Auschwitz anniversary and China AI ‘tumbles’ US tech
The Holocaust and the 80th anniversary of Auschwitz’s liberation dominate many of Tuesday’s front pages. The Metro headline reads: “In a place of no hope, there is always hope”, and pictures 103-year-old Auschwitz survivor Miriam Linial, who – among other survivors – tell how they were able to live “full lives after witnessing the horrors”.
The Financial Times leads with DeepSeek, the Chinese AI-Chatbot app that has “tumbled” tech stocks after it reached advancements with “far less” computing power than US rivals. DeepSeek – which also features on many other front pages – has “stunned Silicon Valley” with its abilities, and seen investors reassessing investment in AI, the FT says. One chief strategist told the paper this shows how “vulnerable” AI trading still is.
The Daily Express splashes with a photograph of 95-year-old Auschwitz survivor Stanislaw Zalewski, and King Charles’s speech at the camp on the anniversary of its liberation. “It is a moment when we recall the depths to which humanity can sink when evil is allowed to flourish, ignored for too long by the world”, the Express quotes the King as saying.
The i paper leads with an Auschwitz survivor’s warning to “avoid the mistake of the 1930s”, in reference to the Holocaust, along with other survivors who spoke of the rise of the far right in Europe once again. King Charles – who was at Auschwitz for its 80th anniversary – told the world to “never be a bystander to hate”. Also in the i, is the UK’s biggest banks cutting rates on their flexible savings accounts, offering 1.5% less than the market average.
“Non-crime hate laws set to be expanded”, reads the Daily Telegraph’s lead, referring to a recommendation seen in a leaked Home Office report. According to the paper, it recommends that police should record more non-crime hate incidents (NCHIs), reversing the previous government’s move to limit recordings over how they might affect free speech. The Telegraph adds that ministers “backed” an increase of NCHI recordings in relation to Islamophobia and antisemitism.
The Times says claims of two-tier policing are an “extreme right-wing narrative”, according to a leaked Home Office review, which has made recommendations on changing how extremism is countered. According to the paper – which has seen the review – it says there is a “dizzying” range of extremism, and that right-wing extremists “frequently exploit” the grooming gangs scandal to further Islamophobic sentiment.
The Guardian quotes a tech investor as calling DeepSeek’s emergence as a rival to OpenAI’s ChatGPT as a “Sputnik moment”, after the Chinese AI chatbot “wiped” $11 trillion (£98tn) from the US tech index. The paper says the DeepSeek app topped the Apple app store in both the US and the UK across the weekend. The Guardian also looks at the warning from Auschwitz survivors, who speak of a “new age of hatred”.
The Daily Mail leads on the royal family marking the 80th anniversary of the Auschwitz liberation, and gives a coloured account of the commemoration held there. “Before that gateway of death, they gathered for the last time – the handful of eyewitnesses to history’s greatest abomination”, reads the paper in reference to what it calls “important guests” – the 56 elderly Holocaust survivors.
The Sun splashes with its exclusive on former Premier League referee David Coote, who tells the paper he took cocaine as an “escape” over fears of coming out as gay in the “macho world” of football. The 42-year-old also told the paper he was “not sober” during his rant at former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp.
“It is our duty to remember”, reads the Daily Mirror’s headline, with a full page photo of former Auschwitz prisoner Stanislaw Zalewski, 95. The paper says the last survivors of the Nazis, “beg [the] world to keep alive memory of the lost millions”.
The Daily Star focuses on “tech bros in turmoil”, as the Chinese AI chatbot DeepSeek’s accomplishments saw shares drop across the US tech sector.
