[00:00:00] President Donald Trump is going the become a pretty good rain shower over those hours at least in the evening opposite ski, but from then on
[00:00:02] way. so therefore Tuesday is with a gray Last Friday, he announced a
[00:00:06] diesel deal with
[00:00:07] Russia.
[00:00:14] This comes even though a majority in the American Congress recently
[00:00:17] adopted extensive sanctions against Russia.
[00:00:28] the area, which ultimately is
[00:00:35] Seven American senators, four of Trump's Republican
[00:00:39] party members and three Democrats criticize
[00:00:42] the diesel deal, as does Ukrainian President
[00:00:45] Zelensky, this is certainly not partner-like,
[00:00:48] and this, in my opinion, is a weak decision, unfortunately,
[00:00:52] unfortunately, a weak
[00:00:53] decision.
[00:01:00] The pressure on President
[00:01:01] Trump.
[00:01:08] Fuel prices are at record highs in the US.
[00:01:22] Donald Trump focuses on
[00:01:24] much worse comfort on the foreign energy. Yesterday, he claimed on Truth
[00:01:27] Social that Russia and Ukraine have entered into an arms agreement.
[00:02:00] announced by President Trump and
[00:02:03] all morning today more and more
[00:02:06] Russians have continued to enter
[00:02:10] our skies. The EU is trying to push Russia to
[00:02:13] the negotiating table. This is the single largest
[00:02:17] expansion of our sanctions list since Russia's war
[00:02:20] started. Europe has shown a united front
[00:02:24] today. Pressure on Moscow, not
[00:02:27] concessions is the fastest way.
[00:02:32] In the EU, Donald Trump has long been written off in
[00:02:35] relation to economic support for Ukraine, our
[00:02:39] EU correspondent reports. If you just look at the economy today,
[00:02:42] 95% of all
[00:02:45] economic aid to Ukraine comes from
[00:02:48] the EU. The economic purse has been
[00:02:51] slammed shut by the Americans. They don't give any weapons either. Europeans
[00:02:55] can buy weapons in the US, which Europeans can then donate to
[00:02:58] the Ukrainians afterwards. So, there is some help when it comes to
[00:03:02] intelligence and so on, but Europeans,
[00:03:05] EU countries above all, are determined that when
[00:03:09] Ukraine needs help, it is the Europeans who must provide it, you also get
[00:03:12] help from the UK and others, so, you don't
[00:03:16] have much faith that it makes sense to try to convert the American President
[00:03:20] Trump, and there has been a reaction from the White House, but
[00:03:24] at the same time, Trump's actions also cause surprise, says our USA
[00:03:27] correspondent Kim Bildsø. Yes,
[00:03:30] Donald Trump has written on True Social that he thinks it is the
[00:03:34] right decision, and he emphasizes that he is doing this
[00:03:37] for the US, America first, which is
[00:03:41] one of his slogans. But I also have to say, Ulla, that when I look
[00:03:45] around among American media, American
[00:03:48] commentators, there is not much understanding for what
[00:03:51] he has done, and what he is doing. Partly because
[00:03:55] it is a breach of some of what has been agreed about
[00:03:59] Russia. Partly that it will support Vladimir Putin in his
[00:04:02] war efforts, and finally the fact that it apparently
[00:04:06] will not have a very big effect
[00:04:10] on diesel prices in the US, if any at all.
[00:04:13] No, and speaking of that, Trump's oil deal with Russia has also
[00:04:17] caused criticism, also internally from the Republican
[00:04:20] side, and this comes now, when we are starting to approach
[00:04:23] the midterm elections. So, what can Trump gain from acting alone
[00:04:27] in this way?
[00:04:30] Well, he doesn't really gain anything from acting alone. I think he had hoped
[00:04:34] that there would be a great relief, that people would
[00:04:37] thank him for this agreement, because he is constantly
[00:04:40] bombarded with questions from his
[00:04:44] Republican colleagues, who are currently campaigning around the
[00:04:47] US before the midterm elections, who say, we can't discuss
[00:04:51] politics about anything, because people only want to talk about the
[00:04:54] unpopular war in Iran, and thus also about gasoline and
[00:04:58] diesel prices, and Trump has
[00:05:00] apparently hoped that this would somehow plug the hole
[00:05:04] for that discussion, because now the president shows that he at
[00:05:08] least does something, it doesn't seem to have succeeded right now, at least.
[00:05:11] We will return to Kim in a moment, because we also need to address another
[00:05:15] potentially big problem for Donald Trump. So it's
[00:05:29] past 9 PM, so here's a TV news direct
[00:05:33] from
[00:05:33] Dr.
[00:05:39] Even though Trump claims that there is an energy ceasefire
[00:05:42] between Russia and Ukraine, Russia has attacked and several
[00:05:46] Ukrainian energy facilities have been hit. At the same time,
[00:05:50] the EU is expanding sanctions against Russia. This is
[00:05:53] the single largest expansion of our sanctions
[00:05:57] list since Russia's war
[00:05:58] started.
[00:06:06] The EU is now expanding sanctions against Russia to
[00:06:09] hit the country's military industry.
[00:06:12] At the same time, new Russian attacks have been repelled in several Ukrainian
[00:06:16] cities, and six Ukrainian energy facilities have been
[00:06:19] hit, Ukrainian President Zelensky reports.
[00:06:22] According to regional authorities, 10 have been killed and 69 wounded
[00:06:26] across the country in the past 24 hours. This is the situation
[00:06:30] the day after US President Trump
[00:06:33] claimed that what he called an energy ceasefire
[00:06:36] had been agreed between Ukraine and
[00:06:39] Russia. And the doubt about whether there even
[00:06:42] is an agreement is growing, and so is the pressure on the American
[00:06:46] president.
[00:06:50] While Ukrainian rescuers are once again
[00:06:53] in action. After a Russian attack,
[00:06:56] the EU tightens the sanctions screw against
[00:06:59] Russia.
[00:07:01] There is a clear understanding that uh now is not
[00:07:05] the time ease pressure on Moscow, and that's why today
[00:07:09] ministers adopted nearly 1,000.
[00:07:20] Donald Trump is going the opposite way.
[00:07:23] Last Friday, he announced a diesel deal with
[00:07:26] Russia.
[00:07:33] This happens, even though a majority in the American Congress recently
[00:07:36] adopted extensive sanctions against
[00:07:39] Russia.
[00:07:54] Seven American senators, four of Trump's Republican
[00:07:58] party members and three Democrats criticize
[00:08:01] the diesel agreement, as does Ukrainian President
[00:08:04] Zelensky.
[00:08:16] With a midterm election in just three weeks, the pressure on President
[00:08:20] Trump is growing.
[00:08:27] Fuel prices are at record highs in the US.
[00:08:41] Donald Trump focuses on foreign energy. Yesterday,
[00:08:44] he claimed on Truth Social that Russia and Ukraine have
[00:08:48] entered into a ceasefire that applies to the two countries'
[00:08:50] energy supply, but the parties have not yet confirmed the ceasefire.
[00:09:04] Last night, this happened, the region, at least three were
[00:09:08] killed, according to President Zelensky, combined heat and power plants are also.
[00:09:51] In the EU, Donald Trump has long been written off in
[00:09:54] relation to economic support for Ukraine, our
[00:09:58] EU correspondent reports. If you just look at the economy today,
[00:10:01] 95% of all
[00:10:04] economic aid to Ukraine comes from
[00:10:07] the EU, the economic purse has been slammed shut by the Americans.
[00:10:11] They don't give any weapons either, Europeans can buy weapons in the US, which Europeans can
[00:10:15] then donate to the Ukrainians afterwards, uh, there is some
[00:10:18] help when it comes to intelligence and so on, but Europeans
[00:10:22] EU. countries above all, are determined that when
[00:10:26] Ukraine needs help, it is the Europeans who must provide it. You also
[00:10:30] get help from the UK and others, so, you don't
[00:10:33] have much faith that it makes sense to try to convert the American President
[00:10:37] Trump, and there has been a reaction from the White House, but
[00:10:41] at the same time, Trump's actions also cause surprise, says our USA
[00:10:45] correspondent Kim Bildsø. Yes,
[00:10:47] Donald Trump has written on True Social that he thinks it is the
[00:10:51] right decision, and he. emphasizes that he is doing this
[00:10:55] for the US, America first, which is
[00:10:58] one of his slogans, but he also has to say, Ulla, that when I
[00:11:02] look around among American media, American
[00:11:05] commentators, there is not much understanding for what
[00:11:09] he has done, and what he is doing, partly because
[00:11:13] it is a breach of some of what has been agreed
[00:11:16] about Russia, partly that it will support Vladimir Putin in his
[00:11:19] war efforts, and finally the fact that... It will
[00:11:23] apparently not have a very big effect
[00:11:27] on diesel prices in the US, if any at all.
[00:11:31] Yes, speaking of that, Trump's oil deal with Russia has also
[00:11:34] caused criticism, also internally from the Republican side, and this
[00:11:38] comes now, when we are starting to approach the midterm elections. So, what
[00:11:42] can Trump gain from acting alone in this
[00:11:46] way? Well,
[00:11:49] he doesn't really gain anything from acting alone. I think he had hoped
[00:11:53] that there would be a. great relief, that people would
[00:11:57] thank him for this agreement, because he is constantly
[00:12:00] bombarded with questions from his
[00:12:03] Republican colleagues, who are currently campaigning around the
[00:12:06] US before the midterm elections, who say, we can't discuss
[00:12:10] politics about anything, because people only want to talk about the
[00:12:13] unpopular war in Iran, and thus also about gasoline and
[00:12:17] diesel prices, and Trump has apparently hoped that
[00:12:21] this, this would somehow plug the hole for that
[00:12:24] discussion. Because now the president shows that he at least does
[00:12:27] something, it doesn't seem to have succeeded right now, at least.
[00:12:31] We will return to Kim in a moment, because we also
[00:12:34] need to address another potentially big problem for Donald
[00:12:38] Trump. The conflict between Saudi Arabia and the Iranian-
[00:12:41] backed Houthi movement continues, and last night,
[00:12:44] the Houthis attacked the largest airport in Saudi
[00:12:47] Arabia again, this time one was killed and 11
[00:12:50] wounded. At the same time, images have emerged of the deadly
[00:12:54] attack last weekend on the same airport, and these are quite
[00:12:58] violent images that are coming here.
[00:13:01] Surveillance cameras here show the moment when the missile attack suddenly
[00:13:05] hit King Khalid Airport's departure area on Saturday
[00:13:08] afternoon. At least 12 were killed and more than
[00:13:12] 300 wounded at the airport. The Houthi
[00:13:15] movement has now claimed responsibility for the attacks, and the Saudi
[00:13:18] Arabian government today promised retaliation for the now fourth
[00:13:22] attack in less than a week against the airport.
[00:13:39] And now we come to why the missile attacks in Saudi
[00:13:42] Arabia are potentially a problem for Trump. The dramatic
[00:13:46] escalation of the conflict with the Houthis has indeed triggered the war between
[00:13:49] Iran and the US. Iran
[00:13:52] has, as is well known, plugged the Strait of Hormuz. and has created a
[00:13:55] global oil crisis. Similarly, the Houthis'
[00:13:59] goal is to gain control of the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, which is
[00:14:02] the entrance to one of the world's most important shipping routes, namely
[00:14:06] through the Suez Canal, i.e. the one that connects the Red Sea and
[00:14:09] the Mediterranean. The Houthis have for weeks
[00:14:12] attacked here precisely to gain control of the coast leading to
[00:14:16] the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. Saudi Arabia is trying,
[00:14:20] together with Yemeni government forces, to push the Houthis
[00:14:23] away from the important coastal area, and the question
[00:14:27] is whether Trump and the US will intervene
[00:14:30] to secure
[00:14:31] shipping.
[00:14:35] Fighting and chaos in southern
[00:14:37] Yemen. People running for
[00:14:41] their lives.
[00:14:43] According to Houthi-controlled TV, which shared the images, it shows
[00:14:47] a segment of the weekend's fighting between the Houthi movement and forces from
[00:14:51] Yemen's government in the area towards the Almandap
[00:14:54] Strait. Right now we are told that the government, supported by
[00:14:58] the Saudis and the Americans, seems to have regained control
[00:15:02] of the strait leading to the Red Sea, but there are conflicting reports about it. And
[00:15:06] in Yemen, the violent clashes between the Shi'ite Muslim
[00:15:09] rebels and the pro-government
[00:15:11] forces continue.
[00:15:14] It has been over 10 years since an internal power struggle in Yemen led
[00:15:18] the Houthi movement to take the capital Sana'a and overthrow the sitting
[00:15:22] government.
[00:15:25] But the civil war has from the start been much more than an internal
[00:15:28] Yemeni conflict, so you have Saudi Arabia and
[00:15:32] the US on one side, supporting the government, and so do most of the
[00:15:35] international community, because they are a... nationally recognized government, and then there's this
[00:15:39] Houthi movement, which we've come to know because it has interfered
[00:15:43] in the war between Israel and Palestine, and has attacked
[00:15:45] shipping in the Red Sea, and furthermore, they are also
[00:15:49] allied with Iran.
[00:15:52] Since mid-September, fighting has intensified in the area
[00:15:56] around the Bab Elmandap Strait. With
[00:15:59] Iran's support in the form of weapons and money, the Houthi movement has managed to
[00:16:02] capture important parts of
[00:16:06] crucial for shipping traffic between Asia and Europe, but it is clear
[00:16:09] that this has some economic consequences, because if they can go out again and gain
[00:16:13] control of the seas up through the Red Sea and force
[00:16:17] shipping to sail south of Africa, then it will be more expensive and it will be
[00:16:20] slower to get goods from Asia, and we are not interested in that. In
[00:16:23] response, Yemeni government forces, supported by
[00:16:27] the Saudis, are trying to push the Houthis away from the important
[00:16:29] coastal area.
[00:16:32] A fight that previously took place together with the US.
[00:16:36] In the spring of '25, the president ordered 50 days of
[00:16:39] bombing against the Houthi movement in Yemen in the wake of threats
[00:16:43] and attacks on shipping in
[00:16:45] the strait.
[00:16:48] The US continues to support Saudi Arabia with weapons and
[00:16:50] intelligence, but has until now refused to deploy American
[00:16:54] bombers. Well, when the Americans have not directly engaged in the war, it is
[00:16:58] because there is no prospect of it being won, and the Americans are
[00:17:01] extremely pressured at the moment, because they cannot handle the war with
[00:17:05] Iran, and they are also running out of essential missiles, not least
[00:17:09] Patriot missiles, and therefore they have no more desire to get
[00:17:13] entangled in more wars, but
[00:17:15] the past few weeks' total of four bombing attacks against
[00:17:19] Saudi Arabia's international airport have increased the pressure on
[00:17:22] the president.
[00:17:28] The fact that they have now also started a strategic bombing offensive against Saudi Arabia
[00:17:32] puts much greater pressure on the Americans to engage, because it can
[00:17:35] precisely have these implications for. uh transportation prices and possibly
[00:17:39] energy prices, and that's the last thing Trump needs right
[00:17:41] now. According to Kim Bilsø, there is not
[00:17:45] much to suggest that Trump will get into the conflict in Yemen now and
[00:17:49] here. I think that a lot will be done
[00:17:52] to stay out of a real
[00:17:56] war. So, it is possible that the US will contribute even
[00:17:59] more intelligence
[00:18:02] to Saudi Arabia. It is also possible that
[00:18:05] one can assist in one way or another. way in terms of
[00:18:09] refueling fighter jets, perhaps even contribute to
[00:18:13] surveillance missions, but right now there is very
[00:18:17] little appetite for engaging in a
[00:18:20] new armed conflict, where the outcome here
[00:18:23] is also complicated, and where it's not just about going in and dropping some
[00:18:27] bombs and then it's over, so I think at least there will be many of
[00:18:31] Trump's advisors who will say, stay away from it, at
[00:18:35] least until after the third.
[00:18:38] when the midterm election has taken
[00:19:07] The leader of Venstre, Troels Lund Poulsen, has today convened the party's
[00:19:10] main board for an extraordinary meeting. On
[00:19:14] the agenda is one item: Venstre's current
[00:19:17] political situation. It is clear that as long as there is no
[00:19:21] calm about the line, we will not experience rising
[00:19:24] polls. That, that is simply the sad
[00:19:27] fact. That's what it sounded like on Tuesday at the opening of
[00:19:31] Parliament, and now the chairman is calling an extraordinary
[00:19:34] meeting of the main board on Sunday, October 25th. This
[00:19:38] comes after internal trouble and disagreement about the
[00:19:41] fertilization law that is intended to reduce nitrogen emissions from
[00:19:44] agriculture. Søren Gade and four other members of parliament from
[00:19:48] Venstre voted against the law and the party's line.
[00:19:52] Some of your party colleagues have said that it was disloyal behavior. What do you say to that
[00:19:56] criticism? That's on them, you'll have to talk to them about it. What Troels Lund
[00:19:59] votes for on Thursday, Troels Lund will know, so I ended up voting no to
[00:20:03] the law. Aren't you undermining your chairman with that? And then I have no more.
[00:20:09] After the commotion, support for Venstre has plummeted among
[00:20:12] voters. In the latest Epinion poll conducted for DR,
[00:20:16] Venstre was down to 5.8% of
[00:20:18] the votes. In comparison, Venstre received 10.1% in
[00:20:21] the general election in March. And according to
[00:20:24] our political analyst Jens Ringberg, Troelslund Povsen must also
[00:20:28] use the extraordinary main board meeting to secure
[00:20:31] support for his political course. Firstly, he must
[00:20:35] have clear support for the line he has set
[00:20:37] for Venstre, this green journey, where one certainly says agriculture is important, but where one
[00:20:41] also insists that increasing demands must be made on agriculture, that is one
[00:20:45] thing, the other thing is, and this is in continuation of the first, he must have
[00:20:48] support to... If there are again many, for example
[00:20:52] in the parliamentary group, who do not follow the party's line, then he has the authority to
[00:20:55] do something about them, to punish them in one way or another, both are
[00:20:59] important for him before his national meeting in November, but also before the political
[00:21:02] decisions that must be made during
[00:21:03] the autumn.
[00:21:08] The police in East Jutland have fined a number of parents because
[00:21:11] their minor children have ridden electric
[00:21:14] scooters. This is directly against the legislation, which does not
[00:21:18] allow the police to punish parents for their children's
[00:21:22] offenses if the children are under 15 years old. In
[00:21:25] a total of 19 cases, East Jutland police have charged
[00:21:28] parents and issued illegal fines, but now
[00:21:31] the police apologize and promise that all parents will have their
[00:21:58] I'm fine with them, my wife Lay thinks there are too many people getting
[00:22:02] into trouble with them, yes, they look good, and then they are increasingly
[00:22:06] in the police's spotlight, we have seized so many
[00:22:09] e-scooters that we have had to use alternative placement,
[00:22:13] but now the hunt for e-scooters has gone a bit
[00:22:16] too far, sounds quite unprofessional, East Jutland police. They have
[00:22:20] issued fines and charges to parents because their children were riding
[00:22:24] electric scooters illegally, but they are not allowed to do that at all, it surprises me
[00:22:28] how um, how it happened
[00:22:31] organizationally. It is illegal for children under 15 to ride
[00:22:34] electric scooters without an adult, but parents cannot
[00:22:37] be punished for their children's actions, there is no
[00:22:40] legal basis for that. If you punish someone where there is no legal basis for it, where there is no
[00:22:44] authorization, well, then
[00:22:47] it is fundamentally in conflict with.
[00:22:50] the test principle, um, and now this is not one of the big cases, and they have
[00:22:54] discovered it, and they apologize for it and retract it, but in principle,
[00:22:57] it doesn't look very good. It was East Jutland
[00:23:00] police themselves who pointed out the error, and they apologize in a
[00:23:04] press release. It is an error we are very tired
[00:23:08] of, because we should of course not issue fines without the right
[00:23:11] basis. We apologize to the citizens who have received
[00:23:14] the fines, and we have followed up internally by reviewing
[00:23:17] the procedures, so we ensure that we
[00:23:20] do not make the same mistake again, although the fines were out of
[00:23:23] line and have now been withdrawn, there are many on the street
[00:23:27] who believe that the intention hits the mark, no, I would also say that I think it is the
[00:23:31] parents' responsibility what their children do, but
[00:23:34] if anyone should know the rules, then it should probably
[00:23:37] still be the police, if you think about it twice, then
[00:23:41] it probably won't work, it has not
[00:23:44] been possible to get an interview with East Jutland
[00:23:46] police.
[00:27:15] than you did before
[00:27:19] more entertainment, but today it has become really
[00:28:51] weather forecast. Another evening and night awaits, where
[00:28:54] locally you can experience the temperature again coming close to
[00:28:58] freezing point, if not all the way down. There is at least a possibility that in several places we live in
[00:29:01] North Jutland on. Djursland and also places on Zealand, that we see a level where we
