we are controlled by a foundation anchored in denmark. we have a lot of footprint in denmark. having said that, we do invest and expand a lot globally. most of what we sell in the u.s. we also produce in the u.s., so in many aspects we are as much a u.s. company as a danish company. but the headquarters is based in denmark for the foreseeable future. francine: you think of denmark and you think of novo because of the size of revenue which is bigger than the gdp. is that uncomfortable? lars:lars: i think maybe the perspective should be corrected a bit. we all know that gdp is an economic matrix on a yearly basis in the market cap is confidential. if we compare with everything in denmark, we would be tiny. but of course there is also the point of our expansions. more than 30,000 in denmark, huge investment. we are fueling the gdp growth and you know we take that quite seriously. so the jobs we create, i don't think they will disappear again. now we are talking about expanding in the u.s.. it doesn't come in the shape or form, it is growth in the u.s. we will be careful and respe

we have a lot of, say, footprint in denmark.g said that, we do invest and expand a lot globally. most of what we sell in the u.s. we also produce in the u.s., so, in many aspects, we are as much a u.s. company as we are a danish company. but the corporate headquarter is based in denmark for the foreseeable future. francine: you think of denmark, and really, now, you think of novo, because of the size of revenues, which is, i think, bigger than gdp. is that uncomfortable? lars: i think maybe the perspective should be corrected a bit, because there is this comparison about our market cap with the danish gdp. and we all know that gdp is an economic flow matrix for the flow on a yearly basis, and the market cap is the total value of the company. i'm sure if we compare the market cap of novo nordisk with the market cap of everything that is in denmark, we would be tiny. but, of course, there's also the point that with our expansions, our more than 30,000 employees in denmark, huge capex investment, we are fueling the gdp growth. and,

denmark does not put any restrictions on the donations. but, the u.s. does. something you would like to see change? >> well, look at the things we are donating and fincing. it has to be used according to international law, of course. it means it can be used inside ukraine and also outside ukraine if it is with military purpose and according to international law. for me, it is quite clear this is necessary for ukraine. because what we see from russia is brutal. it's brutal attacks. just a few days ago it was a hospital in kyiv. i am out of words. looking at that. they have almost destroyed everything when it comes to energy infrastructure now in ukraine. so, of course, we need to give them the weapons and capacity to strike back on russia. it has to be according to inteational law, of course, the -- but that has been the premise since the beginning of the war. >> prime minister, briefly, you said progress to help ukraine has been slow at times. can ukraine ultimately won the war against russia? >> they have to. i see no alternative. if we allow russia to decid

reporter: what is the goal behind the tax denmark is putting in place? to get farmers to reduce their herds? >> they have multiple parts of the policy, the tax is only one part of it but yes the biggest part of the agriculture sector is dairy and all that production so they are trying to address that -- and hog production so they are trying to address that. they are trying to get farmers to transfer to rio for station to install wetlands, which are also major sources of greenhouse gas emissions when you drain the wetlands and deforestation can help pull carbon dioxide out of the air. it is helping them transition out of so much animal production, they will still produce meat and dairy and so many animals but maybe not as much and baby scale back and have some land transition to climate beneficial land practices. reporter: do you think this will be effective? >> we will have to see. what is really exciting about it is this plan came together when farmers sat down with food system workers and climate advocates and put the plan together. this starts in 2030

and then denmark can do that a bag teen off. and good luck with that. moscow has already threatened to denmark with retaliation. just for considering a response to the dark fleet, but without one billions of dollars in the legal oil, revenue will continue flowing through european waterways to the kremlin war chest. a lot report from the w correspondent, terry schultz, who joins us now. welcome to terry. what do you think is the most concerning aspects of base ghost fleets, the, the fact that the undermining sanctions against russia, setting its oil, defendant's war against ukraine, all the potential for an environmental catastrophe, positively no accountability. you have very little accountability because as i mentioned, the so called insurance companies sometimes can't even be found in i heard stories about owners of the ships, you know, try trying to be tracked and there, there would be addresses like in supermarkets, in india and, and things like that, so there really is very little accountability, but it really seems to be t

mine denmark's farm is to blame. the small country with just under 6000000 inhabitants is home to twice as many cows and pigs and many farm is used fertilizers on the fields that eventually end up in the c christian and the mentions farm lives only a few kilometers from the field. he says he has already cut the use of nitrates to the bare minimum. he uses a satellite images to monitor which fields need to be fertilized and which can do without. but he thinks it would be impossible to give up. photo lies is altogether i think it's a good thing that we have reduce the nitrogen, but i don't think we can get any further. i think we got the lowest limit that we can accept as a, from the plants need nutrients to grain when grow without them since the pharma and since reducing the use of fertilizers, his plans are already only surviving on what is left in the ground. the mads fields christianson is aware of the problem. as a nature manager, he's only saying a project and restoring the ecosystem. invite you fjord. he knows t

we just wanted to ask you whether you think your opinion should be doing more to help denmark with the situation. so yes, so this should be done by the entire surface close and otherwise there is a serious risk of breakfast, usually for the coffee for undertakes certain stuff. as you mention your reporting the, the key question that's really important. so if we want to generate more transparency around, insurance insider if we also want to be able to exclude. busy offer insurance from. busy these wires like today's phase to go and the oversight and so forth. then we need to find an enforcement. and the 1st one is probably not the actual interdiction with muscles because it creates the legal issues. but. busy to the right of profits to these waters, but it also creates a huge opportunity for a shot for some kind of bring my ship and certain things as was outlined. finally, expert in your report, it was a part of the biggest one we use that. then we thank you very much for a we're gonna have to leave it. there were out of time that was benjamin who is talk of the german council on foreig

a fjord is one of denmark's most expensive residential areas. but it's superficial. beauty is deceptive. he's weekly fishing trips continued to show fish . las amigos in how the feud is slowly dying. below the surface l. d is blooming, clouding the water, and depriving fish and underwater plants. the vital lights and oxygen. scientists footage shows how the bottom of the fuel it has become nearly devoid of life in waters that once were full of cod flounder and loved fish used to be a real fish, as paradise says nicholson. but now there are almost no fish left. he's been going out to sea for over half a century because then had hoped to continue fishing off to retirement, to supplement his pension. now taking the boat out is not really worth it anymore. my. that is a new plan and it makes me both angry and for straight to duck. nobody is really doing anything special. no it, it seems like those who should be taking action are only trying to shift the blame of the 2 point. oh, excuse me. you know, and on the nicholson's mind denmark's farm is to b

to rewrite the, i say close to denmark, a country is looking for international backup and its efforts to control the and you have these some vessels that don't exist on paper, but they're right here in front of my eyes that show which fleet of oil tankers just working in denmark every day, but nobody knows what's control. welcome to the day candidates in britain's general election of wrapped up campaigning. i have after 14 days of conservative government thursdays, most is expected to deliver a landslide victory to the center, left off position labor potty prime minister officially so next seems resigned to the idea of losing power. visiting a school in the final day have become paid. suppose this to prevent what it called a labor super majority. as poll after poll predicts one of the biggest and excellence lives in bottom business history. so i'm working very hard until the last minute of this campaign for every vote and you've been out with me across the country saying that yesterday was a long day because i really believe lots of people have not made up deadlines. and that's why i'

and then denmark can do that the teen up and good luck with that. moscow has already threatened to denmark with retaliation just for considering a response to the dark fleet. but without one billions of dollars in the legal oil, revenue will continue flowing through european waterways to the kremlin war chest. so these ghost fleet oil tankers pose a double thread 1st, they undermine you efforts to stop russia selling oil to fund his war against ukraine. second, they could cause an environmental catastrophe with no accountability. i asked benjamin who have been stopped from the german council on foreign relations, which of these is the more pressing concern to some of the level of risk? so it was outlined in your reporting for sale suite, which is estimated to consist of around $430.00 plus and i thought of this point carrying national oil. these are largely a tankers of the youngest in their lives and they're older than 15 years. um they are under maintains they are flags and coffee, so do not have proper regulatory oversight and requirements in terms of maintenance and instructions. and m

denmark by 5.6 times, germany by 3.2 times, france by more than two times times.tilizers from russia. europe is reducing its production, in germany the production of nitrogen fertilizers was 20% lower than in the base fifteenth year than 10 years ago, in italy and france it was 40% lower, that is, a shortage of raw materials, which, of course, leads to deindustrialization of the economy and... probably gas chemistry, the production of nitrogen compounds - this is one of the most important segments where this is most clearly visible. business believes that unless european politicians take action, local production will power will disappear altogether. if there are no such companies in europe, that is, in essence , europe will again become dependent on supplies from other countries, including russia, which is what they are so afraid of. and here the question arises... of the development of the agro-industrial sector in europe, these are again the farmers whom we just recently spoke about, these are strikes from last year, this year they happened, if the cost of produ

khadim said yesterday in the program that she was from denmark, that i am free from prison with a hijabe, we are hearing this from someone who was born in a western country and grew up there since birth. he has done and experienced everything before the attention of those who say that he is a freedom fighter, the one who, according to him , lived in this prison, was born , grew up, was educated, he himself says that yes, he is saying that i was released from prison by choosing islam. according to that, the choice of hijab means that we are teaching this to the viewers from the words of someone who has lived in iran or studied religion. we don't see anyone, those who this happened to , who accepted the hijab in the same society they lived in and now choose iran as their country of residence, came to live here. and again, for example, the interpretations that this hijab is actually the crown of our servitude on our heads, these interpretations were really something that touched my heart personally, and i hope that now, dear viewers, watching this program , i was tired. when i said beer ,

we used to talk about 90 planes that denmark, belgium, the netherlands, and norway were going to give, now there are 128, that's in money, i think, more than 20 million. dollars, and at the same time, this need is stated as not long-term, but urgent given the fact that the russians have 300 aircraft there, which are actively used for strikes on ukraine. let's see what will happen as a result of the changes in washington, but zelenskyi said that we are increasing the number of aircraft available to ukraine. at the same time, today there is actual super news that denmark and the netherlands have already started. the transfer of the first f-16 fighter jets to ukraine and already this summer they will help defend against russian aggression, us secretary of state anthony blinken said today, let's hear his direct speech. i am also happy to announce that the transfer of f-16 fighters from denmark, the netherlands is currently underway and these fighters will fly in the skies of ukraine. this summer to to make sure that ukraine will be able to continue to defend itself effectively against rus

transferred to ukraine, it should be noted that norway previously transferred two more planes to denmark transferred to the base where ukrainian pilots are trained, and these planes have already participated in the training, and i don’t know, or in addition to those two six planes, which will be eight in total, or maybe they will include the two planes already in front. "norway will pass, but here we can already speak go about the fact that these aircraft, when they are transferred, they will be transferred in a combat-ready condition. valery ryabykh, a representative of the defense express consulting company, worked now on the espresso live broadcast, and we are now going on a short break, and after it we will continue to analyze extremely important and interesting things. if you want to wake up as if you were a child at your grandmother's house, full of strength and energy, then the new product from mattress market is just for you, meet the perryina dreamlight mattress. the perryina dreamlight mattress smooths out all the unevenness of old mattresses, sofas, clamshell, it can be laid o
