On Europe Today this Wednesday, a surprise result for many in France as National Rally leader Marine Le Pen has declared she will be running for president in 2027 despite Paris Appeals Court upholding her embezzlement conviction. Euronews' Mared Gwyn presses National Rally MEP Fabrice Leggeri on her decision. Meanwhile, the NATO Summit in Ankara has taken an unexpected turn after President Trump began berating partners of the alliance over a lack of support on Iran, which has been hit by fresh strikes from the US as the Summit goes on. He is also reigniting his fight to control Greenland. Shona Murray reports on the tense situation from Ankara. Plus we have the latest World Cup news after a busy night of action saw wins for Argentina and Switzerland, at the expense of Egypt and Colombia. This as a group of MEPs signed a letter calling for an investigation over alleged interference from President Trump in FIFA's decision to allow red carded Folarin Balogun to play against Belgium earlier in the week.
