#TheSchumanShow Join our favourite EU spokesperson, Margaritis Funkyboogaloo-Smythe, as he brings you another edition of the Midday Briefing! The Schuman Show always brings you a quick rundown of what's been going on in politics and how the EU chose to respond.

In this Midday Briefing, wars and conflict rage across the globe, leading world leaders to Hague to discuss defense at the NATO summit. Esteemed American president Donald Trump hasn't been as forthcoming to the EU about his plans with Iran, leading many to wonder how relevant the bloc actually is when it comes to defence talks. Speaking of conflict, Flanders and Wallonia are still stubbornly fighting one another in petty affairs. Many world leaders present at the NATO meeting were also recently in Canada for the G7 summit, but DJT opted to leave early and forego the after-work networking opportunity. Back in Belgium, local caretaker government leaders in Brussels have asked for help with the works at the Schuman roundabout - which is running behind schedule due to its usual ambitions of grandeur. The Green Claims directive is being dropped by the European Commission, recognising the controversy surrounding its misleading nature. Meanwhile in the Netherlands, Geert Wilders has triggered the collapse of the Dutch Cabinet after withdrawing from the government coalition. Finally, certain adult websites opted not to operate in France after the government imposed age restriction measures. This break in the adult entertainment market lead the European Commission to consider new, interesting ways to increase engagement with its citizens. Watch now!

✨With Paul Dallison.
