00:34The leaders of Europe's five militarily leading states will come together in Berlin this afternoon.
00:40The E5 meeting, chaired by Germany's Friedrich Merz at the Chancellery, will discuss strengthening Ukraine's defense and sanctions against Russia.
00:49Joining Merz are the leaders of France, Italy, Poland and Britain, despite the current political drama in London.
00:57War or Peace in Iran
00:59Lower-level negotiators are continuing to engage in what officials described as technical talks in Switzerland,
01:06following the departure of the principles, U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance and the Iranian top negotiators.
01:13The main sticking point? What happens to Iran's nuclear capabilities?
01:17We'll talk to Wendy Sherman, who was Barack Obama's lead negotiator for the Iran nuclear deal back in 2015.
01:24War or Peace in Lebanon
01:26While the U.S. and Iran hash it out at the negotiation table, Israel still has none of it.
01:33The country will continue its offensive on Lebanon until Hezbollah is fully dismantled, not just disarmed,
01:40Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said.
01:43This comes as criticism grows inside Israel over Washington's handling of talks with Iran.
01:50We'll hear the latest from our correspondent in Tyre.
01:53And what happened at the World Cup last night?
01:57I will fill you in.
01:58But first, Ukraine.
02:00As the war grinds on and uncertainty over future U.S. support lingers,
02:05leaders of the European Five, that's Germany, France, Italy, Poland and Britain,
02:10are stepping up diplomatic efforts.
02:12At a meeting in Berlin later today, they plan to discuss support for Ukraine
02:17amid ongoing Russian aggression and to strengthen security in Europe.
02:21During the event, NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte plans to join online,
02:26which aligns with preparations for the July NATO summit in Ankara.
02:31For more on this, I'm joined on set by our correspondent, Sascha Vakulina.
02:36Good morning, Sascha.
02:37Good morning, Stefan.
02:37So, bring us up to speed.
02:39What are the exact topics this afternoon?
02:42Well, the leaders are going to discuss some of the conclusions of the G7 summit in Avian in France
02:49when it comes to providing more support for Ukraine,
02:52specifically, of course, when it comes to air defense.
02:54Now, Ukraine's president, Volodymyr Zelensky, said last night
02:57that what he wants to see is the exact planning and the schedule
03:01for the deliveries of the air defense as agreed at the G7 summit.
03:05But also, with Donald Trump, of course, pushing Europe to take more responsibility
03:11and to take more of the burden, this will be another important topic
03:14because just over the past couple of days, Ukraine and Germany agreed to develop
03:20anti-ballistic capabilities, which is a huge development when it comes to Europe's role
03:26in the general security architecture and their capabilities,
03:29not leaving that an anti-ballistic air defense with the U.S. production only.
03:35And, of course, you know, the optics are very interesting for Kiyostama
03:38that might be very well his farewell meeting with the other leaders
03:42and we'll see how that goes.
03:44And Volodymyr Zelensky is probably joining the conversation as well online.
03:49It's going to be an interesting atmosphere.
03:51You mentioned Kiyostama on his way out
03:54and then the Polish prime minister, Donald Tusk,
03:57who is embroiled in this, you know, escalation with Ukraine, diplomatic escalation.
04:03What do you make of this?
04:04Indeed. You know, we have to watch that meeting in Berlin very closely
04:08to see there's going to be any contact between Tusk and Zelensky as well.
04:11Ukraine Recovery Conference is starting tomorrow in Poland, in Gdańsk.
04:16After so much speculation, Zelensky's office confirmed that he is not going to be in Poland
04:21and instead Ukraine's delegation will be led by Ukraine's prime minister.
04:25Now, Yulia Svododenko herself tried to strike a very cautious tone
04:29and to focus on investment and business opportunities on the conference.
04:34She just very briefly commented on her intentions as she's going to be leading this delegation,
04:41saying Ukraine respects its partners and builds cooperation on the principle of mutual respect.
04:48And that's it.
04:49Now, at the same time, Polish prime minister Donald Tusk is trying to sort this out
04:55and trying to find the way out of this very much escalated diplomatic crisis between Warsaw and Kyiv.
05:01And he said he is not willing to add more fuel into that fire when he said,
05:06given Poland's strategic security, I will not have a hand in fueling these tensions.
05:11It is in the long-term interests of Poland to build relations with Ukraine based on a vision of the
05:16future.
05:17And indeed, with Russia waging its war against Ukraine for over four years now,
05:21both Ukraine and Poland don't have other options and other choice,
05:26apart from coordinating and cooperating when it comes to security, geopolitics,
05:30and the mutual respect and relations between these two neighboring countries.
05:34Yeah, hot temperatures outside as well as inside in Berlin.
05:39Sasha, thank you very much.
05:41Moving on to the other global hotspot.
05:43The first round of negotiations between the United States and Iran and Switzerland
05:47has ended with encouraging progress, mediators from Qatar and Pakistan said.
05:52For the view from an experienced diplomat,
05:55Euronews' Maeve McMahon spoke to Wendy Sherman,
05:58Barack Obama's chief negotiator on the 2015 Iran nuclear agreement.
06:02She asked her about her thoughts on the long road ahead to a peace agreement.
06:08I don't think that President Trump should have undertaken this war.
06:13It has been disastrous, not only for the people in the United States,
06:17but for people all around the world and for the people in Iran,
06:22which is how he started all of this.
06:24But their lives are worse, not better.
06:27So, given where we are, I think we are all glad that the Strait of Hormuz is opening.
06:35I wouldn't say it is open really fully yet, but opening.
06:40I think it's good that they are negotiating.
06:44But what is really occurring is not clear,
06:46because the United States is saying one thing and Iran is saying something else.
06:50But better to have talks than not.
06:54Indeed, it's better to talk.
06:55And just based on your assessment on what we know so far,
06:58on your understanding of the framework of deal,
07:01what is your first takeaway, if you like?
07:03My first takeaway is the MOU gives Iran quite a bit for not very much.
07:08Really, it's to get the Strait of Hormuz open
07:10and get the world economy moving again.
07:13And for the United States to remove all oil sanctions after 40 years of sanctions is just extraordinary.
07:22It's quite a price to pay for getting the Strait open.
07:26I think that if the IAEA, the International Atomic Energy Agency, gets back into Iran,
07:33even though Iran says that is not agreed, that would be a very positive thing,
07:37because you can't do anything in the negotiations or anything that you resolve
07:42without knowing that you can verify and monitor what the reality is.
07:47And we need the IAEA on the ground to be able to do that.
07:51I'm glad they're discussing Lebanon, if they are indeed doing so.
07:55Israel has said they are beginning talks with Lebanon.
08:00I think that the president of Lebanon has said that he requires Israel to leave all of their occupation of
08:07Lebanon.
08:07There is a very long way to go.
08:09In fact, I think at the end of the day, unfortunately, Iran is in a stronger position, not a weaker
08:16one.
08:16Does that mean Iran has essentially won this war?
08:19I do think that Iran has certainly put itself in a stronger position.
08:25They can close the Strait of Hormuz at any point that they want.
08:29They have shown that they are resilient, that a military effort alone cannot undo them,
08:36which I've known for a long time.
08:39The only good thing that's come out of this is that perhaps that people have finally understood
08:45that diplomacy is necessary.
08:47Military action will not solve this problem.
08:51And we see it's Steve Whitcoff and Jared Kushner, the main negotiators here.
08:55Do you think they have enough understanding of the complexity of the issues?
08:59Well, I think the problem is that to do this negotiation, you really need a team of people.
09:05You need nuclear physicists, people who understand sanctions, people who understand currency,
09:12intelligence assets, lawyers, a whole manor, a whole team.
09:18And it doesn't appear that that exists now.
09:21And you, of course, personally know the Iranian foreign minister.
09:23You negotiated with him in the past on the Iran nuclear deal.
09:27What cards do you think he'll play this time around?
09:29Well, Abbas Arachi is very smart, very capable, very litiginous, as all Iranian negotiators are.
09:58We've seen American taxpayers paying the price of this war, but also here in Europe.
10:03But Europeans not having much of a say in the negotiations.
10:06Any tips or advice for European leaders on what card they should be playing here?
10:10I think continuing to have dialogue with the United States in whatever way you can,
10:15with Secretary Rubio and others, with any ambassadors or chargés that are in place,
10:22to make your interests known and how you might help,
10:27as we all hope for more peace in the future and less horror.
10:36Maeve McMahon there, speaking to veteran U.S. negotiator Wendy Sherman.
10:41The path to peace is bumpy.
10:43After two days of relative calm, Israeli troops opened fire in southern Lebanon yesterday,
10:49killing two people and wounding two.
10:51The Israeli military said it struck armed terrorists,
10:55while Hezbollah spoke of a blatant violation of the truce.
10:59Let's head over to Tyre now, where our correspondent Eqbal Zayn has the latest for us from that theater of
11:06war.
11:06Good morning, Eqbal.
11:08So, what is the situation on the ground this morning,
11:11and how do people feel about the peace talks in Switzerland?
11:15Well, life is returning slowly to the city of Sur,
11:18although the destruction is massive and the airstrikes have left their impact everywhere.
11:24Yesterday, I went to the street and I spoke to people to see their perception of the ceasefire
11:29and whether they think that the war will return or not.
11:33What I've seen is that people are cautious,
11:35but there is more hope than we have seen in the previous rounds of negotiations.
11:40And many believe that the Iranian efforts have paved the way for a ceasefire in Lebanon.
11:46At the same time, there is this concern about the Israeli refusal to withdraw from southern Lebanon
11:53and that this situation may become prolonged and similar to the occupation that lasted until the year 2000.
12:01On the other hand, others believe that the Israeli military might withdraw under military and international pressure.
12:09Let's take a listen.
12:11From our perspective, looking at the situation regarding the ceasefire, well, we don't see any stability.
12:19We certainly rule out a resumption of the war,
12:22and we hope, God willing, that the ceasefire holds.
12:26I belong to a generation that has known many wars.
12:29I was born in 1983, and since then I have lived through three wars waged by Israel.
12:38So, Iqbal, the situation in Lebanon is so volatile, partly because Hezbollah refuses to disarm.
12:48When we talk about the disarmament of Hezbollah, there is always those questions about whether it's by force or negotiations
12:56or in south of Lebanon only or all over Lebanon.
13:00In south of Lebanon, Hezbollah has previously linked its heading over its weapon to a full Israeli withdrawal from the
13:08Lebanese territory.
13:09As for all of Lebanon, it has linked it to a national defense strategy, which he says that the government
13:17has failed to provide.
13:21But, also, for the implementation of the disarmament, the Lebanese army, as you know, is tasked to do this.
13:28But, the Lebanese army has its own challenges because it have, so far, avoided to go into this confrontation with
13:37Hezbollah
13:38to protect and preserve the civil peace, and on the other hand, to protect its own unit.
13:43What I've seen when I talk to people is that there is also a clear polarization among people
13:50because many of the southern people feel that the Lebanese state and the Lebanese army have abandoned them.
13:56So, I think this file is very critical at the moment and will not be solved in the short term
14:02and needs a national, responsible, and a long dialogue.
14:08All right, Iqbal Sane, thank you very much for that update.
14:13Let's go to Spain now, where Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez faces the heat.
14:17And I'm not talking about the scorching temperatures.
14:20Allegations of corruption involving close allies and top members of his socialist party
14:25have triggered a political storm, with the opposition accusing him of presiding over a culture of influence-peddling
14:32and demanding early elections.
14:34Sánchez denies any wrongdoing and insists he's the target of a campaign aimed at bringing down his government.
14:41For more, let's head over to our correspondent, Cristina Tückier, in Madrid.
14:47Good morning, Cristina.
14:49So, Pedro Sánchez is due to appear before Congress today.
14:52How serious is this moment for the Prime Minister and for the Socialist Party?
14:59Good morning from Madrid.
15:02This is, without a doubt, one of the biggest political crises that Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has faced since he
15:09came to power.
15:10On Monday, one of his former close allies, former Transport Minister José Luis Avalos,
15:16was sentenced to over 24 years in prison in a corruption case.
15:20And let's not forget, it is not the only case surrounding the Spanish Prime Minister at the moment.
15:26In his close political and personal circle, several people are facing corruption charges, including his brother and his wife.
15:34Now, these allegations are very serious for Pedro Sánchez, who has built his whole political career
15:39around transparency, democracy and fighting corruption.
15:43So, it is expected today that he, in Congress, will try to persuade his coalition partners
15:51to maintain his government in power and to try to show them that he is still a trustworthy leader.
15:59Yeah, you mentioned it.
16:01What should we expect from his appearance in Congress?
16:04And could these scandals threaten the survival of his government?
16:10They absolutely can.
16:11So, today, we are expecting Sánchez and his ministers to try to make a separation between these cases and the
16:20Socialist Party.
16:21They will try to argue that these corruption cases are because of individual actions,
16:28that the party has taken the necessary measures,
16:31and that they are not a symptom of a systemic corruption in the Socialist Party,
16:37which is exactly what the opposition has been saying from the very beginning.
16:42So, this is a very big problem for Sánchez, who is also facing this week two votes,
16:47one in the Senate, one in the Congress.
16:49Even though they're not legally binding, they're very telling,
16:52as they will show, whether or not he still has support from his coalition partners
16:57and the Parliament and the Senate.
17:00So, this week will be crucial for Pedro Sánchez,
17:03as he is facing a lot of political turmoil.
17:08Wow, that's all I can say.
17:10Cristina, Tikia, and Madrid for us, thank you for helping us understand this situation.
17:15And now it's time for the World Cup.
17:24Cristiano Ronaldo wrote himself into the football record books
17:28as Portugal thrashed Uzbekistan 5-0.
17:31The 41-year-old became the first player ever to score at six World Cups
17:36and now trails early golden boot pace setter Lionel Messi by three goals.
17:41It was Portugal's first win at this tournament,
17:43putting them all but through to the next round.
17:46Big disappointment in England.
17:49The three Lions drew a blank in their second game against Ghana,
17:52despite an almost 80% ball possession.
17:55Remember, England was seen as one of the top favorites before the tournament?
17:59Well, that status seems to be diminished now.
18:02The 0-0 was rather a reality check by stubborn Ghana
18:06and left Group L in the balance.
18:08Largely because Croatia beat Panama 1-0
18:11and remained in contention for a last 32-spot.
18:14A win on Saturday against Ghana would confirm Croatia's place in the knockout phase.
18:20On the other hand, Panama's second defeat means they are eliminated from the tournament.
18:25And finally, Colombia went to bed with a 1-0 victory against Congo.
18:30That means they are through to the knockouts
18:32and have a top spot in Group K in their own hands,
18:35while Congo will likely need a win to progress as one of the best third-place teams.
18:40Six games on the menu tonight and early tomorrow morning.
18:43Among them, Switzerland against Canada, Scotland versus Brazil,
18:47and the Czech Republic against Mexico.
18:50That does it for us today.
18:52Thank you for joining us this morning.
