and part of the reason that i began to realize was that we don't understand how denmark got to be denmark. i had a visiting professorship, so i've been going. most danes have no idea how denmark got to be denmark. it struck me as a political scientist, this ought to be a book you can go to to say where did political institutions come from. i didn't see one. so i decided to write it. that's why we get the book that i've produced. so i also did not want to write a book on the origins of politics that told this traditional eurocentric or anglocentric story. not because i'm opposed to england or the west. it's a distortion. it's been one that's taught in a lot of the discourse that really beginning with carl marx that sees england as the model for modernization. england's present is everybody's future. this is what carl marx said. what you realize when you something about the history of england, it is a very peculiar country in a number of ways that i will explain. to expect other countries to replicate i think is highly unrealistic. and, in fact, in my view, it was china, not the -- china di

idea this integrating i can see that happening all over the place not only in denmark we might just be the first one to take steps to avoid further problems for our country but you are right the e.u. has an idea as an ideology if your life is disintegrating now a few months ago you mentioned the issue of the euro and where is the money going to come from to support are these new custom controls or do you think it's reasonable to use our public funding at a time when when the eurozone is just teetering on the brink well i think that the safety and security for our people cannot be paid until. we pay what's necessary these introduction of the border controls and it's up to around about one hundred six million danish kroner and i think that's a reach the peace to the price price to pay for for security and safety now there's been an influx of immigrants to the e.u. from the middle east and north africa after the ongoing unrest there do you think the e.u. is now paying a price for that. well the influx of people from north africa i mean are the group revolts i mean they only very much as o

denmark the new notorious through. of the promise prophet mohammed has been causing and aprile among muslims. so. in his view it could be what we have seen today could as well have happened in denmark and now it happened in norway danish police looking at it much the same way in. critical points in denmark has been under increasing reliance. including. the media house. spokesman where the. cartoons of the prophet muhammad was post. printed and indeed a big republic started a at a tabloid newspaper in norway a few i thought in fact in the building that was bombed today very close to it yes it does not appear to be talking use paper baton to conquer the affairs of the world. that was also damaged in the attack it does not appear that the newspaper was the target of attack no i mean tonight as we see this unfold in sydney the army we're hearing is no taking up positions in central all slow to try to ensure safety you know denmark and norway you're almost neighbors you're so close both of you to part of nato is there a sense of uneasiness deadlock tonight. yes definite. we have seen. denmark being the target of. conspiracy

denmark being the target. to commit terror attacks many of the. killers. many of them psychotic and. the media house. in the summer. five young men were arrested. too for this. media house with some traps and plants and kill as many journalists and other people working theirs as possible. david headley. who was arrested in chicago had also plans to. kill as many people here in this building. and last year also with terrorist. he blew himself up. trying to come in. in that building again so also something else interesting that's come out tonight although i'm saying what i'm saying about the health of the global jihad you cannot have an idea of what an attack at night look like but you know wearing from eye witnesses that saw what went on in this use car that the government. appeared to be of nordic appearance with blond hair the guy that was dressed as a policeman shooting a very soft targets these teenage is not part of the sort of person you necessarily first of all equate with so they're working for help for the global jihad. no i think it's far too earl

so our five minutes past the hour here in moscow stricter border controls are to be implemented in denmark as the country's parliament has voted in favor of permanent new legislation it will mean that more security checkpoints at the country's ports and at its border with germany are some evil officials have already condemned the move saying it might contradict mainland europe's much vaunted open border agreement these are going to go to school explains. but genius officials insist that this is to prevent drug flow ends of legal migrants from entering the country but the move has been regarded as a bad sign not just by the left wing politicians and the opposition in denmark itself but also has been severely opposed to why the e.u. officials in brussels and especially by denmark's neighbor germany they insist that this is a violation of good agreements of the open borders in europe and they also say that this is not a wise move at all to make during a particularly both tile time for the european union when countries are bickering over border disputes and over cash and money issues some beli

>> denmark and germany are -- there's meant to be easy moving between two. but denmark has employed 50 officers saying it's just a matter of catching criminals. >> in relation to e.u. law and the international obligations. and of course we will carry out the control and implement it in a way that's in corns with the e.u. law and international obligations. but critics say it's a matter to please the countries andos on who supports the danger on which the government depends. at the border, protesters agree. >> we are against the european idea which is a borderless europe. that's what we have been working toward citizens second world war. >> here the position is it is simply a matter about crime and border it's. outside denmark there's a perception of an increasingly -- over the bailout to greece and now over borders. increasingly, it seems like a european union of increasing disunion. 6 steven evans.

we've got this frontal system that's going to be bringing rains in towards denmark as well as spreadinghem over to the east, too. poland also a few showers today. and rain at times could get heavy into parts of germany. on toward denmark some warnings have been issued. you do want to watch out for that. showers will also spread into the scandinavian peninsula as well. to the east, unsettled still mainly across western russia. then things do stay dry in the southeast corner and it is hot for you. temperatures really shooting up here. budapest in at 32. belgrade at 35. athens coming in at 35 degrees as well. steamy conditions here. that's a look at your weather for now. here is your three-day outlook. >>> our lead story this hour -- the operator of the fukushima daiichi nuclear power plant will boost its efforts to monitor airborne radioactive substances around nuclear reactor buildings. with further measurements, they hope to find the source and prevent further leakage. it's believed that dust containing radioactive substances and contaminated steam leaking from reactors is still being r

been a rise whom right wing views being expanded right across the northern parts of europe so we're talking about sweden we are talking to a certain extent of denmarkand of course holland belgium down into crohn's so. i come back to the points that i made just a moment ago that. we need to be mindful of what's going on within each country as well as what's going on in the wider world as well ok now i did norway's immediate reaction was to reimpose border controls following of course denmark's lead a few weeks ago well that was heavily criticized by other e.u. leaders could this be the start of a split in the union you think. there is a very big question the the issue of open borders across europe has been on the table for quite some time now given the influx of immigrants from north africa following the fall of the jews in regime the the actions of the going on in libya and of course egypt as well we shouldn't forget egypt was world. a lot of those people. migrating into southern europe the issue is with border controls on the southern borders of the show. so-called shango area that has cools many many problems right across the region not least of

we will be using the stormy weather in denmark and into the scandinavian peninsula. the frontal line from the system will continue to bring a round of showers here through eastern europe and it moves through. it will bring the stormy weather and you might want to watch out for the thunderstorms. british aisles should stay dry tonight. showers as you head into friday. as for highs here, 25 degrees for london. not too bad. bell great heating up to 38 for athens. that's a look at the weather for now. here's the three-day outlook >>> the lead story, the operator of fukushima is looking to bring it under control by injecting nitrogen into the containment vessel. there is a long road ahead due to the wastewater system. the tokyo power company started on thursday to prevent a hydrogen explosion. they had begun at the plant's number one and two reactors, but the work at number three was delayed due to high levels. adding to concerns is the french-made device for radioactive wastewater working below target capacity. the cooling system is meant to decontaminate water and send

the town of the not in the moscow region was chosen ahead of venues in denmark italy and south korea russian competitors think being at home will give them an edge among course or at has more. has had a lot of practice in the run up to hosting the world championship this little town not far away from the russian capital has already held six world cup stages stirring up enough interest to waterski to make it a favorite sport among the locals since the gratian of the world championship in one hundred forty nine it was countries like the united states canada and france who dominated these nations also hosted the event over the years. still good and then russian water skiers have had some success on the international scene but until now the country has never had the chance to stage the sport's most sought after event in the local athletes are king not to disappoint the crowds and bring home the gold. cup i just get that must have got the fans in to know and understand what a scheme is a sports athletes from other countries who have already been the one of the world cup stages looking forward to the kind of cheering the

be able to ride on a red light. that was a discussion. i do not think that we will get that in denmark, because you have to change the legislation opinion that cyclists, they already have the rights they need. they have the same rights as cars, and that is enough. we don't have this for cars. >> we also have european regulation on that. i should do the picture of the 1-way roads. the cost that it brought with it. underneath the existing sign, you had to make another sign on the other part of the road. the also had to indicate you are a car driver on a one-way road but you may have cyclists on the other side. we said, let's pass the message that it is like that, with or without the extra sign, but we could not because it was prohibited by european regulations. we do have some constraints there. >> in the netherlands, you have a separate bicycle path where you cannot turn right without having to encounter other bikes going straight ahead or going left. in a lot of cases, they have traffic lights and they say underneath, cyclists to the right may pass at the red light. in the netherlands,
