00:00Dzień dobry, it is Wednesday 17 June, I'm Maeve McMahan and this is Europe Today, bringing you all the news
00:21to start your day.
00:22Coming up, the eyes of the world are on Evian-les-Bains, where G7 leaders are gathering for the third
00:28and final day of talks.
00:30Beyond the photo ops, European leaders have used this precious FaceTime with the US President to urge him to help
00:36break the deadlock on Ukraine.
00:38We'll have the latest on their joint declaration hot off the press with our Europe editor Maria Tadeo, live from
00:44Evian.
00:44Also in Evian, executives from tech giants, Anthropic, OpenAI, Google and Mr. AI are working on a joint pledge to
00:53address child safety and the future of AI.
00:56This as the US introduced export controls on Anthropic AI models.
01:01Your news is Angela Scudins will bring us up to speed from the ground.
01:05Meanwhile, on the football pitch, France secured a comfortable start to their FIFA World Cup participation with a 3-1
01:12win over Senegal.
01:13Austria also entered the tournament this morning, playing in their first World Cup in almost three decades.
01:19We'll have reactions from the Austrian MEP and football aficionado Lucas Mandel.
01:24And who exactly is Gianni Infantino and why is he hogging the headlines?
01:29We'll tell you everything you need to know about the FIFA President.
01:33But first, our top story takes us to Evian-les-Bains, where the most powerful leaders in the world are
01:38wrapping up three days of high-level talks.
01:41In a rare moment of convergence, G7 leaders have issued a joint declaration reiterating their support of Ukraine in defending
01:49freedom, sovereignty and territorial integrity,
01:51while also committing to increase pressure on Russia's war economy.
01:56For more, we can go straight to our Europe editor, Maria Tadeo, who's live in Evian with the latest on
02:00that joint declaration.
02:02Good morning, Maria. Great to have you with us.
02:04And now we're used to G6 plus one, but this time we see the U.S. also jumping on board.
02:10Tell us more.
02:13Yes, Maeve, good morning.
02:14And that is really the value of that joint statement.
02:17It's not a communicator, it's a statement in that declaration coming in together last night after midnight,
02:22but it does name check the President of the U.S. and it is endorsed by the G7 leader.
02:27So that is really the value of those talks that we saw there and the diplomacy at play yesterday in
02:32those sessions
02:32with the leaders, but also the President of Ukraine now coming together in this document,
02:38in which, as you say, the G7, and I'm just reading and quoting now from the declaration that we got
02:42last night,
02:43stand united in an unwavering support for Ukraine in defending its freedom, sovereignty and territorial integrity.
02:50And they also say that they will commit to increased pressure on the Russian war machine.
02:55And, Maeve, ultimately, when we talk about the Russian war machine, we're talking about Russian energy.
03:00It's the oil and it's the gas.
03:02Yesterday, President Trump hinted that he would be prepared to reinstall some of those sanctions that he waived
03:09when the war in Iran and the Strait of Hormuz pushed oil prices up and energy prices up.
03:15Now, with the war seemingly coming to an end, with an agreement and a ceremony to sign it in Switzerland
03:22on Friday,
03:22the U.S. would be prepared to reintroduce some of those sanctions and increase the pressure on Russia.
03:27We should note, however, and this is important, they do not say when they would come in, those sanctions.
03:33They also do not detail how big they would be.
03:36And there is no timeline or horizon in this declaration.
03:39We should also note, and this is relevant because ultimately diplomacy is also the art of sitting together.
03:45We have not seen a bilateral meeting between President Zelensky and President Trump.
03:50They did have a working session yesterday.
03:53President Zelensky was around the table, but it was a group session.
03:57We have not seen face-to-face time with the two of them sitting down quietly for a long period.
04:03So, again, there was a lot of speculation that perhaps there could be a bilateral for the time being.
04:08And we have not seen one, but President Zelensky, it is still in sight.
04:11And then he will head over to Brussels for the European summit tomorrow.
04:15But as you said earlier, of course, also in focus, Maria, the Middle East and Iran,
04:19where the G7 actually welcomes the efforts of Donald Trump to end the war.
04:23Tell us why.
04:26Yeah, indeed, Maeve, that is the other part of this declaration,
04:29which we have overnight coming in from the French presidency,
04:33in which they name-checked President Trump multiple times.
04:37Some suggest that is the price you have to pay for consensus,
04:42the flattery around the president of the U.S.,
04:44in which they say they commend his efforts
04:47and they call this framework deal to end the war in Iran a breakthrough.
04:51And they also say there is now a real opportunity in the Middle East.
04:55The G7 also endorses and agrees that the Strait of Hormuz
04:59will have to reopen fully without any tolls.
05:01So they reiterate that message that there needs to be freedom of navigation in the strait.
05:07It also says that there is potentially a place for a mission,
05:11a maritime mission, to make sure that the vessels that will have to come through
05:16will be able to do so safely.
05:19And it matches really the tone from the president of the U.S.,
05:22who reiterated yesterday, that the tolls will not happen,
05:27that the Strait of Hormuz will reopen fully by Friday
05:30and that ceremony in Switzerland will go ahead.
05:33I should stress, however, there is a document,
05:37a leaked document that has been doing the rounds here in Evian now for 24 hours,
05:41detailing what is in that agreement in principle.
05:45We have not seen the official version,
05:47but this leaked version does show that Iran would commit to not having a nuclear weapon,
05:51but there would also be financial incentives for Tehran.
05:55At the same time, we were told that the leaders of the EU and the European G7
06:01alongside Canada and Japan were shown by the U.S.
06:04a copy of this Memorandum of Understanding,
06:06which we understand is less than two pages,
06:08and they suggested that it is the basis, perhaps,
06:12to continue negotiations between the two of them,
06:14but the upside value of it is that it will now bring hostilities to an end
06:19and could have a major repercussion when it comes to the energy market and see prices down.
06:23Okay, Maria Taddeo, our Europe Editor reporting live for us there from Evian-les-Bains.
06:28Thank you so much for that broadcast.
06:30And staying with the G7, as geopolitics is not the only item on the menu,
06:35with AI and tech also slated for talks.
06:37For more, we can bring in your news as correspondent, Angela Scugins,
06:40who's also on the ground for us in Evian-les-Bains this week.
06:43So, Angela, artificial intelligence very much high on the G7's agenda today.
06:47Just remind us why.
06:51Good morning, Maeve.
06:52So, while the G7 is very much about tackling the biggest geopolitical conflicts of our time,
06:57they also will require to look at the biggest technological advancement of the 21st century,
07:04and this is artificial intelligence.
07:06We expect a swag of top-tier AI executives to descend on Evian.
07:10They'll have to go through those police checks,
07:13which we can see right behind me, to enter this secure area.
07:18They are expected to talk about, they will attend a working lunch titled
07:22Ensuring a Safe, Rapid and Effective Deployment of Artificial Intelligence.
07:26We're talking about the CEOs from Anthropic, OpenAI, Mistral AI, as well as Google.
07:32This comes off the back, of course, of Trump last week slapping export controls on Anthropic,
07:39one of the leading tech companies when it comes to AI.
07:43This has essentially proved a fear true for Europeans that the United States can flick a switch,
07:49turn off these capabilities that they desperately desire.
07:52But EU officials that have spoken to Euronews have confirmed that they expect this matter to be raised today,
07:59as well as a further cooperation potentially between Brussels and Washington
08:04when it comes to developing and hopefully sharing this technology, Maeve.
08:08And changing tack, Angela, there are also some lighter moments at the G7,
08:12from gifts to hot mics catching the politicians unaware.
08:15Tell us more.
08:18Yes, so it started early yesterday morning with German Chancellor Friedrich Mertz
08:23gifting Trump a football jersey to celebrate the 80th birthday that just passed,
08:29as well as the kickoff of the FIFA World Cup.
08:33Mertz then posted on social media platform X,
08:36happy belated 80th birthday, POTUS.
08:39After all, we're on the same team.
08:41Of course, this comes off the back of Mertz previously criticising Trump
08:45for the ongoing war in Iran,
08:47stating that the ceasefire talks are humiliating Washington.
08:52Hopefully, here, this will paper over some of those divisions that have emerged.
08:56Of course, Trump announcing the withdrawal of US troops from Germany.
09:01But those hot mic moments that you referenced,
09:03this G7 seems to be plagued with politicians being caught unawares
09:08that their comments are being broadcast.
09:10This hit a high point yesterday with the Italian Prime Minister,
09:14Georgia Maloney, known for toting her tailored cigarettes,
09:18announcing to her political contemporaries
09:20that she has been smoke-free for one month.
09:23Let's take a listen.
09:24Add a cigarette in a slightly different way.
09:26No.
09:27No.
09:29Georgia.
09:30When?
09:30No.
09:31Last night.
09:33Last night.
09:37Georgia Maloney speaking there to her political contemporaries
09:41at the G7 summit on Tuesday.
09:43But the action is not over yet.
09:45We're expecting one more full day of crunch time talks.
09:49Maeve.
09:49OK.
09:50Angela Scudins, thank you so much for your reporting.
09:53And also to our EU News team,
09:54who will be live blogging on all the outcomes on that G7.
09:57So throughout the day, do consult Euronews.com.
10:00But now it is time for our FIFA World Cup segment.
10:09And while global leaders are, of course, very busy in Evian,
10:12a lot of the world's attention has been occupied by the World Cup.
10:15And in many ways, on the controversial FIFA president,
10:18who's forged very close ties with the US president.
10:21Our Jacobianus tells us more about the FIFA boss Gianni Infantino.
10:27A massive revolt is brewing for football's most powerful man.
10:31As the 2026 World Cup gets underway,
10:34FIFA president Gianni Infantino faces an unprecedented ethics backlash
10:37over his open alignment with the White House
10:40and vital hydration breaks being turned into TV advertisement slots.
10:44And for many, it would be already a career game changer,
10:47but not for Infantino.
10:49Maybe sometimes it's good as well to just, you know, chill, relax.
10:56All right, Gianni, but football fans are wondering, who are you?
11:01Born in 1970, two modest Italian immigrants
11:05in the quiet Swiss town of Brin,
11:07Infantino grew up far from luxury.
11:09His mother ran a railway station newsstand,
11:12while his father worked on sleeping cars.
11:14A multilingual lawyer, by training,
11:17he quietly climbed the ranks at the UEFA
11:19to become the trusted right-hand man
11:21to the French football legend, Michel Platini.
11:24And his big break came during the infamous
11:262015 FIFA gate corruption scandal,
11:29when the FBI arrested top officials and sidelined Platini.
11:33Infantino launched a backroom campaign to seize the presidency.
11:37He later described Infantino as an ambitious bureaucrat
11:40who rafferously plotted to take his boss's crown.
11:43After that, Infantino concentrated all decision-making power
11:47and remade FIFA into a money-making machine.
11:50And expanding the tournaments from 32 to 48 teams
11:54has pushed FIFA's four-year revenue
11:56to a record $13 billion.
11:59Today, opinions on his legacy are deeply split.
12:03Some see him as the master manager
12:05who successfully rebuilt FIFA from its 2015 ashes.
12:09Oders view him as the ultimate symbol of corporate greed.
12:12And on his social media accounts,
12:14he's posed often end with the hashtag
12:16Football Unites the World.
12:18But as this tournament shows,
12:20there is always another thing that unites.
12:22And it is money.
12:23And as ethical investigations mount,
12:26football's ultimate businessman
12:27might find his luck is finally running out.
12:35Jacopi Hanna is reporting for us there.
12:38And now we can take a look at the latest in the tournament.
12:40And to do so, I'm joined here in the studio
12:41by your news' Vincenzo Genovese.
12:43So bring us up to speed.
12:45What is the latest?
12:45Good morning, Maeve.
12:47France and Argentina won their opening game.
12:50And it was another great show by Lionel Messi,
12:54his majesty with a nut-trick to Algeria,
12:5720 years after his first goal in a World Cup.
13:01You know Maeve, now Messi is the top scorer
13:03in the history of the World Cup with 16 goals,
13:06the same as German former striker Miroslav Klose.
13:10But the other side of the coin in this game
13:12is the sufferance from the stance of Zinedine Zidane,
13:16former World Champions with France,
13:19the legend of the football sufferance
13:21because his son Luka Zidane
13:24is the goalkeeper of Algeria
13:25and he wasn't perfect in the game yesterday,
13:28especially in the second goal.
13:30So this is football, joy and pain in the same game.
13:34Of course, this is football.
13:35And we saw Austria's very first game this morning
13:37against Jordan has just finished with 3-1 outcome.
13:40And among those who got up very early this morning
13:42to watch it was Lucas Mandl,
13:44a member of the European Parliament,
13:46who's also a big football aficionado.
13:48And he joins us now from Strasbourg.
13:50Good morning, Mr. Mandl.
13:51Great to have you with us.
13:52How was the game in your view?
13:53How did the Austrians play?
13:57Good morning.
13:57Thank you for having me.
13:58It's an exciting morning from an Austrian perspective.
14:01It's the best start of the day you can have
14:02with this 3-2-1 win in a tough game in the beginning,
14:07in a thrilling game throughout the whole 90 plus 10 minutes.
14:11But what counts in the end is the result.
14:14And the result is very promising for the rest of the World Cup.
14:18Good morning, Lucas.
14:19Good morning.
14:20Austria is back to the World Cup after 28 years.
14:25Do you have high expectations?
14:30I have high expectations with this very Austrian team.
14:34They have showed in this very first game
14:35after a tough beginning what they are capable to do.
14:39Of course, as an Austrian, I support Austria.
14:41But generally, this World Cup has started in a very exciting way
14:45and it's worth watching.
14:47What are the most favorite ones among the other European countries,
14:51in your opinion?
14:54Well, if you observe the performance of European teams,
14:57it's a big variety of different results
15:01and different achievements so far,
15:04but we are in the beginning of the group phase,
15:06so there's not much to tell yet.
15:09Of course, the European teams are in the forefront
15:12of what we as Europeans should observe.
15:15But this is a game and it's about sports
15:17and this is why fairness and true competition counts
15:20and that's why may the best teams win in all the games.
15:25Okay.
15:25And in this World Cup,
15:27we also see many players who are born and raised in Europe,
15:31especially in France,
15:32who have chosen to play for their country of origin
15:35or the country of origin of their ancestors even.
15:38Why, in your opinion?
15:42I think this is part of today's world
15:44that even more and more people than ever before
15:47have more than one national identity
15:49due to their ancestors,
15:51due to their personal life story and so on.
15:53So it's absolutely fair enough
15:56that a player with, for example,
15:59Algerian roots like Luca Zidane,
16:02the son of Zinedine Zidane,
16:03would play for Algeria
16:04while his father played for France.
16:08I, for example, I'm in politics, not in football,
16:10but my mother is Dutch originally,
16:13my father is Austrian
16:14and generally, if I compare it with the European level
16:17for European Parliament,
16:19somebody can run no matter in what country
16:22as long as this person would be a European citizen.
16:25Okay.
16:25Lucas Mandl, Austrian member of the European Parliament,
16:28taking a break from politics
16:29to talk football with us here on Europe Today.
16:32Thank you so much for joining us.
16:34And what about France, Vincenzo?
16:37We can't not talk about France.
16:38It was a pretty good start for them, right?
16:39Yes, it was a brilliant start,
16:41a brilliant second half,
16:42especially after a first half dominated by Senegal.
16:47But at the end, France won 3-1.
16:49Bappé scored twice.
16:51And French supporters should be very happy
16:53because it wasn't easy.
16:54and especially the ones in the village of Hayat
16:57because they also got pizza for free.
17:00Defender Maxence Lacroix decided to offer pizza
17:04to all the people of his hometown
17:07who gathered to watch France World Cup games.
17:10So really, a beau geste,
17:12a kind gesture from Lacroix,
17:14even though pizza is not exactly a French food.
17:18No, it's not.
17:18But isn't that a lovely way
17:19to bring the community together?
17:20That's one good thing, of course,
17:21that football can do.
17:23So what should we look out for next, Vincenzo?
17:25Well, today, England against Croatia
17:27and Portugal against Congo
17:30are the most relevant matches.
17:34Let's see what Cristiano Ronaldo does
17:36after Messi, after Bappé.
17:38You know, Cristiano Ronaldo is 43 years old.
17:41He has often struggled in the World Cup.
17:43And so this is really the last chance
17:45for him to win.
17:46And who are the other big stars
17:48we should look out for for this match?
17:50Just briefly.
17:51The big stars?
17:51The big stars, of course,
17:53when we say Cristiano Ronaldo.
17:55I also will take a look to Vitinha,
17:57which to me is the best midfielder
17:59in the World Cup
18:00and he is the soul of the Portuguese team.
18:03A gripping, a gripping tournament.
18:05Vincenzo Genovese,
18:06thank you so much for that update.
18:07And that brings this edition
18:09of Europe Today to an end.
