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