00:00:00So no need to worry according to the film editor. We have had
00:00:03Danish MI winners before, right now we have made our mark with film by winning an award
00:00:07in Venetic. Maybe we should just enjoy it and wait for Danish TV drama to also come to
00:00:11abroad in the future.
00:00:21Good evening and welcome to 21 TV news with a focus on Monday's
00:00:25Danish-Russian clash in the Baltic Sea. It is
00:00:28serious when there is firing at a Danish
00:00:31military helicopter. A Russian warship has fired
00:00:34flares at a Danish military helicopter in
00:00:37the Baltic Sea. The Defense has not released images from the incident, but two
00:00:40weeks ago, it looked like this when a helicopter flew close to another
00:00:44Russian ship in the North Sea. It
00:00:47is a Russia that provokes and escalates.
00:00:51This is something that must be taken very, very
00:00:54seriously.
00:01:01Yes, there have been strong Danish reactions to the incident with a Russian
00:01:04frigate firing two flares at a Danish
00:01:07military helicopter of the type Fenek, like the one we have here
00:01:11behind me. The Danish helicopter was unarmed and was, according to the defense, on
00:01:14a routine mission to take pictures of the Russian
00:01:17vessel. The Defense is extremely reluctant to
00:01:21provide information about the incident, but it took place on Monday in international
00:01:25waters here off Gesser on South Falster. Neither
00:01:29personnel nor material were damaged in the incident, but experts are not
00:01:32in doubt that it could have gone very
00:01:36wrong. These shoot a couple of hundred meters into
00:01:39the air, and then there's this fireball that falls to the ground. All ships,
00:01:43both civilian and military, have flares on board so they can
00:01:46call for help. It's a small firebomb you shoot off, so of course
00:01:52Danish waters, for example, or in it's dangerous, that's also why we don't just shoot them off for fun. We don't know what
00:01:54type of flare was fired from the Russian frigate. It
00:01:58was a helicopter of this type, called Fenik, that was out taking pictures of the
00:02:02Russian ship, it's what you call a light helicopter, it's
00:02:05essentially a civilian version, it's a civilian helicopter with military
00:02:09crew on board, the probability of being hit by a flare is very low, but if you are hit, the
00:02:13probability of damage is high and if it hits the engine, the engine can shut down, and
00:02:16that explains itself what then happens, now they have flown with the door open because they had to take
00:02:20pictures of a burning flare into the cabin or
00:02:24the cockpit, then it's really bad, in peacetime there is usually a very
00:02:27fixed procedure for how to warn her. When encountering a military
00:02:31vessel from the opposing party. Normally, it is, if as a military
00:02:35vessel you want others not to approach, you will call them on the radio and try
00:02:39to push them away that way.
00:02:41Um, and then you can perhaps also flash lights at them, there are several different
00:02:44communication methods to get them away , and
00:02:47then it escalates, you could say, the
00:02:50closer it gets. We don't know if there were other warnings
00:02:54from the Russian ship before it fired at the helicopter. Russia's ambassador
00:02:58in Denmark, in a written reply,
00:03:00blames the Danish helicopter, which he claims acted
00:03:03provocatively and flew too close. This video
00:03:07was recorded two weeks ago by a private citizen, Frank Olesen, on his way to
00:03:10Hirtals, and shows the Russian ship Akademik Nikolai
00:03:14Strakov and a helicopter that resembles a Danish military Fenek
00:03:18helicopter. The Defense will not confirm that this is what happened,
00:03:20but this is what it might look like when Russian
00:03:24ships are inspected by Danish helicopters. Well, there's no doubt
00:03:28that there's more tension now, I mean, there's no
00:03:31doubt that we're more on guard against each other, and therefore such signals are also extremely
00:03:35dangerous, how are our
00:03:38activities perceived by the enemy, so to speak, and it may well
00:03:41be that what we could do three, four, five years ago, we can't
00:03:45do anymore, because we are actually a bit
00:03:47between NATO countries and Russia, because then we are on guard against each other, both of us, and that's the
00:03:50dangerous thing, that such signals can be misunderstood, and suddenly
00:03:54it escalates. Yes, good evening, Mads Korse, our
00:03:58defense correspondent here at DR.
00:04:00How dangerous would you say it has been for the Danish helicopter, and not
00:04:04least the crew?
00:04:08Yes, there is no doubt that it has been a risky situation, as we hear
00:04:11in the report, it is simply a very bad combination with such
00:04:15a glowing fireball of
00:04:18magnesium, probably over 100 degrees hot, hitting such
00:04:22a helicopter, either inside the cabin, where personal injury can occur,
00:04:25or instrumental damage, but also some of the helicopter's
00:04:29other systems that make it so that it might
00:04:32crash, and that's also why it says almost on page one
00:04:35of any good seaman's handbook that if you are going to fire
00:04:39flares, well, you should as far as possible direct them
00:04:43away from those who can be harmed, that is, if there are
00:04:46units in the air. Now the Danish defense is very reluctant
00:04:50with information about what exactly happened,
00:04:54what kind of mission was the Danish
00:04:57helicopter on?
00:05:01"It has probably been a small piece of everyday life in the Danish defense, that is, it
00:05:05constantly happens that there are Russian naval ships close to or through
00:05:08Danish waters, and these are some that the Danish state
00:05:12really wants to keep an eye on, they simply go out physically, if not to escort them
00:05:16through, then at least to see that
00:05:19the radar image they have of the situation actually also corresponds
00:05:23to reality, so these tasks happen all the time, where they
00:05:27are either naval vessels, it can be vessels from
00:05:30the naval home guard or it can be air force helicopters or
00:05:34aircraft that are out physically checking what we have here,
00:05:38and taking pictures so you can see what new or
00:05:41known equipment is on board, and
00:05:44with well, apropos that, we hear in the report that perhaps we should be careful, or at least
00:05:48consider whether what we have been used to doing
00:05:51before is good to do now, where the climate is as it is,
00:05:54very, very tense in relation to what it has been for many
00:05:58years, uh, is there any psychological signaling also
00:06:02these meetings between Russian and Danish forces, that is, are
00:06:06the boundaries being tested both ways in these
00:06:08situations?
00:06:12No... I would say, on the contrary, these situations are a
00:06:15carefully choreographed dance, one might say, where both parties actually
00:06:19ensure that it happens as calmly and orderly as possible,
00:06:22uh, both sides know that the naval ship
00:06:26really wants to have good distance and peace to work. We also know
00:06:30from the Danish side that Russian naval ships actually have their finger
00:06:33a little bit on the trigger, because they have
00:06:36experienced being attacked by Ukraine, even far up
00:06:40close to St. Petersburg, so this usually goes very
00:06:43peacefully, calmly and orderly, and without unnecessary danger,
00:06:47and that is something that has probably been done with this specific vessel
00:06:51many times before, and that is why it stands out so much when it now
00:06:55suddenly comes to such a confrontational situation as this has
00:06:58been. The Folketing's defense spokesperson received
00:07:02a briefing earlier today in the Ministry of Defense about this
00:07:05helicopter incident, and afterwards several politicians called the situation a
00:07:09clear escalation from the Russian side, and the situation in the Baltic Sea
00:07:13creates insecurity, also in other places on Christiansborg, not least
00:07:16Vegasser, who often has Russian naval ships
00:07:19very close to him, when we woke up
00:07:22at home and had our morning coffee, we actually sat and talked
00:07:26about how close it has actually come, the concern is rising along
00:07:29the Baltic Sea coast, yes, what, what's next?
00:07:32The unrest feels closer, it is conflict-creating
00:07:36uh, and completely unnecessary. Behind closed doors in
00:07:39the Ministry of Defense, the defense committee is briefed.
00:07:43The Russians, they are escalating, so we must handle this
00:07:46with the utmost seriousness we can, and we do, uh, and that's also
00:07:50why we react uh to the incident yesterday, but is
00:07:54the government's answer enough? You talk about a harsh reaction, but there will also be a
00:07:57reaction, the Russian ambassador is being
00:08:00summoned. There is agreement not to activate NATO's
00:08:04Article 4, which would require NATO allies to meet and
00:08:07discuss whether political or military action should be taken. That, we
00:08:11believe we are not there yet. And it is also important for us to remain calm and not escalate
00:08:15against the Russians. The government chooses the path of diplomacy. What has
00:08:18it ever changed when an ambassador in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was given a
00:08:21dressing down?
00:08:24You can't answer that, because you would then have to ask the question: what would have happened
00:08:28if an ambassador had never been summoned for a conversation? I mean, that's the
00:08:31tool we have. A choice to avoid
00:08:34escalation. Yes, I don't think there is a need to
00:08:38escalate the conflict level
00:08:40further in any way, so I also think that is a very good approach the government has in this
00:08:44current case. The thing is, that we speak out diplomatically, as
00:08:48we do, we cooperate with our European
00:08:51colleagues, and most importantly, that we do not allow ourselves to be intimidated. Well,
00:08:54this is always a balance. We do not want a direct war
00:09:00engaged in World War III. So it is a balance that we constantly
00:09:04have to find, uh, and land in the right place. And back at
00:09:07Gæssa Harbor, the idea of a conversation with the Russians doesn't
00:09:11gain much traction. When it comes to it, there's not much that affects the Russians, I think,
00:09:15so whether one does a lot or
00:09:17not so much, I don't think it changes much about the
00:09:21Russians' attitude towards things.
00:09:24Yes, good evening, Defense Minister Jeppe Bros, you are the
00:09:27political head of the people who were in the helicopter.
00:09:31What words would you use to describe the experience they have
00:09:34had?
00:09:37Well, it's a serious incident, and first and foremost, I'm concerned that the
00:09:41people on board the helicopter were not harmed,
00:09:45but it's clear that when signal flares are fired
00:09:48from a frigate at a helicopter at quite
00:09:51close range from the
00:09:55could have developed into a very serious matter, and it is a serious
00:09:59matter that we are taking very seriously, and
00:10:02so far we have reacted in such a way that we have the Russian
00:10:05ambassador has been to a meeting, presumably a serious meeting with
00:10:09Foreign Minister Lars Lykke Rasmussen, but apart from that.
00:10:13What do we do then? Do we continue or increase our presence towards Russian
00:10:17ships, or do we back off a little to avoid
00:10:19confrontations?
00:10:22No, we will not back down, on the contrary. So we are in the process of
00:10:26both upgrading our own capabilities, and we are also
00:10:30getting better and better at monitoring what is happening, both in our own straits
00:10:34north and around Greenland, and that work
00:10:38we will continue tirelessly, both
00:10:41alone, as Denmark and as a kingdom, and in very, very close
00:10:44cooperation with our allies, because what the Russians are doing
00:10:47is trying to see if they can scare us, try to get us to
00:10:51back off, both in relation to their own activities and in relation to the help we give
00:10:55to Ukraine, and that will not happen. Now we heard
00:10:59earlier that
00:11:02perhaps we cannot continue to do the same as we have done ever since the Cold War
00:11:06ended, in relation to among other things Russian naval ships,
00:11:09because the climate is so tense now, and therefore
00:11:13there is greater risk associated with what we have otherwise been used to doing without
00:11:17risk. Is there anything we should do
00:11:20differently, concretely differently, with this
00:11:23Russian behavior we are seeing.
00:11:27No, but we must remember that this operation that was going on
00:11:30yesterday, as I also said in the report, is something that has been done
00:11:34many times. Uh, what was new yesterday, yes, was that
00:11:37they fired these flares, and they had
00:11:41many other opportunities to contact the helicopter if they thought it was too close,
00:11:44and therefore it is part of the pattern we see around
00:11:47Europe, where the Russians become more risk-averse and push
00:11:51boundaries, and it is clear, that should not make us back down, on the contrary. It should
00:11:55make us even more steadfast in being able to keep an eye on what the Russians
00:11:58are doing, and support the fight that the Ukrainians are fighting in
00:12:02Ukraine, which is also our fight for freedom, because it
00:12:05ultimately is also about limiting the Russians' opportunities for what
00:12:09they are doing, namely increasing pressure on us others. But can you
00:12:13tell us what we concretely in
00:12:17our own immediate area at least, we will do differently from
00:12:20now on based on this
00:12:22?
00:12:24Well, we will not do anything differently in the sense that we will continue to
00:12:28do what we are doing, namely increasing surveillance of Danish
00:12:32waters, Danish straits, what is happening north and
00:12:35around Greenland, that is, on September 1st,
00:12:39we opened a 24/7
00:12:41surveillance center, so we get a much better picture of what is happening
00:12:45north, and we will continue that
00:12:47effort.
00:12:49And finally, if this is not enough to activate,
00:12:53one might say, NATO's provisions on military
00:12:56retaliation, uh, if one feels violated or
00:12:59attacked, how much will it take before Denmark does
00:13:03that?
00:13:06No, but you can't just put it into a direct formula, I mean, it's a serious
00:13:09incident, but we're not at a point where we're calling NATO together or
00:13:13activating Article 5. We're following this very closely,
00:13:16also in very close cooperation with our allies, both the neighboring
00:13:19countries and within NATO, and we can see that this is
00:13:22part of a larger pattern that is happening in Europe, and it's clear, that's something that
00:13:26we collectively take very seriously, says the
00:13:30Minister of Defense, thank you very much for being with us
00:13:33here, and yesterday's firing of flares,
00:13:37that is, at the Danish military helicopter is just the latest example of
00:13:40Russia and the West on a collision course. This year alone,
00:13:43there have been a number of incidents that have worsened relations from Russia
00:13:47to the countries supporting Ukraine in the war against precisely
00:13:50Russia.
00:13:57It is not uncommon for Ukrainian trains to be hit by Russian
00:14:00drones, but when a train station near Poland's border
00:14:04was hit yesterday, it happened shortly after the former British
00:14:08Prime Minister Boris Johnson and a number of security advisors had left
00:14:12the area, and NATO's Secretary General was among others
00:14:15quick to conclude on
00:14:16the situation.
00:14:30In Russia, they did not agree with that interpretation.
00:14:45Far from the war in Ukraine in the English Channel, they have also
00:14:48noticed the Russian military, though on a smaller
00:14:51scale.
00:14:55changed course when in June this year, they spotted
00:14:58the Russian frigate Admiral Grigorovic, as we see
00:15:02archive footage, a minute or so later they gave another five blasts
00:15:06on their horn immediately followed by four to
00:15:09five smaller arms fire. This fits into
00:15:13a large catalog we now have of such
00:15:16border-testing Russian
00:15:20actions. Senior researcher at DIIS, Flemming Splidsboel, follows
00:15:24the hybrid war in Europe closely, the development we have seen is clearly
00:15:27on the rise, more is happening,
00:15:30there are more violent border-testing
00:15:34activities. The Russians are more willing to take risks. They are
00:15:38willing to go further. Among
00:15:41the more serious examples, according to Splidsboel, is the situation at Leipzig Airport
00:15:44earlier this year. Here, a German bomb squad
00:15:48had to respond in early August, when an explosive drone was found near a
00:15:52Ukrainian cargo plane used to transport military equipment,
00:15:56and the German government on September 1st designated Russia as the
00:16:00responsible actor. Something Russian President Putin denied the same
00:16:04day.
00:16:08all these examples we see, almost daily now, are an expression that the Russians are pushing,
00:16:12they are under heavy pressure in the war in Ukraine, they are trying to find a way out, and they do so by, among other things, putting pressure on the countries that support
00:16:16at finde en udvej, og det gør de blandt andet ved at lægge pres på de lande der støtter
00:16:20Ukraine to make us change our
00:16:22policy. After the helicopter incident off
00:16:26Gæsser, the EU foreign minister stated today that these are
00:16:29deliberate actions from the Russian
00:16:31side.
00:16:45and according to Splidspol, it is unlikely that the Russian
00:16:47crew felt threatened by the Danish helicopter, and if they
00:16:51really felt threatened, there are other ways they could also handle it,
00:16:55so to me it is more a signal to, in this case, the Danish
00:16:58defense, to stay away, and then you are back
00:17:01again Mads Kors here, our defense correspondent, the helicopter, which
00:17:05is unarmed, so... We can see, it's just the
00:17:09latest in a series of examples of hybrid attacks or whatever we should
00:17:12call it from the Russian side, how much in relation to Denmark, how much would you say it is
00:17:16an escalation when the Russians, as here, fire flares at an unarmed Danish
00:17:20helicopter?
00:17:23Yes, it can at least indicate that it is an escalation, now there
00:17:27is the possibility that we don't know if it was a nervous deckhand
00:17:31or a frigate captain, who simply hadn't had his
00:17:34afternoon coffee, but when you look at the normal
00:17:37picture, where Russian Baltic Sea units and the Danish
00:17:41defense have performed this dance, I would say, almost
00:17:44countless times, and then all of a sudden, yes, flares are
00:17:47fired, so it certainly indicates an
00:17:51escalation, so it is definitely a conscious escalation when there are
00:17:54two flares that are
00:17:57fired close in the direction of
00:18:00the helicopter, but really, we don't know, but it could indicate
00:18:03an escalation.
00:18:06Now the ambassador has been summoned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but what military options do we have
00:18:10to perhaps respond to these Russian
00:18:13provocations by giving something back?
00:18:15vej?
00:18:19Yes, right now, Denmark, as a democratic state,
00:18:22which adheres to international rules and conventions,
00:18:25does not have many other options than to summon the ambassador for a
00:18:29serious conversation, and then otherwise try to see if you can get the alliance partners to agree to
00:18:33some other form of sanction, uh,
00:18:35and that is perhaps the imbalance that exists in the current situation, where
00:18:39Russia uses the rules of hybrid warfare,
00:18:42that is, all sorts of dirty tricks, which
00:18:46perhaps do not see the light of day, but which are also harder to
00:18:49explicitly hold them accountable for, and there are voices that argue,
00:18:53well, if you really want to make Russia stop this, then
00:18:57you have to fight back in the same coin, then you also have to
00:19:01open up the rules of hybrid warfare and start playing
00:19:04the dirty game, but that is a very, very
00:19:08large and heavy political decision that must be made at the very highest level
00:19:11among the heads of state, among Denmark's
00:19:14alliance partners. Yes, and in that context, it would be interesting to
00:19:17hear your take on whether this is something we should simply expect to continue, and
00:19:21perhaps even escalate, because there is nothing to suggest that
00:19:25it will immediately stop
00:19:26for now.
00:19:29No, there are numerous examples of this, and
00:19:33if you look at the curve, well, it is a steadily rising curve.
00:19:37And when that curve turns one way or
00:19:41the other, it is impossible to say, but right now, it is certainly
00:19:44pointing upwards.
00:19:47And the helicopter incident here follows in the wake, that is, of the many times
00:19:51in history when Danish soldiers have stood face to face with
00:19:54the Russians, and not least with the former
00:19:57Soviet Union. One of the places where the parties stood
00:20:01face to face, often, was here at Stevnsfortet, where the
00:20:04employees continuously watched for possible forces from
00:20:08the east crossing the Baltic Sea.
00:20:12These windows here, these are where the cameras can look
00:20:15out. From the air and on
00:20:17land, from the bunker here, for many years, a very close eye
00:20:21was kept on the Russians. Here inside, we have
00:20:24almost five decades of Cold War history. With a view of
00:20:28the Baltic Sea, Stevnsfort was absolutely central during the Cold
00:20:31War. Now we are going 18 meters down into Stevns Klint, where
00:20:35all the installations, all the underground.
00:20:40Museum inspector Anders Knussen
00:20:43takes us back to a not so distant past. What they did here,
00:20:47was they could see the echo from the radar, which was on
00:20:51the surface, and then they would pick up the phone and call, because they couldn't
00:20:55see what it was. So they would call, for example, up to the observation post at Stevns Lighthouse and
00:20:58ask, what do you see out there at that position? They would then look out
00:21:02with binoculars and report back what kind of
00:21:05ship it was and what nationality it had, and that was plotted on this
00:21:09plot. There were often many Russians in the binoculars, that is, the
00:21:13reports I know of, they thought, oh, there's another one. Uh, let's keep a close
00:21:17eye on him and see if he follows the course
00:21:21we are used to, that, that was everyday life, that was work, this, right, it is
00:21:24relatively dramatic, because it happens continuously all the time,
00:21:28it suggests that they have had some quite close encounters with each other. For example,
00:21:32we have many reports of people crossing directly in front
00:21:35of each other, uh, when sailing close
00:21:38out here in the Baltic Sea, uh,
00:21:41stories about chasing each other's
00:21:45exercise torpedoes, that could be fired test torpedoes and
00:21:48other war material. Yesterday, a new chapter was written when a
00:21:52Russian frigate fired two flares at a Danish
00:21:55military helicopter. I think it is regrettable that we are in that
00:21:59way heading back to a situation
00:22:02that is starting to resemble something from a Cold War,
00:22:06where everything was at its most knotted. What can we use history for
00:22:09here? That's a difficult question, I think.
00:22:13Immediately, I would say that we should perhaps allow ourselves
00:22:17to remember that things can
00:22:20change and things can also change for the better, you could say that the Cold War ended
00:22:24peacefully after all and without many shots being
00:22:28fired. And you can read many more reactions to the incident
00:22:32with the helicopter in our live blog, and here we have also collected a
00:22:35number of examples where Russia has previously provoked
00:22:39Denmark. Find it all on DR.dk.
00:22:42Now, you're breathing for us, Thomas? I
00:22:46am, and it's building up to several heavy showers tonight.
00:22:48Yes, a cold front is moving in
00:22:52over Denmark, and on its front, there are several lines of
00:22:56showers, they are quite intense, including some that have just
00:23:00passed Odsherred, where there has been thunder in them, and there will be more intense
00:23:03showers, especially over the eastern southeastern part of the
00:23:07country. During the night, they will concentrate around Lolland,
00:23:10Falster, Møn, southern Zealand, and eventually
00:23:14Bornholm. It is relatively warm, humid air, as you have probably noticed today,
00:23:17are lifted and release these powerful cities, which in the
00:23:21morning hours will be located around Bornholm. So there is a
00:23:24risk of cloudbursts and thunderstorms in several places throughout the night.
00:23:28Tomorrow morning, however, it will clear up on the backside, meaning there will be room
00:23:31for a little or some sun. There are only a few showers
00:23:35left when it eventually clears here. This is probably primarily here in the
00:23:39central southern part of Jutland to begin with. Many will experience it
00:23:42as dry. Later in the afternoon, there will still be only a few scattered
00:23:46showers. The showers that may be there, well, they are probably relatively, relatively small,
00:23:50relatively quickly over, and then temperatures of
00:23:5413 to 18 degrees, which is the typical level, we are just a little lower than what
00:23:58we have experienced today.
00:24:01Wednesday, so clearing, and then a new front system is on its way in during
00:24:04Thursday, it's very changeable, new weather systems are coming in a steady
00:24:08stream from the west, so it's Thursday, the next front will clear
00:24:12up during Friday, and then there's another system during
00:24:15Saturday with clearing thereafter, so there's a constant
00:24:19rhythm with. less typical for the season, and then temperatures of
00:24:2217-18 degrees, and generally a bit more windy
00:24:26at the end of the period. Thank
00:24:28you for that, Thomas, now Horisonter takes us into one of USA's many
00:24:32armed groups, a left-wing organization preparing
00:24:36for battle against USA's right wing, deep in a
00:24:39forest in the state of West
00:24:41Virginia.
00:24:57No one can win the war, a continuation will only lead to the total
00:25:00destruction of both nations, that is the
00:25:03warning now from Zelinsky's right hand, but is it true
00:25:06or
00:25:10is the warning coming now because Russia, with new jet drones and
00:25:13ballistic missiles, is bombing Ukrainian cities both
00:25:17day and night. It is the war's day. Right now on
00:25:20DRTV. Texas, the Republican
00:25:24crown jewel, is right now about to become
00:25:27democratic. And if Trump loses that ruby red
00:25:30state, yes, then it could lead to a shock defeat in the midterm election. So now
00:25:34Trump promises 500 dollars to all voters if
00:25:38the Republicans win. But is it too late? And what is at stake for
00:25:41the party? It's Trump's USA, which you can find right now on
00:25:45DR TV. Are
00:25:47you ready to solve my riddle?
00:25:51We are in Narnia now, we go through the wardrobe, and then

00:26:20what a wild story, now on DRTV and tonight at
00:26:248 PM on DR1.
00:26:28Have you ever said to yourself, I am a success, no, I don't think I ever have, I knew you would
00:26:32say that. Can you cure low self-esteem

00:26:39I do that? Wrestling

00:26:45TV.
00:26:48This content about fitness and training and diet, it takes up a lot of space
00:26:51on social media. The body ideal that I want to
00:26:55have comes from social media. You want to be
00:26:58like them and fit into what you are constantly exposed to, but it also
00:27:02makes us think that if I eat the same way, I will look that
00:27:06way. The turning point was
00:27:10being close to death. A lot of the content is
00:27:13presented as health or self-care, and what it
00:27:17really is, is the exact opposite. The lie in your
00:27:20feed. It's a completely skewed plan, you will get sick from eating like this.
00:27:24Now on DRTV.
00:27:27It's just the atmosphere that makes Kapitalisten the coolest. It's kind of like everything I couldn't
00:27:31do before. It shakes a bit, I'm really giving it my

00:27:55control over us, not to have all of China explained, but to
00:27:59get a little closer, is it like here that you should be? Yes,
00:28:03is that it? Anne and Anders in China, Sunday on
00:28:06DRTV and DR1.
00:28:18Good evening and welcome to the 9 PM TV news with a focus on Monday's
00:28:21Danish-Russian clash in the Baltic Sea. It is
00:28:25serious when a Danish military helicopter
00:28:27is fired upon. A Russian warship has fired
00:28:31signal flares at a Danish. Military helicopter in the
00:28:33Baltic Sea, the defense has not released images from the incident, but two
00:28:37weeks ago, yes, it looked like this when a helicopter flew over another
00:28:41Russian ship in the North Sea. It
00:28:44is a Russia that provokes and escalates.
00:28:47This, this is something that must be taken very, very
00:28:50seriously.
00:28:57Yes, there have been strong Danish reactions to the incident involving a Russian
00:29:01frigate that fired two. signal flares at a Danish
00:29:03military helicopter of the Fenik type, one like the one we have here
00:29:07behind me. The Danish helicopter was unarmed and, according to the defense, was on
00:29:11a routine mission to take pictures of the Russian
00:29:14vessel. The defense is extremely reluctant to
00:29:18provide information about the incident, but it took place on Monday in international
00:29:21waters here off Gesser on Sydfalster. Neither
00:29:25persons nor material were damaged in the incident, but experts are in no doubt
00:29:29that it could have gone very wrong.
00:29:32These here, well, they shoot a couple of hundred meters up into the
00:29:35air, and then there's this fireball that falls to the ground. All ships,
00:29:39both civilian and military, have signal flares on board, so they
00:29:42can eventually call for help. It's a small incendiary bomb that you shoot off, so
00:29:46of course it's dangerous, that's also why we don't just shoot them off for fun. We don't know
00:29:50what type of signal flare was fired from the Russian
00:29:53frigate. It was a helicopter of this type, called
00:29:56Fenik, that was out to take pictures of the Russian ship. It's what you call a light
00:30:00helicopter, it's uh, a civilian version, basically, it's a civilian
00:30:04helicopter with military markings on it, the probability of being hit by a flare is
00:30:07very low, but if you are hit, then the probability of serious injury is high, and if it goes into
00:30:11the engine, then the engine can stop, and it explains itself what happens
00:30:14then, now they have flown with the door open, because they had to take pictures of a burning flare flying into
00:30:18the cabin or in the cockpit, then it's really bad. In
00:30:22peacetime, there is usually a very fixed procedure for how to warn
00:30:26each other when encountering a military vessel from the opposing side. Normally, if you,
00:30:30as a military vessel, want
00:30:33others not to approach, you would call them on the radio and try to push them away that
00:30:36way, um, and then you might
00:30:39also flash lights at them, there are several different ways to communicate to get them
00:30:42away, and then you escalate it, you could say, the
00:30:46closer it gets. We don't know if there were other
00:30:50warnings from the Russian ship before it fired at the helicopter.
00:30:53Russia's ambassador to Denmark, in a written response, blames the Danish
00:30:57helicopter, which he claims acted provocatively and flew
00:31:01too close. This video was recorded two weeks
00:31:04ago by a private individual.
