00:14Buongiorno, è Tuesday 16th June, io sono Mave McMahin e questo è Europe Today,
00:20il giorno di dose di news e analisi con un europeo take.
00:23Coming up, the European Union has officially opened the EU accession process with Ukraine and Moldova
00:29after 27 member states approved the move at a meeting in Luxembourg.
00:34The announcement comes as firefighters continue to clear the aftermath of a Russian strike
00:40that severely damaged a 1,000 euro cathedral in Kyiv,
00:44renowned for its historic frescoes and silver artefacts.
00:47Meanwhile, after more than a decade of deadlock,
00:50the EU has agreed on a major overhaul of air passenger rights.
00:55The reforms would allow travellers to claim compensation for flight delays of more than three hours
01:00and would give passengers the right to disembark after two hours on the tarmac.
01:05The package still needs to be rubber-stamped by the Parliament and the Council.
01:09And another nail-bating night for World Cup fans.
01:13Spanish supporters were left red-faced after a stalemate with Cape Verde,
01:17while the Belgian Red Devils were pushed all the way by Egypt,
01:20with that match also ending in a draw.
01:23But first, global leaders are gathering in the French spa town of Avion-les-Bas
01:28for the second day of the G7.
01:30The US President Donald Trump has told allies that he expects the Strait of Hormuz
01:34to be, quote, fully open by Friday,
01:37where the framework deal to end the war is expected to be formalised in Switzerland.
01:41However, questions remain over the details of the deal.
01:44Meanwhile, today, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is due to join G7 leaders
01:49with the war in Ukraine very much high up on the agenda.
01:52For more, we can go straight over to Avion-les-Bas,
01:55where our Maria Tadeo is standing by for us.
01:57Good morning, Maria.
01:59So, President Trump really celebrating his deal,
02:01but the Europeans, of course, asking for more clarity.
02:04Did they get any?
02:07Well, yes, Maeve.
02:09Good morning.
02:09And, in fact, just to that point, the president of Ukraine will land in Avion in about 55 minutes.
02:16But, yes, Iran is really the focus and really certainly was the focus of leaders
02:21and conversations on day one of this summit.
02:24The question for the Europeans, as you alluded to, is to really find out the level of detail,
02:29because at this point we know that there is a framework deal to end the war,
02:33but nobody has seen the actual wording.
02:35This memorandum has not been made public,
02:39and the fine print remains very much a mystery to global leaders,
02:44but also within some sectors of the U.S.
02:46Yesterday, nonetheless, President Donald Trump repeated,
02:50insisted that this is a good deal that will put an end to Iran's nuclear program.
02:55He also said that the Strait of Hormuz, this is vital for the global energy market,
02:59will be, quote, fully reopened by Friday,
03:02and that ceremony will go ahead.
03:04Donald Trump will not participate in that ceremony in Switzerland.
03:09It will be the vice president who heads over to Europe to sign it and formalize him.
03:14Some suggesting, perhaps, that the president does not want to be associated too closely with the deal
03:19in case it flubs.
03:20But, of course, at this stage, that is political speculation.
03:23Nonetheless, there are real questions around this agreement,
03:26because U.S. officials briefed reporters here in the G7 in Navion,
03:31saying that, in principle, yes, the Strait of Hormuz should be fully reopened by Friday,
03:36but practically and operationally, that could take weeks,
03:39because the Strait has been shut now for more than or close to four months,
03:43and that is going to take more time.
03:45There's also a major question around the sanctions.
03:48What is in this deal?
03:49The president of the U.S. said yesterday that any relief will be, quote,
03:53dependent on their behavior.
03:55The vice president also repeated that message,
03:58saying that a lot will depend on whether or not Iran can behave like a, quote,
04:02normal country.
04:04The Europeans yesterday repeated that they will not ease any sanctions
04:08until they see a real change on the ground.
04:10But a lot of those questions heavily depend on the text of that memorandum of understanding
04:15between the two countries.
04:16For the time being, as I say, it has not been released.
04:20That is a fundamental key point we should stress.
04:23The U.S. administration says it should come out this week.
04:26So the question is still in the air, and it remains, is this a good deal?
04:30That is a question that I put to the former National Security Advisor,
04:34to Donald Trump, John Bolton, yesterday on a special report on Euronews.
04:38Let's take a look.
04:41No, I think it's a very bad deal for the United States.
04:44Trump isn't thinking about the geo-strategic implications of the deal.
04:49He's thinking of one thing.
04:51He wants the straight open.
04:52He wants gulf oil on international markets.
04:55He wants the price of gasoline at the pump down.
04:57That's all he cares about.
04:59I think it's a mistake to give this brutal theocracy any of the assets.
05:03I'm happy to give the assets back to Iran when it's under a free government.
05:07That's not where we are now.
05:08The change of leadership is only because we've killed the top 400 or 500 people in the existing
05:13regime, and you're down now to their seconds and deputies.
05:16So, yeah, it's different people, but it's the same fanatic regime.
05:19Trump is desperate for a deal.
05:22He's desperate for a deal.
05:23And they have maneuvered him.
05:25They've played him like a violin.
05:26That's why they've got the deal that they want.
05:31And that is, of course, John Bolton speaking to Euronews, saying that this is a deal with
05:36one goal in mind, and that is to bring down oil prices.
05:40And he is not wrong to some extent, because the U.S. president also doubled down on that
05:45message, repeating that oil prices will come down and the stock market is up because of
05:50this deal.
05:50But as I say, two fundamental questions in terms of the sanctions, but also the program,
05:56the nuclear enrichment program, who is going to monitor that it is dismantled?
06:00The other piece of breaking news that I want to give to you now, Life, is the president
06:05of the U.S. has also put out a statement on Social Truth, his social media, saying that
06:10any reports that the U.S. will pay $300 billion to reconstruct Iran is, quote, fake news.
06:16But this goes back again to some of the questions around the wording in this deal, because it
06:21seems, however, that in the text, there will be a reference to countries wanting to invest
06:27in Iran, which has been heavily bombed for three months.
06:31But the U.S. president repeated this morning, not a single cent of U.S. money will go into
06:35Iran.
06:36But as I mentioned, major questions around the fine print of this deal, which for the time
06:41being, nobody has seen.
06:43And Marie, as you said, President Zelensky arriving imminently.
06:46Will President Trump play ball there?
06:50Well, that's another big question.
06:52And, Maeve, yesterday, the president of the U.S. said that with Iran now, quote, done,
06:58he will focus on Ukraine.
07:00The Ukrainian president is expected to land here, as I say, in 55 minutes.
07:05I asked a member of his cabinet, President Zelensky, whether the Ukrainians still believe
07:10a bilateral meeting is still possible.
07:12And this official told me, quote, sure, it is still possible.
07:16And I should also update you now with some comments from the office of the president
07:21of Ukraine, saying that President Zelensky will have, for the time being, bilateral meetings
07:26with the German chancellor, of course, with the French president, the head of the IMF,
07:31the U.K. prime minister, and the Canadian prime minister.
07:35But the big question is whether or not there will be that one-to-one with President Trump,
07:40who yesterday seemed to indicate that now he will have the time to focus back on Ukraine.
07:46Ukraine for the Ukrainians.
07:48The goal will now be to step up pressure on Russia, to take a hard line on Russia in these
07:53negotiations.
07:54Also, a cryptic message from President Zelensky yesterday, who said that an invitation had
07:59been extended to Vladimir Putin, but he decided not to show up.
08:02Unclear who extended the invitation.
08:05Okay, Maria, thank you so much for that live broadcast there from Evian Leban.
08:09We also have a live blog running all day on the G7, so visit Euronews.com for that.
08:13And Maria will be live tonight at 7 local time for a special report.
08:17But now from Evian to Luxembourg, where EU foreign ministers have officially endorsed
08:21the opening of Ukraine and Moldova's first step to joining the bloc.
08:25For more, let's bring in Euronews' Mered Gwynne-Jones.
08:28Well, Maeve, Ukraine taking a leap forward in its bid to become a member of the EU here
08:33in Luxembourg yesterday, opening the first phase of accession talks.
08:37And of course, President Zelensky has in the past framed this as critical for Ukraine's
08:41security guarantees.
08:42I spoke to Ukraine's Deputy Prime Minister Taras Kashka yesterday, who said that this
08:46is also critical for Europe's future security and for protecting it against future aggression
08:52from Russia.
08:53Of course, this came just ahead of that expected meeting between Volodymyr Zelensky and Western
08:58leaders, including President Trump, at the G7 summit later today.
09:03I caught up yesterday also with the Polish foreign minister, Radoslav Sikorsky, and asked
09:08him about Zelensky's claim that Russia's Vladimir Putin had refused to come to the G7 summit
09:14for direct talks with him and what that said about Russia's appetite for peace.
09:20Putin says he wants a peace that respects historical rights of Russia.
09:31Let me remind you, he started this war on the pretext with the ideology of claiming that
09:37Kyiv is a Russian city.
09:39He's now bombing, destroying this Russian city, supposedly, and he has just hit the oldest
09:49monastery in Ukraine.
09:52When this monastery was already a famous place, Moscow didn't even exist.
09:58It shows you how wrong Putin's historical claims are.
10:03I hope the United States backs the victim of aggression.
10:09We, as the free world, should not be in between the aggressor and the victim of aggression.
10:17I think Putin's economy is beginning to suffer.
10:20He's not making progress on the battlefield.
10:22We should stay the course.
10:24And when Putin wants to negotiate, he knows Zelensky's number.
10:30Now, moving on, as the G7 begins to digest the contents of President Trump's Iran deal,
10:36NATO is conducting a live integrated air and missile defence military exercise across
10:4120 NATO nations, including Finland, Norway and Sweden.
10:45Our NATO correspondent, Shona Murray, is embedded in the mission and joins us now for
10:49an update from Sweden.
10:50Good morning, Shona.
10:51So we've seen major drone incursions into NATO territory recently, meaning air defence is
10:56more important than ever.
10:57Please tell us where you are and why.
11:01Good morning, Maeve.
11:02I'm in the Kallax military base here in Sweden, near Sweden's high north, essentially Sweden's
11:07Lapland, where Ramseye Flag 2026 military exercise is taking place.
11:12It's actually NATO's largest military exercise geographically.
11:15And as he said, nearly 20 countries taking part, over 200 aircraft.
11:19And what this is, is a simulation of a potential aggression from Russia or any other enemy into
11:25NATO airspace where that enemy occupies the airspace.
11:28So NATO has to respond.
11:30This is really what it would be like in the first days of an Article 5 situation.
11:34You have, obviously, combat aircraft like F-35s here.
11:38You have other different types of aircraft that are there for reconnaissance, surveillance
11:42and so on.
11:43So this is what it would look like if there was Russian aggression.
11:46Now, of course, as you mentioned there, air interception and air defence is crucial at
11:50the moment for NATO, given those incursions in Romania over the past few weeks and all
11:55across the airspace.
11:56It's also crucial for Europe to step up in this area because we know that the United States
12:00is withdrawing some of its combat aircraft, such as the F-35 and the F-16s.
12:06Maeve?
12:06And Shona, what is the consensus among NATO military personnel about the threat from Russia
12:10now?
12:10And of course, is there relief over the Iran deal or the framework of the deal?
12:17Well, indeed, speaking to many military people here at NATO, there is a cautious relief about
12:23the Iran deal, given that many NATO countries have had to send assets into the region, whether
12:28it's minesweepers or other assets such as frigates.
12:31So that might ease off the pressure on NATO somewhat.
12:34But as we've heard all day over the past couple of days, the devil really is in the detail.
12:39And of course, NATO's perspective is that Russia is its key priority.
12:43So at least it may take the pressure off if there's nobody, nobody more, nobody forced
12:48to send more assets into the area.
12:50But also there's a consensus here.
12:51And I've seen it for the first time in a long time that there's quite a lot of optimism
12:54about Ukraine's prospects within the war, given the advances when it comes to drone
12:59technology.
13:00So NATO breathing a bit of a sigh of relief, but obviously very cautious.
13:05Maeve?
13:05OK, Shona Marie, thank you so much for that live update there.
13:08From Sweden, and also digesting news of that framework for US around peace deal are MEPs
13:13gathering this week in Strasbourg.
13:15Oil prices already fell sharply after the announcement and European stock markets reacted positively.
13:20For more, let's bring in Javier Moreno, Spanish member of the European Parliament.
13:24Good morning.
13:25So the full terms, of course, of the deal are not yet public.
13:29So some impacts, of course, remain very uncertain.
13:31But what is the initial reaction from the European Parliament there to the tentative deal?
13:38Yeah, we will have a debate today.
13:42And the end of a war is a good news, always a good news.
13:46But this war, let me come back to the beginning, was a legal war and a nonsense.
13:52Because, and we oppose, as social democrats and socialists, we oppose to this war.
13:59President Pedro Sanchez opposed to this war.
14:02Because what was the purpose of this war?
14:05It was to bring back the democracy, to stop the nuclear program of Iran.
14:10And what is the result?
14:12But the war is there and it's impacting Europeans.
14:16Sir, we've seen petrol prices drop yesterday to under two euro.
14:19That's why it's a good news, because the United States and Israel are making the war and we are paying
14:29for the war.
14:30The citizens, the European citizens, are paying for this war with inflation, with the price of oil, of energy.
14:36And it's important now to stop this war.
14:38It's a nonsense.
14:40It's not a win-win game.
14:42Everybody is losing in this war.
14:44And do you think the deal now, if there is a deal, it could reduce transport, heating and manufacturing costs
14:48across Europe?
14:49Or are they here to stay these high prices?
14:54We hope so.
14:55We hope that with the end of the war, we will come back to the previous prices before the war.
15:02And that everything will come back.
15:06Trade will come back.
15:07The seats will come back to Europe.
15:09And the citizens will come back to the previous life with less inflation and a better life.
15:19Well, that's certainly what people are hoping as they fill the petrol at the pumps.
15:23Javier Moreno, thank you so much for bringing us the view there from Strasbourg.
15:27Now moving on, it is time for our World Cup segment.
15:37And for this, I'm joined, of course, here on set by Eurie News' Vincenzo Genovese.
15:41So tell us what story we're looking out for today or tonight.
15:45Well, the story of the night, yesterday night, was, of course, the miracle of Atlanta.
15:50Cape Verde held Spain to a 0-0 draw.
15:54And the hero of the night was the goalkeeper, Vosinha.
15:58His real name is Josimar Diaz.
16:00Vosinha means grandma in Portuguese, because when he was a child, he was playing with friends and he didn't like
16:08to lose.
16:08So he would say to go to cry to his grandmother.
16:12So that's why Vosinha.
16:14But yesterday he had really joyful moments.
16:17And he also got emotional at the end of the game.
16:19But what about Spanish supporters?
16:21It was a bad night for them.
16:22Yes, indeed.
16:23And Spanish press was also as no mercy today for the Spanish team.
16:29I think that the Spanish coach Luis de la Fuente underestimated his opponents.
16:34And, you know, Michelo Yerzabal, the Spanish striker, was the only player ever to have played 30 minutes in a
16:42World Cup game without touching the ball once.
16:44And what about Belgium and the Red Devils?
16:46Well, Belgium also disappointing starting 1-1 with Egypt.
16:51You know, Belgium, Belgian team always comes with great expectation to World Cup.
16:56And for the vibes in Brussels, we sent our reporter Anna Leal.
17:00If you recognize this little guy, you know we are in Belgium, one of the 16 European countries participating in
17:06this year's World Cup.
17:06They have never won it.
17:08But do they have a chance this time?
17:09Let's go ask some Belgians.
17:10Quarter final would be like already an achievement, but semi-final would be.
17:14And then in semi-final, what can you hope, right?
17:16Final!
17:17You never know.
17:18No, I think personally final.
17:20At least a semi-final.
17:22We're going to win this time, for sure.
17:24I'm very, very optimistic.
17:25We have a great team.
17:26I love, of course, Thibaut Courtois, he's one of the best goalkeepers in the world.
17:31Lukaku?
17:31Of course!
17:33You think you can win it?
17:35Yeah, I reckon.
17:36You know, I want to believe.
17:37You know, you have to believe.
17:38I'm happy to make it through the qualifying.
17:40Maybe final or take the World Cup.
17:43If I want to be crazy, I would say we go on final.
17:46We can do it!
17:47Let's go!
17:49I think we will be champions for 226.
17:53I think they can reach the final.
17:55Past World Cup, Belgium was really upset.
17:57They didn't do that good.
17:59So I have hope because they have the pressure.
18:01Viva Belgique, there is France.
18:03And there is also Spain.
18:05So I think we are not going to win the Mundial.
18:11So good vibes all around there, Vincenzo.
18:14But what's coming up today?
18:15What should we keep an eye on?
18:16Well, tonight the other two top teams are playing.
18:19Argentina, the winning champions, and France,
18:21which to me is the top candidate for the final win.
18:23And I really will keep an eye on this man, Kylian Mbappé.
18:28He has won nothing this year with Real Madrid.
18:30But he is on track to be the best scorer ever in the World Cup history.
18:36He is at 12 now.
18:37The top scorer, German Miroslav Klose, is at 16.
18:41And I think that he can do it in the next World Cups.
18:46If this is the case, I think we really should consider Kylian Mbappé
18:50as the best player in the history of football.
18:53OK.
18:53Vincenzo Genovese, thank you so much for all those updates.
18:56And thank you so much, of course, for tuning in.
