Danish municipalities caught using Google Translate in child protection cases

In Denmark, municipalities handling child protection cases have faced criticism for using Google Translate to communicate with non-Danish-speaking families in situations as serious as child removal cases. In one instance, officials warned an Ukrainian refugee mother that her children could be taken away if she didn’t comply with an action plan by pushing a smartphone through the mail slot in her front door and letting the Google Translate app play the message machine translated to Russian. Later that night all her children were forcibly removed.

She had become unable to take care of her children after suffering a mental breakdown when learning about her husband being severely wounded in the war. For six months leading up to the removal of the children, a for-profit company hired by the municipality had sent social workers to assist her and assess her parenting skills. The social workers did not speak Russian or Ukrainian, instead they communicated with the family in English, a language the mother doesn't speak, or through Google Translate. The mother did not understand what the purpose of the visit was or what was required of her.

According to Statistics Denmark, 44 Ukrainian children has been removed from their homes by authorites, either with or without the parents' consent. There are no statistics on the use of Google Translate in these cases but state media DR knows of at least three instances where authorities used machine translation.

Legal experts say this practice violates Danish law, which requires that authorities communicate in an understandable and accurate way with parties in child welfare cases, typically requiring qualified interpreters. Human rights advocates warn that relying on Google Translate risks misinterpretations that could isolate vulnerable families and lead to family separations without due understanding.

Municipalities claim that machine translations are mostly used in low-stakes interactions with citizens but defend the approach, citing a shortage of interpreters, but critics argue that automated translation is insufficient for such high-stakes interactions.

Xi Jinping and Biden to meet in Peru amid transport strike in the country

Presidents of China and the United States participate in the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Forum in the Peruvian capital. Apec aims to promote the free exchange of products between member countries. Biden and Xi are expected to discuss the war in Ukraine, protection against cyber attacks and communication between the two countries' militaries.

Trump has already announced that his Secretary of State will be Marco Rubio. He will be responsible for guiding US foreign policy and is in favor of putting pressure on China. As a senator, he advocated aid to Taiwan, measures to restrict Chinese commercial operations in the United States and punishments against Beijing for the way it treats Hong Kong and the Uighur minority.

While the meeting between the two is fraught with tension over the question of what Trump's stance will be in the US-China trade war, the summit is also taking place in the midst of a general strike by Peruvian transport workers. Demonstrators closed several roads in the country and gathered in the capital Lima to protest and march peacefully.

This is the second strike by Peruvian transport workers in a month. In October, Peruvians held a 72-hour general strike to demand government measures to guarantee the safety of taxi drivers, truck drivers, bus drivers and transport workers in general. They denounce a series of extortions and murders committed against these workers by criminal groups, which have resulted in 9 workers being murdered in these conditions.

According to the government, 5,600 soldiers have been deployed to operate on the roads and 13,000 police officers are working in the capital on behalf of Apec. This is the third summit the Peruvian city has hosted. The country's Congress has also authorized the temporary entry of 600 US military personnel to work during the summit. Until the publication of this report, the cities of Cusco and Puno had seen the biggest protests. These two cities are strategic for access to Bolivia.

The demonstrators are calling for Law 32.108, which changed the definition of organized crime in the country, to be overturned. The regulation was approved by Dina Boluarte's government and determined that a group of three or more people “with a complex structure and greater operational capacity to commit serious crimes, with the aim of obtaining, directly or indirectly, control of the value chain of an illegal economy or market” would be considered a criminal organization.

Russian Emergency Minister Aleksandr Kurenkov arrived in Cuba to strengthen diplomatic relations and support the Caribbean island after the impact of the recent hurricanes.

Argentine President Javier Milei announced the suspension of former President Cristina Kirchner's pension and widow's pension, following the confirmation of her conviction for corruption. The decision represents significant savings for the government, according to information from the Casa Rosada.

The suspension generates savings of 21,827,624 million pesos per month. The amount is equivalent to approximately 110,000 reais, according to spokesman Manuel Adorni. During Milei's term in office, Argentina will not allocate funds to any person convicted of corruption and who has tarnished Argentina's honor and dignity. Manuel Adorni

Cristina Kirchner said in a statement that her conviction is the result of legal and media persecution. She maintains that she never practiced fraudulent administration during her term as president. The former president said that the decision shows “the little dictator” that has always been inside Milei. “Do you want to team up with the judicial mafia to persecute me too? Are you so afraid of me? I'll tell you that the dictator Videla was afraid, and very afraid. But you give me nothing but pity and shame,” she said in a post on X.

There was a big UFO hearing in Congress today? Some wildly fun stuff came out of it like Lauren Boebert questioning witnesses on her belief in basically Atlantis and hybrid human-alien super people lmao incredible. Also fun quote from Luis Elizondo, a former intelligence officer and DoD official apparently (lol) in this NPR article on the hearing:

"Let me be clear: UAP are real," he wrote. "Advanced technologies not made by our Government — or any other government — are monitoring sensitive military installations around the globe. Furthermore, the U.S. is in possession of UAP technologies, as are some of our adversaries."

I honestly think our timeline is dumb enough not to exclude the future of the US going to war with China over accusations of it harboring extraterrestrial technology lmao the savages can’t possibly have better tech than us without help from the underwater aliens!!
