00:00:00comes out of them, and then in the evening and night as it progresses, well, then some strong showers can
00:00:04arise, especially in the eastern part of the country, and over
00:00:07Bornholm, it also continues during the morning hours
00:00:10tomorrow, so all in all a rather gray day that stays dry
00:00:14until the evening, when these strong showers can come.
00:00:28Welcome to the latest news from TV. Representatives from
00:00:32all parliamentary parties have been briefed this morning at the
00:00:35Ministry of Defense with the Minister of Defense and
00:00:38the Chief of Defense, and this follows a Russian frigate firing two
00:00:42signal flares at one of the defense's helicopters.
00:00:46The incident happened in international waters off Gæsser
00:00:49yesterday afternoon, and the Minister of Defense said after the meeting that
00:00:52parliament and the government view the incident with great
00:00:56seriousness. You have had all the spokespersons of the parties in the
00:00:59agreement. For a briefing today, how has what happened last night
00:01:03been received? Well, I think everyone views it with great
00:01:06seriousness, what happened yesterday afternoon, and
00:01:09uh, takes the situation seriously, but
00:01:11also with the signal that we
00:01:14of course see what has happened as unacceptable.
00:01:18Normally, when something like this happens, the parties involved in an agreement
00:01:21unite, and that is also what you experience here, total
00:01:25support and a rejection, that it is of course
00:01:29completely unacceptable, yes, and not just for the parties in the
00:01:32defense agreement, but actually for the entire parliament, I would like to say. So what will
00:01:36happen now? We hear that the Russian ambassador is to go to the
00:01:40Ministry of Foreign Affairs, what is he to be told? Well, it is
00:01:43such that our Minister of Foreign Affairs has summoned the Russian ambassador, and this
00:01:47is of course with the clear message, uh, that what happened
00:01:51yesterday, that is completely unacceptable. I
00:01:55think the government is acting completely correctly in this matter, and
00:01:58that it just. proves that we must continue to
00:02:02rearm, it proves that we must stand together
00:02:06in Parliament, and there must not be a piece of paper to put down
00:02:09between the parliamentary parties, when
00:02:13it comes to our rejection of
00:02:16Russia, and we will intensify surveillance, we will
00:02:19not back down, that is an important signal, and it is also important to
00:02:22say that we are not activating articles four and five, uh, and there we in
00:02:26the Danish People's Party agree with the government not to do that, no article four, that's where you
00:02:30formally summon the member states to uh to a consultation, and why is
00:02:34that too much? we believe we are not there yet, and it is also important for us to
00:02:38maintain calm and not escalate towards the Russians, but that parallel
00:02:41to that we have informal talks with our
00:02:44NATO allies about both expressing getting them to
00:02:48express support, but also having a dialogue about what
00:02:51we do together, I think that is the right level. Prime Minister Mette
00:02:55Frederiksen has not yet given an interview, but says, among other things, in a
00:02:58written response about the incident: "It speaks for itself that it is very
00:03:02serious when a Russian frigate yesterday fired so-called flares
00:03:05at one of the defense's helicopters, but it is
00:03:08unfortunately not surprising, and Russia's ambassador Vladimir Babin
00:03:12has, as I said, been summoned to a meeting at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, a
00:03:15necessity, according to Lars Løkke
00:03:17Rasmussen. Well, I think the rhetoric is quite sharp,
00:03:21that is, now summoning ambassadors for talks, that
00:03:25is a tool, the diplomatic toolbox, and I agree
00:03:29that we have a situation with Russia where we often have to pick it up, but
00:03:32it doesn't change anything, that is the way uh one
00:03:35uh can indicate to another
00:03:38country how one views the matters, so that, that
00:03:42we do, and it will be in a sharp tone,
00:03:45uh, and then there is also a continuous close coordination among our
00:03:48allies, uh, I have noticed
00:03:51that this morning there was a debate about, well, do we involve them, of course we do,
00:03:55that is, there is a close communication,
00:03:58just as we, from the Danish side,
00:04:00solidarity, and that is intact, that is, all this follow the other situations that unfold,
00:04:03and that all paints a picture of a Russia that
00:04:07uh escalates, and that
00:04:10tests uh our
00:04:16serves the one purpose from the Russian side to try to get us to
00:04:20withdraw from our Ukraine support. Is
00:04:22Christine Kurtsen, political correspondent. What kind of signal is sent
00:04:26when the ambassador is summoned for a talk?
00:04:31"Well, it is to send a clear message to
00:04:34Russia that this is unacceptable, it is not
00:04:38one of the most violent tools in the diplomatic toolbox,
00:04:42but it is to send a clear message to
00:04:45the Russians, and how serious a situation is this for
00:04:48Denmark,
00:04:51that you can hear from the broad political consensus and
00:04:55support for the government, that it is something that both the government
00:04:58and parties outside the government take very,
00:05:02very seriously, it is both this situation, but it is also the
00:05:06general picture that Russia is currently constantly
00:05:09trying to provoke and poke NATO.
00:05:17Here we see one of the defense's Phoenix helicopters on a previous
00:05:20exercise. It was precisely a helicopter of this type
00:05:24that the Russian frigate shot at yesterday with
00:05:26signal flares. According to the defense, one
00:05:30signal flare passed close by the helicopter, this happened when
00:05:33the helicopter was routinely taking pictures of
00:05:36the Russian frigate in international waters off
00:05:39Gæsser, which is located on the southern tip of Falster. towards
00:05:43the Baltic Sea, and the situation fills
00:05:45the local area, we have talked a lot about what had
00:05:49happened, and then, like this morning, when we woke up
00:05:53at home and were having coffee, we actually sat and talked
00:05:57about how close it has actually come, I mean, it's not that anything has happened in here, but it
00:06:01happened right out there, so it's getting closer and closer, isn't
00:06:04it? So, but this is pure provocation, there's no doubt
00:06:08about it, it's, it's conflict-creating,
00:06:11and and... completely unnecessary, uh, so
00:06:15yeah, I don't really understand, uh, their
00:06:18intentions with it. According to a defense expert, this is
00:06:22an unusual situation, where signal
00:06:25flares are used like the Russians did. Normally, one would be somewhere
00:06:28where one has called on the radio and blinked at them with
00:06:32something with some light. Uh, that, that would
00:06:35be normal procedure. I cannot comment on this case, but it would be normal. So
00:06:38how dangerous has it been, I understand
00:06:41from the defense command that
00:06:45at least one flare passed very close to the helicopter, yes, you could say the probability of being hit by that flare is very
00:06:49low, but if you are hit, then the probability of damage is great, if it hits the
00:06:52engine, the engine can stall, and it explains itself what then
00:06:56happens, uh, now they have flown with the door open, because they were supposed to take pictures of a
00:06:59burning flare going into the cabin or
00:07:02cockpit, then it's completely wrong, yes, it's not
00:07:06unusual for a Russian frigate to sail close to Danish waters, our
00:07:09defense correspondent says, what is
00:07:12not normal is that the Russians mark themselves in the way they
00:07:16did towards the Danish helicopter. There
00:07:19are, uh, often, I would say, Russian warships, including
00:07:23frigates, in Danish waters, or close to Danish waters,
00:07:26they pass through, or else they keep an eye on the
00:07:30shadow fleet tankers that also pass through Danish waters, so
00:07:34they are present, and when they are, well, then the defense and the Danish
00:07:38state really want to physically go out and look at them, sometimes
00:07:41escort them. uh through Danish waters, but in any
00:07:44case, uh keep physical watch on, well, the
00:07:48radar images and the radar tracks we have, does it also match reality, so this
00:07:51here are two completely ordinary
00:07:55operations, which then coordinate. The unusual thing that happens here is
00:07:58that the Russian ship chooses to fire a
00:08:01signal flare at the Danish helicopter. That
00:08:05is relatively escalating and actually a dangerous situation,
00:08:08normally, this is a carefully choreographed dance. they have
00:08:12with each other, there are many opportunities for the Russian ship to tell the
00:08:16Danish helicopter, hey, keep your distance, they can do it with signal lights,
00:08:20they can just do it on the radio, here they choose to fire a signal flare,
00:08:23that is unusual and escalating, so how
00:08:27seriously should we take this incident that happened yesterday
00:08:30afternoon? this is another sign that
00:08:33some kind of escalation is taking place in many
00:08:36different ways, we saw it with
00:08:39the failed drone attack
00:08:42in Leipzig in Germany, we see it when Russian
00:08:46drone attacks move closer and closer to the uh
00:08:49Ukrainian-Polish border, and now we see it here, where something
00:08:53deviates from the normal pattern, uh, so it's
00:08:57an abnormality, you could say, but again, they are just another
00:09:00sign that there is some kind of escalation underway between Russia
00:09:04on the one hand and the Western NATO countries on the other, and Russia will now
00:09:08thoroughly investigate what happened, so it reads in a written response from the Russian
00:09:12embassy in Denmark. The embassy also writes that it is not
00:09:16the first time the Danish air force's helicopter has performed dangerous
00:09:20maneuvers close to Russian warships while they were at
00:09:23sea outside Denmark's territorial waters.
00:09:26Unfortunately, the Danish side has no interest and never has
00:09:29had it. In preventing the situation at sea from escalating
00:09:32or in implementing confidence-building
00:09:35measures, it says. And then it is
00:09:38of course a story that we follow all day, we do that on our different platforms.
00:09:42forms and we update as soon as there is
00:09:45news.
00:09:49In the Netherlands, railway operator Pro
00:09:52Rail suspects that sabotage is to blame for disruptions to train traffic in the middle of
00:09:56rush hour earlier today. Objects were found on the tracks,
00:10:00it says, and it is not immediately disclosed which objects are
00:10:03involved, or who is suspected of being behind
00:10:06the sabotage.
00:10:09A NATO fighter jet has shot down a drone in Lithuania's
00:10:12airspace, confirmed by the country's president on X. It is now
00:10:16unclear where the drone, of which we see fragments here,
00:10:19comes from, but Lithuania's president writes that, and I quote, in
00:10:23light of Russia's escalating
00:10:25aggression against Ukraine, such readiness is of crucial
00:10:28importance for our region.
00:10:32Two 16-year-old boys have been charged with the murder of a 25-year-old who died after a
00:10:36stabbing in Tilst on May 16th. This
00:10:39is announced by the prosecution at East Jutland Police. Already,
00:10:43four other young men are imprisoned in the case, and the two 16-year-olds
00:10:46will appear in court this morning in
00:10:49Aarhus. The US Supreme Court rejects Trump's
00:10:53attempt to tighten rules for mail-in ballots. Trump signed
00:10:57a decree in the spring which, among other things, required that ballots only
00:11:00be sent to voters who were on special lists of
00:11:03mail-in voters in the individual states.
00:11:07At the same time, the president wanted the envelopes to be equipped with
00:11:09tracking, but this has now been rejected by the Supreme Court. The case has
00:11:13great significance for the midterm elections in November, as almost a third
00:11:17of American voters vote by mail. This is reported by
00:11:20AP.
00:11:25Two out of three children and young people aged 9 to 17 have in the past year been
00:11:28exposed to digital violations or other
00:11:31unpleasant experiences online here at home. This is shown by a new
00:11:34survey from Save the Children and Trygfonden, which maps
00:11:38the extent of 12 different forms of digital
00:11:41violations. Most times it's on Snapchat, where there are such
00:11:45random people who add me, and sometimes I say yes to it to see if it's someone I
00:11:48know. And then it just ends with them sending nude pictures and all sorts of things. There are also just a lot
00:11:52of people who have contacted me and then it's also just videos like. dead animals and
00:11:56car accidents and stuff, I was contacted by some of my
00:11:59friends' friends, um, and then they started writing a
00:12:03lot of unpleasant things, and like, I didn't know
00:12:06them, so I didn't quite know what to do. The digital
00:12:09violations and unpleasant online experiences range from serious
00:12:13legal offenses like grooming attempts from adult strangers, to
00:12:17crude comments, harassment from peers. Save the Children has
00:12:21previously conducted similar surveys, and here the number has
00:12:23risen massively from. 42% back in 2021 to now
00:12:2766% this year, and the experiences can have serious
00:12:31consequences. It shifts children and young people's ideas about what
00:12:35they themselves are worth, and what others are worth. It can challenge their
00:12:38ideas about what boundaries they have, and because some of what
00:12:41the survey shows is that children to an increasing degree consider some
00:12:45of this to be a condition of being online, we are actually also
00:12:48concerned about the gradual shift in their boundaries
00:12:52that is associated with it. Save the Children
00:12:55recommends parents to ensure that their children do not get their first smartphone
00:12:59before they are 13 years old, but the biggest responsibility
00:13:02lies with the tech giants, it says. The
00:13:06tech giants must stop their addiction-creating
00:13:09behavioral design, their retention mechanisms, they must stop
00:13:12harvesting data from children under 18, we must have real
00:13:16age verification, so we actually know how old the children are
00:13:20on the platforms, fundamentally they must take
00:13:23responsibility for the content on their platforms, and they must ensure
00:13:27that they do not deliver dangerous products to
00:13:30children, and we would have liked to have talked to the tech giants, but it has not been possible
00:13:34for Snapchat or Roblox to answer our questions, while TikTok
00:13:38has not been available for an interview. Meta refers to
00:13:41Instagram's new team profiles, which set limits on who can
00:13:45contact them and what content they can access.
00:13:48Minister for Digitalization Kristina Ehlers has not been available for
00:13:52an interview, but writes to us that the survey confirms her belief
00:13:55that the tech giants are not taking their responsibility seriously, therefore I am also
00:13:59glad that we are now introducing an age limit for social
00:14:01media, so we can shield children from the absolutely horrific
00:14:05content that exists on many of the platforms. This alone does not
00:14:08solve the problem, but it is an important step
00:14:11forward. We're going to Aarhus, hi Cecilie, we're going to look at
00:14:14the weather. We are, and it's a gray
00:14:18affair out there, and later it will also be a bit wetter, because there's
00:14:22rain on the way, some showers can pop up here and there. Otherwise, it's
00:14:26cloudy in most places, maybe with some chance of holes in the cloud cover, especially
00:14:29in the southern part of the country. On the other hand, it's also mild out there,
00:14:33around 17 to 19 degrees in many places, again down here to the south,
00:14:37there are several places where it's just under or just over 20
00:14:41degrees, so if you go outside, it feels nice and mild.
00:14:44Towards the afternoon, well, then it starts to pull a rain front across the country
00:14:48from the west, it will pass all the way across the country, it can
00:14:52locally in some places be with quite heavy
00:14:56rain, and overnight, well, it continues
00:14:59eastward, and gives a lot of water to both Zealand and
00:15:03Bornholm, where it can also feel quite intense at times. It's
00:15:06a bit more, yes, unstable weather, it actually continues throughout the week, where
00:15:10there are still relatively mild temperatures.
00:15:22Deep in a forest, a remarkable group of Americans
00:15:25are ready for battle,
00:15:28they are socialists and communists, and fear Donald Trump and the
00:15:32MAGA movement.
00:15:35Trump's Moving Enemies Horizon.
00:15:38right now on DRTV and tonight at 21:25 on
00:15:41DR1, oh how wild that
00:15:45is, well it's incomprehensible, completely, we have traveled into this
00:15:49incredibly large country, is it like here that you should
00:15:53be, yes, is that it, not to have all of China
00:15:56explained, but to get a little closer, so you feel
00:15:59left out if you're not on tiktok and streaming,
00:16:02okay, and maybe to challenge a couple of prejudices that
00:16:06a Dane can... and thinks, our system is perfect, and it would just
00:16:10work, it could never work in China, because we know too
00:16:13little and perhaps fear too much. Anne and Anders
00:16:17in China,
00:16:19Sunday on DRTV and
00:17:33Welcome to the latest news from TV Avisen.
00:17:36Representatives from. All parliamentary parties have this
00:17:39morning been briefed at the Ministry of Defense with the
00:17:42Minister of Defense and the Chief of Defense, and this follows
00:17:45a Russian frigate firing two signal flares at one of
00:17:49the defense's helicopters. The incident happened in
00:17:52international waters off Gæsser yesterday afternoon, and
00:17:56the Minister of Defense said after the meeting that parliament and the government view
00:18:00the incident with great seriousness. You have
00:18:02had all the spokespersons of the parties in the agreement in for a briefing today. How
00:18:06has? what happened last night been received, well, I think
00:18:10everyone views it with great seriousness, what happened yesterday
00:18:13afternoon, and uh, takes the situation seriously, but
00:18:17also with the signal that we
00:18:19of course see what has happened as unacceptable.
00:18:23Normally, when something like this happens, the parties involved in an agreement
00:18:27unite, and that is also what you experience here, total
00:18:30support and a rejection, that this, this is of course
00:18:34completely unacceptable, yes, and not just for... the parties in
00:18:37the defense agreement, but actually for the entire parliament, I would like to say. So what will
00:18:41happen now? We hear that the Russian ambassador is to go to the
00:18:45Ministry of Foreign Affairs. What is he to be told? Well, it is
00:18:49such that our Minister of Foreign Affairs has summoned the Russian ambassador, and this
00:18:53is of course with the clear message, that what happened
00:18:56yesterday, that is completely unacceptable. I think the government is acting
00:19:00completely correctly in this matter, and that
00:19:04that it just proves that we continue. must
00:19:07rearm, it proves that we must stand together
00:19:11in Parliament, and there must not be a piece of paper to put down
00:19:14between the parliamentary parties, uh, when it comes
00:19:18to our rejection of Russia,
00:19:22and we will intensify surveillance, we will not back down, that is an
00:19:26important signal, and it is also important to say that we are not activating articles
00:19:294 and 5, and there we in the Danish People's Party agree with the government not
00:19:33to do that, no article 4, that's where you formally summon the
00:19:36member states to... to to a consultation, and why is that too
00:19:39much? we believe we are not there yet, and it is also important for us to
00:19:43maintain calm and not escalate towards the Russians, but that parallel
00:19:47to that, we have informal talks with our
00:19:49NATO allies, about both expressing getting them to
00:19:53express support, but also having a dialogue about what, what do
00:19:56we do together, I think that is the right level. Prime Minister Mette
00:20:00Frederiksen has not yet given an interview, but says, among other things, in a
00:20:03written response about the incident: It speaks for itself that it is very.
00:20:07serious when a Russian frigate yesterday fired so-called flares at one of
00:20:11the defense's helicopters, but it is unfortunately not
00:20:14surprising, and Russia's ambassador Vladimir Barbin has, as I said,
00:20:18been summoned to a meeting at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. A
00:20:20necessity, according to Lars Løkke
00:20:23Rasmussen. Well, I think the rhetoric is quite sharp.
00:20:27I mean, summoning ambassadors for talks is
00:20:30a tool, the diplomatic toolbox, and I agree
00:20:34that we have a situation with Russia where we often have to pick it up. But
00:20:38it doesn't change anything, that is the way one
00:20:41uh can indicate to another country how one
00:20:45views the matters, so that's what we do, and it will be
00:20:48in a sharp tone.
00:20:50Uh, and then there is also a continuous
00:20:53close coordination among our allies. Uh, I have noticed
00:20:56that this morning there was a debate about, well, do we involve them, of course we do,
00:21:00that is, there is a close communication,
00:21:04just as we, from the Danish side, follow the other
00:21:07situations that unfold, and that all paints a
00:21:10picture of a Russia that escalates, and that
00:21:14tests, uh, our, uh, our
00:21:18solidarity, uh, and that is. intact, that is, all this serves
00:21:22the one purpose from the Russian side to try to get us to withdraw from
00:21:25our Ukraine support. Yes, Christine Kurtsen, political
00:21:29correspondent. What kind of signal is sent when the ambassador is summoned
00:21:33for a talk?
00:21:36Well, it is to send a clear message to
00:21:40Russia that this is unacceptable. It is not
00:21:43one of the most violent tools in the diplomatic
00:21:47toolbox, but it is to send a clear message. to
00:21:50the Russians, and how serious a situation is this for
00:21:53Denmark?
00:21:57that you can hear from the broad political consensus and
00:22:00support for the government, that it is something that both the government
00:22:04and the parties outside the government take very, very
00:22:07seriously, it is both this situation, but it is also the
00:22:11general picture that Russia is currently constantly
00:22:14trying to provoke and poke the
00:22:17NATO countries.
00:22:22Here we see one of the defense's Phoenix helicopters on a previous
00:22:25exercise. It was precisely a helicopter of this type
00:22:29that the Russian frigate shot at yesterday with
00:22:32signal flares. According to the defense, one
00:22:35signal flare passed close by the helicopter. This happened when
00:22:38the helicopter was routinely taking pictures of the
00:22:41Russian frigate in international waters off
00:22:45Gæsser, which is located on the southern tip of Falster towards
00:22:48the Baltic Sea. The situation fills
00:22:51the local area, we have talked a lot about what
00:22:54had happened, uh, and then, like this morning, when we
00:22:58woke up at home and were having coffee,
00:23:00we actually sat and talked about how close it has actually come, I mean, it's not
00:23:04that anything has happened in here, but it happened right out there, so it's
00:23:08getting closer and closer, isn't it? So, but this is pure provocation,
00:23:12there's no doubt about it, it's, it's
00:23:14conflict-creating. uh and and completely unnecessarily
00:23:18uh. So, yes, I don't
00:23:22really understand their intentions with it.
00:23:25According to a defense expert, this is an unusual
00:23:28situation where signal flares are used, just like the Russians
00:23:32did. One would normally be in a situation where one had called
00:23:35on the radio and blinked at them with some light.
00:23:38That would be normal procedure. I can't comment on this
00:23:42case, but it would be normal. So, how dangerous has it
00:23:45been? I understand from the defense command that
00:23:49one of the flares at least passed very close to the helicopter. Yes, you could say
00:23:52the probability of being hit by that flare is very low, but if you are hit, the
00:23:55probability of injury is high, and if it goes into the engine, the engine can shut down, and
00:23:59that explains itself, what then happens. Uh, now they have flown with the door
00:24:03open because they had to take pictures of a burning flare in
00:24:06the cabin or cockpit, then it's completely
00:24:09wrong. Yes, there's nothing unusual about a Russian frigate
00:24:13sailing close to Danish waters, says our
00:24:15defense correspondent. What is not normal, however, is
00:24:19the Russians doing it in the way they did towards the Danish
00:24:22helicopter. There are often, I would
00:24:26say, Russian warships, also frigates, in Danish waters,
00:24:30or close to Danish waters. They pass through, or
00:24:33they keep an eye on the shadow fleet tanker that
00:24:37also passes through Danish waters. So they are present, and
00:24:40when they are, well, then the defense and the Danish state really
00:24:44want to physically go out and look at them, sometimes escort
00:24:47them through Danish waters, but at least... uh, keep a physical
00:24:51eye on, well, the radar images and the radar tracks we
00:24:54have, does it also match reality? So this is
00:24:57two completely everyday operations that then
00:25:01coordinate. The unusual thing that happens here is that the Russian
00:25:05ship chooses to fire a signal flare
00:25:08at the Danish helicopter. That is relatively escalating
00:25:12and actually a dangerous situation. Normally, this is a
00:25:16carefully choreographed dance you have with each other. There are many ways
00:25:20the Russian ship can tell the Danish helicopter: hey, keep your
00:25:23distance. They can do it with signal lights, they can even do it on the radio. Here they choose
00:25:27to fire a signal flare. That is unusual and
00:25:30escalating. So, how seriously should we take this
00:25:34incident that happened yesterday afternoon? This
00:25:37is yet another sign that some kind of
00:25:40escalation is taking place in many different ways. We saw it
00:25:43with the -
00:25:46unsuccessful drone attack in Leipzig, Germany. We see it when
00:25:50Russian drone attacks move closer and closer to the uh
00:25:54Ukrainian-Polish border, and now we see it here, where something
00:25:58deviates from the normal pattern, uh, so it is an
00:26:02abnormality, one could say, but again, they are just another sign
00:26:06that there is some form of escalation underway between Russia
00:26:10on the one hand, and the Western NATO countries on the other. And Russia will now
00:26:13thoroughly investigate what has happened, according to a written response from the Russian
00:26:17embassy in Denmark. The embassy also writes that it is not
00:26:21the first time the Danish air force's helicopter has performed dangerous
00:26:25maneuvers close to Russian warships while they were at
00:26:28sea outside Denmark's territorial waters. Unfortunately,
00:26:31the Danish side has no interest and never had
00:26:35it in preventing a situation at sea from escalating
00:26:38or in implementing confidence-building measures, it says.
00:26:42And then it is naturally a story that we follow all
00:26:45day, we do that on our various platforms, and we will update as
00:26:49soon as there is
00:26:50news.

00:27:32preparedness is of crucial importance for our

00:28:57many who have contacted me, and then it's also just videos of dead animals
00:29:01and car accidents and stuff. 'I was contacted by some of my
00:29:04friends' friends, uhm, and then they started
00:29:07writing a lot of unpleasant things, and like, I didn't
00:29:11know them, so I didn't really know what to do. The digital
00:29:15violations and unpleasant online experiences range from serious
00:29:18offenses such as grooming attempts from adult strangers, to
00:29:22crude comments and harassment from peers. Save the Children has
00:29:26previously conducted similar surveys, and here the number has
00:29:29risen massively from 42% back in 2021 to now
00:29:3266% this year, and the experiences can have serious
00:29:36consequences. It shifts children and young people's
00:29:39ideas about their self-worth, and what others are worth. It can challenge
00:29:43their ideas about what boundaries they have, and because some of what
00:29:46the survey shows is that children increasingly consider some
00:29:50of this a condition of being online, we are actually also
00:29:54concerned about the gradual shifting of their boundaries that
00:29:57is associated with it. Save the Children
00:30:00recommends parents ensure that their children do not
00:30:03get their first smartphone before they are 13 years old, but the biggest
00:30:07responsibility lies with the tech giants, it
00:30:09says. The tech giants must stop
00:30:13their addiction-creating behavioral design, their
00:30:16retention mechanisms, they must stop harvesting data from children
00:30:19under 18. We need real age verification so we
00:30:23actually know how old the children are on the platforms,
00:30:26uh, fundamentally they must take responsibility for the content that
00:30:30is on their platform, and they must ensure that they do not provide
00:30:34dangerous products to children, and we would have liked to have
00:30:37spoken with the tech giants, but it has not been possible for Snapchat or Roblox to answer
00:30:41our questions, while TikTok has not been available for
00:30:44an interview. Meta refers to Instagram's new
00:30:47team profiles, which set limits on who can
00:30:50contact them and what content they can access.
00:30:53Minister for Digitalization Kristina Ehlers has not been available for an
00:30:57interview, but writes to us that the survey confirms her belief that
00:31:00the tech giants are not taking their responsibility seriously. Therefore, I am also
00:31:04glad that we are now introducing an age.
