[00:00:02] day with rain and strong winds and then occasionally a little
[00:00:06] sunshine, it will also be a bit windy tomorrow Monday, but otherwise
[00:00:09] mostly stable weather, dry and relatively sunny until a
[00:00:13] new frontal system, with rain knocking again on Wednesday.
[00:00:28] We are live again with the latest news, the Danish
[00:00:31] Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, together with Greenland's
[00:00:35] Minister for Foreign Affairs and Greenland's Head of Government,
[00:00:38] now on their way to the USA, for Denmark, Greenland, USA in the
[00:00:42] coming week to sign an agreement on Greenland's
[00:00:45] future. We spoke briefly with the Prime Minister before she set course
[00:00:49] for New York. I understand that people
[00:00:52] are concerned about what this will specifically mean, and that applies
[00:00:56] of course especially in Greenland, where...
[00:01:00] you have been through a very, very difficult period. I would say generally,
[00:01:03] I would not myself put my signature on an agreement, and I know that Jan
[00:01:07] Frederik Nielsen would not put his signature on an agreement if it was not good for Greenland
[00:01:11] and for the Kingdom. The content of the new agreement has not yet
[00:01:15] been published, but the parties have apparently agreed
[00:01:19] on, among other things, Greenland's right to self-determination, and that the USA
[00:01:23] will increase its military presence in Greenland.
[00:01:25] The agreement is scheduled to be signed at a ceremony in connection
[00:01:29] with the UN General Assembly in New York next week, an
[00:01:33] agreement that is good for Greenland, for the Kingdom of Denmark, an
[00:01:36] agreement that is good for the USA, an agreement that is good for Europe, and
[00:01:40] when it is, when it is good for all of us who
[00:01:44] have been close allies for many, many years, then it is also good for NATO
[00:01:47] and thus for our security as
[00:01:51] Europeans, and of course especially in relation to the
[00:01:54] Arctic region, um, I understand
[00:01:58] that there is a great deal of curiosity about the content of
[00:02:02] the agreement, of course, this is something that concerns all of us, and it
[00:02:06] is also something that has concerned all of us, of course not least the Greenlandic
[00:02:09] population, but uh, in respect for the last
[00:02:13] few days, and everything must be in place as an agreement, so
[00:02:16] I will not be able to go into the specific content,
[00:02:20] but I can say that what has of course been absolutely crucial for us
[00:02:24] in these negotiations, it has both been the desire to strengthen security
[00:02:27] in the very, very turbulent world we are in,
[00:02:30] and also that what we have called the red lines must be respected,
[00:02:33] that is, that we are a sovereign state, the Kingdom of Denmark, that
[00:02:37] the Greenlanders' right to self-determination must also be respected in the
[00:02:40] future, and what we call
[00:02:43] territorial integrity, um, and that is, that is all
[00:02:47] contained in this here.
[00:02:50] Greenland's head of government Jens Frederik Nielsen, who is currently on
[00:02:54] his way to New York, writes on Facebook: On
[00:02:57] my way across the Atlantic, I think of all of you who are
[00:03:00] at home, of the families, the children, the young and the elderly, of all those
[00:03:04] who have followed along and been worried about what the future would bring. I hope
[00:03:08] that we can now get more peace around our country, he
[00:03:11] writes. And before an agreement is signed, it
[00:03:15] will be sparse with information about what is
[00:03:19] in the agreement, according to the editor-in-chief of
[00:03:21] kongressen.com. It is at least not without reason that the Danish
[00:03:25] government leadership has chosen a line that communicatively
[00:03:28] says, don't comment on anything about the agreement before it is signed,
[00:03:32] because it is clear that it is fragile, and you never quite know with Trump, but everything indicates
[00:03:36] that this will hold, um, but it is clear, so there
[00:03:40] was also something at first, where one perhaps began to breathe a little calmer, when some of the
[00:03:44] conservative media interpreted it as a victory, and and that is
[00:03:47] also why one must expect that it will go home as planned with
[00:03:51] the signing here on Tuesday. This is
[00:03:54] your USA podcast Stars and Stripes delves deeper into the new
[00:03:57] agreement and what it can mean. Find the special
[00:04:00] episode in DR Audio or watch the program on DRTV right
[00:04:04] now.
[00:04:07] Now we go to Germany, where two big state elections can be a
[00:04:10] barometer for both the country's and Chancellor Merkel's
[00:04:13] future. For voters seem to be fleeing from his party CDU, while
[00:04:17] the far-right party Alternative for Germany
[00:04:20] is storming ahead. In the capital Berlin. Yes, the chancellor's party
[00:04:24] is facing a voter loss, and it could be even worse in the
[00:04:27] state of Mecklenburg.
[00:04:32] For the cup here, political change is brewing. The whole
[00:04:36] economic situation in Germany has
[00:04:39] actually gone very downhill, and now something has to happen.
[00:04:42] Anja Hünemörder Pritzner has always voted for the
[00:04:46] conservative CDU, but now she will vote for the far-right party
[00:04:49] AFD in today's state election in Mecklenburg
[00:04:52] Western Pomerania. I am extremely disappointed with the
[00:04:55] Chancellor, because I actually had hope
[00:04:59] when... Mr. of the economy and actually thought much
[00:05:02] more that he would really get into the economy.
[00:05:05] Two
[00:05:07] weeks ago, Alternative for Germany, AFD, became the largest
[00:05:11] party in Saxony. "We made history,
[00:05:14] we are taking back our
[00:05:18] country, it starts here in
[00:05:20] Saxony-Anhalt. The CDU, conversely, was
[00:05:23] halved, Chancellor Fredrik Smerz called the result the worst
[00:05:27] defeat for the party in years. We are
[00:05:30] all deeply shocked, we did not
[00:05:33] expect it in this form.
[00:05:37] Now the chancellor and CDU are facing an exam
[00:05:40] again, in addition to Mecklenburg."
[00:06:12] Many Germans are deeply dissatisfied and thus ready to
[00:06:15] give AFD a chance. How have the CDU and other parties
[00:06:19] tried to talk voters away from AFD in this
[00:06:22] election campaign?
[00:06:25] It has been done by telling them that what AFD promises, they will never
[00:06:29] be able to deliver, that the economic policy that AFD stands
[00:06:32] for, is deeply irresponsible, it may well be that it is not going very well economically, the other
[00:06:36] parties that are in power admit that it is not, but they say it will be even worse if
[00:06:40] AFD comes to power. They have never tried to govern before, and their economic program will
[00:06:44] blow a huge hole in the state treasury, so
[00:06:47] that, and then the other parties warn against it, because it is
[00:06:51] an extremist party, the other parties call it like the German
[00:06:55] intelligence services, an extreme party, with contacts
[00:06:58] to violent and neo-Nazi groups, and therefore the other
[00:07:02] parties say, you must not vote for FD, there is no
[00:07:05] indication that very many people will do that, very many people will do it
[00:07:08] anyway. Steen Matz is not on the ballot
[00:07:12] himself, but if the chancellor's party with Matz at the helm loses both state elections
[00:07:16] today and even loses power in the capital Berlin, can
[00:07:20] Matz then remain as the party's
[00:07:21] leader?
[00:07:24] That is a very good question, the German media ask
[00:07:27] themselves the same thing and have done so all week now,
[00:07:31] and there are many in his party who are very dissatisfied with him, it's not just the voters, it's
[00:07:35] also in his own party, only one third of the members of his
[00:07:38] party think he is doing well, so the pressure on him is absolutely
[00:07:41] enormous. As we heard in the segment here, he lost, was humiliated
[00:07:45] two weeks ago in Saxony-Anhalt, now he faces two more
[00:07:48] election defeats and perhaps, as we heard in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, the party could be
[00:07:52] completely out of parliament, that would be a
[00:07:55] disaster, and then the pressure on him will become
[00:07:59] so strong that it is not certain that his
[00:08:02] party colleagues around him can continue to support him,
[00:08:05] and that thus the election, the elections tonight, could be
[00:08:09] the beginning of the end for Fredrik
[00:08:12] and his time as
[00:08:13] chancellor.
[00:08:22] The British pop singer is now putting words
[00:08:24] to the criticism that has circulated about him. The criticism came after rapper
[00:08:28] Macklemore was removed as a warm-up act on Sheron's tour
[00:08:32] after expressing support for Palestine. According to Sharon,
[00:08:35] it was the organizer who chose to remove the rapper. Lukas Graham
[00:08:38] and all other warm-up bands subsequently withdrew from Sharon's
[00:08:42] tour, and yesterday Sharon went on stage alone without other
[00:08:46] artists.
[00:08:49] The Jehovah's Witnesses religious community has eased its rules for receiving blood
[00:08:52] donated by others. This means that individual members can now choose whether
[00:08:56] they want to receive that type of medical treatment. Specifically, this means
[00:09:00] that they can receive plasma, platelets, and
[00:09:03] red and white blood cells, but members are still not allowed to say yes
[00:09:06] to a full blood transfusion, according to the
[00:09:09] religious community.
[00:09:14] For the first time in four years, DR is back in Russia, where the election to
[00:09:18] parliament ends today. This is the first election
[00:09:21] since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, and not a free
[00:09:25] election. But beneath the surface, yes, the result
[00:09:28] can still show signs of how much support there is for
[00:09:31] the Putin regime.
[00:09:35] The inventiveness is great in Carline Issepsiks small
[00:09:38] setup. The kitchen sink is spinning, only to finally end up
[00:09:42] as a treat for the skin, but it's hard times for
[00:09:46] luxury products, such as body scrubs and
[00:09:48] creams.
[00:09:53] About 60% of Russians say they have experienced a decline in their living conditions and a
[00:09:56] general worsening of their economy. Several of those I have spoken to here
[00:10:00] while I have been here, have mentioned things like food prices,
[00:10:03] as something that is important, something they would like
[00:10:07] to talk about, and especially that some of the goods have become relatively
[00:10:10] expensive, and one of the places you can see that is in a place like here in a
[00:10:14] Russian supermarket, where uh, people simply change
[00:10:18] their behavior, they start buying things that are a little cheaper,
[00:10:21] discount products for example, rather than more like
[00:11:55] although the election result for the Duma seems to be a foregone conclusion, there is
[00:11:59] still something at stake for Putin, that's the assessment from Flemming
[00:12:02] Spidsbol, senior researcher at Dis. There
[00:12:06] is an opportunity for people to express their dissatisfaction in various ways, they can stay
[00:12:10] home, or they can show up here, as we heard in the segment, at specific times and
[00:12:13] perhaps be pressured and confirmed that there are others who think as they
[00:12:17] do, they can try to vote for some of the other parties than
[00:12:21] Putin's party, for example, so there are some small things they can do, so there is a lot at stake.
[00:12:28] Now we need to get moving. The World Road Cycling Championships have filled the
[00:12:32] streets of Copenhagen, because the capital is the World City this
[00:12:35] weekend. Today, yes, it was a Half Marathon, and a new Danish record was set
[00:12:38] here. Here he comes, Jacob Simonsen on his way to
[00:12:42] the finish line, and on his way to a Danish record, great,
[00:12:46] great style here, coming in there, Jacob Simonsen. Yes, it was indeed
[00:12:49] Jacob Simon who this morning broke his own Danish record in the
[00:12:53] Half Marathon. He crossed the finish line in a time of one hour and 46
[00:12:56] seconds, and has thus improved his own record by 25
[00:13:00] seconds, and that kind of thing can also give you a lump in
[00:13:03] your throat, what is going through you, it's
[00:13:07] like,
[00:13:08] my family is out there,
[00:13:11] and even if you
[00:13:14] think like that when you are a sportsman and it's just
[00:13:18] training and then fun with the family, there are many sacrifices and
[00:13:21] uh, it's a tough life on many fronts, you have to say no to a lot.
[00:13:25] Uh, so when it finally
[00:13:29] succeeds, it just goes up in a higher unity, it just means, it means
[00:13:32] a lot, it was the fastest Danish time, but not fast enough
[00:13:35] to be called world champion, that was Swedish Andreas Alngren here,
[00:13:39] who took that title, he ran over the finish line after 58
[00:13:43] minutes, and among the women, a new world record was also set
[00:13:47] by the Kenyan Agnes Nigitic,
[00:13:50] she is chasing here 1 05-16, the question
[00:13:53] is whether she will make it. It will be very, very
[00:13:56] close, 11, 12,
[00:13:59] 13, 14, 15, I think, I
[00:14:03] think she will break that world record, which applies to
[00:14:06] women's only race here by a single
[00:14:09] second, the fastest Danish woman in the half marathon, that was
[00:14:13] Caroline Millenar, who crossed the finish line after one hour and 13
[00:14:17] minutes and 47 seconds, and thus it is
[00:14:20] time for a look at the weather. Yes, there are
[00:14:23] showers around out there, some of them are also relatively
[00:14:26] heavy, it continues through the evening, and also partially through
[00:14:30] the night, but there will be longer and longer intervals between the showers, they will thin out more and more.
[00:14:34] On the other hand, the wind continues. There are already
[00:14:37] registered gusts of gale force in northwest Jutland, and it
[00:14:41] is also here that it will generally be most windy, but as you can sense, this
[00:14:45] strong wind field also moves on to
[00:14:49] Skagerrak, Kattegat, the Baltic Sea during the night. Then the
[00:14:52] wind slowly turns more northerly.
[00:14:55] This can help to push up the water level in, among other places, Roskilde and
[00:14:58] Odense Fjord, so be aware of that in those
[00:15:01] areas. The wind continues partially into the day
[00:15:04] tomorrow, it decreases slightly in strength Godsgøv, on the other hand, it will be a day with
[00:15:08] predominantly dry weather, a little more clouds towards the southwest, but
[00:15:12] otherwise good chances of sunshine for large parts of the country.
[00:15:15] Generally, there will be dry weather and sunshine on
[00:15:19] Monday and Tuesday until a new rain front arrives on
[00:15:22] Wednesday.
[00:15:29] Fear of artificial intelligence is spreading in the USA,
[00:15:32] both the right and left wings are demanding action, also when it comes to the
[00:15:36] gigantic data centers that are popping up like mushrooms all
[00:15:40] over the country, but President Trump, he only sees
[00:15:43] advantages, but will AI be a winner or a
[00:15:47] loser for the president, we investigate that in Trump's USA,
[00:15:51] which you can find right now on DRTV.
[00:15:54] Is President Putin deliberately lying about military advances that do not
[00:15:57] exist, or is he being misled by fearful
[00:16:00] generals? Putin talks about the capture of
[00:16:04] Ukrainian cities, but shortly after a Ukrainian general releases
[00:16:08] a video where he walks freely in one of the cities. What does that mean for
[00:16:11] the war in Ukraine if Putin really doesn't hear the truth about
[00:16:15] Russian losses and defeats? This is the war's
[00:16:18] day right now on DRTV.
[00:16:22] This content about fitness and training and diet, it fills an extreme
[00:16:25] amount on social media. The body ideal that I want to
[00:16:29] have comes from social media. You want to
[00:16:32] be like them, and fit into what you are constantly exposed to. One
[00:16:36] is encouraged to think that if I eat in the same way, I will
[00:16:39] look that way, the turning point
[00:16:42] was being about to die,
[00:16:46] a lot of the content is presented as health
[00:16:49] or self-care, and what it really is, is the exact
[00:16:52] opposite, the lie in your feed, it's a completely skewed plan, you
[00:16:56] get sick from eating like this, now on
[00:16:58] DRTV, oh how crazy
[00:17:02] it is, well it's incomprehensible,
[00:17:04] completely, we have traveled into the
[00:17:07] unfathomably large country, is it like here that you should
[00:17:11] be? yes, is it? not to explain all of China,
[00:17:14] but to get a little closer, so you feel
[00:17:17] left out if you're not on tiktok and streaming, yes
[00:17:20] okay, and perhaps to debunk a few
[00:17:24] prejudices, as Danes we can probably easily get lost in thinking our system is perfect and it
[00:17:28] will just work, it could never work in China, and we know too
[00:17:31] little and perhaps fear too much, Anne and Anders
[00:17:35] in China. on
[00:17:37] DRTV and tonight at 8 PM on DR1.
[00:17:51] We are live again with the latest news. The Danish
[00:17:55] Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, together with Greenland's
[00:17:58] Minister for Foreign Affairs and Greenland's head of government
[00:18:02] are now on their way to the USA, for Denmark, Greenland, USA in the
[00:18:05] coming week to sign an agreement regarding Greenland's
[00:18:08] future, we spoke briefly with the Prime Minister before she set course
[00:18:12] for New York. I understand that people
[00:18:16] are concerned about what this will specifically mean, and that applies
[00:18:19] of course especially in Greenland,
[00:18:22] where they have been through a very, very difficult period. I
[00:18:26] would say generally, that I would not myself put my signature on an agreement, and
[00:18:30] I know that Jens Frederik Nielsen would not put his signature on an agreement if it were not
[00:18:34] good for Greenland and for the Kingdom. The content of the new
[00:18:37] agreement has not yet been released, but the parties
[00:18:40] have apparently agreed on, among other things, Greenland's right to

[00:18:47] presence in Greenland. The agreement is scheduled to be
[00:18:50] signed at a ceremony in connection with the UN General Assembly in New
[00:18:54] York next week. An agreement that is good for
[00:18:58] Greenland, for the Kingdom of Denmark, an agreement that is good for the USA,
[00:19:01] an agreement that is good for Europe, and when it is, when it is good for
[00:19:05] all of us who have been close allies for many years,
[00:19:09] it is also good for NATO and thus for our
[00:19:12] security as uh Europeans
[00:19:16] uh and of course especially in relation to the Arctic
[00:19:19] area um I understand that there is great
[00:19:23] curiosity about what is the content of the agreement
[00:19:26] of course this is something that concerns all of us and it is also something that has
[00:19:30] concerned all of us of course not least the Greenlandic population
[00:19:33] but uh in respect for the last
[00:19:37] few days. and everything must be in place as an agreement, so I will not be able to

[00:19:58] state, the Kingdom of Denmark, that the Greenlanders' right to
[00:20:01] self-determination must also be respected in the future,
[00:20:05] and what we call territorial integrity, and that
[00:20:09] is, that is all contained in this
[00:20:11] here. Greenland's Head of Government Jens Frederik
[00:20:15] Nielsen, who is currently on his way to New York, writes on
[00:20:18] Facebook: On my way across the Atlantic, I think of all

[00:20:29] the future would bring. I hope that we can now get more peace
[00:20:33] around our country, he writes. And before an

[00:21:30] Now we go to Germany, where two big state elections can be a
[00:21:34] barometer for both the country's and Chancellor Merkel's
[00:21:37] future. For voters seem to be fleeing from his party CDU,
[00:21:40] while the far-right party Alternative for Germany

[00:21:58] the entire economic situation in
[00:22:01] Germany has actually gone very downhill, and now something
[00:22:05] has to happen. Anya Hünemörder Pritzner has always
[00:22:08] voted for the conservative CDU, but now she will vote for the
[00:22:11] far-right party AFD's state election in Mecklenburg
[00:22:15] Vorpommern. I am disappointed with the
[00:22:18] Chancellor, because I actually had hope
[00:22:22] as the Lord of the Economy and actually thought much
[00:22:25] more that he would also really get into the economy.
[00:22:28] Two weeks ago, Alternative
[00:22:30] for Germany, AFD, became the largest party in
[00:22:34] Saxony-Anhalt. We
[00:22:36] made history, we are taking
[00:22:39] back our country, it
[00:22:42] starts here in Saxony Anhalt. The CDU
[00:22:46] was, conversely, halved. Chancellor Fredrik Smerz called the result.
[00:23:20] "We have to draw a line somewhere and make a cut, so that it
[00:23:23] goes back up,
[00:23:26] otherwise, it looks very sad.
[00:23:30] And let's go directly to Berlin, to Degsten
[00:23:33] Nørskov, as we hear in the segment, many Germans are deeply
[00:23:37] dissatisfied and therefore ready to give AfD a chance.
[00:23:41] How have the CDU and other parties tried to talk voters away
[00:23:45] from AFD in this election campaign?
[00:23:49] They have done so by saying that what AfD promises, they will never be able to
[00:23:52] fulfill, that the economic policy that AFD stands for is deeply
[00:23:56] irresponsible. It may well be that it is not going very well economically, the other
[00:24:00] parties that are in power admit that it is not, but they say it will be even worse if
[00:24:04] AFD comes to power. They have never tried to govern before, and their economic program will
[00:24:07] blow a huge hole in the state treasury. So
[00:24:11] that, and then the other parties warn against FD, because it
[00:24:14] is an extremist party. The other parties call it
[00:24:17] like the German intelligence services, an extreme party with
[00:24:21] contacts to violent and neo-Nazi groups, and
[00:24:24] therefore the other parties say: you must not vote for FD. There is no
[00:24:28] indication that very many people will do that. Very many people will do it
[00:24:32] anyway. Steen Martz is not on the ballot,
[00:24:35] but if the chancellor's party with Martz at the helm loses both
[00:24:39] state elections today, and even loses power in the capital
[00:24:42] Berlin, can Martz then remain as the party
[00:24:44] leader?
[00:24:47] That is a very good question, the German media ask
[00:24:51] themselves the same thing and have done so all week now,
[00:24:53] and there are many in his party who are very dissatisfied with him, it's not just the voters, it's also in his own party, there's
[00:24:57] only a third of the members of his
[00:25:01] party who think he is doing well, so the pressure on him is absolutely
[00:25:05] enormous, as we heard in the segment here, he lost, was humiliated
[00:25:08] two weeks ago in Saxony-Anhalt, now he faces two more election defeats
[00:25:12] and perhaps, as we heard in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, the party will be completely out of
[00:25:16] parliament, that would be a catastrophe. And then the
[00:25:20] pressure on him uh will become so severe that it is not
[00:25:23] certain that his party colleagues around him can
[00:25:27] continue to support him, and that thus the election, the elections
[00:25:31] tonight, could be the beginning of the
[00:25:34] end for Fredrik Mart and his time as
[00:25:36] chancellor.
[00:25:41] I am making mistakes and I'm so, so
[00:25:44] sorry. The British pop singer Ed Sheeran is now putting words
[00:25:48] to the criticism that has circulated about him. The criticism came after rapper
[00:25:51] Macklemore was removed as a warm-up act on Sheeran's tour after
[00:25:55] expressing support for Palestine. According to Sheeran, it was the
[00:25:59] organizer who chose to remove the rapper, Lukas Graham
[00:26:02] and other warm-up bands subsequently withdrew from Sheeran's
[00:26:05] tour, and yesterday Sheeran then so alone on stage without other
[00:26:09] artists.
[00:26:12] The religious community of Jehovah's Witnesses has relaxed its rules for receiving blood
[00:26:15] donated by others. This means that individual members can now choose for themselves whether
[00:26:19] they want to receive that type of medical treatment. Specifically, this means
[00:26:23] that they can receive plasma, platelets, and
[00:26:26] red and white blood cells, but members are still not allowed to say yes
[00:26:29] to a full blood transfusion, according to the religious
[00:26:32] community.
[00:26:37] For the first time in four years, DR is back in Russia, where
[00:26:41] the parliamentary election ends today. It is the first election
[00:26:44] since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, and not a free
[00:26:48] election. But beneath the surface, yes, the result can
[00:26:51] still show signs of how the support for
[00:26:55] the Putin regime is.
[00:26:59] The ingenuity is great in Garline Issepshik's small setup.
[00:27:03] The kitchen garden is thriving, only to eventually end up as a treat for
[00:27:06] the skin. But these are times of hardship for
[00:27:09] luxury products, such as body scrubs and
[00:27:12] creams.
[00:27:16] Around 60% of Russians say they have experienced a decline in their living conditions and a
[00:27:20] general deterioration of their economy. Several of those I have spoken to here,
[00:27:24] while I have been here, have mentioned things like food prices, as something that is
[00:27:26] important, something they want to
[00:27:30] talk about, and especially that some things have become relatively
[00:27:34] expensive, and one of the places you can see that is in a place like here in a
[00:27:38] Russian supermarket, where people simply
[00:27:41] change their behavior, they go to buy things that are a little
[00:27:44] cheaper, discount products for example, rather than more such
[00:27:48] large ones, and many know where the needle points
[00:27:51] to,
[00:27:57] yes, and meat, beef 900 rubles,
[00:28:00] 800, well, of course we are now from...
[00:28:11] Over the past few months, the war has increasingly had consequences for more
[00:28:15] than just finances for Russians. As recently as today, two people were killed here in
[00:28:18] Moscow when Ukraine sent 249 drones across
[00:28:21] the border, but despite sky-high inflation and the war constantly moving
[00:28:25] closer, there is no prospect of any significant change, election or
[00:28:29] not.
[00:28:32] The result
[00:29:03] for the Duma seems to
[00:29:20] be a given, but there is still something at stake for Putin,
[00:29:24] according to Flemming Spidsbol, senior researcher at
[00:29:28] Dis, there is a possibility for people to express their
[00:29:31] dissatisfaction in various ways. They can stay home, or they can show up here, as we heard in
[00:29:35] the segment at certain times and perhaps be reassured and confirmed
[00:29:39] that others think as they do. They can try to vote for some of the
[00:29:42] other parties than Putin's party, for example, so there are some
[00:29:46] small things they can do, so there is a lot at
[00:29:48] stake.
[00:29:52] Now we need to get moving. The World Championship road race has indeed filled the
[00:29:55] streets of Copenhagen, because the capital is the host city this
[00:29:58] weekend. Today, yes, it was the Half Marathon, and here a Danish
[00:30:02] record was set. He comes Jacob Simon on his way
[00:30:05] to the finish line, let's go, and on his way to a Danish record in fine, fine
[00:30:09] fine style here, Jacob Simonsen. Yes, it was indeed
[00:30:13] Jacob Simonsen who this morning broke his own Danish record in the half marathon.
[00:30:17] He crossed the finish line in a time of one hour and 46 seconds and has thus
[00:30:20] improved his own record by 25 seconds, and that
[00:30:24] kind of thing can also give you a lump in
[00:30:26] your throat. What is going through you?
[00:30:30] It's like?
[00:30:34] My family is out there and even though you
[00:30:37] think that when you are a sportsman and it's just
[00:30:41] training and then fun with the family, there are many sacrifices and
[00:30:44] it's a hard life on many fronts. You have to say no to
[00:30:47] a lot, so when it finally
[00:30:51] succeeds, it just goes up in a
[00:30:54] climax. It just means it means a lot. It was the
[00:30:57] fastest Danish time, but not fast enough to call himself world champion. That
[00:31:01] was indeed Swedish Andreas Alkren, who took that title, he ran across
[00:31:05] the finish line after.
