Danish prime minister Mette Frederiksen has presented a three-party majority coalition that crosses the left-right divide and includes the leader of the Liberal Party and a former PM in key jobs.

It was the first time in 44 years that such a centrist government had been formed, bringing an end to the two blocs that have opposed each other for decades.
