The World's Carmakers Are Struggling to
Compete with China
Global carmakers are facing a
reckoning as US, European and Japanese
brands lose ground to Chinese rivals setting the
pace not only in electric vehicles, but also in
batteries, design and software. The BBC visited
factory floors in Beijing and Hefei and found
striking levels of automation and software
development speed, leaving foreign brands that
once dominated the Chinese market struggling
to keep up.
"We have no chance against this,"
Honda chief executive Toshihiro Mibe told Japanese media after visiting a highly
automated factory in Shanghai. Ford chief
executive Jim Farley has also warned that
Western carmakers are "in a fight for our lives"
as Chinese rivals expand globally.
After decades spent investing in joint
ventures with Chinese partners to build
vehicles, foreign carmakers are now changing
the nature of those partnerships to stay
competitive.
"The biggest mistake that the developed
world is making is believing that the transition
is only about electric cars," says Shanghaibased auto analyst Bill Russo. "It's about who
will lead the next generation of mobility
technology."

Why Soft Skills Matter
When discussing careers, professional growth,
or the process of finding a job, people often
focus mainly on "hard skills." These are
abilities directly associated with carrying out
specific tasks or performing a certain
profession. In most cases, they can be tested or
measured because they are developed through
diplomas, certifications, technical courses,
workshops, academic education, and
professional training programs.
In contrast, "soft skills" are not as easy
to evaluate quantitatively. They are usually
connected less to formal education and more to
personal experience, behavior, attitude, and the
way individuals interact with others. For this
reason, they are frequently referred to as
"people skills." They involve qualities such as
the ability to communicate effectively,
cooperate with others, motivate teams, or
demonstrate leadership in different situations.
Among the soft skills most valued in the
workplace are creativity, teamwork, leadership,
organization, adaptability, and strong written
and verbal communication. These
competencies contribute to the development of
a more complete and versatile professional. In
competitive job markets, they can even become
a major advantage for candidates seeking
employment opportunities. Since interpersonal
interaction exists in nearly every profession,
these skills are important across practically all
industries. For employers and job seekers alike,
these abilities are considered "transferable
skills" because they can be applied successfully
in different positions, companies, and
professional environments. Organizations
generally appreciate professionals who can adapt easily, collaborate with others, and
maintain effective interpersonal relationships,
making soft skills increasingly valuable in
modern workplaces.

Sappho was a Greek lyric poet greatly admired in all ages for the beauty of her writing style and for her ability to impress readers with a lively sense of her personality. Her language contains elements from Aeolic vernacular speech and Aeolic poetic tradition, with traces of epic vocabulary familiar to readers of Homer. Her phrasing is concise, direct, and picturesque.
Many legends about her have been repeated for centuries. She is said, for example, to have been married to Cercylas, a wealthy man from the island of Andros. But many scholars challenge this claim. Most modern critics also consider it legend that Sappho leaped from the Leucadian rock to certain death in the sea because of her unrequited love of Phaon, a younger man and a sailor. She had at least two brothers, Larichus and Charaxus, and may have had a third. A fragment from Sappho that is dedicated to Charaxus has survived. One of her poems mentions a daughter named Cleis or Claïs. The tradition that she fled the island or was banished and went to Sicily may be true, but she lived most of her life in her hometown of Mytilene on Lesbos. Her work contains only a few apparent allusions to the political disturbances of the time.

Social media restrictions for under-16s even if no ban, minister says
The government is committed to implementing social media restrictions for under-16s but ministers must "make sure it works" before introducing changes, the Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson has told the BBC. The government is consulting on an outright ban, as well as other measures designed to stop teenagers accessing addictive and harmful material.
Phillipson's comments came after junior education minister Olivia Bailey said the government would "impose some form of age or functionality restrictions" even if it stopped short of a ban. Campaigners have called for an Australia-style ban on children using social media, but there are questions about how effective the prohibition has been.
Monday saw the latest stand-off between the government and House of Lords over the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill, which would give ministers the power to introduce sweeping restrictions on social media usage. Peers have repeatedly pushed the government to press ahead with a ban, voting in favour of opposition amendments on four occasions.
The government proposed further amendments to the bill on Monday in an effort to end the deadlock, including one which would give ministers the power to implement a ban in the future but stops short of introducing as quickly as the Lords had called for. MPs supported the government's changes to the draft law by 272 votes to 64, with the bill now returning to the Lords for what looks to be the final consideration before it receives royal assent and becomes law.
