00:00Hello and welcome to State of the Union, I'm Stefan Grobe in Brussels.
00:10What a week this has been, and a bad week for nationalist and populist forces.
00:16French voters produced a reverse shocker by keeping the far right far away from power
00:21in the second round of the general election.
00:24On the European level, mushrooming far-right parliamentary groups are splintering the populist
00:29influence in the European Parliament.
00:32And the self-declared herald of peace, nationalist Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, found
00:38out the hard way what clout he has in the real world, and that is zero.
00:44Just days into his new role as rotating EU Council President, Orbán travelled to Moscow
00:49and Beijing on what he bombastically called peace mission to end the war in Ukraine.
00:55Well, not only did he come back empty-handed, but he was also read the riot act by the rest
01:01of the EU.
01:02Here is Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, who will take over the EU Presidency in January.
01:26Some member states are so angry at Budapest, they now even want to shorten the Hungarian
01:32Presidency.
01:33That doesn't seem to go anywhere, but the first Hungary-chaired council meetings were
01:38snubbed by ministers who sent civil servants instead.
01:42It's a shame.

05:15Is Mark Rutter the right man for steering NATO through stormy waters?
05:20Well, everything that is done at NATO, from the smallest to the largest thing, is done
05:24by consensus.
05:25And there are a few things more important than choosing a secretary general in very
05:30difficult times.
05:32And so I think the fact that Mark Rutter was chosen with a great deal of support, it wasn't
05:37very controversial, says something about where the alliance wants to go and the degree of
05:42confidence in his leadership.
05:43And I think that's probably correct.
05:45All right.
05:46Ian Lesser, Executive Director of the German Marshall Fund in Brussels, thanks for coming
05:49on the show today.
05:51Always good to be with you.
05:52Thank you.
05:53Before we go, let's take a look at what's new in the world of arts.
05:59I like art.
06:00The bigger, the better.
06:02And here's Italian land artist Dario Gambarin with his latest work on a crop field outside
06:07of Verona.
06:09Using only a plow and a tractor, he drew the Eiffel Tower in dedication to the upcoming
06:14Olympics.
06:15It's a contribution to peace in hopes that sports will unite people all over the world,
06:21he says.
06:23Over in London's Kensington Gardens, a mammoth-sized pumpkin is quite the spectacle.
06:28The bronze sculpture is the largest pumpkin by Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama and is part
06:35of the Serpentine Gallery's public art program.
06:39Kusama's relationship with pumpkins is rooted in her childhood, when her home was surrounded
06:44by squash.
06:46She admires pumpkins for their hardiness, their humorous forms and their taste.
06:53There you have it.
06:54That's it for this edition.
06:55I'm Stefan Grobe.
06:56Thank you for watching.
06:57Have an excellent week.
