[00:00:00] different, there is at least some nice weather for Monday, before
[00:00:04] a front comes in during Tuesday, it will bring windy weather,
[00:00:07] which continues until Thursday, but it will also be a bit warmer.
[00:00:22] Good Sunday morning and welcome here to the news from tva
[00:00:25] live, new sensational statements from
[00:00:29] the US president. Now it sounds like it is Ukraine's
[00:00:32] President Zelensky who is standing in the way of the war between
[00:00:35] Ukraine and Russia being concluded. Therefore,
[00:00:39] Donald Trump believes that Ukraine should choose someone other than Zelensky to lead the country.
[00:00:53] The statement came after a rally in Tennessee ahead of the American
[00:00:56] midterm elections, and the day after Trump
[00:01:00] announced a deal directly with Russian President Putin
[00:01:04] for the purchase of Russian diesel. The
[00:01:07] Ukrainian president called it a weak decision from an
[00:01:10] otherwise strong ally, and now he seems to
[00:01:13] have lost Trump's support again. For
[00:01:17] whatever reason Zelinsky does not want to make
[00:01:19] a deal, and if you look at the odds, you're talking
[00:01:23] about millions more soldiers on one
[00:01:27] side than the other. I think it would have been, "if he
[00:01:30] would have made a deal two
[00:01:33] years ago, it would have been a lot, he would have been a lot better
[00:01:35] off, he could have made a much better deal two years
[00:01:39] ago. What did, what did President tell you on the phone
[00:01:42] call the other day? He'd like to see a settlement.
[00:01:45] President would like to see a settlement strongly,
[00:01:49] and look, he's he's freeing up a lot of oil for the world, okay? That's a
[00:01:53] good thing, by the way, a very low
[00:01:55] price." Trump is a president who acts very
[00:01:59] much according to "who he likes and who he gets along with,"
[00:02:03] so this is a big challenge for
[00:02:06] the Ukrainians. Uh, it's also the consequence
[00:02:09] of Donald Trump having clearly chosen that it was
[00:02:13] more important for him to accommodate domestic
[00:02:17] conditions in light of the fact that the diesel price might come down a
[00:02:20] little bit. That's important to him, and so he has chosen to say, "Well, I
[00:02:24] prioritize that higher than my relationship with Ukraine and
[00:02:27] Zelensky." And then you're with us. Victor Skrøder Fris
[00:02:31] from Ukraine, and Trump is again speaking with,
[00:02:34] what should we say, big words towards Ukraine and towards
[00:02:38] Zelensky. How does this
[00:02:41] new reluctance land in
[00:02:42] Ukraine?
[00:02:46] Well, I think it's an absurd message that many
[00:02:49] Ukrainians receive
[00:02:53] 100,000 passengers daily, and is from Donald Trump, and it shows that he has misunderstood the whole situation
[00:02:57] according to the Ukrainians I talk to. "It is
[00:03:00] of course Putin who stands in the way of peace and not Zelensky here,
[00:03:05] in Denmark this and if one were to have an election here in Ukraine, and the Ukrainians would
[00:03:08] of course like that in the long run, but then it must be after the war, if that is
[00:03:12] what, uh, what is it called, the latest opinion polls say. When it comes to Trump
[00:03:15] asking or
[00:03:19] saying that Zelensky should stop bombing
[00:03:22] oil refineries and fuel depots in
[00:03:25] Russia, Zelensky says he would like to, but it must come
[00:03:29] with the price that Russia must also stop bombing
[00:03:33] energy infrastructure here in Ukraine. In Kyiv, they have
[00:03:37] already been hit several times on the energy infrastructure, there are
[00:03:40] power outages in several places, and it happens daily
[00:03:44] in Ukraine, and Russia keeps bombing, so if
[00:03:48] it is Putin who wants peace, as Trump says, then
[00:03:52] he should perhaps stop bombing, that's the sound and message from
[00:03:55] Ukraine, and the Ukrainians are, after all, dependent on
[00:03:58] American intelligence. American weapons, so
[00:04:02] there is a fear now of what the consequences might be from the American
[00:04:05] side if Ukraine does not stop bombing Russian
[00:04:09] oil refineries, as Trump asks them
[00:04:10] to.
[00:04:13] There is of course a fear of what reprisals Trump intends
[00:04:16] to use if Ukraine continues
[00:04:20] to bomb these oil refineries and
[00:04:23] fuel depots in Russia, among other intelligence, as you say,
[00:04:26] according to anonymous sources to the American
[00:04:30] media, the Americans have already told the
[00:04:34] Ukrainian delegation that was in Miami the other
[00:04:37] day: that it may be a possibility that these
[00:04:41] American intelligence reports, which are
[00:04:44] important for the Ukrainians, especially when they are attacking inside Russia, but
[00:04:48] also when they are warning the population about when
[00:04:52] ballistic missiles are coming from Russia. In addition,
[00:04:55] there is also, one is also afraid, fears that
[00:04:59] Trump could stop the delivery of
[00:05:02] Patriot missiles, these important Patriot 3 missiles, used to
[00:05:05] shoot down ballistic missiles. It is true that
[00:05:09] Europe pays the bill.
[00:05:12] The EU, but it is the Americans who produce these
[00:05:16] Patriot missiles, so one is naturally nervous about
[00:05:20] what Trump might do if they continue to bomb inside
[00:05:24] Russia and bomb these
[00:05:25] oil refineries.
[00:05:31] Back home, where there has been a great debate, since a number of teachers
[00:05:34] from all over the country came forward and told about parents who bombard them
[00:05:38] with wishes for special treatment for their children in
[00:05:41] public school. But now more teachers are chiming in and
[00:05:44] showing us all the special agreements they deal with
[00:05:48] every day, and it can be an overwhelming amount of
[00:05:51] agreements to remember. It also requires something mentally all
[00:05:55] the time to be, what, what agreement do you have, and may
[00:05:59] you do that, and may you not, and what should I be careful about, should I be careful about asking
[00:06:02] you? Yes, Gitte Back here shows
[00:06:05] what a typical school schedule can look like with reminders of all the special agreements
[00:06:09] she has to remember during the day. It's almost
[00:06:12] every hour that she has to remember different agreements for
[00:06:15] the students, well, it can be agreements about
[00:06:19] uh, meeting at different times than others, leaving
[00:06:23] before others, uh, having some breaks during the
[00:06:26] lessons, that one has to be allowed to go to the toilet a bit
[00:06:29] more often than others, or that there are some things that need to be checked,
[00:06:33] it can be children with diabetes, for
[00:06:36] example, where there are some things you need to be aware
[00:06:39] of. On Islands Brygge, teacher
[00:06:43] Sine Kløvedal has had 38 special agreements during
[00:06:46] the past year. She has never experienced parents dictating
[00:06:50] a special agreement, it has always happened in collaboration with
[00:06:53] the school. Nevertheless, she experiences that it affects
[00:06:56] the teaching.
[00:06:59] So, if I have a class with many students who need
[00:07:02] special agreements, it's clear that I will spend a lot of my energy and my
[00:07:06] time on that, and that will naturally take away from the other
[00:07:09] students. How is that as a teacher? Uh, it's a challenge, it's a
[00:07:13] challenge, and it's also about feeling that you don't always fully reach
[00:07:16] the goal for the large group, because you spend so much energy
[00:07:20] on the individual ones. Now to Saudi Arabia, at least
[00:07:23] 12 people have been killed and 309 injured in an
[00:07:27] attack on the international King Khalid Airport in Saudi
[00:07:30] Arabia's capital, Riyadh. Several
[00:07:33] of the injured are in critical condition, and the airport is
[00:07:37] temporarily closed. The Saudi-led military coalition
[00:07:40] blames the Yemeni Houthi movement for the
[00:07:43] attack. The military alliance calls the attack
[00:07:46] a war crime and warns of
[00:07:49] retaliation. This week, the Houthi movement has taken
[00:07:53] responsibility for other attacks on the airport. The international
[00:07:56] airport in Riyadh has been attacked twice earlier this week, where four
[00:08:00] people have been killed, and the airport handles over
[00:08:05] thus an important regional and international hub in
[00:08:09] the Middle East. US Secretary of State
[00:08:12] Marco Rubio condemns the latest attacks and writes on social media
[00:08:16] X: "These reprehensible attacks demonstrate a clear lack
[00:08:19] of respect for the lives of innocent civilians. This must
[00:08:23] stop immediately. We stand with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
[00:08:27] and its people and send our deepest condolences to the victims
[00:08:30] and their
[00:08:31] families."
[00:08:34] With the new budget proposal, the government will drop
[00:08:38] climate-proofing of historical buildings and private
[00:08:41] properties. The agreement should otherwise have helped to secure
[00:08:45] threatened cultural heritage, and together, we have landed a good
[00:08:49] agreement beneficial to Denmark. Yes, that's what
[00:08:52] last year's budget said, where the SVM government then and
[00:08:56] the Conservatives agreed on a climate-proofing pool of
[00:08:59] 150 million kroner per year, where the money over
[00:09:03] a period of three years would be used to reduce climate-related
[00:09:06] damages and support more historically significant properties
[00:09:10] being protected against, among other things, cloudbursts. But
[00:09:13] the new government will now instead use the money for electrification at
[00:09:17] businesses. I think it is beyond all criticism, because
[00:09:20] climate change is here, and if the government wants to be a green government, then it must
[00:09:24] also care about climate-proofing Denmark, and especially the cultural heritage that
[00:09:28] helps shape society and its people. And instead,
[00:09:31] the existing pool, called the Coastal Pool, must now
[00:09:35] take greater account of cultural heritage. It is used daily,
[00:09:38] for example, to cover floods during storm surges, but
[00:09:42] according to an expert, there is great uncertainty as to whether the same
[00:09:46] pool can also cover high groundwater and
[00:09:49] cloudbursts. In fact, there is already
[00:09:53] an urgent and huge need also to protect
[00:09:56] cultural heritage, because the precipitation events that we are talking about
[00:10:00] here and groundwater, that is actually something that happens even more frequently right now
[00:10:04] than storm surges.
[00:10:07] Yes, then we have our climate analyst with us, Philip Knak Kirkegaard. How
[00:10:11] big a consequence can it have that these cultural buildings have now
[00:10:14] lost 450 million kroner for
[00:10:18] climate-proofing?
[00:10:21] Well, we are in a situation where the water, it
[00:10:25] threatens our buildings and homes, both from
[00:10:29] the coast, i.e., storm surges, but also from
[00:10:32] cloudbursts, also from below, when we get increased precipitation with
[00:10:36] near-surface groundwater rising up and threatening foundations and
[00:10:39] settlement damages and so on in houses, and the Conservatives, they had
[00:10:43] wanted a special focus on our cultural heritage. The problem
[00:10:47] is that it is very slow to climate-proof
[00:10:50] Denmark, and the rules that politicians have set up for it, and the
[00:10:54] support schemes they have set up for it, have been continuously adjusted, and they have also shown
[00:10:58] that they have not been very effective, at least in reaching
[00:11:02] all the areas that should be climate-proofed
[00:11:05] according to both experts, but also the experience with, that is, areas that have already
[00:11:09] experienced floods, and when
[00:11:12] this pool then disappears, there is then another pool,
[00:11:15] the storm surge pool, which
[00:11:19] politicians agreed should protect cultural heritage to a greater extent, but the Conservatives want
[00:11:22] an extra pool that should focus not only on cultural heritage, but also
[00:11:26] other private buildings in relation to cloudbursts and terrain groundwater, and
[00:11:30] Philip, and that naturally has the consequence that there is less money to cover
[00:11:34] everything, but why is climate-proofing so slow?
[00:11:37] Well, it's really
[00:11:40] complicated. Let's take storm surges, for example. Often
[00:11:44] , dikes need to be built, but these are quite large bills that
[00:11:47] await homeowners. We are talking about
[00:11:50] bills that can be up to, I have seen an example of 300,000
[00:11:54] kroner per home, and then when those
[00:11:58] homes in an area have to divide that bill, there are people who
[00:12:00] live further away from the coast, who might sometime in the future also benefit from a
[00:12:04] dike, but who have not yet experienced their homes being flooded, who start to complain
[00:12:07] , and then we start to get that uncertainty regarding the economics
[00:12:11] of the projects, and often we see that they fail,
[00:12:15] and the politicians, on their part, have said that they would like to, that is, the
[00:12:18] state would like to play a larger role. But that is something we are
[00:12:22] still waiting to see. For example, there were some experts who were supposed to look at
[00:12:25] this, how to distribute the bill, but these experts were supposed
[00:12:29] to have given an answer this year, but that has been postponed until next
[00:12:33] year. That is just one example of how everything just gets pushed and
[00:12:37] pushed, but these investments can actually pay off. According to researchers from
[00:12:40] DTU, for every krone you invest in climate-proofing,
[00:12:44] you actually save three to four kroner
[00:12:48] in terms of avoiding the damage it causes, so... from
[00:12:51] DTU, as we also just heard Kirsten Halsnest say earlier, they would like
[00:12:55] more to happen from the political side. Thank you,
[00:12:58] Philip, and Environment Minister Maria Røjmer Gjerding is not available for
[00:13:01] an interview. She writes to us that it is still important for the government that we
[00:13:05] protect our cultural heritage against climate change.
[00:13:09] Good morning, Nina, now we would like to hear about Sunday's
[00:13:13] weather. You shall have it, and it is a relatively cool
[00:13:16] morning, especially in the inner part of Jutland, where temperatures have dropped
[00:13:20] to around two to three degrees locally, and there is also
[00:13:24] some fog in some places, further east, it is around
[00:13:27] eight to ten degrees, so there is a big difference
[00:13:30] morning, but there is also rain, and that is the rain that
[00:13:34] or the low pressure that brought rain yesterday, it will also affect
[00:13:37] today, just further east and south, so it is particularly
[00:13:41] here in the east that you experience rain today, but
[00:13:44] otherwise there is room for some sun in between, perhaps not as much
[00:13:48] as you experienced yesterday, but in between the showers there
[00:13:52] can be room for sun and dry weather especially
[00:13:55] here in the west, and temperatures up around
[00:13:58] 11, 12, maybe 13 degrees it can be,
[00:14:01] a weak to moderate wind from different directions, maybe even a fresh wind
[00:14:05] in some places, and then during the afternoon, as I said, up around these 13
[00:14:09] degrees, but it probably won't be much more than that, and gradually the
[00:14:13] rain also moves further east.
[00:14:15] Putin has, by all accounts, ordered
[00:14:23] his generals to ignore the laws
[00:14:27] of war, and in a city surrounded by Russians, Ukrainian
[00:14:31] citizens are so desperate that they cycle several kilometers through
[00:14:34] war-torn terrain to get vital
[00:14:37] supplies. It's the war's day, right now on DR
[00:14:40] TV.
[00:14:42] With less than a month until the midterm elections
[00:14:45] in the USA, Trump has embarked on a huge campaign tour, and he
[00:14:48] seems confident of victory. In the meantime, we look into the crystal ball
[00:14:52] of Trump's USA. What are the possible outcomes around the states, and
[00:14:55] how does it look like the two chambers of Congress will turn
[00:14:59] out? You can find Trump's USA right now on DR
[00:15:03] TV. I'm
[00:17:06] Good Sunday morning. Welcome here to the news from TVA
[00:17:09] Live. New sensational statements from
[00:17:13] the US President. Now it sounds like it is Ukraine's President
[00:17:16] Volodymyr Zelensky who is standing in the way of the war between
[00:17:19] Ukraine and Russia being concluded. Therefore, Donald
[00:17:23] Trump believes that Ukraine should choose someone other than Zelensky to lead the country.
[00:17:37] Takes off. fell after an election meeting in Tennessee ahead of the American
[00:17:41] midterm elections, and the day after Trump announced
[00:17:44] a deal directly with Russian President Putin
[00:17:48] for the purchase of Russian diesel. The
[00:17:51] Ukrainian president called it a weak decision from an
[00:17:54] otherwise strong ally, and now he seems to
[00:17:57] have lost Trump's support
[00:17:59] again.
[00:18:03] does not want to make a deal, and if
[00:18:05] you look at the odds, you're talking
[00:18:08] about millions more soldiers on one side than the
[00:18:11] other. I think it would have been smart if he would have made
[00:18:15] a deal two years ago, it would have been a lot, he would have been a
[00:18:19] lot better off. He
[00:18:21] could have made a much better deal two years ago. What did
[00:18:24] President tell you on the phone call the other day? He'd like to
[00:18:28] see a settlement. President would like to see a
[00:18:31] settlement strongly. And look, he's he's freeing up a lot of
[00:18:35] oil for the world. Okay, that's a good thing.
[00:18:41] Trump is a president who acts very much according to who he
[00:18:45] likes and who he gets along with, so this is a
[00:18:48] big challenge for the Ukrainians. Uh, it's also
[00:18:52] the consequence of Donald Trump having
[00:18:55] clearly chosen that it was more important for him to
[00:18:59] prioritize domestic conditions in light of the fact
[00:19:03] that the diesel price might come down a little bit. That's important to him, and
[00:19:06] so he has chosen to say, "Well, I prioritize that higher than my relationship
[00:19:10] with Ukraine and Zelensky." And then
[00:19:13] you're with us, Viktor Skrøder Fris from Ukraine, and
[00:19:16] Trump, he is again speaking with, what should we say, big words
[00:19:20] towards Ukraine and towards Zelensky. How
[00:19:24] does this new reluctance land in
[00:19:26] Ukraine?
[00:19:29] Well, I think it's an absurd message that many
[00:19:33] Ukrainians receive from Donald Trump, and it shows that he
[00:19:37] has, uh, misunderstood the entire
[00:19:40] situation according to the Ukrainians I speak with, it is
[00:19:44] of course, uh, Putin who stands in the way of peace and not Zelensky here,
[00:19:48] and if there were to be an election here in Ukraine, and the Ukrainians would
[00:19:52] of course like that in the long run, but then it must be after the war, if that is
[00:19:55] what, uh, what is it called, the latest opinion polls say. When it comes to Trump
[00:19:59] asking or saying that Zelensky should stop
[00:20:03] bombing oil refineries
[00:20:06] and fuel depots in

[00:20:36] he should perhaps stop bombing, uh, that's the sound and message from
[00:20:39] Ukraine, and the Ukrainians are, after all, dependent on
[00:20:42] American intelligence of American weapons, so
[00:20:46] there is a fear now of what the consequences might be from the American side
[00:20:50] if Ukraine does not stop bombing Russian oil refineries, as
[00:20:54] Trump asks them to?
[00:20:57] There is of course a fear of what reprisals Trump intends
[00:21:00] to use if Ukraine continues
[00:21:04] to bomb these oil refineries and
[00:21:07] fuel depots in Russia, among other intelligence, as you say, it
[00:21:11] is according to anonymous sources to the American
[00:21:14] media, the Americans have already told
[00:21:17] the Ukrainian delegation that was in
[00:21:20] Miami the other day, that, uh, it may be
[00:21:23] possible to, so to speak, withdraw these American
[00:21:27] intelligence reports, which are important for the Ukrainians, especially when they are
[00:21:31] attacking inside Russia, but also when they are, uh, warning
[00:21:34] the population about when ballistic missiles are coming from
[00:21:37] Russia. In addition, there is also, uh, one is also
[00:21:41] afraid, fears that Trump could
[00:21:44] stop the delivery of Patriot missiles, these important Patriot
[00:21:48] 3 missiles, used to shoot down ballistic

[00:22:02] one is naturally nervous about what Trump might do if
[00:22:06] they continue to bomb inside Russia and bomb these
[00:22:09] oil refineries.
[00:22:15] Back home, where there has been a big debate since a number of teachers
[00:22:18] from all over the country came forward and told about parents who bombard them
[00:22:22] with wishes for special treatment for their children in
[00:22:25] public school, but now more teachers are joining in, and
[00:22:28] showing us all the special agreements they deal with
[00:22:32] every day, and it can be a completely overwhelming amount of
[00:22:35] agreements that need to be remembered. It also requires something mentally all
[00:22:39] the time to be, what, what agreement do you have, and may you
[00:22:43] do that, and may you not, and what should I be careful about, should I be careful about asking
[00:22:46] you? Yes, Gitte Back here shows
[00:22:50] what a typical school schedule can look like with reminders of all the special agreements she
[00:22:53] has to remember during the day. It's almost every hour that she has to
[00:22:57] remember different agreements for the students.
[00:23:01] Well, it can be agreements about, uh, meeting at different
[00:23:05] times than others, leaving before others, having some
[00:23:08] breaks during the lesson, that one
[00:23:12] has to be allowed to go to the toilet a bit more often than others, or
[00:23:15] that there are some things that need to be checked, it can be children
[00:23:18] with. diabetes, for example, where there are some things you
[00:23:22] need to be aware of.
[00:23:25] On Islands Brygge, teacher Sine Kløvedal has had
[00:23:28] 38 special agreements during the past year. She has never
[00:23:32] experienced parents dictating a special agreement. It has always happened
[00:23:36] in collaboration with the school. Nevertheless, she
[00:23:39] experiences that it affects the teaching.
[00:23:43] So, if I have a class with many students who need
[00:23:46] special agreements, it's clear that I will spend a lot of my energy and
[00:23:50] time on that, and that will naturally take away from the other
[00:23:53] students. How is that as a teacher? Uh, it's a challenge, it's a
[00:23:57] challenge, and it's also about feeling that you don't always fully reach
[00:24:00] the goal for the large group, because you spend so much energy
[00:24:04] on the individual ones. Now to Saudi Arabia, at least
[00:24:08] 12 people have been killed and 309 injured in an attack
[00:24:11] on the international King Khalid Airport in Saudi Arabia's capital,
[00:24:15] Riyadh. Several of the injured are in critical
[00:24:19] condition, and the airport is temporarily closed. The
[00:24:22] Saudi-led military coalition blames the Yemeni
[00:24:26] Houthi movement for the attack.
[00:24:28] The military alliance calls the attack a war crime and
[00:24:32] warns of retaliation.
[00:24:35] This week, the Houthi movement has taken responsibility for other attacks on
[00:24:38] the airport. The international airport in Riyadh has been attacked
[00:24:42] twice earlier in the week, where four people have been killed, and
[00:24:46] the airport, it handles over 100,000 passengers daily and is.
[00:24:50] thus an important regional and international hub in the
[00:24:53] Middle East. US Secretary of State Marco
[00:24:56] Rubio condemns the latest attacks and writes on the Social
[00:25:00] Media X. These reprehensible attacks demonstrate a blatant disregard
[00:25:03] for the lives of innocent civilians. It must
[00:25:07] be stopped immediately. We stand with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
[00:25:11] and its people and send our deepest condolences to the victims
[00:25:14] and their
[00:25:15] families.
[00:25:18] The government will, with the new budget proposal, drop
[00:25:22] climate-proofing of historical buildings and
[00:25:24] private properties. The agreement was otherwise supposed to help
[00:25:28] secure threatened cultural heritage. And together, we
[00:25:31] landed a good agreement for the benefit of
[00:25:34] Denmark. That's what was said in last year's budget, where
[00:25:38] the SVM government and conservatives at the time agreed on a
[00:25:41] climate-proofing fund of 150 million Danish kroner per
[00:25:45] year, where the money was to be used over a period of three years to
[00:25:48] reduce climate-related damage and support
[00:25:52] more valuable properties to be protected against, among other things,
[00:25:56] cloudbursts. But the new government will now instead use the money
[00:26:00] for electrification in companies. I think
[00:26:03] it's completely unacceptable, because climate change is here, and
[00:26:06] if the government wants to be a green government, then it also needs to focus on climate-proofing
[00:26:10] Denmark, and especially the cultural heritage that helps shape us as a society and has
[00:26:13] people. And instead, the existing fund, called
[00:26:17] the coastal fund, will now take greater account of
[00:26:20] cultural heritage. It is used, for example, to cover floods during
[00:26:24] storm surge events, but according to an expert,
[00:26:28] there is great uncertainty about whether the same fund can also extend to
[00:26:31] cover high groundwater and cloudbursts,
[00:26:35] in fact, there is already an acute huge need
[00:26:38] to protect cultural heritage,
[00:26:42] because the precipitation events that we are talking about here and groundwater, that
[00:26:45] is actually something that happens even more frequently right now than
[00:26:48] storm surge events,
[00:26:51] yes, so we have our climate analyst with us, Philip Knak Kirkegaard, how
[00:26:55] big a consequence can it have that these cultural buildings have now
[00:26:58] lost 450 million Danish kroner for...
[00:27:02] Climate-proofing,
[00:27:05] well, we are in a situation where water threatens
[00:27:09] our buildings and homes, both from
[00:27:12] the coast, i.e. storm surges, but also from above,
[00:27:16] cloudbursts, also from below, when we get increased precipitation with
[00:27:20] near-surface groundwater rising up and threatening foundations and
[00:27:23] settlement damage and so on in houses, and the conservatives, they had
[00:27:27] wished for a special focus on our cultural heritage, the problem
[00:27:31] is that... "it's going very slowly with climate-proofing
[00:27:34] Denmark, and the rules that politicians have set up for it, and the
[00:27:38] support schemes they have set up for it, have continuously been adjusted, and they have also proven
[00:27:42] not to have been very effective, at least in reaching
[00:27:46] all the areas that should be climate-proofed
[00:27:49] according to both experts, but also the experience with areas that
[00:27:53] have already experienced floods, and when
[00:27:56] this fund then disappears, there is another fund,
[00:27:59] the storm surge fund, which, the politicians agreed
[00:28:03] should ensure cultural heritage to a greater extent, but the conservatives want
[00:28:06] an extra fund that should focus not only on cultural heritage, but also
[00:28:10] other private buildings in relation to cloudbursts and rising groundwater,
[00:28:13] and Philip, and that, of course, has the consequence that there is
[00:28:17] less money to cover everything, but why is climate-proofing
[00:28:20] so
[00:28:21] slow,
[00:28:24] well it's really complicated, let's take
[00:28:27] storm surges for example, often dikes need to be built, but
[00:28:31] there are quite large bills waiting
[00:28:34] for homeowners, we are talking about bills that can be up to, I have
[00:28:38] seen examples of 300,000 Danish kroner per home, and then
[00:28:42] when those homeowners in an area have to distribute
[00:28:44] that bill, there are people who
[00:28:48] live further away from the coast, who might someday in the future also benefit from
[00:28:51] the dike, but who have not yet experienced their home being flooded, who start
[00:28:55] complaining, so we start to get that uncertainty regarding the economics
[00:28:59] of the projects, and often we see them fall.
[00:29:02] And the politicians, on their part, have said that they would like, that is, the state
[00:29:06] would like to play a larger role, but that is something that we
[00:29:09] are still waiting to see, for example, there were some experts who were supposed to look at
[00:29:13] this, how to distribute the bill, but those experts were
[00:29:17] supposed to have come up with an answer this year, but that has been postponed until next
[00:29:20] year, that is just one example of how everything just gets pushed and
[00:29:24] pushed, but these investments can pay off, according to researchers from
[00:29:28] DTU, for every time you invest one krone in climate-proofing,
[00:29:32] then... you actually save three to four kroner in
[00:29:35] relation to avoiding the damage it causes, so the researchers from
[00:29:39] DTU, as we also just heard Kirsten Halsnes say earlier, they would like more to happen
[00:29:43] from a political side. Thank you, Filip, and Minister for the Environment
[00:29:47] Maria Røjmort Gjerding is not available for an interview, she writes to
[00:29:50] us that it is still important for the government that we protect our
[00:29:54] cultural heritage against climate change.
[00:29:57] Good morning Nina, now we would like to hear about Sunday's
[00:30:00] weather, you will get it. and it's a relatively cool
[00:30:04] morning, especially in the inner part of Jutland, where it can get down and has been
[00:30:08] down to around two to three degrees locally, and then there is also
[00:30:11] some fog in some places, further to the east, then it's completely around eight to ten
[00:30:15] degrees, so there's a big difference in Denmark this morning, but there's
[00:30:19] also rain, and that's the rain that, or the low pressure that brought rain yesterday, it
[00:30:23] will also be present today, just further east and
[00:30:27] south, so it's particularly here in the east that you experience
[00:30:30] rain today, but otherwise there's room for a little
[00:30:34] sun in between, maybe not as much as you experienced yesterday, but in between
[00:30:38] the showers, there can definitely be room for sun and dry weather,
[00:30:41] especially here in the west, and temperatures up around 11,
[00:30:45] 12, maybe 13 degrees it can be, a light to
[00:30:48] moderate wind from different directions, maybe even a fresh wind in some
[00:30:51] places, and then during the afternoon, as I said, up around these 13
[00:30:55] degrees, but it probably won't get much more than that, and gradually the rain
[00:30:59] will also move further east.
