Watch now as The Schuman Show always brings you a quick rundown of what's been going on in European and global politics lately, and how the EU chose to respond.

In this Midday Briefing, the EU spokesperson addresses the most recent things happening in the EU. First and foremost, a congratulations to Switzerland's Nemo for winning the Eurovision Song Contest - which is NOT a European institution. June marks the time for the European Parliament elections, and our spokesperson reiterates that EC president von der Leyen has no intention to work with the far-right: a list of candidates has been compiled for your convenience. Spoksperson Funkyboogaloo-Smythe also notes Rishi Sunak's admirable election campaign and his dramatic speech in the pouring rain. In other news, Angela Merkel is releasing a 700-page autobiographical book, which President von der Leyen is keen on imitating.
