there for the moment.
thank you forjoining us.
meanwhile: israel qualified
for the eurovision song contest
final following protests
over its participation.
thousands of people joined
pro—palestinian demonstrations
in the swedish city
of malmo as the eurovision
semi—final took place.
they were marching in protest
against israel's involvement
in the global competition,
whose singer eden golan
was booed.
a smaller pro—israeli
demonstration also took place
in the city.
this is the city of neom,
a futuristic development
planned for the saudi desert.
it'll cost £400 billion
or over $500 billion,
and is being built by dozens
of western companies.
but the uk foreign secretary,
lord cameron, says he'll be
looking into allegations
the saudi government
is using lethal force to clear
ground to build the new city.
it comes after bbc verify
and a bbc eye investigation,
found the authorities
encouraged the use of violence,
to evict villagers.
