country. On the other hand, it's also mild out there,
[00:14:33] around 17 to 19 degrees in many places, again down here to the south,
[00:14:37] there are several places where it's just under or just over 20
[00:14:41] degrees, so if you go outside, it feels nice and mild.
[00:14:44] Towards the afternoon, well, then it starts to pull a rain front across the country
[00:14:48] from the west, it will pass all the way across the country, it can
[00:14:52] locally in some places be with quite heavy
[00:14:56] rain, and overnight, well, it continues
[00:14:59] eastward, and gives a lot of water to both Zealand and
[00:15:03] Bornholm, where it can also feel quite intense at times. It's
[00:15:06] a bit more, yes, unstable weather, it actually continues throughout the week, where
[00:15:10] there are still relatively mild temperatures.
[00:15:22] Deep in a forest, a remarkable group of Americans
[00:15:25] are ready for battle,
[00:15:28] they are socialists and communists, and fear Donald Trump and the
[00:15:32] MAGA movement.

[00:15:38] right now on DRTV and tonight at 21:25 on
[00:15:41] DR1, oh how wild that
[00:15:45] is, well it's incomprehensible, completely, we have traveled into this
[00:15:49] incredibly large country, is it like here that you should
[00:15:53] be, yes, is that it, not to have all of China
[00:15:56] explained, but to get a little closer, so you feel
[00:15:59] left out if you're not on tiktok and streaming,
[00:16:02] okay, and maybe to challenge a couple of prejudices that
[00:16:06] a Dane can... and thinks, our system is perfect, and it would just
[00:16:10] work, it could never work in China, because we know too
[00:16:13] little and perhaps fear too much. Anne and Anders
[00:16:17] in China,
[00:16:19] Sunday on DRTV and
[00:17:33] Welcome to the latest news from TV Avisen.
[00:17:36] Representatives from. All parliamentary parties have this
[00:17:39] morning been briefed at the Ministry of Defense with the
[00:17:42] Minister of Defense and the Chief of Defense, and this follows
[00:17:45] a Russian frigate firing two signal flares at one of
[00:17:49] the defense's helicopters. The incident happened in
[00:17:52] international waters off Gæsser yesterday afternoon, and
[00:17:56] the Minister of Defense said after the meeting that parliament and the government view
[00:18:00] the incident with great seriousness. You have
[00:18:02] had all the spokespersons of the parties in the agreement in for a briefing today. How
[00:18:06] has? what happened last night been received, well, I think
[00:18:10] everyone views it with great seriousness, what happened yesterday
[00:18:13] afternoon, and uh, takes the situation seriously, but
[00:18:17] also with the signal that we
[00:18:19] of course see what has happened as unacceptable.
[00:18:23] Normally, when something like this happens, the parties involved in an agreement
[00:18:27] unite, and that is also what you experience here, total
[00:18:30] support and a rejection, that this, this is of course
[00:18:34] completely unacceptable, yes, and not just for... the parties in
[00:18:37] the defense agreement, but actually for the entire parliament, I would like to say. So what will
[00:18:41] happen now? We hear that the Russian ambassador is to go to the
[00:18:45] Ministry of Foreign Affairs. What is he to be told? Well, it is
[00:18:49] such that our Minister of Foreign Affairs has summoned the Russian ambassador, and this
[00:18:53] is of course with the clear message, that what happened
[00:18:56] yesterday, that is completely unacceptable. I think the government is acting
[00:19:00] completely correctly in this matter, and that
[00:19:04] that it just proves that we continue. must
[00:19:07] rearm, it proves that we must stand together
[00:19:11] in Parliament, and there must not be a piece of paper to put down
[00:19:14] between the parliamentary parties, uh, when it comes
[00:19:18] to our rejection of Russia,
[00:19:22] and we will intensify surveillance, we will not back down, that is an
[00:19:26] important signal, and it is also important to say that we are not activating articles
[00:19:29] 4 and 5, and there we in the Danish People's Party agree with the government not
[00:19:33] to do that, no article 4, that's where you formally summon the
[00:19:36] member states to... to to a consultation, and why is that too
[00:19:39] much? we believe we are not there yet, and it is also important for us to
[00:19:43] maintain calm and not escalate towards the Russians, but that parallel
[00:19:47] to that, we have informal talks with our
[00:19:49] NATO allies, about both expressing getting them to
[00:19:53] express support, but also having a dialogue about what, what do
[00:19:56] we do together, I think that is the right level. Prime Minister Mette
[00:20:00] Frederiksen has not yet given an interview, but says, among other things, in a
[00:20:03] written response about the incident: It speaks for itself that it is very.
[00:20:07] serious when a Russian frigate yesterday fired so-called flares at one of
[00:20:11] the defense's helicopters, but it is unfortunately not
[00:20:14] surprising, and Russia's ambassador Vladimir Barbin has, as I said,
[00:20:18] been summoned to a meeting at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. A
[00:20:20] necessity, according to Lars Løkke
[00:20:23] Rasmussen. Well, I think the rhetoric is quite sharp.
[00:20:27] I mean, summoning ambassadors for talks is
[00:20:30] a tool, the diplomatic toolbox, and I agree
[00:20:34] that we have a situation with Russia where we often have to pick it up. But
[00:20:38] it doesn't change anything, that is the way one
[00:20:41] uh can indicate to another country how one
[00:20:45] views the matters, so that's what we do, and it will be
[00:20:48] in a sharp tone.
[00:20:50] Uh, and then there is also a continuous
[00:20:53] close coordination among our allies. Uh, I have noticed
[00:20:56] that this morning there was a debate about, well, do we involve them, of course we do,
[00:21:00] that is, there is a close communication,
[00:21:04] just as we, from the Danish side, follow the other
[00:21:07] situations that unfold, and that all paints a
[00:21:10] picture of a Russia that escalates, and that
[00:21:14] tests, uh, our, uh, our
[00:21:18] solidarity, uh, and that is. intact, that is, all this serves
[00:21:22] the one purpose from the Russian side to try to get us to withdraw from
[00:21:25] our Ukraine support. Yes, Christine Kurtsen, political
[00:21:29] correspondent. What kind of signal is sent when the ambassador is summoned
[00:21:33] for a talk?
[00:21:36] Well, it is to send a clear message to
[00:21:40] Russia that this is unacceptable. It is not
[00:21:43] one of the most violent tools in the diplomatic
[00:21:47] toolbox, but it is to send a clear message. to
[00:21:50] the Russians, and how serious a situation is this for
[00:21:53] Denmark?
[00:21:57] that you can hear from the broad political consensus and
[00:22:00] support for the government, that it is something that both the government
[00:22:04] and the parties outside the government take very, very
[00:22:07] seriously, it is both this situation, but it is also the
[00:22:11] general picture that Russia is currently constantly
[00:22:14] trying to provoke and poke the
[00:22:17] NATO countries.
[00:22:22] Here we see one of the defense's Phoenix helicopters on a previous
[00:22:25] exercise. It was precisely a helicopter of this type
[00:22:29] that the Russian frigate shot at yesterday with
[00:22:32] signal flares. According to the defense, one
[00:22:35] signal flare passed close by the helicopter. This happened when
[00:22:38] the helicopter was routinely taking pictures of the
[00:22:41] Russian frigate in international waters off
[00:22:45] Gæsser, which is located on the southern tip of Falster towards
[00:22:48] the Baltic Sea. The situation fills
[00:22:51] the local area, we have talked a lot about what
[00:22:54] had happened, uh, and then, like this morning, when we
[00:22:58] woke up at home and were having coffee,
[00:23:00] we actually sat and talked about how close it has actually come, I mean, it's not
[00:23:04] that anything has happened in here, but it happened right out there, so it's
[00:23:08] getting closer and closer, isn't it? So, but this is pure provocation,
[00:23:12] there's no doubt about it, it's, it's
[00:23:14] conflict-creating. uh and and completely unnecessarily
[00:23:18] uh. So, yes, I don't
[00:23:22] really understand their intentions with it.
[00:23:25] According to a defense expert, this is an unusual
[00:23:28] situation where signal flares are used, just like the Russians
[00:23:32] did. One would normally be in a situation where one had called
[00:23:35] on the radio and blinked at them with some light.
[00:23:38] That would be normal procedure. I can't comment on this
[00:23:42] case, but it would be normal. So, how dangerous has it
[00:23:45] been? I understand from the defense command that
[00:23:49] one of the flares at least passed very close to the helicopter. Yes, you could say
[00:23:52] the probability of being hit by that flare is very low, but if you are hit, the
[00:23:55] probability of injury is high, and if it goes into the engine, the engine can shut down, and
[00:23:59] that explains itself, what then happens. Uh, now they have flown with the door
[00:24:03] open because they had to take pictures of a burning flare in
[00:24:06] the cabin or cockpit, then it's completely
[00:24:09] wrong. Yes, there's nothing unusual about a Russian frigate
[00:24:13] sailing close to Danish waters, says our
[00:24:15] defense correspondent. What is not normal, however, is
[00:24:19] the Russians doing it in the way they did towards the Danish
[00:24:22] helicopter. There are often, I would
[00:24:26] say, Russian warships, also frigates, in Danish waters,
[00:24:30] or close to Danish waters. They pass through, or
[00:24:33] they keep an eye on the shadow fleet tanker that
[00:24:37] also passes through Danish waters. So they are present, and
[00:24:40] when they are, well, then the defense and the Danish state really
[00:24:44] want to physically go out and look at them, sometimes escort
[00:24:47] them through Danish waters, but at least... uh, keep a physical
[00:24:51] eye on, well, the radar images and the radar tracks we
[00:24:54] have, does it also match reality? So this is
[00:24:57] two completely everyday operations that then
[00:25:01] coordinate. The unusual thing that happens here is that the Russian
[00:25:05] ship chooses to fire a signal flare
[00:25:08] at the Danish helicopter. That is relatively escalating
[00:25:12] and actually a dangerous situation. Normally, this is a
[00:25:16] carefully choreographed dance you have with each other. There are many ways
[00:25:20] the Russian ship can tell the Danish helicopter: hey, keep your
[00:25:23] distance. They can do it with signal lights, they can even do it on the radio. Here they choose
[00:25:27] to fire a signal flare. That is unusual and
[00:25:30] escalating. So, how seriously should we take this
[00:25:34] incident that happened yesterday afternoon? This
[00:25:37] is yet another sign that some kind of
[00:25:40] escalation is taking place in many different ways. We saw it
[00:25:43] with the -
[00:25:46] unsuccessful drone attack in Leipzig, Germany. We see it when
[00:25:50] Russian drone attacks move closer and closer to the uh
[00:25:54] Ukrainian-Polish border, and now we see it here, where something
[00:25:58] deviates from the normal pattern, uh, so it is an
[00:26:02] abnormality, one could say, but again, they are just another sign
[00:26:06] that there is some form of escalation underway between Russia
[00:26:10] on the one hand, and the Western NATO countries on the other. And Russia will now
[00:26:13] thoroughly investigate what has happened, according to a written response from the Russian
[00:26:17] embassy in Denmark. The embassy also writes that it is not
[00:26:21] the first time the Danish air force's helicopter has performed dangerous
[00:26:25] maneuvers close to Russian warships while they were at
[00:26:28] sea outside Denmark's territorial waters. Unfortunately,
[00:26:31] the Danish side has no interest and never had
[00:26:35] it in preventing a situation at sea from escalating
[00:26:38] or in implementing confidence-building measures, it says.
[00:26:42] And then it is naturally a story that we follow all
[00:26:45] day, we do that on our various platforms, and we will update as
[00:26:49] soon as there is
[00:26:50] news.
[00:26:54] In the Netherlands, the railway operator Pro
[00:26:57] Rail suspects that sabotage is to blame for disruptions to train traffic in the middle of
[00:27:01] rush hour today. Objects were found on the tracks,
[00:27:05] it says, and it is not immediately clear what objects are
[00:27:09] involved, or who is suspected of being behind
[00:27:12] the sabotage.
[00:27:14] A NATO fighter jet has shot down a drone in Lithuania's
[00:27:17] airspace. This is confirmed by the country's president on X. It is now
[00:27:21] unclear where the drone, of which we see fragments here,
[00:27:24] comes from. But Lithuania's president writes that, and I quote, in
[00:27:28] light of Russia's escalating aggression against Ukraine, such
[00:27:32] preparedness is of crucial importance for our
[00:27:35] region.
[00:27:37] Two 16-year-old boys have been charged with the murder of a 25-year-old who died after a
[00:27:41] stabbing in Tilst on May 16th. This
[00:27:44] is announced by the prosecution at East Jutland police. Already,
[00:27:48] four other young men are imprisoned in the case. And the two 16-year-olds
[00:27:51] will appear in court this morning in Aarhus.
[00:27:54] The US Supreme Court rejects Trump's
[00:27:58] attempt to tighten rules for mail-in ballots. Trump signed
[00:28:02] last year a decree that, among other things, required that
[00:28:04] ballots only be sent to voters who were on special
[00:28:08] lists of mail-in voters in the individual
[00:28:11] states. At the same time, the president wanted envelopes to be equipped
[00:28:14] with tracking, but the Supreme Court has now rejected that. The case
[00:28:18] has great significance for the midterm elections in November, as almost a third
[00:28:22] of American voters vote by mail, writes
[00:28:25] AP.
[00:28:30] Two out of three children and young people aged 9 to 17 have in the past year been
[00:28:33] exposed to digital violations or other
[00:28:36] unpleasant experiences online in Denmark. This is shown by a new
[00:28:40] survey from Save the Children and TrygFonden, which maps
[00:28:43] the extent of 12 different forms of digital
[00:28:46] violations. Most often, it's on Snapchat, where
[00:28:50] random people add me, and sometimes I say yes to see if it's someone I
[00:28:53] know, and then it just ends with them sending nude pictures and all sorts of things. There are also just
[00:28:57] many who have contacted me, and then it's also just videos of dead animals
[00:29:01] and car accidents and stuff. 'I was contacted by some of my
[00:29:04] friends' friends, uhm, and then they started
[00:29:07] writing a lot of unpleasant things, and like, I didn't
[00:29:11] know them, so I didn't really know what to do. The digital
[00:29:15] violations and unpleasant online experiences range from serious
[00:29:18] offenses such as grooming attempts from adult strangers, to
[00:29:22] crude comments and harassment from peers. Save the Children has
[00:29:26] previously conducted similar surveys, and here the number has
[00:29:29] risen massively from 42% back in 2021 to now
[00:29:32] 66% this year, and the experiences can have serious
[00:29:36] consequences. It shifts children and young people's
[00:29:39] ideas about their self-worth, and what others are worth. It can challenge
[00:29:43] their ideas about what boundaries they have, and because some of what
[00:29:46] the survey shows is that children increasingly consider some
[00:29:50] of this a condition of being online, we are actually also
[00:29:54] concerned about the gradual shifting of their boundaries that
[00:29:57] is associated with it. Save the Children
[00:30:00] recommends parents ensure that their children do not
[00:30:03] get their first smartphone before they are 13 years old, but the biggest
[00:30:07] responsibility lies with the tech giants, it
[00:30:09] says. The tech giants must stop
[00:30:13] their addiction-creating behavioral design, their
[00:30:16] retention mechanisms, they must stop harvesting data from children
[00:30:19] under 18. We need real age verification so we
[00:30:23] actually know how old the children are on the platforms,
[00:30:26] uh, fundamentally they must take responsibility for the content that
[00:30:30] is on their platform, and they must ensure that they do not provide
[00:30:34] dangerous products to children, and we would have liked to have
[00:30:37] spoken with the tech giants, but it has not been possible for Snapchat or Roblox to answer
[00:30:41] our questions, while TikTok has not been available for
[00:30:44] an interview. Meta refers to Instagram's new
[00:30:47] team profiles, which set limits on who can
[00:30:50] contact them and what content they can access.
[00:30:53] Minister for Digitalization Kristina Ehlers has not been available for an
[00:30:57] interview, but writes to us that the survey confirms her belief that
[00:31:00] the tech giants are not taking their responsibility seriously. Therefore, I am also
[00:31:04] glad that we are now introducing an age.
