Good morning, Europe! Here are the key stories we will be following today, Friday, May 11:

Catalonia crisis: Exiled former Catalan leader Carles Puigdemont has stepped back from putting himself forward for the presidency of the region, instead nominating a newcomer.

Italy deadlock: The anti-establishment Five Star Movement and far-right League say they had made "significant steps" towards forming a government. But the final word rests with Italian President Sergio Mattarella.
