[00:00:22] Is President Putin deliberately lying about military progress that does
[00:00:25] not exist, or is he being misled by fearful
[00:00:28] generals?
[00:00:30] frameworks within Christiansborg to find Putin talks about Eurobringers of Ukrainian cities, but shortly after,
[00:00:34] a Ukrainian general releases a video where he walks freely in one of the
[00:00:37] cities. What does that mean for the war in Ukraine if Putin
[00:00:41] truly does not hear the truth about Russian losses and
[00:00:44] defeats? This is the war's day, right now on
[00:00:47] DRTV.
[00:00:49] The fear of artificial intelligence is spreading in the USA,
[00:00:53] both the right and left wings demand action, also when it comes to the
[00:00:56] gigantic data centers that are popping up like mushrooms
[00:01:00] across the country, but President Trump, he only sees
[00:01:04] advantages. But will AI be a winning or a
[00:01:07] losing topic for the president? We are investigating this in Trump's
[00:01:11] USA, which you can find right now on
[00:01:13] DRTV. P3 loves

[00:02:25] It was a happy and satisfied Danish Prime Minister who flew to the US today to sign
[00:02:29] the agreement on Greenland's future. The agreement
[00:02:32] is good for Greenland, the agreement is good for
[00:02:35] the Kingdom of Denmark, the agreement is also good for the USA, and it is good for our
[00:02:38] NATO alliance in an increasingly troubled
[00:02:40] world. Ukrainian drone attacks on
[00:02:44] Moscow, the same day as the Russian parliamentary election ends,
[00:02:48] and DR can now for the first time in four years,
[00:02:51] report from Russia. I am standing here at a polling station in central
[00:02:55] Moscow.
[00:03:12] Foreign Minister Lars Lykke Rasmussen and Greenland's
[00:03:14] head of government Jens Frederik Nielsen have already traveled to the USA
[00:03:18] today. Here, the security agreement on Greenland
[00:03:21] will be signed by the Danish Prime Minister, the Greenlandic
[00:03:24] head of government and US President Trump. This will happen
[00:03:27] at a ceremony in connection with the UN General Assembly in New York, and
[00:03:31] according to our information, the plan is for it to happen on
[00:03:34] Tuesday. We were there at noon at Kastrup Airport. Yes,
[00:03:38] after many
[00:03:41] months of work and after many months of
[00:03:44] negotiations, we are approaching a good
[00:03:48] agreement. For Mette Frederiksen, the most important thing is that
[00:03:52] the inviolable demands from Greenland and Denmark are included
[00:03:55] in the agreement. What we have called the red lines must be respected, i.e.,
[00:03:59] that we are a sovereign state, the Kingdom of Denmark, that
[00:04:02] the Greenlanders' right to self-determination must also be respected in the
[00:04:06] future, and what we call
[00:04:09] territorial integrity, uhm, and that is, that is all
[00:04:12] contained in this. Shall we just have the agreement first? The Foreign Minister
[00:04:16] takes the plane from Billund Airport. Well, the thing about
[00:04:19] agreements is that they are not there until they are there,
[00:04:22] momentum now, but that is and it still needs to be signed. Neither Mette Frederiksen nor
[00:04:25] Lars Løkke wants to say much about the real content of the agreement.
[00:04:29] for this agreement until it has been concluded,
[00:04:32] with respect for the last few days and
[00:04:36] everything must be in place as an agreement, so I will not be able to go into
[00:04:39] the concrete content. But
[00:04:43] the Americans, and especially Donald Trump, have given their interpretation
[00:04:46] of the Greenland agreement on social media. According to them, the
[00:04:50] USA gains control over security in Greenland, according to Trump,
[00:04:54] forever, and the Americans want to increase their military
[00:04:57] presence in Greenland immediately. The USA also
[00:05:00] claims that they will approve foreign investments in the future, and
[00:05:04] if other countries wish to establish bases, and this has caused
[00:05:08] unrest in Greenland. Don't you have a duty to go out and just give
[00:05:11] your. of this agreement? I understand
[00:05:14] well that people are concerned about what this will concretely
[00:05:18] mean, and that applies especially in Greenland,
[00:05:22] where one has gone through a very, very difficult period. I
[00:05:26] will say very generally that I would not put my signature on an agreement, and
[00:05:30] I know that Jens Frederik Nielsen would not put his signature on an agreement if it
[00:05:33] was not good for Greenland and for the Kingdom. The agreement will be the provisional
[00:05:37] conclusion of a long conflict between the USA and the Kingdom of
[00:05:40] Denmark. It began when Trump seven years ago
[00:05:44] demanded to get Greenland.
[00:05:48] And continued when Trump was
[00:05:49] re-elected.
[00:05:57] Fistbump and reconciliation. In January this year, a meeting
[00:06:00] with the American Vice President and Foreign Minister resulted in the
[00:06:04] establishment of a joint working group. Now there is an
[00:06:07] agreement that just needs a signature. We
[00:06:11] have an agreement that has been negotiated, and which
[00:06:14] we have parliamentary support for in Greenland and Denmark, and which the president
[00:06:18] in internal procedures in the USA, and then relates
[00:06:21] to. Mette Frederiksen looks forward to meeting Trump. Well, I have a, I
[00:06:25] have an excellent relationship with the American president, and
[00:06:29] in a troubled world, I believe this
[00:06:32] agreement is good for our
[00:06:34] security.
[00:06:38] The agreement is also the big topic of conversation among Greenlanders here in
[00:06:42] Denmark. In Aalborg, many gathered today for Greenland's church service and
[00:06:45] kaffemik.
[00:06:50] The church service, as we can hear here, was held in Greenlandic. Those
[00:06:53] present at today's service have long followed the debate about Greenland's future, and
[00:06:57] President Trump's statement about taking over Greenland. But even though
[00:07:01] an agreement has now been reached between the USA, Denmark and Greenland, several of the
[00:07:04] resident Greenlanders are skeptical. I am
[00:07:07] not very comfortable with it, I am very uneasy about it, also because we do not know
[00:07:11] what the agreement concretely contains, and what it means for
[00:07:15] Greenland, and what it means for Denmark? I have
[00:07:18] many anxious forebodings about this
[00:07:21] agreement, I must admit, and I
[00:07:25] do not study America, it just goes as it pleases
[00:07:27] them. Yes, many are guessing at the content here, Kim, but neither
[00:07:31] Mette Frederiksen nor Lars Løkke Rasmussen will say anything concrete about the content of
[00:07:35] the agreement. Can you enlighten us a little more about what it says while we
[00:07:39] wait?
[00:07:42] Yes, well, I haven't had the opportunity to read the agreement either, but I have
[00:07:46] spoken to quite a few sources who have been very closely involved
[00:07:50] in the negotiations and this
[00:07:53] process, and what one has been able to see, and perhaps is worth noting briefly,
[00:07:57] is some of what the Americans at least have emphasized greatly. We have talked
[00:08:01] a lot about what the Americans have gained from it, and they have emphasized
[00:08:05] that it will be easier for them to establish bases. Uh,
[00:08:08] it is such that there are actually two concrete new bases that will be
[00:08:12] established, that is part of the agreement, uhm, and
[00:08:15] overall, there will be a larger
[00:08:18] military, American military
[00:08:21] presence in Greenland. Then the
[00:08:24] Americans have also been very keen on this issue of
[00:08:28] timing, that is, in the early agreement from 1951, it states
[00:08:31] that it applies as long as NATO exists. Here, it
[00:08:35] states that it applies forever, and that has been important for
[00:08:38] the Americans, and it is also about something that
[00:08:42] Americans have actually been very concerned about, namely, what
[00:08:45] happens if Greenland should choose to
[00:08:49] become independent one day, and there are therefore some mechanisms in place
[00:08:53] that ensure that Greenland and this
[00:08:56] agreement still hold together, because that has
[00:08:59] been absolutely central for the Americans. And as
[00:09:03] you say, Kim, one of the reasons why this agreement is being made at all is precisely that the USA
[00:09:07] wants more military presence in Greenland. But do we know if
[00:09:10] the USA will also involve itself in other
[00:09:13] ways?
[00:09:16] Well, I clearly expect that some of this, which is not in the agreement,
[00:09:20] namely oil drilling
[00:09:22] uh and other things that Americans will be
[00:09:26] keen to start, everyone expects will now be
[00:09:29] increased. Americans themselves say that it will have a whole new
[00:09:34] not something that is in the agreement. That is something that one
[00:09:37] will have to negotiate in a perfectly normal way between
[00:09:40] Greenland, possibly Denmark,
[00:09:43] and then American companies and possibly the American state. That is not
[00:09:46] part of this
[00:09:47] agreement.
[00:09:52] For the first time in four years, DR is back in Russia, where the election
[00:09:56] for parliament ends today, an election that in many ways is very little
[00:09:59] democratic, in fact one of the least free elections in
[00:10:03] the world. For example, it is certain that Putin will win a
[00:10:07] crushing victory, but beneath the surface and the cosmetic
[00:10:11] election results, there is dissatisfaction with life under
[00:10:15] Putin's rule.
[00:10:18] The ingenuity is great in Garligne Izepsiks' small
[00:10:21] setup. The kitchen mixer is whirring away, only to finally
[00:10:25] end up as a treat for the skin,
[00:10:28] but these are tough times for luxury products, such as body scrubs and
[00:10:31] creams.
[00:10:36] Around 60% of Russians say they have experienced a decline in their living conditions and a
[00:10:39] general deterioration of their economy. Several of those I have spoken to here,
[00:10:43] while I have been here, have mentioned things like food
[00:10:46] prices as something that is important, something they like to
[00:10:50] talk about, and especially that some of the goods have become relatively
[00:10:53] expensive. Uh, where you can see that is in a place like here in
[00:10:57] a Russian supermarket, where uh, people simply change
[00:11:01] their behavior, they start buying things that are a little cheaper,
[00:11:04] discount products for example, rather than more big
[00:11:08] brand names, and many know where the needle points.
[00:11:11] цены, вот мясо, представите у меня 21.000
[00:11:15] пенсия, да, да, а мясо,
[00:11:18] говядина 900 руб 800, ну конечно, мы
[00:11:21] сейчас из-за войны, то что война вот идёт, конечно будет...
[00:11:58] In late summer, Yablogo was excluded from the election.
[00:12:20] Still mixing away in the small backroom in Siberia. They have trimmed
[00:12:23] the business, as they say. So they hope there will soon be a cure for the economy.
[00:12:39] from Moscow and therefore, for the first time in four years,
[00:12:42] our correspondent in Russia. What are the exact
[00:12:45] conditions you are working under? Can you, for example, talk freely about the Russians'
[00:12:49] attitude to the war on Putin, and you are talking to me
[00:12:52] now.
[00:12:56] I can indeed, and I have so far not experienced any
[00:13:00] restrictions as such. What I have been told is that if I am to travel outside
[00:13:03] Moscow to some of the border regions, then I need some special
[00:13:06] permits. But it must also be said that I have sat through some very
[00:13:10] long interviews, where I have had to explain in
[00:13:13] great detail what I have done previously, what I intend to do
[00:13:17] here, so it is a slightly different situation than when I was here last four and a half years
[00:13:20] ago, and the Russians are now, as we hear, in the middle of an election
[00:13:24] where everyone knows the result in advance. Putin will
[00:13:27] surely win, a choreographed play, if you will. What do
[00:13:31] Russians think about that, and do they dare to say it to a Western journalist like
[00:13:35] you?
[00:13:39] It varies a bit, I would say. Now I have been around several
[00:13:43] different polling stations today, and there are some who completely refuse to talk
[00:13:46] to me. There was a young man who said, I won't talk to you because you are a foreigner. Then
[00:13:50] there was a woman who very directly said, are you aware that this is
[00:13:54] not a free country? Uh, I'm
[00:13:58] actually afraid of what will happen to me if I talk to you, uh, and that
[00:14:01] is some of the reactions I have received many of. Then there are those who are willing to
[00:14:05] tell a little anyway, and what they say is what is
[00:14:09] important to them, it is the future. I spoke to a woman who had her 15-year-old daughter with her to
[00:14:13] vote, and she said, well, it's about my child's future, so I would like
[00:14:17] Russia to also have a better relationship with, among others, the rest of
[00:14:20] Europe, in the long term. So those are perhaps some slightly more general
[00:14:23] things that people are willing to say, those who
[00:14:26] The future of children and especially young men is also relevant when it comes to the war against
[00:14:29] Ukraine. What do Russians actually say when you talk to them about
[00:14:33] it?
[00:14:37] That's one of the difficult topics, I think, one can say, uh,
[00:14:41] not least, as I mentioned earlier, but those who
[00:14:44] are off-camera, because that's certainly not something I've been able to get anyone to say while recording,
[00:14:48] well, they want peace. The question is, how will that be? It doesn't
[00:14:51] look like anything will end soon, but
[00:14:55] those I've spoken to, well, they hope of course that the president in some way can
[00:14:58] be the man who can ensure that this war, which is now in its fifth year, soon comes
[00:15:02] to an end. And in the latest episode of the war's
[00:15:06] hour, you can see what consequences it has for the Russian army at the front,
[00:15:10] and misinformation spreads between the military and the political top, and
[00:15:14] that is an episode you can find on
[00:15:15] DR-TV.
[00:15:18] Also in Germany, votes are being cast today, and it is happening at the state elections in Berlin and
[00:15:21] Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, and even though the German Chancellor
[00:15:26] himself is not on the ballot, he is under massive
[00:15:29] pressure, as voters are fleeing his party CDU, and
[00:15:33] at the same time, the far-right party Alternative für Deutschland is
[00:15:37] strongly advancing. The question is now whether Chancellor Merkel can survive if
[00:15:41] it ends with yet another catastrophic election defeat
[00:15:43] today. For the baker here, the stage is set
[00:15:47] for political change. Die gesamte wirtschaftliche
[00:15:51] situation in Deutschland ja eigentlich sehr back up gegangen
[00:15:54] ist.
[00:15:57] Anja Hynemörder Pritzner has always voted for the conservative
[00:16:00] CDU, but now she will vote for the far-right party
[00:16:03] AFD in today's state election in Mecklenburg.
[00:16:38] CDU, on the other hand, was halved, Chancellor
[00:16:41] Friedrich Merz called the result the worst defeat for
[00:16:44] the party in decades. Wir sind alle zutiefst
[00:16:48] schockiert, wir haben es in
[00:16:51] dieser Form so nicht erwartet. Gestrigen
[00:16:55] Tag hat sich nicht nur in Sachsen-Anhalt etwas
[00:16:58] verändert, sondern in ganz Deutschland. Now the Chancellor
[00:17:02] and CDU are taking an exam again. In addition to Mecklenburg
[00:17:05] Forpommern, Germans are voting in Berlin.
[00:17:08] "I say it's going to be very close,
[00:17:11] I would be in favor of the AFD winning, because then they have to
[00:17:15] prove themselves." Several voters believe that time has run out for
[00:17:18] Chancellor Merz and the CDU. We must draw a line and make a cut now,
[00:17:22] so that it
[00:17:25] goes up again, otherwise I
[00:17:28] don't know, it looks pretty sad. If they vote for the AFD,
[00:17:32] yes, I mean, who says it will be better then, yes, I don't know that either,
[00:17:35] but it can't get any worse."
[00:17:39] and a short while ago the first exit polls came, and here,
[00:17:42] Merz's party, CDU is right on the edge of the
[00:17:46] 5% threshold in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
[00:17:50] The party is currently at 5.5% of the votes,
[00:17:53] while Alternative for Germany gets
[00:17:56] 37%. In Berlin, the CDU is facing a
[00:17:59] decline of 8 percentage points, while the AFD is advancing by
[00:18:03] almost 7 percentage points. And now I can say welcome to you, Steen. A short while
[00:18:07] ago, these figures came out, and it is very close for
[00:18:11] the CDU. Can Merz actually breathe a sigh of relief, or is this also a huge
[00:18:14] loss?
[00:18:17] He cannot breathe a sigh of relief in any way, he has just commented on this, commented on
[00:18:21] the results of the two elections as
[00:18:25] they are shaping up, and said that it looks catastrophic, he has called it a
[00:18:29] catastrophe, and his own party, as you said,
[00:18:32] is on the verge of falling out of parliament
[00:18:36] in excuse me, Mecklenburg
[00:18:39] Vorpommern. Here in Berlin, I was in
[00:18:42] the Chancellor's party CDU's group room when
[00:18:45] the figures came in and when it also became clear how much they had fallen back here in
[00:18:49] Berlin and that the party, Die Linke, on the
[00:18:53] far left, has become larger, has become the largest party here in
[00:18:56] Berlin, then you could hear a pin drop
[00:18:59] and there was a gasp through this
[00:19:03] group room with 200 conservatives. This
[00:19:06] is a... catastrophe, as he himself says, the Chancellor, and he will have it
[00:19:10] even harder than he already
[00:19:12] does.
[00:19:16] Now we go to Lolland municipality, which now wants to save on
[00:19:19] ferries to the municipality's three small islands. Today,
[00:19:22] Fajø and Askø have three ferries, but the plan is that they
[00:19:26] will be served by two in the future. On Femø and Askø,
[00:19:29] it means that seven daily departures will become four, and the residents of Femø
[00:19:33] fear that it will make it harder to make everyday life work.
[00:19:37] Now you can. a family with children, as the ferry has split between two
[00:19:39] homes, on Femø the pigs need to be fed, now they need
[00:19:43] grain. Here Louise, Mia and Paulsen have lived with her husband and their two children
[00:19:47] since the family moved from Copenhagen nine years ago. There is
[00:19:50] truly beautiful nature, and there is fantastic cohesion
[00:19:54] among the 100 people who live here.
[00:19:58] The children go to school and kindergarten in Lolland, and now the trip to
[00:20:01] the mainland will be even more difficult. The municipality's plan will cut
[00:20:04] the seven daily departures to four. Now there is a prospect. of the ferry
[00:20:07] first sailing at five, then we will be home at six in the
[00:20:10] evening, and we have to get up again next morning with a ferry at
[00:20:14] six, and that will be too, that will be too troublesome, and
[00:20:17] the concern is echoed by others who use the ferry. I think that's
[00:20:21] too bad, I mean, it's not acceptable. Now I live in
[00:20:25] Maribo, if you said, uh,
[00:20:28] four times a day, the barrier goes up, then you can drive into
[00:20:31] Maribo,
[00:20:34] what would the residents there say to that? It can make it
[00:20:38] harder to live on the islands if you worsen these
[00:20:40] everyday living conditions, that is, remove so many crossings, then
[00:20:44] there are even fewer people who can make it work uh to live on an
[00:20:47] island. But Lolland municipality has to
[00:20:51] save several hundred million kroner, and fewer ferries can
[00:20:54] save the municipality up to 10 million per year. It is necessary to
[00:20:58] adapt our capacities and our
[00:21:01] kapaciteter og vores
[00:21:03] the municipality, and that is primarily due to a
[00:21:07] lack of funds. At Christiansborg, rural district and
[00:21:10] island spokesperson Susi Jessen wants to investigate whether state money for
[00:21:13] the islands is being used as intended. And if it is not
[00:21:16] used, then we also need to set some
[00:21:20] out where the pooled funds we provide are directly intended for
[00:21:24] ferry operations. Back on Femø, Louise Mia Poulsen understands
[00:21:27] well that the municipality also needs to save on ferries. I can see it's a good,
[00:21:31] good place for them, they can save a lot of money there, but they will also
[00:21:35] save away some cultural heritage that cannot come back. And
[00:21:39] the family is already stressed under the current ferry operation.
[00:21:42] Departures have been so unstable that the children now live in the family's second home in
[00:21:46] Holeby on Lolland on weekdays, where the parents take turns
[00:21:50] with them. If the seven daily departures are cut down to four, Louise Mira
[00:21:54] Poulsen doubts how long the family can stay on Femø. I
[00:21:58] know for sure that we will fight to the last to stay on Femø. We are very happy
[00:22:02] to be here, but if this
[00:22:05] becomes four ferries, then I don't think it makes sense for us in
[00:22:08] the long run. And the plan has not yet been finally adopted. Lolland
[00:22:12] municipality will make a final decision on the new
[00:22:15] concluded, and that is in early October.
[00:29:55] the Half Marathon in
[00:30:32] Is President Putin deliberately lying about military progress that does
[00:30:36] not exist, or is he being misled by fearful
[00:30:39] generals? Putin talks about conquests of
[00:30:42] Ukrainian cities, but shortly after, a Ukrainian general releases a
[00:30:46] video where he walks freely in one of the cities. What does that mean for
[00:30:50] the war in Ukraine if Putin Russian?
