Nú politisku flokkarnir hava tikið undir við linjuføring 1A fyri Suðuroyartunnilin - úr Djúpadali til Sandvíkar, so er greitt, at vegurin til Djúpadals skal vera gjøgnum Sandsbygd og serliga náttúruøkið har.

Bruce Springsteen is an American music legend. Songs like “Born to Run” and “Born in the USA” have echoed through ballparks, dive bars, TV shows, and politics for decades.That's why his new biopic, “Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere,” is unique. Instead of reckoning with The Boss' glittering legacy, it focuses on a darker period of his career starting in 1981.Played by Jeremy Allen White, Springsteen finishes touring his album “The River,” rents a house in New Jersey by himself, and turns his focus inward to grapple with his past and write a new album, “Nebraska.”The 1A Movie Club convenes to talk about the film.What has audience reception been to the movie? And what did "The Boss" have to say?Find more of our programs online.

More than 400 bills challenging longstanding public health practices, including vaccines and milk safety, are making their way through statehouses across the country.According to an Associated Press investigation that tracked said legislation, these bills would do everything from ban certain types of immunizations to making the sale and consumption of unpasteurized milk more accessible.Anti-vaccine bills are by far the most common. At least 350 of the 420 bills were related to vaccines. Some 11 states have already adopted more than two dozen laws restricting vaccine access.Who are the highly organized groups behind this wave of anti-science legislation? And how do these bills fit into the broader dismantling of the country's public health system?Find more of our programs online.

Hurricane Melissa is on track to make a direct hit on Jamaica today, with rains and winds already lashing the island. Melissa is a category five storm, with winds clocked at up to 175 miles per hour.

A Hitler-praising group chat. A government official with a self-proclaimed “Nazi-streak.” A swastika flag in a sitting U.S. representative's office.Those are a few of the racist, antisemitic forms of speech and expression tied to notable Republicans in recent weeks. Vice President JD Vance downplayed outrage over some of these incidents as “pearl clutching.”Meanwhile, President Donald Trump signed a memo designating groups like “Antifa” and Black Lives Matter as terrorist organizations. It's part of the administration's larger effort to crack down on what it calls a widespread left-wing conspiracy to carry out acts of political violence.In this installment of “If You Can Keep It,” our weekly series on the state of our democracy, we talk about the Trump administration and the fine lines between hate speech, violence, and political dissent.Find more of our programs online.

The government shutdown is now the second longest in the nation's history, and federal workers missed their first full paycheck this week. Negotiations between Republicans and Democrats seem to be going nowhere.Following a federal court's approval, the Trump administration is one legal hurdle away from getting the green light to send National Guard troops into Portland, Oregon.

A stroll down the supplement aisle is a walk filled with hope. One pill offers stronger hair and nails. Another promises better memory (which will help when you have to remember to take all these pills). And if you added just one more, you might be able to finally recapture the energy of your teenage years.But how true are these claims? Currently, the Food and Drug Administration does not approve the contents or the labeling dietary supplements before they hit the shelves.Around 75 percent of Americans take a supplement, including Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. He once said he took so many vitamins he couldn't remember them all. But RFK Jr., who champions supplements and other alternative medicines, is now pushing the FDA for stronger regulations.What could that mean for the supplement industry? And why are so many Americans turning to health alternatives today?Find more of our programs online.

Last year, Americans spent more than 300 billion minutes on navigation apps, like Waze or Google Maps. The GPS systems in our pockets have come a long way from the first known map, carved into a mammoth tusk 30,000 years ago.But even with satellites tracking us and the ever-changing Earth from the skies – digital maps aren't fact. Errors can show up and are sometimes as old as maps themselves. The phantom island of Sandy Island appeared on Google Maps until 2012, when Australian scientists sailed to its supposed location and found only open ocean.Mistakes on maps were sometimes intentional, sometimes not – but every single one tells a bigger story. How and why did it get there? What does it reveal about the creator of the map and the world around them?We sit down with Jay Foreman and Mark Cooper-Jones, better known as the Map Men on YouTube, to talk through these questions and more.Find more of our programs online.

SPECIAL EPISODE:This week, we dive into the heart of storytelling and community as we gear up for the 30th annual Ojai Storytelling Festival, taking place this Thursday through Sunday (October 23-26) in the beautiful Ojai Valley. I'm joined by two remarkable voices behind the festival: Kara Martin Lakes, the Executive & Artistic Director of Performances To Grow On, which produces the Festival; and Regi Carpenter, internationally acclaimed storyteller and master of ceremonies for the weekend.What we talk aboutKara walks us through this year's schedule — community-free events, workshops, the iconic Sunset Soirée celebration, the Story Slam, and how the festival is being brought into the heart of the town. Ojai Story Fest+2Ojai Story Fest+2Regi reflects on what it means to tell a story — and to hear one — in our modern age, and why the spoken word still has the power to move, to heal, and to connect. Ojai Story Fest+2Ojai Story Fest+2A candid conversation about facing financial hurdles: how the Festival is navigating the loss of a key $25,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), and what it says about sustaining arts in a small town in today's environment.How the Festival is intentionally reaching into the community — schools, youth outreach, inclusive programming — and why Ojai is the perfect place for this kind of gathering. ojaiwomensfund.org+1A moving (and hilarious) moment from Regi: a story about her mother buying a piano — how a seemingly simple act became a rich metaphor for memory, legacy, and resilience.Tips for listeners: how to get the most out of this year's festival, whether you're coming for one show or planning a whole-weekend pass.And: Why you might consider adding a story to your toolbox — not only as a listener but as a teller.Why this mattersThe Ojai Storytelling Festival isn't just another arts event. It's a gathering where stories live out loud under the oaks, where children in our valley hear voices from around the world, and where the tradition of the spoken word reminds us that despite technology, despite the hustle, what really brings us together is story.

The Trump administration has cut federal funding to colleges and universities it says don't align with conservative priorities. And now, the White House says it will reward schools that follow in its ideological footsteps.Earlier this month, the administration sent a list of demands to nine schools. Officials are calling it the “Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education.” Its stipulations include ending considerations of race and sex in admissions and hiring, capping international student enrollment, and limiting what faculty can say about certain issues.Five institutions — Brown University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the University of Southern California, the University of Pennsylvania, and the University of Virginia — have rejected the proposal. The others have yet to comment.Trump's compact is the latest chapter in the story of how his administration is trying to exert influence over higher education. In March, the White House canceled $400 million in federal grants and contracts to Columbia University over allegations of antisemitism.In this edition of “If You Can Keep It,” our weekly series on the state of democracy, we talk about higher education and what's at stake if academic freedom is compromised.Find more of our programs online.

Last month, the Trump administration started blowing up boats off the coast of Venezuela, calling it part of an “armed conflict” with drug cartels. The White House's so-called “war on cartels” is increasingly centered on Venezuela, not Mexico or Haiti, where most of these organizations actually operate.The president is linking these cartels to the Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. The South American strong man has indicated he's ready to declare a state of emergency in his country if things progress much further.So, are these actions about drugs, or are they really about regime change?Find more of our programs online.

As part of a special issue this November, The Atlantic tasked writers and historians with looking at the country's founding era to find out what America's political thinkers valued at its beginning.The goal is to remind people in the U.S. about the abstract ideas enshrined in the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and other important revolutionary documents. And, how reconnecting with those ideals might help us as we struggle to keep American democracy together 250 years later.We discuss this edition of The Atlantic with two of its contributing writers, hear about why the founding of the country is relevant today, and where we might be going next.And we want to hear from you. How would you fill in the blanks for these four statements?1. “At the founding of the United States, some of the country's most important political values were BLANK.”2. “After 250 years of U.S. history, I would describe the country's *track record* of following through on those values and ideals as BLANK.”3. “Right now, an outside observer would likely look at our politics and say we value BLANK.”4. “When it comes to the United States as a country over the next decade or the next century, I want to see BLANK.”Find more of our programs online.

President Donald Trump promised to crackdown on immigration in Democratic-led cities using aggressive tactics like detaining people based on their race and deploying the National Guard to support Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.He deployed the National Guard in Los Angeles and Washington D.C. this summer. He launched an ICE operation in Boston.Now, he's escalating his crackdowns in Chicago and Portland.ICE has made more than 1,000 arrests in Chicago according to the Department of Homeland Security since it began what it's calling “Operation Midway Blitz” last month.Nearly half of the FBI agents working in major U.S. offices have been reassigned to immigration enforcement, according to newly released bureau data. What does this radical shift in law enforcement priorities mean for the cities at the center of the president's crackdown — and for the country more broadly?Find more of our programs online.

President Donald Trump threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act this week. He continues to clash with state and municipal authorities over the limits of his abilities to send Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents into American cities.Meanwhile, Republicans in Congress are eyeing their Democratic counterparts, looking for someone from the opposition to join them in voting for a bill that would reopen the government, more than a week into a shutdown.Former FBI Director James Comey was arraigned this week, pleading not guilty on Wednesday to charges that he lied to Congress, and saying he would move to have a court dismiss the case.Meanwhile, the first phase of a peace deal between Israel and Hamas was agreed to this week. But questions remain over how both parties will move forward with the details of the agreement.Despite a friendly summit between Russian President Vladimir Putin and President Donald Trump in Alaska in August, the Russian government is claiming that any headway made during that meeting has largely been undone.And after just 28 days, Sébastien Lecornu's time as France's prime minister came to an end this week.

It's been two years since Hamas fighters killed 1,200 people and seized more than 250 hostages from inside Israel.More than 67,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israel's retaliatory war. On Monday, Israeli and Hamas negotiators met in Egypt to discuss President Donald Trump's 20-point plan to end the war in Gaza.Over the weekend, thousands of Israeli citizens took to the streets in Tel Aviv in support of a deal to release the hostages and end the war in Gaza.What do we know about the U.S.-backed plan to end the war in Gaza?

How does hatred towards women relate to violence?We've seen more than a few incidents of political extremism and mass violence in the U.S. over the last few years.In the days, weeks, and months after acts like these, we seek motives. We try to understand why violence is perpetrated in hopes of preventing it in the future.One expert argues that in that search for answers – we're missing something crucial. Something that keeps us from addressing this violence and extremism head on. That blind spot is misogyny.We sit down with Cynthia Miller-Idriss. She is a sociologist and founding director of the Polarization and Extremism Research & Innovation Lab, or PERIL at American University. She's also the author of “Man Up: The New Misogyny and the Rise of Violent Extremism.” She joins us to talk about her book and latest research.Find more of our programs online.

The White House is continuing its mission to hollow out the federal workforce. The Trump administration has signaled that it will use the government shutdown to prompt and encourage mass resignations and layoffs.More than 150,000 federal employees plan to leave the U.S. government payroll this week. It's the largest single-year exodus of federal workers since World War II.For workers who opted into the deferred exit program, those resignations began on Tuesday. Workers who didn't take the buyouts were recently threatened with dismissal.We check in on the state of the federal workforce. What happens now that tens of thousands of these employees are leaving? And what's life like for those who remain?Find more of our programs online.

Many of us know that being outside feels good. Maybe it's for a short walk to the store. Maybe for a hike at a nearby mountain. Or maybe spending time at the beach with loved ones for a holiday.But did you know that a short walk in nature can improve your attention span by 20 percent? And that even fake plants have been shown to deliver health benefits? There are real benefits to surrounding yourself with the natural world. We sit down with the pioneer of environmental neuroscience, Marc Berman. He's out with a new book all about the science behind the benefits spending time outside called “Nature and the Mind.”Find more of our programs online.

NATO's airspace is busy these days. And not in a good way. That's especially true for member nations on the alliance's eastern flank.It's not supposed to be that way. In recent weeks, states like Poland, Estonia, Romania, and Denmark have seen drones or other aircraft violate their airspace. In some cases, these airborne craft clearly identify they're Russian in origin.Multiple countries have called on NATO to consult about what to do next. So, what's going on? What is Russia up to?Find more of our programs online.

President Donald Trump has, according to many legal experts, crossed the Rubicon.After years of railing against his perceived enemies and publicly threatening to use the government for revenge, he's pressured the Justice Department to bring charges against someone he hates despite warnings from top prosecutors.Late last week, a grand jury narrowly indicted former FBI Director James Comey on allegations that he lied to Congress in 2020. The 5-year statute of limitations was set to expire on Tuesday.So, how independent is the DOJ? And how much independence should it have? We talk about how the Justice Department is treating Trump's enemies and also how it's treated his friends.Find more of our programs online.Listen to 1A sponsor-free by signing up for 1A+ atplus.npr.org/the1a.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

A record number of people are being detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. And the conditions they're reporting have been described as cruel and inhumane.Last month, 60,000 people were detained by ICE, breaking a record set by the previous Trump administration. A Los Angeles Times analysis of public data found that more than a third of detainees have spent time in a dedicated facility that is over capacity.And now, county jails and ICE field offices are being transformed to fill those gaps. Jails held an average of about 10 percent of all detainees (7,100 people) each day in July, according to the Prison Policy Initiative.So, what fallout is the Trump administration's immigration crackdown having on ICE detention centers? What are the conditions in these centers like? And what legal options do detainees have?Find more of our programs online.
