<p>Peter Hummelgaard, Denmark&#8217;s justice minister, said that more resources to monitor car traffic on the road crossing would also be implemented.</p>
<p>He said: We are increasing surveillance, in part to increase security, but also to prevent hired Swedish child soldiers who come to Copenhagen to carry out tasks in connection with gang conflicts.&#8221;</p>

<p>One of Copenhagen’s oldest buildings went up in flames on Tuesday.</p>
<p>The blaze caused the 17th-century Old Stock Exchange to collapse, as passersby rushed to help emergency services save priceless paintings and other valuables.</p>
<p>Danish Culture Minister Jakob Engel-Schmidt said it was “touching” to see how many people lent their hand “to save art treasures and iconic images from the burning building.”</p>
<p>One man jumped off his bicycle on his way to work to help.</p>
<p>Brian Mikkelsen, chief of the Danish Chamber of Commerce, headquartered in the Old Stock Exchange, and his staff scrolled through an index of paintings to be saved.</p>
<p>The works were carried to the nearby parliament and Danish National Archives around the corner.</p>
<p>“We have been able to rescue a lot,” a visibly moved Mikkelsen told reporters. “It is a national disaster.”</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span class="story_dl">March 14 (UPI) &#8212;</span> Denmark plans to conscript women into its military, it defense ministry said, as it seeks to bolster its ranks while strengthening its armed forces.</p>
<p>The Nordic nation announced plans Wednesday to implement changes to its conscription policy that will permit women to be drafted, increase the length of service from four to 11 months and see the number of conscripts jump by 300 to 5,000.</p>
<p>Denmark&#8217;s Armed Forces is undergoing an &#8220;historic strengthening&#8221; and an increase in soldiers is needed to staff operational units, which is requiring it to rethink its conscription model, it said.</p>
<p>&#8220;Unfortunately, the security policy situation in Europe has become more and more serious, and we have to take that into account when we look at future defense,&#8221; Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen said in <a href="https://www.fmn.dk/da/nyheder/2024/regeringen-vil-udvide-og-ligestille-varnepligten/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a statement</a>.</p>
