The text started by reiterating America's claims over Greenland. Donald Trump said the world would only be safe if the US had total and complete control over Greenland. He then questioned why Denmark currently had sovereignty. He said there were no documents to support this, and it was just down to the fact that a Danish boat landed there a few centuries ago. Rather ominously, he said plenty of American boats had landed at Greenland. And yes, as you say, he went on to say that because Norway hadn't given him the Nobel Peace Prize,

He didn't have to think purely about peace when it came to foreign policy decisions. Now, I should emphasize Mr. Trump did say that peace would remain a predominant consideration, but nonetheless he made clear his thinking had changed because Norway hadn't given him the prize. As you say, it's particularly odd because it isn't the Norwegian government that gives it. It's an independent committee. The Norwegian prime minister, Jonas Gasterus, says, look, I have repeatedly tried to explain to Donald Trump it's not us, but it seems the message didn't get through.

It's hard to understand, isn't it? I mean, as so often in explaining Donald Trump's stance, I think political analysis will take you a certain amount of the way, but you do need a psychologist. I will have a go. I think it's partly because of his relationship with Barack Obama. Donald Trump really was contemptuous of Barack Obama. He was part of the birther movement, which claimed completely falsely that Barack Obama had been born abroad in Africa and therefore wasn't allowed to be president.

What did Barack Obama do? He had the temerity not just to be elected, but to be re-elected. He got the Nobel Peace Prize. Many think Donald Trump's thinking is, if it was good enough for Barack Obama, it's good enough for me. You can't overestimate how much he wants this. He's actively lobbied for the prize. This just isn't the done thing.

Last week it emerged that the woman who did get the Nobel Peace Prize last year, the Venezuelan Maria Machada, flew to Washington and presented Donald Trump with her Nobel Prize award. And there he is grinning, holding up this award as if he won it.

Just for comparison, if last year's winners of the Pulitzer Prize for journalism for some reason decided that they'd been a terrible mistake and really the journalism award should have gone to Paul Moss, they could turn up at the office and hand over the medal to me. But the fact is that wouldn't mean that I'd won. And yet Donald Trump seems to act as if it does. This really is a top issue for the U.S. president.

Yleensä tehtävä tapa tehdä tehtävä elokuva, jota me oppiimme, oli, että on yleensä kolme sopimusta. Yksi ensimmäisessä, toinen toisessa ja toinen kolmessa. Ne rauhoittuvat, ja isompi on kaiken kaiken. Sanoit, että kasvatat suurin osa rahaa ensimmäisessä sopimuksessa. Ja nyt he sanovat, että voidaanko saada isompi ensimmäinen viisi minuuttia? Haluamme, että ihmiset pysyvät kiinni. Se ei olisi pahaa, jos olisit kertonut sopimuksen kolme tai neljä kertaa dialogissa, koska ihmiset ovat olleet huoneita, kun he katsovat.

Olen itse pelkännyt siitä, että minulla on melko vaikea huoneellisuus, mutta yritän yrittää, jos aion laittaa elokuvan, jotta se voi olla hieman rauhassa, jotta voin laittaa elokuvan toisella ruumalla tai jotain. En halua, että televisiota ei ole niin paljon. Ymmärrän ihmisiä, jotka laittavat televisiota taustalla, jolloin he tekevät monenlaisia asioita. He tekevät ironiaa, katsovat televisiota ja niin edelleen. Mutta nämä elokuvat, joita Netflix maksaa, he maksavat 100 miljoonia, 200 miljoonia dollaria näistä elokuvista.

And they're just giving up if they're just saying, well, it's probably just a second priority to everyone's phones at this point. So I think that's a real shame because they should be using that money ambitiously and saying, well, let's challenge the viewer and maybe see if they can concentrate and follow the plot. I guess as well, Hanna, on the flip side of that, they've spent all of that money. And if people are watching it and simultaneously on social media saying how good it is, maybe that's a good thing for their business model at least.
