The European Parliament Election kicks off today, the first since Brexit. 

The Parliament acts as a co-legislator for the European Union, the body directly elected by EU voters every five years. 

In Italy, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is seen as a frontrunner for the Parliament. 

Italy Correspondent Jo McKenna told Mike Hosking that they’re looking to young people to really make the difference when it comes to voting. 

She said that there are indicators that younger people are shifting to the right, which could work in Meloni’s favour.
