Við hefjum þáttinn á því að líta út úr húsi með Henný Hafsteinsdóttur minjaverði, til að ræða Dugguvog 42, hús sem Gunnar Guðmundsson byggði fyrir G.G. hf. Húsið er hluti af listasögu borgarinnar því Gunnar fór í samstarf við enga aðra en Gerði Helgadóttur sem útfærði vegglistaverk á Dugguvog 42, innblásin af vélum og bílavarahlutum. Hilmar Örn Agnarsson, kórstjóri Söngfjelagsins, lítur við í hljóðstofu, ásamt kórfélaga og höfundi nokkurra jólalaga sem samin hafa verið sérstaklega fyrir kórinn, Hjörleifi Hjartarsyni. Tilefnið er síðstu jólatónleikar Söngfjelagsins sem Hilmar Örn stjórnar, en hann stjórnaði á tímabili 10 kórum og á að baki sérlega farsælan feril sem organisti og kórstjori. Ragna Sigurðardóttir, myndlistarrýnir Víðsjár, fjallar í dag um tvær yfirstandandi sýningar, sýningu Eggerts Péturssonar í Hafnarborg sem ber nafnið Roði og málverkasýningu Huldu Vilhjálmsdóttur í Laboutique.is á Mýrargötu í Reykjavík.

Are you enjoying this? Are you not? Tell us what to do more of, and what you'd like to hear less of. The Reykjavík Grapevine's Iceland Roundup brings you the top news with a healthy dash of local views. In this episode, Grapevine publisher Jón Trausti Sigurðarson is joined by Heimildin journalist Aðalsteinn Kjartansson, and Grapevine friend and contributor Sindri Eldon to roundup the stories making headlines in recent weeks. On the docket this week are: Icelandic Made A Must For Hospital StaffAll staff at Landspítali are expected to be able to speak Icelandic according to the hospital's newly approved language policy. These requirements will first be applied to nurses, nursing assistants, and medical residents. Better Icelandic proficiency means higher pay.New Hospital Being Built, But Will There Be A Helipad?The most expensive building in Iceland's history, a new hospital in Reykjavík, will be opened in 2030 according to plans. However, issues remained unsolved regarding a helipad for said hospital. In an interview this weekend, minister of Health Alma Möller told RÚV that the plan is either to build a helipad on top of one of the buildings of the new hospital, or to acquire a plot of land near by the hospital, probably near the BSÍ Bus Terminal, for that purpose. Two Tourists Rescued  North Of Torfajökull On Saturday night two tourists, driving god-knows-how  north of Torfajökull in the Icelandic highlands, got their Suzuki Jimny stuck in the river Dalakvísl. The two SARS teams sent to rescue them took eight hours to do so.40 Years Of TV News On Weekends OverSýn, which used to be known as Stöð 2 until recently, announced Friday, that the TV news on their station would be no more. The network, founded in 1986 as the first non-state owned TV station, has been facing financial troubles recently, as have many media companies. The announcement , that also brought with it news of layoffs, added to an ongoing discussion about the dire financial straits media companies in Iceland find themselves in.Thanksgiving Is Becoming Popular In IcelandRÚV reported that more turkey is being sold at this time of year than before and that celebrating Thanksgiving seems like it is becoming something Icelanders do, along with celebrating Halloween. Dorrit Moussaief Mugged In LondonFormer First Lady of Iceland, Dorrit Moussaief, was, according to her own instagram #mugged in #London, this weekend, calling the incident, appropriately, a #crime. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SHOW SUPPORTSupport the Grapevine's reporting by becoming a member of our High Five Club: https://steadyhq.com/en/rvkgrapevine/You can also support the Grapevine by shopping in our online store: https://shop.grapevine.is------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is a Reykjavík Grapevine podcast.The Reykjavík Grapevine is a free alternative magazine in English published 18 times per year, biweekly during the spring and summer, and monthly during the autumn and winter.

Útlit er fyrir að slagur um oddvitasæti Sjálfstæðisflokksins í Reykjavík geti orðið býsna harður. Guðlaugur Þór Þórðarson, þingmaður Sjálfstæðisflokksins og fyrrverandi ráðherra, íhugar alvarlega að gefa kost á sér í leiðtogakjöri flokksins í lok janúar, leiðtogasæti sem Hildur Björnsdóttir, núverandi oddviti, ætlar ekki að gefa svo glatt eftir. Freyr Gígja Gunnarsson fer yfir mögulegan leiðtogaslag sjálfstæðismanna í Borginni. Mikið hefur verið rætt um ofbeldi á Íslandi undanfarin misseri - og ekki síst hafa verið áberandi áhyggjur af hnífaburði ungmenna og hann talinn vaxandi. Alvarlegustu ofbeldismálin, sérstaklega þegar börn eiga í hlut, vekja mikinn ugg og þau hafa verið óvenjutíð undanfarið. Helgi Gunnlaugsson prófessor hefur rannsakað afbrot á Íslandi um áratugaskeið og skrifar í grein í nýjasta hefti Skírnis að brýnt sé að greina þróunina og vandann sem við er að etja - en bendir á að auknar áhyggjur af afbrotum og ofbeldi séu ekki nýtilkomnar og í opinberum gögnum sé ekki að sjá að brotum fari fjölgandi. Anna Kristín Jónsdóttir ræðir við Helga. Þjóðarframleiðsla Evrópusambandsríkjanna vex um tæplega eitt og hálft prósent á næsta ári, og búist er við að verðbólga verði rétt ríflega tvö prósent. Þetta kemur fram í nýrri efnahagsspá sem kynnt var í Brussel fyrir nokkrum dögum. Meðaltalið felur hins vegar talsverðan mun milli ríkjanna og þýskur efnahagur verður áfram í kröggum. Björn Malmquist talar frá Brussel.

Aufgewachsen in Reykjavík, geprägt von der Weite Islands, fand sie in Berlin ihre künstlerische Heimat.

In this episode, Grapevine publisher Jón Trausti Sigurðarson is joined by Grapevine Editor-In-Chief Bart Cameron, and Grapevine friend and contributor Sindri Eldon to roundup the stories making headlines in recent weeks. On the docket this week are: Too Few Physicians In North IcelandIt was reported before the weekend, that the Akureyri hospital in north of Iceland was hardly operational because too few physicians currently work there. Three doctors quit because they were overworked. The situation is also connected to how hospitals and health clinics have been staffed over the past decade or so, which is to hire doctors as  short term contractors, a practice which has turned out not to be strictly legal. Staffing generally is a problem in the Icelandic health care system, and the Reykjavík hospitals have been running in an emergency mode for over a year.Half of Municipalities In Iceland Without Policy Towards Disabled PeopleFifteen years ago, municipalities in Iceland took over responsibility for services to disabled people. Since then, only half of them have even taken up a policy regarding those services. This has in legalistic terms, not been a problem, but just recently Althingi ratified the UN's Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, which in turn will make some of those lackluster policies regarding disabled persons, illegal.55% of Icelanders Want An Investigation Of The State's Special Prosecutor The office of Special Prosecutor, setup after the 2008 economic collapse, has had tumultuous moments, and now 55% of Icelanders want that particular office, to be investigated. This recalls some parliamentarians interest in investigating the investigation committee that wrote a report for Althingi in 2010, on the reasons for the economic collapse. Investigate the investigation is a perpetual motion machine, of sorts.CEO Of Beloved Hot Dog Stand Shares Questionable Videos On TikTokLocal news outlet Heimildin reported on Bæjarins Bestu CEO having reposted a TikTok video which defends the actions of one Adolf Hitler. The CEO in question said he did not remember reposting the video.North Korea Is A Prosperous Country According To One IcelanderLast week it saw a report on Icelander Kristinn Hannesson, who visited North Korea for the 80th anniversary of that country's communist party.

Það er smám saman að komast mynd á það hvernig flokkarnir í Reykjavík ætla að raða á sína lista fyrir sveitastjórnarkosningarnar í vor. Slagurinn um yfirráðin í borginni er á milli Sjálfstæðisflokks og Samfylkingar. Eva H.

Friðaráætlun fyrir Úkraínu, sem Bandaríkjaforseti lagði blessun sína yfir, er óþægilega í takt við hugmyndir Rússa að mati Erlings Erlingssonar hernaðarsagnfræðings. Það sé erfitt að upphafspunktur viðræðna sé óskalisti Rússlandsforseta. Hann efast líka um að Rússar myndu samþykkja tillögurnar. Staða Hafrannsóknastofnunar var til umræðu á Alþingi í dag. Sigurjón Þórðarson, þingmaður Flokks fólksins og formaður atvinnuveganefndar, hóf máls á þessum málaflokki og lagði spurningar fyrir atvinnuvegaráðherra.

Utanríkisráðherrar EES ríkjanna verða á morgun í Brussel á fundi ráðherraráðs Evrópska efnahagssvæðisins. Fundurinn er haldinn í skugga þeirrar ákvörðunar um verndarráðstafanir sem Evrópusambandið ákvað á þriðjudaginn. Björn Malmquist fréttamaður ræddi þessi mál við Þorgerði Katrínu Gunnarsdóttur utanríkisráðherra sem kom til Brussel í dag. Seðlabanki Íslands lækkaði í dagstýrivexti um 0,25 prósentustig.

Fundurinn var haldinn á heimili ráðuneytisstjórans að loknum vinnudegi. Forsætisráðherra segir ráðuneytisstjórann ekki hafa farið með nein skilaboð frá henni inn á fundinn.

Guðrún Hannesdóttir fæddist þann 18. júní árið 1944 og fagnaði því áttræðisafmæli sínu í fyrra. Hún nam listasögu í Lundi og síðar bókasafnsfræði við Háskóla Íslands, starfaði lengst af sem bókasafnsfræðingur og hafði meðal annars umsjón með bókasafni Myndlistarskólans í Reykjavík. Fyrsta ljóðabók Guðrúnar, Fléttur, kom út árið 2007, og sama ár hlaut hún Ljóðstaf Jóns úr Vör. Síðan hefur Guðrún gefið út 9 ljóðabækur til viðbótar, og nú í haust kom út hjá Dimmu eigulegt heildarsafn sem hefur að geyma fyrstu tíu ljóðabækur Guðrúnar. Guðrún skipaði sér seint á skáldabekk en segist kannski alltaf hafa hugsað á þá vegu, hún er lítillát en orð hennar vega þungt, skáldskapurinn djúpur og kjarnyrtur, tungutakið meitlað og myndmálið ríkulegt. Í ljóðum hennar birtist undrun og sannfæring um fegurð hins innsta kjarna og heilagleika náttúrunnar. Guðrún Hannesdóttir, skáld, er gestur svipmyndar í dag.

Are you enjoying this? Are you not? Tell us what to do more of, and what you'd like to hear less of. The Reykjavík Grapevine's Iceland Roundup brings you the top news with a healthy dash of local views. In this episode, Grapevine publisher Jón Trausti Sigurðarson is joined by Heimildin journalist Aðalsteinn Kjartansson, and Grapevine friend and contributor Sindri Eldon to roundup the stories making headlines in recent weeks. On the docket this week are: Icelandic Language DayTook place on November 16th. The celebrations sometimes felt a bit like a premature wake. Former PM Katrín Jakobsdóttir said in an interview - in English - with The Guardian, “Having this language that is spoken by so very few, I feel that we carry a huge responsibility to actually preserve that. I do not personally think we are doing enough to do that,” her co-author Ragnar Jónasson, in the same interview said “We are just a generation away from losing this language because all of these huge changes”. Organized Crime Doubles In A DecadeA new report released Friday on organized crime in Iceland. So Groups that engage in organized crime are now twice as many as they were ten years ago. These groups often have international connections,  they pray on immigrants, refugees and young people and engage in prostitution, human trafficking, theft, money laundering and drug trafficking.Pets Now Legal In Apartment BuildingsBefore, if you wanted to keep a pet in an apartment building, you had to ask permission from other residents. This is no longer the case after a new law was passed, leaving many an allergic person, scratching more than their respective heads.Mosquito takeover continuesLast week it was reported that more mosquitoes had now been found in Iceland. This time in South Iceland, in a horse stables, and off a different type than those found earlier this fall in Hvalfjörður. Centre Party embraces “Great Replacement Theory”Snorri Másson of The Centrist Party wrote an Op-Ed for Viðskiptablaðið stating that Icelanders were facing an imminent threat of being replaced by immigration. An article on Visir.is with a picture of Snorri holding one of his kids by at the podium of a Center Party event, then caused a stir. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SHOW SUPPORTSupport the Grapevine's reporting by becoming a member of our High Five Club: https://steadyhq.com/en/rvkgrapevine/You can also support the Grapevine by shopping in our online store: https://shop.grapevine.is------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is a Reykjavík Grapevine podcast.The Reykjavík Grapevine is a free alternative magazine in English published 18 times per year, biweekly during the spring and summer, and monthly during the autumn and winter.

On the docket this week are: Iceland Airwaves 2025Iceland Airwaves 2025 took place last weekend with hundreds of artist performing over three day in 8 venues in downtown Reykjavík. The Reykjavík Grapevine reviewed every single show. Check out the coverage on our website. Time DelayOur neighbors in Greenland are changing their clock in order for people to squeeze more sunlight out of the day. This has woken up the discussion in Iceland from a sleep of some years. Should we move the clock, or not?SARS And RacismIceland's SARS have been doing their annual fundraising rounds of selling the so called “Neyðarkall” or “Emergency man”. This year the man of emergency brown of color, in memory of one Sigurður Kristofer, who tragically suffered a fatal accident last year, while training with SARS. This has sparked some negative discussions, or at least according to the father of one 19 year old SARS volunteer. Otherwise no report of people complaining about the color of the man of emergency have been reported, but this seems to have sparked enough outrage that the man of emergency has been selling like never before.Berm-in Out The Private Sector,Iceland's minister of finance, discussed the idea that perhaps the privately owned energy company HS Okra, who's Svartsengi powerplant has been saved fro lava by very expensive efforts of building berms, paid for by the State, should share in the costs. The CEO of HS Orka has found this suggestion to be “surprising”. Mexican standoff between Minister of Justice and Chief of PoliceWe reported on questionable and costly outsourcing of the Chief of the Icelandic police last week. What has ensued is a stare down, where Minister Of Justice is hoping the Chief of Police will resign. Which then actually ended while we were recording this show, with the Chief of Police stepping down.Listener's questionsWe also answer some of these.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SHOW SUPPORTSupport the Grapevine's reporting by becoming a member of our High Five Club: https://steadyhq.com/en/rvkgrapevine/You can also support the Grapevine by shopping in our online store: https://shop.grapevine.is------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is a Reykjavík Grapevine podcast.The Reykjavík Grapevine is a free alternative magazine in English published 18 times per year, biweekly during the spring and summer, and monthly during the autumn and winter.

Are you enjoying this? Are you not? Tell us what to do more of, and what you'd like to hear less of. The Reykjavík Grapevine's Iceland Roundup brings you the top news with a healthy dash of local views. In this episode, Grapevine publisher Jón Trausti Sigurðarson is joined by Heimildin journalist Aðalsteinn Kjartansson, and Grapevine friend and contributor Sindri Eldon to roundup the stories making headlines in recent weeks. On the docket this week are: Snowpocalypse, Iceland VersionTuesday saw a record snowfall in Reykjavík, for October that is, breaking a record from 1921, with 27 centimeters of snow in one day.  The snowfall resulted in massive traffic disruptions in Reykjavík, both because of the copious amounts of snow, and because  not all drivers had managed to change to winter tires. We used to think Icelanders could drive in snow. That myth has now been shattered.National Police Commissioner Spends 160 Million ISK On “Advice” From A Single PersonThe National Police Commissioner, Sigríður Björk Guðjónsdóttir, has found herself in potentially job ending circumstances, after RÚV revelled she had been buying the services from a single company over the past 5 years, for 160 million ISK, which is roughly 2.7 million ISK a month.  The company in question, Intra, is a single person operation whose only employee is a Þórunn Óðinsdóttir. The tasks she did ranged from buying office furniture to introducing “lean management” to the police offices, to helping move the office of the Police Commissioner between locations. Government Announces Housing Policy PlansAs often discussed on this podcast, the Icelandic housing market is fucked. Last week the government announced their ideas to “fix” the market. These include; Building 4000 apartments in a new suburb in Reykjavík, deregulating building regulations, giving funding to non-profit, housing companies. The government also plans to tax empty building plots, decrease AirBnB availability, increased taxes on rent and sell of copious amount of state owned real estate. Fewer Sheep Than Humans In Iceland, For First Time EverThe Icelandic sheep population has dropped by a 100.000 in the past 10 years, meaning that there are now “only” 350.000 sheep in Iceland. This also means that there are fewer sheep than people in Iceland, which has never ever happened before in the history of Iceland.Former Prince Andrew And Naming Royals In IcelandicIceland has the somewhat idiosyncratic policy of giving foreign royals Icelandic names.

They had to be towed from there by SARS. The Last Criminal Case Following the 2008 Economic Collapse, Resolved.The last Icelandic criminal case in relations to the 2008 banking collapse was resolved in 2021. However, one case in Luxembourg remained and that case was finally finalized with a settlement in a Luxembourg court last week. The case in question, called the Lindsor case, had been under investigation for 15 years and had to do with the bank Kaupthing buying up bonds from Kaupthing's employees, just days before the bank collapsed in October 2008.The Icelandic Housing Market Freezes OverFollowing a recent Supreme Court ruling on inflation indexed housing loans, all the major Icelandic banks stopped issuing such loans.
