Every week, the foreign news desk at RÚV produces a radio programme, Heimskviður, about foreign affairs and world events. Here on RÚV English Radio we strive to bring not just Iceland but RÚV to the world in English, and many of the interviews that are recorded for Heimskviður happen in English. Occasionally here you can hear some of those interviews, in full.

No one should ever have to be alone, say the founders of a new app that allows users to connect with AI partners. Swedes Eva Leach and Gabriel Sabadin have worked in the tech industry for years and have taken part in many joint projects. Their new app is called Baibe - Leach and Sabadin want to use the app to try to combat loneliness, which affects about one in every three people globally.

Eva spoke to RÚV's Róbert Jóhannsson.
