«Breaking News» Denmark builds a wall across its border with Germany to keep out wild boars

Denmark has begun erecting a 43.4 mile (70-kilometer) wall along its border with Germany in a bid to keep out wild boars.

The move aims to prevent the spread of African swine fiver, which could put the country's pork industry at risk.

Work on the fence, which is expected to be up to 5 feet (1.5 meters) tall, began today in Padborg, a city 136 miles (220 kilometres) southwest of Copenhagen.

The wall was authorised by Danish lawmakers after the government announced that Denmark's pork exports to non-European Union countries could be affected by African swine fever.

The industry is worth £1.2 billion (11 billion kroner) annually.

In 2016, total Danish pork exports were worth about £3.46 billion (30 billion kroner). 

Unlike swine flu, African swine fever doesn't affect humans but it can be deadly for domestic and wild boars.

This can in turn cause massive losses for farmers.    

Critics say the £3.50 million (30 million kroner) fence will harm wildlife and is a symbolic gesture tackling a largely non-existent problem.   

Danish officials have admitted that wild animals could, in theory, still pass through the gaps in the fence where it crosses highways, roads and streams.

No cases of African swine fever have yet been reported in Germany, although some have been reported in the neighbouring countries.

German news agency dpa reported that Jan Philipp Albrecht, the Agriculture Minister of the German state of Schleswig-Holstein, said the disease is 'a serious threat for animals and the pig market.'

According to reports, however, he added: 'We have significant doubts about the usefulness and necessity of a fence between Denmark and Schleswig-Holstein.'

The European statistical agency Eurostat said there are some 150 million pigs in the EU and 40 percent of them are in Spain and Germany, with significant numbers also in France, Denmark, the Netherlands and Poland.

Denmark is the only EU country where pigs outnumber people, with 215 pigs to every 100 residents.

US President Donald Trump made the idea of a solid wall between the American border with Mexico one of the key points during his presidential campaign in 2015.

'I would build a great wall, and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me, and I'll build them very inexpensively, I will build a great, great wall on our southern border,' he said.

'And I will have Mexico pay for that wall.'

Yesterday, Mr Trump tweeted: 'Build a wall and crime will fall!'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
