As an American I don't get to hear about the news in Norway from the American news media, so today I am very excited to take a look at this weeks current events and news stories happening in Norway right now. If you enjoyed the video feel free to leave a comment, like, or subscribe for more!
Egg shortages due to failed politics. Norwegian farmers were paid to produce fewer eggs, while import duties on eggs were increased. This government is particularly inept.
False. Norway wanted to keep a high production of eggs and donate any surplus to Africa. We were forbidden from doing this out of fear that it might damage the global egg market. That is why we had to cut back on egg production. It does not matter what kind of government we have because this is a restriction that is placed upon us as a nation.
@@jeschinstad Norwegian egg production "damaging the global egg market". Sure.
@@jeschinstad Donate eggs to Africa?!? Do we want to give them more diseases?
@@taakelur Are you stupid? EU regulations aren't exclusive to Norway.
It's actually been sold more eggs now than usual. Havn't seen empty shelfs in my city.
I’m from Norway, and I really love your videos! Keep going!
The crime rate in Sweden is number one in Europe, it is unfortunately affecting all the nearby neighbor nordic countries as criminal activity tends to spread out. I have noticed this clearly even if I just live in a small town in southern Finland. The rise of aknowledged police shortage due to rise of drug gang related and other kind of harsh criminality is a very true fact throughout the whole nordic region nowadays. The nordic countries are not the same safe and secure space what the public reputation of this region perhaps once back in the old days told the visiting tourists and you can definately read about it in public news of today. It is kind of a sad but true fact.😢
Yes, they've been doing it all wrong. You can't build ghettos and not expect rising crime. We need to be able to help the people we agree to help. Empty promises are worth nothing.
@@jeschinstad Also it goes a bit deeper than that. There are international crime "lords" and some of them have had connections to, for instance, Stockholm. Yet "nobody" takes action against these hydras and they will keep taking advantage of immigrants and asylum seekers unless more is done.
Has it become worse than France now? 😮
@@LeperMessiah2 There is a spike, but that's why we typically consider data over time. For instance, in 2011, the murder rate in Norway was comparable to USA, but that was caused by one man in one day. The current gang war in Sweden is very concerning, but it should be seen as an incidence. The country in general is still very safe.
@@jeschinstad ofc, I talked about France. I could have asked about Italy also but excluded it since it's primarily Naples that spikes that statistics. Sweden is more than Gothenborg and France is more than Paris.
I’m sorry that you have a hater watching and commenting on your channel, so I just wanted to say that I love your channel and reactions ❣️
Ja, han har holdt på i flere måneder nå, ganske tragisk oppførsel, best å bare la han bjeffe alene.
@@norXmalJa, det er nok best. Det virker som en mental greie 🙃
Sure it is not himself posting, or his brother?
@torivarnor Selvfølgelig. Men jeg snakker om en stalker som spammer kommentarfeltet på alle videoene hans og bare gjør det for å drive med personangrep. Det er ikke greit!
having a news-story in earnest about spring arriving made me laugh. So typical of Norway, nothing happens and all we talk about is the weather. 😆
haven't noticed the egg-shortage at all, not seen empty shelves in the store once.
The image in the article is ridicolous.
However my local store does have few eggs some days.
I've not had any problems myself and I eat egg & bacon every day.
WWhy does your heart go out to Norwegians? Have there been any problems here? Winter is not a disaster. It's a nice time of year.
If his heart should go out to someone, it is the people of the failed nation USA. Whatever problems we may have, it is tenfold in USA.
Why are you mad for him giving out his heart to Norwegians? It's a figure of speech.
North Dakota is possibly the only state in America that even approximates Norway's winter weather. Minnesota and South Dakota are pretty brutal, too.
@@5Gburn Wrong. Oslo winter temperatures can be compared to Chicago, without the ice-cold winds. Bergen and Stavanger are even warmer, and hardly gets snow in the winter.
Average/cold winter in Stavanger but only been 3 days with frost since mid February so not that cold. Spring been here for months. Have a great summer ☀️🤓
Ye and its normal that Kristiansand and Stavanger get shut down in winter during those 3 days, nothing new there hehe. They arent really used to proper winter.
Scotland here. I love this channel. Tell your hater to piss off
If you had looked at who shoots and uses knives in the east side of Oslo, none of them are ethnically Norwegian. These are our new compatriots who bring their culture, or rather lack of culture, into our country.
This is a big problem because in Norway we don't have any gangs that "own" areas and where they come from they "own" areas, so they think that the place is "ripe" for picking and therefore small wars start over who "owns" areas.
They do not have our culture which says that we all own the areas and therefore no one owns them.
My sons are half Arab and half Norwegian and they are often tried to be dragged into "property disputes".
Norwegians find it difficult to understand what this is really about and are therefore paralyzed.
That is why we need more police to break up the gangs and for the police to take back the land so that it does not belong to an ethnic race but belongs to all of us.
Ah, so that's how it is huh? owning turfs and all of that..
It's really not that black and white (literally). There is gang violence and turf wars everywhere, and it's not a matter of culture. Sure, ethnic groups tend to bring their culture as they move to different countries, of course. We did it, too. But gang violence, blood revenge, robbery, etc. happened here long before immigration was common. You can almost say that it was part of our culture.
@@shmisung lol
@@shmisung Nice gaslighting.
The gangs are pretty multicultural though. So this ‘brings their culture to Norway’ is probably a too easy explanation. This kind of generalisation and ‘We vs Them’ argumentation will only make the gangs even bigger in the end of the day. We want to believe everyone has the exact same opportunity’s in Norway, but that’s not the reality.
Edvard Munch are a famous Norwegian artist. Died in 1944 and his works sell for Billions and the Scream is well the most know and the most expensive paintings ever sold for a Billion on Sotheby's Auction.
Longer and colder winter doesn't necessarily mean worse winter. It could mean better and real winter with snow and possibilities for skiing, not these mild and wet winters that we have had more of later years.
4:30 The mentality is a bit different here and perhaps more unified. "Beggars" they are not.
They will receive more from us "whether they want it or not".
It is _what has to be done_ and while I am not disappointed for support in itself, I feel we can always do more.
I'm not one that wants to be called decadent and self-centred either.
There were more than enough eggs BUT because everyone suddenly started to buy a lot more eggs (cheap and healthy and a huge egg tradition in Easter) + illness in Europe, and a weaker NOK (crown) - the eggs were ordered locally and not imported as much. hehe That did not cover the sudden interest, but now we are going back to normal.
It was empty of all eggs with the exception of organic eggs in my convenience store in a medium-sized Norwegian city this week. I was there early in the day, so the few packages of organic eggs probably disappeared quickly.
4:54
It's people in Norway that's disappointed that we're not helping with more money.
Remember that for us this is a existential treat.
6:53
"Commonplace" doesn't apply to most of Norway.
But it does apply to our capital.
And there's worrying trends in other big cities too.
The Swedish gang crime is spilling over our borders.
9:26
Teisen, not Tisen.
Remember, the "e" is often a separate syllable.
As for the first guy, he was a mental case and was handed over to the mental health authorities.
9:47
"Gate" is not the English word "gate" and neither has the same meaning nor pronounciation.
12:55
The "c" in Munch is pronounced more like a k.
Yeah, winter was just "what winter is supposed to look like". The real problem is really that we've had milder winters for quite a few years now. Its supposed to be cold enough to walk on the ice during winter. As for the ukraine thing, the rest of europe is being super weird about it all. They're basically going with the narrative that we're supposed to be filthy rich and should therefore pay more, not bearing in mind that we're a population of 5.5 million people (meanwhile poland and germany is some 35 million people each) most norwegians shrug their shoulders about it. And yeah, we've had higher armed crime rates lately. Oh and the farmers is a relatively simple thing. We have a farmer cooperation, which makes it so that farmers no longer compete with each other but can just sell their produce at a depot. The problem is that the middle man there have gradually increased their own earnings, going from a fair cut to basically 90-95% of the profit. Then they bribe government to look the other way while they make strange news articles which mislead where the problem lies. The middleman thing is initially a good thing, however it creates some weird problems that are difficult to solve because the ones creating the problem has all the power in the situation.
We have eggs in Hardanger😊
Yes spring is here
The egg shortage is, as I understand it, because the regulator made too low forecasts causing the farmers to lower the population of hens. Now we suffer here in Norway until the farmers can get more hens going. I experienced the same in the US two years ago. At that time there was a similar shortage. I don't know the case of it, but eggs were really really expensive. Hotels served bacon, but no eggs.
Was a gang related shooting a bit under two weeks ago, not more than 5 blocks away from me, ironically it was the same "victim" at the same place, albeit the previous time was two years ago.
the kebab shop one? I read how he got shot at the same place last year.
@@Forktoucherz Yeah, that's the one, I thought it was two years ago, did I remember incorrectly?
@@norXmal idk. the article said it was last year i think
I can say that I really don’t adapt well to the winters 🥶
It's still cold in the nights and some places still have frost in the mornings
Oslo is a terrible place to go if you are travelling. Its just getting worse and worse there😞 police are trying to get these scum of the streets but its the damn judges who let them go or not giving them sufficient punishment. Its really sad. Glad i live here in a small town in the south-east
Look at what's happening in Western nations, and you'll see that the promotion of lawlessness and economic instability is a coordinated, global effort.
That's a load of bullcrap. Oslo is a great place to travel to. If you want to see the *NATURE* we have to offer, it is not the best place. For everything else, it is univocally the best place.
And the gloom and doom-post makes it obvious you've never lived here :) I've probably travelled and lived more in other places in Norway than you and I'm from Oslo.
(8 years LIVING other places and a crap ton of exposure through friends, families, FHS, studies, travel, mountaineering, work, interviews, road trips, family/friend huts and summer houses, festivals, etc etc etc the rest of my life)
Farmers are no longer able to survive on the land and the animals, those who operate on a small scale have to give up. And as the country is with valleys and fjords and mountains, there must be small farms here in Norway.😢
Farmers have always gotten subsidies, after the "farmer's period" which ended at the end of the 1800's.
There's not that much arable land, and in addition we're an industrialized nation (well. MODERN now).
Most of agriculture is subsidized (as it is in Finland although they have more arable land) however it is a hard working life, no way around it, and the subsidies are needed.
Yeah, someone tried to stab me while I was walking my dog a while back. It’s still very safe here, but stuff like this happens here too.
Really? Was it a robbery attempt or someone just attacking you randomly, and why would he go after someone with a dog.
@@More_Row Just some random guy trying to attack me. I was walking down a narrow path and as I was about to pass him he suddenly pulled a knife out and started chasing me. He was clearly under the influence of some hardcore drug of some kind, so getting away was pretty easy. But it was still scary. I don’t know if you’re Norwegian but it happened in Buran in Trondheim. Lots of mentally unstable people and drug addicts around the area. It’s pretty safe but you should watch your back walking around there at night.
I only want to correct you on your pronunciation of the artist Edvard Munch, it sounds strange, but it has been a debate on how he himself used his surname, and after a little back and forth, we ended up with "MUNCK", but the ‘CK’ Is said with a soft sound with your tongue curled up with the backside touching your back teeth and the tip of your tongue curling up, but not touching your palate. And I know you have problems with our vocals, but the ‘U’ is something between a an ‘O’ and and an 'U’!!
Good luck with testing 😂 Lots of love, Eva, Oslo Norway
I'll be going to Spain for two weeks in June to thaw up my frozen bones after this winter. Nothing grand, friends of the family just have a small, very unassuming appartment in the South. It will involve swimming in the Med, daily. A few km per day. And possibly some Rioja. And Spanish fooood :)
Same, going to Spain in about 17 days, in Andalucía.
Some immigrants are model citizens, some are not.
Norway could and should have given much more suport to Ukraine. In november 2022 The Norwegian state had made aboute 80 billion dollars more in oil and gas income then what the goverment said in the state budget that was passed in desember 2021. The only reason was that since Ukraine got invaded the oil and gas price skyrocketed. Except gun manifactories and some oil countryes, Norway have made a the biggest gaine off the war in Ukraine. Therefor Norway could and should have given much more help to Ukraine. SLAVA UKRAINE
Ære være Ukraina.
All the eggs are at my house, I just bought 40 😂
Farmers struggles mostly because of the inflation in Norway, especially around electricity and fuel consumption, which in all regards shouldn't be an issue in Norway since we are self sufficient. Tons of food went to waste because they couldn't afford the electricity for storage at the same time as fuel prices they need for equipment became really expensive due to the electrification of Norway. The issue is farmers already earn more then average Norwegian person and still demand more so food prices also rises meaning people with average or less salaries cant afford their own living. We support the farmers but at the same time this is an issue enforced by the government currently in power with their politics which is why there is so much hate towards them. We provide to other country for less then we provide for ourself which is an huge problem.
I may be missing other factors around the issue in this comment.
I`ve had no problem getting my eggs, but I have seen empty (egg)shelfs sometimes.. however Not when I needed eggs myself.
If it gets too bad tho,, we will just do what we did the last time, with the butter crisis.. drive 90 minutes to Sweden and buy it there.. its cheaper as well 👍
(this is not a solution for All of the contry tho.. but in the south-east, with the highest population density, no problem..)
Cause of global food stores that they have cheaper stuff-eggs
The Syrian guy was walking past a group of kids while they were making jokes and laughing. For some reason, he thought that they were mocking him and got angry. Nobody got hurt, but he was carrying a knife so he got arrested. It's not really a global news story if it's a news story at all.
Sounds like a very peaceful and well-adjusted individual.
Farmers are protesting all over the world, shortages are happening in the same way, it's to do with collapsing the economys
Tyler, most crime (at least in Oslo) is gang related. So of course it's scary if you're not prepared for it, and most common folk won't be, we just have to trust in our compatriots.
But most people are shielded from this and will never see it (even though it happens).
There are a political reason for the shortage.
In Norway the farmers «tecnically»are the owners of the prosessingingindustry Gilde(meatprosesing),
Prior (eggs and polyry)
Tine(milk and deary)
The farmers formes coops to ensure, that they had resipients for theyre produce, and to ensure awalability in a geographical challenging country.
This organisations have groen out of controll and are now downpriceing the prices to the farmer and maximicing the prices to the consumer.
The egg crise is caused buy Prior contracts with the farmers, that they do not pay for produce that are more than the contracted purchage agrement, which are bases on Norwegian consumption,
To get the best price for theyr product Prior got a export contract in which to fullfill they could not deliver domestic, on top of that Norwegian farmers have lobbyed(years ago), a ban on importen eggs due to salmonella. ( common in eggs in Europ and US)
Commonplace? Well, i'll say this. I've never felt unsafe in Oslo. It's peaceful and compared to other major cities, it's safer in general.
Hvem kender ikke Edvard Knaske? 😏
Do not have problem bying eggs... 😊 Western Norway... 😉
Again scrolling past the info about farmers and egg.....
Nononono...this haven't been the longest and coldest winter in decades here in Norway. That is BS. I have seen it in the news over here too...but that is not true. I don't remember wich year, but about 10 years ago we had 2-3 weeks around -40C. And four years ago...I believe...I'll find a link to that one. Can't find it. But it was like 1,5 meters of snow, trees broke in the middle and fell into the roads and over powerlines. We didn't have power for days several times and couldn't go anywhere. This winter have not been the hardest for decades. Maybe in Oslo and south of it, but that is not all of Norway. :)
one of *
Been average cold here in Stavanger, March was mild and been like 3 days with frost since late February.
@@AverageNorwegianGamer I live in the central east, in Innlandet fylke. This winter was totaly ok. But then again, before moving here, I lived many yers in places that are known for either a LOT of snow or being very cold. When in Svullrya we had, as I said, -40C for over 2 weeks. And in Skrukkelia in Hurdal we had at least a meter of snow every winter. To me this winter has been...actually nice. :)
Jeg måtte google Svullrya og Skrukkelia , trodde du kødda med meg , men....😂 Ha en fin dag
@@AverageNorwegianGamer Nope, det gjorde jeg ikke. :) Og i like måte. :)
We have eggs!!!!
Come May, you beautifully mild. :)
Most of Norway it not like Oslo
Use nrk nyheter
I love ya mate❤
The stabbings and stuff happening in Oslo isn't that big of a deal tbh. Most of it happens within criminal enviroments. Normal people in the streets are not the targets and have no need to be scared. And 90% of it happens in the far northeast which is the "ghetto" part of town. Even those parts have nice areas so. It's heavily exaggerated in the news.
Munch is pronounced Munk, not Muntsj
Norway earn so much money on this war..... Oil an gas
Hi there!
Hahaha yes a year🤣🤣
It's not the Ukrainians who are disappointed, but Norwegians. We are increasing our support, but we would like it increase it more. My personal opinion is that the money we make from the war does not belong to the Ukrainians, but that it also shouldn't belong to the Norwegians. It should belong to peace in general. Blood money should always be earmarked for opposition against evil and not mixed with normal money. So we should take the blood money, because that's how the world works, but the question is how we spend it.
It's pronounced "munk" not munch :D
Shortages are not being shown on minesteam media
Munk is the way to pronounse it not munsj
Immigration really is destroying our little country.
Yep and if u say it out loud ur deemed a rasict the ultimate gaslight. Soon more immigrants in Oslo than Norwegians.And so many ppl are falling for this gaslighting. If i was in charge of close down border and kick em out
At the moment it is more like immigration to Sweden causing problems in Norway.
_INTEGRATION_ is the problem if not done right, not immigration.
We are dependant on immigration for growth.
Tyler
He never mentioned US assistance to Ukraine. This is about Norway and Norwegian news. Stay on topic 🙄
you are a sad little person.
Who is Munch?
LOL -- goldfish forgot who he is, how to pronounce his name...
