Another sperm bank scandal, Danish students receive worst-ever PISA results and a crackdown on Airbnb (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week on The Danish Connection: We discuss another scandal unfolding for The European Sperm Bank, with new revelations confirming that banks have been blowing past the legal family limit by as much as four times, while the national regulatory authority responsible for monitoring the banks cannot confirm that family limit checks have ever actually been conducted.

Denmark and Greenland's genocide dispute, PET's Russian sabotage warning and farmers protest the nitrogen law (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week on The Danish Connection: We unpack the long-awaited "spiral case" reports into decades of non-consensual IUD insertions on Greenlandic women and girls — and why the international expert panel split into two conflicting conclusions on whether it amounted to genocide. We discuss PET's warning that Russia has drawn up concrete sabotage plans targeting Denmark, including companies tied to military aid for Ukraine, and what this reveals about the scale of the threat facing Danish defence i

A teenage terror attack attempt in Jutland, SAS expands as the green agenda dwindles, and the PM reacts to Ceuta (opens the original)

We unpack the arrest of three Danish teenage boys, aged 15 and 16, charged under Denmark's terrorism law over an alleged plot to attack Hadsten School near Aarhus with knives and bombs. We look at PET's warnings
