Europe Travel Companies Slam Deal to Soften Big Tech Rules
GetYourGuide CEO Johannes Reck blasted the prospect that the U.S. and the European Union are close to an agreement to give American tech companies a say in how Europe implements the Digital Markets Act.
The agreement is part of trade negotiations and would halt enforcement while talks are under way, according to the Wall Street Journal.
"The choice is clear: We either build a truly competitive digital market in Europe or we resign ourselves to becoming a digital backwater. I know which future I'm fighting for," Reck said.
Separately, the leaders of GetYourGuide, HomeToGo, Omio and several German e-commerce companies and groups wrote a letter to the Ge

Kia initiates European EV production with the New EV4 model
Kia has commenced the production of its first entirely electric vehicle (EV) designed for the European market, the EV4 hatchback, at the brand's manufacturing hub in Slovakia. Located in Zilina, the facility, known as Kia AutoLand Slovakia, has undergone substantial upgrades to its production lines to accommodate the manufacturing of the vehicle. Switch Auto Insurance and Save Today! Affordable Auto Insurance, Customized for You The Insurance Savings You Expect Great Rates and Award-Winning Service Kia says it has invested €108m to modernise the Zilina plant with new technologies, including an EV battery conveyor system. The EV4 is built on the Electric Global Modular Platform (E-GMP) of Hyundai Motor. Customers can choose between two battery sizes: a standard 58.3kWh and a larger 81.4kWh option. In February 2025, the company presented the exterior design of the new EV4 model range, unveiling saloon and hatchback variants. EV4 is equipped with energy features, including vehicle-to-grid (V2G) and vehicle-to-load (V2L) capabilities. Additionally, it features a lightweight aluminium bonnet and comes in a range of eight exterior colours, with a matte finish. The Zilina plant, which opened its doors in 2004, is a pivotal part of Kia's European strategy. Spanning 2km2, the facility employs approximately 3,700 individuals and is ideally situated to serve major European markets. Alongside the EV4, the plant manufactures other models like the Kia Sportage and Kia XCeed, including their hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions. The Zilina facility is said to have an annual production capacity of 350,000 vehicles and 540,000 engines. Since its inception, the plant has produced over five million units, contributing to roughly 11% of Kia's worldwide vehicle production, the company noted in a press release. The South Korean automaker has reported a 6.5% increase in revenues to a record Won29.35tn in Q2 of 2025, attributed to robust global demand for its hybrid models, increased average selling prices, and favourable currency exchange rates.

Honor's Magic V5 Boasts On-Device Live AI Call Translation for Guaranteed Privacy
"Hola! ¿Hablas inglés?" I asked the woman who answered the phone in the Barcelona restaurant. I was calling in a futile attempt to make a reservation for the CNET team dinner during Mobile World Congress this year. Unfortunately, I don't know Spanish (I learned French and German at school). And as it turned out, she didn't speak English either. "No!" she said, and brusquely hung up. What I needed in that moment was the kind of AI call translation feature that's becoming increasingly prevalent on phones – including Samsung and Google devices, and, from next week, Honor. When Honor unveils its Magic V5 foldable at a launch event on Aug. 28 in London, it will come with what the company is calling "the industry's first on-device large speech model," which will allow live AI call translation to take place on device, with no cloud processing. Currently the phone supports six languages – English, Chinese, French, German, Italian and Spanish. For the aforementioned reasons, I can't test all of these, but I've already had a play around with the feature and can confirm it did a very effective job of translating my garbled messages into French. I only wish I'd had it available to me in Spain when I needed it. The model Honor has deployed was designed by the company in collaboration with Shanghai Jiao Tong University, based on the open-source Whisper model, said Fei Fang, president of product at Honor in an interview. It's been optimized for streaming speech recognition, automatic language detection and translation inference acceleration (that's speed and efficiency, to you and I). According to Fang, Honor's user experience studies have shown that as long as translation occurs within 1.5 seconds, it doesn't "induce waiting anxiety," in anyone attempting to use AI call translation. As such, it's made sure to keep the latency to within these parameters so you won't get anxious waiting for the translation to kick in. "We also work together with industry language experts to consistently and comprehensively evaluate the accuracy of our output," she added. "The assessment is primarily based on five metrics: accuracy, logical coherence, readability, grammatical correctness and conciseness." In addition to Honor's AI model, live translation is being powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite chip. The 8 Elite's NPU allows multimodal generative AI applications to be integrated onto the device, allowing. Honor's algorithms work together with the NPU to keep power consumption as low as possible while maintaining the required accuracy of the translations, said Christopher Patrick, SVP of mobile handsets at Qualcomm. There are a number of benefits to having the AI model embedded on the Magic V5, but perhaps the most compelling is the privacy it guarantees. It means that everything is processed locally and your calls will therefore remain completely confidential. The fact that the model lives on device and you don't need to download voice packages also reduces its storage needs. Another benefit of running the model on the phone itself is "offline usability," said Patrick. "All conversation information is stored directly on-device and users can access it anytime, anywhere, without network restrictions." The work Honor has done on AI call translation is set to be recognized at the upcoming Interspeech conference on speech science and tech. But already, Honor is thinking about how this use of AI can be used to enable other new and exciting features for the people who buy its phones. "Beyond the essential user scenario of call translation, Honor's on-device large speech model will also be deployed in scenarios such as face-to-face translation [and] AI subtitles," said Fang. The process of developing the speech model has allowed Honor's AI team to gain extensive experience of model optimization, which it will use to develop other AI applications, she added. "Looking ahead, we will continue to expand capabilities in areas such as emotion recognition and health monitoring, further empowering voice interactions with your on-device AI assistant," she said.

Olivia Smith Admits Meeting Marta At 2015 World Cup Changed Her Life
The day she lost her position as the world's most expensive female player, Olivia Smith - the first to move for a million pounds - admits she never worried about her price. This week, Smith collected the Professional Footballers' Association (PFA) award for the best Young Player of the Year last season. Her eye-catching performances for Liverpool earned her the illustrious accolade and in doing so, she became the first foreign woman to ever be voted in by her fellow professionals. Smith had already made the move last month from Liverpool to Arsenal with the new European club champions paying a transfer fee of $1.36 million (£1 million). She therefore became the first woman in the English game to move for over a million British pounds. Earlier today, Orlando Pride broke that record by signing Jacqueline Ovalle from Tigres in Mexico for a reported $1.5 million. Smith had held the position for a mere 35 days but there will be never be another first within the English game. The transfer in January of the United States defender Naomi Girma made her the first million dollar player but amounted to less in sterling. The one million pound threshold was first crossed in the men's game 46 years ago when Trevor Francis moved from Birmingham City to Nottingham Forest. That move came 25 years before Smith was even born but she is all too aware of the significance of his name. 'At the end of the day, a price tag is a price tag, she said when questioned about her seven-figure valuation. "It's not something I'm really focused on. I'm just focused on being on the pitch, learning from a great set of players. I think it's also great to see the development of women's football and that price going up as well. Obviously, it's an honor to have achieved that.' 'To come with such a hefty price tag, for such a young player like me, I think they see the potential that I have. They see, like my mum said, I'm hungry, I'm driven, I want to learn, I want to grow and I want to win things ultimately. The money is not really a big deal for me.' Smith will be moving club for the third year in succession having joined Liverpool from Sporting CP in Lisbon the previous summer. A young woman living on another contintent, she concedes that relocating constantly is 'not comfortable, but you have to be comfortable being uncomfortable.' 'It's been quite tough for me personally, not knowing what's going to come next. My first year in Europe, I never expected to leave Sporting after one season. It's not easy, especially when my family is so far away, but it does make transitions easier, building relationships with people here.' At Arsenal she will at least link up with one old acquaintance, the United States international Jenna Nighswonger. Their paths briefly crossed at Florida State University before Smith opted to go to Penn State. 'I didn't stay there long,' she admits, 'but she was my mentor for about two or three months when I first arrived there.' Some will question where Smith will fit into the Arsenal line-up where she is competing for a starting position against three Ballon D'Or nominees - Alessia Russo, Mariona Caldentey and Chloe Kelly - as well as the scorer of the winning goal in the UEFA Women's Champions League final, Stina Blackstenius, the Player of the Tournament at the last UEFA Women's Euro. Beth Mead, and Australian Caitlin Foord. Smith is however is relishing the challenge. 'The biggest thing is that I'm very versatile. I spoke to (coach) Renée Slegers about this. I just want to be out on the pitch but at the same time, I'm competing with the best players in the world so we're just pushing each other to be better every day and I'm learning from them as well to add to my game. At the end of the day, it's up to Renée based on performance but I'm working hard, giving it 100% - yeah still learning and growing.' Smith was ten years of age when Canada hosted the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup. Inspiring girls like Smith was behind the 'To A Greater Goal' slogan of the tournament. Growing up in Whitby, Ontario, close to Toronto, the nearest host city to her was almost 350km away in Ottawa. She told me that did not stop her watching some of the games in person. She joked 'it kind of sucked that it wasn't in Toronto but my family and I actually made the trips to go and watch games and I think that was really special for me. I actually remember attending the Brazil game that was in Montréal. As a lot of people probably know, Marta is also one of my biggest idols that I modelled my game after.' 'It's pretty special watching that World Cup, and I think that was also a turning point in my career realistically. I had actually gotten the chance to speak to Marta and she gave me a lot of insight on what it's like growing up not having women's football idols, because she didn't have one. I think it's so special now for the girls to look up to people like us doing what we do.'
