Eurovision in Vienna: The 70th Eurovision Song Contest kicks off tonight with the first semi-final in a charged atmosphere—five countries (Ireland, Netherlands, Slovenia, Spain, Iceland) are boycotting over Israel’s Gaza war, while Israel’s Noam Bettan takes the stage amid protests and heightened security. Running order & hosts: The semi-final 1 lineup includes Moldova’s Satoshi opening the show and acts like Greece’s Akylas, Austria’s COSMÓ, Belgium’s ESSYLA and Germany’s Sarah Engels; hosts are Victoria Swarovski and Michael Ostrowski. EU migration diplomacy: EU officials are set to begin technical talks with Taliban representatives in Brussels on Afghan migrant returns, drawing fresh political and humanitarian backlash. War spillover: Strait of Hormuz tensions keep reshaping travel and energy fears, with airlines cutting flights and tourists building “plan B” routes closer to home. Business & tech: Atos and Elastic team up to roll out Elasticsearch across parts of Europe. Sports tie-in: Ghana’s Otto Addo joins FIFA’s 2026 World Cup Technical Study Group.
