00:00:00go just north of you, so we won't get any of that, but more is waiting in the
00:00:03afternoon hours, it will move across the country, and especially when we get all the way into
00:00:07Tuesday evening, then there will actually start to appear showers that can give a lot of water,
00:00:11maybe 10-15 mm, those are the ones you see on the map here,
00:00:25good morning, so we are starting a news update from
00:00:28TV-Avisen, where this morning we
00:00:30especially focus on a Russian frigate firing at one of
00:00:34the air force's helicopters with so-called flares.
00:00:37Flares are pyrotechnics that are normally used as an
00:00:40attention signal at sea, but according to the defense,
00:00:43it was fired at one of their Fenik helicopters, and
00:00:47the incident happened yesterday in international waters in
00:00:50the Baltic Sea off Gesser. This is stated by
00:00:53the defense.
00:00:57These are archive recordings of one of the defense's Fenik helicopters on an
00:01:00exercise. The two flares were fired while
00:01:03the helicopter was routinely
00:01:06fired while the helicopter was taking pictures of the Russian frigate in international waters off
00:01:10Gesser. According to the defense, one flare passed close to
00:01:14the helicopter. And Defense Minister Jeppe Bro views
00:01:17the incident with great seriousness. He tells us this in an interview this
00:01:21morning. Well, we take it very seriously. I mean, it's serious when a
00:01:25Danish military helicopter is fired at in
00:01:28international waters that monitors a Russian
00:01:31frigate, and what is the degree of seriousness, is this a
00:01:34hybrid attack? No, you can call it a hybrid attack, I mean, flares, that is, pyrotechnics
00:01:38are fired at the helicopter, and that is of course
00:01:42serious, and first and foremost, it is important that nothing happened to the pilots and
00:01:46personnel on board, uh, and secondly, nothing happened to
00:01:48the helicopter, but of course it is serious, because they
00:01:51perform a task that we do all the time, namely keeping an eye on what is happening
00:01:55around Denmark, and and we will continue to do that,
00:01:59try. writes: what does such a helicopter do? Could it have provoked?
00:02:03Well, the helicopter takes pictures for example and and looks at what is happening with a
00:02:07warship that is close to Denmark. There is nothing unusual about that, that is the task
00:02:11the defense has, and that is the task the defense performs, and it will continue to perform
00:02:14it in the future. Uh, then I will not speculate on what, what caused
00:02:18the reaction from the Russian side, other than that it is at least a
00:02:21pattern that is new compared to what we have seen before, it is probably also an expression
00:02:25that the Russian willingness to take risks is increasing. Yes, what does that say about our
00:02:29relationship with Russia? Yes, I say it, it confirms to us that
00:02:32the Russians are active in relation to the West, and that they also push the boundaries in
00:02:36relation to the actions they take. Is this the
00:02:40worst attack that has been from Russia against Denmark?
00:02:43Well, I won't go in and categorize it, uh, we
00:02:46take it seriously, and that is also why we summon the Russian ambassador for
00:02:50a conversation. So there will be a conversation, what other consequences should
00:02:53this have? Well, it is clear that we, uh, would
00:02:57like to send a very clear signal to the Russians that 'we take this
00:03:01is actually very seriously, uh, at best, then it is also an expression of
00:03:04very poor unprofessional seamanship, because there are many ways to contact that helicopter
00:03:08if you wanted to, and uh, and
00:03:11then of course also that we will continue our work, that goes without saying, but is that
00:03:15enough to tell them we take this seriously, no, but we are not
00:03:19alone, I mean, we are, we are always closely coordinated, both with our
00:03:23neighboring countries and our allies, and we also see a
00:03:26pattern across Europe, where the Russians are pushing the boundaries,
00:03:29because'. they do, and it is
00:03:32boundaries of the activities they clear that we are following that very closely . What will you do then in
00:03:34NATO? Well, I will do nothing but what I am now
00:03:40what we must also do is telling you about doing, namely summoning the ambassador, making sure that we are closely coordinated, making sure that we
00:03:44continue the activities we do, and keeping an eye on the Russian activity that
00:03:47exists. But it is clear that we view it seriously when the Russians push
00:03:51the boundaries as they do here. And there are probably some who think it is
00:03:55strange that a Russian warship can just so completely legally be
00:03:59so close to Danish waters, is that just something we have to
00:04:02accept? Well, it is international waters, and that means they have,
00:04:05but very close to Denmark, but very close to Denmark, but still international waters, so they
00:04:09have a legitimate reason to be there, we have a legitimate uh reason to be
00:04:13there, and keep an eye on what they are doing, uh, and that, that has
00:04:16there, and keep an eye on what they happened many times before, what is new here is the reaction we see from
00:04:19the Russian side. When you heard that, what did you think then? Well, I first and
00:04:23foremost thought of the pilots and the personnel, I would like to say,
00:04:26uh, because that is after all the most important thing, that nothing happened to them.
00:04:30Uh, and then from there, how do we then deal with this
00:04:33incident. Yes, how dangerous has this really been? Well, potentially it is
00:04:37dangerous, because it can go very wrong if the helicopter is hit
00:04:41or if these flares fly into the helicopter, where, where, where there are
00:04:45people. And what will be the next step for
00:04:48you right now, you, you will have a lot of conversations, I understand, what, what is
00:04:52the next thing right now and here? Yes, but I will not roll out the action plan
00:04:56here, other than saying that we of course take this seriously, and uh, that we
00:04:59also will continue the work we
00:05:02to this situation, is have, and the work that the defense has to monitor Russian activity. Can you say anything about whether this
00:05:06Russian frigate has tried to communicate with you before
00:05:10this? To my knowledge, they have not.
00:05:13So this, this comes out of the blue and something that you have not been
00:05:17warned about? Yes, to my knowledge, there has not been a prior
00:05:20communication, and that is also why this, this is also deeply
00:05:24unprofessional, because there would have been many channels and opportunities to do
00:05:27that. Uh, and you also say this thing about it seeming
00:05:31to push the boundaries of Russian risk-taking.
00:05:33risikovillighed.
00:05:37What does that say to you? Well, it, it, it confirms the
00:05:40picture we see unfortunately, uh, across Europe, where we can see
00:05:44more Russian activity, also that the boundaries are being
00:05:47shifted for the actions that come from the Russian side, and we must of course take
00:05:51this very seriously, and we do, we do both here at home, my task as
00:05:55defense minister is to ensure that I can protect the kingdom and our
00:05:58territory, and of course very close cooperation with our allies,
00:06:02but what is the balance for you right now not to escalate
00:06:05anything, uh, but also to do more than just having
00:06:09some kind of conversation with a Russian ambassador and? But, but it's not
00:06:13just some kind of conversation, I mean, we take this very seriously, but we will also
00:06:16continue the activities, I would like to say, that the defense has in relation to monitoring
00:06:20the activity from the Russian side. Will these
00:06:23activities be intensified even more? Yes, we will at least continue it, it is relatively intensive
00:06:27already. Can you make us a little wiser on what that means, what do you do?
00:06:31Well, it is for example what happened yesterday, where there is a Russian frigate in international
00:06:34waters, but close to Danish waters, and then we simply have a
00:06:38military helicopter flying around taking pictures and monitoring the activity that
00:06:41is there. Uh, and we will continue to perform that task in the future as well.
00:06:44Where is the line for when Denmark will
00:06:47react harshly? Now there has been shooting at
00:06:51or, what should I say, at least pyrotechnics against a Danish helicopter? Well,
00:06:55I can't put that into a formula. We, we will of course react to
00:06:59this incident. We are in close contact also with our allies.
00:07:03And one last thing here regarding NATO, what
00:07:06will be the next step there, can you make us wiser on that? Well, not
00:07:09beyond what I have already said here, I mean that we. I will have a conversation with the
00:07:13Russian ambassador, we are continuously in contact with our
00:07:17allies and broadly look at all the incidents in
00:07:19Europe. And we have asked the Russian embassy in
00:07:23Denmark for a comment from Ambassador Vladimir
00:07:26Barbin, but we have not yet succeeded. We have also reached out to
00:07:29the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Prime Minister's Office to get a comment from the Prime Minister and
00:07:33out. The US Supreme Court rejects
00:07:37Trump's attempt to tighten rules for mail-in ballots. Trump
00:07:41signed a decree in the spring that, among other things, required
00:07:44ballots to only be sent to voters who were on special
00:07:48lists of mail-in voters in the individual states.
00:07:51At the same time, the president wanted the envelopes to be equipped with tracking,
00:07:55but this has now been rejected by the Supreme Court. The case is of great
00:07:58importance for the midterm elections in November, as almost a third
00:08:01of American voters vote by mail. This is reported by
00:08:05AP.
00:08:07A NATO fighter jet has shot down a drone in Lithuania's
00:08:10airspace. The country's president confirms this on X. It is still
00:08:14unclear where the drone comes from, but the president writes a quote "in
00:08:18light of Russia's escalating aggression against Ukraine, such
00:08:21readiness is of crucial importance for our
00:08:24region."
00:08:30Yes, the horror comedy Widows Bay wins best
00:08:33comedy series, and a total of 13 other awards at this year's Emmy, which was
00:08:36held last night. This is a record number, and therefore
00:08:40Widows Bay is now the most awarded. media series
00:08:43at a single
00:08:44Emmy show.
00:08:48Two out of three children and young people between 9 and 17 years old have within the last
00:08:52year been subjected to digital violations or other
00:08:55unpleasant experiences online here at home. This is shown by a new
00:08:59survey from Save the Children and Trygfonden, which maps
00:09:02the extent of 12 different forms of digital
00:09:05violations. Most of the time it's on Snapchat, where there are
00:09:09random people adding me, and sometimes I say yes to it to see if it's someone I
00:09:13know, and then it just ends up with them sending nude pictures and everything, there are also just a lot of people who
00:09:17have contacted me, and then there are also just videos of dead animals and
00:09:20car accidents and stuff. I was contacted by some of my
00:09:23friends' friends, um, and then they started writing a lot of
00:09:27unpleasant things and stuff, I didn't
00:09:31know them, so I didn't quite know what to do. The
00:09:34digital violations and unpleasant online experiences range from
00:09:38serious legal violations such as grooming attempts from adult strangers
00:09:41to harsh. comments and harassment from peers.
00:09:45Save the Children has previously conducted similar surveys, and here
00:09:48the number has risen massively, from 42% back in
00:09:512021, to now 66% this
00:09:55year. These experiences can have serious
00:09:57consequences. It changes children's and young people's ideas
00:10:01about what they themselves are worth, what others are worth. It can challenge their
00:10:04ideas about what boundaries they have, and because some of what the
00:10:07survey shows is that children to an increasing extent consider some
00:10:11of this as a condition of being online, we are actually also
00:10:15concerned about the gradual shift in their boundaries
00:10:18that is associated with it. So welcome to
00:10:21good morning, Secretary General of Save the Children, Johannes Bent Nielsen, it is
00:10:25you who are behind this analysis, and you are often out shouting a warning,
00:10:29but on the seriousness scale, how serious is this
00:10:32then? I think it's very, very serious that
00:10:36it's actually the majority of children and young people in Denmark
00:10:40between nine and 17 years old, who within the last year have had a very
00:10:43unpleasant experience online, and that is everything from
00:10:47adults reaching out and giving them something, for example sending
00:10:50intimate pictures, some people trying to blackmail them, some people talking
00:10:54really badly to them or they for example seeing uh a video of someone being
00:10:58killed or of animals being abused. I actually think
00:11:01that most adults, even though we know that it's
00:11:05hardcore what's happening in children's and teenagers'
00:11:09feeds, even though we know it, I still think we would be surprised,
00:11:12would be surprised if we knew how wild it actually gets,
00:11:16uh, and that absolutely calls for action from us
00:11:20adults, and us adults and that action, where should
00:11:24it come from? Is it politicians, is it
00:11:27providers, who is it? Well, there is absolutely
00:11:31nothing to suggest that tech giants themselves will
00:11:34take on this responsibility. On the contrary, they make money by having an
00:11:37behavioral design that steals children's and young people's time and attention,
00:11:41and also some content that is uh deeply
00:11:44unpleasant. Uh, they have had every opportunity to take responsibility, they have not
00:11:48done so, and therefore we of course need political
00:11:51regulation, uh, now there is a uh. law
00:11:55that you must be 15 years old to be on social media, that is a
00:11:59good first step, there is also a lot else that needs to be done,
00:12:03for example a ban on retention mechanisms, we also
00:12:06need a ban on harvesting data on children and
00:12:10young people under 18 years old, it is such that childhood today is
00:12:14extremely commercialized, because a lot of their time
00:12:17is actually spent being exposed to
00:12:20advertising, and then as parents we can of course
00:12:23also do more. than we do, some of what we at
00:12:26Save the Children know is effective, is if in the classes you make
00:12:30common agreements that here in this class, we adhere to the
00:12:33age limits on the different digital platforms and
00:12:36postpone the first smartphone until the child is 13 years old,
00:12:40which is both Save the Children's and the authorities' recommendation, so what I also
00:12:44heard and am saying is that what the government has agreed with Venstre and the
00:12:47Conservative People's Party, they have agreed that a national age limit of
00:12:5115 years should be introduced if you want to access social media, and that is expected to come into effect
00:12:55next summer, but in your opinion, that is not good
00:12:59enough, but it is also limited what politicians
00:13:02here at home can do. Yes, it is a
00:13:05very good first step, and some of what is important with this
00:13:09national legislation on an age limit of 15 years, is that with it
00:13:13in hand you can go to the EU, that is, use it as leverage, and
00:13:16and then work to get a real age verification on
00:13:20the platforms, and that is crucial in relation to ensuring that
00:13:23the content. on the platforms
00:13:26age-appropriate, I mean, you just have to say, it is very
00:13:29serious that it is the majority of children and young people
00:13:32who are actually exposed to deeply unpleasant things that would also
00:13:36affect adults, and we know that children are affected, I mean
00:13:40when they answer how it affects them, they say they have trouble
00:13:43sleeping, they get stomach aches, um, it is clear that those
00:13:47children who are exposed to illegal acts, such as grooming, such as
00:13:50blackmail, they are extremely affected, uh, and there is actually
00:13:54a child in every class who has been subjected to such a
00:13:57really gross and illegal uh
00:14:00violation online, and that simply means we must act, and
00:14:05to, what can you say, ensure that children are no longer alone at home on
00:14:09the internet, uh, and we do that both through legislation, we do that by
00:14:13we parents take on a greater responsibility, but we also do that by equipping our
00:14:16teachers very well to help children and young people with technology literacy and
00:14:20ensuring that it becomes a mandatory subject in school, so the words from
00:14:24Johannes Smith Nielsen, thank you for being
00:14:27with us. And it has not been possible for us to get Snapchat
00:14:31or Roblox to answer our questions, while TikTok
00:14:34has not been able to give an interview. Meta
00:14:37refers to Instagram's new team profiles, which set limits
00:14:41on who can contact them, and what content they can
00:14:44access. Minister for Digitisation Christina Elund
00:14:47writes to us that the survey confirms that tech giants
00:14:50are not taking their responsibility seriously. Therefore, I am also glad that
00:14:53we are now introducing an age limit for social media, so we can
00:14:57shield children from the completely horrific content that exists
00:15:01on many of the platforms. This alone does not solve the problem, but it is an
00:15:04important step forward. And
00:15:07good morning, so we need to look at the weather? Yes,
00:15:10good morning, and it is a really autumn day, at least for most
00:15:13people, but also a mild one.
00:15:16If we look at it, well, it is very grey out there for most
00:15:20people. It is only in Bornholm that you can still see a
00:15:24little bit of the sun this morning, and then I have added some
00:15:27fog symbols here, that is simply because in the late morning hours, early in the forenoon,
00:15:31there can be some haze and fog in the central part of
00:15:35Jutland, it can lie in a belt like this here, so you should be aware of that if
00:15:38you are going out the door, there can be some
00:15:41showers during the forenoon, but otherwise it will remain
00:15:45dry for most of the day, and then there will be a
00:15:49rain front coming in from the west during the late afternoon and
00:15:52evening hours, it will travel
00:15:55all the way across the country during the evening and night, and
00:15:59can locally give a lot of rain, on the other hand it will be a mild day with temperatures
00:16:02between 18 and 20
00:16:06degrees.
00:16:10A Russian frigate has fired at one of the air force's helicopters with
00:16:14Most are pyrotechnics that are
00:16:17normally used as an attention signal at
00:16:20sea. But according to the defense, it was fired at one of their Fenik
00:16:23helicopters. And the incident happened yesterday in international
00:16:27waters in the Baltic Sea, and it was off Gesser. This is stated by
00:16:30the defense in a
00:16:31press release.
00:16:37And this. that is archive footage of one of the defense's Fenik helicopters on an
00:16:40exercise. The two flares were
00:16:44routinely photographing the
00:16:47Russian frigate in international waters off
00:16:50Gesser. According to the defense, one flare passed close to
00:16:54the helicopter. And Defense Minister Jeppe Bro views
00:16:57the incident with great seriousness. He tells us this in an interview this
00:17:00morning. Well, we take it very seriously. I mean, it's serious when a
00:17:04Danish military helicopter is fired at, uh, in
00:17:07international waters, which monitors a Russian
00:17:10frigate. And what is the degree of seriousness, is this a
00:17:14hybrid attack? No, I don't know if you can call it a hybrid attack, I mean, flares, that is, pyrotechnics
00:17:18are fired at the helicopter, and that is of course
00:17:21serious, and first and foremost, it is important that nothing happened to the pilots and
00:17:25personnel on board, and secondly, nothing happened to
00:17:28the helicopter, but of course it is serious, because they
00:17:31perform a task that we do all the time, namely keeping an eye on what is happening
00:17:35around Denmark, and... We will continue to do that.
00:17:39Please describe what such a helicopter does? Could it have provoked? Well,
00:17:43the helicopter takes pictures for example, and and looks at what is happening with a
00:17:47warship that is close to Denmark. There is nothing unusual about that, that is the task
00:17:50the defense has, and that is the task the defense performs, and it will continue to perform
00:17:54it in the future. Uh, then I will not speculate on what, what caused
00:17:57the reaction from the Russian side, other than that it is at least a
00:18:01pattern that is new compared to what we have seen before, it is probably also an expression
00:18:04that the Russian willingness to take risks is increasing. Yes, what does that say about our
00:18:08relationship with Russia? Yes, it says it, it confirms that it is that
00:18:12the Russians are active in relation to the West, and that they also push the boundaries
00:18:16in relation to the actions they take. Is this the
00:18:19worst attack that has been from Russia against Denmark?
00:18:23Well, I won't go in and categorize it. We
00:18:26take it seriously, and that is also why we summon the Russian ambassador for
00:18:29a conversation. So there will be a conversation, what other consequences should
00:18:33this have? Well, it is clear that we, uh, would
00:18:37like. a very clear signal to the Russians that we take this very
00:18:40seriously, at best, it is also an expression of very
00:18:44poor unprofessional seamanship, because there are many ways to contact that helicopter
00:18:48if you wanted to, and uh and
00:18:51then of course also that we will continue our work, that goes without saying, but is that
00:18:55enough to tell them we take this seriously, no, but we are not
00:18:59alone, I mean, we are, we are always closely coordinated, both with our
00:19:03neighboring countries and our allies, and we also see a pattern across
00:19:06Europe. where the Russians are pushing the
00:19:10do, and it is clear that we are following that very closely. What will you do then
00:19:13in NATO? Well, I
00:19:16will do nothing but what I am now telling you about doing, namely summoning
00:19:20the ambassador, making sure that we are closely coordinated, making sure that we
00:19:23continue the activities we do and keep an eye on the Russian activity that
00:19:27is there, but it is clear that we view it seriously when the Russians push
00:19:31the boundaries, as they do here, and there are probably some who think it is
00:19:35strange that a Russian warship can just so completely legally be
00:19:38so close to Danish waters, is that just something we have to
00:19:42accept? Well, it is international waters, and that means they have,
00:19:45but very close to Denmark, but very close to Denmark, but still international waters, so they have
00:19:49a legitimate reason to be there, we have a legitimate uh reason to be
00:19:54are doing, uh, and that, that has happened many times before, what is new
00:19:57here is the reaction we see from the Russian side, when you heard that, what
00:20:01did you think then, well, I first and foremost thought of the pilots and
00:20:04the personnel, I would like to say, uh, because that is. also all the
00:20:07most important thing, that nothing has happened to them, uh, and then
00:20:11from there, how do we then deal with this incident. Yes, how dangerous
00:20:15has this really been? Well, potentially it is dangerous, because it can go very
00:20:18wrong if the helicopter is hit or if these flares fly into
00:20:22the helicopter, where, where, where there are
00:20:24people. And what will be the next step for
00:20:28you right now, you, you will have a lot of conversations, I understand, what, what is
00:20:31the next thing right now and here? Well, I will not roll out
00:20:35the action plan here, other than saying we of course take it. seriously, and uh,
00:20:39that we will also continue the work we have, and the work that the defense
00:20:42has to monitor Russian activity.
00:20:46And welcome, Mads Kors here, our defense correspondent.
00:20:50Mads, a Russian frigate has fired flares at a Danish
00:20:54helicopter. First and foremost, what are flares? What
00:20:58should we imagine has
00:20:59happened?
00:21:02Well, flares, that's a kind of emergency or
00:21:05signal flare, so it's simply something that can perhaps be
00:21:08compared to a Roman candle or some kind
00:21:12of fireworks
00:21:15device that some people might take to football matches, which can emit
00:21:18such a light. It's something you use at sea
00:21:22either to signal that you are in distress for
00:21:25lifeboats or to signal from larger vessels to
00:21:29each other, so this is a kind of, you could
00:21:32say, advanced professional
00:21:35fireworks designed for use at sea, but it's
00:21:39not common to do this, that it's an
00:21:42unusual incident we are seeing right
00:21:44now.
00:21:47Yes, it's a very unusual incident,
00:21:50so this is a step up the escalation ladder, it's such that
00:21:54especially Russian warships and the Danish units,
00:21:57which have the task of keeping an eye on them out in
00:22:01the waters, it's such that Denmark as a state really wants to have
00:22:04a physical look at all warships sailing through or
00:22:08close to Danish waters, it happens with the help of
00:22:11aircraft, with the help of ships or in this case
00:22:14helicopters, you simply go out and physically look at them, and you have
00:22:18previously observed that... that Russian warships
00:22:21have pointed in the direction of Danish units
00:22:24with live weapons, for example, one has experienced being targeted
00:22:28with targeting radar, i.e. such a military
00:22:32instrument, where you can hear on the other end, when you are "illuminated" by it,
00:22:36as it's called, so there have been examples of a form
00:22:39of confrontational behavior, but this is still with
00:22:42the firing of a form of firearm, i.e. not really
00:22:46a firearm, but a form of something that can shoot and fly through the air, i.e. a step
00:22:50up the escalation ladder, and one flare
00:22:53flew close past the helicopter, fortunately no one was
00:22:56hurt, could it have gone
00:22:58wrong?
00:23:02Yes, it's a risky situation, it's like, when the
00:23:05armed forces themselves practice with these signal flares or
00:23:09flares or whatever it is, I mean, there is a relatively large
00:23:12safety distance, especially when there are flying units in the air, simply because
00:23:16such a flare, which is essentially a fireball.
00:23:20uh that moves through the air at high speed, yes, it's something you very, very reluctantly
00:23:24see getting close to uh, whether it's helicopters and
00:23:27planes or drones, simply because it can risk going
00:23:31really, really wrong, so it's a risky, it's a risky
00:23:35situation this, and it's something that definitely attracts
00:23:38attention, we don't know how close or how far apart the units were
00:23:42from each other, we also don't know how close the one flare passed
00:23:46to the Danish helicopter, but we do know at least that it's close enough that it can...
00:23:50provoke a strong reaction from the Minister of Defense
00:23:53Jeppe Brus, as we hear here. Yes, and Mads, and for those who
00:23:57wake up and hear this news and think, oh no, what is happening
00:24:01now? The minister calls it serious, but
00:24:04is this an extra step on
00:24:07the escalation ladder, or the crisis with
00:24:10Russia?
00:24:14Yes, it is, I mean, it's at least a step up
00:24:17that escalation ladder, which has. taken place at
00:24:21sea, especially in or around Danish waters, where we have
00:24:24seen uh Russian naval units and
00:24:28units from the Danish defense, who have played a kind of cat
00:24:32and mouse game, i.e. Danish units, whose task is to
00:24:35monitor the Russians, and there have been examples
00:24:39of them having marked each other, especially from
00:24:42the Russian side, but this is a step up
00:24:45that ladder, because something has been
00:24:48fired that... could pose a potential
00:24:52risk, i.e. this flare, this fireball, which has
00:24:55passed close by the Danish helicopter. But we have not
00:24:59heard from the Russian embassy yet, we are trying to get a
00:25:02reaction, and get the Russian ambassador to speak, Vladimir
00:25:06Barbin. This took place in international waters, no one
00:25:10knows other than those who were there, what actually
00:25:13happened. What could have made the Russians react in this
00:25:17way? Is there anything that could have provoked them, such as uh.
00:25:20photo reconnaissance?
00:25:24There is no doubt that Russia uh probably
00:25:27has uh found it annoying to
00:25:30be photo-reconnoitered by the Danish helicopter, but
00:25:33but whatever the case, there are a number of channels
00:25:37through which one can express dissatisfaction, there are
00:25:40radio frequencies, which are essentially always open, and which everyone
00:25:43knows, which can be used to signal, hey, we would like to ask you to
00:25:47keep your distance or something, but what needs to be added, and this needs to be added
00:25:52that the Russian naval units are relatively
00:25:56very on edge, because many of them and their colleagues
00:26:00are in an uh in an open war. with Ukraine, where they
00:26:03have been very, very used to uh keeping a close eye on what is
00:26:07happening at sea, because the Ukrainian drone units have
00:26:10done a lot of damage to the Russian navy, so what has been
00:26:14seen also for a longer period, is simply that the
00:26:17Russian warships and crews have been very much on edge, they have been
00:26:21very attentive, they have actually been ready to defend
00:26:25themselves against a possible Ukrainian drone attack all
00:26:29the time, whether that is one of the explanations for the Russian
00:26:32warship in this situation being extra much on edge and
00:26:36behaving in what one might perhaps call aggressively here,
00:26:39I don't know, but it is certainly true that for a longer
00:26:43period one has been able to observe, when the Russian warships sail
00:26:47through, also waters that are far from the war zone
00:26:50around Ukraine, that they have simply been much more alert and much more
00:26:54ready to react to unforeseen incidents. What do you expect
00:26:57the aftermath to be?
00:27:00bliver?
00:27:03Now we hear that there will be what one could call a diplomatic
00:27:06aftermath, meaning the Russian ambassador will simply be called
00:27:09for a friendly conversation at the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs,
00:27:13and yes, then I actually think that everyday life at
00:27:16sea, meaning photo reconnaissance tasks, will continue as
00:27:20before, one will see Danish state
00:27:23authorities out physically looking at Russian ships, simply to see what
00:27:27they are, then it may well be that some procedures are built in, where one now
00:27:31keeps a little extra distance. at least outside flare or
00:27:34signal flare distance, but uh the task of
00:27:38physically keeping an eye on foreign state ships passing through or
00:27:42close to Danish waters, yes, that will continue as before.
00:27:45So said our defense correspondent Mads Korsager, thank you,
00:27:49Mads. Yes, as mentioned, we have asked the Russian
00:27:53embassy in Denmark for a comment from Ambassador Vladimir
00:27:56Barbin, it has not yet succeeded. We have also reached out to
00:27:59the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Prime Minister's Office to get a comment from the Prime Minister
00:28:03and the Minister of Foreign Affairs respectively, and a little later, I will speak with
00:28:06the leader of the Denmark Democrats, Inger
00:28:08Støjberg.
00:28:12Dangerous school routes have long been something that families with children have had
00:28:15to deal with. Now parents can add another
00:28:19concern to the list, namely the fear of wolves when children have to
00:28:22go to and from school. Precisely that concern will be addressed by the city council in
00:28:25Ringkøbing-Skjern municipality today. Our
00:28:28concern is clearly that our children do not
00:28:32come home, yes, Max
00:28:34Ågen and his family live in the countryside, outside Helle, a little north of
00:28:38Ringkøbing. Here there are several kilometers to the nearest
00:28:41bus stop for his daughter, and the way to school
00:28:44goes along fields and forest roads. It is an area
00:28:48where wolves are regularly seen. Therefore, he hopes that the municipality's
00:28:51politicians will help to make the way to school safer.
00:28:54But the idea that they have to cycle
00:28:58back and forth to and from school, uh,
00:29:01uh. both dark and light hours, that
00:29:05makes the situation unsafe.
00:29:08Ringkøbing-Skjern municipality is the country's geographically largest.
00:29:12Max Åhen and his family live 5 kilometers from the school, and if
00:29:15you want a school bus to pick you up at home in Ringkøbing-Skjern municipality, it has to be
00:29:19more than six kilometers. Therefore, the mayor does not think they can help
00:29:23the family either. I have great understanding for their
00:29:27frustration and their concern, but I think it's
00:29:30the same way you have to train your children. to go out in traffic, you also have to
00:29:33train your children to go out where there are wild animals, and in this
00:29:37case the wolf, of course, so we have informed them what to do if
00:29:41they encounter something, and that thing about standing and
00:29:44shouting and acting big, you simply can't
00:29:48do that as a 10 or 14-year-old, so it's about
00:29:51finding the nearest tree and climbing it, if you feel
00:29:54threatened. Experts estimate that all 10 wolf pairs in
00:29:58Denmark have had pups this year, so therefore the Denmark Democrats
00:30:01in Ringkøbing-Skjern want hunters to be able to regulate the population,
00:30:05otherwise the state must find a solution, the
00:30:07party believes. If this becomes a problem around, then
00:30:11it must also be from a national plan that some money comes out here,
00:30:15so that we can secure the school route with a bus.
00:30:19The Danish Agency for Green Conversion and Water Environment writes to us that
00:30:22as a starting point, one does not need to be afraid of being
00:30:26here.
00:30:30Now we need an overview of what the day otherwise brings.
00:30:33Danish Industry hosts today the DI summit
00:30:362026 focusing on AI as an engine for
00:30:40growth for Denmark and the EU. The summit
