Scientists have recently created a technology called BABEL. BABEL is named after the story of the Tower of Babel in the Bible. In the story, humans, speaking a single language, agreed to build a city and a tower tall enough to reach heaven and God. God, observing this and disapproving of the pride that humans were showing, decides to confuse the humans by introducing different languages such that humans could no longer understand each other. This story has been used to explain the existence of different languages.
BABEL is an audio-translation device that is surgically inserted into the ears of users, and automatically translates all audible words into a language discernable to the user. Certain words that are not translateable between languages are replaced with the closest possible substitute. BABEL is powered biologically, and does not require a charge. As part of efforts to improve its translation, BABEL cannot be switched off, and the device is always listening in to words

In recent months, there has been a sharp spike in the number of refugees and migrants heading to the Belarus-Poland border in the hope of crossing into the bloc. It is estimated that thousands are now effectively in a “no man’s land” between the two countries.

Despite the EU mandating member states not to violently push back migrants who arrive at their borders, those trying to leave Belarus have been denied entry to Poland, which has put up barbed wire fences and started using tear gas and water cannons. Along with Lithuania and Latvia, Poland has fortified its borders by increasing the presence of guards and announcing plans to build a wall.

The EU has accused Belarus of “weaponizing refugees” and Russia of masterminding the situation. The EU's response to date has been to support Poland and impose a new list of sanctions targeting all individuals and entities that it believes are helping the Lukashenko administration move people towards the border.
