Allright,
Here are the subtitles:

LEGO today announced, that the group expects to reach a round zero result for
this year. The announcement comes after the record-loss of last year at 1,4
billion Danish kroner. And now, the group has spotted a whole new source of
income. There are more and more adults, that plays with Lego:
(Scene shifts to Brickfest)
(Someone speaks about transportation...)
Samuel Rachlin: (correspondent)
It is serious issues, that are being discussed here at the fifth annual
Lego-fest (Brickfest). The models are not only to be assembled, they also have
to be transported back and forth. (Giant spaceship-moc in the background) And
when you have used 9 months and 50,000 parts for a model, transportation is not
something to joke about. Children and adults of all ages gathers here to show
their creations and to play. But it is the adult Legofans who dominates among
the 200 exhibitors and model-builders.
(Part with John Barnes??...)
Samuel Rachlin: (while robots are battling)
It is only moderate physical violence, that are practized here in Lego’s version
of sumo-wrestling. (scene shifts to train-layout) The passions are however real
enough for all age-groups.
(Part with Steve Hassenplug...)
Samuel Rachlin:
All genres within Lego-activity are present here. There is a special place for
Lego-film enthusiasts and you can also get into Lego comic books. Castles and
fortresses have their own room, but the biggest attraction is the train-layout,
which is build and assembled by 12 clubs from all over USA.
(Part with James Trobaugh...)
Samuel Rachlin:
LEGO has experienced the same problems in USA as they have on other markets with
falling interest in the product and shrinking market-shares. The Adult legofans
therefore attracts attention in Billund:
Ronny Scherer: (TLC-guy)
Today it is a very important part of our strategy to nurse adult enthusiasts and
help them grow their influence.
Samuel Rachlin: (in the picture)
It may be, that there is war, increased terror-awareness and a presidential
election going on, but that is in a world outside. Here in the Lego-world it is
only about having fun and to let your fantasies and dreams run loose. Samuel
Rachlin, TV2, Washington.
Cecilie Beck: (host)
The adult legofans are organized in a nation-wide organisation, which has
roughly 3,000 members. And with this it is now the end of the late news. Thanks
for now.

That’s it.
A shame they didn’t mention the Danish AFOL-group Byggepladen, that would have
been nice! ;)
