Undemocracy and power is what one will think about when one this past week

Yes, the week begins with hearing that the next president in the USA is a Republican.

The topic on the radio this week has otherwise been whether it is allowed to beat children.
BLARK_translated
Evnið hesa vikuna í útvarpinum hevur annars verið um tað er loyvt at sláa børn.
And discussions have been held with experts on the subject. The family counselor, child protection services and

Og prátað hevur verið við serkøn innan evnið. Familjuráðgevara, barnaverndina og
social committee. The conclusion has been that the rules should have been stricter

World AIDS Day also took place this week, and it was also
BLARK_translated
Altjóða AIDS-dagurin fór eisini framvið í hesu vikuni, og hann bleiv eisini
mentioned in the media. The Faroe Islands' upper secondary school (studentaskúli) and HF programme have for several

so the disease did not break out in her. Here in the Faroe Islands there are no new cases
BLARK_translated
at sjúkan ikki breyt út hjá henni. Her í Føroyum eru eingir nýggir tilburðir
confirmed this past year, and unfortunately the AIDS council no longer seems to be working, because
BLARK_translated
staðfestir hetta seinasta árið, og tíverri virkar AIDS-ráðið ikki longur, vegna
expected support. The message this time is not to give up informing, despite
BLARK_translated
væntandi stuðul. Boðskapurin hesaferð er, at ikki gevast við at upplýsa, hóast
no new AIDS cases have been confirmed here at home. Anna Samuelsen former
