NewsTranskript
00:13Good morning, it is Wednesday 17th June, I'm Mave McMahan and this is Europe Today,
00:20bringing you all the news to start your day.
00:22Coming up, the eyes of the world are on Evian Le Bain, where G7 leaders are gathering for
00:27the third and final day of talks.
00:30Beyond the photo ops, European leaders have used this precious FaceTime with the US President
00:34to urge him to help break the deadlock on Ukraine.
00:38We'll have the latest on their joint declaration hot off the press with our Europe editor Maria
00:43Tadeo, live from Evian.
00:45Also in Evian, executives from tech giants, Anthropic, OpenAI, Google and Mystery AI are
00:51working on a joint pledge to address 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
01:10participation with a 3-1 win over Senegal.
01:13Austria also entered the tournament this morning, playing in their first World Cup in almost
01:18three decades.
01:19We'll have reactions from the Austrian MEP and football aficionado Lucas Mandel.
01:24And who exactly is Gianni Infantino and why?
01:28Is 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 Le Bain, where the most powerful leaders in
01:38the world are wrapping up three days of high-level talks.
01:41In a rare moment of convergence, G7 leaders have issued a joint declaration reiterating their
01:47support of Ukraine in defending freedom, sovereignty and territorial integrity, while also committing
01:53to 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
02:00the latest on that joint declaration.
02:02Good morning, Maria.
02:03Great to have you with us.
02:04And now we're used to G6 plus one, but this time we see the US also jumping on board.
02:10Tell us more.
02:13Yes, Maeve, good morning.
02:15And 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
02:20night after midnight, but it does name check the President of the US and it is endorsed
02:25by the G7 leader.
02:27So that is really the value of those talks that we saw there and the diplomacy at play
02:31yesterday in those sessions with the leaders, but also the President of Ukraine now coming
02:36together in this document in which, as you say, the G7, and I'm just reading and quoting
02:41now from the declaration that we got last night, stand united in an unwavering support
02:45for 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
02:59Russian 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
03:08sanctions that he waived when the war in Iran and the Strait of Hormuz pushed oil prices
03:14up and energy prices up.
03:15Now, with the war seemingly coming to an end, with an agreement and a ceremony to sign it
03:21in Switzerland on Friday, the US would be prepared to reintroduce some of those sanctions
03:25and increase the pressure on Russia.
03:27We should note, however, and this is important, they do not say when they would come in those
03:33sanctions.
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
03:44together.
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
04:02period.
04:03So again, there was a lot of speculation that perhaps there could be a bilateral for the
04:07time being.
04:08We have not seen one, but President Zelensky, it is still on site.
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, where
04:19the G7 actually welcomes the efforts of Donald Trump to end the war.
04:23Tell us why.
04:26Yeah, indeed, Maeve.
04:27That is the other part of this declaration, which we have overnight coming in from the
04:33French presidency, in which they name check President Trump multiple times.
04:37Some suggest that is the price you have to pay for consensus, the flattery around the
04:43president of the U.S., in which they say they commend his efforts and they call this framework
04:48deal 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 will have to reopen fully without
05:01any toll.
05:01So they reiterate that message that there needs to be freedom of navigation in the
05:07strait.
05:07It also says that there is potentially a place for a mission, a maritime mission, to make
05:13sure that the vessels that will have to come through will be able to do so safely.
05:19And it matches really the tone from the president of the U.S. reiterated yesterday that the tolls
05:26will not happen, that the Strait of Hormuz will reopen fully by Friday and that ceremony in
05:31Switzerland will go ahead.
05:33I should stress, however, there is a document, a leaked document that has been doing the rounds
05:39here in Evian now for 24 hours, detailing what is in that agreement.
05:44In principle, we have not seen the official version, but this leaked version does show
05:48that Iran would commit to not having a nuclear weapon, but there would also be financial
05:52incentives for Tehran.
05:55At the same time, we were told that the leaders of the EU and the European G7 alongside Canada
06:02and Japan were shown by the U.S. a copy of this memorandum of understanding, which we understand
06:07is less than two pages.
06:09And they suggested that it is the basis, perhaps, to continue negotiations between the
06:14two of them.
06:14But the upside value of it is that it will now bring hostilities to an end and could have
06:19a major repercussion when it comes to the energy market and see prices down.
06:23OK, Maria Taddeo, our Europe Editor reporting live for us there from Evian Leber.
06:27Thank you so much for that broadcast.
06:30And staying with the G7, as geopolitics is not the only item on the menu, with AI and
06:35tech also slated for talks.
06:37For more, we can bring in your news correspondent, Angela Scugins, who's also on the ground for
06:41us in Evian Leber 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,
06:58they 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, which we can see right behind me, to enter this
07:17secure area they are expected to talk about.
07:20They will attend a working lunch titled Ensuring a Safe, Rapid and Effective Deployment of
07:25Artificial 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
07:58be raised today, as well as a further cooperation potentially between Brussels and Washington when
08:04it comes to developing and hopefully sharing this technology, Maeve.
08:07And changing tack, Angela, there were also some lighter moments at the G7 from gifts to hot
08:13mics catching the politicians unaware.
08:15Tell us more.
08:18Yeah, so it started early yesterday morning with German Chancellor Friedrich Mertz gifting
08:24Trump a football jersey to celebrate the 80th birthday that just passed, as well as the
08:30kickoff of the FIFA World Cup.
08:32Mertz then posted on social media platform X, happy 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 for the ongoing
08:46war in Iran, stating that the ceasefire talks are humiliating Washington.
08:51Hopefully 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, this G7 seems to be plagued with politicians
09:06being caught unawares that their comments are being broadcast.
09:10This hit a high point yesterday with the Italian Prime Minister, Georgia Maloney, known for
09:16toting her tailored cigarettes, announcing to her political contemporaries that she has
09:21been smoke-free for one month.
09:23Let's take a listen.
09:24Add a cigarette, Slyford.
09:26No.
09:37Georgia Maloney speaking there to her political contemporaries at 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.
09:49Okay, Angela Scudins, thank you so much for your reporting and 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, 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.
10:21Our Jakubianus 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, FIFA president Gianni Infantino faces an unprecedented
10:36ethics backlash over his open alignment with the White House and vital hydration breaks
10:42being turned into TV advertisement slots.
10:44And for many, it 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
11:08up far from luxury.
11:09His 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.
11:24And his big break came during the infamous 2015 FIFA gate corruption scandal, when the
11:30FBI 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 who roughly plotted to take his boss's crown.
11:43After that, Infantino concentrated all decision-making power and remade FIFA into a money-making machine.
11:50And expanding the tournaments from 32 to 48 teams has pushed FIFA's full-year revenue to a record
11:5713 billion dollars.
11:59Today, opinions on his legacy are deeply split.
12:02Some see him as the master manager who successfully rebuilt FIFA from its 2015 ashes.
12:09Orders view him as the ultimate symbol of corporate greed.
12:12And on his social media accounts, his post often end with the hashtag
12:16Football Unites the World.
12:18But as this tournament shows, there is always another thing that unites.
12:22And it is money.
12:23And as ethical investigations mount, football's ultimate businessman might find his luck is finally running out.
12:37And 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 your users' Vincenzo Genovese.
12:44So bring us up to speed.
12:45What is the latest?
12:46Good morning, Maeve.
12:47France and Argentina won their opening game.
12:50And it was another great show by Lionel Messi, his majesty, with a nut-trick to Algeria, 20 years after
12:59his 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.
13:10But the other side of the coin in this game is the sufferance from the stance of Zinedine Zidane,
13:16former world champions with France, the legend of the football, sufferance because his son Luka Zidane is the goalkeeper of
13:25Algeria.
13:25And he wasn't perfect in the game yesterday, especially 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 against Jordan has just finished with 3-1 outcome.
13:40And among those who got up very early this morning to watch it was Lucas Mandl, a member of the
13:45European Parliament.
13:46Who's also a big football aficionado and he joins us now from Strasbourg.
13:50Good 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.
13:58It's an exciting morning from an Austrian perspective.
14:01It'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.
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 after 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 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,
14:57it's a big variety of different results and different achievements so far.
15:04But we are in the beginning of the group phase, so there's not much to tell yet.
15:09Of 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.
15:25And in this World Cup, we also see many players who are born and raised in Europe,
15:30especially in France, who 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 that even more and more people than ever before
15:47have more than one national identity due to their ancestors,
15:51due to their personal life story and so on.
15:53So it's absolutely fair enough that a player with, for example, Algerian roots like Luca Zidane,
16:01the son of Zinedine Zidane, would play for Algeria while his father played for France.
16:08I, for example, I'm in politics, not in football, but my mother is Dutch originally.
16:12My father is Austrian and generally, if I compare it with the European level for European Parliament,
16:19somebody can run no matter in what country, as long as this person would be a European citizen.
16:25Okay.
16:25Lucas Mandel, Austrian member of the European Parliament,
16:28taking a break from politics to talk football with us here on Europe Today.
16:32Thank you so much for joining us.
16:34And what about France, Vincenzo?
16:36We can't not talk about France.
16:38It was a pretty good start for them, right?
16:39Yes, it was a brilliant start, a 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 because it wasn't easy.
16:55And especially the ones in the village of Ayat, because they also got pizza for free.
17:00Defender Maxence Lacroix decided to offer pizza to all the people of his hometown
17:07who gathered to watch France World Cup games.
17:10So really, a beau geste, a 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 to bring the community together?
17:20That's one good thing, of course, that football can do.
17:23So what should we look out for next, Vincenzo?
17:25Well, today, England against Croatia and Portugal against Congo are the most relevant matches.
17:34Let's see what Cristiano Ronaldo does after 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 for him to win.
17:46And who are the other big stars we should look out for for this match?
17:50Just briefly.
17:51The big stars?
17:51The big stars, of course, we say Cristiano Ronaldo.
17:55I also will take a look to Vitinha, which to me is the best midfielder in the World Cup.
18:00And he is the soul of the Portuguese team.
18:03A gripping, a gripping tournament.
18:05Vincenzo Genovese, thank you so much for that update.
18:07And that brings this edition of Europe Today to an end.
