00:13Good morning, it is Wednesday the 17th of June. I'm Maeve McMahan and this is Europe Today,

00:20bringing you all the news to start your day. Coming up, the eyes of the world are on Evian

00:25Le Bain, where G7 leaders are gathering for the third and final day of talks. Beyond the photo ops,

00:31European leaders have used this precious FaceTime with the US President to urge him to help break

00:36the deadlock on Ukraine. We'll have the latest on their joint declaration hot off the press with

00:42our Europe editor Maria Tadeo, live from Evian. Also in Evian, executives from tech giants,

00:48Anthropic, OpenAI, Google and Mystery AI are working on a joint pledge to address child safety and the

00:54future of AI. This as the US introduced export controls on Anthropic AI models. Your news is

01:01Angela Scudins will bring us up to speed from the ground. Meanwhile, on the football pitch,

01:06France secured a comfortable start to their FIFA World Cup participation with a 3-1 win over Senegal.

01:13Austria also entered the tournament this morning, playing in their first World Cup in almost three

01:18decades. We'll have reactions from the Austrian MEP and football aficionado Lucas Mandel. And who

01:25exactly is Gianni Infantino and why is he hogging the headlines? We'll tell you everything you need

01:31to know about the FIFA President. But first, our top story takes us to Evian Le Bain, where the most

01:37powerful leaders in the world are wrapping up three days of high-level talks. In a rare moment of

01:42convergence, G7 leaders have issued a joint declaration reiterating their support of Ukraine

01:48in defending freedom, sovereignty and territorial integrity, while also committing to increase

01:53pressure on Russia's war economy. For more, we can go straight to our Europe editor, Maria Tadeo,

01:58who's live in Evian with the latest on that joint declaration. Good morning, Maria. Great to have

02:04you with us. And now we're used to G6 plus one, but this time we see the US also jumping

02:09on board.

02:10Tell us more. Yes, Maeve, good morning. And that is really the value of that joint statement. It's

02:17not a communicator, it's a statement and that declaration coming in together last night after

02:21midnight, but it does name check the President of the US and it is endorsed by the G7 leader. So

02:27that is really the value of those talks that we saw there and the diplomacy at play yesterday in those

02:32sessions with the leaders, but also the President of Ukraine now coming together in this document in

02:38which, as you say, the G7, and I'm just reading and quoting now from the declaration that we got

02:42last night, stand united in an unwavering support for Ukraine in defending its freedom, sovereignty and

02:49territorial integrity. And they also say that they will commit to increase pressure on the Russian

02:55war machine. And Maeve, ultimately, when we talk about the Russian war machine, we're talking about

02:59Russian energy. It's the oil and it's the gas. Yesterday, President Trump hinted that he would be

03:05prepared to reinstall some of those sanctions that he waived when the war in Iran and the Strait of

03:12Hormuz pushed oil prices up and energy prices up. Now, with the war seemingly coming to an end with

03:18an agreement and a ceremony to sign it in Switzerland on Friday, the US would be prepared to reintroduce

03:24some of those sanctions and increase the pressure on Russia. We should note, however, and this is

03:29important, they do not say when they would come in those sanctions. They also do not detail how big

03:35they would be and there is no timeline or horizon in this declaration. We should also note,

03:41and this is relevant because ultimately diplomacy is also the art of sitting together. We have not

03:46seen a bilateral meeting between President Zelensky and President Trump. They did have a working session

03:52yesterday. President Zelensky was around the table, but it was a group session. We have not seen

03:58face-to-face time with the two of them sitting down quietly for a long period. So again, there was

04:04a lot

04:04of speculation that perhaps there could be a bilateral for the time being. We have not seen

04:09one, but President Zelensky, it is still on site. And then he will head over to Brussels for the

04:13European summit tomorrow. But as you said earlier, of course, also in focus, Maria, the Middle East

04:18and Iran, where the G7 actually welcomes the efforts of Donald Trump to end the war. Tell us why.

04:25Yeah, indeed, Maeve, that is the other part of this declaration, which we have overnight coming in

04:32from the French presidency, in which they name check President Trump multiple times. Some suggest

04:38that is the price you have to pay for consensus, the flattery around the president of the U.S., in

04:44which

04:45they say they commend his efforts and 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. The G7 also endorses and agrees

04:57that the Strait of Hormuz will have to reopen fully without any toll. So they reiterate that message

05:03that there needs to be freedom of navigation in the Strait. It also says that there is potentially a

05:10place for a mission, a maritime mission, to make sure that the vessels that will have to come

05:15through will be able to do so safely. And it matches really the tone from the president of the U

05:22.S.

05:23who reiterated yesterday that the tolls will not happen, that the Strait of Hormuz will reopen

05:29fully by Friday and that ceremony in Switzerland will go ahead. I should stress, however, there is

05:36a document, a leaked document that has been doing the rounds here in Evian now for 24 hours,

05:41detailing what is in that agreement. In principle, we have not seen the official version, but this

05:47leaked version does show that Iran would commit to not having a nuclear weapon, but there would also

05:52be financial incentives for Tehran. At the same time, we were told that the leaders of the EU and

05:59the European G7 alongside Canada and Japan were shown by the U.S. a copy of this memorandum of

06:06understanding, which we understand is less than two pages. And they suggested that it is the basis

06:11perhaps to continue negotiations between the two of them. But the upside value of it is that it will

06:17now bring hostilities to an end and could have a major repercussion when it comes to the energy

06:21market and see prices down. Okay, Maria Tadeo, our Europe Editor reporting live for us there from

06:27Evian Lebet. Thank you so much for that broadcast. And staying with the G7, as geopolitics is not the only

06:34item on the menu with AI and tech also slated for talks. For more, we can bring in your news's

06:39correspondent, Angela Scugins, who's also on the ground for us in Evian Lebet this week.

06:43So Angela, artificial intelligence very much high on the G7's agenda today. Just remind us why.

06:51Good morning, Maeve. So while the G7 is very much about tackling the biggest geopolitical conflicts

06:56of our time, they also will require to look at the biggest technological advancement of the 21st

07:03century. And this is artificial intelligence. We expect a swag of top tier AI executives to descend

07:09on Evian. They'll have to go through those police checks, which we can see right behind me,

07:16to enter this secure area they are expected to talk about. They will attend a working lunch titled

07:22Ensuring a Safe, Rapid and Effective Deployment of Artificial Intelligence. We're talking about

07:27the CEOs from Anthropic, OpenAI, Mistral AI, as well as Google. This comes off the back, of course,

07:34of Trump last week slapping export controls on Anthropic, one of the leading tech companies when

07:42it comes to AI. This has essentially proved a fear true for Europeans that the United States can flick a

07:49switch, turn off these capabilities that they desperately desire. But EU officials that have

07:54spoken to Euronews have confirmed that they expect this matter to be raised today, as well as a further

08:01cooperation potentially between Brussels and Washington when it comes to developing and hopefully

08:06sharing this technology, Maeve.

08:08And changing tack, Angela, there are also some lighter moments at the G7 from gifts to hot mics

08:14catching the politicians unaware. Tell us more.

08:18Yeah, so it started early yesterday morning with German Chancellor Friedrich Mertz gifting Trump a football

08:25jersey to celebrate the 80th birthday that just passed, as well as the kickoff of the FIFA World Cup.

08:33Mertz then posted on social media platform ex-happy belated 80th birthday, POTUS. After all,

08:40we're on the same team. Of course, this comes off the back of Mertz previously criticising Trump

08:45for the ongoing war in Iran, stating that the ceasefire talks are humiliating Washington. Hopefully

08:52here this will paper over some of those divisions that have emerged. Of course,

08:57Trump announcing the withdrawal of US troops from Germany. But those hot mic moments that you referenced,

09:03this G7 seems to be plagued with politicians being caught unaware,

09:07unawares that their comments are being broadcast. This hit a high point yesterday with the Italian

09:14Prime Minister, Georgia Maloney, known for toting her tailored cigarettes, announcing to her

09:19political contemporaries that she has been smoke-free for one month. Let's take a listen.

09:24Had a cigarette slightly.

09:26No.

09:29Georgia.

09:30What?

09:30No.

09:31Last night.

09:33Last night.

09:33Good.

09:35Good.

09:37Georgia Maloney speaking there to her political contemporaries at the G7 summit on Tuesday. But

09:44the action is not over yet. We're expecting one more full day of crunch time talks. Maeve.

09:49Okay. Angela Scudens, thank you so much for your reporting and also to our EU news team who'll

09:54be live blogging on all the outcomes on that G7. So throughout the day, do consult euronews.com.

10:00But now it is time for our FIFA World Cup segments.

10:09And while global leaders are, of course, very busy in Evian, a lot of the world's attention

10:13has been occupied by the World Cup. And in many ways, on the controversial FIFA president

10:18who's forged very close ties with the US president. Our Jacobianus tells us more about the FIFA

10:23boss Gianni Infantino.

10:27A massive revolt is brewing for football's most powerful man. As the 2026 World Cup gets underway,

10:33FIFA president Gianni Infantino faces an unprecedented ethics backlash over his open alignment with

10:39the White House and vital hydration breaks being turned into TV advertisement slots. And for many,

10:45it would be already a career game changer, but 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 in the quiet Swiss town of Brin, Infantino grew up far

11:09from luxury. His mother ran a railway station newsstand while his father worked on sleeping cars.

11:14A multilingual lawyer, by training, he quietly climbed the ranks at the UEFA to become the

11:20trusted right-hand man to the French football legend Michel Platini. And his big break came

11:25during the infamous 2015 FIFA gate corruption scandal. When the FBI arrested top officials and

11:32sidelined Platini, Infantino launched a backroom campaign to seize the presidency. He later described

11:38Infantino as an ambitious bureaucrat who ruthlessly plotted to take his boss's crown.

11:43After that, Infantino concentrated all decision-making power and remade FIFA into a

11:49money-making machine. And expanding the tournaments from 32 to 48 teams has pushed FIFA's full-year

11:55revenue to a record $13 billion. Today, opinions on his legacy are deeply split. Some see him as the

12:04master manager who successfully rebuilt FIFA from its 2015 ashes. Oders view him as the ultimate symbol of

12:11corporate greed. And on his social media accounts, his post often end with the hashtag

12:16football unites the world. But as this tournament shows, there is always another thing that unites.

12:22And it is money. And as ethical investigations mount, football's ultimate businessman might find his luck

12:29is finally running out.

12:35Jacob Giannis reporting for us there. And now we can take a look at the latest in the tournament.

12:40And to do so, I'm joined here in the studio by Euro News' Vincenzo Genovese. So bring us up to

12:44speed.

12:45What is the latest?

12:45Good morning, Maeve. France and Argentina won their opening game. And it was another great show by

12:53Lionel Messi, his majesty, with a nut trick to Algeria, 20 years after his first goal in a World Cup.

13:01You know, Maeve, now Messi is the top scorer in the history of the World Cup with 16 goals,

13:06the same as German former striker Miroslav Klose. But the other side of the coin in this game is the

13:13sufferance from the stance of Zinedine Zidane, former World Champions with France, the legend of

13:20the football. Sufferance because his son Luca Zidane is the goalkeeper of Algeria. And he wasn't perfect

13:27in the game yesterday, especially in the second goal. So this is football. Joy and pain in the same game.

13:34Of course, this is football. And we saw Austria's very first game this morning against Jordan has

13:38just finished with 3-1 outcome. And among those who got up very early this morning to watch it,

13:43was Lucas Mandl, a member of the European Parliament, who's also a big football aficionado.

13:48And he joins us now from Strasbourg. Good morning, Mr. Mandl. Great to have you with us.

13:52How was the game in your view? How did the Austrians play?

13:57Good morning. Thank you for having me. It's an exciting morning from an Austrian perspective.

14:00It's the best start of the day you can have with this 3-2-1 win in a tough game

14:06in the beginning,

14:07in a thrilling game throughout the whole 90 plus 10 minutes. But what counts in the end is the

14:13result. And the result is very promising for the rest of the World Cup.

14:18Good morning, Lucas. Good morning. Austria is back to the World Cup after 28 years.

14:24First, do you have high expectations?

14:30I have high expectations with this very Austrian team. They have showed in this very first game

14:35after a tough beginning what they are capable to do. Of course, as an Austrian, I support Austria,

14:41but generally this World Cup has started in a very exciting way and it's worth watching.

14:46What are the most favorite ones among the other European countries, in your opinion?

14:54Well, if you observe the performance of European teams, it's a big variety of different results and

15:02different achievements so far, but we are in the beginning of the group phase, so there's not much

15:07to tell yet. Of course, European teams are in the forefront of what we as Europeans should observe,

15:14but this is a game and it's about sports and this is why fairness and true competition counts,

15:21and that's why may the best teams win in all the games.

15:25Okay, and in this World Cup we also see many players who are born and raised in Europe, especially

15:31in France, who have chosen to play for their country of origin or the country of origin of their

15:37ancestors even. Why, in your opinion?

15:42I think this is part of today's world that even more and more people than ever before have more than

15:48one national identity due to their ancestors, due to their personal life story and so on, so it's

15:54absolutely fair enough that a player with, for example, Algerian roots like Luca Zidane, the son of

16:02Zidane would play for Algeria while his father played for France. I, for example, I'm in politics,

16:09not in football, but my mother is Dutch originally, my father is Austrian, and generally if I compare it

16:16with the European level for European Parliament, somebody can run no matter in what country as long

16:22as this person would be a European citizen.

16:24Okay. Lucas Mandel, Austrian member of the European Parliament, taking a break from politics to talk

16:30football with us here on Europe Today. Thank you so much for joining us. And what about France,

16:36Vincenzo? We can't not talk about France. It was a pretty good start for them, right?

16:39Yes, it was a brilliant start, a brilliant second half, especially after a first half dominated by

16:46Senegal, but at the end France won 3-1. Bappe scored twice, and French supporters should be very

16:53happy because it wasn't easy, and especially the ones in the village of Ayat, because they also

16:58got pizza for free. Defender Maxence Lacroix decided to offer pizza to all the people of his hometown

17:07who gathered to watch France World Cup games. So really, a beau geste, a kind gesture from Lacroix,

17:14even though pizza is not exactly a French food. No, it's not. But isn't that a lovely way to bring

17:19the community together? That's one good thing, of course, that football can do. So what should we

17:24look out for next, Vincenzo? Well, today, England against Croatia and Portugal against Congo are the

17:30most relevant matches. Let's see what Cristiano Ronaldo does after Messi, after Bappe. You know,

17:38Cristiano Ronaldo is 43 years old. He has often struggled in the World Cup, and so this is really

17:44the last chance for him to win. And who are the other big stars we should look out for for

17:49this

17:49match? Briefly, the big stars? The big stars, of course, Cristiano Ronaldo. I also will take a look

17:56to Vitinha, which to me is the best midfielder in the World Cup, and he is the soul of the

18:02Portuguese

18:03team. A gripping, a gripping tournament. Vincenzo Genovese, thank you so much for that update. And that

18:08brings this edition of Europe Today to an end. Thank you so much for tuning in. As always, if you

18:13have any

18:13points for us, reach out at europetoday at euronews.com and take care and see you soon on Euronews.
