In this episode of Molecule to Market, you'll go inside the outsourcing space of the global drug development sector with Lars Petersen, President & Chief Executive Officer at FUJIFILM Biotechnologies.   Your host, Raman Sehgal, discusses the pharmaceutical and biotechnology supply chain with Lars, covering: The difficult decision to leave Novo Nordisk and make the jump from one great company to another in Genentech/Roche. How leaving a Biogen site led him to step away from big pharma after 25 years and transition to the CDMO side. How Fujifilm's culture of innovation, technology, quality, and people runs through the Biotechnologies division — and why empowerment and culture should never be compromised. Why the duplication of its CDMO sites globally, all running on the same kojoX platform, is truly differentiating. Why he believes the need to standardise, scale, and globalise drug production in a consistent, efficient, and traceable way is key to the future of the supply chain. Molecule to Market is also sponsored by Bora Pharma (boracdmo.com) and Charles River (www.criver.com), and supported by Lead Candidate.    Lars Petersen, CEO of FUJIFILM Biotechnologies, is recognized as a visionary leader in the life science sector, commanding a global contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) with nearly 5,000 employees spread across Denmark, UK, USA, and Japan.    Distinguished for his strategic vision and a "people first" philosophy, Lars has profoundly impacted the company and the industry. His leadership journey saw him rise from Chief Operational Officer & Senior Vice President at the Danish site, where he established an empowering culture, to CEO, promoting transparency across all operations. Since his global leadership appointment in June 2023, Lars has been instrumental in cultural transformation, integrating a "people first" approach across FUJIFILM Biotechnologies' global facilities regardless of geographical differences.   Prior to his appointment as CEO, Lars was responsible for the Global Large Scale Commercial operation including full profit and loss accountability as well as the responsibility for over $6.2 Billion global expansions both in Hillerød, Denmark, and Holly Springs, North Carolina, USA.   Previously, Lars has held leadership positions with Biogen, Genentech/Roche, Novo Nordisk, Novozymes and NNE, and he has successfully executed projects in Europe, China and the US.   Lars holds a master's degree from the Technical University of Denmark.   Please subscribe, tell your industry colleagues and join us in celebrating and promoting the value and importance of the global life science outsourcing space.

“ For many of our guests, they normally say, ‘It's not just a stay, it's a memory in the making.' It's a place where time slows down and where the ordinary, what do you say, becomes something truly extraordinary.”We're in great company with Maria Oldenbjerg, the fairy godmother, formally known as the Hotel Director, of the Nimb Hotel in the heart of Copenhagen—where with the enchanting Tivoli Gardens as its lush backdrop, Nimb presents an unparalleled combination of subtle Scandinavian urban luxury, Danish design, meticulous service, and top-tier gastronomy, all infused with a touch of Tivoli enchantment. Born in 1909 within a Moorish-inspired "Bazaar," this architectural gem began as the vision of culinary entrepreneurs Vilhelm and Louise Nimb, who transformed their restaurant into the heartbeat of Copenhagen's dining scene. Today, as the only hotel nestled within Europe's oldest amusement park and recognized among Small Luxury Hotels' elite "Finest Collection" and “Considerate Collection,” Nimb continues to redefine what it means to create authentic and sustainable luxury experiences that blur the lines between heritage and innovation.As seasons change, and ours begins with this episode, Maria invites the young, and the young at heart, to discover how she transforms ordinary moments into something truly magical—where “hygge” isn't just a travel trend, but a way of welcoming the world home.  Top Takeaways[2:00] The Phone Call That Changed Everything: After her first hotel shift, Maria called her mother excitedly: "I found my dream job. I want to become a general manager one day." That clarity eventually led her home to Nimb, the luxury hotel she'd always admired.[6:00] Where Dreams Take Root: In 1909, visionaries Vilhelm and Louise Nimb built their Moorish palace within Tivoli Gardens - Europe's oldest amusement park - bringing the entire world to Copenhagen so Danes could taste and travel without leaving home.[15:30] The Garden That Never Sleeps: Guests wake to the quiet serenity of the pristine grounds as they anticipate the day's crowds. And after a day of excitement, guests retreat to find the soothing musical performances and twinkling lights linger like memories into the night.[16:00] Seasons of Wonder: The hotel breathes with Tivoli's rhythms - Easter treasure hunts, Halloween face painting, Christmas stockings crafted by Danish artisans, each moment woven into memory-making magic.[18:30] Rooms That Hold Stories: Each of Nimb's 38 spacious rooms and suites whispers secrets through understated luxury and timeless elegance, from handpicked antiques set against modern Danish design to complimentary “hygge bars" filled with local Danish delicacies.  [24:00] Culinary Theater: Dining at Nimb goes beyond the dish and becomes a storytelling medium, from Nimb Brasserie's French favorites to the Japanese Pagoda's rotating Michelin-starred chef residencies.[27:00] The Science of Renewal: A hidden wellness sanctuary redefines urban wellness - blending cutting edge technology with globally inspired ancient techniques - replenishing weary travelers with a sense of vitality.[38:40] Living Poetry: Peacocks wander as symbols of grace, their presence so beloved that feathers now adorn linens and inspire children's toys.Notable MentionsDanish DesignGeismars beddingToni fixturesBang & Olufsen audioArtist Cathrine Raben DavidsenFlowers by NimbFrederiksberg, CopenhagenAmager StrandparkDanish SmørrebrødVisit For YourselfNimb Hotel Website | @nimbcopenhagen

Edition No250 | 01-10-2025 - There has been a dramatic maritime showdown involving a grey fleet oil tanker, with shocking implications for Russia's hybrid warfare in Western Europe's backyard. French forces have just boarded a tanker tied to Russia's “shadow fleet,” suspected of launching drones over Denmark. Moscow fired back, calling the move “provocative.” We'll trace how these fits into a larger pattern: drone incursions, hybrid escalation, and Russia's threats towards Europe.Let's start with the facts as they're known. In late September 2025, multiple drone incursions over Danish airspace triggered disruptions at airports in Copenhagen and Aalborg. The flights were mysterious, unauthorized, and widely suspected to be part of a hybrid operation by Russia, though Moscow denied direct involvement. (Le Monde.fr)Around October 1, French authorities moved in. The oil tanker known as Boracay (formerly Pushpa among other aliases) — flagged under Benin but with opaque ownership ties — was boarded by French military personnel off the coast near Saint-Nazaire. (The Guardian)Two senior crew members — the captain and first mate — were arrested. The Brest prosecutor's office confirmed the investigation is ongoing, citing “very serious wrongdoings,” including refusal to cooperate and failure to justify the ship's nationality.

Nottingham Forest play their first home game in Europe since 1996 when they take on FC Midtjylland in the Europa League at the City Ground on Thursday night. Plenty of Forest fans will see this as a game Forest should win under Ange Postecoglou despite recent struggles, but should be wary? Midtjylland have won ten of their last 11 games and are currently second in the Danish league, plus they were 2-0 winners against Sturm Graz in their Europa League opener. Matt Davies is joined by Pete Blackburn and Elliott Talbot to preview the game and discuss team selection in full. #nffc #nottinghamforest

This Day in Legal History: First Governmental Recognition of Same-sex RelationshipsOn October 1, 1989, Denmark became the first country in the world to legally recognize same-sex relationships through its Registered Partnership Act. The law allowed homosexual couples to enter into civil unions that granted nearly all of the same legal protections and responsibilities as marriage, except for adoption rights and access to religious marriage ceremonies. The Danish parliament had passed the legislation earlier that year with a strong majority, marking a historic shift in global LGBTQ+ rights.The law was the result of more than a decade of activism by Danish LGBTQ+ rights organizations, particularly the group LBL (Landsforeningen for Bøsser og Lesbiske), which had been advocating for legal recognition since the 1970s. Public support in Denmark was relatively high by the late 1980s, aided by a culture of social liberalism and the country's strong welfare state. When the law took effect, eleven male couples and one female couple registered their partnerships at Copenhagen City Hall in a widely publicized ceremony.International reaction was mixed. Many human rights organizations hailed the Danish move as groundbreaking, while conservative and religious groups elsewhere condemned it. Still, Denmark's action inspired a gradual but undeniable trend. Over the next few decades, many other countries—including Norway, Sweden, and eventually the United States—adopted laws recognizing same-sex unions or full marriage equality.The Registered Partnership Act remained in place until Denmark legalized same-sex marriage in 2012, at which point existing partnerships could be converted into marriages. The 1989 law is now widely regarded as the legal foundation for modern same-sex union legislation worldwide, proving that structural legal change can begin in small, progressive nations and ripple outward.A high-stakes redistricting hearing began October 1, 2025, in El Paso, Texas, where a panel of three federal judges will decide whether the state's new congressional map—redrawn mid-decade—can be used in the 2026 midterms. At issue is whether the map was motivated by unconstitutional racial gerrymandering or permissible political considerations. Texas defends the redraw as a purely partisan move to benefit Republicans, which, while potentially unethical, may be legally protected under Rucho v. Common Cause (2019), a Supreme Court ruling that bars federal courts from reviewing claims of partisan gerrymandering.The plaintiffs, a coalition of minority and voting rights groups, argue that the map violates constitutional protections against racial discrimination, citing a July letter from the DOJ which had warned that the 2021 map was unlawfully racially gerrymandered. Texas initially used that letter to justify the special session called by Gov. Greg Abbott, but has since pivoted to a political defense, potentially undercutting its earlier rationale. The court has set a fast-paced schedule, allowing no opening statements and warning that it will not tolerate delays.Seven lawmakers are expected to testify, and the panel includes judges appointed by Reagan, Obama, and Trump. This same trio heard a race-based challenge to the 2021 map earlier in the year, which became moot after the legislature preemptively redrew the map. Experts say proving racial motivation will be difficult but critical, as plaintiffs cannot legally challenge maps solely for being politically gerrymandered.Texas' Political Aims on Trial as Redistricting Hearing BeginsThe U.S. government officially shut down on October 1, 2025, after Congress failed to pass a funding bill by the end of the fiscal year. The standoff has quickly become a political battle, with President Donald Trump blaming Democrats for pushing a $1.5 trillion agenda and Democrats accusing Trump of sabotaging negotiations and gutting federal programs. Trump's administration is reportedly planning mass terminations of federal workers, going beyond typical furloughs, as part of its long-standing effort to shrink the federal bureaucracy.This shutdown flips the usual script: Republicans now seek a clean continuing resolution to keep the government open, while Democrats are demanding healthcare-related provisions and curbs on Trump's spending discretion. Democratic leaders Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries are focusing on extending ACA subsidies and reversing Medicaid cuts, but unity within the party remains fragile. Trump has escalated tensions by sharing inflammatory, AI-generated content targeting Democratic leaders, prompting backlash and accusations of racism.Polling suggests that blame is spread, with a third of voters holding both parties responsible. Markets are already reacting to the uncertainty, and concerns are rising about delayed economic data. Some Republicans, including Trump allies, warn that the shutdown could politically backfire on the president, as it did during his 2018 border wall standoff.Trump, Democrats Grapple for Edge as Government Shutdown BeginsA federal judge ruled that Sigal Chattah is not lawfully serving as Nevada's acting U.S. attorney, dealing another blow to the Trump administration's approach to appointing interim federal prosecutors. Judge David G. Campbell, a George W. Bush appointee, found that Chattah's appointment violated the Federal Vacancies Reform Act (FVRA). Specifically, the Attorney General's method of designating her as a “first assistant” to qualify her for the acting role was not consistent with congressional intent under the statute.This decision echoes a similar August ruling in New Jersey, where Alina Habba was also found ineligible to serve as an acting U.S. attorney under the same legal reasoning. Courts have rejected the idea that the Attorney General can bypass standard succession rules to install political allies into key prosecutorial roles.Though Chattah's appointment was struck down, Judge Campbell denied motions to dismiss cases she oversaw, noting that Assistant U.S. Attorneys maintain independent authority and that defendants failed to show any prejudice to their cases. Additional legal challenges are still pending, including in the Central District of California against Bill Essayli, another controversial Trump acting appointment.Nevada Acting US Attorney Chattah Disqualified by US Judge (1)A California jury has found Uber not liable in the first U.S. trial over claims that one of its drivers sexually assaulted a passenger. The plaintiff, known as Jessica C., alleged that in 2016, her Uber driver pulled off the road and assaulted her during a ride. While the jury determined that Uber was negligent in implementing safety measures, it concluded that the company's negligence was not a substantial factor in causing the assault.This civil trial, held in San Francisco Superior Court, was the first bellwether case out of over 500 similar lawsuits consolidated in California state court. Another 2,500 related cases are proceeding in federal court. Bellwether trials serve as test cases to help guide broader litigation strategy or inform settlements in mass tort cases.The plaintiff's lawyers sought up to $1.2 million in compensatory damages per year of her life but did not request a specific amount in punitive damages. They argued Uber failed to take obvious safety steps, like assigning female riders to female drivers or requiring dash cams, despite knowing about widespread assault risks.Uber denied liability for the criminal acts of its drivers and pointed to improvements in its safety protocols, such as enhanced background checks, safety reports, and in-app security tools. Nonetheless, Uber remains under scrutiny. A recent congressional inquiry and ongoing criticism highlight lingering concerns about the company's handling of rider safety.Uber found not liable in first US trial over driver sexual assault claims | Reuters This is a public episode.

“a member of an aristocratic club” [BERY]  Sherlockians from around the world joined the members of the Sherlock Holmes Klubben i Danmark earlier this year to mark their 75th anniversary. While the club first met in 1950, the Danish appreciation of Sherlock Holmes is as old as the Great Detective himself, when translations, movies, and parodies of his cases first graced the pages of the country's newspapers.  Join us for a wide-ranging discussion with Christian Monggaard, BSI ("Neville St. Clair") to discover the exceptional community of artists and writers who first brought Holmes to the Danish public and formed the first societies. You'll hear about noted the artists and illustrators Robert Storm-Petersen and Henry Lauritzen, and learn the twists and turns that led to Christian's career as a film critic and journalist. Of course we lead off with Sherlockian gatherings for the second half of November in "The Learned Societies" segment. Madeline Quinones is back with "A Chance of Listening," and the Canonical Couplet quiz tests your Sherlock Holmes knowledge, with something from the vaults for the winner.

To make sure you never miss great content like this, subscribe to our channel: https://www.youtube.com/@spiked  Twenty years ago, Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten published 12 cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad, sparking protests, riots and boycotts across the Muslim world. Clashes outside Danish embassies led to at least 200 deaths. Flemming Rose was the culture editor who commissioned the cartoons. Here, he explains why we must fight for the right to draw Muhammad, why we must never bow to Islamic intolerance and why self-censorship is the greatest enemy of free speech.

Genmab's $8 billion acquisition of multispecifics company Merus is the Danish biotech's largest step toward marketing its own pipeline. On the latest BioCentury This Week podcast, BioCentury's analysts discuss the evolution of Genmab, which, for many years, relied on a partnership model that delivered blockbuster revenues but now is making a change as a patent cliff looms.The analysts also assess the tenure of Emma Walmsley the longtime CEO of GSK, and what's next for the U.K. pharma under incoming CEO Luke Miels. Turning to the U.S., Washington Editor Steve Usdin discusses President Donald Trump's looming tariff threat on imports of branded drugs, which Usdin says would hurt small biotechs the most. Usdin also analyzes the response of multinational pharmaceutical companies to the president's demand that they make “most favored nation” price concessions, now that Monday's deadline has passed.

Is the economic rationale of soil health always the top priority for farmers? Or, do other soil values rise to the top of farmers' minds, for example, having a healthy habitat for soil fungi? Kasper Krabbe, a doctoral student at Aarhus University in Denmark and a visiting guest scholar at Virginia Tech, returns to talk with Mary, Jeff, and Eric about his research into understanding farmers' intrinsic and extrinsic values in caring for soil. Kasper states that a deeper understanding of farmers' values and motivations is needed because of the degraded condition of agricultural soils globally. For instance, peer pressure to maintain and strive for tidy fields can inhibit experimentation with alternative minimum till systems and diverse cropping mixtures because of neighboring farmers' perceptions of certain aesthetics.    The videos Kasper created of his interviews and interactions with cooperating Danish farmers as part of the Soil Values research initiative can be viewed at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxwHRB9ybRM As always, we encourage you to cooperate with other farmers, graziers, and gardeners for peer-to-peer learning and to follow the four core soil health principles: 1) Keep the soil covered -- Cover crops are our friends and allies;2) Minimize soil disturbance -- Practice no-till or gentle tillage in your field or garden as much as possible;3) Maximize living roots year-round -- to improve biodiversity, soil structure, and life in the soil; and4) Energize with diversity -- through crop rotation, farm enterprises, and/or livestock integration.More details about the Virginia Farm-to-Table Feast and Harvest Celebration scheduled for Saturday, October 25, 2025, from 4:00 to 8:00 p.m. at On Sunny Slope Farm in Rockingham, Virginia, can be found at https://virginiafarmtotable.org/2025vaf2tharvestcelebration/To enjoy recent 4 The Soil blog posts and additional soil health resources, please visit https://www.4thesoil.org/blog and https://www.virginiasoilhealth.org/.

Meanwhile, more than 1,500km to the West, Denmark reported drone sightings over military sites in its own country.These latest Danish reports follow a series of drone sightings across Europe in recent weeks, including in Poland, Germany and Romania, as well as Russian fighter jets violating Estonia airspace. These incursions have caused international chaos and raised concerns over the security of northern Europe and its vulnerability to air attacks from Russia.Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskiy has said the recent drone aggression across European countries is proof that Vladimir Putin is planning to expand Russia's war into the European Union.And while Russia's foreign minister Sergey Lavrov says Russia has no intention of attacking European Union or Nato member states, he also says it is prepared to act if provoked.Europe is moving forward with plans for a drone wall and increasing defence spending, but is that enough?Today, on In The News, is Europe already at war with Russia?The Guardian newspaper foreign correspondent Luke Harding discusses the growth of Russian interference and provocation across Europe and Moscow's belief that it is already at war with the West.Presented by Sorcha Pollak.

Forest are back in Europa League action, but can new manager Ange Postecoglou get his first win? Check out FFTV Merch! Click Here: https://forestfantv.com/ Wolfie is here to gear you up for Thursday's Europa League showdown at the City Ground, where Ange Postecoglou's Reds host the Danish powerhouse FC Midtjylland in what could be a turning point after five winless games. Midtjylland come in flying high after a 2-0 victory over Sturm Graz in their opener, boasting a clinical attack led by Franculino Dju's nine goals this season, but Forest's home advantage and Ange's continental pedigree make this a winnable fixture—Wolfie shares his thoughts on how the Reds can finally break their duck and build momentum. Wolfie dives into his predicted teamsheet: expect a bold 4-3-3 with Igor Jesus spearheading the attack after his Betis brace, potentially edging out Chris Wood for a start to inject pace into Angeball's high-pressing transitions—will the Brazilian's finishing fire earn him the nod? Will Zinchenko be kept at left back or would Ange be tempted to switch him to a midfield role? How do you see this one playing out—a gritty 2-1 Forest win to give Ange his first triumph, or will Midtjylland's set-piece threats expose vulnerabilities?

The BBC's cyber correspondent was offered money if he helped criminals hack his employer's IT systems. They said they would steal data or install malicious software and hold his employer to ransom. Joe Tidy played along with them for a couple of days before things turned ugly. Also: President Trump posts then deletes a video promoting fake news about something called med-beds which conspiracists believe have magic powers to restore missing limbs and reverse ageing. The Danish government temporarily bans civilians from flying drones, as it prepares to host an EU summit this week - this follows drone incursions in European airspace, prompting suspicions that Russia is deliberately testing Nato defences. And trials are carried out in Britain to test whether tomatoes can be genetically edited to boost people's vitamin D levels.

the Danish countryside.Da: De havde ikke set hinanden i flere år, og det føltes både spændende og lidt nervepirrende for dem begge.En: They hadn't seen each other in several years, and it felt both exciting and a bit nerve-wracking for them both.Da: De kørte ad snoede veje, omgivet af træer iført livlige nuancer af rød, orange og guld.En: They drove along winding roads, surrounded by trees adorned in lively shades of red, orange, and gold.Da: Solen brød frem mellem skyerne som en kærkommen varm gestus.En: The sun broke through the clouds as a welcome warm gesture.Da: Lars, der sad bag rattet, kastede et sidelæns blik på Mette.En: Lars, who was behind the wheel, cast a sideways glance at Mette.Da: Hun kiggede ud ad vinduet med et lille smil på læben, som om hun nød hver eneste

changing scenes, from meadows to dense forests, each kilometer filled with memories from their past.Da: Det var næsten som om, naturen selv støttede deres genforening.En: It was almost as if nature itself was supporting their reunion.Da: Deres samtale kom i gang, som om en usynlig barriere blev brudt mellem dem.En: Their conversation started as if an invisible barrier had been broken between them.Da: "Kan du huske, da vi plejede at cykle til den lille bakke udenfor byen og spise madpakker?"En: "Do you remember when we used to bike to the little hill outside town and eat packed

til at invitere Mette på denne tur.En: As they drove through an area with densely planted fields, Lars gathered the courage to open up about what had truly prompted him to invite Mette on this trip.Da: "Mette, jeg vil gerne sige noget."En: "Mette, I want to say something."Da: Hendes nysgerrige blik mødte hans.En: Her curious gaze met his.Da: "Ja, hvad er det?"En: "Yes, what is it?"Da: "Jeg har virkelig savnet vores venskab.En: "I've really missed our friendship.Da: De år, vi ikke har set hinanden, har jeg ofte tænkt på, hvor vigtigt det var for mig," sagde Lars, hans stemme lidt anspændt, men ærlig.En: In the years we haven't seen each other, I've often thought about how important it was to me," said Lars, his voice a bit tense but honest.Da: "Jeg vil gerne prøve igen, se om vi kan finde den forbindelse."En: "I'd like to try again, see if we can find that connection."Da: Mette smilede varmt og rakte ud for at toppe hans hånd.En: Mette smiled warmly and reached out to touch his hand.Da: "Jeg har også savnet dig, Lars.En: "I've missed you too, Lars.Da: Livet er blevet så travlt, men jeg vil gerne gøre en indsats for os."En: Life has gotten so busy, but I want to make an effort for us."Da: Da de kørte videre gennem det maleriske landskab, fyldt med farverige træer under en klaret blå himmel, blev de enige om at holde kontakten og udforske deres venskab, som det er nu.En: As they continued driving through the picturesque landscape, filled with colorful trees under a clear blue sky, they agreed to keep in touch and explore their friendship as it is now.Da: De lovede hinanden at være mere til stede i hinandens liv.En: They promised each other to be more present in each other's lives.Da: Lars følte en lettelse, han ikke havde forventet.En: Lars felt a relief he hadn't expected.Da: Han havde været sårbar, og det havde båret frugt.En: He had been vulnerable, and it had borne fruit.Da: Det danske landskab, med sin rolige efterårsskønhed, virkede som

vidste nu, at sandt venskab kunne holde tidens og forandringens test.En: Together, the happiness warmed him from the inside, and he now knew that true friendship could withstand the test of time and change.

looking up at the castle that held so many childhood memories.Da: Ved siden af ham stod Kirsten, altid smilende og fuld af liv, med hendes lyse hår, der fangede solens glimt.En: Next to him stood Kirsten, always smiling and full of life, with her bright hair catching the glints of the sun.Da: På den anden side stod Lars, som rastløst skimtede mod horisonten.En: On the other side stood Lars, who restlessly peered towards the horizon.Da: Han var tydeligvis mere interesseret i fremtiden end i nutiden.En: He was clearly more interested in the future than the present.Da: "Jeg tænkte," sagde Mikkel stille, "at vi kunne tage en tur rundt i haven.En: "I was thinking," said Mikkel quietly, "that we could take a tour around the garden.Da: Måske kan det hjælpe med at bringe os lidt tættere sammen igen?"En: Maybe it could help bring us a bit closer again?"Da: Han så på sine to venner, håbende på deres samtykke.En: He looked at his two friends, hoping for their agreement.Da: Kirsten nikkede ivrigt.En: Kirsten nodded eagerly.Da: "Det lyder som en god idé, Mikkel!En: "That sounds like a good idea, Mikkel!Da: Haven er smuk på denne tid af året."En: The garden is beautiful this time of year."Da: Lars trak på skuldrene.En: Lars shrugged.Da: "Jo, lad os gøre det."En: "Sure, let's do it."Da: Hans stemme bar en let utålmodighed, men han fulgte trøstig med.En: His voice carried a hint of impatience, but he followed willingly.Da: De gik gennem de snoede stier, omfavnet af træernes orange og røde pragt.En: They walked through the winding paths, embraced by the trees' orange and red splendor.Da: Mikkel forsøgte at finde de rigtige ord til at bryde isen, men stilheden var tung, nærmest trykkende med uforløste følelser.En: Mikkel tried to find the right words to break the ice, but the silence was heavy, almost oppressive with unresolved emotions.Da: Pludselig, næsten som om himlen ønskede det, begyndte regnen at falde.En: Suddenly, almost as if the sky willed it, the rain began to fall.Da: De søgte hastigt tilflugt under en gammel pavillon, der havde været der længere, end nogen af dem kunne huske.En: They hastily sought refuge under an old pavilion that had been there longer than any of them could remember.Da: Vands dråber trommede rytmisk mod taget, og der, som om lyden fra regnen havde en magisk virkning, lettede stemningen.En: The raindrops drummed rhythmically against the roof, and there, as if the sound of the rain had a magical effect, the mood lightened.Da: Kirsten brød stilheden.En: Kirsten broke the silence.Da: "Kan I huske den gang, vi næsten gik vild herude, fordi vi var så optaget af at finde den hemmelige sti?"En: "Do you remember the time we almost got lost out here because we were so caught up in finding the secret path?"Da: Hun grinede, og den lysnede atmosfæren betydeligt.En: She laughed, brightening the atmosphere significantly.Da: "Ja," tilføjede Lars, hans stemme blødere nu.En: "Yes," added Lars, his voice softer now.Da: "Og hvordan vi skændtes over, hvem der havde ret omkring vejen tilbage."En: "And how we argued over who was right about the way back."Da: Mikkel tog en dyb indånding.En: Mikkel took a deep breath.Da: "Jeg har længtes efter at tale om det.En: "I've been longing to talk about it.Da: Jeg savner vores venskab, og jeg ønsker virkelig, vi får det godt igen.En: I miss our friendship, and I really want us to be okay again.Da: Jeg indser nu, at det var dumme småting, der kom imellem os."En: I realize now it was silly little things that came between us."Da: En stille pause fulgte hans ord, så så Kirsten på Lars og derefter på Mikkel.En: A quiet pause followed his words, then Kirsten looked at Lars and then at Mikkel.Da: "Jeg også.En: "Me too.Da: Livet er for kort til at bære nag over ingenting."En: Life is too short to hold grudges over nothing."Da: Lars nikkede, et smil formede sig på hans læber.En: Lars nodded, a smile forming on his lips.Da: "Lad os ikke gentage de samme fejl.En: "Let's not repeat the same mistakes.Da: Fremtiden er vigtig, men nutiden er det, vi altid skal værdsætte."En: The future is important, but the present is what we must always cherish."Da: Sammen hørte de regnen falde, mens latter og minder fyldte luften.En: Together, they listened to the rain falling, while laughter and memories filled the air.Da: Da regnen endelig stoppede, gik de tre venner væk fra Egeskov Slot, tættere end før, med nye bånd forseglet af tidligere misforståelser og ny forståelse.En: When the rain finally stopped, the three friends walked away from Egeskov Slot, closer than before, with new bonds sealed by past misunderstandings and new understanding.Da: Mikkel førte an, med en nyvunden vilje til at tage initiativ og sætte ord på sine følelser.En: Mikkel led the way, with a newfound willingness to take initiative and express his feelings.Da: Efterårens kulde var ingenting mod varmen af genvundne venskaber.En: The autumn's chill was nothing against the warmth of recovered friendships.

Something that tells us less about the technology itself, and more about human determination. You know the story - Danish energy giant Ørsted the world's largest offshore wind developer - spent five billion dollars building the Revolution Wind project off the coast of Rhode Island. Eighty percent complete. Three hundred and fifty thousand homes depending on the electricity. Then, one August morning, the phone rings - The new administration says: "Stop. Everything. Now." Just like that, Orsted is losing a reported two million dollars every single day the turbines sit idle. Last Monday, federal judge Royce Lamberth looked at the government's reasoning and said - and I quote - "There is no question in my mind of irreparable harm." He ordered work to resume immediately. Ørsted's stock jumped. The workers went back to their jobs. The turbines will spin again. Meanwhile, President Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" has triggered something nobody saw coming: the great wind energy consolidation. Clean energy deals jumped from seven billion dollars to thirty-four billion dollars in just six months. Companies like Agilitas Energy are swooping in, buying up distressed assets from companies that may struggle with the new reality. As Barrett Bilotta from Agilitas put it: "We are on the buy side." Across the Atlantic, let's talk about France. Now, you might think the French would be leading the offshore wind revolution. After all, they've got coastline, they've got technology, they've got TotalEnergies. But you'd be wrong. Patrick Pouyanne, TotalEnergies' chief executive, put it bluntly this week: "It's hell to invest in France for regulatory reasons." Get this - it takes two and a half to three years just to bid on offshore wind projects in France. In Germany, Pouyanne can get permits twice as fast. "I don't understand," Pouyanne said, "why we're able to renovate Notre Dame Cathedral in five years and unable to build solar or wind plants at the same pace." And yet - here's the kicker - even as he criticized his home country, TotalEnergies just won the contract for France's largest offshore wind farm ever. One and a half gigawatts off the coast of Normandy. But here's where the story gets interesting. While France stumbles with red tape, parts of North America is waking up. Up in Nova Scotia, Minister Sean Fraser announced this week that Canada is moving full steam ahead with offshore wind development. They're calling it part of a sixty billion dollar opportunity. The Canadians are doing something smart: they're learning from everyone else's mistakes. Streamlined processes. Clear timelines. So what does all this tell us? It tells us that wind energy isn't just about technology anymore. It's about adaptation. It's about resilience. It's about knowing when to fight and when to pivot. Ørsted fought in court - and won. TotalEnergies called out France's bureaucracy - while quietly building their biggest offshore wind farm ever. Canada saw opportunity in others' uncertainty. And the smart money? It's buying up assets while they're cheap, knowing that the wind is a long-term investment. Speaking of people who understand resilience,

This week at the United Nations General Assembly, Syria's new interim president Ahmad al-Sharaa came with a message: Syria is back after being isolated for about six decades. Also, Chinese President Xi Jinping announced at the UN Climate Summit the country's first national emissions reduction targets. It marks a shift in China's approach to climate policy, which, until now, allowed emissions to grow in tandem with economic growth. And, Denmark issued a formal apology yesterday for forcing Indigenous women and girls from Greenland to use contraceptive devices. Beginning in the 1960s, Danish doctors inserted IUDs into thousands of Inuit women and school-age girls, often without their or their parents' knowledge or consent. Plus, climate change has exacerbated drought and extreme weather in northern Ghana, leaving many in the agricultural region struggling to grow enough food. Chef Fatmata Binta sees a solution in fonio, a grain similar to couscous, indigenous to West Africa.Listen to today's Music Heard on Air. Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices
