The city council in Haiden has [00:00:10] forbidden the laying of new so-called stumbling blocks [00:00:13] after a proposal from the right-wing party AFD, a decision that has caused [00:00:17] strong reactions throughout Germany. Stumbling blocks [00:00:27] are small brass memorials on cobblestones that are laid [00:00:31] in the sidewalk in front of houses where Jews lived during World [00:00:34] War II, and they are there to commemorate the people who were murdered or [00:00:38] driven to flee by the Nazis, and according to the Jewish community, the [00:00:42] stones have an important [00:00:43] meaning. [00:00:46] that all of that is in dirt, water, [00:00:48] uh, it rains, uh, people [00:00:52] hit it with their foot, [00:00:55] that was an idea, just that. [00:01:00] stumbling blocks, so that [00:01:03] people stumble and have some [00:01:07] thoughts. It is the right-wing party AFD's idea [00:01:11] that they should stop laying stumbling blocks, partly because of their [00:01:15] location. We have a supermarket over there, many [00:01:19] people walk along here and also the area [00:01:21] is paved and many dogs are walked and I don't need to explain [00:01:25] much what a dog does at the corners and where the dog's excretions then [00:01:29] lie. [00:01:31] And then I can say welcome to you, Stein Nørskaard, you are our Germany correspondent, [00:01:35] and the man would like to hear this, it is he who has gotten this ban through, they do not [00:01:39] want new stumbling blocks, but what do they [00:01:41] want then? [00:01:44] Yes, well, they assure that it is not because they do not want to commemorate the murdered [00:01:48] Jews and other opponents of the Nazis, but they want to do it in [00:01:52] a different way, because they think that the way it is done with stumbling blocks is [00:01:55] undignified for the victims, and therefore, that is at least what they say, [00:01:59] uh, and... they will therefore [00:02:02] in the future, victims should be commemorated by having their names [00:02:05] engraved on a large stone, a [00:02:09] memorial that already exists in the cemetery [00:02:13] in Heidenau, where I was with Daniel [00:02:16] Bartel, and where he showed me the monument, that is where they want the names [00:02:20] engraved, and not where the victims once [00:02:23] lived, as, for example, the Jewish community thinks it should [00:02:27] happen. But can one talk about stones, that this is a sign that the Germans' [00:02:31] relationship to the Nazi era and the Nazis' crimes is undergoing [00:02:34] change in [00:02:35] Germany. [00:02:38] Perhaps, at least there are critics, such as in [00:02:42] the Jewish community, who fear that this is what is happening, [00:02:45] AFD, the party on the far right, is pushing very hard [00:02:49] to get Germans, [00:02:51] to make sure that the Germans' legacy from the Nazi era takes up less space, for [00:02:56] almost all the nuances of the weather today, there are example in education in schools. AFD wants [00:02:59] what they call a more patriotic memory policy, that is [00:03:02] to say, where other parts of German politics, excuse me, history, will [00:03:06] take up more space, and the Nazi era and the Nazis' crimes will [00:03:10] take up less space. They are working [00:03:13] very hard on this, and last year in connection with the end, the 80th [00:03:17] anniversary of the end of World War II, there was [00:03:20] a survey conducted, which showed that over [00:03:22] tomorrow, where it is half of the Germans asked said that they actually believe that it is [00:03:25] time to draw a line under the Nazi era and the Nazis' [00:03:29] crimes. And not let it take up so much space anymore in [00:03:33] German identity, in German history, and in the public [00:03:37] debate. The air force's oldest [00:03:40] squadron celebrates its 100th anniversary today, and it is being celebrated with a low [00:03:44] flight over Denmark. It's not something [00:03:47] you see every day, so I thought there was something special about that flyover, [00:03:51] and that's why we stopped and took a look. It's a really nice way to mark it, [00:03:54] uh, I'd love to see more planes in the [00:03:58] air when they get as... old as the air force is, [00:04:02] yes, but there was excitement here at Kronborg Castle in Elsinore, when [00:04:05] the planes, which are a Hercules, and then the white [00:04:08] Challenger here flew past, they have also flown [00:04:11] over Amalienborg in Copenhagen, as we see here, and [00:04:15] the trip is a training flight that started this morning, it did from Aalborg Air Base, [00:04:19] and then it ended at Skalstrup Air Base [00:04:22] near Roskilde. [00:04:26] Yes, Simon Bricks, there was a beautiful blue sky there, can you dish out [00:04:30] more of it? I can try at least, but we can also conclude that with the [00:04:33] flight they have been on, they have experienced almost all the nuances of the weather today, there are [00:04:37] some clouds here and there, also in some places a very beautiful blue sky, [00:04:41] and that also applies to the afternoon hours, where the temperature is allowed to rise a little higher [00:04:45] still, we will probably top around 14-15 degrees when [00:04:49] it gets warmest in some places, but otherwise it will also be something reserved for [00:04:53] southern regions, it will be a little cooler this year, north, there are probably not many who will see more than [00:04:58] are handed in in a locker before the lesson starts, 10-11 degrees Celsius here this afternoon, so... wind from [00:05:00] changing directions, and then there will also be tomorrow, where it is most [00:05:04] overcast, there might be a little sun that just comes through early in the day here in the [00:05:08] eastern regions, but overall it is the rain that is gradually starting to move in with a [00:05:12] front. During the afternoon hours it will become more [00:05:14] overcast, and it will also turn into rain that really starts to gain [00:05:18] strength when we are in the last part of the day, so I have also brought a map that goes [00:05:22] into the evening and night hours here, you can see it has already taken hold in Jutland, but over [00:05:25] the evening and night hours it will spread to large parts of the country, and there can be a total of [00:05:29] around 20 mm of rain, on the other hand, there will be [00:05:33] a dry Wednesday and a dry [00:05:35] Thursday. [00:05:46] Good day and welcome, here is a news update on [00:05:49] DR. US President Donald Trump claims that a [00:05:52] ceasefire in the energy sector has been agreed upon between Russia and Ukraine. The [00:05:56] problem is that neither Ukraine nor Russia has confirmed that this is [00:06:00] the case, and meanwhile Russia's attacks in [00:06:03] Ukraine continue. [00:06:09] Here are pictures of a Russian attack last night again. A suburb of the city [00:06:13] of Kharkiv, where three adults and one child were killed, and [00:06:17] according to the city's mayor, at least 12 have lost their lives in Russian [00:06:20] attacks. The attacks come after Trump's message on Truth Social about this [00:06:24] alleged ceasefire, an agreement that Ukrainian President [00:06:28] Zelensky says today that he hears about it through the media, and [00:06:31] so far Russia is silent, but Ukraine is [00:06:34] ready if Russia is ready. Our [00:06:38] offer is honest and clear, we are ready to [00:06:42] respect. [00:06:55] via a video link this morning at a security conference in Poland, and at the same time [00:06:59] EU foreign ministers are meeting today in Luxembourg, and here in [00:07:02] Ukraine is precisely among the most important topics, and the EU [00:07:05] foreign policy chief welcomes the agreement on a ceasefire, if there [00:07:09] is an agreement. [00:07:12] "we welcome the energy ceasefire when it [00:07:16] holds, we haven't yet seen that [00:07:19] also Russia uh will uh stick to it, of [00:07:23] course personally, I would also welcome that the ceasefire would include [00:07:26] people not being killed, Ole [00:07:29] Ryborg, you're with us, how much does this [00:07:32] rekindled bad mood between Donald [00:07:35] Trump and Zelensky take up at today's [00:07:38] meeting? [00:07:41] Well, it certainly takes up a lot, because if you just look at [00:07:44] the financial support for Ukraine, then it is [00:07:47] already Europe that accounts for 95% of the financial [00:07:51] support for Ukrainians today, uh, if Donald Trump now, because [00:07:55] oil prices, diesel prices have risen, also threatens to [00:07:58] stop American military aid or American [00:08:01] intelligence aid, well, then that is of course something that weighs heavily, uh, EU [00:08:05] countries think it would be a super good idea with an [00:08:08] energy ceasefire, uh, because we see how the Russians... yes [00:08:12] systematically bomb energy infrastructure in [00:08:15] Ukraine, but if it is, as Kaja Kallas pointed out, that is, the EU's deputy chief [00:08:19] pointed out, if it is only about a ceasefire that applies to not bombing uh [00:08:23] oil refineries, then it is viewed in a completely different way in Europe, because [00:08:27] Russia has 15 refineries, Ukraine [00:08:30] has one, so if it is such a ceasefire, then it is not a ceasefire [00:08:33] that has support in Europe. No, and that's also what makes this whole [00:08:37] situation a bit difficult to grasp, is there anything [00:08:40] Europeans can do to get the relationship between these two presidents [00:08:44] back on the track that Europe wants it to be [00:08:47] on? [00:08:50] It doesn't seem like it, that is Donald Trump, the American president, he [00:08:54] runs his own race, and what we have seen to a greater and greater extent, they have [00:08:57] tried this thing of trying to be a mediator, that is, from [00:09:01] the European side, between Zelensky and Trump, uh, and [00:09:04] now we are in a situation where Europeans have realized that it is [00:09:08] Europe and Europe alone that must help Ukraine, there [00:09:11] isn't much help from the US, and the help that comes is [00:09:14] less and less day by day, so [00:09:17] there's not much one can do when Donald [00:09:20] Trump increasingly listens to President Putin in [00:09:24] Russia, uh, and ignores and, uh, the [00:09:28] Ukrainian President Zelensky. [00:09:31] And also on the home front, Donald Trump faces criticism, he does from seven [00:09:34] American senators who believe that he should drop a new deal to get [00:09:38] Russian diesel, a deal that Trump announced on Friday. [00:09:42] And the seven senators are both Democrats and from [00:09:45] the Republicans, that is, Trump's own party, and in a statement, [00:09:49] it says, quote: The US should not give Putin [00:09:53] an economic lifeline while Russia continues to kill [00:09:56] Ukrainian civilians. The administration must immediately [00:09:59] change course. The senators believe that the deal violates an American [00:10:03] law that prohibits the import of Russian energy, so American money does not [00:10:07] finance Russia's war against Ukraine, and it is generally [00:10:11] difficult to see what Trump gets out of this deal, so says [00:10:14] Berlingske's international analyst. What [00:10:18] he has at least gotten out of this, is an eternal [00:10:22] discussion about why Trump always [00:10:26] falls into Putin's arms, what is it that makes Trump take Putin's [00:10:29] side time after time and praise him to [00:10:33] the skies and make all sorts of strange deals with him, with the [00:10:36] result that not only Americans are confused, [00:10:40] but also that the military alliance that exists between Europe and [00:10:44] the US, it becomes even more divided than [00:10:47] it already is. It is a mystery, many have many [00:10:50] theories about it, but no one really knows, other than that [00:10:54] Trump apparently swoons over [00:10:57] strong men, as is the case here around the world, [00:11:01] not only Putin, but also North Korea's strong leader and [00:11:04] China's strong [00:11:05] leader. [00:11:09] The government believes that mobile phones should be totally banned in schools, [00:11:13] after a recent PISA survey showed that students' academic performance is [00:11:16] declining, and even though it's good to get phones away, it's just not [00:11:20] enough, so say several school researchers. It's [00:11:24] answer to a much bigger problem, namely, [00:11:27] that most of the teaching in many classes in [00:11:31] upper secondary school happens behind a computer, and they have huge [00:11:34] costs, and that's where you need to intervene and use [00:11:37] the computer appropriately and as a variation, and not like for [00:11:41] some students, that they sit from morning to afternoon, as if they were working [00:11:44] in an office. In 9th A, at Korsvejen School in [00:11:47] Tornby, students' mobile phones are handed in to a locker before [00:11:51] lessons begin, so it is to a large extent computers that can challenge [00:11:55] students' [00:11:55] concentration. [00:11:59] We use it for everything, all tasks in every lesson it's open, you have to [00:12:02] do it now, you have to go into Google Classroom, so [00:12:06] everything happens on computers, also if it's just boring and [00:12:09] you don't feel like doing the work, then it's very easy to just do something else, you can be tempted [00:12:13] to game tabs, use the wrong [00:12:16] tools with chat GPT and such, there are a lot of [00:12:20] game tabs here, that's [00:12:22] not so good, because you often get caught up in the game, and then it's hard to get [00:12:26] back and focus on uh, what you know you're [00:12:30] supposed to do, there's also such a nice Spotify, [00:12:34] when I'm outing myself a bit right now, it's harder to concentrate [00:12:37] uhm when everything happens on the screen, because you [00:12:41] just constantly get light in your face, so six hours with a computer, I think [00:12:44] that can be too much, it's clearly a challenge that it's [00:12:48] tempting to have a tab open with a game or Snapchat [00:12:52] or whatever, right, and how do you feel about it as a [00:12:56] happens, I think it's really annoying, that the focus is not [00:13:00] in the right place, because it disturbs their teaching, their [00:13:03] learning, and also potentially their desk mates, [00:13:06] right, and those sitting behind, because it's hard not to be tempted to sit and stare at it instead, [00:13:10] so school researchers believe that politicians should [00:13:14] turn their attention to computers instead of only focusing on [00:13:17] mobile phones, an announcement that comes after they have spent many [00:13:20] hours observing what is going on in Danish [00:13:23] classrooms. "Things are happening that make you think, [00:13:27] how can this take place in a school, which should be a place for immersion and [00:13:30] community, when students are sitting and shopping and [00:13:34] streaming and playing, and then watching porn during lessons, and [00:13:38] tell me that when the teacher comes and asks if they need help, they say [00:13:41] no, because then they can quickly continue playing, and that is an [00:13:45] invisible disturbance, because they can always just swipe away, so it is [00:13:49] very, very difficult for the teacher to see it, uhm, and it is very, very difficult to get this [00:13:52] shared concentration in the room," which is needed. [00:13:55] for. [00:14:00] In Germany, World War II memorials have caused a great [00:14:03] debate. The city council in Haidenhav Ner Dresen has [00:14:06] forbidden the laying of new so-called stumbling blocks [00:14:09] after a proposal from the right-wing party AFD, a decision that has caused [00:14:13] strong reactions throughout [00:14:15] Germany. [00:14:18] Rosenberger, who lived in the house that was here in this [00:14:22] spot. Stumbling blocks are small brass [00:14:25] memorials on cobblestones that are laid in the sidewalk in front of houses [00:14:29] where Jews lived during World War II, and they are there to [00:14:32] commemorate the people who were murdered or driven to flee by the Nazis, and [00:14:36] according to the Jewish community, the stones have an important [00:14:39] meaning, how was that justified, that it's all [00:14:43] in dirt, water, uh, [00:14:47] it's raining, uh, people hit it with their [00:14:50] foot, that was an [00:14:53] idea, just that [00:14:56] stumbling block, so that [00:15:00] people stumble and [00:15:02] some [00:15:05] It is the right-wing party AFD's idea that they should stop laying [00:15:09] stumbling blocks, partly due to its placement. We [00:15:13] have a supermarket over there, many people walk along here and [00:15:17] also the area is paved and many [00:15:20] dogs are walked, and I don't need to explain much what a dog does at the corners [00:15:23] and where the... [00:15:27] And then I can say welcome to you, Stein Nørskaard, you are our Germany correspondent, [00:15:31] and the man would like to hear this, it is he who has gotten this ban through, they do not [00:15:35] want new stumbling blocks. But what do they [00:15:38] want then? [00:15:40] Yes, well, they assure that it is not because they do not want to commemorate the murdered [00:15:44] Jews and other opponents of the Nazis, but they want to do it in [00:15:48] a different way, because they think that the way it is done with stumbling blocks is [00:15:52] undignified for the victims, and therefore, that is at least what they say, [00:15:55] uh, and they will therefore uh have, in the future, victims [00:15:59] commemorated in such a way that their names are engraved [00:16:03] on a large stone, a memorial that [00:16:06] already exists in the cemetery [00:16:09] in Haidenau, where I was with Daniel [00:16:13] Bartel, and where he showed me the monument, that is where they want the names [00:16:16] engraved, and not where the victims once lived, [00:16:20] as, for example, the Jewish community thinks it [00:16:23] should happen. But can one talk about, Stener, this is a sign that the Germans' [00:16:27] relationship to the Nazi era and the Nazis' crimes is undergoing [00:16:30] change in [00:16:31] Germany. [00:16:35] Perhaps, at least there are critics, such as in [00:16:38] the Jewish community, who fear that this is what is happening. [00:16:41] Uh, AFD, the party on the far right, is pushing very hard [00:16:45] to get Germans, [00:16:48] to make sure that the Germans' legacy from the Nazi era takes up less space, for [00:16:52] example in education in schools. AFD wants what [00:16:55] they call a more patriotic memory policy, that [00:16:58] is to say, where other parts of German politics, excuse me, [00:17:02] history, will take up more space, and the Nazi era and [00:17:05] the Nazis' crimes will take up [00:17:07] less space. They are working very hard on this, and last [00:17:11] year in connection with the end, the 80th anniversary of the end of World [00:17:14] War II, there was a survey conducted, which showed that over [00:17:18] half of the Germans asked said that they actually believe that it is [00:17:22] time to draw a line under the Nazi era and the Nazis' [00:17:25] crimes, and not let it take up so much space anymore in [00:17:29] German identity, in German history, and in the public [00:17:33] debate. The air force's oldest [00:17:36] squadron celebrates its 100th anniversary today, and it is being celebrated [00:17:40] with a low flight over Denmark. It's not something [00:17:43] you see every day, so I thought there was something special about the [00:17:47] flyover, and that's why we stopped and took a look. It's a really nice way to [00:17:50] mark it, uh, I'd love [00:17:53] to see more planes in the air when they get as old as the [00:17:57] air force. Yes, but there was excitement here at [00:18:00] Kronborg Castle in Elsinore, when the planes, which are a [00:18:03] Hercules, and then the white Challenger here, flew past. They have [00:18:07] also flown over Amalienborg in Copenhagen, as we see here, [00:18:11] and the trip is a training flight that started this morning, it did from [00:18:14] Aalborg Air Base, and then it ended at Skalstrup [00:18:18] Air Base near [00:18:19] Roskilde. [00:18:22] Yes, Simon Brix, there was a beautiful blue sky there, can you dish out [00:18:26] more of it? I can try at least, but we can also conclude that with the [00:18:30] flight they have been on, they have experienced [00:18:34] some clouds here and there, also in some places a very beautiful [00:18:37] blue sky, and that also applies to the afternoon hours, where the temperature is allowed to rise a little higher [00:18:41] still, we will probably top around 14-15 degrees when [00:18:45] it gets warmest in some places, but otherwise it will also be something reserved for [00:18:49] the southern regions, it will be a little cooler this year, north, there are probably not many who will [00:18:52] see more than 10-11 degrees Celsius here this afternoon, still wind from [00:18:56] changing directions, and then there will also be [00:18:59] most overcast, there might be a little sun that just comes through early in the [00:19:03] day here in the eastern regions, but overall it is the rain that after [00:19:07] begins to move in with a front, so during the afternoon hours it will become more [00:19:11] overcast, and it will also turn into rain that really starts to gain [00:19:14] strength when we are in the last part of the day, so I have also brought a map that [00:19:18] goes into the evening and night hours here, you can see it has already taken hold in Jutland, but [00:19:22] over the evening and night hours it will spread to large parts of the country, and there can be a total of [00:19:26] around 20 mm of rain, on the other hand, there will be [00:19:29] a dry Wednesday and a dry [00:19:31] Thursday. [00:19:43] Good day and welcome, here is a news update on DR. [00:19:46] US President Donald Trump claims that a ceasefire in the energy sector [00:19:50] has been agreed upon between Russia and Ukraine. The problem is that [00:19:53] neither Ukraine nor Russia has confirmed that this is the case, and [00:19:57] meanwhile Russia's attacks in [00:20:00] Ukraine continue. [00:20:06] Here are pictures of a Russian attack last night in a suburb of the city [00:20:09] of Kharkiv. Here three adults and one child were killed, and [00:20:13] according to the city's mayor, at least 12 have lost their lives in Russian [00:20:17] attacks. The attacks come after Trump's message on Truth Social about this [00:20:20] alleged ceasefire, an agreement that Ukrainian President [00:20:24] Zelensky says today that he hears about it through the media. And [00:20:28] so far Russia is silent, but Ukraine is [00:20:31] ready if Russia is [00:20:32] ready. [00:20:38] ready to respect an energy fire if [00:20:40] Russia is ready to do the same, [00:20:44] we agree if they [00:20:47] agree. [00:20:49] So... we will via a video link here this morning at a [00:20:52] security conference in Poland, and at the same time [00:20:55] EU foreign ministers are gathered today in Luxembourg and here Ukraine [00:20:59] is precisely among the most important topics, and the EU foreign policy chief welcomes [00:21:03] the agreement on a ceasefire, if there is an agreement. [00:21:26] So you're with us, how much does this [00:21:29] rekindled bad mood between Donald Trump [00:21:32] and Zelensky take up at today's [00:21:34] meeting? [00:21:37] Well, it certainly takes up a lot, because if you just look at [00:21:41] the financial support for Ukraine, then it is [00:21:44] already Europe that accounts for 95% of the financial [00:21:47] support for Ukrainians today, if Donald Trump now, because [00:21:51] oil prices, diesel prices have risen, also threatens to [00:21:54] stop American military aid or American [00:21:58] intelligence aid, well, then that is of course something that weighs heavily, uh, EU [00:22:02] countries think it would be a super good idea with an [00:22:05] energy ceasefire, uh, because we see how the Russians are [00:22:09] systematically bombing energy infrastructure in [00:22:12] Ukraine, but if it is, as Kaja Kallas pointed out, that is, the EU's deputy chief [00:22:16] pointed out, if it is only about a ceasefire that applies to not bombing [00:22:19] uh. oil refineries, yes, then it is viewed in a completely different way in [00:22:23] Europe, because Russia has 15 refineries, Ukraine [00:22:26] has one, so if it is such a ceasefire, then it is not a [00:22:29] ceasefire that has support in Europe. No, and that's also what makes [00:22:33] this whole situation a bit difficult to grasp, is [00:22:36] there anything Europeans can do to get the relationship between these two presidents [00:22:40] back on the track that Europe wants it to be [00:22:43] on? [00:22:46] It doesn't seem like it, that is Donald Trump, the American president, he [00:22:50] runs his own race, and what we have seen to a greater and greater extent, they [00:22:53] have tried this thing of trying to be a mediator, that is, from [00:22:57] the European side, between Zelensky and Trump, uh, and [00:23:01] now we are in a situation where Europeans have realized that it is [00:23:04] Europe and Europe alone that must help Ukraine, there [00:23:08] isn't much help from the US, and the help that comes is [00:23:11] less and less day by day, so, uh, [00:23:14] so there's not much one can do when Donald Trump [00:23:17] increasingly listens to [00:23:20] President Putin in Russia and ignores [00:23:23] and, uh, the Ukrainian President [00:23:25] Zelensky. [00:23:27] And also on the home front, Donald Trump faces criticism, he does from seven [00:23:31] American senators who believe that he should drop a new deal to get [00:23:35] Russian diesel, a deal that Trump announced [00:23:38] Friday, and the seven senators are both Democrats and from [00:23:42] the Republicans, that is, Trump's own party, and in a statement, [00:23:45] it says, quote, the US should not give Putin [00:23:49] an economic lifeline while Russia continues to kill [00:23:52] Ukrainian civilians. The administration must immediately [00:23:56] change course. The senators believe that the agreement violates [00:23:59] an American law that prohibits the import of Russian energy, so that American [00:24:03] money does not finance Russia's war against Ukraine. And it is [00:24:07] generally difficult to see what Trump actually gets out of this deal. This [00:24:10] is according to Berlingske's international analyst. What [00:24:14] he has at least gotten out of this, is an eternal [00:24:18] discussion about why Trump constantly falls into the arms of [00:24:22] Putin? What is it that makes Trump, one gag after another, [00:24:26] take Putin's side and praise him to the [00:24:29] skies and make all sorts of strange deals with him, with [00:24:33] the result that not only Americans are confused, [00:24:36] but also that the military alliance that exists between Europe and [00:24:40] the USA, it becomes even more divided than [00:24:43] it already is. It is a puzzle, many people have many [00:24:46] theories about it, but there is no one who really knows. Apart from the fact that [00:24:50] Trump apparently falls for strong [00:24:54] men, as is the case here, around the world, not only [00:24:58] Putin, but also North Korea's strong leader and China's strong [00:25:02] leader. [00:25:06] The government believes that mobile phones should be totally banned in schools after [00:25:09] a recent pizza survey has shown that students' academic performance is [00:25:13] declining, and although it's good to get rid of phones, it's just not [00:25:16] enough, according to several school researchers. "It's [00:25:20] a very small answer to a much bigger problem, namely, [00:25:24] that most of the teaching in many classes in [00:25:27] the upper primary school, it happens behind a computer, and they have huge [00:25:30] costs, and that's where you need to intervene and use [00:25:34] the computer appropriately and as a variation, and not like for some [00:25:37] students, that they sit from morning to afternoon, as if they were working [00:25:40] in an office. In 9A at Korsvejens school in Tårnby [00:25:44] the students' mobile phones [00:25:48] so it is largely the computers that can challenge the students' [00:25:52] concentration, [00:25:55] we use it for everything, all tasks in every lesson are open, you have to [00:25:59] do this now, you have to go to google classroom, that is... [00:26:02] everything happens on computers, even if it's just boring and you don't [00:26:06] want to do the work, it's very easy to just do something else. you can be tempted [00:26:09] to play games, use the wrong [00:26:12] tools with chat gbt and things like that, there are a lot of [00:26:16] game tabs here? that's [00:26:19] not good, because you often get caught up in the game, and then it's hard to get [00:26:23] back and focus on what you know [00:26:26] you should, there's also such a nice spotify, [00:26:30] well I'm outing myself a bit now. be and concentrate [00:26:34] um when everything happens on the screen, because you always [00:26:38] get such a bright head, so six hours with a computer, I think it can be too much, [00:26:41] it's definitely a challenge that it [00:26:44] tempts, that you can have a tab open with a game or snapchat [00:26:48] or whatever, right? And how do you feel about it as a teacher, that it [00:26:52] happens? I think it's really annoying that the focus [00:26:56] is not in the right place, because it disturbs their teaching, their learning [00:26:59] and also potentially their [00:27:04] and those sitting behind, because it's hard not to be tempted to sit and stare at it instead, [00:27:06] right? So the school researchers believe that politicians should [00:27:10] focus on computers instead of only focusing on [00:27:13] mobile phones. An announcement that comes after they have spent a lot [00:27:16] of hours observing what is happening in Danish [00:27:19] classrooms? Things happen that make you think, [00:27:23] how can this happen in a school that should be a place for [00:27:26] immersion and community, when students sit and shop and [00:27:30] stream and play and so on. here on porn during lessons, and [00:27:34] tells me that when the teacher comes and asks if they need help, they say [00:27:38] no, because then they can quickly continue playing, and that is an [00:27:41] invisible disturbance, because they can always just swipe away, so it is [00:27:45] very, very difficult for the teacher to see it, um, and it is very, very difficult to get this [00:27:49] common concentration in the room, which is needed. [00:27:51] for. [00:27:56] In Germany, memorials from the Second World War have caused a great [00:27:59] debate. The city council in Haiiden. has [00:28:02] forbidden the laying of new so-called stumbling blocks [00:28:06] after a proposal from the right-wing party AFD, a decision that has caused [00:28:09] strong reactions throughout Germany. [00:28:13] These three stumbling blocks commemorate the Rosenberger family, who lived in the house [00:28:17] that stood here. [00:28:19] Stumbling blocks are small memorials in brass on cobblestones, which are laid [00:28:23] in the pavement in front of houses where Jews lived during the Second [00:28:27] World War, and they are there to commemorate the people who were murdered or [00:28:30] driven to flee by the Nazis. [00:28:41] Water, it rains, people [00:28:45] hit it with their foot, [00:28:48] that was an idea, that [00:28:52] is a stumbling block, [00:28:55] so that people stumble [00:28:58] and think about something, [00:29:00] today. idea [00:29:04] that we should stop laying stumbling blocks, partly because of their [00:29:07] placement. [00:29:10] Supermarket, many people walk here and besides, the [00:29:14] bottle is sealed and many dogs are walked here, and I don't have to [00:29:18] tell you what the dog does in the corners and where the dog's excretions [00:29:21] then run. And then I can [00:29:24] say welcome to you, Stein Nörskard, you are our Germany correspondent, and [00:29:28] the man wants to hear this, he is the one who got this ban through, they don't want [00:29:32] to have new stumbling blocks, but [00:29:34] what do they want [00:29:37] then? Yes, so they assure that it is not because they do not want to commemorate the murdered [00:29:41] Jews and other opponents of the Nazis, but they want to do it in [00:29:44] a different way, because they think that the way it is done with stumbling blocks is [00:29:48] undignified for the victims, and therefore, that's at least what they say, [00:29:52] uh, and they will therefore uh want, in the future, victims [00:29:55] to be commemorated in such a way that their names are engraved [00:29:59] on a large stone, a memorial. marker that [00:30:02] already exists in the cemetery [00:30:05] uh in Heidino, where I was with Daniel Bartel, and [00:30:09] where he showed me the monument, that's where they want the names [00:30:12] engraved, and not where the victims once [00:30:16] lived, such as the Jewish community believes it should [00:30:20] happen. But can one say, Stener, that this is a sign that the Germans' [00:30:23] relationship with the Nazi era and the Nazis' crimes is undergoing [00:30:27] change in [00:30:28] Germany? [00:30:31] Maybe. I mean, at least there are critics, such as [00:30:35] in the Jewish community, who fear that that's what's happening, the AFD, the party [00:30:38] furthest to the right, is pushing very hard [00:30:41] to make uh, for the Germans, for [00:30:45] the Germans' heritage from the Nazi era to be less prominent, for example in education [00:30:49] in schools, the AFD wants what they call a more patriotic [00:30:53] remembrance policy, that is to say, where other parts of German politics [00:30:57] come, excuse me, history, come to be more prominent, and [00:31:00] the Nazi era and the Nazis' crimes come to be less prominent, [00:31:04] uh, they are working on that.
