the country's entry, the kalush orchestra, flew to the top of the leaderboard after winning the popular vote. sam ryder of the uk finished second, but topped the jury votes with his song spaceman. this year, more than most, eurovision had a political dimension with that victory by ukraine's kalush orchestra being widely seen as a symbolic show of public support for the country. and that, coupled with an unusually successful night for the uk, who came second in the competition, explains why it featured prominently on bbc news on sunday. but for some viewers, the amount of attention devoted to it was still notjustified. stuart gordon e—mailed... on monday, the footballer jake daniels made a name for himself and not for any exploits on the pitch. as sports editor dan roan reported. some will be surprised that in this day and age, a player revealing their sexuality has made so many headlines. but others believe this is truly a historic moment for football, despite the issues that it continues to confront. jake daniels�* statement and the media coverage of it was widely applauded, with stigm

for them, flags, flowers and a green beret, the winners of the eurovision song contest, the kalush orchestraentered the ukrainian soil, received gifts and words of thanks from the border guards, and then found themselves in the arms of loyal fans, some of them reached the border hitchhiking to meet the winner of the song contest and tsn correspondent natalka volosatska here are the winners of the eurovision song contest, the first in ukraine to be met by the border guards slava glory to ukraine heroes with flags, flowers and words of thanks are in mariupol in addition to flowers , and then kalush of the orchestra simply performs his stephanie at the checkpoint. we are already proud, very happy that ukraine supports everything europe in the breaks between the photo and the impromptu autograph session oleg shows the award, but i grabbed it with both hands and didn't give it to anyone, although the italians and the english really wanted to take it, and he is our victory forever, out with the award, the band will say goodbye soon the guys will sell the statuette to i really want to transfer it t

after that andriy will analyze and tell the whole truth, let's let's listen to a bit of the kalush orchestrala , i really want to hear the mariupol triumph in your heart, literally andrii, with tears in my eyes, we understand that there are two realities, on the one hand, there is the reality of eurovision, on the other hand, there is the reality of daily shelling, the daily death of our soldiers. but why am i talking about eurovision because this is important because it is another way of conveying the story of ukraine to the world, which is mostly accepted by its problems, so from the other side, kalush of the orchestra did something that does not fit into the general canon of the pop contest it is about the so-called moment in quotes, of course , politicization well, because it is absurd, well, you should talk about such things if you are ukrainian, they did it, but i would ask you to reveal a little of these behind-the -scenes stories. well, the fact is that i cannot tell some very column stories because uh, i signed documents about non-disclosure of certain certain issues, well, not even
