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

00:25where 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

01:12Senegal. Austria also entered the tournament this morning, playing in their first World Cup in almost

01:18three decades. We'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? We'll tell you everything

01:31you need to know about the FIFA President. But first, our top story takes us to Evian-les-Bains,

01:36where the most powerful leaders in the 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. For more, we can go straight to our Europe editor,

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

02:03Great to have you with us. And now we're used to G6 plus one, but this time we see the

02:08US also

02:09jumping on board. Tell us more.

02:13Yes, Maeve, good morning. And that is really the value of that joint statement. It's not a

02:17communicated statement and that declaration coming in together last night after midnight,

02:22but it does name check the President of the US and it is endorsed by the G7 leader. So that

02:27is

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

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

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

02:42night, 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

02:54war 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 an

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

03:25of those sanctions and increase the pressure on Russia. We should note, however, and this is important, they do not

03:31say when they would come in those sanctions. They also do not detail how big they would be. And there

03:37is no timeline or horizon in this declaration. We should also note, and this is relevant because

03:42ultimately diplomacy is also the art of sitting together. We have not seen a bilateral meeting

03:48between President Zelensky and President Trump. They did have a working session yesterday. President

03:53Zelensky was around the table, but it was a group session. We have not seen face-to-face time

03:59with the two of them sitting down quietly for a long period. So again, there was a lot of

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

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

04:14tomorrow. But 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. 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 tolls. 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

05:21U.S. who reiterated yesterday that the tolls will not happen, that the Strait of Hormuz will reopen

05:28fully by Friday and that ceremony in Switzerland will go ahead. I should stress, however, there is a

05:36document, 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,

06:12perhaps, 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 Taddeo, 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

06:33the only item on the menu, with AI and tech also slated for talks. For more, we can bring in

06:38Euronews' correspondent, 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 on

07:10Evian. 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.

08:18Yes, 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 kickoff

08:30of the FIFA World Cup. Mertz then posted on social media platform X, happy belated 80th birthday,

08:38POTUS. After all, we're on the same team. Of course, this comes off the back of Mertz's

08:43previously criticising Trump for the ongoing war in Iran, stating that the ceasefire talks

08:49are humiliating Washington. Hopefully, here, this will paper over some of those divisions

08:55that have emerged. Of course, Trump announcing the withdrawal of US troops from Germany. But those

09:01hot mic moments that you referenced, this G7 seems to be plagued with politicians being caught

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.

09:24How to see your own siphon? No.

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 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. So throughout the day, do consult

09:58euronews.com. But 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 has

10:13been 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 Jacobian has tells us more

10:23about the FIFA boss 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 the

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

10:45it will be already a career game changer, but not for Infantino. Maybe sometimes it's good as well to

10:51just, you know, chill, relax. All 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

11:08from luxury. His mother ran a railway station newsstand while his father worked on sleeping

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

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

11:26the infamous 2015 FIFA gate corruption scandal. When the FBI arrested top officials and sidelined

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

11:39as an ambitious bureaucrat who roughly plotted to take his boss's crown. After that, Infantino

11:45concentrated all decision-making power and remade FIFA into a money-making machine. And expanding the

11:51tournaments from 32 to 48 teams has pushed FIFA's four-year revenue to a record $13 billion.

11:59Today, opinions on his legacy are deeply split. Some see him as the master manager who successfully

12:06rebuilt FIFA from its 2015 ashes. Oders view him as the ultimate symbol of corporate greed.

12:12And on his social media accounts, his post often end with the hashtag

12:17footballunitestheworld. 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,

12:27might find his luck is 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

12:44to speed. What is the latest?

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

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

13:00Cup.

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.

13:09But 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 Luca Zidane

13:24is the goalkeeper of Algeria. And 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.

13:33Of course, this is football. And we saw Austria's very first game this morning against Jordan

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

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

13:48And he joins us now from Strasbourg. Good morning, Mr. Mandel. 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.

14:11But what counts in the end is the result. And the result is very promising for the rest of the

14:16World Cup.

14:18Good morning, Lucas. Good morning. Austria 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, it's a big variety of different results and different achievements so

15:04far.

15:04But we are in the beginning of the group phase, so there's not much to tell yet.

15:09Of course, the European teams are in the forefront of what we as Europeans should observe.

15:15But 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.

15:24Okay. And in this World Cup, we also see many players who are born and raised in Europe, especially in

15:31France,

15:32who have chosen to play for their country of origin or 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 have more than

15:48one national identity

15:49due to their ancestors, due 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.

16:07I, for example, I'm in politics, not in football, but my mother is Dutch originally, my father is Austrian.

16:15And 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.

16:24Okay. Lucas 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?

16:36So 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 Senegal.

16:47But at the end, France won 3-1.

16:50Bappé 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 who gathered to watch France World

17:09Cup games.

17:11So really, a beau geste, a kind gesture from Lacroix, even though pizza is not exactly a French food.

17:18No, it's not. But 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?

17:26Well, 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. The big stars?

17:51The big stars, of course, 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.
