- Welcome back to the RVK Newscast! Today, Valur Grettisson takes a walk around Nauthólsvík and brings you all of the latest in Icelandic news: a minister accused of racism, Covid deaths, and a complicated custody battle. Check out the full description for links and more info!
The Minister of Infrastructure, Sigurður Ingi Jóhannsson, has been accused of making a racist remark towards the manager of the Association of Icelandic Farmers, Vigdís Hasler. The incident took place at a conference of the Icelandic Farmers’ Association last Thursday, where Sigurður Ingi was reported as having remarked that he did not want his photo taken “with this black one”, referring to Vigdís, who is a woman of colour.

Deaths in Iceland due to Covid-19 have officially exceeded 100. However, the rate of infection is dropping, with fewer people in hospital and none currently in intensive care with the virus.
Iceland has welcomed over 600 refugees from Ukraine since the war broke out, more than a quarter of whom are children. Read our feature article from our April issue about Ukrainian refugees in Iceland, and Icelanders in Ukraine, here: grapevine.is/mag/2022/04/01/t...
An Icelandic woman has been accused of abducting her own children. The woman brought her three sons on a private plane from Norway, where her ex-partner, who is also Icelandic, had full custody of them.

Hello Valur! I enjoyed the walk with you and Polly. Even though it was a very wet one! (I was the gal with my cousin who is well versed in Saga history! ). If anyone else reading this comes to Iceland I highly recommend the walking tour with Valur and Polly! It is very educational and enjoyable! and you have fun with Polly throwing the Frisbee. She loves it!
Thank you for last time.
-5 and there's people going in the sea for a swim this is why love Iceland and Rvk thanks Valur
so truly appreciate your newscasts. I started watching only a few weeks ago as I was preparing to travel there. will be there in one week. but I totally see myself watching in future as you are engaging and interesting and informative....love love Polly :)
Bravo to your cinematographer, never once saw their shadow.
Hi Valur...thank you for acknowledging comments on the 'lava' newscast. I love to see Polly...she's adorable. She is so patient with her Frisbee when you continue to ignore her.
Same here, hahaha, love Polly ❤️
You guys are so cool. Especially Polly and the swimmers. ... How can it be cold if hot chicks are going swimming ???
Maybe they need to cool down because the Vikings are so hot 😂
Hahaha
Had my 1st EINSTOK White Ale ! Great beer.
Was a white ale. Saw it at my market here in Naples Fl. Knew they are a sponsor of yours so i bought a 6pk. Very good beer , will pass the good word onto my friends & family.
I wonder if Valur noticed the swimmers in the background. They made his complaints about the cold a bit odd. Polly is always fun to watch. What strange news you had today...
It's a geothermal beach. The water is warm.
@@1ACL not in this part of the ocean which she entered. Here it is icecold.
@@andreatripmacker8277 at the top of the title of this video, it is pinned at NAUTHÓLSVÍK GEOTHERMAL BEACH. So I assumed it was that.
@@1ACL yes that’s right, there is also the geothermal beach close to it. The part the swimmer entered is next to it.
@@andreatripmacker8277 Oh, OK.
Polly didn’t want to keep picking up the frisbee off the asphalt so she stayed on the grass where she could. But she really loves her frisbee catch game.
Listening to the podcast associated with this story, it occurs to me that in English, announcing your sponsors Lava Car Rentals specially equipped for Iceland's F roads can have humorous perhaps unintended meaning in English. "Dirt and gravel" or "mud and gravel" roads is, at times, an "F" road for sure.
Thank you for a look at the intricate politics in Iceland around the ongoing growth of racism. Which we are seeing world wide due to wars caused by climate change.
Great newscast...and now to the Supernatural Iceland.
Hahaha, yeah!
I like your style.
Beaches just like Waikiki…LOL…Beautiful…Moody day in Iceland… Bob in U.S.A.
WOW AN HONOR TO BE MENTIONED. sad reasons though. BUT WOW IM HYPED. My favorite news roundabout
I was blown away by your story. Stay Strong and Keep Fighting!!!
So much happening right now. Unfortunately that incident with the minister of infrastructure - shows we still have a ways to go to on fighting racism.
I really loved today’s Podcast and hope that Kyana will win and be able to stay. I knew it was hard for Americans to immigrate to Iceland but I was surprised of the difficulties she has encountered. I hope her fight will create changes because I too want to eventually move to there, as well. 🙏🏼
I know you tried to avoid having Pollý jump into the water for the frisbee, Valur. But I loved it - she gave me a reason to smile after a rough morning at work. Love Beautiful Pollý. ❤️
We love Polly! 😍 Throw the flipping frisbee more often Valur!!! 🤣
Valur - "It's gluggaveður at the moment"; camera pans to the second person seen during the video in a swimming costume striding to the sea for a swim......
At least you can't blame Polly for jumping in the sea. Bad throw there Valur! 😂
With negative temperatures and the wind chill it can be pretty brutal cold, "biting into the bone," especially after sundown. That is not though a very common feeling in Rvk, since it is relatively mild. Hope spring comes after this cold snap
Water + Frisbee + Dog = Soggy Doggy....BTW 82f here and windier than where you are....
Hi, Valur! The more you do these videos in English, the more your accent is fading! Its still strong, but you are getting much easier to understand! LOL!
What you mean we havent seen this since ww2 what was the cyprus war in 1974? And yugoslavia in 1999?
Damn who are those hot guys at 5:45?
Also…
Racism bad!
perlan in bakground up on the hill
what are the red things 11th minute?
They look like ‘Instrument Landing System’ (ILS) aerials. These would be the ‘localiser’ component projecting the centreline of the runway they serve by means of two overlapping radio beams. The second component (provided by another structure not visible in the film) provides the ‘glidepath’ guidance (a similar radio-based system which defines a safe and exact ‘slope’ profile to the runway threshold).
Signals from the two components are integrated on a combined display used by the pilot to fly the aircraft to a precise position from which a landing can be made ( within various legal limits/restrictions) when conditions preclude a safe visual approach.
All you engineers out there please feel free to correct me as it’s been 34 years since I last worked in an Airport ATC tower. Being in Iceland, it might be just a structure for air-drying fish😉.
@@jonjames3252 takk
iceland the best
Politics ya sticky wicket problem they all act like children he say, she say
Just read racist, and not watching video. Had enough of racist this and that.
"Had enough of racist this and that." - well, go hide in a closet, but the rest of us will keep struggling to make changes.
@@TheDanEdwards oh yah, another one of those all talk, no action. What have you done besides claim to fight racism, but actually do nothing. Talk is cheap.
@@themerrigans2734 Well, what do you suggest, Batman?
Because you are white.
The heated open-air swimming pools of Iceland are wonderful. But the sea takes some getting used to.
I have been fascinated lately with cold water "ice bathing" though I saw no ice... -2degrees, sunny or not, qualifies as ice bathing to me. It is definitely an acquired taste, but seems healthy and possibly addictive to those who do it. Valur said that it looked pretty but the weather was a bit unfriendly so I assume the swimmer 🏊♂️ was demonstrating evidence of her commitment. It is also curious that she was completely alone. Hmmmm...
Damn, she actually went into the water! That's so Viking.
