00:00Dzień dobry, jest tuesday 30 June, jestem Maiv McManhyn i to jest Europe Today.
00:21Your daily update of European news and analysis live here on Euronews.
00:25Coming up, a huge blow for the Mannschaft.
00:29Four-time World Cup winner Germany crashes out of the World Cup in a dramatic penalty shootout.
00:35We'll cross live to Berlin for all the reactions.
00:38And after delicate talks in Brussels with his Chinese counterpart,
00:43the EU's top trade negotiator, Mariusz Sefcovic,
00:46has set an October deadline to resolve a long list of trade disputes between Brussels and Beijing.
00:52We'll have the latest from our correspondent, Angela Scudins.
00:56Meanwhile, Europe's deadly heat zone has moved east,
00:59with red warnings issued today in Hungary, Poland and Romania,
01:03and authorities urging people to stay indoors.
01:06Across the continent, wildfires have broken out,
01:09while violent storms and flash floods have also been reported.
01:13Plus, the EU's lending arm, that's the European Investment Bank,
01:17has announced its largest ever commercial loan,
01:20a 3 billion euro package for the European aircraft manufacturer Airbus.
01:24We'll speak exclusively to the bank's president, Nadia Calviño.
01:28But first, US and Iranian delegations are heading to Qatar today,
01:32although no direct bilateral meeting has been confirmed.
01:34The talks were expected to focus on implementing the Memorandum of Understanding signed recently between Washington and Tehran.
01:41But expectations are low, and even President Trump appears to have lost his enthusiasm.
01:51Donald Trump lowering his expectations really ahead of those talks.
01:55For more on the talks, we can head now to Qatar and bring in our correspondent, Leila Humarai,
02:02who's following the talks for us this morning.
02:04Look, a lot of confusion over the talks, Leila, whether they're happening.
02:07Just tell us, what is going on?
02:11Good morning, Maeve. That's right.
02:13Our team here in Doha is closely watching developments of these negotiations
02:17that are set to take place here in Doha today and this week.
02:21Although, as you mentioned, doubts still remain whether Iran will attend
02:25or if they will meet with the US delegation face to face.
02:29What seems clear is that Trump's special envoys Steve Wyckoff and Jared Kushner
02:33are on their way to Qatar and set to be arriving in the coming hours later today,
02:38which we'll also be keeping a close eye on.
02:41Now, following that breakthrough in Switzerland and these talks in Doha,
02:45it seems that Qatar's role in mediating have stepped up.
02:49And as mediators, what Qatar and Pakistan would want is for both sides, the US and Iran,
02:55to either preserve or advance the memorandum of understanding and roadmap
03:00that both have agreed to in Switzerland.
03:03So, regardless of where these talks and negotiations take place,
03:07the upcoming weeks will be crucial for all parties involved.
03:12And just tell us, meanwhile, what is the situation along the Strait of Hormuz?
03:17That's right. The situation in the Strait of Hormuz remains extremely fragile
03:22with tensions and attacks flaring up again just a couple of days ago.
03:26Now, traffic has been trickling very slowly, but it's clear that it's not.
03:31Oh, it's far and well below its normal capacity.
03:35Now, the critical shipping waterway effectively is still being controlled by Iran,
03:40despite what the US says that freedom of navigation has been restored
03:44and it is the situation, it is under control.
03:48Tevran instead has been doubling down on its grip on the Strait of Hormuz
03:53by essentially warning again ships and vessels that they can only take routes
03:58that have been approved by the IRGC.
04:01And we know that this is a major sticking point.
04:04Reopening of the Strait of Hormuz is a major sticking point in these negotiations.
04:09Okay, Leila Humarai, keeping a very close eye on that story for us.
04:12Thank you so much for that live broadcast there from Doha.
04:15But now, turning to trade.
04:16In closely watched talks, China's Commerce Minister has wrapped up meetings
04:20with the EU Trade Chief Maris Sefcovic.
04:23Talks went late into the night to try to trash out a deal
04:27on how to manage the mammoth trade deficit, which is not in Europe's favour.
04:31Our correspondent, Angela Scugins, followed the late-night talks
04:34and is here with us now in the studio.
04:36Angela, will more talks narrow this gap, do you think?
04:38Good morning, Mays.
04:39So this is certainly the hope of the European Commissioner for Trade Maris Sefcovic.
04:43Over a week ago, he was given a mandate by the 27 EU Heads of State
04:47to try and figure out a way forward when it comes to these macroeconomic imbalances.
04:52This is a shorthand in Brussels for that mammoth trade deficit,
04:56valued at €360 billion, with Beijing having the upper hand here.
05:01Right now, Europe's market is currently flooded with a glut
05:04of cheap Chinese-made goods made through subsidies.
05:08We're talking about batteries, cars and other electronics.
05:12Now, Sefcovic is following a two-prong approach, speaking to China,
05:17but also exploring what's in Europe's arsenal to bring China
05:20to the negotiating table, but it's super fragile
05:22because Beijing has threatened to retaliate if the EU is too bolshie.
05:27But we did hear from the Commissioner.
05:29He released a statement halfway through these talks Monday evening
05:32in which he stated China's export to the EU keeps rising
05:36while our market share in China keeps shrinking.
05:40The status quo is not an option.
05:42Our teams have a clear mandate to deliver tangible results by October this year.
05:47So the Commissioner clearly setting a timeline here.
05:50He wants outcomes by October.
05:53But I spoke to a trade expert, Alicia Garcia Herrero,
05:58who gave us a bit of an outline of how these conversations
06:01could have actually unfolded behind the scenes,
06:04and stating that unless Europe is serious with its wish list,
06:08China won't take the continent seriously.
06:11So if I were China, I would come and say,
06:14you don't seem ready to take decisions.
06:17Remember, we will retaliate.
06:19That's what Wantao is going to say.
06:20The question is, we should put on the table a clear negotiation scheme.
06:26That's what we want, A, B, C.
06:28And the question is, do we have that?
06:30Do we have that wish list that Wantao should bring back home
06:35to avoid a trade war?
06:37And if not, does that mean we could be heading towards this trade war?
06:40So the diplomats that I've spoken to have stated
06:43that this is not clearly what's happening.
06:46The scenes between China and the EU doesn't resemble what we're seeing
06:49between the US and China, for example, severe escalation.
06:54There's also quite a bit of optimism from the European Commissioner
06:56here setting that October deadline,
06:59stating that there will be a clear roadmap for negotiations
07:01and how those talks could resemble.
07:05But Alicia Garcia Herrero has stated that the writing is clearly on the wall.
07:10China isn't playing ball here.
07:12And this could be seen as late last year when they slapped export controls
07:16on critical rare earth minerals.
07:18And Europe really needs to wake up and deal with the beast in the east.
07:23We're not starting a war.
07:25We're just basically levelling the playing field.
07:28So for me, that would be the narrative we should use.
07:31So after these talks in October,
07:34what is clear is that Brussels needs to explore what else it can do,
07:37whether this is triggering the anti-coercion instrument,
07:39so shutting off China from the EU single market,
07:42whether other options are on the table,
07:44such as export controls, quotas, tariffs,
07:48or more dialogue is needed.
07:50The Commissioner did state that through every conversation,
07:53progress is being made.
07:55But whether this progress is valued at €360 billion is yet to be seen, Maeve.
08:00That indeed is the question.
08:00Very delicate talks.
08:01Anja Skujan, thank you so much for that very comprehensive update.
08:05But now moving on, the European Investment Bank
08:07has announced its largest ever commercial loan,
08:10dedicating €3 billion to boosting aerospace giant Airbus.
08:14For more on the deal, Euronews' Margaret Gwynne spoke exclusively
08:17to the bank's president, Nadia Calvino,
08:19and started by asking her whether this investment was a response
08:22to the competitiveness crisis facing Europe.
08:27We are announcing a flagship deal.
08:30It's a loan to Airbus, a €3 billion loan,
08:34the largest ever to a corporate by the European Investment Bank,
08:37precisely to support their strategic plan in the area of aerospace
08:41and also security and defence.
08:43And I think it's a good illustration of how Europe is ramping up its capacity
08:47and strategic autonomy.
08:48And I must ask you, because recently we saw a major project collapse,
08:52essentially, the Franco-German fighter jet project,
08:56because companies couldn't see past their industrial rivalries
09:00and work together towards a common goal.
09:02Is that a problem that you see in Europe?
09:05Well, it is an issue, the fact that we're 27 countries, 27 democracies,
09:12and obviously there are divergent views on many issues.
09:15But that's why it's so important to flag this agreement with Airbus,
09:19because Airbus is the great success story of Europe.
09:23We're a profitable company, a global leader in key areas,
09:28aerospace, security and defence.
09:30And so that's why I think it is important to also flag those areas
09:34where we are moving in the right direction, as is the case in these loans.
09:38And it is true that the EIB is shifting its focus more towards defence investments.
09:45Do you see that as the future of your institution moving more into becoming almost a defence bank?
09:51And where does that leave other priorities like energy and green policies and so on?
09:56The European Investment Bank has proven to be flexible to adjust to Europe's changing priorities.
10:01We need to adjust to the new geopolitical context.
10:04And we're very strongly aligned with Europe's policy priorities
10:07and the member states that are our shareholders, as you know, the 27 member states.
10:13Our governors have endorsed our roadmap, our strategic roadmap, which has three top priorities.
10:19The first one is consolidating our role as the climate bank.
10:23Secondly, technological leadership, supporting innovation and scaling up.
10:28And thirdly, security and defence.
10:30And we are playing our role as Europe's financing arm,
10:33but also one of the world's largest multilateral development institutions in these three areas in particular.
10:40Of course, the political rhetoric around the importance of climate policies,
10:45climate mitigation investments has really shifted in recent years.
10:48If we were sitting here five years ago, the rhetoric coming from the Commission here was very different.
10:52Do you fear that there's a rhetoric discourse now that says that climate policies and Europe's industrial competitiveness are incompatible?
11:03I think that beyond noise and rhetoric, as you're saying, and not very productive debate, in my view, the reality
11:11is quite stubborn.
11:12And the reality is that there is an energy revolution in full swing in Europe and the world.
11:17The reality is that we need to break free from our excessive dependence on fossil fuels.
11:24And, you know, more and more often I have the impression that the EIB is not only Europe's climate bank,
11:30but the world's climate bank,
11:31because in many other jurisdictions, maybe they have a different narrative.
11:36But the reality is that private companies are also getting on with it and investing in the clean transition because
11:43it's not only the right thing to do, but the smart thing to do.
11:46But we did hear you leaders back in February promise this new economic reset, a new economic agenda by June.
11:54That's kind of past now. And the economic, the global economic outlook is clearly much more gloomy due to the
12:00war in Iran.
12:00Do you worry about that broader outlook and what it could mean for Europe?
12:05Well, obviously, the geopolitical context is very complex and the geoeconomic context is very complicated,
12:12because all the elements that have underpinned Europe's phenomenal success since the end of World War Two are being put
12:19to the test
12:20or openly contested and challenged or attacked by, you know, from many sides.
12:25But that, you know, in this context, it is more important than ever that we have a clear compass, that
12:32we keep united,
12:33because united we are we are very powerful.
12:36We are I always say we're unstoppable where we where we join our forces, European Union countries and and determined,
12:44you know, to pursue this path.
12:45And what I see is a strong determination on the side of our leaders to continue to face those challenges
12:51together.
12:55Nadia Calvino, they're speaking to our married Gwyn. But next, big news from Serbia.
12:59President Aleksandr Vucic has said he will resign and call early elections with mass protests,
13:05mounting pressure from Brussels and the country's EU ambitions hanging in the balance.
13:10Our Jakub Janus looks beyond this headline.
13:14Serbia is experiencing a monumental political shake-up.
13:18Last weekend, President Aleksandr Vucic stunned the nation by announcing he will resign within weeks
13:23and called early presidential and parliamentary elections.
13:27But your reporter has one advice. Do not mistake this for a total surrender.
13:31This move looks more like a calculated strategy from a politician who has dominated Serbian politics since 2012.
13:37Let's investigate, shall we?
13:42What you need to know is that for over 18 months, student-led demonstrations have been shaking Belgrade.
13:48This protest movement erupted after a tragic railway station canopy collapse in Novi Sad,
13:53killing 16 people and exposing, according to students and opposition parties, systemic state corruption.
13:59And Vucic is launching now a tactical pivot, constitutionally barred from seeking another presidential term next year.
14:07Experts expects him to return to power by running for prime minister instead.
14:11With local polling placing his party at 47%, voter support, and the student movement at just under 31%,
14:19Vucic is gambling that snap elections will consolidate his rule.
14:22And he routinely brands the protesters as foreign agents who want to destabilize the country.
14:28At the same time, he pledges to accelerate EU membership goals,
14:32while fiercely protecting traditional alliances with Moscow and Beijing.
14:36This geopolitical tightrope is becoming incredibly expensive.
14:40The EU is currently waiting a critical decision to slash up to 1.5 billion euros in development funds.
14:47And Brussels is highly alarmed by laws that strip judges of their independence,
14:52violent police crackdowns on student rallies, and constant state interference in independent newsrooms.
14:58And as the biggest financial backer of the country,
15:01the EU provided over half a billion euros in non-repayable grants between 2021 and 2024.
15:08And actually, official figures from Belgrade reveal that total EU funding and investments
15:13have surpassed 7 billion euros since the year 2000.
15:17For a long time, Vucic has aimed to appease Brussels just enough to safeguard that cash
15:23without sacrificing his eastern allies.
15:26Now the presidency will change hands,
15:28but the main force of Serbian politics has no plans to retire from the political stage.
15:39Jakob Janis reporting for us there.
15:41And now it's time for our FIFA World Cup update.
15:48Well, it was a terrible night for European football overall
15:52and heavyweights Germany and the Netherlands are both out after penalty shootout.
15:56It's the first time they lose in a World Cup penalty shootout.
16:00It's the first big surprise of the tournament for the reactions in Berlin.
16:04We can go straight over to Germany and bring in our Laura Fleischmann,
16:07who's following the match and the reactions for us.
16:09Laura, what a blow.
16:11I mean, the individual talent on the German team is bigger than this terrible result.
16:15Germans must be shocked this morning.
16:19Good morning, Maeve.
16:21And yes, German football fans were very shocked.
16:23This was a disappointing loss, truly a catastrophic loss against Paraguay.
16:28Many people thought this would be a safe win.
16:30However, the German players failed to convince during this game.
16:34They failed to take control of the game, even though they scored a second goal,
16:39which was perhaps unfairly disallowed.
16:41And German football coach Julian Nagelsmann told the players beforehand
16:45to be a little bit more streetwise in their approach to this game.
16:49However, they failed to do so as well.
16:51And going forward, Nagelsmann already stated that he's not planning on resigning.
16:56He said that he wants to remain head coach unless the German Football Association,
17:00the DFB, asks him to resign.
17:02But there has been a name thrown into the ring for a new potential head coach, Jürgen Klopp.
17:08Okay, a very familiar name, of course.
17:11Laura Fleischmann, thank you so much for that live broadcast there from Berlin.
17:14And a similar downbeat energy in the Netherlands today,
17:17who've also got to pack their bags after drawing Morocco one all
17:20and then losing in the penalty shootout.
17:23Meanwhile, Brazil beat Japan 2-1 in a last minute victory during extra time
17:27and will face the winner of tonight's clash between Norway and the Côte d'Ivoire in the round of 16.
17:33Also coming up tonight is France and Sweden facing each other in a European duel at 11 CET.
17:40And of course, Morocco awaiting as their rival in the next phase.
17:43But that brings this edition of Europe Today to an end.
17:46Thank you so much for your company as always.
17:49Do reach out to us at EuropeToday at Euronews.com
17:52with any of your thoughts or points.
