00:00:00uh, we will do, that is, we are used to being able to make agreements with
00:00:03each other uh in all sorts of different contexts, uh, we
00:00:07have spent a lot of time on this here, we have politically, and we have
00:00:10diplomatically, and may I also not in that connection say thank you, that is, say
00:00:14thank you to especially our very close cooperation with Nalaga
00:00:18Suissut, thanks to all the parties in the Folketing that have
00:00:22supported now two different Danish governments in a difficult
00:00:25situation, also thanks to Truels Lund, who was Minister of Defense when this
00:00:29- seriously broke out, that is, there are a lot of people who have a stake in this, and that is
00:00:33both in the visible work, and that is in the
00:00:36invisible work, that is, there are many hours that have been put
00:00:39into this, both by people you know well, including myself and other
00:00:43politicians, but also the many civil servants who have worked hard to get
00:00:48347 million kroner in this in place, are you looking forward to meeting Trump, we have had your conflicts,
00:00:51yes, that is, I have a, I have an excellent relationship with the American
00:00:54president, and and that is, in an unquiet
00:00:57world, I believe this agreement is good for our security
00:01:01um, both seen with European
00:01:03glasses, when one looks at it as a community of the realm, but also when one looks
00:01:07at it with NATO glasses and thus on both sides of the Atlantic.
00:01:11Will you physically meet with Donald Trump in New York here? Yes, I will, and
00:01:23the election for the Russian lower house, the Duma, will be decided today,
00:01:26however, without real opposition politicians.
00:01:29were forbidden to run, or they fled. This is the first
00:01:33election since the country's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, and last night, the war
00:01:37could be felt in Moscow and the surrounding area, which was targeted by attacks with several hundred
00:01:40drones. The drones attacked among other things, an oil refinery near
00:01:44Moscow. According to the city's mayor, this is an
00:01:48unprecedented attack. He states that over 1600 drones
00:01:51were shot down, of which 450 were fired towards
00:01:55the capital. Two have lost their lives and six more are
00:01:58injured. It is present in Russia for the first time in more than
00:02:02four years, our reporters must not move freely according to the Russian
00:02:06authorities, but there are no restrictions on whom DR
00:02:09can and may speak with. In Moscow, our reporter has therefore met
00:02:13some of the Russians who have shown up for today's
00:02:15election.
00:02:18I am standing here at a polling station in central Moscow. I am at a
00:02:22school where the clock has now passed 12, and that is the time
00:02:25when the opposition and activists, especially Russians living
00:02:29outside. Russia have encouraged people here to go and
00:02:32stand at the polling stations to thereby quietly express
00:02:36their dissatisfaction uh and show that there are still people
00:02:40here who are against this election who are against the president and
00:02:44the current policy and not least of course the war that is going on here
00:02:47for the fifth year now, but it is not because there are long
00:02:51queues here either inside or for that matter
00:02:54outside uh so if the protests are happening then it is certainly not
00:02:58here. I spoke a short while ago. with a lady who did not want to appear on
00:03:02camera, she actually did not really want to talk to me
00:03:04five years now, but it is because as she said, this is not a free country uh, and I am
00:03:07nervous about what will happen if I talk to you, uh, and that in itself
00:03:11is perhaps also indicative of how people feel about
00:03:15expressing themselves here, and there is a lot at stake for Putin, because even if the
00:03:19election result does not reflect it, the population can show its
00:03:23dissatisfaction with the regime, so says the assessment from Flemming
00:03:26Svidsbol, senior researcher at hostis, there is
00:03:29an opportunity for. people can in various ways express their dissatisfaction, they can stay
00:03:33generally uh on everything in home, or they can show up here, as we heard in the report at specific times and
00:03:36perhaps be reassured and confirmed that others think as they
00:03:40do, they can try to vote for some of the other parties than
00:03:44Putin's party, for example, so there are some small things they can do, so there is a lot at
00:03:47stake. And then we can say, if we are to look behind the
00:03:51election result, what is the most important sign to watch today
00:03:55to understand how Russia is doing
00:03:57right now,
00:03:59difficult with the election result, it will be decided in an office, somewhere in
00:04:03the Kremlin, how the votes will be distributed in the end, I will
00:04:06keep an eye on whether United Russia, Putin's party, performs
00:04:10even better than they usually do, or whether the government
00:04:14might think, people know that, it is not realistic, we will just lower it a bit, we will let them
00:04:17have a small setback, um, which parties get in can also
00:04:21be interesting, there is not much excitement about that either, but there might also be a
00:04:25little bit, but the entire election is overshadowed by Russia being
00:04:29under pressure, and that shows.
00:04:31and in recent times, Ukraine has carried out several drone attacks deep inside
00:04:35Russia, and last night, Moscow experienced, according to the mayor, a comprehensive
00:04:38drone attack. Can such attacks affect the mood around
00:04:42the election? Yes, it can definitely affect
00:04:46the mood around the election, and it can affect the mood in general, even
00:04:50state-controlled polling institutes, even state-controlled
00:04:53experts in Russia say that the mood is heavy, and they say that
00:04:57Russians are less concerned about what happens as it were. in Ukraine,
00:05:01the war in Ukraine, the consequences of the war for themselves, so that has also
00:05:04changed, and they feel pressure now, partly due to these violent scenes
00:05:08that we see on the screen. There has long been speculation that Putin will launch
00:05:12a new round of mobilization for the war in
00:05:14Ukraine after the election, is that likely?
00:05:18There are strong rumors about it, Russians also react to these rumors, Russian
00:05:22men are leaving Russia in quite large numbers, they primarily do so down
00:05:26by Georgia, where they can cross the border and then get to safety in
00:05:29Georgia, uh, and the rumors of mobilization are aimed at
00:05:32trying to create new momentum in the war, trying to send perhaps
00:05:36200, 300, 400,000 new soldiers to the front, and then from
00:05:40the Russian side hoping that it can deliver the breakthrough that has not been achieved now for
00:05:43a very long
00:05:44time.
00:05:48Lolland municipality faces massive savings, and now both
00:05:52citizens and an expert say that the austerity measure could cost several small
00:05:55island communities their lives. As part of the plan to close a hole of
00:06:00the municipal coffers. The municipality will among other things, save on
00:06:03ferry operations. This means far fewer departures to the islands
00:06:07Fejø, Askø and
00:06:17island life for the family, says Louisa Mia Poulsen, who commutes
00:06:20with two small children to Lolland.
00:06:24Well, for us it's really bad, because uh, we used to
00:06:27be able to take the ferry earlier in the morning, and the children could go to
00:06:31kindergarten and uh and
00:06:34nursery, so that they could play with other children, because there are no
00:06:38others here, and then we could come home with a ferry at two o'clock and...
00:06:42home at three o'clock, and that was okay, I think. The past
00:06:46year, besides Femø, the family has also had a house in
00:06:49Lolland. The adults used it while the children were in institutions, or
00:06:53if the ferry service was unstable, and the house may
00:06:56end up becoming their home instead of the country house here on Femø, if
00:07:00the number of daily crossings is reduced from seven to
00:07:03four. So now there is a prospect of the ferry sailing at
00:07:06five, so we are home at six in the evening, and we have to get up again
00:07:10next morning with a ferry at six.
00:07:13and that will be too, that will be too much hassle, and if it ends
00:07:16up like that, the family is considering moving away from
00:07:19Femø completely, it hurts, I get sad
00:07:22about it, because this is the dream, right, this
00:07:26is the most wonderful place in the whole world, that
00:07:30is Femø, and it is a big savings exercise that Lolland is undertaking,
00:07:34says Jens Vesterskov Andersen, who researches Danish
00:07:37small islands at Lund University. It is completely
00:07:41unprecedented. hitherto in the history of local government, that a
00:07:44municipal ferry service has been degraded to such a great
00:07:47extent, so I can only fear what the consequences will be for
00:07:50the island's settlement uh
00:07:53going forward. Lolland municipality expects to save
00:07:57somewhere between 8.5 and 10 million by sailing with
00:08:00two ferries instead of three, to the islands Fejø, Askø and
00:08:04Femø, and that money is needed to make ends meet in
00:08:07Lolland municipality, says Henrik Jacobsen, he is the conservative
00:08:11chairman for the climate, technology and
00:08:14environment committee. Well, then we can save
00:08:18something a a a shift. We can save some some
00:08:22staffing, and that provides a quite large saving
00:08:25for the municipality, considering that we have to
00:08:28save, generally, on
00:08:31everything in the municipality, ferries, schools,
00:08:35halls, elderly centers, and so on, and so on, and so
00:11:21weather, there are local showers all around.
00:11:25around the country, it will continue throughout the day, and some of the showers
00:11:28can be heavy, perhaps with thunder, and perhaps with
00:11:32hail. In between there will be room for the sun to peek through, but it will be
00:11:36mostly an overcast, rainy, and also
00:11:38windy day. We will have a fresh to strong wind across the country, especially along
00:11:42the northwest-facing coasts, it will be quite windy
00:11:46with up to gale force winds and strong
00:11:49gusts, which can reach stormy gale force, we have actually already registered that
00:11:52here in Northwest Jutland. During the day, this strongest
00:11:56wind field will gradually move down across the Kattegat and
00:12:00also eventually reach the Baltic Sea area, so
00:12:03a day with rain and bluster and also locally a little
00:12:06sunshine. It will also be a bit windy tomorrow, Monday, but otherwise
00:12:10mostly stable weather, dry and relatively sunny until a new
00:12:14front system with rain knocks on again on
00:12:17Wednesday.
00:12:29We are currently updating with the latest news. Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and Greenland's
00:12:33head of government Jens Frederik Nielsen are on their way to the USA, where
00:12:36Denmark, Greenland and the USA next week will sign an agreement on
00:12:40Greenland's future. We managed to speak with the Prime Minister before she
00:12:43boarded the plane to New York. Many
00:12:47months of work, and after many
00:12:50months of negotiations, we are approaching a good.
00:12:53agreement, an agreement that is good for Greenland, for
00:12:56the Kingdom of Denmark, an agreement that is good for the USA, an agreement that is good
00:13:00for Europe, and when it is, when it is good for all
00:13:03of us, who have been close allies for many, many years, then it is
00:13:07also good for NATO, and thus for our security
00:13:11as Europeans, and
00:13:14of course, especially in relation to the Arctic area,
00:13:17um, I understand well that there is great
00:13:21curiosity about the content of. the agreement, of course, this
00:13:24is something that concerns us all together, and it is also something that has concerned us all
00:13:28together, not least the Greenlandic population, but uh, in
00:13:32respect for the last few days, and everything must be in place as an agreement, so
00:13:36I will not be able to go into the concrete content,
00:13:39but I can say that what has of course been absolutely crucial for us
00:13:42in these negotiations, it has both been the desire to strengthen
00:13:46security in the very, very turbulent world we are in, and also that
00:13:50what we have called the red lines must be respected, that is, that we are a
00:13:54sovereign state, the Kingdom of Denmark, that the Greenlanders' right to
00:13:57self-determination must also be respected in the future,
00:14:01and what we call such territorial integrity, um, and that is, that is all something that
00:14:05is contained in this. Is Donald Trump exaggerating when he
00:14:08says that the USA will have permanent control over Greenland and
00:14:12security in Greenland and other American needs one might have in Greenland. I will
00:14:15not go into the substance of this now, and
00:14:19there are many speculations, and I understand well that there is a great
00:14:22interest, of course, in what the concrete content is, but I will not go into,
00:14:26so to speak, the concrete content until we have a signed agreement, they can
00:14:29describe Greenlanders who get stomach aches when they receive these messages from the
00:14:32American president, don't you owe, and don't you have a duty to go out and like give
00:14:36your explanation of this agreement? I understand
00:14:39well that people are interested in what this will
00:14:42specifically mean, and that applies of course
00:14:46particularly in Greenland, where one has been through a
00:14:49very, very difficult period, I will say quite
00:14:52generally, that I will not myself put my signature on an agreement,
00:14:55and I know that Jens Frederik Nielsen will not put his signature on an agreement, if it
00:14:59was not good for Greenland and for the Kingdom, have you
00:15:03received, have you received a guarantee that this agreement satisfies all
00:15:07American interests in Greenland, well, I will not
00:15:10go into the concrete content, and it is not, and it is certainly not because I do not acknowledge that
00:15:13you are asking the question, and I understand well that everyone, especially
00:15:17in Greenland, is very, of course, interested in what this
00:15:21agreement specifically says, but we will only have an agreement
00:15:25in a few days, that is, a final agreement in a few days, it is only then that I will say something about
00:15:28the content, President Trump, he says the agreement is really good for the USA, but what is
00:15:32Denmark giving up? well, the agreement is good. good for
00:15:36Greenland, the agreement is good for the Kingdom of Denmark, the agreement is also good for
00:15:40the USA, and it is good for our NATO alliance in an increasingly turbulent
00:15:43world, and it is good seen with European glasses, but I cannot, I cannot
00:15:47go into the concrete content yet. How sure are you that Trump will
00:15:51comply with the agreement after he has signed it? Well, I assume
00:15:55that everyone will do so, that is, we are used to being able to make
00:15:58agreements with each other uh
00:16:02in all sorts of different contexts. We have spent a lot
00:16:05of time on this, we have politically, and we have diplomatically, and may I
00:16:09also not in that connection say thank you, that is, say thank you
00:16:12to, especially our very close cooperation with Nalaga
00:16:16Suissut, thanks to all the parties in the Folketing that have
00:16:19supported now two different Danish governments in a difficult
00:16:23situation, also thanks to Troels Lund, who was Minister of Defense, when this really
00:16:27broke out, that is, there are a lot of people who have a stake in this, and that is
00:16:31both in the visible work, and that is in the invisible work, that is,
00:16:35many hours have been put in. into this, both by people you know
00:16:39well, including myself and other politicians, but also the many
00:16:43civil servants who have worked hard to get this in place, are you looking forward to meeting Trump, we have
00:16:47had your conflicts, yes, that is, I have a, I have an
00:16:50excellent relationship with the American president, and and
00:16:53that is, in an unquiet world, I believe this
00:16:57agreement is good for our security, uh, both seen with
00:17:00European glasses, when one looks at it as a
00:17:03community of the realm, but also when one looks at it with NATO glasses and thus on both
00:17:07sides of the Atlantic. Will you physically meet with Donald Trump in New York
00:17:20the election for the Russian lower house Duma will be decided today.
00:17:24It is the first election since the country's full-scale invasion of Ukraine,
00:17:27and last night the war could be felt in Moscow and the surrounding area, which was targeted by
00:17:31attacks with several hundred drones. The drones attacked
00:17:34among other things an oil refinery near Moscow. According to the city's
00:17:38mayor, this is an unprecedented attack. He
00:17:41reports that over 1600 drones were shot down, of which
00:17:45450 were fired towards the capital. Two have lost
00:17:48their lives and six more are injured. It is
00:17:52present in Russia for the first time in more than four years. Our reporters
00:17:56are not allowed to move freely from the Russian authorities, but there are no
00:17:59restrictions on whom DR can and may speak with. In
00:18:03Moscow, our reporter has therefore met some of the Russians who have shown up for
00:18:07today's election.
00:18:10I am standing here at a polling station in central Moscow. I am at a
00:18:14school where the clock has now passed 12, and that is the time when
00:18:17the opposition and activists, especially
00:18:20Russians living outside Russia, have urged people to go
00:18:24and stand at the polling stations, to thereby quietly express their
00:18:27dissatisfaction, and show that there are still people here who
00:18:30are against this election, who are against the president and
00:18:34the current policy and not least of course the
00:18:38war that has been going on here for
00:18:41not because there are long queues here either inside
00:18:45or for that matter outside, uh, so if the
00:18:48protests are happening, then it is certainly not here. I spoke a short while
00:18:51ago with a lady who did not want to appear on camera, she actually did not really want to talk to me
00:18:55like that, because as she said, this is not a free country, and
00:18:59I am nervous about what will happen if I talk to you, and that in
00:19:02itself is perhaps also indicative of how people feel about
00:19:06expressing themselves. here, and there is a lot at stake for
00:19:10Putin, because even if the election result does not reflect it, the population can
00:19:13show its dissatisfaction with the regime, according to Flemming
00:19:17Spidesbol, senior researcher at hostis. There is
00:19:21an opportunity for people to express their dissatisfaction in various ways, they can stay
00:19:24home, or they can show up here, as we heard in the report at specific times and perhaps
00:19:28be comforted and confirmed that others think as they do,
00:19:32they can try to vote for some of the other parties than Putin's
00:19:36party, for example, so there are some small things they can do, so there is a lot at
00:19:39stake. And then we can say, if we are to look behind
00:19:43the election result, what is the most important sign to watch today,
00:19:47to understand how Russia is doing
00:19:49right now, it is difficult with the election result, it will be
00:19:53decided in an office, somewhere in the Kremlin, how the votes will be
00:19:56distributed in the end, uh, I will keep an eye on whether
00:20:00United Russia, Putin's party, performs even better than they
00:20:04usually do, or whether the government might think, people know that. It's not
00:20:07realistic, we'll just dial it down a bit, we'll let them have a small setback,
00:20:11um, which parties get in can also be interesting, there's not much
00:20:15excitement about that either, but there might also be a little bit, but the entire election
00:20:19is overshadowed by Russia being pressured, and that shows public opinion
00:20:22too, and in recent times, Ukraine has carried out several drone attacks
00:20:26deep inside Russia, and last night Moscow experienced, according to the mayor, a
00:20:29comprehensive drone attack. Can such attacks affect the mood
00:20:33around the election?
00:20:36Yes, it can certainly uh. affect the mood around the election, and it can affect
00:20:40the mood in general, even state-controlled polling institutes, even
00:20:44state-controlled experts in Russia say that
00:20:47the mood is heavy, and they say that Russians are less concerned about
00:20:51what happens as it were in Ukraine, the war in Ukraine, than the consequences of the
00:20:54war for themselves, so that has also changed, and they feel pressure now,
00:20:58partly because of these violent scenes that we see on the screen. There has long
00:21:01been speculation that Putin will start a new
00:21:05round of mobilization for the war in Ukraine after the election. Is that
00:21:08likely? There are strong rumors about it, Russians
00:21:12also react to these rumors. Russian men are leaving Russia in quite large
00:21:15numbers. They do so primarily down by Georgia, where they can drive across
00:21:19the border. then they come to safety in Georgia uh, and the rumors about
00:21:23mobilization are aimed at trying to create new momentum in the war,
00:21:27trying to send perhaps 200, 300, 400,000 new soldiers
00:21:30to the front, and then from the Russian side hoping that it can deliver the breakthrough that
00:21:34has not been achieved now for a very long
00:21:36time.
00:21:40Lolland municipality faces massive savings, and now both
00:21:44citizens and an expert say that the austerity measure could cost several small
00:21:47island communities their lives. As part of the plan. to close a hole of
00:21:50347 million kroner in the municipal coffers, the municipality will among other things
00:21:54save on ferry operations, which means far fewer departures to
00:21:58the islands of Fejø, Askø and
00:22:09for the family, says Louise Mia Poulsen, who commutes with two small
00:22:13children to Lolland.
00:22:15Well, for us it's really bad, because uh, we were used to
00:22:19able to take the ferry earlier in the morning, and the children could go to
00:22:23kindergarten and uh and
00:22:26nursery, so that they could have other children to play
00:22:29with, because there are no others here, and then we could come
00:22:32home with a ferry at two and be home three o'clock, and that was okay,
00:22:36I think. The past year, the family, in addition to
00:22:39Femø, also had a house on Lolland, which the adults
00:22:43used, while the children were in daycare, or if the ferry service has been
00:22:46unstable, and the house may end up becoming their home instead.
00:22:50the country estate here on Femø, if the number of daily crossings is reduced
00:22:53from seven to four. So now it looks
00:22:56like the ferry will first sail at five, then we'll be home at six
00:23:00in the evening, and we have to get up again the next morning with a ferry at
00:23:03six, and that will be for it will be too
00:23:06troublesome. And if it ends up like that, the family is considering
00:23:10moving from Femø altogether.
00:23:12It hurts, I get sad about it, because
00:23:16this is the dream, isn't it? This is what it is.
00:23:20The most wonderful place in the whole world, that's Femø, and it's a big
00:23:23savings exercise that Lolland is in, says Jens Vesterskov
00:23:27Andersen, who researches Danish small islands at Lund
00:23:30University. It's completely
00:23:32unprecedented in the history of local government
00:23:36that a municipal ferry service has been degraded to
00:23:39such a large extent, so I can only
00:23:42fear what consequences it will have for the island's
00:23:45settlement in the future.
00:23:49Lolland municipality for. it saves somewhere between 8.5 and 10
00:23:52million by sailing with two ferries instead of three, to the islands
00:23:56Fejø, Askø and Femø, and those funds are needed for the parents
00:24:00to make ends meet in Lolland municipality, says Henrik Jacobsen, he is
00:24:03conservative chairman of the climate, technology and
00:24:06environment committee. Well, then we can save
00:24:10something, a a a shift, we can save
00:24:13some staffing, and that gives a a quite large
00:24:16saving for the municipality, seen in light of the fact that we have to.
00:24:20save uh
00:24:23the municipality, ferries,
00:24:26schools, halls, elderly centers and so on and so on and so
00:27:13the weather. There are localized showers around
00:27:16the country. This will continue throughout the day. And some of the showers
00:27:20can be heavy, perhaps with thunder and perhaps with
00:27:24hail. In between, there is room for the sun to peek through, but it will be
00:27:27mostly an overcast rainy and also
00:27:30windy day. We will get a fresh. to strong wind over land, especially
00:27:34the northwest facing coasts, there it will be quite windy
00:27:38with up to cooling and with strong
00:27:40gusts that can reach stormy cooling, we have actually already registered
00:27:44here in northwest Jutland. throughout the day, this strongest
00:27:48wind field will gradually move down over the Kattegat and
00:27:52also eventually reach the Baltic Sea area, so
00:27:54a day with rain and wind and also locally a little
00:27:58sunshine. It will also be a bit windy tomorrow Monday, but
00:28:01otherwise. stable weather, dry and relatively sunny until a
00:28:05new front system, with rain knocking on the door again on Wednesday.
00:28:21We are currently covering the latest news. Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and
00:28:24Greenlandic Head of Government Jens Frederik Nielsen are on their way to the USA, where
00:28:28Denmark, Greenland and the USA next week will sign an agreement on
00:28:31Greenland's future. We managed to speak with the Prime Minister before she
00:28:35boarded the plane to New York. It is many
00:28:39months of work, and after many months of
00:28:42negotiations, we are approaching
00:28:46a good agreement. An agreement that is good for Greenland,
00:28:50for the Kingdom of Denmark. An agreement that is good for the USA. An agreement that is good
00:28:54for Europe. And when it is, when it is good for all
00:28:57of us, who for many, many years have been close allies, then it is
00:29:01also good for NATO. and thus for our security
00:29:05as Europeans uh, and of course especially in
00:29:08relation to the Arctic area.
00:29:11Um, I understand very well that there is great
00:29:14curiosity about the content of the agreement,
00:29:17of course, this is something that concerns us all, and it is also
00:29:20something that has worried us all, of course, not least the Greenlandic
00:29:23population, but uh, in respect for the the
00:29:27such the last days, and everything must be in place as an agreement, so
00:29:31I will not be able to go into the specific content,
00:29:34but I can say that what has of course been absolutely crucial for us in
00:29:38these negotiations, that has both been the desire to strengthen security
00:29:42in the very, very turbulent world we are in, and also that what we
00:29:46have called the red lines must be respected, i.e., that we are a
00:29:49sovereign state, the Kingdom of Denmark, that the Greenlanders' right to
00:29:53self-determination also in the future must be respected,
00:29:57and what we call such territorial integrity,
00:30:00um, and that is, that is all something that... contained in this,
00:30:03does Donald Trump exaggerate when he says that the US will have permanent
00:30:07control of Greenland and security in Greenland and other American
00:30:10needs that might arise in Greenland. I will not go into
00:30:13the substance of this now, and I there are many conjectures, and I
00:30:17understand very well that there is great interest, of course, in the specific
00:30:21content, but I will not go into the, one might say, specific
00:30:24content, before we have a signed agreement, we can describe Greenlanders who get
00:30:28upset when they receive these messages from the American president, don't you owe it, and don't you have
00:30:31a duty to? go out and explain this agreement? I understand
00:30:34very well that people are
00:30:37concerned about what this will specifically mean, and that applies
00:30:40especially in Greenland,
00:30:43where one has been through a very, very difficult period. I
00:30:47will say quite generally that I myself will not sign an agreement, and
00:30:51I know that Jens Frederik Nielsen will not sign his signature.
