00:00:02day with rain and strong winds and then occasionally a little
00:00:06sunshine, it will also be a bit windy tomorrow Monday, but otherwise
00:00:09mostly stable weather, dry and relatively sunny until a
00:00:13new frontal system, with rain knocking again on Wednesday.
00:00:28We are live again with the latest news, the Danish
00:00:31Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, together with Greenland's
00:00:35Minister for Foreign Affairs and Greenland's Head of Government,
00:00:38now on their way to the USA, for Denmark, Greenland, USA in the
00:00:42coming week to sign an agreement on Greenland's
00:00:45future. We spoke briefly with the Prime Minister before she set course
00:00:49for New York. I understand that people
00:00:52are concerned about what this will specifically mean, and that applies
00:00:56of course especially in Greenland, where...
00:01:00you have been through a very, very difficult period. I would say generally,
00:01:03I would not myself put my signature on an agreement, and I know that Jan
00:01:07Frederik Nielsen would not put his signature on an agreement if it was not good for Greenland
00:01:11and for the Kingdom. The content of the new agreement has not yet
00:01:15been published, but the parties have apparently agreed
00:01:19on, among other things, Greenland's right to self-determination, and that the USA
00:01:23will increase its military presence in Greenland.
00:01:25The agreement is scheduled to be signed at a ceremony in connection
00:01:29with the UN General Assembly in New York next week, an
00:01:33agreement that is good for Greenland, for the Kingdom of Denmark, an
00:01:36agreement that is good for the USA, an agreement that is good for Europe, and
00:01:40when it is, when it is good for all of us who
00:01:44have been close allies for many, many years, then it is also good for NATO
00:01:47and thus for our security as
00:01:51Europeans, and of course especially in relation to the
00:01:54Arctic region, um, I understand
00:01:58that there is a great deal of curiosity about the content of
00:02:02the agreement, of course, this is something that concerns all of us, and it
00:02:06is also something that has concerned all of us, of course not least the Greenlandic
00:02:09population, but uh, in respect for the last
00:02:13few days, and everything must be in place as an agreement, so
00:02:16I will not be able to go into the specific content,
00:02:20but I can say that what has of course been absolutely crucial for us
00:02:24in these negotiations, it has both been the desire to strengthen security
00:02:27in the very, very turbulent world we are in,
00:02:30and also that what we have called the red lines must be respected,
00:02:33that is, that we are a sovereign state, the Kingdom of Denmark, that
00:02:37the Greenlanders' right to self-determination must also be respected in the
00:02:40future, and what we call
00:02:43territorial integrity, um, and that is, that is all
00:02:47contained in this here.
00:02:50Greenland's head of government Jens Frederik Nielsen, who is currently on
00:02:54his way to New York, writes on Facebook: On
00:02:57my way across the Atlantic, I think of all of you who are
00:03:00at home, of the families, the children, the young and the elderly, of all those
00:03:04who have followed along and been worried about what the future would bring. I hope
00:03:08that we can now get more peace around our country, he
00:03:11writes. And before an agreement is signed, it
00:03:15will be sparse with information about what is
00:03:19in the agreement, according to the editor-in-chief of
00:03:21kongressen.com. It is at least not without reason that the Danish
00:03:25government leadership has chosen a line that communicatively
00:03:28says, don't comment on anything about the agreement before it is signed,
00:03:32because it is clear that it is fragile, and you never quite know with Trump, but everything indicates
00:03:36that this will hold, um, but it is clear, so there
00:03:40was also something at first, where one perhaps began to breathe a little calmer, when some of the
00:03:44conservative media interpreted it as a victory, and and that is
00:03:47also why one must expect that it will go home as planned with
00:03:51the signing here on Tuesday. This is
00:03:54your USA podcast Stars and Stripes delves deeper into the new
00:03:57agreement and what it can mean. Find the special
00:04:00episode in DR Audio or watch the program on DRTV right
00:04:04now.
00:04:07Now we go to Germany, where two big state elections can be a
00:04:10barometer for both the country's and Chancellor Merkel's
00:04:13future. For voters seem to be fleeing from his party CDU, while
00:04:17the far-right party Alternative for Germany
00:04:20is storming ahead. In the capital Berlin. Yes, the chancellor's party
00:04:24is facing a voter loss, and it could be even worse in the
00:04:27state of Mecklenburg.
00:04:32For the cup here, political change is brewing. The whole
00:04:36economic situation in Germany has
00:04:39actually gone very downhill, and now something has to happen.
00:04:42Anja Hünemörder Pritzner has always voted for the
00:04:46conservative CDU, but now she will vote for the far-right party
00:04:49AFD in today's state election in Mecklenburg
00:04:52Western Pomerania. I am extremely disappointed with the
00:04:55Chancellor, because I actually had hope
00:04:59when... Mr. of the economy and actually thought much
00:05:02more that he would really get into the economy.
00:05:05Two
00:05:07weeks ago, Alternative for Germany, AFD, became the largest
00:05:11party in Saxony. "We made history,
00:05:14we are taking back our
00:05:18country, it starts here in
00:05:20Saxony-Anhalt. The CDU, conversely, was
00:05:23halved, Chancellor Fredrik Smerz called the result the worst
00:05:27defeat for the party in years. We are
00:05:30all deeply shocked, we did not
00:05:33expect it in this form.
00:05:37Now the chancellor and CDU are facing an exam
00:05:40again, in addition to Mecklenburg."
00:06:12Many Germans are deeply dissatisfied and thus ready to
00:06:15give AFD a chance. How have the CDU and other parties
00:06:19tried to talk voters away from AFD in this
00:06:22election campaign?
00:06:25It has been done by telling them that what AFD promises, they will never
00:06:29be able to deliver, that the economic policy that AFD stands
00:06:32for, is deeply irresponsible, it may well be that it is not going very well economically, the other
00:06:36parties that are in power admit that it is not, but they say it will be even worse if
00:06:40AFD comes to power. They have never tried to govern before, and their economic program will
00:06:44blow a huge hole in the state treasury, so
00:06:47that, and then the other parties warn against it, because it is
00:06:51an extremist party, the other parties call it like the German
00:06:55intelligence services, an extreme party, with contacts
00:06:58to violent and neo-Nazi groups, and therefore the other
00:07:02parties say, you must not vote for FD, there is no
00:07:05indication that very many people will do that, very many people will do it
00:07:08anyway. Steen Matz is not on the ballot
00:07:12himself, but if the chancellor's party with Matz at the helm loses both state elections
00:07:16today and even loses power in the capital Berlin, can
00:07:20Matz then remain as the party's
00:07:21leader?
00:07:24That is a very good question, the German media ask
00:07:27themselves the same thing and have done so all week now,
00:07:31and there are many in his party who are very dissatisfied with him, it's not just the voters, it's
00:07:35also in his own party, only one third of the members of his
00:07:38party think he is doing well, so the pressure on him is absolutely
00:07:41enormous. As we heard in the segment here, he lost, was humiliated
00:07:45two weeks ago in Saxony-Anhalt, now he faces two more
00:07:48election defeats and perhaps, as we heard in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, the party could be
00:07:52completely out of parliament, that would be a
00:07:55disaster, and then the pressure on him will become
00:07:59so strong that it is not certain that his
00:08:02party colleagues around him can continue to support him,
00:08:05and that thus the election, the elections tonight, could be
00:08:09the beginning of the end for Fredrik
00:08:12and his time as
00:08:13chancellor.
00:08:22The British pop singer is now putting words
00:08:24to the criticism that has circulated about him. The criticism came after rapper
00:08:28Macklemore was removed as a warm-up act on Sheron's tour
00:08:32after expressing support for Palestine. According to Sharon,
00:08:35it was the organizer who chose to remove the rapper. Lukas Graham
00:08:38and all other warm-up bands subsequently withdrew from Sharon's
00:08:42tour, and yesterday Sharon went on stage alone without other
00:08:46artists.
00:08:49The Jehovah's Witnesses religious community has eased its rules for receiving blood
00:08:52donated by others. This means that individual members can now choose whether
00:08:56they want to receive that type of medical treatment. Specifically, this means
00:09:00that they can receive plasma, platelets, and
00:09:03red and white blood cells, but members are still not allowed to say yes
00:09:06to a full blood transfusion, according to the
00:09:09religious community.
00:09:14For the first time in four years, DR is back in Russia, where the election to
00:09:18parliament ends today. This is the first election
00:09:21since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, and not a free
00:09:25election. But beneath the surface, yes, the result
00:09:28can still show signs of how much support there is for
00:09:31the Putin regime.
00:09:35The inventiveness is great in Carline Issepsiks small
00:09:38setup. The kitchen sink is spinning, only to finally end up
00:09:42as a treat for the skin, but it's hard times for
00:09:46luxury products, such as body scrubs and
00:09:48creams.
00:09:53About 60% of Russians say they have experienced a decline in their living conditions and a
00:09:56general worsening of their economy. Several of those I have spoken to here
00:10:00while I have been here, have mentioned things like food prices,
00:10:03as something that is important, something they would like
00:10:07to talk about, and especially that some of the goods have become relatively
00:10:10expensive, and one of the places you can see that is in a place like here in a
00:10:14Russian supermarket, where uh, people simply change
00:10:18their behavior, they start buying things that are a little cheaper,
00:10:21discount products for example, rather than more like
00:11:55although the election result for the Duma seems to be a foregone conclusion, there is
00:11:59still something at stake for Putin, that's the assessment from Flemming
00:12:02Spidsbol, senior researcher at Dis. There
00:12:06is an opportunity for people to express their dissatisfaction in various ways, they can stay
00:12:10home, or they can show up here, as we heard in the segment, at specific times and
00:12:13perhaps be pressured and confirmed that there are others who think as they
00:12:17do, they can try to vote for some of the other parties than
00:12:21Putin's party, for example, so there are some small things they can do, so there is a lot at stake.
00:12:28Now we need to get moving. The World Road Cycling Championships have filled the
00:12:32streets of Copenhagen, because the capital is the World City this
00:12:35weekend. Today, yes, it was a Half Marathon, and a new Danish record was set
00:12:38here. Here he comes, Jacob Simonsen on his way to
00:12:42the finish line, and on his way to a Danish record, great,
00:12:46great style here, coming in there, Jacob Simonsen. Yes, it was indeed
00:12:49Jacob Simon who this morning broke his own Danish record in the
00:12:53Half Marathon. He crossed the finish line in a time of one hour and 46
00:12:56seconds, and has thus improved his own record by 25
00:13:00seconds, and that kind of thing can also give you a lump in
00:13:03your throat, what is going through you, it's
00:13:07like,
00:13:08my family is out there,
00:13:11and even if you
00:13:14think like that when you are a sportsman and it's just
00:13:18training and then fun with the family, there are many sacrifices and
00:13:21uh, it's a tough life on many fronts, you have to say no to a lot.
00:13:25Uh, so when it finally
00:13:29succeeds, it just goes up in a higher unity, it just means, it means
00:13:32a lot, it was the fastest Danish time, but not fast enough
00:13:35to be called world champion, that was Swedish Andreas Alngren here,
00:13:39who took that title, he ran over the finish line after 58
00:13:43minutes, and among the women, a new world record was also set
00:13:47by the Kenyan Agnes Nigitic,
00:13:50she is chasing here 1 05-16, the question
00:13:53is whether she will make it. It will be very, very
00:13:56close, 11, 12,
00:13:5913, 14, 15, I think, I
00:14:03think she will break that world record, which applies to
00:14:06women's only race here by a single
00:14:09second, the fastest Danish woman in the half marathon, that was
00:14:13Caroline Millenar, who crossed the finish line after one hour and 13
00:14:17minutes and 47 seconds, and thus it is
00:14:20time for a look at the weather. Yes, there are
00:14:23showers around out there, some of them are also relatively
00:14:26heavy, it continues through the evening, and also partially through
00:14:30the night, but there will be longer and longer intervals between the showers, they will thin out more and more.
00:14:34On the other hand, the wind continues. There are already
00:14:37registered gusts of gale force in northwest Jutland, and it
00:14:41is also here that it will generally be most windy, but as you can sense, this
00:14:45strong wind field also moves on to
00:14:49Skagerrak, Kattegat, the Baltic Sea during the night. Then the
00:14:52wind slowly turns more northerly.
00:14:55This can help to push up the water level in, among other places, Roskilde and
00:14:58Odense Fjord, so be aware of that in those
00:15:01areas. The wind continues partially into the day
00:15:04tomorrow, it decreases slightly in strength Godsgøv, on the other hand, it will be a day with
00:15:08predominantly dry weather, a little more clouds towards the southwest, but
00:15:12otherwise good chances of sunshine for large parts of the country.
00:15:15Generally, there will be dry weather and sunshine on
00:15:19Monday and Tuesday until a new rain front arrives on
00:15:22Wednesday.
00:15:29Fear of artificial intelligence is spreading in the USA,
00:15:32both the right and left wings are demanding action, also when it comes to the
00:15:36gigantic data centers that are popping up like mushrooms all
00:15:40over the country, but President Trump, he only sees
00:15:43advantages, but will AI be a winner or a
00:15:47loser for the president, we investigate that in Trump's USA,
00:15:51which you can find right now on DRTV.
00:15:54Is President Putin deliberately lying about military advances that do not
00:15:57exist, or is he being misled by fearful
00:16:00generals? Putin talks about the capture of
00:16:04Ukrainian cities, but shortly after a Ukrainian general releases
00:16:08a video where he walks freely in one of the cities. What does that mean for
00:16:11the war in Ukraine if Putin really doesn't hear the truth about
00:16:15Russian losses and defeats? This is the war's
00:16:18day right now on DRTV.
00:16:22This content about fitness and training and diet, it fills an extreme
00:16:25amount on social media. The body ideal that I want to
00:16:29have comes from social media. You want to
00:16:32be like them, and fit into what you are constantly exposed to. One
00:16:36is encouraged to think that if I eat in the same way, I will
00:16:39look that way, the turning point
00:16:42was being about to die,
00:16:46a lot of the content is presented as health
00:16:49or self-care, and what it really is, is the exact
00:16:52opposite, the lie in your feed, it's a completely skewed plan, you
00:16:56get sick from eating like this, now on
00:16:58DRTV, oh how crazy
00:17:02it is, well it's incomprehensible,
00:17:04completely, we have traveled into the
00:17:07unfathomably large country, is it like here that you should
00:17:11be? yes, is it? not to explain all of China,
00:17:14but to get a little closer, so you feel
00:17:17left out if you're not on tiktok and streaming, yes
00:17:20okay, and perhaps to debunk a few
00:17:24prejudices, as Danes we can probably easily get lost in thinking our system is perfect and it
00:17:28will just work, it could never work in China, and we know too
00:17:31little and perhaps fear too much, Anne and Anders
00:17:35in China. on
00:17:37DRTV and tonight at 8 PM on DR1.
00:17:51We are live again with the latest news. The Danish
00:17:55Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, together with Greenland's
00:17:58Minister for Foreign Affairs and Greenland's head of government
00:18:02are now on their way to the USA, for Denmark, Greenland, USA in the
00:18:05coming week to sign an agreement regarding Greenland's
00:18:08future, we spoke briefly with the Prime Minister before she set course
00:18:12for New York. I understand that people
00:18:16are concerned about what this will specifically mean, and that applies
00:18:19of course especially in Greenland,
00:18:22where they have been through a very, very difficult period. I
00:18:26would say generally, that I would not myself put my signature on an agreement, and
00:18:30I know that Jens Frederik Nielsen would not put his signature on an agreement if it were not
00:18:34good for Greenland and for the Kingdom. The content of the new
00:18:37agreement has not yet been released, but the parties
00:18:40have apparently agreed on, among other things, Greenland's right to
00:18:44self-determination, and that the USA will increase its military
00:18:47presence in Greenland. The agreement is scheduled to be
00:18:50signed at a ceremony in connection with the UN General Assembly in New
00:18:54York next week. An agreement that is good for
00:18:58Greenland, for the Kingdom of Denmark, an agreement that is good for the USA,
00:19:01an agreement that is good for Europe, and when it is, when it is good for
00:19:05all of us who have been close allies for many years,
00:19:09it is also good for NATO and thus for our
00:19:12security as uh Europeans
00:19:16uh and of course especially in relation to the Arctic
00:19:19area um I understand that there is great
00:19:23curiosity about what is the content of the agreement
00:19:26of course this is something that concerns all of us and it is also something that has
00:19:30concerned all of us of course not least the Greenlandic population
00:19:33but uh in respect for the last
00:19:37few days. and everything must be in place as an agreement, so I will not be able to

00:19:51the very, very turbulent world we are in, and also that what we have
00:19:55called the red lines must be respected, that is, that we are a sovereign
00:19:58state, the Kingdom of Denmark, that the Greenlanders' right to
00:20:01self-determination must also be respected in the future,
00:20:05and what we call territorial integrity, and that
00:20:09is, that is all contained in this
00:20:11here. Greenland's Head of Government Jens Frederik
00:20:15Nielsen, who is currently on his way to New York, writes on
00:20:18Facebook: On my way across the Atlantic, I think of all
00:20:22of you at home, of the families, the children, the young and the
00:20:26elderly, of all those who have followed along and been worried about what

00:21:30Now we go to Germany, where two big state elections can be a
00:21:34barometer for both the country's and Chancellor Merkel's
00:21:37future. For voters seem to be fleeing from his party CDU,
00:21:40while the far-right party Alternative for Germany
00:21:44is storming ahead. In the capital Berlin, yes, the chancellor's party
00:21:48is facing a voter loss and even worse.
00:21:58the entire economic situation in
00:22:01Germany has actually gone very downhill, and now something
00:22:05has to happen. Anya Hünemörder Pritzner has always
00:22:08voted for the conservative CDU, but now she will vote for the
00:22:11far-right party AFD's state election in Mecklenburg
00:22:15Vorpommern. I am disappointed with the
00:22:18Chancellor, because I actually had hope
00:22:22as the Lord of the Economy and actually thought much
00:22:25more that he would also really get into the economy.
00:22:28Two weeks ago, Alternative
00:22:30for Germany, AFD, became the largest party in
00:22:34Saxony-Anhalt. We
00:22:36made history, we are taking
00:22:39back our country, it
00:22:42starts here in Saxony Anhalt. The CDU
00:22:46was, conversely, halved. Chancellor Fredrik Smerz called the result.
00:23:20"We have to draw a line somewhere and make a cut, so that it
00:23:23goes back up,
00:23:26otherwise, it looks very sad.
00:23:30And let's go directly to Berlin, to Degsten
00:23:33Nørskov, as we hear in the segment, many Germans are deeply
00:23:37dissatisfied and therefore ready to give AfD a chance.
00:23:41How have the CDU and other parties tried to talk voters away
00:23:45from AFD in this election campaign?
00:23:49They have done so by saying that what AfD promises, they will never be able to
00:23:52fulfill, that the economic policy that AFD stands for is deeply
00:23:56irresponsible. It may well be that it is not going very well economically, the other
00:24:00parties that are in power admit that it is not, but they say it will be even worse if
00:24:04AFD comes to power. They have never tried to govern before, and their economic program will
00:24:07blow a huge hole in the state treasury. So
00:24:11that, and then the other parties warn against FD, because it
00:24:14is an extremist party. The other parties call it
00:24:17like the German intelligence services, an extreme party with
00:24:21contacts to violent and neo-Nazi groups, and
00:24:24therefore the other parties say: you must not vote for FD. There is no
00:24:28indication that very many people will do that. Very many people will do it
00:24:32anyway. Steen Martz is not on the ballot,
00:24:35but if the chancellor's party with Martz at the helm loses both
00:24:39state elections today, and even loses power in the capital
00:24:42Berlin, can Martz then remain as the party
00:24:44leader?
00:24:47That is a very good question, the German media ask
00:24:51themselves the same thing and have done so all week now,
00:24:53and there are many in his party who are very dissatisfied with him, it's not just the voters, it's also in his own party, there's
00:24:57only a third of the members of his
00:25:01party who think he is doing well, so the pressure on him is absolutely
00:25:05enormous, as we heard in the segment here, he lost, was humiliated
00:25:08two weeks ago in Saxony-Anhalt, now he faces two more election defeats
00:25:12and perhaps, as we heard in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, the party will be completely out of
00:25:16parliament, that would be a catastrophe. And then the
00:25:20pressure on him uh will become so severe that it is not
00:25:23certain that his party colleagues around him can
00:25:27continue to support him, and that thus the election, the elections
00:25:31tonight, could be the beginning of the
00:25:34end for Fredrik Mart and his time as
00:25:36chancellor.
00:25:41I am making mistakes and I'm so, so
00:25:44sorry. The British pop singer Ed Sheeran is now putting words
00:25:48to the criticism that has circulated about him. The criticism came after rapper
00:25:51Macklemore was removed as a warm-up act on Sheeran's tour after
00:25:55expressing support for Palestine. According to Sheeran, it was the
00:25:59organizer who chose to remove the rapper, Lukas Graham
00:26:02and other warm-up bands subsequently withdrew from Sheeran's
00:26:05tour, and yesterday Sheeran then so alone on stage without other
00:26:09artists.
00:26:12The religious community of Jehovah's Witnesses has relaxed its rules for receiving blood
00:26:15donated by others. This means that individual members can now choose for themselves whether
00:26:19they want to receive that type of medical treatment. Specifically, this means
00:26:23that they can receive plasma, platelets, and
00:26:26red and white blood cells, but members are still not allowed to say yes
00:26:29to a full blood transfusion, according to the religious
00:26:32community.
00:26:37For the first time in four years, DR is back in Russia, where
00:26:41the parliamentary election ends today. It is the first election
00:26:44since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, and not a free
00:26:48election. But beneath the surface, yes, the result can
00:26:51still show signs of how the support for
00:26:55the Putin regime is.
00:26:59The ingenuity is great in Garline Issepshik's small setup.
00:27:03The kitchen garden is thriving, only to eventually end up as a treat for
00:27:06the skin. But these are times of hardship for
00:27:09luxury products, such as body scrubs and
00:27:12creams.
00:27:16Around 60% of Russians say they have experienced a decline in their living conditions and a
00:27:20general deterioration of their economy. Several of those I have spoken to here,
00:27:24while I have been here, have mentioned things like food prices, as something that is
00:27:26important, something they want to
00:27:30talk about, and especially that some things have become relatively
00:27:34expensive, and one of the places you can see that is in a place like here in a
00:27:38Russian supermarket, where people simply
00:27:41change their behavior, they go to buy things that are a little
00:27:44cheaper, discount products for example, rather than more such
00:27:48large ones, and many know where the needle points
00:27:51to,
00:27:57yes, and meat, beef 900 rubles,
00:28:00800, well, of course we are now from...
00:28:11Over the past few months, the war has increasingly had consequences for more
00:28:15than just finances for Russians. As recently as today, two people were killed here in
00:28:18Moscow when Ukraine sent 249 drones across
00:28:21the border, but despite sky-high inflation and the war constantly moving
00:28:25closer, there is no prospect of any significant change, election or
00:28:29not.
00:28:32The result
00:29:03for the Duma seems to
00:29:20be a given, but there is still something at stake for Putin,
00:29:24according to Flemming Spidsbol, senior researcher at
00:29:28Dis, there is a possibility for people to express their
00:29:31dissatisfaction in various ways. They can stay home, or they can show up here, as we heard in
00:29:35the segment at certain times and perhaps be reassured and confirmed
00:29:39that others think as they do. They can try to vote for some of the
00:29:42other parties than Putin's party, for example, so there are some
00:29:46small things they can do, so there is a lot at
00:29:48stake.
00:29:52Now we need to get moving. The World Championship road race has indeed filled the
00:29:55streets of Copenhagen, because the capital is the host city this
00:29:58weekend. Today, yes, it was the Half Marathon, and here a Danish
00:30:02record was set. He comes Jacob Simon on his way
00:30:05to the finish line, let's go, and on his way to a Danish record in fine, fine
00:30:09fine style here, Jacob Simonsen. Yes, it was indeed
00:30:13Jacob Simonsen who this morning broke his own Danish record in the half marathon.
00:30:17He crossed the finish line in a time of one hour and 46 seconds and has thus
00:30:20improved his own record by 25 seconds, and that
00:30:24kind of thing can also give you a lump in
00:30:26your throat. What is going through you?
00:30:30It's like?
00:30:34My family is out there and even though you
00:30:37think that when you are a sportsman and it's just
00:30:41training and then fun with the family, there are many sacrifices and
00:30:44it's a hard life on many fronts. You have to say no to
00:30:47a lot, so when it finally
00:30:51succeeds, it just goes up in a
00:30:54climax. It just means it means a lot. It was the
00:30:57fastest Danish time, but not fast enough to call himself world champion. That
00:31:01was indeed Swedish Andreas Alkren, who took that title, he ran across
00:31:05the finish line after.
