[00:00:00] uh, we will do, that is, we are used to being able to make agreements with
[00:00:03] each other uh in all sorts of different contexts, uh, we
[00:00:07] have spent a lot of time on this here, we have politically, and we have
[00:00:10] diplomatically, and may I also not in that connection say thank you, that is, say
[00:00:14] thank you to especially our very close cooperation with Nalaga
[00:00:18] Suissut, thanks to all the parties in the Folketing that have
[00:00:22] supported now two different Danish governments in a difficult
[00:00:25] situation, also thanks to Truels Lund, who was Minister of Defense when this
[00:00:29] - seriously broke out, that is, there are a lot of people who have a stake in this, and that is
[00:00:33] both in the visible work, and that is in the
[00:00:36] invisible work, that is, there are many hours that have been put
[00:00:39] into this, both by people you know well, including myself and other
[00:00:43] politicians, but also the many civil servants who have worked hard to get
[00:00:48] 347 million kroner in this in place, are you looking forward to meeting Trump, we have had your conflicts,
[00:00:51] yes, that is, I have a, I have an excellent relationship with the American
[00:00:54] president, and and that is, in an unquiet
[00:00:57] world, I believe this agreement is good for our security
[00:01:01] um, both seen with European
[00:01:03] glasses, when one looks at it as a community of the realm, but also when one looks
[00:01:07] at it with NATO glasses and thus on both sides of the Atlantic.
[00:01:11] Will you physically meet with Donald Trump in New York here? Yes, I will, and
[00:01:23] the election for the Russian lower house, the Duma, will be decided today,
[00:01:26] however, without real opposition politicians.
[00:01:29] were forbidden to run, or they fled. This is the first
[00:01:33] election since the country's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, and last night, the war
[00:01:37] could be felt in Moscow and the surrounding area, which was targeted by attacks with several hundred
[00:01:40] drones. The drones attacked among other things, an oil refinery near
[00:01:44] Moscow. According to the city's mayor, this is an
[00:01:48] unprecedented attack. He states that over 1600 drones
[00:01:51] were shot down, of which 450 were fired towards
[00:01:55] the capital. Two have lost their lives and six more are
[00:01:58] injured. It is present in Russia for the first time in more than
[00:02:02] four years, our reporters must not move freely according to the Russian
[00:02:06] authorities, but there are no restrictions on whom DR
[00:02:09] can and may speak with. In Moscow, our reporter has therefore met
[00:02:13] some of the Russians who have shown up for today's
[00:02:15] election.
[00:02:18] I am standing here at a polling station in central Moscow. I am at a
[00:02:22] school where the clock has now passed 12, and that is the time
[00:02:25] when the opposition and activists, especially Russians living
[00:02:29] outside. Russia have encouraged people here to go and
[00:02:32] stand at the polling stations to thereby quietly express
[00:02:36] their dissatisfaction uh and show that there are still people
[00:02:40] here who are against this election who are against the president and
[00:02:44] the current policy and not least of course the war that is going on here
[00:02:47] for the fifth year now, but it is not because there are long
[00:02:51] queues here either inside or for that matter
[00:02:54] outside uh so if the protests are happening then it is certainly not
[00:02:58] here. I spoke a short while ago. with a lady who did not want to appear on
[00:03:02] camera, she actually did not really want to talk to me
[00:03:04] five years now, but it is because as she said, this is not a free country uh, and I am
[00:03:07] nervous about what will happen if I talk to you, uh, and that in itself
[00:03:11] is perhaps also indicative of how people feel about
[00:03:15] expressing themselves here, and there is a lot at stake for Putin, because even if the
[00:03:19] election result does not reflect it, the population can show its
[00:03:23] dissatisfaction with the regime, so says the assessment from Flemming
[00:03:26] Svidsbol, senior researcher at hostis, there is
[00:03:29] an opportunity for. people can in various ways express their dissatisfaction, they can stay
[00:03:33] generally uh on everything in home, or they can show up here, as we heard in the report at specific times and
[00:03:36] perhaps be reassured and confirmed that others think as they
[00:03:40] do, they can try to vote for some of the other parties than
[00:03:44] Putin's party, for example, so there are some small things they can do, so there is a lot at
[00:03:47] stake. And then we can say, if we are to look behind the
[00:03:51] election result, what is the most important sign to watch today
[00:03:55] to understand how Russia is doing
[00:03:57] right now,
[00:03:59] difficult with the election result, it will be decided in an office, somewhere in
[00:04:03] the Kremlin, how the votes will be distributed in the end, I will
[00:04:06] keep an eye on whether United Russia, Putin's party, performs
[00:04:10] even better than they usually do, or whether the government
[00:04:14] might think, people know that, it is not realistic, we will just lower it a bit, we will let them
[00:04:17] have a small setback, um, which parties get in can also
[00:04:21] be interesting, there is not much excitement about that either, but there might also be a
[00:04:25] little bit, but the entire election is overshadowed by Russia being
[00:04:29] under pressure, and that shows.
[00:04:31] and in recent times, Ukraine has carried out several drone attacks deep inside
[00:04:35] Russia, and last night, Moscow experienced, according to the mayor, a comprehensive
[00:04:38] drone attack. Can such attacks affect the mood around
[00:04:42] the election? Yes, it can definitely affect
[00:04:46] the mood around the election, and it can affect the mood in general, even
[00:04:50] state-controlled polling institutes, even state-controlled
[00:04:53] experts in Russia say that the mood is heavy, and they say that
[00:04:57] Russians are less concerned about what happens as it were. in Ukraine,
[00:05:01] the war in Ukraine, the consequences of the war for themselves, so that has also
[00:05:04] changed, and they feel pressure now, partly due to these violent scenes
[00:05:08] that we see on the screen. There has long been speculation that Putin will launch
[00:05:12] a new round of mobilization for the war in
[00:05:14] Ukraine after the election, is that likely?
[00:05:18] There are strong rumors about it, Russians also react to these rumors, Russian
[00:05:22] men are leaving Russia in quite large numbers, they primarily do so down
[00:05:26] by Georgia, where they can cross the border and then get to safety in
[00:05:29] Georgia, uh, and the rumors of mobilization are aimed at
[00:05:32] trying to create new momentum in the war, trying to send perhaps
[00:05:36] 200, 300, 400,000 new soldiers to the front, and then from
[00:05:40] the Russian side hoping that it can deliver the breakthrough that has not been achieved now for
[00:05:43] a very long
[00:05:44] time.
[00:05:48] Lolland municipality faces massive savings, and now both
[00:05:52] citizens and an expert say that the austerity measure could cost several small
[00:05:55] island communities their lives. As part of the plan to close a hole of
[00:06:00] the municipal coffers. The municipality will among other things, save on
[00:06:03] ferry operations. This means far fewer departures to the islands
[00:06:07] Fejø, Askø and
[00:06:17] island life for the family, says Louisa Mia Poulsen, who commutes
[00:06:20] with two small children to Lolland.
[00:06:24] Well, for us it's really bad, because uh, we used to
[00:06:27] be able to take the ferry earlier in the morning, and the children could go to
[00:06:31] kindergarten and uh and
[00:06:34] nursery, so that they could play with other children, because there are no
[00:06:38] others here, and then we could come home with a ferry at two o'clock and...
[00:06:42] home at three o'clock, and that was okay, I think. The past
[00:06:46] year, besides Femø, the family has also had a house in
[00:06:49] Lolland. The adults used it while the children were in institutions, or
[00:06:53] if the ferry service was unstable, and the house may
[00:06:56] end up becoming their home instead of the country house here on Femø, if
[00:07:00] the number of daily crossings is reduced from seven to
[00:07:03] four. So now there is a prospect of the ferry sailing at
[00:07:06] five, so we are home at six in the evening, and we have to get up again
[00:07:10] next morning with a ferry at six.
[00:07:13] and that will be too, that will be too much hassle, and if it ends
[00:07:16] up like that, the family is considering moving away from
[00:07:19] Femø completely, it hurts, I get sad
[00:07:22] about it, because this is the dream, right, this
[00:07:26] is the most wonderful place in the whole world, that
[00:07:30] is Femø, and it is a big savings exercise that Lolland is undertaking,
[00:07:34] says Jens Vesterskov Andersen, who researches Danish
[00:07:37] small islands at Lund University. It is completely
[00:07:41] unprecedented. hitherto in the history of local government, that a
[00:07:44] municipal ferry service has been degraded to such a great
[00:07:47] extent, so I can only fear what the consequences will be for
[00:07:50] the island's settlement uh
[00:07:53] going forward. Lolland municipality expects to save
[00:07:57] somewhere between 8.5 and 10 million by sailing with
[00:08:00] two ferries instead of three, to the islands Fejø, Askø and
[00:08:04] Femø, and that money is needed to make ends meet in
[00:08:07] Lolland municipality, says Henrik Jacobsen, he is the conservative
[00:08:11] chairman for the climate, technology and
[00:08:14] environment committee. Well, then we can save
[00:08:18] something a a a shift. We can save some some
[00:08:22] staffing, and that provides a quite large saving
[00:08:25] for the municipality, considering that we have to
[00:08:28] save, generally, on
[00:08:31] everything in the municipality, ferries, schools,
[00:08:35] halls, elderly centers, and so on, and so on, and so
[00:11:21] weather, there are local showers all around.
[00:11:25] around the country, it will continue throughout the day, and some of the showers
[00:11:28] can be heavy, perhaps with thunder, and perhaps with
[00:11:32] hail. In between there will be room for the sun to peek through, but it will be
[00:11:36] mostly an overcast, rainy, and also
[00:11:38] windy day. We will have a fresh to strong wind across the country, especially along
[00:11:42] the northwest-facing coasts, it will be quite windy
[00:11:46] with up to gale force winds and strong
[00:11:49] gusts, which can reach stormy gale force, we have actually already registered that
[00:11:52] here in Northwest Jutland. During the day, this strongest
[00:11:56] wind field will gradually move down across the Kattegat and
[00:12:00] also eventually reach the Baltic Sea area, so
[00:12:03] a day with rain and bluster and also locally a little
[00:12:06] sunshine. It will also be a bit windy tomorrow, Monday, but otherwise
[00:12:10] mostly stable weather, dry and relatively sunny until a new
[00:12:14] front system with rain knocks on again on
[00:12:17] Wednesday.
[00:12:29] We are currently updating with the latest news. Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and Greenland's
[00:12:33] head of government Jens Frederik Nielsen are on their way to the USA, where
[00:12:36] Denmark, Greenland and the USA next week will sign an agreement on
[00:12:40] Greenland's future. We managed to speak with the Prime Minister before she
[00:12:43] boarded the plane to New York. Many
[00:12:47] months of work, and after many
[00:12:50] months of negotiations, we are approaching a good.
[00:12:53] agreement, an agreement that is good for Greenland, for
[00:12:56] the Kingdom of Denmark, an agreement that is good for the USA, an agreement that is good
[00:13:00] for Europe, and when it is, when it is good for all
[00:13:03] of us, who have been close allies for many, many years, then it is
[00:13:07] also good for NATO, and thus for our security
[00:13:11] as Europeans, and
[00:13:14] of course, especially in relation to the Arctic area,
[00:13:17] um, I understand well that there is great
[00:13:21] curiosity about the content of. the agreement, of course, this
[00:13:24] is something that concerns us all together, and it is also something that has concerned us all
[00:13:28] together, not least the Greenlandic population, but uh, in
[00:13:32] respect for the last few days, and everything must be in place as an agreement, so
[00:13:36] I will not be able to go into the concrete content,
[00:13:39] but I can say that what has of course been absolutely crucial for us
[00:13:42] in these negotiations, it has both been the desire to strengthen
[00:13:46] security in the very, very turbulent world we are in, and also that
[00:13:50] what we have called the red lines must be respected, that is, that we are a
[00:13:54] sovereign state, the Kingdom of Denmark, that the Greenlanders' right to
[00:13:57] self-determination must also be respected in the future,
[00:14:01] and what we call such territorial integrity, um, and that is, that is all something that
[00:14:05] is contained in this. Is Donald Trump exaggerating when he
[00:14:08] says that the USA will have permanent control over Greenland and
[00:14:12] security in Greenland and other American needs one might have in Greenland. I will
[00:14:15] not go into the substance of this now, and
[00:14:19] there are many speculations, and I understand well that there is a great
[00:14:22] interest, of course, in what the concrete content is, but I will not go into,
[00:14:26] so to speak, the concrete content until we have a signed agreement, they can
[00:14:29] describe Greenlanders who get stomach aches when they receive these messages from the
[00:14:32] American president, don't you owe, and don't you have a duty to go out and like give
[00:14:36] your explanation of this agreement? I understand
[00:14:39] well that people are interested in what this will
[00:14:42] specifically mean, and that applies of course
[00:14:46] particularly in Greenland, where one has been through a
[00:14:49] very, very difficult period, I will say quite
[00:14:52] generally, that I will not myself put my signature on an agreement,
[00:14:55] and I know that Jens Frederik Nielsen will not put his signature on an agreement, if it
[00:14:59] was not good for Greenland and for the Kingdom, have you
[00:15:03] received, have you received a guarantee that this agreement satisfies all
[00:15:07] American interests in Greenland, well, I will not
[00:15:10] go into the concrete content, and it is not, and it is certainly not because I do not acknowledge that
[00:15:13] you are asking the question, and I understand well that everyone, especially
[00:15:17] in Greenland, is very, of course, interested in what this
[00:15:21] agreement specifically says, but we will only have an agreement
[00:15:25] in a few days, that is, a final agreement in a few days, it is only then that I will say something about
[00:15:28] the content, President Trump, he says the agreement is really good for the USA, but what is
[00:15:32] Denmark giving up? well, the agreement is good. good for
[00:15:36] Greenland, the agreement is good for the Kingdom of Denmark, the agreement is also good for
[00:15:40] the USA, and it is good for our NATO alliance in an increasingly turbulent
[00:15:43] world, and it is good seen with European glasses, but I cannot, I cannot
[00:15:47] go into the concrete content yet. How sure are you that Trump will
[00:15:51] comply with the agreement after he has signed it? Well, I assume
[00:15:55] that everyone will do so, that is, we are used to being able to make
[00:15:58] agreements with each other uh
[00:16:02] in all sorts of different contexts. We have spent a lot
[00:16:05] of time on this, we have politically, and we have diplomatically, and may I
[00:16:09] also not in that connection say thank you, that is, say thank you
[00:16:12] to, especially our very close cooperation with Nalaga
[00:16:16] Suissut, thanks to all the parties in the Folketing that have
[00:16:19] supported now two different Danish governments in a difficult
[00:16:23] situation, also thanks to Troels Lund, who was Minister of Defense, when this really
[00:16:27] broke out, that is, there are a lot of people who have a stake in this, and that is
[00:16:31] both in the visible work, and that is in the invisible work, that is,
[00:16:35] many hours have been put in. into this, both by people you know
[00:16:39] well, including myself and other politicians, but also the many
[00:16:43] civil servants who have worked hard to get this in place, are you looking forward to meeting Trump, we have
[00:16:47] had your conflicts, yes, that is, I have a, I have an
[00:16:50] excellent relationship with the American president, and and
[00:16:53] that is, in an unquiet world, I believe this
[00:16:57] agreement is good for our security, uh, both seen with
[00:17:00] European glasses, when one looks at it as a
[00:17:03] community of the realm, but also when one looks at it with NATO glasses and thus on both
[00:17:07] sides of the Atlantic. Will you physically meet with Donald Trump in New York
[00:17:20] the election for the Russian lower house Duma will be decided today.
[00:17:24] It is the first election since the country's full-scale invasion of Ukraine,
[00:17:27] and last night the war could be felt in Moscow and the surrounding area, which was targeted by
[00:17:31] attacks with several hundred drones. The drones attacked
[00:17:34] among other things an oil refinery near Moscow. According to the city's
[00:17:38] mayor, this is an unprecedented attack. He
[00:17:41] reports that over 1600 drones were shot down, of which
[00:17:45] 450 were fired towards the capital. Two have lost
[00:17:48] their lives and six more are injured. It is
[00:17:52] present in Russia for the first time in more than four years. Our reporters
[00:17:56] are not allowed to move freely from the Russian authorities, but there are no
[00:17:59] restrictions on whom DR can and may speak with. In
[00:18:03] Moscow, our reporter has therefore met some of the Russians who have shown up for
[00:18:07] today's election.
[00:18:10] I am standing here at a polling station in central Moscow. I am at a
[00:18:14] school where the clock has now passed 12, and that is the time when
[00:18:17] the opposition and activists, especially
[00:18:20] Russians living outside Russia, have urged people to go
[00:18:24] and stand at the polling stations, to thereby quietly express their
[00:18:27] dissatisfaction, and show that there are still people here who
[00:18:30] are against this election, who are against the president and
[00:18:34] the current policy and not least of course the
[00:18:38] war that has been going on here for
[00:18:41] not because there are long queues here either inside
[00:18:45] or for that matter outside, uh, so if the
[00:18:48] protests are happening, then it is certainly not here. I spoke a short while
[00:18:51] ago with a lady who did not want to appear on camera, she actually did not really want to talk to me
[00:18:55] like that, because as she said, this is not a free country, and
[00:18:59] I am nervous about what will happen if I talk to you, and that in
[00:19:02] itself is perhaps also indicative of how people feel about
[00:19:06] expressing themselves. here, and there is a lot at stake for
[00:19:10] Putin, because even if the election result does not reflect it, the population can
[00:19:13] show its dissatisfaction with the regime, according to Flemming
[00:19:17] Spidesbol, senior researcher at hostis. There is
[00:19:21] an opportunity for people to express their dissatisfaction in various ways, they can stay
[00:19:24] home, or they can show up here, as we heard in the report at specific times and perhaps
[00:19:28] be comforted and confirmed that others think as they do,
[00:19:32] they can try to vote for some of the other parties than Putin's
[00:19:36] party, for example, so there are some small things they can do, so there is a lot at
[00:19:39] stake. And then we can say, if we are to look behind
[00:19:43] the election result, what is the most important sign to watch today,
[00:19:47] to understand how Russia is doing
[00:19:49] right now, it is difficult with the election result, it will be
[00:19:53] decided in an office, somewhere in the Kremlin, how the votes will be
[00:19:56] distributed in the end, uh, I will keep an eye on whether
[00:20:00] United Russia, Putin's party, performs even better than they
[00:20:04] usually do, or whether the government might think, people know that. It's not
[00:20:07] realistic, we'll just dial it down a bit, we'll let them have a small setback,
[00:20:11] um, which parties get in can also be interesting, there's not much
[00:20:15] excitement about that either, but there might also be a little bit, but the entire election
[00:20:19] is overshadowed by Russia being pressured, and that shows public opinion
[00:20:22] too, and in recent times, Ukraine has carried out several drone attacks
[00:20:26] deep inside Russia, and last night Moscow experienced, according to the mayor, a
[00:20:29] comprehensive drone attack. Can such attacks affect the mood
[00:20:33] around the election?
[00:20:36] Yes, it can certainly uh. affect the mood around the election, and it can affect
[00:20:40] the mood in general, even state-controlled polling institutes, even
[00:20:44] state-controlled experts in Russia say that
[00:20:47] the mood is heavy, and they say that Russians are less concerned about
[00:20:51] what happens as it were in Ukraine, the war in Ukraine, than the consequences of the
[00:20:54] war for themselves, so that has also changed, and they feel pressure now,
[00:20:58] partly because of these violent scenes that we see on the screen. There has long
[00:21:01] been speculation that Putin will start a new
[00:21:05] round of mobilization for the war in Ukraine after the election. Is that
[00:21:08] likely? There are strong rumors about it, Russians
[00:21:12] also react to these rumors. Russian men are leaving Russia in quite large
[00:21:15] numbers. They do so primarily down by Georgia, where they can drive across
[00:21:19] the border. then they come to safety in Georgia uh, and the rumors about
[00:21:23] mobilization are aimed at trying to create new momentum in the war,
[00:21:27] trying to send perhaps 200, 300, 400,000 new soldiers
[00:21:30] to the front, and then from the Russian side hoping that it can deliver the breakthrough that
[00:21:34] has not been achieved now for a very long
[00:21:36] time.
[00:21:40] Lolland municipality faces massive savings, and now both
[00:21:44] citizens and an expert say that the austerity measure could cost several small
[00:21:47] island communities their lives. As part of the plan. to close a hole of
[00:21:50] 347 million kroner in the municipal coffers, the municipality will among other things
[00:21:54] save on ferry operations, which means far fewer departures to
[00:21:58] the islands of Fejø, Askø and
[00:22:09] for the family, says Louise Mia Poulsen, who commutes with two small
[00:22:13] children to Lolland.
[00:22:15] Well, for us it's really bad, because uh, we were used to
[00:22:19] able to take the ferry earlier in the morning, and the children could go to
[00:22:23] kindergarten and uh and
[00:22:26] nursery, so that they could have other children to play
[00:22:29] with, because there are no others here, and then we could come
[00:22:32] home with a ferry at two and be home three o'clock, and that was okay,
[00:22:36] I think. The past year, the family, in addition to
[00:22:39] Femø, also had a house on Lolland, which the adults
[00:22:43] used, while the children were in daycare, or if the ferry service has been
[00:22:46] unstable, and the house may end up becoming their home instead.
[00:22:50] the country estate here on Femø, if the number of daily crossings is reduced
[00:22:53] from seven to four. So now it looks
[00:22:56] like the ferry will first sail at five, then we'll be home at six
[00:23:00] in the evening, and we have to get up again the next morning with a ferry at
[00:23:03] six, and that will be for it will be too
[00:23:06] troublesome. And if it ends up like that, the family is considering
[00:23:10] moving from Femø altogether.
[00:23:12] It hurts, I get sad about it, because
[00:23:16] this is the dream, isn't it? This is what it is.
[00:23:20] The most wonderful place in the whole world, that's Femø, and it's a big
[00:23:23] savings exercise that Lolland is in, says Jens Vesterskov
[00:23:27] Andersen, who researches Danish small islands at Lund
[00:23:30] University. It's completely
[00:23:32] unprecedented in the history of local government
[00:23:36] that a municipal ferry service has been degraded to
[00:23:39] such a large extent, so I can only
[00:23:42] fear what consequences it will have for the island's
[00:23:45] settlement in the future.
[00:23:49] Lolland municipality for. it saves somewhere between 8.5 and 10
[00:23:52] million by sailing with two ferries instead of three, to the islands
[00:23:56] Fejø, Askø and Femø, and those funds are needed for the parents
[00:24:00] to make ends meet in Lolland municipality, says Henrik Jacobsen, he is
[00:24:03] conservative chairman of the climate, technology and
[00:24:06] environment committee. Well, then we can save
[00:24:10] something, a a a shift, we can save
[00:24:13] some staffing, and that gives a a quite large
[00:24:16] saving for the municipality, seen in light of the fact that we have to.
[00:24:20] save uh
[00:24:23] the municipality, ferries,
[00:24:26] schools, halls, elderly centers and so on and so on and so
[00:27:13] the weather. There are localized showers around
[00:27:16] the country. This will continue throughout the day. And some of the showers
[00:27:20] can be heavy, perhaps with thunder and perhaps with
[00:27:24] hail. In between, there is room for the sun to peek through, but it will be
[00:27:27] mostly an overcast rainy and also
[00:27:30] windy day. We will get a fresh. to strong wind over land, especially
[00:27:34] the northwest facing coasts, there it will be quite windy
[00:27:38] with up to cooling and with strong
[00:27:40] gusts that can reach stormy cooling, we have actually already registered
[00:27:44] here in northwest Jutland. throughout the day, this strongest
[00:27:48] wind field will gradually move down over the Kattegat and
[00:27:52] also eventually reach the Baltic Sea area, so
[00:27:54] a day with rain and wind and also locally a little
[00:27:58] sunshine. It will also be a bit windy tomorrow Monday, but
[00:28:01] otherwise. stable weather, dry and relatively sunny until a
[00:28:05] new front system, with rain knocking on the door again on Wednesday.
[00:28:21] We are currently covering the latest news. Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and
[00:28:24] Greenlandic Head of Government Jens Frederik Nielsen are on their way to the USA, where
[00:28:28] Denmark, Greenland and the USA next week will sign an agreement on
[00:28:31] Greenland's future. We managed to speak with the Prime Minister before she
[00:28:35] boarded the plane to New York. It is many
[00:28:39] months of work, and after many months of
[00:28:42] negotiations, we are approaching
[00:28:46] a good agreement. An agreement that is good for Greenland,
[00:28:50] for the Kingdom of Denmark. An agreement that is good for the USA. An agreement that is good
[00:28:54] for Europe. And when it is, when it is good for all
[00:28:57] of us, who for many, many years have been close allies, then it is
[00:29:01] also good for NATO. and thus for our security
[00:29:05] as Europeans uh, and of course especially in
[00:29:08] relation to the Arctic area.
[00:29:11] Um, I understand very well that there is great
[00:29:14] curiosity about the content of the agreement,
[00:29:17] of course, this is something that concerns us all, and it is also
[00:29:20] something that has worried us all, of course, not least the Greenlandic
[00:29:23] population, but uh, in respect for the the
[00:29:27] such the last days, and everything must be in place as an agreement, so
[00:29:31] I will not be able to go into the specific content,
[00:29:34] but I can say that what has of course been absolutely crucial for us in
[00:29:38] these negotiations, that has both been the desire to strengthen security
[00:29:42] in the very, very turbulent world we are in, and also that what we
[00:29:46] have called the red lines must be respected, i.e., that we are a
[00:29:49] sovereign state, the Kingdom of Denmark, that the Greenlanders' right to
[00:29:53] self-determination also in the future must be respected,
[00:29:57] and what we call such territorial integrity,
[00:30:00] um, and that is, that is all something that... contained in this,
[00:30:03] does Donald Trump exaggerate when he says that the US will have permanent
[00:30:07] control of Greenland and security in Greenland and other American
[00:30:10] needs that might arise in Greenland. I will not go into
[00:30:13] the substance of this now, and I there are many conjectures, and I
[00:30:17] understand very well that there is great interest, of course, in the specific
[00:30:21] content, but I will not go into the, one might say, specific
[00:30:24] content, before we have a signed agreement, we can describe Greenlanders who get
[00:30:28] upset when they receive these messages from the American president, don't you owe it, and don't you have
[00:30:31] a duty to? go out and explain this agreement? I understand
[00:30:34] very well that people are
[00:30:37] concerned about what this will specifically mean, and that applies
[00:30:40] especially in Greenland,
[00:30:43] where one has been through a very, very difficult period. I
[00:30:47] will say quite generally that I myself will not sign an agreement, and
[00:30:51] I know that Jens Frederik Nielsen will not sign his signature.
