[00:00:00] and to perform service, um, it breaks in and starts
[00:00:02] the defrost function, which is super annoying, uh,
[00:00:06] and that raises the temperature in both refrigeration and freezing, and thus
[00:00:10] goods worth many thousands, and and that there are worse, uh,
[00:00:14] destroyed because food or what do you call it, the cold chain is broken,
[00:00:17] uh, so it's the same thing we're
[00:00:21] stores, but several of them are seeing all over Europe. We've mostly seen supermarkets today, uh, but there's no doubt
[00:00:25] that this equipment is also found in food manufacturers and others who
[00:00:28] have very large refrigerators. freezer systems, can we talk about
[00:00:32] this food company, whose name you don't want to disclose because they don't want to come
[00:00:35] out at the moment, can we know if they had control over their security or if they
[00:00:39] neglected something in relation to their security? I have, uh, I have
[00:00:43] been allowed to see some of the communication their CEO sent in, and my
[00:00:46] assessment after seeing it is that this is a company that had good control
[00:00:50] over it, that is, there was a surveillance that caught it, which showed that this was something they
[00:00:53] needed to react to, and the company immediately decided to
[00:00:57] implement extra measures with more security. And I can already now, in so few
[00:01:01] hours, say that they have made the decision that they need to buy new equipment,
[00:01:05] so it's not just a company that either has control over
[00:01:09] it, they have also already taken the consequences of the situation becoming serious.
[00:01:12] Can we also assume that this is the only company that has attempted the attack, or are there others, when
[00:01:16] we, when we see that this one here, it is right now,
[00:01:19] what I have otherwise heard is hearsay, and that cannot be used
[00:01:23] here, but I have no doubt that both
[00:01:26] supermarkets and others who have refrigeration and freezer systems that are...
[00:01:30] internet-facing, meaning they have been attempted to be
[00:01:34] scanned and hacked in this attack that we also see all over
[00:01:37] Europe. Would you describe this as a crisis situation? No, we are
[00:01:41] thus a possibility that what not in a crisis situation yet, fortunately, supermarkets
[00:01:44] have a contingency plan to handle such things, and food
[00:01:48] producers also have, so even if some
[00:01:51] are affected and some goods have to be thrown away, the
[00:01:54] supermarkets make sure, because they are responsible, to get
[00:01:58] stocked up as quickly as possible, but it is clear that when
[00:02:01] supermarkets, uh, and across Europe are hit at once, then there are
[00:02:05] some, some, some deliveries that get, that get pressured, but it
[00:02:08] is also in such a situation that those who deliver the goods
[00:02:12] come together and make an extra effort so that supermarkets do not
[00:02:16] run out of goods. With regard to what we have seen tonight, both in Denmark and
[00:02:20] around Europe, how serious is this actually for the way
[00:02:23] we, yes, behave in the society we currently have? Well, there is no doubt
[00:02:27] that this plays a role in relation to it. We have arranged things so that
[00:02:31] everything must be on the internet. Now it is super serious when it comes to
[00:02:35] food safety, when it comes to supply security, but it
[00:02:38] also affects everything right down to the things we have in our private homes,
[00:02:42] uh, I myself have both a tumble dryer and a washing machine and a Sonos system and all sorts of
[00:02:46] things that are on the internet, and some of the things are necessary, and some of the things are not, and perhaps we
[00:02:50] need to re-evaluate this, from what we have in our private homes to what we do
[00:02:54] in companies, where some things are also on the internet that
[00:02:57] shouldn't be. This was from Jeppe Engel, who is the head of
[00:03:01] cybersecurity in Danish industry. Thank you. Yes, so let's take a look at the
[00:03:04] situation around Europe, where supermarkets in
[00:03:08] five other countries have been affected by cyberattacks, where
[00:03:12] in several places the temperature has been turned up to 50 degrees in freezers
[00:03:16] and refrigerated displays. In Belgium, which we see pictures from here, more
[00:03:20] than 50 supermarkets have been affected.
[00:03:23] Also in Sweden, Luxembourg, Ireland, and Estonia,
[00:03:26] stores report problems. According
[00:03:29] to the supplier in Estonia, it was an older operating system
[00:03:33] from Danish Danfoss, just as it happened in France three weeks
[00:03:36] ago. The Danish Agency for Social Security is investigating
[00:03:40] whether Danish stores are affected and encourages store owners to
[00:03:43] review their cooling systems, as we just heard from Danish
[00:03:47] industry. And the Danish industrial group
[00:03:50] Danfoss now confirms that their products have been a
[00:03:54] part of the cyberattacks that have taken place. We
[00:03:58] can confirm that the incidents that have been reported in several European
[00:04:01] countries also involve our products. We have been in
[00:04:05] close dialogue with our customers for the past three weeks, and continue to help them
[00:04:09] handle the situation, says
[00:04:12] Danfoss. And our reporter has visited one of the stores
[00:04:16] in Skåne, Sweden, that was affected by
[00:04:18] in that way there are areas that are already the hacker attack. Well, here in the refrigerated display,
[00:04:22] customers have been looking in vain for frozen berries and
[00:04:26] bread and and everything that one normally, uh, looks for
[00:04:29] here in the town of Sjöbo, which is a smaller town and not
[00:04:33] the capital here in Sweden, but nevertheless, at least,
[00:04:36] it was quite a grim sight that, uh,
[00:04:40] awaited the store manager here when he arrived this morning. There were
[00:04:43] simply melted blueberry tarts and
[00:04:47] all sorts of other things, uh, so they have simply spent the whole morning, the whole
[00:04:50] morning just throwing out and throwing out and
[00:04:54] throwing out. Hundreds of kilos they have thrown out, up to several
[00:04:58] tons of food, which was just thrown out in the container, because
[00:05:01] among other things, the freezers here, and also a number of refrigerators, were
[00:05:05] turned up to 50 degrees during
[00:05:07] the night, so it's exactly the same thing that happened in
[00:05:11] France about three weeks ago, so they weren't at all prepared for
[00:05:15] something like this to happen?
[00:05:18] No, they haven't been, that is, it's the situation where it's
[00:05:22] a local grocer who owns the store here, and also the systems,
[00:05:26] uh, ICA is a large chain of stores, so they have
[00:05:30] many
[00:05:33] independently owned by grocers, uh,
[00:05:37] including this store, so the systems have been
[00:05:40] their own, like to... and decide what it should be, so it has simply
[00:05:44] surprised them, uh, that this could happen, and that is also what
[00:05:47] the store manager says, why should this happen to me, and that is
[00:05:51] also what the customers do not understand, why, uh, why would one
[00:05:55] do this, who, who wants to hit us in this
[00:05:58] way, it is simply something that causes wonder, yes, you have spoken
[00:06:02] with several of the customers, Simone, that is, how, how do they react
[00:06:06] besides, of course, finding this completely
[00:06:07] incomprehensible?
[00:06:11] Well, when I, when I ask them what they, what they think about it, well, they say that
[00:06:15] that they can't understand why it affects such a local
[00:06:18] business like this, that is, what is the intention with it,
[00:06:22] uh, and we don't know exactly what the intention is, and why it affects so many different
[00:06:26] ones and so on and so forth,
[00:06:29] uh, yes, so it, it is, it is clear that, uh, that
[00:06:33] it is something that causes frustration for the locals, that
[00:06:37] they cannot come down and get the goods that they actually wanted, and it
[00:06:41] affects a local community, such as here, which is a relatively
[00:06:44] small town with not so many shops, so when you cannot
[00:06:48] get these goods, then it actually means
[00:06:51] something. And many of the systems that have been
[00:06:55] hacked are connected to the internet, and that is what makes them
[00:06:58] vulnerable, says an expert here. The problem
[00:07:02] is that there are many places where we have
[00:07:06] put these things directly on the internet, so they can be affected
[00:07:09] by all people out there, that is, all those who wish
[00:07:13] us harm, that they are directly on the internet, and it is easy to find these
[00:07:16] units, so it is, it is an easy attack in that
[00:07:19] sense, that many can figure out how to perform it, and especially with
[00:07:23] AI it becomes even easier, uh,
[00:07:26] the problem is that we have all these units that are directly on
[00:07:29] the internet, and and can be affected, and we are
[00:07:33] of course following the situation with these hacker attacks here in TVA live,
[00:07:37] and you can also always read more about it in our live blog on
[00:07:41] DR.K.
[00:07:45] So it's tomorrow that Americans vote in the
[00:07:48] midterm elections, and in one of the crucial
[00:07:51] states, Michigan, yes, the Democrat Haley
[00:07:54] Stevens has at the eleventh hour gone against her own party. She has
[00:07:58] turned 180 degrees, and has now declared that she supports a
[00:08:02] Republican
[00:08:03] candidate.
[00:08:06] I woke up this morning and I decided to go to
[00:08:09] church, and I'm here with the person.
[00:08:19] Stevens herself ran in the primary for
[00:08:22] the Democrats, but she lost a close election to the party's
[00:08:26] more progressive candidate Abdul El Said, and while
[00:08:29] he declines to comment on Stevens' decision,
[00:08:33] the country's president Trump gladly
[00:08:35] seizes the opportunity.
[00:08:47] And it is absolutely not an everyday occurrence for a candidate
[00:08:50] to switch parties in the middle of an election campaign, says our international
[00:08:53] correspondent here. Because it's a very long way to go, because
[00:08:57] that's something the Democrats really, really wanted to avoid, and as Trump
[00:09:01] also says, he's right this time, this is a big thing, it was an unexpected
[00:09:05] thing. I mean, there are two things that are simply crucial. The
[00:09:08] first for the Democrats is that here they have.
[00:09:12] That is, a more moderate candidate, who then
[00:09:15] loses to Hally Stevens earlier in the year in the fight for who should run for
[00:09:19] the Democrats, then Abdul El Said comes
[00:09:22] and runs, and they then agree after arguing back and
[00:09:26] forth that she should now run with him and together,
[00:09:29] whereupon she then announces that no, she won't after all, she will
[00:09:33] now support Mike Rogers, who is the Republican, to that also belongs
[00:09:37] the fact that her boyfriend is a Republican, and he came out
[00:09:40] yesterday or the day before yesterday and announced that he supported Mike
[00:09:44] Rogers. What they then discussed, she said when she woke up and went to
[00:09:47] church, she must then have really, I mean, thought about
[00:09:50] things, that's one thing, the other thing is that for the Democrats it is
[00:09:54] simply absolutely crucial to get every
[00:09:57] single Senate, Senate seat in the
[00:10:01] new Senate that they can get, it is absolutely crucially important, so they can get a
[00:10:04] majority there, that's what they are really fighting for, and that could well
[00:10:08] mean, that could well change something, we don't know what the situation is now, we
[00:10:12] know. Many have voted due to previous voting by mail and
[00:10:16] so on, but uh, how will this
[00:10:19] play out, will it give more support
[00:10:22] to the Republicans or what, because that's what
[00:10:25] they are fighting for. Also in Ukraine, hackers have been
[00:10:29] at play, and here it has affected the mobile app that
[00:10:33] warns the population about attacks. This is confirmed
[00:10:36] by the country's air defense to the news agency AFP. This is
[00:10:39] what we can see here, that is, the messages Ukrainians have received, these
[00:10:43] false alarms on their mobile phones about imminent
[00:10:46] attacks with nuclear weapons, chemical weapons and
[00:10:49] street fighting. The report of irregularities
[00:10:52] on the app came just minutes after. in the eastern region
[00:10:56] of Kherson expired last night, and it has caused
[00:11:00] confusion. Well, it is clear that it has made many
[00:11:04] Ukrainians scared simply because it was just at the time when people
[00:11:07] were going to bed that these alarms ticked in. It quickly became
[00:11:11] clear, however, that this was a false alarm, that this was a
[00:11:14] hacker attack, but there are probably a lot of Ukrainians who were very scared
[00:11:18] last night. I was also myself, one might say, surprised by this
[00:11:22] alarm that ticked in, also because many Ukrainians are currently
[00:11:26] experiencing the war in such an escalation,
[00:11:29] what can you say, spiral at the moment, where it is constantly becoming more and more violent, and therefore
[00:11:33] they are afraid of what Russia might do. Who do you think is
[00:11:37] behind this hacker attack? Well, according to the Ukrainian
[00:11:41] authorities, it is Russia that is behind this, they have announced
[00:11:44] it, but we don't know. The Ukrainian media speculate
[00:11:48] a lot about this and try to analyze these messages that have been
[00:11:52] sent in, whether one can decode something, but right now
[00:11:55] we don't know if it is Russia that is behind this, even though it is like
[00:11:59] the general perception here among Ukrainians, but
[00:12:02] also the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations' app has been hacked, writes
[00:12:06] the news agency TASS. Here the message to users was that nuclear missiles had been
[00:12:10] launched across the entire
[00:12:12] country.
[00:12:17] TV2 has not complied with its own guidelines in connection
[00:12:21] with the controversial program, "Everyone loves Rasmus," says.
[00:12:25] now from Culture Minister Senia Stampe. I have
[00:12:28] been, uh, down and looked at TV2's guidelines, and
[00:12:32] they actually state very clearly and explicitly that all participants have
[00:12:35] a right to know the framework and theme for recordings they
[00:12:39] participate in, and therefore this is also a clear breach of
[00:12:42] TV2's own internal ethical
[00:12:45] guidelines. The program was removed on Saturday
[00:12:49] after massive criticism and accusations of adult
[00:12:51] bullying. In the series, Rasmus reveals
[00:12:55] his dream of making a feature film, but after four months,
[00:12:58] it turns out that it's all a hoax. Yesterday,
[00:13:01] TV2 acknowledged that the program should not have been broadcast, and
[00:13:05] also that a central audio clip had been manipulated.
[00:13:08] The channel is now launching an investigation into
[00:13:12] the entire course of events with the program. Several parties have
[00:13:15] urged the Minister of Culture to intervene in the matter, but Senior
[00:13:18] Stampe rejects this. I think it would be enormously problematic
[00:13:22] if I as a minister interfered in program operations or personnel matters, we have a very
[00:13:26] strong tradition of public service media being independent, I think
[00:13:30] we should be happy about that, it means that most people trust TV2, but right here, that trust
[00:13:34] has suffered an enormous uh, an enormous break, and that is
[00:13:37] TV2's own fault, and I think TV2 is also aware of it, and
[00:13:41] TV2 knows now that it is up to them whether they regain
[00:13:45] the trust of the Danes, uh, I urge them to
[00:13:49] do everything they can to restore it. and I also believe that they will, but
[00:13:53] it depends on
[00:13:55] uh, what they do now, and I think it's better
[00:13:58] than me going in and making new rules or micromanaging, especially
[00:14:01] when I can ascertain that the rules they have should actually be sufficient to
[00:14:05] prevent something like this in the future, and we have tried to
[00:14:09] get a comment from TV2, who has not responded to our
[00:14:12] inquiries. Here we will have a look at the
[00:15:21] hacker attacks against and several places in Europe have now spread
[00:15:26] to Denmark. Danish industry has reported
[00:15:29] that they received an alert from their
[00:15:33] supplier of their refrigeration systems last night,
[00:15:37] who said they had been attacked. Yes, it
[00:15:40] was indeed, and hacker attacks have occurred in supermarkets in several
[00:15:43] places in Europe. In the attacks, the temperature of
[00:15:47] freezers and refrigerated displays in several places was turned up to 50
[00:15:50] degrees, and in Belgium, which we see pictures from here, more than 50
[00:15:54] supermarkets have been affected. Also in Sweden, Luxembourg, Ireland,
[00:15:58] Finland, and Estonia, stores report problems. According
[00:16:00] to the supplier in Estonia, it was an older operating system from Danish
[00:16:04] Danfoss that was hacked, which
[00:16:08] Danfoss confirms. At the Danish
[00:16:11] food producer that was attacked, the attack was detected
[00:16:13] in time. Those who monitored it discovered it and
[00:16:17] managed to, so to speak, set the temperature back to where it
[00:16:21] should be, made sure that it could no longer happen and began to
[00:16:25] install new security, and the company has since announced that
[00:16:28] they now have to invest in new equipment, because
[00:16:32] they cannot take the chance and that extra security is not
[00:16:35] enough.
[00:16:39] Here we are at one of the affected places in Sweden, it is
[00:16:42] the ICA store in Skåne. Here they have had to throw out kilos of
[00:16:46] frozen goods after they had been in the far too warm
[00:16:49] refrigerated displays. Yes, it's almost everything we throw out,
[00:16:53] it's several hundred thousands, it can be up to,
[00:16:55] yes, Simone Nielsen, you are in this
[00:16:57] store that has been severely affected. What is the situation
[00:17:01] now?
[00:17:03] Well, all day they have simply
[00:17:06] worked and worked to empty all the freezer displays,
[00:17:09] as you can see, they are completely empty now, and they have been trying
[00:17:12] to take stock of how many goods they have had to
[00:17:16] throw out, that is, a massive, huge,
[00:17:19] enormous food waste, simply, uh, it was
[00:17:23] a terrible sight that met the staff when they came in this morning, as you might have
[00:17:26] noticed a little from the pictures, uh, so it was, uh, this, these are
[00:17:30] freezer displays normally, and the temperature was simply
[00:17:34] up to 50 degrees, but now
[00:17:37] they are, now they are empty, and the last cleaning is underway,
[00:17:41] and tomorrow they also expect that there will be
[00:17:45] replenished goods again, and customers will be able to come back and
[00:17:49] get frozen goods again. And many
[00:17:51] of the systems that have been hacked are connected to
[00:17:55] the internet, and that is what makes them vulnerable, says an expert
[00:17:58] here. The problem
[00:18:01] is that there are many places where we
[00:18:05] have connected these things directly to the internet, so they can be
[00:18:08] attacked by all people out there, that is, all those who wish
[00:18:11] us harm, that they are directly on the internet, and it is easy to find
[00:18:15] these devices, so it is, it is an easy attack in the
[00:18:19] sense that many can figure out how to perform it, and especially with
[00:18:22] AI it becomes even easier, uh,
[00:18:26] the problem is that we have all these devices that are directly on the internet,
[00:18:30] and and can be affected. The Danish Agency for
[00:18:32] Social Security is now investigating the situation in Denmark and urges
[00:18:36] store owners to review their cooling systems, and we
[00:18:39] are of course following the situation with these hacker attacks. You can
[00:18:43] also continuously follow our live blog on
[00:18:45] DR.K.
[00:18:49] In less than 24 hours, polling stations in
[00:18:53] the US will open, and everything currently indicates that it will be a close midterm election
[00:18:57] tomorrow, especially for the Senate, and the southern state of
[00:19:00] Texas is one of the states everyone is talking about, because here Trump's
[00:19:04] Republican party is normally secure. But now the
[00:19:08] Democrats believe that for the first time in more than 30 years, they can
[00:19:12] win. From the higher altitudes, it looks like a busy
[00:19:15] construction site. But from his car, Mario Guerrero can only
[00:19:19] see a kind of unfinished
[00:19:20] ghost building.
[00:19:27] is at the head of the area's largest union for craftsmen.
[00:19:30] Craftsmen who are missing
[00:19:32] work.
[00:20:07] that all Latinos in Texas voted for Donald Trump in the presidential election, but in the
[00:20:11] midterm election tomorrow, it seems that people like restaurant owner Irma
[00:20:15] Gonzales will punish
[00:20:16] the Republicans.
[00:20:24] Like everywhere else in the USA, people here in Texas are struggling with
[00:20:27] the economy, but because of the large proportion of Latinos in
[00:20:30] Texas, approximately 40%, immigration authorities
[00:20:34] ICE and their methods have made a particularly strong impression.
[00:20:37] My brother was here at the age of three, he is now
[00:20:40] 44 and he got deported, all he
[00:20:43] knows is living here in the
[00:20:46] states.
[00:20:50] the battle from his office, but regardless of the outcome, he is ready to
[00:20:53] protect his
[00:20:54] members.
[00:21:02] Yes, so you're with us, Kim Bilsø, our US correspondent, how
[00:21:06] big a loss would it be for the Republicans and Trump
[00:21:08] if Texas goes to
[00:21:10] the Democrats?
[00:21:13] It would be a huge loss, and it would be a loss of prestige,
[00:21:17] and it would also bring the Democrats closer to
[00:21:20] the majority in the Senate, which they really hope for, and you have to
[00:21:24] remember, Texas has such a special mythical role in the USA,
[00:21:27] it is a special state, and it has been, as we also
[00:21:31] heard in the segment, a Republican stronghold, a place where they
[00:21:35] were sure to win, but it is at stake this
[00:21:38] time, and it will be one of the states that people will really watch
[00:21:41] out for, because as I said, it will be a huge defeat for Trump
[00:21:45] and the Republicans if the Texas Senate seat goes to
[00:21:49] the Democrats. So many are looking to Texas in
[00:21:52] anticipation, and we are very close to the election now, Kim. What will you be watching
[00:21:56] besides Texas, in the next
[00:21:58] day?
[00:22:01] Well, once the votes start to be counted, what we all look for
[00:22:05] is whether the polls hold up. That is, the polls have shown that
[00:22:08] the Democrats are poised to win a majority in the House of Representatives,
[00:22:12] the Senate is very close, but polls in
[00:22:16] the US have historically been poor and just. have such an
[00:22:19] example: 15 of the last 16 elections in the US,
[00:22:22] the strength of the Republicans has been underestimated, and that was also the case with
[00:22:26] Trump, for example in the presidential election, so there is
[00:22:31] some believe will be a sure Democratic victory, for example for
[00:22:35] the House, that it will not go that way at all, so that is one of the very first things
[00:22:38] I will keep an eye on, that is, when the votes start to be counted,
[00:22:42] do these polls hold
[00:22:45] up, uh, or will we see a
[00:22:48] result that again... will surprise,
[00:22:51] uh, that will be one of the most important things to keep an eye on initially at
[00:22:55] least.
[00:23:00] Marius Borg Høiby, son of the Norwegian Queen Mette
[00:23:03] Marith, will be released from his pre-trial detention. This is reported by several
[00:23:07] Norwegian media after the Oslo City Court decided not to extend
[00:23:10] his pre-trial detention. According to NRK, Marius Borg
[00:23:14] Høiby has been in pre-trial detention for 39 weeks. For the
[00:23:17] past 16, he has served
[00:23:20] with an ankle monitor. Marius Borg Høiby was found guilty this summer
[00:23:23] of abuse of close relations against his ex-girlfriend and two
[00:23:27] rapes involving sexual acts other than intercourse.
[00:23:30] The public prosecutor's office in Norway has, according to the media outlet VG, appealed the City Court's
[00:23:34] decision to release Majorsborg
[00:23:37] Høiby.
[00:23:40] In Ukraine, a mobile app that warns the population about attacks
[00:23:43] has been hacked. Ukrainians then received false alarms on their
[00:23:47] mobile phones about imminent attacks with nuclear weapons,
[00:23:51] chemical weapons, and street fighting. Also the The Russian
[00:23:54] Ministry of Emergency Situations app has been hacked, writes news agency
[00:23:58] Tas. The false alarms on the app in Ukraine
[00:24:02] created both confusion and fear.
[00:24:06] Also because many Ukrainians are currently experiencing that the war is in such an
[00:24:09] escalation,
[00:24:11] what can you call it, a spiral at the moment, where everything is constantly becoming more and more violent, and therefore
[00:24:15] they are afraid of what Russia might
[00:24:17] do.
[00:24:20] The Danish shoe manufacturer Eco is closing two factories in Portugal and
[00:24:24] Vietnam, meaning more than 2,000 employees will lose their
[00:24:27] jobs. Eco is also cutting 400 positions in other
[00:24:30] parts of the world, including 80 in Denmark.
[00:24:34] The company has experienced falling sales and
[00:24:37] losses in recent years.
[00:24:42] Weapons are to be produced on the site where the chemical company
[00:24:45] Keminova is located today. At least if it
[00:24:49] is up to the Minister of Defence, Jeppe Bos, who wants to boost Denmark's
[00:24:52] arms production. It is clear that we are looking at all the
[00:24:55] possibilities we can to establish a new defence industry, and therefore it is
[00:24:59] obvious with the current development, to see if we can establish something that
[00:25:03] also produces some of what is explosive, because
[00:25:08] demarcated, and where one is already used to producing
[00:25:12] something toxic. The minister arrived this afternoon
[00:25:16] at Caminova with one of the defence's helicopters to get a tour
[00:25:20] of the West Jutland chemical factory, and several
[00:25:22] arms manufacturers have shown interest in replacing chemicals here with
[00:25:26] gunpowder and bullets after it emerged that Keminova is closing at
[00:25:29] New Year.
[00:25:31] It makes good sense, because if we look not only at the Danish situation, but also the
[00:25:35] European one, we are in a situation where we have to
[00:25:38] scale up our military industry, and it must
[00:25:42] go fast, so when an opportunity arises to perhaps reuse some
[00:25:46] existing buildings, and you can thus speed up a process, then it makes...
[00:25:50] The comedian
[00:25:52] Rasmus Wallbridge has now received an "unreserved
[00:25:55] apology" from Drive
[00:25:58] Studios, according to the production company behind the program.
[00:26:02] Everyone loves Rasmus, who has been the subject of massive criticism in recent days. In a
[00:26:06] written comment to us, Drive
[00:26:10] Studios writes: "On Saturday, we reached out directly to Rasmus
[00:26:13] Wallbridge and offered him an unreserved apology. We are truly
[00:26:17] sorry for his experience with the program. The idea was to create
[00:26:20] a different kind of comedy series, but the format went too far. We should
[00:26:24] have been better at putting ourselves in Rasmus's shoes,
[00:26:28] even after the filming," it states. Drive Studios
[00:26:32] is not the only one in the spotlight for "Everyone Loves Rasmus." TV2 in particular
[00:26:35] has faced massive criticism, and according to the
[00:26:38] Minister of Culture, they have not lived up to their own guidelines in
[00:26:42] connection with this program. "I have
[00:26:45] looked at TV2's guidelines, and
[00:26:48] they actually state very clearly and distinctly that all participants are
[00:26:52] entitled to know the framework and theme of the recordings they
[00:26:55] participate in, and therefore this is also a clear breach of
[00:26:59] TV2's own internal ethical guidelines."
[00:27:03] The program was removed on Saturday after massive criticism and accusations of
[00:27:07] adult bullying and psychological torture. In the series,
[00:27:10] Rasmus Wallbridge lives out a dream of making a feature film, but
[00:27:14] after four months, it turns out that it's all a
[00:27:17] scam. And yesterday, TV2 admitted that a central
[00:27:20] audio clip had been manipulated, and
[00:27:24] at the same time, the channel will launch an investigation into the entire process
[00:27:27] surrounding the program. Several parties have urged the Minister of Culture to
[00:27:31] intervene in the matter, but Senior
[00:27:33] Stampe rejects this. "I think it would be extremely problematic if
[00:27:37] I as minister went in and interfered with program content or interfered with
[00:27:41] personnel matters. We have a very strong tradition that public service
[00:27:45] media are independent, and I think we should be happy about that. It means
[00:27:49] that most people trust TV2, but right here, that trust
[00:27:52] has suffered an enormous break, and that is
[00:27:56] TV2's own fault." And TV2
[00:27:59] announced this afternoon to Ritzau and the media's own senior editor
[00:28:03] and legal department will now investigate the process surrounding "Everyone
[00:28:07] Loves Rasmus." We have of course also tried to get a comment from
[00:28:10] TV2 today, and they have not responded to our
