ChatEurope: First chatbot dedicated to European news
Where have rents increased the most in Europe? Who won the presidential election in Poland? What does the European rearmament plan entail? ... Everything you want to know about Europe, ask #ChatEurope and get the facts! The chatbot operates in all EU languages.
Its purpose is very simple: to help you better understand Europe, the way it works, how decisions are made and how these decisions impact your life.
Led by Agence France-Presse, the media consortium behind this platform brings together prominent names in European journalism: the German and French broadcasters Deutsche Welle and France Médias Monde; the Romanian radio RFI Romania; the German and Italian news agencies dpa and Ansa; the Polish press group Agora; the Spanish non-profit foundation fighting against disinformation Maldita.es; the Spanish daily El Pais, and the online media outlet specialized in Southeast Europe OBCT.
At the heart of this innovative project, the ChatEurope chatbot was developed by the Romanian company DRUID AI and operates using the language model of the French company Mistral.
As the technical partner of the project, Xwiki developed the news platform. Dpa and AFP subsidiaries, news aktuell and MediaConnect, are in charge of the communication.
ChatEurope formulates its answers solely based on the thousands of articles provided by consortium members and always cites its sources, offering its users a guarantee of reliability amid widespread disinformation on social media. In a rapidly evolving media landscape, it also promises users a fully personalized experience, navigating the content offering based on their questions.
Breaking news, analyses, explanatory formats to better understand Europe, articles on the national implications of European policies, vertical videos on social media and even documentaries, ChatEurope is aimed at all European citizens, regardless of their origin or age.
The platform was launched in seven languages: French, English, Spanish, Italian, German, Romanian, and Polish, but its chatbot is able to answer in all EU languages. ChatEurope is co-funded by the European Commission and enjoys complete editorial independence, a key to its credibility.
Guido Baumhauer, DW Managing Director Distribution, Marketing and Technology: "Our involvement in ChatEurope allows us to explore the potential of AI to transform news consumption while maintaining journalistic integrity. We are contributing Deutsche Welle's Plain X technology for seamless video translation and transcription, and we play a key role in evaluating the chatbot developed by DRUID to ensure it provides trustworthy, well-founded answers to users' questions. This project is an important experiment in creating interactive, reliable digital reporting on EU affairs."

Thai-Cambodia Evacuees Hail Truce News With Mixed Emotions
Counting down the minutes to midnight when a truce with Cambodia is due, Thai evacuee Jeanjana Phaphan is full of a fragile hopes and doubts that peace will prevail. "I'd be so happy if the ceasefire really happens," said 48-year-old farmer Jeanjana, who fled her frontier home in Phanom Dong Rak district with her three-year-old son a few days ago. "If it's truly ending, I'm overjoyed --- the happiest I've felt in a long time," she told AFP at a shelter in Surin city, 50 kilometres (30 miles) from the border. Thailand and Cambodia's leaders have agreed an "unconditional" ceasefire will begin at midnight on Monday, following five days of combat along their jungle-clad frontier that has killed at least 38 people. Nearly 300,000 people have fled as the two sides fired artillery, rockets and guns in a battle over long-disputed areas home to a smattering of ancient temples. News of the ceasefire sent a ripple of relief, measured with a degree of scepticism, through those who fled since the fighting erupted last Thursday. "If our two countries keep fighting, the hardship and loss will only grow," Jeanjana said. "When I hear neighbours say their roof was pierced by bullets, it makes me heavy-hearted. The sound of people crying from loss is truly heartbreaking," she added with a trembling voice and tear-brimmed eyes. "People on that side are civilians too, just like us. On our side we're just farmers -- and I believe they are farmers like us too. Ordinary people working to survive." The peace deal was agreed in Malaysia, under the mediation of its Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim following interventions by US President Donald Trump and Chinese negotiators. But sitting on a straw mat next to his wife, 68-year-old farmer Tee Samanjai is thinking not about those high-table talks, but his normal life back on his farm. "The first thing I'll do when I get home is check on the chickens, fertilise the rice, and take care of the fields," he said. But his anticipation to return is also clouded with doubt. The past week's clashes have been the deadliest since 2008-2011 over the territory, claimed by both sides because of a vague demarcation made by Cambodia's French colonial administrators in 1907. "I still have doubts that Cambodia will follow through with what they agreed to," Tee said. "We may go home, but with unease. There's no peace of mind. I want to go back, but I don't trust Cambodia at all. No one in our village does." Just over the border in Cambodia, camped out at a temple evacuation site in Phumi Bak Thkav, farmer Say Yoeun has much in common with his Thai counterpart. "I am not happy to stay somewhere like this," said the 55-year-old. "I miss my home and livestock -- and I cannot take care of my paddy field." Cambodian and Thai commanders are due to meet early Tuesday morning if the truce holds, before villagers can return to their homes and start counting the cost of the conflict. For Thai Kavindhra Tiamsai, who evacuated her mother from the conflict zone, the fighting has revealed how locals on the fringes of both countries are marginalised by their governments. "A ceasefire is a good option but also the minimum," the 33-year-old said. "What we need is a comprehensive, grounded plan that speaks to the realities of rural life." "One that doesn't assume evacuation is easy -- or even possible -- when most families have no transport, no money to buffer, and no safety net to lean on."

EU-US trade deal: Brussels settles — but at what price? – DW – 07/28/2025
European stock markets rose to 4-month highs after Donald Trump's trade deal with the EU. Investors are cheering the easing of uncertainty, but some fear Brussels conceded too much, which could haunt the bloc for years. European governments and firms breathed a collective sigh of relief after the US-EU trade deal was sealed on Sunday, following nearly four months of tariff uncertainty. Markets reacted positively: shares in European automakers jumped as much as 3% at Monday's opening, while broader EU stock indices reached four-month highs. European bond yields fell, signaling investor optimism that transatlantic trade tensions may be easing. Under the agreement, a 15% US tariff will be levied on most exports from the European Union, and the bloc will commit €514 billion ($600 billion) in investment to the US — its largest trading partner. Tariffs on some sectors have yet to be finalized While the new 15% rate is less severe than the 25% tariff imposed on European automakers in April and the 30% levy previously scheduled for August 1, it still represents a sharp increase from the 2.5% duty in place before US President Donald Trump's second term began. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen told reporters that the new tariff rate was "a good deal," adding it would return "stability" and "predictability" to transatlantic trade. She cautioned, however, that "15% is not to be underestimated, but it is the best we could get." German Chancellor Friedrich Merz echoed that sentiment, calling the agreement a means to "preserve our core interests" and avert "an unnecessary escalation in transatlantic trade relations." Yet he admitted disappointment over the outcome, stating, "I would have very much wished for further relief." To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video While EU policymakers maintain they succeeded in negotiating Trump down from harsher tariffs, many European political and business leaders have condemned the new deal as damaging to the 27-member bloc. The EU had originally sought a 10% tariff. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban offered a biting critique during a Facebook livestream, saying: "Trump ate Ursula von der Leyen for breakfast, adding that the deal is "worse" than the one the United Kingdom clinched in May. Under that deal, most British exports still face a blanket 10% US tariff, while economists have warned the US-UK agreement lacks depth and leaves key sectors — like pharmaceuticals and agriculture — exposed. French Prime Minister Francois Bayrou called the deal a "dark day," lamenting how the EU, "an alliance of free peoples, brought together to affirm their common values and to defend their common interests, resigns itself to submission." Former high-profile European lawmaker Guy Verhofstadt, meanwhile, labeled the deal "scandalous" and a "disaster." In comments on X, he decried the lack of "a single concession from the American side" and criticized the EU's "poorly negotiated" approach. German MEP Bernd Lange, who chairs the European Parliament's trade committee, wrote on X that the deal was "lopsided" and that Brussels had made concessions that were "difficult to accept." French entrepreneur Arnaud Bertrand called the deal "a one-way transfer of wealth," adding that "it rather looks like the type of unequal treaties that colonial powers used to impose in the 19th century — except this time, Europe is on the receiving end." Ruben Staffa, foreign trade expert at the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW Berlin), said the deal marks "almost a tenfold increase in the average tariffs that applied before Trump's second term." The deal helps the EU sidestep a full-scale trade war that could have severely disrupted business confidence and consumer spending on both sides of the Atlantic. In anticipation of steeper US tariffs, Brussels had prepared €72 billion in retaliatory measures on American imports, including levies targeting aircraft and automobiles. Additional options reportedly included export restrictions on certain steel and chemical products, as well as possible moves against US services — particularly in Big Tech and finance — where the US holds a €109 billion trade surplus with the EU. While far from ideal, the agreement's economic impact is expected to be relatively mild. Citing data from the Kiel Institute for the World Economy (IfW), German business daily reported Monday that the tariffs would mean a 0.1% hit to the EU's gross domestic product (GDP). This is much lower than last year's Goldman Sachs estimate of a GDP cut of up to 1% in the event of a much lower 10% US tariff. Some sectors stand to benefit. Bloomberg Intelligence forecasts a €4 billion boost in earnings for the European auto sector, thanks to the reduction in vehicle tariffs from 27.5%. However, German firms are bracing for a substantial cost: estimates the new levies will burden them with €6.5 billion in additional expenses. Despite averting a trade war, Brussels has faced criticism for failing to extract more substantial concessions from Washington. Analysts argue the EU missed key opportunities to secure reciprocal tariff cuts on high-value European exports — including wine, spirits, and luxury goods. Some suggest that placing restrictions on US tech giants and financial institutions might have pressured Trump to lower tariffs on autos and pharmaceuticals. Critics also point to Brussels' early retreat from its retaliatory tariffs, which they say weakened the bloc's negotiating leverage. Others note that EU leaders failed to capitalize on US domestic politics — such as targeting exports from Republican strongholds or encouraging US companies to lobby the Trump administration from within. Internal divisions among EU member states, notably from Hungary, further fractured Brussels' position. Meanwhile, Trump's unpredictable tactics and aggressive tariff threats kept EU negotiators on the back foot throughout the talks. The deal is a preliminary framework rather than a comprehensive agreement. Over the coming months, negotiators from Brussels and Washington will draft a detailed text and set a date for the 15% tariff to take effect. Given Trump's track record of last-minute demands, as seen in US-Japan trade talks, the EU must brace for potential revisions. The deal requires approval from EU member states and scrutiny from the European Parliament, a process likely to span several weeks. Meanwhile, the Trump administration faces nearly a dozen lawsuits challenging the legality of his tariff policy, arguing that Trump lacks congressional authority to impose them unilaterally. Should any of these succeed, the tariffs could be voided, triggering fresh negotiations. Key sector-specific levies also remain unresolved. Brussels is still pushing for exemptions on wine and spirits — especially vital for France and Italy. Lower rates on pharmaceuticals and semiconductors are also under discussion. Finally, the EU's pledge to ease nontariff barriers — such as regulatory complexities and VAT hurdles — will require careful negotiation to ensure alignment with existing EU standards.

EU Defends Trump Trade Deal Facing Backlash
The European Union on Monday vehemently defended its trade deal with President Donald Trump, with EU capitals and businesses sharply divided on an outcome some branded a "capitulation". "I'm 100 percent sure that this deal is better than a trade war with the United States," top EU trade negotiator Maros Sefcovic told journalists. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen clinched the framework accord with Trump Sunday after dashing to Scotland as the August 1 deadline loomed for steep levies that threatened to cripple Europe's economy. EU exports are now set to face across-the-board tariffs of 15 percent -- higher than customs duties before Trump returned to the White House, but much lower than his threatened 30 percent. The 27-nation bloc also promised its companies would purchase energy worth $750 billion from the United States and make $600 billion in additional investments -- although it was not clear how binding those pledges would be. "This is clearly the best deal we could get under very difficult circumstances," Sefcovic said. Full details of the agreement -- and crucially which sectors could escape the 15-percent levy -- will be known in coming days, although the EU says it has avoided steeper tariffs on key exports including cars and medicines. But the reaction from European capitals -- which gave von der Leyen the mandate to negotiate -- ranged from muted to outright hostile. French Prime Minister Francois Bayrou said it was a "dark day" for Europe and said the accord was tantamount to "submission". Speaking for Europe's biggest economy, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz gave a warmer welcome to a deal he said had avoided "needless escalation". Industry groups in both countries made plain their disappointment however, with Germany's main auto sector body saying the 15-percent levy "burdens" carmakers while its VCI chemical trade association said the rates were "too high". Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban attacked the deal in blunt terms, saying "Trump ate Ursula von der Leyen for breakfast". "It looks a bit like a capitulation," said Alberto Rizzi of the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR). "The EU accepted a fairly unbalanced deal," he added, saying it delivered a "political victory for Trump". Von der Leyen had faced intense pressure from EU states to strike a deal quickly with the bloc's biggest partner and protect a $1.9-trillion trading relationship. Defending Brussels' approach, Sefcovic warned that a no-deal scenario -- meaning a 30-percent tariff and the prospect of further escalation -- would have risked up to five million jobs in Europe. Throughout the months-long talks, Brussels prioritised stability and maintaining good relations with Washington, over escalation. That line of thinking has support: Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, a Trump ally, said the deal had avoided "potentially devastating" consequences. Markets in Asia and Europe welcomed the certainty and rose following the announcement -- reflecting the 4.4 billion euros ($5.1 billion) worth of daily transatlantic goods and services trade that were at stake. Hanging over the negotiations was the risk to other areas of cooperation -- like Ukraine -- if the EU descended into a trade war with its closest security partner. "It's not only about the trade -- it's about security, it's about Ukraine," Sefcovic told reporters Monday. Jacob Funk Kirkegaard of the Peterson Institute for International Economics acknowledged it was "clearly an imbalanced deal" if judged purely on trade terms. "But if you're trying to avoid worse national security outcomes, well then maybe the deal is not so bad," he said. The EU had sought to ramp up the pressure in the final stretch of talks, fearing a bad deal and higher levies, with countries approving a $109-billion package of counter-tariffs at the last minute. And states led by France were pushing for a more robust response including the option to deploy the trade "bazooka" known as the anti-coercion instrument. But the threat of retaliation was consistently framed by Brussels as a last resort should talks fail, and experts suggested the hardening stance may have come too late to make a real difference. "If the EU had played hardball at the very beginning, it probably could have got a better deal," ECFR's Rizzi told AFP.
