00:14Good morning, it is Tuesday the 16th of June. I'm Maeve MacMahon and this is Europe Today.

00:20Your daily dose of news and analysis with a European take.

00:24Coming up, the European Union has officially opened the EU accession process with Ukraine

00:29and Moldova after 27 member states approved the move at a meeting in Luxembourg.

00:34The announcement comes as firefighters continue to clear the aftermath of a Russian strike

00:40that severely damaged a €1,000 cathedral in Kyiv, renowned for its historic frescoes

00:46and silver artefacts.

00:47Meanwhile, after more than a decade of deadlock, the EU has agreed on a major overhaul of air

00:54passenger rights.

00:55The reforms would allow travellers to claim compensation for flight delays of more than

00:59three hours and would give passengers the right to disembark after two hours on the tarmac.

01:05The package still needs to be rubber-stamped by the Parliament and the Council.

01:09And another nail-baiting night for World Cup fans.

01:12Spanish supporters were left red-faced after a stalemate with Cape Verde, while the Belgian

01:18Red Devils were pushed all the way by Egypt, with that match also ending in a draw.

01:23But first, global leaders are gathering in the French spa town of Avion-les-Bas for the

01:28second day of the G7.

01:30The US President Donald Trump has told allies that he expects the Strait of Hormuz to be

01:35quote, fully open by Friday, where the framework deal to end the war is expected to be formalised

01:40in Switzerland.

01:41However, questions remain over the details of the deal.

01:45Meanwhile today, President Volodymyr Zelensky is due to join G7 leaders with the war in Ukraine

01:50very much high up on the agenda.

01:52For more, we can go straight over to Avion-les-Bas, where our Maria Tadeo is standing by for us.

01:57Good morning, Maria.

01:59So President Trump really celebrating his deal.

02:01But the Europeans, of course, asking for more clarity.

02:04Did they get any?

02:07Well, yes, Maeve, good morning.

02:09And in fact, just to that point, the president of Ukraine will land in Avion in about 55 minutes.

02:16But yes, Iran is really the focus and really certainly was the focus of leaders and conversations

02:22on day one of this summit.

02:24The question for the Europeans, as you alluded to, is to really find out the level of detail,

02:29because at this point, we know that there is a framework deal to end the war, but nobody

02:34has seen the actual wording.

02:35This memorandum has not been made public, and the fine print remains very much a mystery

02:42to global leaders, but also within some sectors of the U.S.

02:46Yesterday, nonetheless, President Donald Trump repeated, insisted that this is a good deal

02:52that will put an end to Iran's nuclear program.

02:55He also said that the Strait of Hormuz, this is vital for the global energy market, will

03:00be, quote, fully reopened by Friday, and that ceremony will go ahead.

03:04Donald Trump will not participate in that ceremony in Switzerland.

03:09It will be the vice president who heads over to Europe to sign it and formalize him.

03:14Some suggest him, perhaps, that the president does not want to be associated too closely with

03:18the deal in case it fluffs.

03:20But of course, at this stage, that is political speculation.

03:23Nonetheless, there are real questions around this agreement, because U.S. officials briefed

03:28reporters here in the G7 in Navion, saying that, in principle, yes, the Strait of Hormuz

03:34should be fully reopened by Friday.

03:36But practically and operationally, that could take weeks, because the Strait has been shut

03:41now for more than or close to four months, and that is going to take more time.

03:45There's also a major question around the sanctions.

03:48What is in this deal?

03:49The president of the U.S. said yesterday that any relief will be, quote, dependent on their

03:54behavior.

03:55The vice president also repeated that message, saying that a lot will depend on whether or

04:00not Iran can behave like a, quote, normal country.

04:04The Europeans yesterday repeated that they will not ease any sanctions until they see a

04:09real change on the ground.

04:10But a lot of those questions heavily depend on the text of that memorandum of understanding

04:15between the two countries.

04:17For the time being, as I say, it has not been released.

04:20That is a fundamental key point we should stress.

04:23The U.S. administration says it should come out this week.

04:26So the question is still in the air, and it remains, is this a good deal?

04:30That is a question that I put to the former National Security Advisor to Donald Trump, John

04:36Bolton, yesterday on Special Report on Euronews.

04:38Let's take a look.

04:41No, I think it's a very bad deal for the United States.

04:44Trump isn't thinking about the geo-strategic implications of the deal.

04:49He's thinking of one thing.

04:51He wants the straight open.

04:52He wants gulf oil on international markets.

04:55He wants the price of gasoline at the pump down.

04:57That's all he cares about.

04:59I think it's a mistake to give this brutal theocracy any of the assets.

05:03I'm happy to give the assets back to Iran when it's under a free government.

05:07That's not where we are now.

05:08The change of leadership is only because we've killed the top 400 or 500 people in the existing

05:13regime, and you're down now to their seconds and deputies.

05:16So, yeah, it's different people, but it's the same fanatic regime.

05:19Trump is desperate for a deal.

05:22He's desperate for a deal, and they have maneuvered him.

05:25They've played him like a violin.

05:26That's why they've got the deal that they want.

05:31And that is, of course, John Bolton speaking to Euronews, saying that this is a deal with

05:36one goal in mind, and that is to bring down oil prices.

05:40And he is not wrong to some extent because the U.S. president also doubled down on that

05:45message, repeating that oil prices will come down and the stock market is up because of

05:50this deal.

05:50But as I say, two fundamental questions in terms of the sanctions, but also the program,

05:56the nuclear enrichment program.

05:58Who is going to monitor that it is dismantled?

06:00The other piece of breaking news that I want to give to you now, life, is the president of

06:05the U.S. has also put out a statement on social truth.

06:08His social media is saying that any reports that the U.S. will pay $300 billion to reconstruct

06:14Iran is, quote, fake news.

06:16But this goes back again to some of the questions around the wording in this deal, because it

06:21seems, however, that in the text there will be a reference to countries wanting to invest

06:27in Iran, which has been heavily bombed for three months.

06:31But the U.S. president, repeating this morning, not a single cent of U.S. money will go into

06:35Iran.

06:36But as I mentioned, major questions around the fine print of this deal, which for the time

06:41being, nobody has seen.

06:43And Marie, as you said, President Zelensky arriving imminently, will President Trump

06:47play ball there?

06:50Well, that's another big question.

06:52And Maeve, yesterday, the president of the U.S. said that with Iran now, quote, done, he

06:58will focus on Ukraine.

07:00The Ukrainian president is expected to land here, as I say, in 55 minutes.

07:05I asked a member of his cabinet, President Zelensky, whether the Ukrainians still believe a bilateral

07:10meeting is still possible.

07:12And this official told me, quote, sure, it is still possible.

07:16And I should also update you now with some comments from the office of the president of

07:21Ukraine saying that President Zelensky will have for the time being bilateral meetings

07:26with the German chancellor, of course, with the French president, president, the head of

07:30the IMF, the U.K. prime minister and the Canadian prime minister.

07:35But the big question is whether or not there will be that one to one with President Trump,

07:40who yesterday seemed to indicate that now he will have the time to focus back on Ukraine

07:46for the Ukrainians.

07:48The goal will now be to step up pressure on Russia and to take a hard line on Russia in

07:53these negotiations.

07:54Also, a cryptic message from President Zelensky yesterday, who said that an invitation had

07:59been extended to Vladimir Putin, but he decided not to show up.

08:02Unclear who extended the invitation.

08:05OK, Maria Steyo, thank you so much for that live broadcast there from Evian Leban.

08:09We also have a live blog running all day on the G7.

08:12So visit yournews.com for that.

08:13And Maria will be live tonight at seven local time for a special report.

08:17But now from Evian to Luxembourg, where EU foreign ministers have officially endorsed the

08:21opening of Ukraine and Moldova's first step to joining the bloc.

08:25For more, let's bring in EURO News' Mered Gwynne-Jones.

08:28Well, Maeve, Ukraine taking a leap forward in its bid to become a member of the EU here

08:33in Luxembourg yesterday, opening the first phase of accession talks.

08:37And of course, President Zelensky has in the past framed this as critical for Ukraine's

08:41security guarantees.

08:42I spoke to Ukraine's Deputy Prime Minister Taras Kashka yesterday, who said that this is

08:46also critical for Europe's future security and for protecting it against future aggression

08:52from Russia.

08:53Of course, this came just ahead of that expected meeting between Volodymyr Zelensky and Western

08:58leaders, including President Trump, at the G7 summit later today.

09:03I caught up yesterday also with the Polish foreign minister, Radoslav Sikorsky, and asked

09:08him about Zelensky's claim that Russia's Vladimir Putin had refused to come to the G7 summit for

09:14direct talks with him and what that said about Russia's appetite for peace.

09:20Putin says he wants a peace that respects historical rights of Russia.

09:31Let me remind you, he started this war on the pretext with the ideology of claiming that

09:37Kiev is a Russian city.

09:38He is now bombing, destroying this Russian city, supposedly, and he has just hit the oldest

09:49monastery in Ukraine.

09:52When this monastery was already a famous place, Moscow didn't even exist.

09:58It shows you how wrong Putin's historical claims are.

10:03I hope the United States backs the victim of aggression.

10:09We, as the free world, should not be in between the aggressor and the victim of aggression.

10:17I think Putin's economy is beginning to suffer.

10:20He is not making progress on the battlefield.

10:22We should stay the course.

10:24And when Putin wants to negotiate, he knows Zelensky's number.

10:30Now, moving on, as the G7 begins to digest the contents of President Trump's Iran deal,

10:36NATO is conducting a live integrated air and missile defence military exercise across

10:4120 NATO nations, including Finland, Norway and Sweden.

10:45Our NATO correspondent, Shona Murray, is embedded in the mission and joins us now for an update

10:49from Sweden.

10:50Good morning, Shona.

10:51So we've seen major drone incursions into NATO territory recently, meaning air defence is more

10:56important than ever.

10:57Please tell us where you are and why.

11:01Good morning, Maeve.

11:02I'm in the Kallax military base here in Sweden, near Sweden's high north, essentially Sweden's

11:07Lapland, where Ramseye Flag 2026 military exercise is taking place.

11:12It's actually NATO's largest military exercise geographically.

11:15And as you said, nearly 20 countries taking part, over 200 aircraft.

11:19And what this is, is a simulation of a potential aggression from Russia or any other enemy into

11:25NATO airspace where that enemy occupies the airspace.

11:28So NATO has to respond.

11:30This is really what it would be like in the first days of an Article 5 situation.

11:34You have, obviously, combat aircraft like F-35s here.

11:38You have other different types of aircraft that are there for reconnaissance, surveillance

11:42and so on.

11:43So this is what it would look like if there was Russian aggression.

11:46Now, of course, as you mentioned there, air interception and air defence is crucial at

11:51the moment for NATO, given those incursions in Romania over the past few weeks and all

11:55across the airspace.

11:56It's also crucial for Europe to step up in this area because we know that the United States

12:00is withdrawing some of its combat aircraft, such as the F-35 and the F-16s.

12:06Maeve?

12:06And Shona, what is the consensus among NATO military personnel about the threat from Russia

12:10now?

12:10And of course, is there relief over the Iran deal or the framework of the deal?

12:17Well, indeed, speaking to many military people here at NATO, there is a cautious relief about

12:23the Iran deal, given that many NATO countries have had to send assets into the region, whether

12:28it's minesweepers or other assets such as frigates.

12:31So that might ease off the pressure on NATO somewhat.

12:34But as we've heard all day over the past couple of days, the devil really is in the detail.

12:39And of course, NATO's perspective is that Russia is its key priority.

12:43So at least it may take the pressure off if there's nobody, nobody more, nobody forced

12:48to send more assets into the area.

12:49But also there's a consensus here, and I've seen it for the first time in a long time,

12:53that there's quite a lot of optimism about Ukraine's prospects within the war, given

12:58the advances when it comes to drone technology.

13:00So NATO breathing a bit of a sigh of relief, but obviously very cautious.

13:05Maeve?

13:05OK, Shona Marie, thank you so much for that live update there.

13:08From Sweden, and also digesting news of that framework for US around peace deal, are MEPs

13:13gathering this week in Strasbourg.

13:15Oil prices already fell sharply after the announcement, and European stock markets reacted positively.

13:20For more, let's bring in Javier Moreno, Spanish member of the European Parliament.

13:24Good morning.

13:25So the full terms, of course, of the deal are not yet public.

13:28So some impacts, of course, remain very uncertain.

13:31But what is the initial reaction from the European Parliament there to the tentative deal?

13:38Yeah, we will have a debate today, and the end of a war is a good news, always a good

13:46news.

13:46But this war, let me come back to the beginning, was a legal war and a nonsense, because, and

13:54we oppose, as social democrats and socialists, we oppose to this war, President Pedro Sánchez

14:01opposed to this war, because what was the purpose of this war?

14:05It was to bring back the democracy, to stop the nuclear program of Iran, and what is the result?

14:11But the war, the war is there, and it's impacting Europeans, sir.

14:16We've seen petrol prices drop yesterday to under two euros.

14:21That's why it's a good news, because United States and Israel are making the war, and

14:28we are paying for the war.

14:30The citizens, the European citizens, are paying for this war, with inflation, with the price

14:34of oil, of energy, and it's important now to stop this war.

14:38It's a nonsense.

14:40It's not a win-win game.

14:42Everybody's losing in this war.

14:44And do you think the deal now, if there is a deal, it could reduce transport, heating,

14:47and manufacturing costs across Europe, or are they here to stay these high prices?

14:54We hope so.

14:55We hope that with the end of the war, we will come back to the previous prices before the

15:02war, and that everything will come back.

15:06Trade will come back.

15:07The seats will come back to Europe, and the citizens will come back to the previous life

15:14with less inflation and a better life.

15:19Well, that's certainly what people are hoping as they fill the petrol at the pumps.

15:23Javier Moreno, thank you so much for bringing us the view there from Strasbourg.

15:27Now moving on, it is time for our World Cup segments.

15:37And for this, I'm joined, of course, here on set by Eurie News' Vincenzo Genovese.

15:41So tell us what story we're looking out for today or tonight.

15:45Well, the story of the night, yesterday night, was, of course, the miracle of Atlanta.

15:50Cape Verde held Spain to a 0-0 draw, and the hero of the night was the goalkeeper,

15:57Vosinha.

15:58His real name is Josimar Diaz.

16:01Vosinha means grandma in Portuguese, because when he was a child, he was playing with friends,

16:06and he didn't like to lose, so he would say to go to cry to his grandmother.

16:12So that's why Vosinha.

16:14But yesterday, he had really joyful moments, and he also got emotional at the end of the game.

16:19But what about Spanish supporters?

16:21It was a bad night for them.

16:22Yes, indeed. And Spanish press was also at no mercy today for the Spanish team.

16:29I think that the Spanish coach, Luis de la Fuente, underestimated his opponents.

16:34And, you know, Mikel Ojerzabal, the Spanish striker, was the only player ever to have played

16:4130 minutes in a World Cup game without touching the ball once.

16:44And what about Belgium and the Red Devils?

16:46Well, Belgium also disappointing starting 1-1 with Egypt.

16:51You know, the Belgian team always comes with great expectations to World Cup.

16:56And for the vibes in Brussels, we sent our reporter Anna Leal.

17:00If you recognize this little guy, you know we are in Belgium,

17:03one of the 16 European countries participating in this year's World Cup.

17:06They have never won it, but do they have a chance this time?

17:09Let's go ask some Belgians.

17:10Quarterfinals would be already an achievement, but semifinal would be...

17:14And then in semifinal, what can you hope, right?

17:16Final!

17:17You never know.

17:18No, I think personally final.

17:19At least a semifinal.

17:22We're going to win this time, for sure.

17:24I'm very, very optimistic.

17:25We have a great team.

17:26I love, of course, Thibaut Courtois.

17:28He's one of the best goalkeepers in the world.

17:31Lukaku, of course.

17:33You think you can win it?

17:35Yeah, I reckon.

17:36You know, I want to believe.

17:37You know, you have to believe.

17:38I'm happy to make it through the qualifying.

17:40Maybe final or take the World Cup.

17:43If I want to be crazy, I would say we're going to final.

17:46We can do it!

17:47Let's go!

17:49I think we will be champions for 226.

17:53I think they can reach the final.

17:55First World Cup, Belgium was really upset.

17:57They didn't do that good.

17:59So I have hope because they have the pressure.

18:01We are a Belgique.

18:02There is France.

18:03And there is also Spain.

18:05So I think we are not going to win the Mundial.

18:11So good vibes all around there, Vincenzo.

18:14But what's coming up today?

18:15What should we keep an eye on?

18:16Well, tonight, the other two top teams are playing.

18:19Argentina, the winning champions, and France,

18:21which to me is the top candidate for the final win.

18:24And I really will keep an eye on this man, Kylian Mbappé.

18:28He has won nothing this year with Real Madrid.

18:30But he is on track to be the best scorer ever in the World Cup history.

18:36He is at 12 now.

18:37The top scorer, German Miroslav Klose, is at 16.

18:41And I think that he can do it in the next World Cups.

18:46If this is the case, I think we really should consider Kylian Mbappé

18:50as the best player in the history of football.

18:53Okay.

18:53Vincenzo Genovese, thank you so much for all those updates.

18:57And thank you so much, of course, for tuning in.

18:59And if you'd like to reach out to us here on Europe Today,

19:01you can write to us here today at euronews.com.

19:04That is our email address.

19:05And as I said earlier, don't forget,

19:07we have a live blog running all day on the G7.

19:09Take care and see you very soon here on Euronews.

19:23We'll see you next time.

19:31We'll see you next time.

19:36See you next time.
