In 2020, Uma Mirkhail got a firsthand demonstration of how damaging a bad translation can be. A crisis translator specializing in Afghan languages, Mirkhail was working with a Pashto-speaking refugee who had fled Afghanistan. A U.S. court had denied the refugee’s asylum bid because her written application didn’t match the story told in the initial interviews. In the interviews, the refugee had first maintained that she’d made it through one particular event alone, but the written statement seemed to reference other people with her at the time — a discrepancy large enough for a judge to reject her asylum claim. After Mirkhail went over the documents, she saw what had gone wrong: An automated translation tool had swapped the “I” pronouns in the woman’s statement to “we.”

Michael Barr, the current vice chair of supervision, stresses the role of his predecessor, Randal Quarles, in defanging the entire process.

Russian troops who dug trenches in Chernobyl forest during their occupation of the area have been struck down with radiation sickness, authorities have confirmed. Ukrainians living near the nuclear power station that exploded 37 years ago, and choked the surrounding area in radioactive contaminants, warned the Russians when they arrived against setting up camp in the forest. But the occupiers who, as one resident put it to The Times, “understood the risks” but were “just thick”, installed themselves in the forest, reportedly carved out trenches, fished in the reactor’s cooling channel – flush with catfish – and shot animals, leaving them dead on the roads.

After a brief escape from the Bronx Zoo, a free-roaming peacock returned back to its home, but not before causing some havoc in New York City on Wednesday evening. Around 8 p.m. local time on Wednesday, the New York Fire Department sent units to the scene on 180th St. "for reports of a minor injury," the NYFD confirmed to PEOPLE. One patient was treated on the scene, but refused transport to the hospital, per the agency. A user-submitted Citizen video showed the wayward peacock, whom onlookers dubbed "Raul," hanging out in the middle of the street, the New York Daily News reported. The vibrantly colored bird then flew up into a tree, overlooking the chaos below as more people crowded at the scene. Before taking off into the tree, the bird bit a man's leg when he attempted to corral it, per the Daily News. "Raul" remained perched in a tree at Vidalia Park overnight before returning back to the zoo on Thursday morning.

Five people are dead, including an 8-year-old boy, after being shot in a Texas home by a suspect armed with AR-15 style rifle, police say. Police said they believe the massacre occurred after neighbors asked the suspect to stop shooting his gun in the front yard because there was a baby trying to sleep. "My understanding is that the victims, they came over to the fence and said 'Hey could [you not do your] shooting out in the yard? We have a young baby that's trying to go to sleep," and he had been drinking and he says 'I'll do what I want to in my front yard,'" San Jacinto County Sheriff Greg Capers told KTRK. Capers told KTRK the case went from harassment to a shooting very quickly. He said that authorities believed some of the victims were trying to shield their children -- with bodies found on top of children who were unharmed.

In Sorensen's social media video, she alleged that the couple had followed her into the store, trailed her as she shopped with her children in a stroller and made comments about her children's appearance. Sorensen, who described herself on social media as a "mom influencer," said the couple gave her the "heebie-jeebies" and "weren’t clean-cut individuals." She said she did not say anything to them because she was "paralyzed with fear." In the video, she further alleged that they followed her out of the store to her car and lingered near the stroller as she placed her children in the vehicle. She claimed that the couple drove off after she yelled for help. Sadie and Eddie Martinez denied Sorensen's claims and told the Petaluma Argus-Courier that they were at Michaels to buy Christmas decorations. They said they believe Sorensen's false allegations were racially motivated.

A North Carolina Supreme Court ruling Friday gives the General Assembly free rein to draw North Carolina’s congressional districts however it sees fit with little oversight from the courts. North Carolina’s state lawmakers had already planned to redraw the state’s 14 congressional districts, but Friday’s court decision green-lights Republicans to draw the map in their favor. “Now that the state supreme court has held the courts can’t involve themselves without specific constitutional direction, the legislature has the power to draw congressional districts to maximize Republican opportunities for winning US House districts,” Michael Bitzer, political science professor at Catawba College, said in an email. Bitzer predicted that Republicans are also likely to redraw state legislative maps after Friday’s ruling. On Friday, the court also ruled that people with felony convictions must complete their sentences before they can vote, and it reinstated a voter ID requirement.
