News of the day: EU record fine for Google, Andy Burnham cuts business tax on pubs, digital cash receipts

The article discusses two separate news items. First, it reports that the European Union has imposed a record fine of 890 million euros on Google for violating the Digital Markets Act (DMA), which prohibits large companies from favoring their own products over those of competitors.

It mentions that the case could eventually reach the European Court of Justice. Second, the article covers the announcement by UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham of a 20% reduction in business tax for pubs and concert venues starting in April, aimed at boosting morale and economic recovery.
