UK’s James Newman scores nil points at Eurovision as Italy triumphs
The United Kingdom was handed a crushing defeat in the Eurovision Song Contest, scoring nil points.The competition, which was held in Rotterdam, Netherlands, after the show was cancelled in 2020, was won by Italy with rock band Maneskin’s Zitti E Buoni.They are the first group to win the competition since 2006.
Security preparations for this year’s Eurovision come as Sweden is considered by police to be a “priority target” for Islamist terrorist groups. Add concerns over planned protests regarding Israel's involvement, cyberattacks and Sweden's NATO membership, and 2024's contest seems overcast by fear.

"The last hostage has just been released. One person has been arrested. We cannot share more information at this time," announced police on X, formerly Twitter.

Authorities earlier stated that, at present, there is no indication of a "terrorist motive" behind the incident in Ede.
