[00:00:00] was commissioned in 2013, and now Gunnard
[00:00:02] Lisby has spent a single-digit million sum to connect the battery.
[00:00:06] He has the same plan for another mill in the area, which
[00:00:10] will get a double-sized battery.
[00:00:13] So my interest will always be peaks, because then I earn more money,
[00:00:16] so I myself contribute to creating a cannibalization of
[00:00:20] this, but that's what we all need, and we need it at a
[00:00:23] time when we have problems with the overall grid, that it is
[00:00:26] simply overloaded. Our
[00:00:29] electricity consumption rises significantly as society becomes more
[00:00:33] electrified and more large data centers emerge. This
[00:00:36] means that our electricity grid struggles to keep up. Here, batteries, like the one in
[00:00:40] Kikenborg, can help relieve the grid. I think we
[00:00:44] should have more of these types of solutions. This is something that can benefit
[00:00:47] all of us, but we need that
[00:00:51] Energinet and the grid companies also come out with more
[00:00:55] products here. The electricity grid is struggling so much that
[00:00:58] Energinet has temporarily stopped new large
[00:01:01] grid connections. This stop also affects large
[00:01:04] batteries that draw power from the grid, and this is met with harsh criticism
[00:01:07] from Danish industry, who calls it a scandal. One actually sees
[00:01:11] investments in batteries on a massive scale in the rest of
[00:01:15] Europe, but not in Denmark, uh, so
[00:01:18] here we are not a pioneering country, and especially not when
[00:01:21] one has said that one cannot do anything at all, because there is nothing that can come onto the electricity grid, that goes without
[00:01:25] saying, then we are almost a developing country, as it is today,
[00:01:28] hopefully that will change in the future.
[00:01:33] Copenhagen is this weekend host city for the World Championships
[00:01:36] road race. Today it's the half marathon through the
[00:01:40] Copenhagen
[00:01:40] streets.
[00:01:44] And it came, and then we are out. Both
[00:01:48] the world elite and thousands of recreational runners will run
[00:01:51] the half marathon distance. The race starts and
[00:01:55] finishes in Fælledparken in Østerbro. And Tobias Bolt,
[00:01:58] our reporter in the area,
[00:02:02] you almost look like one, I can see, who is ready to run, what
[00:02:06] kind of day will it be?
[00:02:09] Yes, I haven't put on my running clothes, but it will be a huge, huge day, this is the
[00:02:13] biggest running event that has ever been held in
[00:02:16] Denmark, so it's quite quiet right now around
[00:02:20] the finish line here on Øster Alle in Østerbro, but a little later it will be
[00:02:23] swarming with people, 45,000 registered for this
[00:02:27] half marathon, and it's both happy recreational runners. but it's also
[00:02:30] the world elite who are at the start, there are both world champions and Olympic
[00:02:33] medalists in this race, so it will be a huge
[00:02:37] morning. And what does it mean that both the world elite and
[00:02:40] amateur runners are participating, how will it affect the city
[00:02:44] and the atmosphere along
[00:02:45] the route?
[00:02:48] Well, that makes this something very special, that happy recreational runners
[00:02:52] try their hand at the same route, as the world elite, and if
[00:02:55] not running side by side, then at least they can compare themselves, that's what
[00:02:59] makes it so special, that this is a World Championship, and that there are so many of the great
[00:03:03] stars, you can also feel the atmosphere when you walk around here around
[00:03:07] Fælledparken and feel that tingling anticipation
[00:03:10] among all the many recreational runners who are registered for this
[00:03:13] race, and then the question is whether the weather will be dry
[00:03:17] also in the rest of the country, unfortunately
[00:03:20] it won't, we have started the day with real autumn weather with both
[00:03:23] rain and bluster, but in some places there is also dry
[00:03:27] sunshine right now, but during the morning, gradually more
[00:03:30] showers will come, and they will dribble across the country from
[00:03:34] west to east throughout the day. These showers can locally be relatively
[00:03:37] heavy and also with a risk of hail and
[00:03:40] thunder. Temperatures will peak at 14,
[00:03:43] 15, 16 degrees, but it will feel noticeably cooler,
[00:03:47] because the wind is also a significant factor
[00:03:50] today. We will have a fresh to strong wind over land
[00:03:54] along the coasts, locally up to cooling, and with some strong
[00:03:57] gusts of wind that can easily reach stormy. and in connection with the
[00:04:01] strongest showers, one can even get gusts of
[00:04:04] storm strength. Here we can see how the strongest wind field moves throughout the
[00:04:08] day. The race starts out by the Jutland west coast, moves up into
[00:04:11] Skagerrak, Kattegat and finally also over the Baltic Sea, so
[00:04:15] yes, real autumn weather here Sunday.
[00:04:19] music or him as a
[00:04:28] Good morning, here you'll see the latest news from TV Avisen:
[00:04:31] Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen travels to the USA today, where Denmark,
[00:04:35] Greenland and the USA next week, according to plan, will sign
[00:04:39] an agreement on Greenland's future. This picture
[00:04:42] is from Donald Trump's True Social post, where he Friday evening
[00:04:46] wrote that an agreement is in place. The content of the new
[00:04:50] agreement has not yet been published, but the parties have
[00:04:53] apparently agreed that the Commonwealth will continue. The
[00:04:56] same applies to Greenland's right to self-determination. that
[00:05:00] the USA will gain control over security in Greenland and will increase its military
[00:05:04] presence immediately. The agreement is
[00:05:06] planned to be signed at a ceremony in connection with
[00:05:10] the UN General Assembly in New York.
[00:05:13] and until then, the exercise is to remain
[00:05:16] calm. There are many who have opinions about
[00:05:19] this, there are very few who have yet seen the agreement text, and I
[00:05:23] think that the Danish government at least hopes that they
[00:05:27] can get as much calm as possible, so they can get the agreement signed, so that there
[00:05:31] are no sudden situations that could
[00:05:34] hinder this from happening, because I also have to say that the people I
[00:05:38] have spoken to say that along the way it has been very close
[00:05:42] to going wrong, i.e. that one was at a point where an agreement could not be reached, which
[00:05:46] they have now obtained.
[00:05:49] Yesterday evening, Donald Trump shared the front page of the New
[00:05:53] York Post, where they write Green New Deal,
[00:05:56] US military forever right over Greenland. This suggests
[00:06:00] that the White House succeeded in selling the agreement as a victory
[00:06:03] for the Americans, it sounds.
[00:06:07] Now they have achieved what they wanted. It may
[00:06:11] not be ownership, but now they have at least gained
[00:06:14] permanent, as it states, military control
[00:06:18] of Greenland. That's not all that's in that
[00:06:21] tweet that Donald Trump sent out, and not in the front page either, which is not
[00:06:25] entirely correct, but in reality, no one
[00:06:28] has such a very concrete interest in finding out
[00:06:32] who is exactly right, as long as the three parties can agree
[00:06:35] that this is a good agreement, then I think
[00:06:39] that Mitte Frederiksen and Jens Frederik Nielsen from Greenland can
[00:06:43] live with Trump going out and saying things that are not entirely
[00:06:46] correct. Until the signature is in place, Danish
[00:06:50] business is approaching the new agreement on Greenland's
[00:06:53] future with some caution. I
[00:06:56] think, uh, let's calm down now, and then let's see the
[00:07:00] agreement specifically, so we know it's signed and see what the content
[00:07:04] is. But when the ink from the signatures is dry, then
[00:07:07] Danish business looks forward to
[00:07:09] stability.
[00:07:12] and we must wait to sell the skin before the bear is
[00:07:16] shot, but it is clear that an increased stability around
[00:07:19] the Commonwealth, well, that is good for Danish business, it is good for Greenlandic
[00:07:23] business, it is good for investments, because the worst thing
[00:07:27] erhvervslivet ved, det er usikkerhed, og det er forandringer, det
[00:07:30] can provide stability, stability is good,
[00:07:33] and precisely this last point, a large American military presence
[00:07:37] in a part of Greenland, can be good business for the country, so says
[00:07:41] Greenlandic business. We are talking about some
[00:07:45] military installations, and we are actually used to that in a Greenlandic context. We had Ganger
[00:07:48] Ludsvark until 92, we had Nazark until sometime in the 50s, we
[00:07:52] still have bidofic space space, so seen with
[00:07:55] Greenlandic glasses and Greenlandic business glasses, there are
[00:07:58] some opportunities to service these bases in
[00:08:01] various ways, just as we have been used to, just as we do with both Danish and American
[00:08:05] defense.
[00:08:09] In Russia, the election for the Russian lower house, the Duma,
[00:08:13] will be decided today. The first election since the invasion of
[00:08:16] Ukraine. Therefore, the election also includes voters in the four
[00:08:19] Ukrainian regions that Russia has illegally annexed. In
[00:08:23] the last election, President Putin's support party United
[00:08:27] Russia won 324 of the Duma's 450
[00:08:30] seats. It requires at least 300 seats to implement
[00:08:33] constitutional amendments without support from any other
[00:08:37] parties. 111 million Russians have been able to
[00:08:40] cast their votes since Friday. It is important to them, say
[00:08:44] the people our reporter in Moscow has spoken
[00:08:47] to.
[00:08:51] Our voices decide, maybe one single
[00:08:55] voice, that will decide
[00:08:59] this country.
[00:09:02] May I add, it is our civic duty, and
[00:09:05] we love our
[00:09:07] president very much.
[00:09:22] It's you, Louise Brothain, what's at stake in this
[00:09:25] election?
[00:09:30] This election is in many ways about support for
[00:09:33] the war. The president himself has been out encouraging people to
[00:09:37] vote, he did that before the election, and as we just heard this couple say, but it's
[00:09:41] important for them too. to show what they
[00:09:44] think, and why they are voting is because, well, it's the only
[00:09:48] option they have. Having said that, there is dissatisfaction,
[00:09:52] there is dissatisfaction with the war, which is now in its fifth year,
[00:09:56] and the consequences that people feel, price increases, uh, repeated
[00:09:59] attacks, including here in Moscow, uh, but what it's
[00:10:02] about is showing that there is unity here, if you then look at
[00:10:06] those who are in a form of opposition, well, this election is
[00:10:09] simply about demonstrating the exact opposite, namely that one does not want
[00:10:13] the candidates from United Russia, and one wants something else. So
[00:10:16] how are these protest votes expressed?
[00:10:19] What has been advocated for, and this applies
[00:10:24] both within the country itself, but
[00:10:27] also from exiled politicians especially, it's about saying, well, if you
[00:10:31] are going to participate in this election, so-called election to
[00:10:35] demonstrate, then you must cast blank votes, you
[00:10:39] must vote for all candidates who are not
[00:10:42] from United Russia, to simply demonstrate that you want something else, having said
[00:10:46] that, it is also important to say, there are no parties that are running that
[00:10:50] are directly against the war, the only party that has expressed a line
[00:10:53] that is opposed to the war, they have simply not been allowed to run, so you could
[00:10:57] say, there may be protest votes, but it may be difficult to see if it will even
[00:11:01] mean anything for the result, so Louise, do we already know the result before
[00:11:05] the polling stations
[00:11:06] close?
[00:11:11] I think I might as well put my head on the block and say, I guess it will be
[00:11:14] United Russia that wins the majority of the votes here.
[00:11:18] This morning, I think they had already registered around
[00:11:21] 45% of votes cast, and I don't think
[00:11:25] the result will be a big surprise, it will probably be the same four or five
[00:11:28] parties that end up in parliament, and as I said, the president's
[00:11:31] support party, which will win the majority of
[00:11:33] the votes.
[00:11:36] Russia is going to the polls while the country is at war with Ukraine, and on
[00:11:40] election day, Moscow and Omeyn have also been targeted by
[00:11:43] attacks with several hundred drones. An oil refinery near
[00:11:47] Moscow has been hit. Two have died and six more
[00:11:51] have been injured. And back to you Louise. Last night, there were drone
[00:11:55] attacks around Moscow. How do Russians experience
[00:11:58] the war?
[00:12:03] I think one has to remember that there is a big difference between what happens here in
[00:12:07] Moscow and perhaps also St. Petersburg, the other big city here, and what
[00:12:10] else happens around the country here in Moscow, where I am, and in central
[00:12:14] Moscow, you don't really feel anything. It's hard to see on the street,
[00:12:18] uh, there might be some posters, some advertisements from the National Guard, they have
[00:12:21] probably been there anyway, so it's not like there are... air raid sirens and
[00:12:25] all that, you have to go a bit further out to see some of these attacks or
[00:12:29] their consequences, so there's not much to feel here, but if you go further out,
[00:12:33] if you go further down towards the border regions, then it's something
[00:12:35] completely different, here people also talk a bit more openly about what is happening, uh, so
[00:12:39] therefore you can say, here in the center of power, it's not here you feel the big
[00:12:43] difference, and the latest episodes of the war's day, you can
[00:12:47] see what consequences it has for the Russian here at the front, when
[00:12:50] misinformation spreads between the military and the political
[00:12:54] top, you? win the war's day on
[00:12:56] TV.
[00:12:59] British pop singer Ed Sheeran is now apologizing and
[00:13:03] commenting on the conflict between Israel and Palestine after weeks of
[00:13:07] massive criticism. I am making mistakes and I'm
[00:13:11] so so sorry. What happened in Israel and at the Nova Music
[00:13:15] Festival on October 7th was horrific and compounded
[00:13:18] centuries of Jewish pain. What is
[00:13:21] happening in Gaza is catastrophic and
[00:13:25] unjustifiable and disproportionate. My heart has
[00:13:28] been broken by the scale of devastation and loss of civilian
[00:13:32] lives.
[00:13:34] The pop singer has been under fire this past week after rapper
[00:13:37] Macklemore was removed as opening act on Ed Sheeran's
[00:13:41] tour for expressing pro-Palestinian messages
[00:13:44] from the stage. It was the organizer behind the tour who
[00:13:47] made the decision to exclude Macklemore.
[00:13:50] Since then, the Danish band Lukas Graham and other
[00:13:53] opening acts have withdrawn from the tour in protest, and
[00:13:57] yesterday, Ed Sheeran therefore went on stage without support, but he
[00:14:01] emphasizes that the tour will continue.
[00:14:04] Honoring my commitment to my fans is also completely
[00:14:07] central to who I am, and that is why I'm here
[00:14:10] tonight, on my own, and continuing my current
[00:14:14] tour.
[00:14:17] Outside Lincoln Financial Field, where the concert was
[00:14:20] held, pro-Palestinian demonstrators
[00:14:23] showed up to express their dissatisfaction with
[00:14:25] the pop singer,
[00:14:32] I feel fairly betrayed, um, as a former fan, um,
[00:14:35] because I think that doing the right thing is stronger
[00:14:39] and, uh, is more important than his
[00:14:44] celebrity.
[00:14:47] Now, let's go back home, electricity prices have reached their highest level this week in
[00:14:51] almost two years, with a price of seven kroner per kilowatt hour.
[00:14:55] However, prices fluctuate wildly, sometimes it costs zero kroner to
[00:14:58] charge your car or turn on the washing machine. A wind turbine owner is now trying
[00:15:02] to do something about these fluctuations. Therefore, he has, as the
[00:15:06] first in Denmark, connected a large battery to a
[00:15:08] wind turbine. That battery is there. It
[00:15:12] can hold 4,500
[00:15:14] kilowatt hours. That's what corresponds to an average
[00:15:18] household's annual consumption. This
[00:15:21] is this mill in Kikenborg in Lemvig municipality, which has
[00:15:25] had a battery retrofitted. The battery stores power both from
[00:15:28] the mill and from the electricity grid when the price is
[00:15:31] low, which benefits the entire society, it benefits here for
[00:15:35] Denmark, it benefits companies that use a lot of electricity, it
[00:15:38] contributes to simply generally, instead of large
[00:15:41] price fluctuations, over time, when enough of these facilities come online, the price of electricity will flatten
[00:15:45] out more. The mill was put into operation in
[00:15:49] 2013, and now Gunnar Lisby has spent a single-digit
[00:15:52] million sum to connect the battery. He has the same plan
[00:15:56] for another mill in the area, which will get a double-sized
[00:15:58] battery.
[00:16:00] So my interest will, of course, always be peaks, because then I earn more money,
[00:16:04] so I myself contribute to creating a cannibalization
[00:16:08] of this, but that's what we all need, and we need it at a
[00:16:11] time when we have problems with the overall grid, that it is
[00:16:14] simply too burdened. Our
[00:16:17] electricity consumption is rising significantly as society becomes more
[00:16:21] electrified and more large data centers are popping up. This
[00:16:24] means that our electricity grid is having difficulty keeping up. Here, batteries, like the one in
[00:16:28] Kigenborg, can help relieve
[00:16:30] the grid. I think we should have more of these kinds of
[00:16:33] solutions, it's something that can benefit all of us, but we need
[00:16:37] that, uh, Energinet and the grid companies also
[00:16:41] come out with more products here.
[00:16:44] The electricity grid is struggling so much that Energinet has temporarily made a
[00:16:48] stop for new large grid connections, stopped. This also affects large
[00:16:52] batteries that draw power from the grid, and this is met with harsh criticism
[00:16:55] from Danish business, who calls it a scandal. One
[00:16:59] actually sees investments in batteries on a massive scale
[00:17:02] in the rest of Europe, but not in Denmark. Uh, so
[00:17:06] here we are not a pioneering country - yes, and certainly not when
[00:17:09] one has said that one cannot do anything at all, because there is nothing that can come onto the electricity grid, that goes without
[00:17:13] saying, then we are almost a developing country, as it is today,
[00:17:16] hopefully that will change in
[00:17:17] the future.
[00:17:21] Copenhagen is this weekend host city for the World Championships
[00:17:24] road race. Today it's the half marathon through the
[00:17:27] Copenhagen
[00:17:28] streets.
[00:17:32] And it happened, and then we are out. Both
[00:17:36] the world elite and thousands of recreational runners will run
[00:17:39] the half marathon distance. The race starts and
[00:17:42] finishes in Fælledparken in Østerbro. And Tobias
[00:17:46] Bolt, our reporter in
[00:17:47] the area,
[00:17:50] you almost look like someone, I can see, who is ready to run, what
[00:17:54] kind of day will it be?
[00:17:57] Yes, I haven't put on my running clothes, but it will be a huge, huge day, this is the
[00:18:01] biggest running event that has ever been held on
[00:18:04] Danish soil, so there's quite a lot of quiet right now around
[00:18:08] the finish line here on Øster Alle in Østerbro, but a little later it will be
[00:18:11] swarming with people, 45,000 registered for this
[00:18:15] half marathon, and it's both happy recreational runners, but it's also
[00:18:18] the world elite who are at the start, there are both world champions and Olympic medalists
[00:18:22] in this race, so it will be a huge morning. And what
[00:18:26] does it mean that both the world elite and amateur runners
[00:18:29] participate, how will it affect the city and the atmosphere along
[00:18:33] the route?
[00:18:36] Well, that makes this something very special, that happy recreational runners
[00:18:40] try their hand at the same route as the world elite, and if
[00:18:43] not running side by side, then at least they can compare themselves, that's what makes it
[00:18:47] so special, that this is a World Championship, and that there are so many of the great
[00:18:51] stars, you can also feel the atmosphere when you walk around here around
[00:18:54] Fælledparken and feel that tingling anticipation
[00:18:58] among all the many recreational runners who are registered for this
[00:19:01] race, and then the question is whether the weather will be dry
[00:19:04] also in the rest of the country, it's...
[00:19:07] unfortunately not, we have started the day with real autumn weather with both
[00:19:11] rain and bluster, but in some places there is also dry
[00:19:14] sunshine right now, but during the morning, more and more
[00:19:18] showers will gradually come, and they will, throughout the day, dribble across the country from
[00:19:22] west to east. These showers can locally be relatively strong
[00:19:26] and also with a risk of hail and thunder.
[00:19:29] Temperatures will top out at 14-15-16 degrees,
[00:19:33] but it will feel noticeably cooler, because the wind
[00:19:36] is also a significant factor today, we will have a
[00:19:40] fresh to strong wind across the country, along the coasts, locally up to
[00:19:44] cooling, and with some strong gusts of wind that can easily reach stormy
[00:19:47] cooling, and in connection with the strongest showers, one can even get
[00:19:51] wind gusts of storm force. Here we can see how
[00:19:54] the strongest wind field moves throughout the day, starting out at the Jutland
[00:19:57] west coast, moving up into Skagerrak, Kattegat and finally
[00:20:01] also over the Baltic Sea, so yes, real autumn weather here
[00:20:04] Sunday.
[00:20:16] Good morning, here's the latest news from TV Avisen.
[00:20:19] Foreign Minister Lars Lykke Rasmussen travels to the USA today,
[00:20:23] where Denmark, Greenland and the USA next week are scheduled to
[00:20:26] sign an agreement on Greenland's future.
[00:20:29] This image is from Donald Trump's Truth Social post, where he
[00:20:33] wrote on Friday evening that an agreement is in place.
[00:20:37] The content of the new agreement has not yet been published, but the parties have
[00:20:41] apparently agreed that the Commonwealth will continue. The
[00:20:44] same applies to Greenland's right to self-determination, and that
[00:20:48] the USA will gain control over security in Greenland and will increase its military
[00:20:52] presence immediately. The agreement is
[00:20:54] scheduled to be signed at a ceremony in connection with
[00:20:58] the UN General Assembly in New York, and until then, the
[00:21:02] exercise is to remain calm. There
[00:21:05] are many who have opinions about this. There are very few who have yet
[00:21:09] seen the agreement text, and I think that the Danish government, at least,
[00:21:13] just hopes that they can get as much calm as possible, so they can
[00:21:17] get the agreement signed, so that there aren't suddenly
[00:21:21] situations that could jeopardize this from happening, because
[00:21:24] I also have to say that the people I have spoken to say that
[00:21:28] along the way it has been very close to going wrong, meaning that they were at a
[00:21:32] point where an agreement could not be reached, which they have now
[00:21:34] obtained.
[00:21:37] Yesterday evening, Donald Trump shared the front page of the New
[00:21:41] York Post, where they write Green New Deal, US
[00:21:44] military's eternal right over Greenland. This suggests
[00:21:48] that the White House succeeded in selling the agreement as a victory for
[00:21:52] Americans, it sounds.
[00:21:55] Now they have achieved what they wanted, uh, it may
[00:21:59] not be ownership, but now they have at least gained
[00:22:02] permanent, as it states, military control
[00:22:06] of Greenland, uh, there, that's not all that's in that tweet
[00:22:10] that Donald Trump sent out, and not in that front page, which is not entirely
[00:22:13] correct, but in reality, no one
[00:22:16] has such a very concrete interest in finding out
[00:22:20] who is exactly right, as long as the three parties can agree
[00:22:24] that this is a good agreement, then I think that in
[00:22:27] reality, Mitte Frederiksen and Jens Frederik Nielsen from Greenland can
[00:22:31] live with Trump going out and saying things that are not entirely
[00:22:34] correct. Until the signature is in place, Danish
[00:22:38] business is approaching the new agreement on Greenland's
[00:22:41] future with some caution. I
[00:22:44] think, a little calm for now, and then let's see the
[00:22:48] agreement specifically, so we know it's signed and see what the content
[00:22:51] is. But when the ink from the signatures is dry, then
[00:22:55] Danish business looks forward to
[00:22:57] stability.
[00:23:00] I think we should wait to sell the skin before the bear is
[00:23:03] shot, but it is clear that increased stability around
[00:23:07] the Commonwealth, well, that is good for Danish business, it is
[00:23:11] good for Greenlandic business, it is good for investments, because the worst thing
[00:23:14] business knows is uncertainty and change, this can provide
[00:23:18] stability, that is good, and precisely the last
[00:23:22] point, a large American military presence in a part of
[00:23:25] Greenland, can be good business for the country, so says
[00:23:29] Greenland's economy. business. We are talking about some
[00:23:33] military installations, and we are actually used to that in a Greenlandic context. We had Gangers
[00:23:36] Ludsvark until '92, we had Nassarg until sometime in the 50s, we
[00:23:40] still have Bitofix space space, so seen with
[00:23:43] Greenlandic glasses and Greenlandic business glasses, there are
[00:23:46] some opportunities to service these bases in
[00:23:49] various ways, just like we have been used to, just like we do with both Danish and American
[00:23:53] defense.
[00:23:57] In Russia, the election for the Russian lower house, the Duma,
[00:24:01] will be decided today. It is the first election since the invasion of
[00:24:04] Ukraine, therefore the election also includes voters from the four
[00:24:07] Ukrainian regions that Russia has illegally
[00:24:10] annexed. In the last election, President Putin's
[00:24:13] supporting party, United Russia, won 324 of the
[00:24:17] Duma's 450 seats. It requires 300
[00:24:20] seats to be able to implement constitutional amendments without
[00:24:23] parties. 111
[00:24:26] million Russians have been able to cast their votes since Friday, and it is
[00:24:30] important to them, according to the people our
[00:24:34] reporter in Moscow has spoken
[00:24:35] with.
[00:24:41] our voice decides, maybe one single voice,
[00:24:44] which will decide this
[00:24:47] country.
[00:25:20] advises on awakening to the war,
[00:25:23] ude og opfordre folk til at stemme, det gjorde han før valghandlingen, og som vi også
[00:25:27] just heard this couple tell, but it is important for them to
[00:25:31] why they are voting, it is
[00:25:34] because, well, it is the only
[00:25:38] said that, there is dissatisfaction, there is dissatisfaction with the
[00:25:42] war, which is now in its fifth year, and the consequences people feel,
[00:25:45] price increases, repeated attacks, among others, here in
[00:25:48] Moscow, uh. But what it is about is to show that there is unity
[00:25:52] here. If you look at those who are in some form of opposition, then
[00:25:56] this election is simply about demonstrating the exact opposite,
[00:25:59] namely that one does not want the candidates from United. and one wants something
[00:26:03] protest votes find
[00:26:06] expression?
[00:26:12] What has been called for, and this applies both in the country itself, but also
[00:26:15] from exiled politicians especially, it's about saying, well, if you
[00:26:19] are going to take part in this election, so-called election, to
[00:26:23] demonstrate, then you must cast blank votes, you
[00:26:26] must vote for all candidates who are not
[00:26:30] from United Russia, just to show that you want something else. Having
[00:26:33] said that, it is also important to say that there are no parties that are running
[00:26:37] that are directly against the war. The only party that has expressed a stance
[00:26:41] that is against the war, they have simply not been allowed to run, so you could
[00:26:45] say there might be protest votes, but it might be difficult to see if it will even mean
[00:26:49] anything for the result, so Louise, do we already know the result before
[00:26:52] the polling stations
[00:26:53] close?
[00:26:59] I think I might put my head on the block and say, won't it be... will it be United
[00:27:03] Russia that wins the majority of the votes here? This morning, I think
[00:27:07] they had already registered around 45%,
[00:27:10] almost, who have voted, and I don't think the result will be a big
[00:27:14] surprise. It will probably be the same four or five parties that end up in parliament,
[00:27:18] and as I said, the president's supporting party, which wins the majority of
[00:27:21] the votes.
[00:27:24] Russia goes to the polls while the country is at war with Ukraine, and on
[00:27:28] election day, Moscow and its surroundings have also been targeted by
[00:27:31] attacks with several hundred drones. An oil refinery near
[00:27:35] Moscow has been hit, two have lost their lives and another six
[00:27:39] are injured, and back to you Louise, last night there were
[00:27:42] drone attacks around Moscow. How do Russians
[00:27:46] feel the war?
[00:27:51] I think one should remember that there is a big difference between what happens here in
[00:27:54] Moscow and perhaps even St. Petersburg, the other big city here, and what
[00:27:58] else happens around the country. Here in Moscow, where I am, and in central Moscow,
[00:28:02] you actually don't really feel anything. It's hard to see on the street, uh, there might be
[00:28:06] some posters, some advertisements from the national guard, they would probably have been there
[00:28:10] anyway, so it's not like there are air raid sirens and it's ringing and all
[00:28:14] that. You have to go a bit out to see some of these attacks or the consequences of
[00:28:17] them, so there's not much to feel here, but if you go further out, if you go further down
[00:28:21] towards the border regions, then it's of course something completely different. Here people also talk a bit more
[00:28:25] openly about what's going on, uh, so therefore you can say, here in the center of
[00:28:29] power, it's not here that you feel the big difference. And in the
[00:28:32] latest episode of "War's Day," you can see what consequences it has for
[00:28:36] the Russian army at the front when misinformation spreads between
[00:28:40] the military and the political top. You can find "War's Day"
[00:28:43] on there TV.
[00:28:47] The British pop singer Ed Sheeran is now apologizing and
[00:28:51] putting words to the conflict between Israel and Palestine after weeks of
[00:28:55] massive criticism. I am making mistakes and I'm
[00:28:59] so so sorry, what happened in Israel and at the... music
[00:29:02] festival on October 7th was horrific and compounded
[00:29:06] centuries of Jewish pain. What is
[00:29:09] happening in Gaza is a catastrophic and
[00:29:12] unjustifiable and disproportionate. My heart has
[00:29:16] been broken by the scale of devastation and loss of civilians'
[00:29:20] lives. The pop singer has been in the spotlight
[00:29:24] for the past week after rapper Macklemore was removed as
[00:29:27] the opening act for a Sheeran tour for expressing
[00:29:30] pro-Palestinian messages from the stage. It was
[00:29:33] the organizer behind the tour who made the decision to
[00:29:36] exclude Michael Moore. Since then, the Danish band Lukas
[00:29:40] Graham and other opening acts have withdrawn
[00:29:43] from the tour in protest, and yesterday, Sheeran therefore took to the
[00:29:47] stage without support, but he emphasizes that the tour
[00:29:50] will continue.
[00:29:57] who I am, and that is why I'm here tonight on my
[00:30:00] own and continuing my current.
[00:30:04] outside Lincoln Financial Field, where the concert
[00:30:07] was held, pro-Palestinian demonstrators
[00:30:11] showed up to express their dissatisfaction with
[00:30:13] the pop singer.
[00:30:20] I feel fairly betrayed um as a former fan um
[00:30:23] because I think that doing the right thing is is stronger
[00:30:27] and uh is more important than than his music or him
[00:30:31] as a celebrity.
[00:30:35] Now we're going back home. The electricity price this week has hit its highest level in
[00:30:39] almost two years, with a price of seven kroner per kilowatt
[00:30:42] hour. However, prices fluctuate wildly, sometimes it costs zero
[00:30:46] kroner to charge your car or turn on the washing machine. These
[00:30:49] fluctuations, a wind turbine owner will now try to do something about. Therefore,
[00:30:53] he has, as the first in Denmark, connected a large battery to a
[00:30:56] wind turbine. That battery that is standing there.
