Does anyone know how to make a few screen prints of the arrival to the dinner yesterday evening?

A documentary of the visit to Saudi Arabia from DR1-TV.

Given the destination of this particular visit, it's of course critical and not the usual "hallelujah, here we come" documentary. But it's IMO informative and balanced as it should be, unlike the republican newspaper Ekstra Bladet, where you almost get the impression that it's the CP Couple that are the real Villains(not SA) and EB's priority is not Women's or Human rights first, but the abolition of the Monarchy:-)

Anyway(if the Foreign Ministry should read this:-), I hope it will be a good period of time before they have an official visit to a country of a similar nature. I don't think this visit was good for couple and they have probably gotten some scratches on their plate:-)
