00:00:00a meeting with the US Vice President and
00:00:02Foreign Minister, that a joint working group will be established.
00:00:05Now there is an agreement that only needs
00:00:09a signature. We have an agreement that has been
00:00:12negotiated and which we have parliamentary support for in Greenland and
00:00:16Denmark, and which the president in internal procedures in
00:00:20the USA, has also commented on. Mette Frederiksen looks forward
00:00:23to meeting Trump. Yes, I have a, I have an excellent relationship with the American
00:00:27president, and well. In a troubled
00:00:30world, I believe this agreement is good for our
00:00:33security,
00:00:37and the Trump administration has included things in the agreement that it
00:00:41considers absolutely crucial, says DR's USA
00:00:44correspondent. They have emphasized that it will be
00:00:48easier for them to establish bases. It
00:00:51is such that there are actually two concrete new bases that are to
00:00:54be established, that is part of the agreement, and
00:00:57in general, there will be a larger
00:01:00military, an American military, military
00:01:03presence in Greenland, so the
00:01:06Americans have also been very keen on the timeline,
00:01:10that is, in the early agreement from 1951, it
00:01:13states that it applies as long as NATO exists, here it
00:01:17states that it applies forever, and that has been important
00:01:20for the Americans, and it is also about something
00:01:24that the Americans have actually been very preoccupied with, namely, what
00:01:28happens if, uh... Greenland should choose to become
00:01:32independent, and there are mechanisms in place that
00:01:35ensure that Greenland and this agreement
00:01:39still hold together, because that has been
00:01:42absolutely central for
00:01:43the Americans.
00:01:48And let's get an overview of what Monday offers, among other things.
00:01:51Novo invites investors in
00:01:55when the company holds a capital markets day.
00:01:58This will take place in London, and here the management of Novo will, among other things, provide insight into
00:02:02the ongoing research and operations at the company. The day also
00:02:06comes in the wake of the pharmaceutical company changing its name
00:02:09from Novo Nordisk to
00:02:36Russian parliament, and for the first time in four years, it is back in
00:02:40the country. It is the first election since Russia's
00:02:43full-scale invasion of Ukraine, and it is not a
00:02:46free election. But the result can nevertheless show signs of how
00:02:50support for the
00:02:52Putin regime looks.
00:02:56The inventiveness is great in Garlinek's small setup.
00:03:00Kitchen waste spins along, to finally end up as a treat for
00:03:03the skin. But these are difficult times for
00:03:06luxury products, such as body scrubs and
00:03:09creams.
00:03:13Around 60% of Russians say they have experienced a decline in their living standards and a general
00:03:17deterioration of their economy. Several of those I have spoken to here,
00:03:21while I have been here, have mentioned things like food
00:03:23prices as something important, something they want to
00:03:27talk about, and especially that some of the goods.
00:03:38behavior, people go to buy things that are a little cheaper,
00:03:42discount products, for example, instead of more such big
00:03:45brands, and many know where the needle points
00:03:48to.
00:03:54Yes, and beef is 900 rubles,
00:03:57800. Well, of course, we are now because of the war.
00:04:08Over the past months, the war has increasingly had consequences for more
00:04:12than just money for Russians. As recently as today, two people were killed here in
00:04:15Moscow when Ukraine sent 249 drones across
00:04:18the border. But despite soaring inflation and the war constantly getting
00:04:22closer, there is no prospect of any significant change, election or
00:04:27they succeeded in doing is not.
00:05:00They have trimmed the business, as they say,
00:05:03they succeeded in doing is so they hope that a cure for the economy
00:05:04will soon come.
00:05:10And we, yes, they just reduce their margin, but continue to work, continue to, so that...
00:05:14As expected, the Russian party, United Russia, which
00:05:18supports President Putin, is set to become the largest party in the parliamentary election,
00:05:22says DR's journalist in Moscow. The polling
00:05:26stations in Russia have now closed this evening, as you can see behind me, it is
00:05:30getting dark and closed and shut down. One of the things we have
00:05:33been keeping an eye on during the day has been how the support for the election
00:05:37would be, not least because President Putin himself, before the election, made a big deal
00:05:41out of encouraging people to go down and vote and take part in this election, and it
00:05:44seems to have worked, because if you believe the official figures from
00:05:48the election commissions, which you can perhaps always debate whether you should, well then
00:05:51voter turnout is very high, because one of the things that has made
00:05:54headlines this evening is actually that it is 56%, and that is
00:05:58higher than when the last election was held in 2021, but
00:06:02actually also in 2016 and perhaps all the way back to
00:06:051993, and that probably
00:06:08shows, it will be interpreted as, that there has been great support for this election.
00:06:12When it comes to the actual result, well, I still don't think there will
00:06:16be much tension about it. I will go out on a limb and say that it will probably
00:06:20be United Russia, i.e., the ruling party, that will win
00:06:23the majority of the votes, but how they finally distribute themselves among the
00:06:26parties that may eventually be elected to parliament, we will have to
00:06:30wait and see when a final result comes in during the night or
00:06:34tomorrow. And now it's time for a look at the
00:06:37weather. There is still a lot of wind in
00:06:40the forecast for the night to Monday, and the strongest wind field
00:06:44that has moved over Skagerrak, Kattegat and across
00:06:47the Baltic Sea area too, and with a wind that gradually turns more in a
00:06:51northerly direction, it creates pressure on the especially north-facing
00:06:54coasts, Roskilde Fjord, Odense Fjord can
00:06:58risk getting somewhat high water levels Monday
00:07:01morning. There will also be a bit of wind for the next
00:07:05day or so, but it will gradually die down as the
00:07:08hours pass. Monday night a bit of rain furthest to the southwest.
00:07:12and there may also be a little rain to begin with in the southern part
00:07:16of the country, Monday morning, but by far the most
00:07:19will have a dry day on Monday. Good
00:07:22chances of sun we have especially furthest to the east and all the way to the
00:07:26north, where one is sheltered by the Norwegian mountains with this northwesterly
00:07:30current. Monday and Tuesday will be dry and
00:07:34sunny right until a new front with new rain knocks
00:07:38on Wednesday.
00:07:38We are currently
00:07:50live with the latest news. We start in Germany, where
00:07:54the German Chancellor's party, CDU, is facing a
00:07:57catastrophic result in two major state elections on Sunday.
00:08:01The election could be a gauge for Germany and the Chancellor's own future.
00:08:05The extremist right-wing party Alternative for Germany
00:08:09is surging, while the Chancellor's party is facing a massive
00:08:14have experienced two elections with very different
00:08:18results. The result in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, we cannot
00:08:22sugarcoat it, it is a
00:08:24disaster. The CDU fought,
00:08:28but in the end the CDU was crushed in the
00:08:31polarization between SPD and
00:08:34AfD. Yes, there was a dejected Friedrich Merz speaking after the
00:08:37first exit polls came in. Right now, Merz's
00:08:41party, the CDU, is right on the brink of the 5% threshold
00:08:45in the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, while Alternative for
00:08:48Germany is getting a good 37% of the votes in
00:08:51Berlin, where the CDU is facing a setback of about 8% points,
00:08:55while the AfD is gaining almost 7% points, and that is a
00:08:58gain that does not go unnoticed. We clearly
00:09:02have the mandate to govern, we have more than doubled, so it's sensational,
00:09:06and we will offer talks to all parties,
00:09:09but no one wants to talk to them, except the BSW, who wants to talk to them
00:09:12but doesn't want to form a coalition. We'll see, as I said, we'll first
00:09:16accept this result, the voter has given us a very clear mandate, as I said,
00:09:20we have more than doubled here, that's something to celebrate first, the CDU is still struggling
00:09:24for entry, so let's wait and see, today
00:09:27the Germans' growing frustration with prices and
00:09:31bureaucracy has helped put the AfD on a winning
00:09:35course, says DR's correspondent, what
00:09:39to anger
00:09:43and frustration that many Germans feel about the sitting
00:09:45government, channel it into their
00:09:49own political circuit, and thus got people in
00:09:53large numbers to vote for them, over every third vote in
00:09:56Mecklenburg-Vorpommern went to them here in Berlin, about every
00:10:00sixth vote, this is their best election ever here in
00:10:03the capital, but it is the Germans' frustration with
00:10:06rising prices for diesel and petrol, for
00:10:09rents, uh for groceries. About
00:10:12bureaucracy, about abysmal
00:10:16public services in a long range of areas, schools falling apart,
00:10:19bridges collapsing, I could go on, and that gives, the AfD has with great
00:10:23success and skill in their election campaign blamed
00:10:27Friedrich Merz and his party for this. And now
00:10:30the question is whether Friedrich Merz can survive in his position as chancellor,
00:10:33as voters are fleeing the chancellor's party as frustrations, and
00:10:37among other things the German economy, grow.
00:10:39For the cup here, political change is brewing. The whole
00:10:43economic
00:10:47situation in Germany has actually gone downhill a lot,
00:10:50and now something has to happen. Anja Hühnemörder
00:10:54Britzner has always voted for the conservative CDU, but now she
00:10:58will vote for the right-wing party AfD in today's
00:11:01state election in Mecklenburg- Vorpommern in northeastern
00:11:04Germany. I am incredibly disappointed with the
00:11:07Chancellor, because I actually had hoped
00:11:11as a man of economics and actually thought
00:11:14much more that he would really immerse himself in
00:11:17economics.
00:11:19Two weeks ago, Alternative for Germany, AfD, became
00:11:23the largest party in Saxony-Anhalt.
00:11:25"We have made history, we are taking
00:11:28back our country, it
00:11:31starts here in Saxony."
00:11:34The CDU, on the other hand, was halved. Chancellor
00:11:37Friedrich Merz called the result the worst defeat for
00:11:40the party in decades. We are all deeply
00:11:44shocked, we did not
00:11:48expect it in this form. Now the Chancellor and
00:11:51the CDU are facing another test, besides Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
00:12:12that it will work again, otherwise I don't
00:12:15know, it looks quite sad, and even though
00:12:19Chancellor Merz has said that he has no
00:12:22plans to resign, well, the result is something that
00:12:26comforts the party. They have a very hard time understanding it. I was
00:12:30in Berlin's parliament, in the CDU, that is, in
00:12:34the Chancellor's party's large hall, when these results came
00:12:38in. And the conservative members
00:12:41looked at each other and had a very, very hard time understanding this. The Chancellor himself
00:12:45also has it, and it is both his party, but also the
00:12:48once large Social Democrats that have melted
00:12:52down here, and what is really the conclusion of
00:12:55both elections, one could say, is that not only the AfD, but
00:12:58also the far left, or at least those who, like the Social Democratic
00:13:02Minister-President in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, have waged an election campaign that
00:13:05polarizes voters, it is they who have won, it is the far
00:13:09right, the far left, especially here in Berlin, who have won, and in that
00:13:13way it confirms the trend that has been seen elsewhere in
00:13:16Europe in recent years, the wings are growing, the
00:13:20far right, which we talk about most, but actually also the far
00:13:23left. And the votes are still being counted,
00:13:27and in our live blog on DR.DK, yes, you can throughout
00:13:30the night get the latest news from the two
00:13:32state elections.
00:13:36The Danish Prime Minister and Foreign Minister flew to New York on Sunday. The same
00:13:40did the top of the Greenlandic government, to sign a
00:13:43new security agreement with the USA. This is to happen at a
00:13:46ceremony in connection with the UN General Assembly, most
00:13:49likely on Tuesday. We are almost there, you can be ready, Copenhagen Airport at
00:13:53noon. After many
00:13:56months of work and after many months of
00:14:00negotiations, we are approaching a
00:14:03good agreement. For Mette Frederiksen, the most important thing is that
00:14:07the unyielding demands from Greenland and Denmark are included
00:14:11in the agreement. What we have called the red lines must be respected,
00:14:14i.e., that we are a sovereign state, the Kingdom of Denmark, that
00:14:18the Greenlanders' right to self-determination must also be respected in the
00:14:21future, and what we call territorial
00:14:25integrity, and that is, that is all contained
00:14:28in this, should we get the agreement first? The Foreign Minister takes
00:14:31the plane from Billund Airport. Well, the thing about
00:14:35agreements is that they are not there until they are there, and it just needs to be
00:14:38signed. Neither Mette Frederiksen nor Lars Løkke will say much about
00:14:42the real content of the agreement. Well, we don't comment on this agreement before
00:14:46it is concluded. Out of respect for the
00:14:50last few days, and everything has to be in place as an agreement, so
00:14:54I won't be able to go into the concrete
00:14:56content, but the Americans, and especially Donald
00:15:00Trump, have given their interpretation of the Greenland agreement on social
00:15:03media. According to them, the USA gains control over security in
00:15:07Greenland, according to Trump, forever, and the Americans
00:15:11will immediately increase military presence in Greenland.
00:15:14The USA also claims that they will henceforth approve
00:15:17foreign investments, and if other countries wish to
00:15:21establish bases, and this has caused unrest in Greenland. Do
00:15:25you not have a duty to go out and just give your explanation of this
00:15:28agreement? I understand well that people are
00:15:31concerned about what this will concretely mean, and that applies
00:15:34of course - especially in Greenland,
00:15:37where they have been through a very, very difficult period, I would
00:15:41say in general that I would not myself sign an agreement, and
00:15:45I know that Jan Frederik Nielsen would not sign an agreement if it was not
00:15:49good for Greenland and for the Kingdom. The agreement will be the provisional
00:15:52conclusion of a long conflict between the USA and the Kingdom of
00:15:55Denmark. It began when Trump seven years ago
00:15:59demanded to get Greenland.
00:16:03And continued when Trump was
00:16:04re-elected.
00:16:12In January this year, a meeting with the US Vice President
00:16:16and Foreign Minister resulted in the establishment of a joint
00:16:19working group. Now there is an agreement that only needs
00:16:23a signature. We have an agreement that has been
00:16:26negotiated and which we have parliamentary support for in Greenland and
00:16:30Denmark, and which the president in internal procedures
00:16:33in the USA, has also commented on. Mette Frederiksen looks forward
00:16:37to meeting Trump, yes, I have a, I have an excellent relationship with the
00:16:40American president, and well, in a
00:16:44troubled world, I believe this agreement is good for our
00:16:47security,
00:16:51and the Trump administration has included things in the agreement
00:16:55that it considers absolutely crucial, says DR's
00:16:58USA correspondent. They have emphasized that it will be
00:17:02easier for them to establish bases, uh, it is
00:17:05such that there are actually two concrete. the new bases that are to
00:17:08be established, that is part of the agreement, um, and
00:17:11in general, there will be a larger
00:17:14military, an American military,
00:17:17military presence in Greenland, so the
00:17:20Americans have also been very keen on the timeline,
00:17:24that is, in the earlier agreement from 1951, it states
00:17:27that it applies as long as NATO exists, here it
00:17:31states that it applies forever, and that has been important for
00:17:35the Americans, and it also concerns something
00:17:38that the Americans have actually been very preoccupied with, namely, what
00:17:42happens if uh, Greenland were to choose to
00:17:45become independent, and there are mechanisms in place
00:17:49that ensure that Greenland and this
00:17:52agreement still hold together, because that has
00:17:56been absolutely central for
00:17:57the Americans.
00:18:02And let's get an overview of what Monday, among other things, offers.
00:18:05Novo. and invites investors, when
00:18:09the company holds a capital markets day.
00:18:12This will take place in London, and here the management of Novo will, among other things, provide insight
00:18:16into the ongoing research and operations at the company. The day also
00:18:20comes in the wake of the pharmaceutical company changing its name
00:18:23from Novo Nordisk to
00:18:50Russian parliament, and for the first time in four years, it is back in
00:18:54the country. It is the first election since Russia's
00:18:57full-scale invasion of Ukraine, and it is not a
00:19:00free election. But the result can nevertheless show signs of how
00:19:04support for the Putin regime looks.
00:19:10The inventiveness is great in Galilee's small setup.
00:19:12Kitchen waste is spinning away, to finally
00:19:16end up as a treat for the skin.
00:19:19But these are difficult times for luxury products, such as body scrubs and
00:19:23creams.
00:19:27Around 60% of Russians say they have experienced a decline in their living standards and a
00:19:31general deterioration of their economy. Several of those I have spoken to
00:19:34here, while I have been here, have mentioned things like. of
00:19:37food, as something that is important, something they
00:19:41want to talk about, and especially that some of the goods have become relatively
00:19:45expensive, and one of the places you can see that is in a place like here in
00:19:49a Russian supermarket, where people simply
00:19:52change their behavior, they go to buy things that are a little
00:19:55cheaper, discount products for example, instead of more such
00:19:59big brand names, and many know where the arrow points
00:20:02to.
00:20:23and in recent months, the war has increasingly had consequences for more than just money for
00:20:26Russians, as recently as today, two people were killed here in Moscow when
00:20:30Ukraine sent 249 drones across the border, but despite
00:20:34soaring inflation and the war constantly getting closer.
00:20:50In late summer, Yabloko was excluded from the election.
00:21:03Yabloko was one of the only remaining parties that were
00:21:06vocal critics of the war. The two
00:21:09women, Galina and Alina, are still mixing things up in the small back room in
00:21:13Siberia. They have trimmed the business, as they say. So
00:21:16they hope that a cure for the economy will soon come.
00:21:20who, like us, simply reduce their marginality, but continue to work, continue to stay afloat.
00:21:23маргинальность, но работают дальше, продолжают, чтобы остаться на
00:21:27As expected, the Russian
00:21:30party, United Russia, which supports President Putin, is set to
00:21:34become the largest party in the parliamentary election, says DR journalist in
00:21:38Moscow. The polling stations in Russia have now closed
00:21:42this evening, as you can see behind me, it is getting dark and closed and
00:21:45shut down. Uh, one of the things we have been keeping an eye on during the day has been
00:21:49how. support for the election would be, not least because President Putin
00:21:53himself, before the election, made a big deal out of encouraging people to go down and vote and
00:21:56take part in this election, and it seems to have worked, because if you
00:22:00believe the official figures from the election commissions, which you can perhaps always
00:22:03debate whether you should, well then voter turnout is very
00:22:07high, because one of the things that has made headlines this evening is actually that it
00:22:10is 56%, and that is higher than when the last election was held
00:22:14in 2021, but actually also in 2016 and
00:22:18perhaps all the way back to 1900. 93, and that
00:22:21probably shows, it will be interpreted as, that there has been great
00:22:25support for this election. When it comes to the actual result, well, I
00:22:29still don't think there will be so much tension about it. I will
00:22:32go out on a limb and say that it will probably be United Russia, i.e., the ruling party, that will
00:22:36win the majority of the votes, uh, but how they finally
00:22:40distribute themselves among the parties that may eventually be elected to
00:22:43parliament, we will have to wait and see when a final result comes in
00:22:47during the night or tomorrow, and...
00:22:50now it's time for a look at the weather. There is
00:22:53still a lot of wind in the forecast for the night to
00:22:56Monday, and the strongest wind field that has moved
00:22:59over Skagerrak, Kattegat and across the Baltic Sea area
00:23:02too, and with a wind that gradually turns more northerly, it
00:23:06creates pressure on the especially north-facing
00:23:09coasts. Roskilde Fjord and Odense Fjord
00:23:12can risk getting somewhat high water levels Monday
00:23:15morning. There will also be a bit of wind for the next day
00:23:19or so. It will gradually die down as the hours pass.
00:23:23Monday night a bit of rain furthest to the southwest, and there can
00:23:26also be a little rain to begin with in the southern part of
00:23:30the country, Monday morning, but by far the most will have
00:23:34a dry day, Monday. Good
00:23:37chances of sun we have especially furthest to the east and all the way to the
00:23:40north, where one is sheltered by the Norwegian mountains with this
00:23:43northwesterly current. Monday and
00:23:46Tuesday will be dry and sunny right until a new
00:23:50front with new rain knocks on Wednesday.
00:24:04We are live with the latest news. We begin in Germany,
00:24:08where the German Chancellor's party, CDU, is facing a
00:24:11catastrophic result in two major state elections on Sunday.
00:24:15The election could be a gauge for Germany and the Chancellor's own future.
00:24:19right-wing party Alternative for Deutschland
00:24:23is surging, while the Chancellor's party is facing a massive
00:24:26setback. Today we have experienced
00:24:30two elections with very different results. The result in
00:24:34Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, we cannot sugarcoat it, it
00:24:37is a disaster. The
00:24:40CDU fought, but in the end the CDU
00:24:44was crushed in the polarization between SPD and
00:24:48AfD. He is the chairman. A dejected Friedrich Merz spoke after the
00:24:52first exit polls came in. Right now, Merz's party,
00:24:55the CDU, is right on the edge of the 5% threshold
00:24:58in the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, while
00:25:01Alternative for Germany is getting a good 37% of the votes in
00:25:05Berlin, where the CDU is facing a setback of about 8% points,
00:25:09while the AfD is gaining almost 7% points. And that is a
00:25:12gain that does not go unnoticed. We clearly
00:25:16have the mandate to govern.
00:25:50That's what DR's correspondent says. What
00:25:53to channel a lot of that anger
00:25:57and frustration that many Germans feel about the incumbent
00:25:59government, channel it in. uh in their
00:26:03own political circuit, and thus
00:26:06got people in large numbers to vote for them. Over every
00:26:09third vote in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern went to them
00:26:13here in Berlin, approximately every sixth vote, which is their
00:26:16best election ever here in the capital, but it is
00:26:19the Germans' frustration over rising prices for diesel
00:26:22and petrol, for rents, uh for
00:26:25groceries, over bureaucracy,
00:26:28over poor public services in a wide range of
00:26:31areas. Schools decaying, bridges collapsing, I could just
00:26:35go on, and the AFD has, with great success and skill, in
00:26:39their election campaign, blamed Friedrich Merz and his party
00:26:42for this. And now the question is whether Friedrich Merz can
00:26:45survive as chancellor, as voters flee the
00:26:49chancellor's party as frustrations, and among other things the German
00:26:52economy, grow.
00:26:56For the bearer here, political change is brewing. The whole
00:26:59economic situation.
00:27:22because I actually had hope as Mr.
00:27:26of the economy and actually thought much more that he would also
00:27:30really delve into the economy. delve into the economy.
00:27:33Two weeks ago, the Alternative for Germany (AFD) became
00:27:37the largest party in Saxony- Anhalt. We have
00:27:40made history. We are taking
00:27:43back our country, it begins here in
00:27:46Saxony-Anhalt. Sie de week was halved.
00:27:49halved.
00:27:52Chancellor Friedrich Merz called the result the worst defeat for the party in decades. We are
00:27:56all deeply shocked. We have
00:28:00not expected it in
00:28:03this form. Now the Chancellor and the CDU are facing
00:28:06another test. Besides Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germans are voting
00:28:10in Berlin. I say, it will be very
00:28:13close. I would be in favor of the AFD winning,
00:28:16because then they have to prove themselves. Many voters
00:28:19believe that time is running out for Chancellor Merz and
00:28:22the CDU. We must somewhere now draw a line and make a cut
00:28:26so that it goes back up again.
00:28:29Otherwise, I don't know. The
00:28:33whole thing looks so sad, and even though Chancellor Merz has said that he has no plans
00:28:37to resign, yes, the result is something that
00:28:40troubles the party. We have a very hard time understanding it. I was standing
00:28:44in Berlin's parliament, in the CDU, that is, in the
00:28:48chancellor's party's large hall, when these results came
00:28:52in, and the conservative members
00:28:55looked at each other and had a very, very hard time understanding this, the chancellor himself also
00:28:59has it, and it is both his party, but also
00:29:02the large, once large social democracy, which has
00:29:05melted down here, and what is in reality the conclusion of both
00:29:09elections, one could say, is that not only the AfD, but
00:29:12also the far left, or at least those who, like the social democratic
00:29:16prime minister in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, have waged an election campaign that
00:29:19polarizes the voters, they are the ones who have won, it is the far
00:29:23right, the far left, especially here in Berlin, who have won, and in that
00:29:27way this fits into the trend that has been seen elsewhere in
00:29:30Europe in recent years. the eyes are growing, the far
00:29:34right, which we talk about the most, but actually also the far
00:29:37left, and the votes are still being counted,
00:29:41and in our live blog on DR.K, yes, throughout the night
00:29:44you can get the latest news from the two
00:29:46state elections.
00:29:50The Danish Prime Minister and Foreign Minister flew to New York on Sunday, the same
00:29:54did the Greenlandic government top to sign a
00:29:57new security agreement with the USA. This will happen at a
00:30:00ceremony in connection with the UN General Assembly, most
00:30:03likely on Tuesday, we want to be there, please be ready,
00:30:06at Kastrup Airport at midday, yes, after
00:30:10many months of work, and after many
00:30:13months of negotiations, we are approaching
00:30:16a good agreement, for Mette Frederiksen
00:30:20the most important thing is that the inalienable demands from
00:30:23Greenland and Denmark are included in the agreement. What we have called the
00:30:27red lines must be respected, that is, that we are a sovereign state,
00:30:30the Kingdom of Denmark, that Greenland's right to self-determination, also in
00:30:34the future, must be respected, and what we call
00:30:38territorial integrity, um, and that is, that is all
00:30:42contained in this. Shall we just get the agreement first? The Foreign Minister
00:30:45takes the plane from Billund Airport. Well, agreements are
00:30:49not there until they are there, and it just has to be
00:30:52signed. Neither Mette Frederiksen nor Lars Løkke will say much about
00:30:56the real content of the agreement. Well, we don't comment on it here.
