COPENHAGEN, Oct 7 (Reuters) - The screenwriter of hit series "Borgen" says the main theme in the show's latest season - the darker side of holding power - drew inspiration from Denmark Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, who has been criticised for centralising authority. "We have a premise for Borgen ... Can you remain in power and still remain true to yourself?," Price told Reuters during an interview in Copenhagen. 1/3 Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen speaks during a news conference in front of Marienborg in Copenhagen, Denmark October, 5 2022. "Naturally, we are also inspired by elements in the character of our current Prime Minister," Price said, adding that Nyborg's character was also influenced by many other current and former political personalities. "I'm sure a lot of people in the UK would enjoy that, especially if we weren't very friendly towards Brussels," Price said.

Moller-Maersk's (MAERSKb.CO) chief executive said on Thursday he expects a "modest" pick-up in trade for the upcoming holidays this year amid concerns about the slowing global economy and consumer demand. "Volumes headed into the Christmas season are lower than a normal year," Soren Skou said in a Reuters Newsmaker interview. Ocean freight volumes will be flat or lower this year, though there is still congestion in global supply chains, he said. Maersk has raised its 2022 profit guidance twice this year as high freight rates persisted longer than expected.

Gas leak at Nord Stream 2 as seen from the Danish F-16 interceptor on Bornholm, Denmark September 27, 2022. The seismograph recorded near-silence until 0003 GMT (2am local time) when there was a spike representing a tremor in the earth followed by a continuous hissing waveform. GFZ declined to be drawn on whether the tremors recorded could have been the result of an explosion. Nord Stream 2 was first reported to have depressurised on Monday afternoon. The depressurisation in the Nord Stream 1 pipeline was reported in the early evening, shortly after the second of the two spikes.

Scanpix 2022/Emil Helms via REUTERSCOPENHAGEN, Sept 27 (Reuters) - Leaks detected in the Nord Stream gas pipelines clearly were caused by deliberate actions and could not have been a result of accidents, Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said on Tuesday. It was not an accident," Mette Frederiksen said at a press briefing in Copenhagen. The leaks, first reported on Monday, were in international waters but inside Denmark's and Sweden's exclusive economic zone. Danish authorities assess that the damage was caused by blasts, Energy Minister Dan Jorgensen said at the briefing.

The operator of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline reported a sudden drop in pressure overnight on Monday, with a spokesperson suggesting there could have been a leak. A few hours later, Nord Stream AG, operator of another undersea gas pipeline from Russia to Germany, said it was looking into a drop in pressure in Nord Stream 1. read moreSweden's Maritime Authority said on Tuesday it had warned of two leaks on Nord Stream 1 in Swedish and Danish waters. Analysts and experts say such leaks are very rare and Nord Stream AG has called leaks on three strings of the offshore gas pipelines "unprecedented". Gas leaking from the damaged Nord Stream 2 pipeline in the Baltic Sea will continue for several days and perhaps even a week, the Danish Energy Authority said.

But since both Nord Stream pipelines contained mostly methane, "the potential for a massive and highly damaging emission event is very worrisome", McCabe said. Scientists say sharp cuts in methane emissions over the next few years will be a vital lever in curbing climate change. Releasing that amount in entirety to the atmosphere would result in around 200,000 tonnes of methane emissions, said chemical engineer Paul Balcombe at London's Queen Mary University. ENVIRONMENTAL RISKWhile oil spills can immediately affect and ultimately kill wildlife, authorities say the gas pipeline gas leaks pose a limited threat to the surrounding plant and animal life.

However, Rasmussen's broadside comes at a time Macron is recalibrating his message and striking a firmer tone against Moscow. Macron stated that peace talks can only work if Ukraine's "sovereignty is respected, its territory liberated and its security protected." "Russia must now understand that it cannot impose its will by military means", said Macron. "He has weakened international cohesion, and I think he is now regretting this and trying to regain the initiative", he said in the interview.

Сторонники Дональда Трампа 6 января ворвались в здание Конгресса в Вашингтоне. Они прервали совместное заседание с участием сенаторов и членов Палаты представителей США, которые собрались, чтобы утвердить результаты выборов президента.

Через несколько часов после начала столкновений, когда порядок был восстановлен, заседание сенаторов и конгрессменов возобновилось.
