00:00:00ultimately influence the interest rate here at home. The interest rate announcement
00:00:03comes when the Central Bank, that is, the Federal Reserve, has
00:00:07concluded its two-day interest rate meeting.
00:00:09The Central Bank has maintained the interest rate five times in
00:00:13a row, but many economists now expect it to
00:00:16be raised because inflation continues to be
00:00:19high, and this can also contribute to pushing interest rates
00:00:22further up in Europe and
00:00:24here at home.
00:00:33We are currently on TVA Live with a news update. There are
00:00:37strong reactions both here at home and internationally after a Russian
00:00:41frigate Monday fired so-called flares, i.e.,
00:00:44signal flares, at one of the defense's helicopters in international
00:00:48waters off Gæsser. And in the Ministry of Defense, yes, they take
00:00:52the situation very seriously. But I think
00:00:55everyone views it with great seriousness, what happened yesterday
00:00:57afternoon, and uh. takes the situation seriously, but
00:01:01also with the signal that we
00:01:04naturally see what happened as unacceptable.
00:01:08And here, we see one of the defense's helicopters during a
00:01:11previous exercise, and it was precisely a helicopter of this type
00:01:15that the Russian frigate on Monday shot at with
00:01:18signal flares, as the helicopter according to the defense was in the process
00:01:21of routinely taking pictures of the frigate.
00:01:25One of the signal flares passed close by the helicopter, but neither
00:01:29the crew nor the helicopter was harmed, and the incident
00:01:33is just one among many Russian attacks and threats recently.
00:01:36This is emphasized by the EU's foreign policy chief.
00:01:40We have seen Russia's dangerous, reckless at full
00:01:44display past 48 hours. Russian
00:01:48naval explanation, and there is warship fired flares at Danish
00:01:50helicopter, NATO jets uh had to shoot down a
00:01:54drone over Lithuania, Russia
00:01:56struck passenger train near the border. uh
00:02:00with Ukraine and Poland pulled a drone from its
00:02:04waters, we need to be clear, um, those are
00:02:07not accidents, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs here at home has
00:02:11summoned the Russian ambassador to Denmark for a
00:02:14meeting, but according to the ambassador, it was the
00:02:17Danish military helicopter that provoked the frigate into shooting at
00:02:21the helicopter. The Danish side's attempt to explain the helicopter's
00:02:25provocative actions towards the Russian frigate as routine practice
00:02:29causes serious concern for the possible consequences of such
00:02:32recklessness, states Vladimir Barbin. What we do
00:02:36to monitor our own immediate area, and that is
00:02:39completely legal, and that does not give the Russians any
00:02:43reason whatsoever to start shooting at us, even if it's only with
00:02:47flares, so that is uh, one could say, and there was communication,
00:02:50that is a Russian
00:02:54naval explanation, and there is no precise description
00:02:58of where the incident occurred. But the message from the defense is that it took
00:03:01place in international waters off Gæsser, and it was
00:03:05these so-called flares, which we see examples of here, that were
00:03:09fired from the Russian frigate in the area, but this
00:03:12maritime pyrotechnic may only be used in emergency situations, if
00:03:16one needs help. We have the red, that is an
00:03:19emergency flare, and then we have the white and the green, the white and the
00:03:23green, they are called attention signals, and that
00:03:25can be brought under the whole umbrella, where in a word, you can call them flares.
00:03:29You shoot it off, then it flies a couple of hundred meters up in the air, and then there's
00:03:33a fireball that slowly goes towards the ground or towards the water, but they are
00:03:36only for emergencies, and they are only for sea use. The Folketing's
00:03:40defense spokesperson, they received a briefing on Tuesday at the Ministry of Defense
00:03:44about the helicopter incident, and afterwards, several politicians
00:03:48called the situation a clear Russian escalation, and that is something that
00:03:51creates insecurity, not least in Gæsser, where Russian
00:03:55naval vessels are often very close to. When we woke up at home
00:03:59and were having morning coffee. I was actually sitting and talking
00:04:02about how close it had actually come. The concern is growing along
00:04:05the Baltic Sea coast. Yes, what can, what will be next?
00:04:09The unrest feels closer. It is conflict-creating,
00:04:12uh, and completely unnecessary. Behind closed doors in
00:04:16the Ministry of Defense, the defense committee is briefed on the incident.
00:04:19The Russians, they are escalating, so we must handle this
00:04:23with the utmost seriousness we possibly can. And we do, and that is also
00:04:27why we react
00:04:29between NATO countries and Russia, because then we would be uh, to the incident that happened yesterday. But is the government's response enough?
00:04:32You talk about a strong reaction, there will also be a reaction. The Russian
00:04:36ambassador will be summoned. There is agreement
00:04:39not to activate NATO's Article 4, which would require
00:04:42NATO allies to meet and discuss whether political
00:04:46or military action should be taken. We believe we are not there yet, and it is also important for
00:04:49us to maintain calm and not escalate against the Russians. The government
00:04:53chooses the path of diplomacy. What has it ever changed that an ambassador
00:04:57at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been given a dressing down? You can't answer that, because you should then
00:05:01ask the question, what would have happened if an ambassador had never been summoned
00:05:04for a conversation? I mean, that is the tool we have, a choice that must avoid
00:05:08escalation. I don't think there is a need in any way
00:05:12to further escalate the level of conflict, therefore I also think it is the right approach
00:05:16the government has in this current case. The point is
00:05:20that we object diplomatically, as we do, we
00:05:23cooperate with our European colleagues, and
00:05:27most importantly of all, that we do not let ourselves be intimidated. Well, this is always a
00:05:30balance. We do not want a direct war between NATO countries and
00:05:33Russia, because then we would be in the midst of a third world war. So it is a
00:05:37balance that we constantly need to find and
00:05:40land. The right place, and back at
00:05:44the harbor in Gesser, for the idea of a conversation with the Russians
00:05:47not much favor, all things considered, there isn't much that works on the Russians, I think,
00:05:51so whether one does a lot or
00:05:54not so much, I don't think it changes much of the stance
00:05:58the Russians have on things, and
00:06:00the possibilities for a response from the Danish side are also limited, our
00:06:04defense correspondent explains.
00:06:07Right now, Denmark, as a democratic state that
00:06:10adheres to international
00:06:12rules of the game and conventions, has no other options than to summon
00:06:16the ambassador for a serious conversation, and then otherwise try to see if alliance
00:06:19partners can be brought on board for some other form of sanction,
00:06:23uh, and that is perhaps the imbalance that exists in the current situation,
00:06:27where Russia uses the rules of hybrid warfare,
00:06:30i.e., all sorts of dirty tricks that
00:06:34perhaps do not see the light of day, but which are also harder to
00:06:37explicitly hold them accountable for, and there are voices that argue,
00:06:41well, if you really want to make Russia stop this, then
00:06:45you have to retaliate in kind, then you have to
00:06:48also open up to the rules of hybrid warfare and start playing
00:06:52the dirty game, but that is a very, very big and
00:06:55heavy political decision that must be made at the very, very highest level
00:06:59among heads of state, among Denmark's
00:07:01alliance partners.
00:07:06Justice Minister Nikolai Warmen wants to put a stop to what is called
00:07:09"washing cases," meaning when the police bury real
00:07:13police cases without investigating them thoroughly, and therefore the minister
00:07:16will now implement all the national audit office's
00:07:19recommendations. For me as Minister of Justice, it is
00:07:22crucial that Danes can have confidence that their cases are
00:07:25handled correctly, that the otherwise skilled police we have in our
00:07:29country. The message comes after the police in May received
00:07:32sharp criticism from the state auditors and the National Audit Office for
00:07:36shelving several thousand police cases that should have been
00:07:39investigated, something that several both current
00:07:43and former officers had come forward and told us here at DR. And back in May, the
00:07:47state auditors said this: The National Audit Office has found almost
00:07:4914,000 cases that the police have shelved,
00:07:53i.e., closed, without real investigation, but
00:07:56where they have informed the aggrieved parties that an investigation
00:08:00had taken place.
00:08:03That kind of thing is poison for
00:08:06our trust in authorities. And now, the
00:08:09Minister of Justice says that he, among other things, will
00:08:13abolish the cases that were categorized as
00:08:16investigation cases, which according to critics, have been used to
00:08:20wash, i.e., shelve cases. Is it completely over
00:08:23with the police washing cases? This is
00:08:26a very, very clear message to our police that nothing
00:08:30should happen other than what is stipulated in the rules,
00:08:34that citizens must be able to trust that their cases are handled
00:08:37properly. Can I guarantee that there won't be a mistake?
00:08:40No, I cannot. But I can guarantee that we will do everything
00:08:44in our power to ensure that Danes can have
00:08:48confidence and security in the work the police
00:08:50do.
00:10:21violent videos, nude pictures, or are contacted by perpetrators on social
00:10:25media. A new survey from Save the Children and the Tryg Foundation shows that
00:10:28two out of three children and young people, aged 9 to 17,
00:10:32have within the last year been exposed to digital violations
00:10:36or other unpleasant experiences online. Most
00:10:39of the time it's on Snapchat, where random people add me, and sometimes I
00:10:43say yes to it to see if they are people I know, and then it just ends with them sending
00:10:47nude pictures and all sorts of things. I was contacted by some of my
00:10:50friends' friends, um, and then like that. they started
00:10:53writing a lot of unpleasant things, and young people experience both
00:10:57very serious legal violations such as grooming attempts from strange
00:11:01adults and rude comments and harassment from
00:11:05peers. Save the Children recommends that parents do not
00:11:08give their children a smartphone until they are 13 years old, but the
00:11:12biggest responsibility lies with the tech giants,
00:11:15it says. The tech giants must stop
00:11:17their addictive behavioral design, their
00:11:21retention mechanisms, they must stop with data. children
00:11:24under 18 years old, we need a real age verification, so we actually
00:11:27know how old the children are on
00:11:31the platforms, and the survey shows that the unpleasant
00:11:33experiences affect children and young people broadly, but also that
00:11:37the risk is greatest for those who feel lonely or are not thriving
00:11:41well, and the unpleasant content on social media, yes,
00:11:44it can have serious consequences for them.
00:11:48Is it pictures that have been shared, it can
00:11:52be in groups or in classes or other places? Then there is a fundamental
00:11:56loss of trust in those who surround the child in their daily lives, so those are
00:11:59some of the most significant effects it has. It changes children's
00:12:03and young people's ideas about their own worth, and what others are worth. It can
00:12:07challenge their ideas about what boundaries they have, and because something
00:12:11the survey shows that children increasingly consider
00:12:14some of this to be a condition of being online, we are actually also
00:12:18concerned about the gradual shifting of their boundaries,
00:12:21which is associated with it. And neither Snapchat, Roblox,
00:12:25nor TikTok wanted to give an interview about their responsibility.
00:12:29Meta refers to Instagram's new teenage profiles, where there are
00:12:32limits on who can contact you and what content you can
00:12:36see.
00:12:40And let's get an overview of what Wednesday has to offer. In
00:12:43Strasbourg, EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen will deliver her annual speech on
00:12:46the state of the Union.
00:12:49My pitch today is a pitch for
00:12:52unity, unity between.
00:12:56That's what von der Leyen said, among other things, when she gave her speech last
00:12:59year, and the annual State of the European Union
00:13:03speech is considered the most important
00:13:06EU speech of the year. In last year's speech, yes, the Commission President
00:13:09announced about 30 new
00:13:11EU initiatives.
00:13:14And then on Wednesday evening, the American central bank will issue an
00:13:18interest rate announcement that could ultimately influence the interest rate
00:13:22here at home. The interest rate announcement comes when the central
00:13:25bank, i.e., the Federal Reserve, has concluded its two-day
00:13:28interest rate meeting. The central bank has maintained
00:13:31the interest rate five times in a row, but many
00:13:34economists now expect it to be raised because
00:13:38inflation continues to be high, and that can also
00:13:41contribute to pushing interest rates further up in Europe and
00:13:44here at home.
00:13:48And here, we're going to take a look at the weather.
00:13:52After a night with localized heavy showers, there is still
00:13:56high intensity of rain over the easternmost part of the country around
00:13:59Bornholm, there is still a possibility of thunder and cloudbursts
00:14:03in that area as it passes Bornholm and then otherwise
00:14:07weakens, and then there is general clearing on the agenda, which means a little or
00:14:10some sun eventually, mostly dry weather, only a few showers
00:14:14during the morning. In the afternoon, it looks like more showers
00:14:17could flare up when the temperature rises, that could be in central and
00:14:21eastern Jutland at the very end of the afternoon, otherwise dry weather is on
00:14:25the agenda and then a bit more moderate temperatures than one
00:14:28experienced on Tuesday. The coming days continue to be
00:14:32quite changeable, there are fronts on the agenda, and then
00:14:35there is clearing with showers in between. The next frontal system arrives during
00:14:38Thursday, hence the slightly darker cloud here, then it clears up, and
00:14:42then there are only a few showers on the agenda on Friday before the next system then
00:14:46arrives during Saturday with clearing after that, so there is not
00:14:49really dry weather on the agenda, and then it becomes generally a lot windier at
00:14:53the very end.
00:15:03We are currently on TVA Live with a news update. There are
00:15:07strong reactions both here at home and internationally after a Russian
00:15:11frigate on Monday fired so-called flares, i.e.,
00:15:14signal flares, at one of the defense's helicopters in international
00:15:18waters off Gæsser. And in the Ministry of Defense, yes, they take
00:15:21the situation very seriously. and
00:15:25everyone views it with great seriousness, what happened yesterday afternoon,
00:15:28and uh, takes the situation seriously, but
00:15:31also with the signal that we
00:15:34naturally see what happened as unacceptable. and
00:15:38here we see one of the defense's helicopters during a previous
00:15:42exercise, and it was precisely a helicopter of this type that the
00:15:45Russian frigate on Monday shot at with signal flares, as
00:15:49the helicopter, according to the defense, was in the process of routinely
00:15:53taking pictures of the frigate. One of the signal flares passed
00:15:57close by the helicopter, but neither the crew nor the helicopter was
00:16:01harmed, and the incident is just one among many
00:16:05Russian attacks and threats recently. This is emphasized by the EU's
00:16:08foreign policy chief. We have seen Russia's dangerous,
00:16:12reckless at full display past
00:16:1548 hours. Russian warship fired
00:16:19flares at Danish helicopter. NATO
00:16:22jets had to shoot down a drone over
00:16:24Lithuania. Russia struck passenger train
00:16:28near the border with Ukraine and Poland
00:16:32pulled a drone from its waters. We need to be
00:16:35clear right, though.
00:16:39And the Ministry of Foreign Affairs here at home has summoned the Russian
00:16:42ambassador to Denmark for a meeting, but according to the ambassador,
00:16:46yes, it was the Danish military helicopter that
00:16:49provoked the frigate into shooting at the helicopter. The Danish side's
00:16:53attempt to explain the helicopter's provocative actions against the Russian
00:16:57frigate as routine practice causes serious
00:16:59concern for the possible consequences of such
00:17:03recklessness, states Vladimir
00:17:06Barbin. What we do to monitor our own
00:17:09immediate area, that is completely legal, and
00:17:13that gives the Russians no reason whatsoever to start
00:17:17shooting at us, even if it's only with flares, so that is
00:17:20an, an also there was communication, that is a Russian
00:17:25no precise description of where
00:17:28the incident occurred, but the message from the defense is that it took
00:17:31place in international waters off Gæsser, and it was
00:17:35these so-called flares, which we see examples of here, that were fired
00:17:39from the Russian frigate in the area, but this
00:17:42maritime pyrotechnic may only be used in emergency situations, if
00:17:46one needs help. We have the red, that is an
00:17:49emergency flare, and then we have the white and the green, the white and the
00:17:52green, they are called attention signals, and that
00:17:55can be brought under the whole umbrella, where you can in a word call them flares,
00:17:59you shoot it off, then it flies a couple of hundred meters up in the air, and then there's
00:18:02a fireball that slowly goes towards the ground or towards the water, but they are
00:18:06only for emergencies, and they are only for sea use. The Folketing's
00:18:10defense spokesperson, they received a briefing on Tuesday at the Ministry of Defense about
00:18:14the helicopter incident, and afterwards, several politicians
00:18:17called the situation a clear Russian escalation, and that is something that
00:18:21creates insecurity, not least in Gæsser, where Russian
00:18:25naval vessels are often very close by. When we woke up at home
00:18:29and were having morning coffee, we actually sat and talked
00:18:32about how close it had actually come. The concern is growing along
00:18:35the Baltic Sea coast. Yes, what can, what will be next?
00:18:39The unrest feels closer. It is conflict-creating,
00:18:42uh, and completely unnecessary. Behind closed doors in
00:18:46the Ministry of Defense, the political committee is briefed on the incident.
00:18:49The Russians, they are escalating, so we must handle this
00:18:53with the utmost seriousness we possibly can, and we do, and that is also why
00:18:57we react uh, to the incident that happened yesterday. But is the government's
00:19:01response enough? You speak of a strong reaction, there will also be a reaction.
00:19:04The Russian ambassador will be summoned. Yes, there is
00:19:08agreement not to activate NATO's Article 4, which would
00:19:12require NATO allies to meet and discuss whether political
00:19:15or military action should be taken. We believe we are not there yet, and it is also important
00:19:19for us to maintain calm and not escalate against the Russians.
00:19:22The government chooses the path of diplomacy. What has it ever changed that an
00:19:26ambassador has been given a dressing down at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?
00:19:30You cannot answer that, because you should then ask the question, what would have happened
00:19:34if an ambassador had never been summoned for a conversation. I mean, that is the tool
00:19:38we have, a choice that must avoid escalation, yes,
00:19:42I don't think there is a need in any way to
00:19:45further escalate the level of conflict, therefore I also think it is the right
00:19:48approach the government has in this current case. The point is
00:19:52that we object diplomatically, as we do, we cooperate with
00:19:56our European colleagues, and most importantly of
00:19:59all, that we do not let ourselves be intimidated. Well, this is always a balance, we
00:20:02do not want a direct war
00:20:06in the midst of a third world war, so it is a balance, uh, that we constantly
00:20:10need to find, uh, and land in the right place, and back at
00:20:14the harbor in Gæsser, the idea of a conversation with the Russians is not
00:20:17very popular, all things considered, there isn't much that affects the Russians, I think,
00:20:21so whether one does a lot or
00:20:24not so much, I don't think it changes much the attitude
00:20:28the Russians have towards things, and
00:20:30the possibilities for a response from the Danish side are also limited,
00:20:34our defense correspondent explains.
00:20:37Right now, Denmark, as a democratic state that
00:20:40adheres to international rules of the game and conventions, has not many
00:20:44other options than to summon the ambassador for a serious conversation,
00:20:48and then otherwise try to see if alliance partners can be brought on board for some other form
00:20:51of sanction, uh, and that is perhaps the imbalance that exists in
00:20:55the current situation, where Russia uses the
00:20:59rules of hybrid warfare, i.e.,
00:21:02all sorts of dirty tricks that perhaps do not see the light of day,
00:21:06but which are also harder to explicitly hold them accountable for,
00:21:09and there are voices that argue, well, if you really want to
00:21:13make Russia stop this, then you have to retaliate
00:21:16in kind, then you have to also open up. the rules of hybrid warfare
00:21:20and also start playing the dirty game, but that
00:21:24is a very, very big and heavy political decision that
00:21:27must be made at the very, very highest level among heads of state, among
00:21:31Denmark's
00:21:31alliance partners.
00:21:36Justice Minister Nikolai Warmen wants to put a stop to what is called
00:21:39"washing cases," meaning when the police bury real
00:21:42police cases without investigating them thoroughly, and therefore the minister
00:21:46will now implement all the National Audit Office's recommendations.
00:21:50For me as Minister of Justice, it is crucial that Danes can have
00:21:54confidence that their cases are handled correctly, that the
00:21:57otherwise skilled police we have in our country. The message comes
00:22:01after the police in May received sharp criticism from the state auditors
00:22:04and the National Audit Office for shelving several thousand
00:22:08police cases that should have been investigated, something that several
00:22:11both current and former officers had come forward and told us here at
00:22:15DR. And back in May, the state auditors said this:
00:22:17The National Audit Office has found almost 14,000 cases that
00:22:21the police have shelved, i.e., closed, without
00:22:25real investigation, but where they have informed the aggrieved parties
00:22:28that an investigation had taken
00:22:32place. That
00:22:34kind of thing is poison for our trust in
00:22:37authorities. And now, the Minister of Justice says
00:22:41that he, among other things, will abolish the cases that were
00:22:44categorized as investigation cases, which
00:22:48according to critics, have been used to wash, i.e., shelve
00:22:51cases. Is it completely over with the police
00:22:54washing cases? This is a very, very clear message to our
00:22:58police that nothing should happen other than what
00:23:02is stipulated in the rules, that citizens must be able to trust
00:23:06that their cases are handled properly. Can I guarantee that there won't be
00:23:09a mistake? No, I cannot. mistake? No, I can't, but I can
00:23:12guarantee that everything we have will be used to ensure
00:23:16that Danes can trust and feel safe with the work
00:23:20the police
00:23:20do.
00:24:51and young people are exposed to violent videos,
00:24:53nude images, or are contacted by abusers on social media.
00:24:57A new survey from Save the Children and Trygfonden shows that two out
00:25:01of three children and young people between nine and 17 years old have, within the
00:25:04past year, been exposed to digital abuse or other
00:25:08unpleasant experiences online. Most
00:25:11often, it's on Snapchat, where random people add me, and sometimes I say yes
00:25:15to it to see if it's someone I know, and then it just ends with them sending
00:25:18nude pictures and all sorts of things. 'I was contacted by some of my
00:25:21friends' friends, um, and then they started
00:25:25writing a lot of unpleasant things, and young people experience both
00:25:29very serious law violations such as grooming attempts from strange
00:25:33adults, and crude comments and harassment from
00:25:36peers. Save the Children recommends that parents do not
00:25:40give their children a smartphone until they are 13 years old, but the
00:25:43greatest responsibility lies with the tech giants, it
00:25:46says. The tech giants must stop their
00:25:50addictive behavioral design, their retention mechanisms, they must stop
00:25:54harvesting data from children under 18 years old, we must have a
00:25:57real age verification so that we actually know how old the children are
00:26:01on the platform. And the survey shows that unpleasant
00:26:05experiences affect children and young people broadly, but also
00:26:09that the risk is greatest for those who feel lonely or are not thriving
00:26:12well, and the unpleasant content on social media, yes,
00:26:16it can have serious consequences for them. If
00:26:20pictures have been shared, it can be in groups or in class chats
00:26:24or elsewhere, then there is a fundamental loss of trust in those who surround the child
00:26:27in their daily lives, so these are some of the most significant effects it
00:26:31has. It shifts children's and young people's ideas about their own
00:26:35worth, and the worth of others. It can challenge their ideas about what
00:26:39boundaries they have, and because some of what the survey shows is that
00:26:42children increasingly consider some of this to be a condition of being
00:26:46online, we are actually also concerned about the gradual
00:26:49shift in their boundaries that is associated with it. And
00:26:53neither Snapchat, Roblox nor TikTok will agree to an
00:26:57interview about their responsibility. Meta refers to Instagram's new
00:27:00teenage profiles, where there are limits on who can
00:27:04contact you and what content you can
00:27:06see,
00:27:10and let's get an overview of what Wednesday brings. In
00:27:13Strasbourg, EU Commission President Ursula von der
00:27:16Leyen delivers her annual speech on the state of the
00:27:18Union. My pitch today is a pitch for
00:27:22unity, unity between member
00:27:25states. That's what von der Leyen said, among other things, when she gave her speech
00:27:29last year, and the annual State of the European
00:27:32Union speech is described as the most important EU
00:27:36speech of the year. In last year's speech, the Commission President announced
00:27:39about 30 new
00:27:41EU initiatives.
00:27:44And then on Wednesday evening, the American central bank will issue a
00:27:48interest rate announcement that could end up influencing interest rates
00:27:51here at home. The interest rate announcement comes when the Central Bank, i.e.
00:27:55the Federal Reserve, has concluded its two-day
00:27:58interest rate meeting. The Central Bank has maintained
00:28:01the interest rate five times in a row, but many
00:28:04economists now expect it to be raised because inflation
00:28:08remains high, and this could also contribute to pushing
00:28:12interest rates further up in Europe and
00:28:14here at home,
00:28:18and here we need to take a look at the weather.
00:28:22After a night with at times heavy showers, there is still
00:28:25high intensity in the rain over the easternmost part of the country around
00:28:29Bornholm, there is still a possibility of thunder and... cloudbursts in
00:28:33that area, which will pass Bornholm and then otherwise
00:28:36weaken, then a general clearing is on the program, which means a little or some
00:28:40sun gradually, mostly dry weather, only a very few showers during
00:28:44the morning. In the afternoon, it looks like there may
00:28:47be a few more showers flaring up as the temperature rises, this could be in central and
00:28:51East Jutland at the very end of the afternoon, otherwise dry weather is on the
00:28:54program, and then slightly more subdued temperatures than what
00:28:58was experienced on Tuesday. The coming days will continue quite
00:29:02changeable, there are fronts on the program, and then there
00:29:05is clearing with showers in between, the next front system comes during
00:29:09Thursday, hence the slightly darker cloud here, then it clears up, and then there are only a few
00:29:13showers on the program Friday before the next system arrives during
00:29:16Saturday with clearing afterwards, so there is no really dry weather on the
00:29:20program, and then it will generally be somewhat more windy at
00:29:23the very end.
00:29:33We are currently live on TV with a news update. There are
00:29:37strong reactions both domestically and internationally after a
00:29:40Russian frigate on Monday fired so-called flares,
00:29:44i.e., signal flares, at one of the defense's helicopters in
00:29:47international waters off the coast of Greece. And in
00:29:50the Ministry of Defense, the situation is taken very
00:29:53seriously. But I think everyone views what happened yesterday
00:29:56afternoon with great seriousness, and, uh, takes
00:30:00the situation seriously, but also
00:30:03with the signal that we naturally see what happened as
00:30:06unacceptable, and here we see one of
00:30:09the defense's helicopters on a previous exercise, and it was
00:30:13precisely a helicopter of this type that the Russian frigate on Monday
00:30:17fired at with signal flares, as the helicopter,
00:30:20according to the defense, was routinely taking pictures of the frigate.
00:30:23One of the signal flares passed close by the helicopter, but neither
00:30:27the crew nor the helicopter were harmed, and... The incident
00:30:31is just one of many Russian attacks and threats recently.
00:30:34This underlines the EU's foreign policy chief.
00:30:38We have seen Russia's dangerous, reckless at full
00:30:42display, uh, past 48 hours. Russian
00:30:45warship fired flares at Danish
00:30:49helicopter. NATO jets, uh, had to shoot down a
00:30:52drone over Lithuania. Russia
00:30:54struck passenger train near the border.
00:30:58near the border.
