mentioned, controversy throughout the last few days. they have been protests from pro—palestinian campaigners who are angry about the inclusion of israel in eurovision this year. the protests have been very peaceful, there has been no violence whatsoever. we have been quite loud and we spent more to take place tomorrow ahead of the grand final. this is the eurovision song contest and the eub people to understand, in their view, there is nothing political about it at all. there are so many people who have descended on the malmo to enjoy the show. charlotte gallagher is at letting the square behind me in front of the arena with some fans. i am, and i have made some friends from across europe. we have greece, we have poland, and we have croatia. sadly, polling didn't qualify, i'm so sorry to bring this up. she was

switzerland as another firm fan favourite. so it is a really open contest. no one knows who is going to win. we do know that 200 million globally will be watching. just to reiterate for those of you who are wondering what is happening tomorrow. tomorrow is the grand final of eurovision song contest. 26 countries are going to be participating, 20 of those came through the semifinal on tuesday and thursday's shows. five of those automatically qualify, italy, germany, spain, france and the uk, and of course sweden who are opening the show. they won last year and they will be opening the show this year. this year is also interesting because it is the 50th anniversary of our bad's victory with that famous song, waterloo, which one in

brighton 50 years ago this year. i heard from a abba superfan that they didn't think abba would make an appearance. we don't think they will appear, but we do know that is going to be an absolutely amazing show with those 26 countries competing. as i said earlier on today in the eub has had a lot of controversy this year, mainly because of what has happened with israel, all those protests surrounding the israeli entry. the eub are hoping for a really smooth show tonight for the jury really smooth show tonight for the jury final, and indeed tomorrow for the grand final. i'm sure a bit of the grand final. i'm sure a bit of the viewers are around the world, they will be watching it too. thank you more on our programme, i'm told
