1 00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:24,480 The tragedy with Alexander Kielland struck while optimism was at its peak in Olje-Norge. 2 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:29,440 On the helideck up on The Ekofisk complex allowed the doctors - 3 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,760 - simply ascertain that death had occurred. 4 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:36,200 Has the confusion been great in recent days, - 5 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:40,520 - is not the situation became easier in the last 24 hours. 6 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:46,800 There was little new to learn at the press conference, and the mood among the journalists was tense. 7 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:51,120 I think all the pressure and a lot of fear… 8 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:55,240 It is one of the worst the press releases I have seen. 9 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:56,000 Hello. I have a meeting with Reiulf Steen. 10 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,120 Do you have it? Yes, but there he comes. 11 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,120 Yes, thank you. Hello. 12 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:06,520 - We just want the government to take responsibility. -Yes. 13 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,720 Did you miss someone... out there? 14 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:18,600 My brother. But I'm here on behalf of all relatives. 15 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:24,120 I can assure you that we take this very seriously. 16 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:29,680 We struggle to understand why you have put the collection of the platform out to tender. 17 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:35,520 Yes, it ... I have to admit it is a decision in which I was not involved. 18 00:02:35,640 --> 00:02:40,800 No, but we need consideration to be shown... to the dead and the bereaved. 19 00:02:40,920 --> 00:02:46,520 Yes, it has certainly been a directive from our side that it must be taken into account. 20 00:02:46,640 --> 00:02:50,920 Well, but ... that's not what happens. 21 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,320 Come to Stavanger, and you will let's see how they hold up. 22 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:58,400 An American anyone has met at an airport, making a circus, - 23 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:02,480 - while my brother and 30 others were missing remains on the inside. 24 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:06,200 If something goes wrong, it sinks to the bottom and stays there. 25 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:10,880 Then the commission of inquiry does not get more answers to what went wrong either. 26 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:15,800 - It must be of interest to the government. -Absolutely. 27 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:23,480 They deserve to be treated with respect. They deserve a funeral. 28 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:31,280 Yes, I promise you, Kian… 29 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,800 That we should address this. 30 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,160 Thanks. 31 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:48,200 Getting nowhere with this now. We have to use the Port Act, and then the Ministry of Fisheries must step in. 32 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:54,320 They have no desire for that. There is a lot of control and expensive to reverse such a process now. 33 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:58,760 - It was posted a long time ago. - It has become the Labor Party's most important principle. 34 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,400 If in doubt, put it out to tender. 35 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:11,000 You? You know there is speculation as to whether it exists a genuine will to actually recover the wreckage? 36 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,840 -Who is speculating? - Everyone who understands that no one will pick up that bill. 37 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:19,320 There are 37 men left down there. It is our responsibility. 38 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,680 -Odvar wants a meeting. - No, I'm busy here. 39 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,800 It is important. 40 00:04:28,280 --> 00:04:31,720 - You want Bolle. - I didn't say I wanted Bolle. 41 00:04:31,840 --> 00:04:37,080 Take Bolle. Get the Ministry of Fisheries to look into the matter. 42 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,720 Hi, Bolle. Led here. 43 00:04:39,840 --> 00:04:45,160 I have a proposal for you that will cost lots of money and time. Are you ready for it? 44 00:04:45,280 --> 00:04:50,080 -Do you have those pastries...? -Yes ... I have them in the back here. 45 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,600 Hello, hello. 46 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:03,880 Yes, as you probably know, I have - 47 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,920 - suffered a lot with headaches lately. 48 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:13,200 There doesn't seem to be any improvement, and the doctor's conclusion, - 49 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:18,680 - so not my conclusion, but the doctor's, is that I need peace and quiet. 50 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:23,800 - Peace and quiet? -Yes. I have received a sick leave. 51 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,840 -What is the diagnosis? - One of them is cataracts. 52 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,920 - They haven't managed to get an answer to the headache. -Have they checked Hortons? 53 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,560 I don't really know what they actually checked. 54 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:41,160 - How long is this sick leave, Odvar? -Yes. No, I don't know that. 55 00:05:41,280 --> 00:05:46,840 -You don't know? -No. It says that Odvar needs peace and quiet. 56 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:52,040 What that entails may be a bit up to us. But the doctor now says what he says. 57 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:56,400 So the question becomes if I now will take a break over Christmas, - 58 00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:01,840 - or if there is a need for something more drastic. 59 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:08,960 Can the Prime Minister call in sick at all? 60 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:14,120 -Can't he? - I wonder if it is unconstitutional. 61 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,040 That I... 62 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:22,480 No, I really don't know. 63 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,320 - Is that it? - I can try to find out. 64 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:31,440 Who will take over as Prime Minister? when you call in sick? 65 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,320 I don't know if it's... 66 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:39,160 -Odvar, we can't say "I don't know" to everything. - Who will take over is a matter of discussion - 67 00:06:39,280 --> 00:06:43,200 - we don't need to take here and now. -Where and when should we take it? 68 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:47,800 Well, we can afford 20 seconds of pity with Odvar before we start raising our hands. 69 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:52,400 When you were on sick leave, I had to come in as acting chairman. It wasn't that popular. 70 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:56,080 No, so you think you're going in as Acting Prime Minister? 71 00:06:56,200 --> 00:07:00,920 I want us to have a concrete plan, so that there is no mess and conflict when it happens. 72 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:05,280 That's why we have this meeting, so Odvar can inform us, and so we can make a plan. 73 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:10,760 -And what is the plan? - First, Odvar must be allowed to inform us. 74 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:15,520 Vassbotn and I find out where and when we go out with this. 75 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:22,080 But until we do, it is crucial that we keep this between us. 76 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:26,400 I will not have the press speculating on this. 77 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:37,920 What do you know about Nordli's health? 78 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:43,800 Except that the eyes are on and this out of his head? 79 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,440 See here. He has been seen - 80 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:51,880 - in and out of Rikshospitalet recently. 81 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:57,280 - It must be allowed to go to the doctor. - Yes, then. I was just wondering if you had heard anything. 82 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:02,960 - Do you think it's serious? - You say that his eyes fall out of his head. 83 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:08,040 I have no doubt that the Prime Minister may have health problems but… 84 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,160 Is there something we should dig into? 85 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:16,400 At least we can try to find out what is going on here. 86 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:21,440 Can't we talk to Gro? She would have been notified if there was anything. 87 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,960 You shouldn't be too sure of that, actually. 88 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,760 But maybe it isn't such a stupid place to start. 89 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:40,360 Then we will take a look at the latest figures from Statistisk Central Bureau of Investigation when it comes to lower oil prices. 90 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:47,400 We have adjusted down the oil price forecasts by 10 USD since December. 91 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:52,360 Slightly higher oil prices going forward, low prices dampen supply. 92 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:58,520 Positive for international demand. USA, Europe, China and India. 93 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:04,480 But negative for oil-exporting countries. OPEC, Russia, Norway. 94 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,560 This gives relatively little impact to Europe. 95 00:09:08,680 --> 00:09:12,280 Weakened currency and high petrol prices. 96 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:20,080 Euro area fourth quarter: That's where we'll see a new rise in Germany, and this is broad. 97 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,920 - He is sick. - She confirmed nothing. 98 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:29,680 She is far too proper to confirm anything like that preferably. You must follow Steen and Nordli. 99 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:35,600 And if this is serious, you will see stress rashes crawl up their necks. 100 00:09:43,680 --> 00:09:47,400 I needed some fresh air. 101 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:52,600 - I hope you think it's okay? -You call this air? 102 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:59,880 I just think it's important that we get to clarify that... 103 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:05,520 If she takes over now, though it will only be for a short period, so… 104 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,640 Then she stays there. 105 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:12,040 It will not be a short period. 106 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:16,560 - If I resign now, I resign. -Yes. 107 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:22,640 Yes, I understand. Then I think it is important that we... 108 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:28,680 That we have an alternative ready before this becomes public, so that not only the press ... 109 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:32,960 They probably think that they just can point her out, right? 110 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,800 Yes, if you are not... 111 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:43,160 ... comfortable with the thought of to let her take over. 112 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:47,280 - No, my choice would be Bjartmar. -Yes. 113 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:53,760 - But we won't get him back, will we? - He's going to get the broadcast. 114 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:59,200 I know that AUF, - 115 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:03,080 - they had probably stood behind Førde. 116 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:08,320 Then comes the E-service to begin to mean things. 117 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:12,760 No, we need someone who doesn't slamming the doors like that. 118 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:18,120 Then we must be able to show experience when people ask why it won't be her. 119 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:24,120 And then we have to have LO with us. It is crucial. 120 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:29,080 I can ask Aspengren where LO is located. 121 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:33,080 If that's okay with you? 122 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:37,120 That they are informed about the situation? 123 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:54,640 We'll figure this out, Odvar. 124 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:59,600 It's going to be fine. 125 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:15,680 You know, I've actually gotten used to it not to have these kinds of conversations with you. 126 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:19,880 - No, well. - No, as you say yourself, this must not come out. 127 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,880 So "central votes in the party" should pretty shut up here. 128 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,800 Yes, of course. I totally agree with that. 129 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:33,800 Don't pretend it's nothing, please. I know that you have sat with that furniture dealer - 130 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:38,400 - and leaked crap about everyone you don't like. It is shameful. 131 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:42,080 What are you saying? Do you mean Engen? 132 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,160 Yes, are there more furniture dealers? 133 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:49,960 But... Yes, it's true that I have conversations with him now and then. 134 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,480 But are you now saying that this has been leaked? 135 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,760 Now you have to fuck me. I have heard you. 136 00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:02,160 Vassbotn has the tape in his office, there you guys planning how you guys are going to get me out. 137 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,680 What are you saying now? 138 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,760 Listen here. It is absolutely true. 139 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:15,360 I... He and I had a talk about that. 140 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:19,320 It was because LO was very clearly you had to go. 141 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,520 And it looked a lot like that, didn't it? 142 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:26,520 And I became the chairman forced to take that call. 143 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:30,560 Just like that you and I are standing and talking now. 144 00:13:30,680 --> 00:13:36,480 -But if those things have been brought up... - I can't bear to listen to excuses. 145 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:41,000 Let's just get done. 146 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,520 Go do your job. 147 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:19,000 The most important thing for both Odvar and Reiulf was to protect the party. 148 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:24,360 Find a prime ministerial candidate which could stand firm in tradition. 149 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:28,280 That's Gerhardsen's apartment, that one. 150 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,800 The one Khrushchev thought was a joke. 151 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:37,920 Reiulf had always thought that the symbolic value in to have a leader with such a modest standard of living, - 152 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:41,240 - was impossible to calculate. 153 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:51,720 - Einar! - He had also always thought that - 154 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:57,640 - the lady neither wanted nor could understand that token value. 155 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:05,480 It was one of many reasons why Reiulf was so intent on keeping her out of power. 156 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:10,440 In Reiulf's eyes, he was the only one left, that could save the labor movement - 157 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:15,320 - from the relentlessness of capitalist tyranny attempt to infiltrate the left. 158 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,040 Einar! 159 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,120 Einar! 160 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:39,520 He noticed that they were now on the brink. 161 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:44,160 The project was to be completed, and the Labor Party was to be cemented - 162 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:50,480 - as a capitalist party, with the labor movement's traditions as a mask. 163 00:15:55,200 --> 00:16:00,160 The Norwegian people will for the foreseeable future be offered an illusion - 164 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:04,880 - about a left-wing party that stands on them side of the hungry and the weak, but in practice - 165 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:10,720 - the hungry will only have two varieties of inhuman right-wing politics to choose from. 166 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:15,080 Regardless of the outcome of all upcoming general election - 167 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:19,600 - the interests of the capitalists will be secured. 168 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:27,440 The problem will be found anyway a competitive alternative to the dama. 169 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:31,240 When the only thing they have is a man people have forgotten the moment they hear his name, - 170 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,360 - it quickly becomes a bit difficult. 171 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:47,640 Rolf. If we at some point in the future need - 172 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:52,960 - one to take over as prime minister, are you ready for the task? 173 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:57,600 Should Odvar resign? Why do you ask? 174 00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:01,240 Do you want to answer the question? 175 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:07,400 -Well ...

So he's not sick? 322 00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:08,120 No, he's not sick. You have wasted our time and the trust in the Norwegian people. 323 00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:14,240 On behalf of the Prime Minister, I would like to clarify that he has no plans to retire. Idiot! 324 00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:29,480 Are you sure we're going to pull this off? 325 00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:33,040 What? 326 00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:38,560 I understand that you want to do things properly.

Or, I... 330 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:08,560 I've always known that, but I thought I had to focus on what burned the most. 331 00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:14,960 Nato ... Alta ... This here. 332 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:34,520 It shouldn't be that easy to think about something else. 333 00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:41,760 Arbeiderbladet prints a new front page. Picture of you and "no plans to retire". 334 00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:47,280 We have control over that. 335 00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:54,760 Be careful, we'll get control. 336 00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:05,960 No. We give up here. 337 00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:12,440 I want to go home. 338 00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:55,200 Had a bit of a guilty conscience for that with Odvar. 339 00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:58,200 Thought he was sick. 340 00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:03,000 Headaches were a thing of the past he used as an excuse. 341 00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:11,760 Suicidal headache, they call it. 342 00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:17,320 It feels like the eyes should pop right out of your skull. 343 00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:23,680 The pain is so intense that the brain turns off in self-defense. Black out. 344 00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:29,360 And if that doesn't work, then people do the work themselves. Hence the name. 345 00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:32,720 He has had it for several years. 346 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:39,280 When I heard that, I quickly understood that the man was not as weak as I thought. 347 00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:46,080 The guy was fucking tough. 348 00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:51,240 It has been necessary for me to take the consequence - 349 00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:56,800 - of the advice I have received from my doctor. 350 00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:04,800 I see myself having to to resign as Prime Minister. 351 00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:12,080 I remember today the Swedish poet August Storm. 352 00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:18,040 He suffered from a spinal cord injury which caused him inhuman pain. 353 00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:22,680 But... no one ever heard him complain. 354 00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:26,880 His most famous hymn is called: 355 00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:31,680 "Thank you, my God, for what has been". 356 00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:36,160 Hi, it's Ingjald.

They're not beautiful. 372 00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:59,200 Damn Danish. 373 00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:03,080 In my youth we advocated to be such a brat... 374 00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:06,560 Ivar? It's for you. From the party office. 375 00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:11,600 We all went straight to the floor. We had no legs to walk on. 376 00:37:11,720 --> 00:37:14,640 No, there were times. 377 00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:28,280 -What's going on? - Don't know. 378 00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:33,640 -Einar, what is going on? - People are at work. Longyearbyen, Porsgrunn ... 379 00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:36,800 AUF Rogaland, Sarpsborg ... 380 00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:41,160 -Does everyone say the same thing? - Still no coincidences here, Ivar. 381 00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:45,680 Odvar is forced by Jacobsen to advertise his departure, then we will be overwhelmed by this. 382 00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:49,400 Statements of support for Gro at the minute. 383 00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:57,240 We have to stop this before they... They run on... 384 00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:01,360 They have no shame, that is! It's a dirty game! 385 00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:03,880 The way I understood it at Reiulf, - 386 00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:08,000 - it wasn't just the A-press and aspiring state secretaries who had worked for this. 387 00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:13,200 -How do you experience the conflict with Hansen? -Ask after the 6-member committee's meeting on Sunday. 388 00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:16,880 -What do you think will be the outcome of that? -Thanks. 389 00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:21,320 "The elder statesmen" had worked behind the scenes. 390 00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:27,160 Gubbe Harlem, Gro's father. 15 years since he resigned as Minister of Defence, - 391 00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:31,960 - but still have weekly breakfast meetings with people like Gerhardsen, - 392 00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:37,360 - and "the usual suspects" in the sauna group and the E-service. 393 00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:41,520 -Hello! -Hey, hey, hey! Coffee? 394 00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:46,040 - Yes, thank you. -Not to me, please. The stomach. 395 00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:49,360 - I'll take a small one like that. - Just eat. 396 00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:55,240 I have been invited to a meeting with Trygve on Sunday. Any idea what will happen there? 397 00:38:55,360 --> 00:39:01,600 I am invited to the same meeting. I expect that you will be appointed as the new prime minister. 398 00:39:01,720 --> 00:39:07,240 - Yes, it may sound like that, then. -You intend to say yes? 399 00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:14,560 Are you going to say no? 400 00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:19,200 At least I don't want to be used as a breaking point in a new leadership battle. 401 00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:23,000 And if they knowingly and willingly goes behind your back, - 402 00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:28,080 - then I don't like it. -Does Odvar know that you are thinking this? 403 00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:31,520 I have not spoken Odvar, I have spoken to Aspengren. 404 00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:36,120 -On behalf of LO? - A bit unclear who it was on behalf of. 405 00:39:36,240 --> 00:39:40,080 -What is it? - Now I have to talk to Odvar. 406 00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:44,560 If he thinks that Rolf will say yes without it being right, this will just be a mess. 407 00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:48,800 You don't have to do that. You don't know what Rolf is thinking. 408 00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:51,720 You haven't spoken to Rolf. 409 00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:55,280 - I'm talking to Rolf now. - I'm not talking to you. 410 00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:59,880 If they want to solve this in a messy way, then they just have to do it. 411 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:05,960 And then they can live with the consequences. Whatever they become. 412 00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:12,320 So while Odvar senses peace and no danger, has the Harlem family made their plan that ... 413 00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:17,600 - Yes? -Yes. Beate wasn't here, so I... 414 00:40:17,720 --> 00:40:21,520 The meeting at Trygve's, where we will appoint a new prime minister... 415 00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:26,000 - We don't talk about this now. -You intend to appoint Rolf? 416 00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:31,680 Yes. And if you have objections, we will it up at the meeting. Now I'm a bit busy here. 417 00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:37,320 But you haven't spoken to Rolf. It does not seem that this has been sufficiently clarified. 418 00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:42,760 I know you like to manage details everything that happens, but this is handled. 419 00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:46,040 Can you at least have a chat with him? 420 00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:50,080 Stop getting bogged down in these things. It doesn't suit you. 421 00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:55,600 If you don't want to mess up, I recommend you don't blesses lobbying and press assassinations - 422 00:40:55,720 --> 00:40:59,560 - which affects my health. 423 00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:02,600 The shift is handled. 424 00:41:02,720 --> 00:41:07,960 I know you would like this chair, but you can wait your turn. 425 00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:14,000 Yes, well. No, but that's okay. See you on Sunday then. 426 00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:25,800 Why is he sitting here? 427 00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:32,080 Can we get him out? Please be kind. Now we have had enough of this and all that stuff with you. 428 00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:35,840 Out! Get out! 429 00:42:23,240 --> 00:42:26,440 You can turn on the lights. 430 00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:40,680 -Welcome, welcome. - Good day, yes. 431 00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:46,560 It's a bit freezing cold here, so that there are some rag socks in the basket there. 432 00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:53,880 Now we're looking forward to it, Randi. 433 00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:57,480 There they came, yes. I almost splashed. 434 00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:01,280 There are some rag socks there. 435 00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:04,520 -Rolf. -Good day, good day. 436 00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:07,640 - Good to see you. - Nice, nice. 437 00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:12,360 - Then I think we are full. -Yes... 438 00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:22,240 We have two things to talk about today. The first concerns the party's relationship with the A-press. 439 00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:27,360 After they have recently appeared hostile to the party, - 440 00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:32,480 - and led by a management who performs directly irresponsible editorial judgement, - 441 00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:36,160 - then I would like to submit to the central board - 442 00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:40,400 - that Ap withdraws its representative from the board of A-pressen. 443 00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:43,520 Yes, it is supported by me. 444 00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:49,360 I think it is absolutely crucial with an independent press. 445 00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:54,560 But it is also my impression that it feels necessary to distance oneself from that direction - 446 00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:58,080 - in which Jacobsen has managed the editorial staff. 447 00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:04,200 Good. Does anyone have any objections that we withdraw our representative from the board? 448 00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:10,040 Yes. As for point two for the day, - 449 00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:14,400 - is the question about it incoming prime minister. 450 00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:19,360 On this occasion, I would like to thank Rolf for you to come here today. 451 00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:25,760 Yes. This need not take a long time. But it is also the case that it is my belief - 452 00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:30,880 - that when I resign from my position as Prime Minister, is it Rolf who should take over. 453 00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:36,520 - I support that proposal. - The proposal is supported by LO. 454 00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:42,280 - The party secretary also supports the proposal. - Yes, I also support this. 455 00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:52,160 Yes, given that Rolf wants this position and thank you, I will also support the proposal. 456 00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:56,720 Yes, if I am to speak, I would like to announce that I - 457 00:44:56,840 --> 00:45:02,480 - is not a candidate to take over as Prime Minister. 458 00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:07,080 I think the process has been undemocratic. 459 00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:12,800 - But, Rolf ... You have said yes. - No, I haven't. 460 00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:18,480 In my view, Gro should be offered the position. 461 00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:23,360 I would further suggest that it at the same time an assessment is made of - 462 00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:26,880 - whether she should also take over as party chairman. 463 00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:32,880 As this process is enough a proof of a party leadership that is unable - 464 00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:37,880 - to run an orderly and democratic process. 465 00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:41,720 No, but Rolf, then. 466 00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:46,520 That is why you are your own candidate. 467 00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:53,040 Having a prime minister from the leadership makes it very complicated to choose new leadership at the national meeting. 468 00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:59,680 Because it will be obvious at the national meeting that Gro should also become chairman? 469 00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:05,800 As it appears today obviously that she should be prime minister? 470 00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:09,240 I don't think it sounds complicated. 471 00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:14,000 Beyond that, it's probably not necessary that I participate in this meeting. 472 00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:17,520 You may excuse me. 473 00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:39,160 No, but then ... We'll see. 474 00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:45,720 It was probably a suggestion from Rolf that Gro should become prime minister. 475 00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:50,680 Would you be willing to, Gro? 476 00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:55,560 -Yes. I will. -Yes. 477 00:46:55,680 --> 00:46:59,520 For my part, I am positive about the proposal. 478 00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:05,480 This agrees with those inputs which the party office has received from the local teams... 479 00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:09,640 The assembly should perhaps have had some time - 480 00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:14,160 - to thoroughly assess whether there are other... 481 00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:18,200 Has anyone else expressed their interest? 482 00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:26,720 -No. - Are there others that have been suggested? 483 00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:35,440 We can consider whether we... 484 00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:39,640 Now we have told the press that the decision will be taken today. 485 00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:44,160 Should we suddenly go out there now? and say we need more time? 486 00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:52,040 Does this mean you are negative to my candidacy? 487 00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:56,720 Just good to get it cleaned up before we begin to consider further. 488 00:47:56,840 --> 00:48:01,800 I would also be interested to hear any justification. 489 00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:12,440 Maybe the party chairman will ...? 490 00:48:14,240 --> 00:48:16,960 Yes. 491 00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:25,760 We are probably at the end of the road in this conversation. 492 00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:32,760 If there is no one else Anyone have any input? Any objections? 493 00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:39,520 No, it... 494 00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:51,760 Then it's... settled. 495 00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:58,320 What is settled? 496 00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:05,480 What we agreed on. 497 00:49:08,080 --> 00:49:13,880 I think you better say it out loud, so there are no more misunderstandings. 498 00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:37,120 Gro Harlem Brundtland ... becomes the new prime minister. 499 00:50:52,480 --> 00:50:57,400 Can you tell us what happened at the meeting? Do you have anything new to add? 500 00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:04,000 Are you the new prime minister? 501 00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:11,200 As you know, the decision will be made public within a short time. Now it's dinner.
