Bonjour newscasters, whenever I try to speak any word in a foreign language, it never

quite convinces me enough suspect it hasn't convinced you. It's Chris Mason here,

setting off to France for Ruchisounax meeting with President Macron of France in Paris.

First though, this is our Thursday episode, the day when the podcast is also on the tally,

BBC One after question time. If you're not already, why don't you try subscribing to us

following us on BBC Sounds or wherever you find your podcasts and then we'll pop up in your

feeds every time we press go on an episode. Shall I say mercy? No, I think I'll just say cheers.

Chris, I've seen you working very hard today, which made me think you might not have had a chance

to hear the UK's Eurovision entry, which was unveiled this morning. I haven't heard it, but I

you know, I defer to you for a moment of public service broadcasting so that I can hear it

straight into my ear. This is going to be great. It's going to be like the old grey whistle test,

but with Chris Mason, were you hearing it for the first time for real? So here it is. This is

May Moulin singing, I wrote a song, which the UK will be taking to Liverpool in May.

Like that. Well, what a ringing endorsement. There you go. I do like that. It's very catchy.

That's a proper earworm. It's got a bit of a sort of baliarek feel, which I knew you'd like.

Yes. Another music news. You know, it's 25 years ago today when the Spice Girls released Stop.

Oh, that is a cracking song as well. You probably danced to that many a time. Indeed.

And that would have won you a vision if it had been a entry. Anyway, May Moulin has wrote a song,

we're going to make a podcast, which you're going to watch and listen to now.

Newcast. Newcast from the BBC. He got trounced by the former Prime Minister,

who herself got beaten by a letter. At least I didn't slap anybody, which is good.

Green economy. La, la, la. It's the Guardian reading. Tofu eating. Woke her hearty.
