Documentary
Karine Claassen traveled to Greenland and returned with two episodes packed with unique and surprising insights into the lives of Greenlanders. In the human interest series "Greenland is Ours," she gives them a voice and a face.
Donald Trump wants to buy Greenland. The Danes and NATO are adamant. But what do the Greenlanders themselves think about this? Karine Claassen travels to the world's largest island in search of an answer. She discovers that the Greenlanders are very proud of their identity, but also struggle with it. Colonization by Denmark has left its mark. And in a strange way, Trump is now bringing them closer together again. Karine begins her journey through Greenland with Stan, a Flemish man living in the capital, Nuuk. His Greenlandic friend, Rico, immerses Karine (sometimes literally) in some Danish and Greenlandic customs. In Sisimiut, Karine sets out with Tupaarnaq, one of the few female hunters in Greenland, on a very special hunt.
Greenland longs for independence, but first it must learn to stand on its own two feet. The threats from America are therefore a wake-up call. Greenland possesses enormous, largely untapped mineral wealth. The future may look bright, but at what price? Are the Greenlanders willing to abandon age-old traditions and customs that make them unique, but may also hinder their future? In Qaqortoq, Karine sets out with chef Salik. He invites her to a Greenlandic meal at his home, along with his American partner, Julia. He also takes Karine to Narsaq, a small town at the foot of a highly sought-after mineral-rich mountain. His niece, Avaaraq, is fighting against the opening of a mine there.

Urix is a foreign affairs television newsmagazine aired Monday to Thursday night on the Norwegian television channel NRK2, a subsidiary channel of the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation. The first show aired on 2 September 2002, and is produced by the same crew as Dagsrevyen. The title is a play on the word Utenriks, meaning "foreign". The current presenters are Christian Borch and Annette Groth. Former presenters include Bjørn Hansen, Sigrun Slapgard and Gunnar Myklebust.
Barry Ovis is Parliamentary Private Secretary to the Minister for European Affairs, Sir William Mainwaring-Brown. Sir William has a very active libido and often gets up to non-portfolio activities. Ovis has to cover for him (usually very badly), and misunderstandings then pile on top of misunderstandings.
After years away from the CIA, Elizabeth McCord is pulled back into the political arena. The newly appointed Secretary of State is tough, fair, and smart, driving international diplomacy, wrangling office politics, and circumventing protocol as she negotiates global and domestic issues, both at the White House and at home.
In Greenland, a climate meeting for the Arctic Council is in the process of agreeing on a new and historic climate agreement that prohibits all environmentally harmful oil drilling in the area when the political advisor to Sweden's Foreign Minister Elsa suddenly disappears during a visit to a research vessel.
Driven was a motoring television programme launched by Channel 4 in 1998 as a rival to the successful and long-running BBC series Top Gear. The style was similar to its rival, but with additional features such as the "Driven 100", a road test of three cars in the same class, where each car would be given marks for qualities such as practicality, desirability and cost of ownership. The car with the highest total score would be the winner. The programme launched with the concept that the presenters should interact with each other rather than present items on their own, as was then the case on Top Gear. The first series also featured a "headquarters", a racing team truck, set on a former air force base at which cars were put through their paces. These concepts resurfaced in the reborn Top Gear soon after.
