Have to say that I found this video very unpleasant to watch. Hopefully just a case of dehydration, but time will tell.

I felt the very same. Surprised someone didn’t step in, as she was clearly not well at all.

She looked in a right state. Can’t believe nobody helped her. Poor girl.

I think she’d just seen the lineup for our potential new PM and suddenly realised she’d actually have to deal with them. Poor cow.

Nah- she’s just realised that she’s forgotten to put her absorbent dunghampers on and is bursting to go!

Remember he is/was a comedian, looks to me like he told her an English year 3 joke about 5 minutes before (Year 7 jokes have been fatal to Germans If no pre warning given)

Looked like a rigor from septicaemia to me.

On the sauce with Juncker?

But humour aside, not nice to see :(

What I’m more concerned about is that it’s 30C in Berlin.

We didn’t win two wars for them to have better weather than us...

Yes the same day during a press conference where she appeared to be fine

Does she have a tendency towards diabetes? A sugar low might have caused the shakes?

No that is Tess, she has T1DM.

Don't know that Merkel has Diabetes.

As an aside, is knowing such personal details about those in power appropriate or required? If Merkel has Type 1, or any other condition, that's between her and her medics surely?

Of course, it's different if such conditions have been freely publicised as some do for charity or better health campaigns.

I'm with @Spooky and @Sir Morley Steven in that it was uncomfortable to see, I'm glad she's now Ok and why on earth did no-one do anything?
