[00:00:00] For according to the minister, it needs to be faster to
[00:00:03] produce gunpowder and bullets on Danish soil than it has been until now. We
[00:00:07] are experiencing a large influx of companies that want to. We are also in the process
[00:00:11] of establishing a number of Ukrainian companies in
[00:00:13] Denmark, and then it's true that there are other places where things have gone too slowly. Therefore,
[00:00:17] we also need action, and that's why I'm here today. In
[00:00:20] 2023, the state repurchased the old factory
[00:00:24] Krutting, Krutten here in Elling, which previously manufactured ammunition.
[00:00:28] But more than three years later, not a single
[00:00:32] grenade or cartridge has been produced, and in Vojens,
[00:00:35] the Ukrainian defense company Firepoint last year received a loan
[00:00:38] of 750 million to produce
[00:00:41] rocket fuel, but the factory has been delayed since
[00:00:44] the first groundbreaking. It hasn't
[00:00:48] exactly gone fast, but we are also in a different place than when we were when
[00:00:51] these projects started, and if we're honest, we only started taking it seriously in Denmark when
[00:00:55] the Prime Minister stood up and said buy,
[00:00:59] buy, buy. in February 2025, and that is related to
[00:01:02] the war in Ukraine continuing, while we no longer believe that the Americans will come and
[00:01:06] help us, and they might rather attack Greenland. Yes, Mads
[00:01:10] Kors, are you with us? The good question is then, will anything happen
[00:01:13] now that we see a minister visiting the old Kiminova
[00:01:17] site?
[00:01:20] I see at least two purposes with this visit. Europe
[00:01:24] is in a situation where it is clear that there is a need for
[00:01:27] production capacity. We can just. on the Patriot
[00:01:31] missiles that Ukraine desperately needs, and
[00:01:34] everyone is waiting for more of them to be produced
[00:01:38] in the USA, and incidentally on the American president's
[00:01:41] side, so Europe would really like to be able to produce such
[00:01:45] things themselves, and the experiences from the battlefield show that one needs
[00:01:49] very, very large quantities, so it's about
[00:01:52] production capacity, and the other part, the other purpose
[00:01:56] is that there is a large regional workplace that has
[00:01:59] closed. The factory, it just so happens to have a
[00:02:03] location that makes it suitable for, for example,
[00:02:06] use for weapons production, so if the minister can unite these two
[00:02:10] purposes, i.e., increased production, creating
[00:02:13] local jobs, then it's a really good
[00:02:17] deal for Jeppe Bros. Right now, I don't think the Danish
[00:02:21] state is keen to spend several billions on
[00:02:24] state-run arms production. This is something they
[00:02:28] really want external partners to take care of, to
[00:02:31] operate, possibly with some Danish orders behind it, but I don't think
[00:02:35] you should expect to see state-run arms production on
[00:02:38] the West Coast. And now we turn to
[00:02:41] giant holiday homes, which are once again being debated. Right now, there are over
[00:02:45] 3800 giant holiday homes here in Denmark,
[00:02:48] that is, houses up to 400 square meters with space for up to
[00:02:52] 30 guests, like those we see near Fjellerup on
[00:02:56] Norddjurs, and now there could be even more on the way to
[00:02:59] Djursland. But the residents of the small town of Dråby are,
[00:03:03] to put it mildly, not thrilled. Would
[00:03:06] you like some water? At the Aude family, a
[00:03:09] bike ride in nature is an important part of everyday life. This is our
[00:03:12] beach we're going to. Because right now it's safe
[00:03:16] to send the children out on the road. We use it a lot, because it's just a small
[00:03:21] necessary discussion in bike ride from here, and now we have two children who can ride themselves. But now they
[00:03:25] might have to share it. There could be 108 giant
[00:03:29] holiday homes on the way just outside
[00:03:32] the town, and the only road goes through Dråby, well, as far
[00:03:36] as the eye can see, holiday homes are to be built here, so we're talking about thousands of cars passing through here every single
[00:03:39] day, it seems completely senseless. This is not the first time that
[00:03:43] giant holiday homes have caused debate. Here
[00:03:45] cleaned up, and the cooling elements you can see the holiday homes as they look today. In Hostrup Strand near
[00:03:48] Skive, giant holiday homes have had consequences. They destroy
[00:03:51] nature. Some of our neighbors have sold their holiday home for the same
[00:03:55] reason. But it is possible to build large
[00:03:58] holiday homes in a way that local communities welcome them?
[00:04:02] The more tourists it attracts, the more trade there is, and more
[00:04:05] jobs can be created here. Here in Fjellerup on Djursland, a new
[00:04:09] holiday center has been built on the outskirts of the town, which can attract up to
[00:04:12] 80,000 extra overnight stays per year. You drive
[00:04:15] in here, and then there are completely enclosed areas only
[00:04:19] for the holiday guests here. The difference here is that the holiday homes can
[00:04:23] be rented out all year round, and the location also has a lot to say.
[00:04:27] There's no destroying our beautiful nature, it's being built
[00:04:30] up behind, where it doesn't bother anyone, we keep our beautiful
[00:04:32] coastline, hey goats, back in Dråby,
[00:04:36] the prospect of more tourists, however, brings no
[00:04:39] comfort. But isn't it part of settling in a municipality like
[00:04:43] Ebeltoft to share the roads with tourists, and also share
[00:04:46] nature? Well, I am happy to share, so the only thing I ask is
[00:04:50] that there, that it is done in a
[00:04:54] respectful way, and a way that does not, I mean
[00:04:57] come at a cost to both, I mean
[00:05:01] nature and and the well-being of us who have
[00:05:04] chosen to live here, and the consultation phase for Dråby ends
[00:05:08] on December 16th, and only after that will politicians then decide on
[00:05:12] the project.
[00:05:16] And now to the American midterm elections tomorrow. Even though
[00:05:19] Donald Trump is not up for election, it is also a kind of
[00:05:22] exam for the president when Americans decide
[00:05:26] who will have power in the two chambers of Congress,
[00:05:29] the Senate and the House of Representatives. But regardless of whether the votes
[00:05:32] fall to the Republicans or the Democrats,
[00:05:36] there are many Americans who do not trust
[00:05:39] the election in advance.
[00:05:42] is to make sure that they keep democrats in charge, that's their whole
[00:05:46] interest, their interest is not about the people. Uh, I
[00:05:50] am extremely
[00:05:52] afraid of what Trump may do on election
[00:05:55] day, he's been threatening to send in a thousand
[00:05:58] troops. Trine Maria Ilsy, you're with us from the state
[00:06:02] of Michigan. We hear distrust from voters you've been around
[00:06:05] talking to. What significance does this distrust have for
[00:06:08] the election?
[00:06:11] Yes, that probably depends on how the election turns out, because
[00:06:15] Donald Trump is already traveling around with stories that
[00:06:19] there might be election fraud, and that's especially a story he'll build on if
[00:06:22] Republicans lose the election, but perhaps especially
[00:06:26] if it's a very close election, where it comes down to maybe one
[00:06:30] or two states determining which
[00:06:33] of the two parties gets the majority in the Senate, then this
[00:06:37] distrust can gain new momentum, and perhaps also make
[00:06:40] this a discussion that... doesn't just end this week, but
[00:06:44] can also continue right up until the next presidential election. That's at least what Donald
[00:06:48] Trump is building up to. And everything
[00:06:51] currently suggests that it will be a fierce election tomorrow, especially for
[00:06:55] the Senate. The Southern state of Texas is one of the
[00:06:58] states everyone is talking about right now. Yes, Trump's Republican
[00:07:02] party normally holds it securely, but for the first time in more than 30 years,
[00:07:06] a Democrat could be elected to the Senate, and that is due
[00:07:09] especially to one group of voters. Because.
[00:07:12] In the higher echelons, it looks like a busy construction site,
[00:07:16] but from his car, Mario can only see a kind of unfinished
[00:07:19] ghost car.
[00:07:25] Mario Guerrero leads the area's largest trade union for
[00:07:28] craftsmen, craftsmen who are missing
[00:07:30] today.
[00:07:35] Here in Texas, Latinos make up 61% of
[00:07:37] the construction industry.
[00:07:40] But many of them no longer dare to come to work.
[00:07:46] Every time Trump has been up for election, Mario has voted for
[00:07:49] him, but tomorrow their paths diverge.
[00:08:04] It is estimated that over half of all Latinos in Texas voted for Donald
[00:08:08] Trump in the presidential election, but in the midterm elections tomorrow, it appears that precisely for.
[00:08:36] like everywhere else in the US, people here in Texas are struggling with the economy, but because
[00:08:39] of the large proportion of Latinos in Texas, around 61
[00:08:42] percent, the immigration authorities, ICE, and their methods have made
[00:08:46] a particularly strong impression.
[00:08:59] Mario Garedo is now following the election campaign from his office, but regardless of
[00:09:02] the result, he is ready to protect his
[00:09:05] members.
[00:09:12] Yes, that's Texas. Trina Maria, you have traveled around several places in
[00:09:16] the USA and talked with many voters. What matters
[00:09:20] to those you have talked to leading up to tomorrow's
[00:09:22] election? If we start with
[00:09:26] immigration, because that is a concern, a concern that I have also
[00:09:29] encountered in the states that I have already visited. There are
[00:09:33] many who are happy that Donald Trump has stopped
[00:09:36] mass immigration, as they call it, but they also believe he has gone too
[00:09:40] far, so that is certainly something that concerns many. And then it is also
[00:09:43] especially the economy, that's what we hear in Texas, that's what you hear in Kentucky, in Ohio,
[00:09:47] no matter where we travel,
[00:09:50] because it has become expensive to fill up your car with gas, it is expensive to buy
[00:09:54] groceries, where it is also about people being dissatisfied with
[00:09:57] the war in Iraq,
[00:10:01] trade war is also something that affects, it's also something we hear from farmers, so there
[00:10:05] is a broad dissatisfaction, but there is also another narrative,
[00:10:09] because one thing is, is it Donald Trump's fault that things are going so badly?
[00:10:12] They think right now, some believe it's still Joe Biden's fault, that is, the former
[00:10:16] president, and then there is also the, then there is also what
[00:10:19] the Republicans are trying to say, and that is, if you elect a
[00:10:23] Democrat, you get socialism. and that's worse, so there are two narratives in
[00:10:27] this, and that's what dominates, and you can follow the midterm elections here
[00:10:31] with us on Wednesday, we will broadcast election morning with the first results from
[00:10:34] six o'clock, that's on DR1 and
[00:10:36] DRTV.
[00:10:41] Danish shoe manufacturer Ecco is closing two factories in Portugal and
[00:10:45] Vietnam, meaning that more than 2000 employees
[00:10:49] will lose their jobs. Ecco is also cutting 400 positions in other parts
[00:10:53] of the world, 80 of which are in Denmark. The company has experienced
[00:10:57] declining sales and losses in recent years. So
[00:11:00] their intention was to be allowed to put the camera on
[00:11:04] our roof right up here. Yes, several
[00:11:07] hotels on Bornholm have been contacted by a foreign company
[00:11:10] that wants to pay the hotels to set up cameras with a view
[00:11:14] of the Baltic Sea. The company says the cameras are to be used to
[00:11:18] monitor ship traffic. But the offer has aroused
[00:11:21] suspicion, and a hotel owner has already contacted the police
[00:11:25] intelligence service, and Kell Hammer from Hotel Sandvig
[00:11:28] Havn has also said no thank you. We must of course
[00:11:31] be skeptical, we must be critical, and of course we must say no to
[00:11:35] such things, unless the authorities are
[00:11:39] involved.
[00:11:45] 700 Germans attended an info meeting today in
[00:11:48] Reghympingskern municipality to hear about opportunities to live and work in
[00:11:52] West Jutland. Many local businesses are lacking
[00:11:55] labor, and therefore, yes, they hope to attract our southern neighbors to
[00:11:59] the area, and several were positive about the prospect of a life in
[00:12:03] Denmark. In Germany, everything is very geared
[00:12:06] towards working a lot, that it's always just about work and money, and here we
[00:12:09] simply want more conscious time, especially for family and for the community.
[00:12:13] to have.
[00:12:14] The massively criticized
[00:12:19] TV program, Everyone Loves Rasmus, will be investigated by TV2's
[00:12:22] own senior editor and
[00:12:25] legal department, according to TV2. And both
[00:12:28] TV2 and now also the production company behind the program,
[00:12:32] called Drive Studios, admit that they went too
[00:12:35] far. And even though the TV series has sparked a
[00:12:38] debate about the limits of entertainment TV, yes, several
[00:12:41] industry professionals fear that it won't be the last time that a
[00:12:45] TV program goes far beyond the line.
[00:12:48] Comedian Andreas Bo has followed the debate about the series, Everyone Loves
[00:12:52] Rasmus, in recent days. If it's going to change anything, I can only say one thing, I hope so. I really hope it will
[00:12:56] change something, but do you think so? No, we'll return to the reason.
[00:13:00] In the series, comedian Rasmus Wallbridge believes he is making a
[00:13:04] feature film. We would really like to continue with this, a huge dream for him,
[00:13:07] yes, that's right, we would really like to, but it's all a lie because
[00:13:10] everyone around him is acting, and only four
[00:13:13] months later does he learn the truth, so we never had a film.
[00:13:16] The series has received massive criticism over the weekend. It shows how
[00:13:20] far removed people on such a director's floor can be from the real world. I
[00:13:24] don't understand that they couldn't see how wrong it was. Initially,
[00:13:28] TV2 stood firm. If Rasmus had said it was
[00:13:31] too much, we simply wouldn't have shown it. But the criticism
[00:13:35] continued, and TV2 eventually removed the programs. They have launched
[00:13:38] an internal investigation and apologized. It should not have been
[00:13:42] aired, and we should have been much quicker to realize it and to say
[00:13:46] sorry. The production company behind it has also
[00:13:49] apologized today. We are truly sorry for his experience with
[00:13:53] the program. The idea was to create a different comedy series,
[00:13:56] but the format went too far. But even though TV2
[00:14:00] regrets it, Andreas Bo fears that it won't be the last time that
[00:14:03] boundaries are severely overstepped in the TV industry. The ideas that come up,
[00:14:07] they just get , well, I want to say
[00:14:11] dumber and dumber, I mean they become more and more, uh,
[00:14:14] dependent on algorithms, and and where the trends are going and so
[00:14:18] on. He shares the same point with others in
[00:14:21] the media industry. I am convinced that
[00:14:24] quite soon we will have a
[00:14:28] new humiliating format, where TV stations cannot
[00:14:31] resist using everything they have learned from reality about
[00:14:35] manipulating people, and everything they have learned from
[00:14:38] tech platforms about how many clicks it generates if you can
[00:14:41] see people being surprised and humiliated to create a
[00:14:45] new toxic product that will harm democratic trust.
[00:14:49] If this is not to happen again, it requires, according to Andreas
[00:14:52] Bo, not only a change from the TV industry. It's
[00:14:56] the viewers who have the power and congratulations on that, but
[00:14:58] use it wisely, for heaven's sake. And
[00:15:02] here at DR, we have tried in vain
[00:15:04] to get an interview with
[00:15:13] TV2. Alex Jones has gained millions of followers with his
[00:15:16] conspiracy theories.
[00:15:20] And he has been a loyal Trump supporter.
[00:15:27] But now it's over. The Iran war and the classified documents have turned friends into
[00:15:31] enemies.
[00:15:37] for advice from Trump's horizon tomorrow on DRTV and on
[00:15:40] DR1.
[00:15:42] In a moment, there will be midterm elections in the USA, and if opinion polls are to be believed, the
[00:15:46] Democrats are cruising to victory, but are they really,
[00:15:49] or are the polls wrong? While
[00:15:52] Republicans are fighting to retain both chambers of Congress, the
[00:15:55] question is what effect the president's popularity, or lack thereof,
[00:15:58] will have. We investigate this in
[00:16:01] Trump's USA, which you can find right now on
[00:16:04] DRTV. At the front in Ukraine,
[00:16:08] close combat is now taking place many meters below the Earth's
[00:16:11] surface.
[00:16:17] While drones make it life-threatening to move above ground, soldiers from
[00:16:21] both sides are now using a network of empty pipelines to surprise
[00:16:25] the enemy. This is the war's daily update right now on DR
[00:16:28] TV. Here are Lasse and
[00:16:31] Lars. Hi. We are looking for people with a special talent.
[00:16:35] Emma and Selma.
[00:16:39] They will travel around Denmark and solve tasks, but not
[00:16:42] alone, they need to get Danes to join
[00:16:45] in. We have to show them something they don't
[00:16:47] know.
[00:16:50] I don't think they've tried this before,
[00:16:51] no.
[00:16:54] What exactly is jazz as an instrument, is it this one? It's a genre. Oh,
[00:16:58] come along and let's
[00:17:00] wing it. That's a variant of a hearse I haven't
[00:17:04] seen before. Tune in for fun. Is it for your youth? or what is it?
[00:17:08] No, it's actually for DR. Saturday on DRTV and DR1.
[00:17:22] Good evening and welcome to the TV news at 18:30.
[00:17:25] Extensive hacker attacks in a number of European countries have
[00:17:29] destroyed food worth millions of
[00:17:32] kroner. It is frightening that we are so vulnerable,
[00:17:36] also if one has taken out so many at night in
[00:17:40] different countries. We
[00:17:42] usually love children and noise and happy people and so on, but
[00:17:46] this is constant, and it's around the clock.
[00:17:49] Large families and groups of friends love them,
[00:17:52] giant holiday homes like these, but the neighbors are
[00:17:55] divided.
[00:17:58] The TV2 program, Everybody Loves Rasmus, has sparked a debate
[00:18:02] about what an entertainment program can allow
[00:18:04] itself. I really hope it will change something. Do you think so?
[00:18:08] No.
[00:18:15] A massive hacker attack hit supermarkets today in
[00:18:19] several European countries. Via the Danish company
[00:18:22] Danfoss systems, in Sweden,
[00:18:25] Holland, Belgium, Luxembourg, Ireland, and Estonia. Here,
[00:18:29] hackers managed to turn up the temperature in display refrigerators and
[00:18:32] freezers to 50 degrees Celsius. And tons of
[00:18:36] goods went straight to the trash.
[00:18:38] "Simone Nielsen, you've been in Sjöbo, Sweden all day. How is
[00:18:42] the situation with you tonight
[00:18:43] evening?
[00:18:46] Well, the refrigerated display cases here, or the freezer display cases here in the freezer section,
[00:18:49] they are still completely empty, as you can see. They have had
[00:18:53] a massive amount of work all day to simply clean up and
[00:18:57] clean after they threw out, well, tons of
[00:19:01] food, uh, they are, all these refrigerated display cases have
[00:19:04] been filled with chicken and frozen berries and vegetables and..." when they arrived this
[00:19:08] morning, well, it was 50 degrees in these refrigerated display cases, so you can
[00:19:11] imagine how everything was not just thawed, but was simply heated up
[00:19:15] and melted everywhere, so it was quite a disaster the employees
[00:19:19] arrived to here, but now it's been
[00:19:23] are running again, so they are slowly cooling
[00:19:27] down, and again early tomorrow, yes, it will be filled with
[00:19:30] frozen goods, so you can again get frozen goods here in
[00:19:33] ICA, and then to Belgium and to you, Anne Sanner, what
[00:19:37] is the situation there with the hacker attack?
[00:19:40] Well, here in Belgium, over 70 stores,
[00:19:44] supermarkets and butchers have been affected nationwide. The worst
[00:19:47] affected is the supermarket chain Delhaize. I am standing in front of one
[00:19:51] of their stores right now, and they say that in several places
[00:19:55] they have had to throw out food worth almost half a
[00:19:58] million kroner, as temperatures in the freezers began to
[00:20:02] rise. And this afternoon, the Belgian
[00:20:05] public prosecutor's office says that they have... started a criminal
[00:20:08] investigation into the cyber attacks to get to the bottom of this
[00:20:12] case. And in Sweden, the attack affected
[00:20:15] several stores from the supermarket chains Coop and
[00:20:18] Ica, where these frozen and refrigerated goods became
[00:20:21] inedible. And this happened just a few weeks after
[00:20:25] similar hacker attacks took place in France and the Netherlands. And also
[00:20:29] here, yes, systems from Danish Danfoss
[00:20:31] were hacked.
[00:20:33] Empty shelves in the refrigerators and freezers here in the ICA supermarket in the Swedish
[00:20:37] town of Kjöbo. Is it to scare
[00:20:41] people or is it simply sabotage because
[00:20:44] one can
[00:20:45] sabotage?
[00:21:20] Then when these types of events
[00:21:22] occur, it's clear that there is concern. Hackers have gained
[00:21:26] access to supermarkets in Sweden, Ireland, Belgium, Luxembourg,
[00:21:30] Holland, and Estonia, partly via systems from Danish
[00:21:33] Danfoss, but a Danish company has also been under
[00:21:37] attack. One of our members has told us that they received an
[00:21:40] alarm that night from their supplier, their cooling system, saying they had been
[00:21:44] attacked. The attack should have been averted, and the necessary
[00:21:48] security measures taken. We are talking about a food producer, so it
[00:21:52] is part of their, uh, food chain, or what should I say, cooling chain,
[00:21:55] uh, where they might not have the exact same thing you see in a
[00:21:59] supermarket, but something the industry uses for storing the food
[00:22:03] they produce. An expert in cybersecurity has a theory about
[00:22:06] why we are seeing so many attacks against supermarkets. It could easily be
[00:22:10] someone who wants to create distrust, create noise, create
[00:22:14] insecurity in Europe, among other things, in relation to what is happening in
[00:22:17] Russia and Ukraine. Similar
[00:22:21] attacks occurred in October, when hundreds of French supermarkets had
[00:22:24] their cooling systems hacked through systems from Danfoss.
[00:22:28] The expert advises everyone to get an overview of the devices they have connected
[00:22:32] to the internet. That one ensures that they are updated,
[00:22:35] that they are hopefully on a different network than one's computer
[00:22:39] and phone, and then one should always consider the functionality one
[00:22:43] gains from having something online. In Sweden, Peter Kælberg has to
[00:22:46] calm down and arm himself with patience. We'll see
[00:22:50] what they come up with, and what the reason for it, or what
[00:22:53] the cause behind it is.
[00:22:56] Yes, Rasmus Stelberg, researcher in preparedness and societal security, we don't
[00:23:00] know the reason for this, but how
[00:23:03] vulnerable have we actually become, when something like this can happen? Yes,
[00:23:07] clearly a bit too vulnerable, and this simply shows the downside of the coin with
[00:23:11] digitalization, all that is easy and convenient, and really great when
[00:23:14] it works, it makes us vulnerable when there
[00:23:17] are openings that... the hackers can get
[00:23:20] through, and so, there are many who
[00:23:24] haven't been able to get their goods today all over Europe, but what does this do to
[00:23:28] our society? Well, I am a bit worried about the cohesion
[00:23:31] in our society, I mean what all these incidents we see, they
[00:23:35] potentially contribute to distrust in authorities for not being able to
[00:23:39] prevent it and prosecute it, now we don't yet know who is behind it,
[00:23:43] whether anyone will be caught, it can
[00:23:46] spread concern among the population, I mean, can I as
[00:23:49] a citizen get my goods, what happens, and then
[00:23:53] generally just such insecurity
[00:23:55] in our whole society. Can we do something about it? Well, I mean we can,
[00:23:59] we can talk about it, we can communicate about it, we can get good experts,
[00:24:02] as we see Jeppe and Jens here, to say what each of us can
[00:24:06] contribute, get updated, and then we can also have that
[00:24:11] our society about whether everything should be on the internet, I mean, does the
[00:24:15] convenience of being able to
[00:24:19] remotely control our freezer display cases
[00:24:23] in supermarkets outweigh the risk we expose ourselves to? That's a conversation that is
[00:24:26] political, and which we need to be able to have in our society. Thanks for coming
[00:24:29] here.
[00:24:33] Defense Minister Jeppe Bros will investigate whether weapons can be produced
[00:24:37] on the site where the old chemical company, Kiminova,
[00:24:40] is located.
[00:24:46] Yes, Jeppe Bros landed this afternoon by helicopter
[00:24:49] on the chemical site to take a closer look at the area at Harbour and Tange
[00:24:53] by Limfjorden. The scandal-ridden company will
[00:24:56] close at the New Year, and now the ministry will investigate whether Danish-produced
[00:25:00] weapons can be made there. According to the minister, it will
[00:25:04] be faster to produce. gunpowder and bullets on Danish soil than it has
[00:25:07] until now. We see a large stream of
[00:25:11] companies that want to. We are also in the process of establishing a number of
[00:25:14] Ukrainian companies in Denmark, and it is true that there are some other places
[00:25:17] where it has gone too slowly. Therefore, there has been a need for action, and that is why I am here
[00:25:21] today. In 2023,
[00:25:23] the state bought back the old gunpowder factory, Krudten, here in
[00:25:27] Elling, which previously produced ammunition. But more than
[00:25:31] three years later, not a single grenade or cartridge has been produced
[00:25:34] yet. And in Vogen, the Ukrainian defense company
[00:25:38] Firepoint received a loan last year of 750
[00:25:41] million to produce rocket fuel, but
[00:25:44] the factory has been delayed since the first groundbreaking took
[00:25:47] place. It is
[00:25:58] serious in Denmark when the prime minister stands up and says "buy, buy, buy" in
[00:26:01] February 2025, and this is related to the fact that the war in Ukraine
[00:26:05] continues, while we no longer believe that the Americans will come and help us, and they
[00:26:09] might rather attack Greenland. Yes, Mads
[00:26:12] Kors, are you with us? The good question is then, will anything happen
[00:26:15] now that we see a minister visiting the old
[00:26:18] Kiminova site?
[00:26:22] I see at least two purposes for this visit. Europe
[00:26:25] is in a situation where it is clear that there is a need for
[00:26:29] production capacity. We can just look at
[00:26:33] the Patriot missiles that
[00:26:36] Ukraine desperately needs, and everyone is waiting for more of them to be produced
[00:26:40] in the US, and incidentally, at the American president's
[00:26:43] behest, so Europe would really like to be able to produce such
[00:26:47] things itself, and the experiences from the battlefield show that one needs
[00:26:50] really, really large quantities, so that is
[00:26:53] production capacity, and the other part, the other
[00:26:57] purpose is that there is a large regional
[00:27:00] workplace that has closed, that is... the factory, it just so
[00:27:04] happens to be located in a way that makes it suitable for
[00:27:08] example to be used for weapon production, so if the minister can
[00:27:11] unite these two purposes, i.e., increased
[00:27:14] production, creating some local jobs, then it is
[00:27:18] a really good deal for Jeppe Bros. Right now, I don't think
[00:27:21] the Danish state is willing to throw more
[00:27:25] billions at a state-run weapon production,
[00:27:29] this is something they would really like to have external partners come in to
[00:27:32] take charge of, to operate possibly with some Danish orders
[00:27:36] behind it, but such a state-owned weapon production, I don't think we should
[00:27:39] expect to see on the west coast,
[00:27:42] and then we move on to giant summer houses, which are once again
[00:27:45] up for debate. Right now, there are over 30,800
[00:27:49] giant summer houses here in Denmark, i.e., houses up to 400
[00:27:52] square meters with space for up to 30 guests, like the ones we
[00:27:56] see at Fjellerup on Norddjurs, and now there may be
[00:27:59] even more on the way to Djursland. But the residents in
[00:28:03] the small town of Dråby are , to say the least, not
[00:28:06] thrilled. Would you like some water? For
[00:28:09] the Aude family, a bike ride in nature is an
[00:28:12] important part of everyday life. It's our beach we're going
[00:28:16] to, because right now it's safe to send the children out on the road.
[00:28:20] We use it a lot, because it's such a short bike ride from here, and
[00:28:23] now we have two children who can cycle by themselves. But now they
[00:28:27] might have to share it. There can be 108 giant
[00:28:31] summer houses on the way right out for the town, and the only road goes through
[00:28:34] Dråby. Well, as far as the eye can see, summer houses are to be built here, so
[00:28:38] we're talking about several thousand cars passing through here every single day. It
[00:28:42] seems completely senseless. It's not the first time that giant summer houses
[00:28:45] have caused debate. Here you can see the summer houses as they look today.
[00:28:49] In Hostrup Strand near Skive, giant summer houses have had
[00:28:52] consequences. They destroy nature. Some of our
[00:28:55] neighbors have sold their summer house for the same reason. But it is
[00:28:58] possible to build large holiday homes in a way that
[00:29:01] the local community welcomes it. The more tourists it attracts, the
[00:29:05] more trade there is, and more jobs can be created here. Here in
[00:29:08] Fjellerup on Djursland, a new holiday center has been built on the outskirts of
[00:29:12] the town, which can attract up to 80,000 extra
[00:29:15] overnight stays per year. So you drive in here, and then there are
[00:29:19] completely enclosed areas only for the holiday guests here.
[00:29:23] The difference here is that the holiday homes can be rented out all year round, and
[00:29:27] the location also matters a lot. There's no destroying our beautiful
[00:29:30] nature, it's being built up behind. So as not to bother anyone, we
[00:29:33] keep our beautiful coastline, hey
[00:29:36] goats, back in Dråby the prospect of more
[00:29:39] tourists, however, brings no comfort. But isn't it part of
[00:29:43] settling in a municipality like Ebeltoft that you have to share the roads with
[00:29:47] tourists, and also share nature? I, I'm happy to
[00:29:50] share, I mean, all I ask is that it's just, that it's
[00:29:54] thought about that it's done in a respectful way, and a way that
[00:29:57] doesn't, I mean, doesn't cost, uh,
[00:30:01] both, uh. I mean, nature and and
[00:30:04] the well-being of us who have chosen to live here, and
[00:30:08] the consultation phase for Dråby ends on December 16th, and only
[00:30:12] after that will politicians decide on
[00:30:14] the project.
[00:30:18] And now to the American midterm elections tomorrow. Even though Donald Trump
[00:30:22] is not up for election, it is also a kind of exam for the president, when
[00:30:26] Americans have to decide who will have power in
[00:30:29] the two chambers of Congress, the Senate and the House of
[00:30:32] Representatives. But regardless of whether the votes fall to the Republicans
[00:30:36] or the Democrats, there are many Americans
[00:30:40] who do not trust the election in advance.
[00:30:43] Their interest is to make sure that they keep democrats in
[00:30:46] charge, that's their whole interest, their interest is not
[00:30:50] about the people. I am extremely
[00:30:54] afraid of what Trump may do on election
[00:30:57] day. He's been threatening to send.
