11:10 pm
showing her partying and speculation about drug taking went viral opposition parties demanded proof sheet not consumed an illegal substance. 7 on board a little bit on either through the area, but i consider these accusations very serious. and though i think the demand for a drug test is unreasonable for my own legal protection. and to clear up dates, i've taken a test to day if i like the results will come in about a week and a half full of de la norm vehicle ortho marines behavior have divided the finished public. some have defended her right to enjoy her free time as she pleases, like anyone else. others have called her behavior inappropriate, and say she was naive to allow the filming. she was on duty as p. m at the time, but that she had no imminent appointments. i didn't have any work meetings planned for that week and they are confirmed usually before hunt. and i
11:11 pm
didn't have any meetings for example, saturday or sunday, but we didn't have any government meetings during that week and i had to tie more fund and spend it. why with my friends, and did nothing in legal still how critics question whether she could have made decisions in a sudden crisis in her condition, marine has the support of her social democratic party and intelligence experts say the incidental did not risk national security, but they warn it could be exploited for propaganda purposes, for example, by russia. mccarthy like will be albina malice. any other spunk bite, get that, and you have to be prepared for the fact that all material that start circulating can be used in the wrong way. batting santa marine became world's youngest serving government leader in 2019 age, just 34 percent. she has since been criticized for letting her head down at parties at her official residence. and last december, she apologized often. it was revealed,
11:12 pm
she'd gone out clubbing till 4 am after being exposed to covey. 19 a short while ago, i asked our corresponding terry shelton, brussels. whether son omar's behavior really posed a risk to finland, security, while nichol, they've actually come out intelligence officials and said there was no security risk from santa barnes behavior. and we should point out that there is no evidence that she did anything wrong. dancing is not illegal in finland, drinking alcohol as an adult is not illegal and she does not appear even in that video, and i've watched it many times to to seem incapacitated in any way. but the truth is that in a country like finland, which shares a border of 1340 kilometers with russia, national security questions are taken very seriously and are discussed quite transparently in public. and that's what this is really coming down to. and in the end it's, it's not so much whether she would have needed to take
11:13 pm
a decision at that moment that she was dancing in front of her friends camera. but whether the video itself can be used for propaganda. and as you heard, expert hannah smith say, there are already signs that russia is trying to exploit this video. this was, of course, meant to be a private video though. do we know how it was leaked? we don't know, and i've just checked with finished friends again in the last few minutes to make sure that we haven't seen any evidence about who leaked it. and this in fact might be a bigger security question. nicole because of course i sent them are and, and, and everyone there will. 2 know who was behind the phone, but if that person and i would expect that someone in that close circle would not purposely put it out. perhaps there is a lack of security in their phone system in, in the, you know, the people in networks close to santa martin. and that might be something that really is worth more of a more scrutiny when it,
11:14 pm
when it comes to security. if these phones can be hacked so easily, that this video could be put out and i would expect that people are looking at that very closely. now, this entire thing has triggered a heated debate about whether a video like this would have caused the same stir in the prime minister. we're an older man is martin under a particular scrutiny in finland for being young and for being a woman. i think she is, and i lived in finland for 8 years and i study the country quite carefully. you know, finland has had a lot of leaders who've done things that might not be considered so publicly proper . they were drinkers, they had mistresses, they had quite close relationships with soviet leaders. and you don't hear so much about that. of course there wasn't twitter there. what weren't social social mobiles videos that could be disseminated into the public. and so they got away with a lot more. so now you have this extroverted,
11:15 pm
a beautiful young woman seeming to have fun while on the job. and there's something about finland that says, you know, perhaps us just a bit much they, they aren't so light hearted at time. and i think they might be a little bit uncomfortable with it. but of course you have seen young people also cheering her on and saying, have a good time when you're off duty, madam prime minister. thank you very much. w correspondent, terry schultz from brussels. and lots of times you're out today, but stick around stephen bailey is up next with the latest in the world of business, you can always get all the latest news and information on our website. remember that is d w dot com article further from me and the entire team here and our newsroom and berlin. thank you so much for your company. her unsecured, that's why we that's hard and in the end is a me, you are not
