A group of refugee children gets picked up near the border by a police officer. Because the officer suspects that illegal smuggling was involved in their crossing of the border, he wants to question the group regarding their arrival.
Since there is a lack of local interpreters for the languages required, you have been called as a remote interpreter through a video call on the phone. They contact you to have you interpret between the officer and the refugees. You are now on a call with them in the middle of the street.
[[You introduce yourself as the interpreter and explain the situation to the group.]]
[[You introduce yourself and then tell the officer that you will first ask the group to which one of them you should talk.]]
