olly. olly. >> olly. olly. >> olly. olly. >> olly.t the union flag is nationalistic and divisive. yeah, i was saying to nigel earlier, i think he should have read the fine print on terms of what eurovision is about. because if there's not something that's more nationalistic than the eurovision song contest, thatis the eurovision song contest, that is all about flag waving for your country of choice . for your country of choice. yeah, and we all watch it because it's entertaining and we get because we're so bad at it. my get because we're so bad at it. my wife and i tend to block out this static . unfortunately, this static. unfortunately, we've got a birthday this weekend, so we probably have to record it and watch right? yeah, but it is about i struggle with what olly alexander is saying, that he's representing the united kingdom, but he doesn't quite. he's a bit ambivalent around the flag , a bit ambivalent. >> that's what he said, a lot ambivalent. >> ambivalent about union jack. >> ambivalent about union jack. >> yes. >> yes. >> i

olly alexander. >> cheryl.h you on this should should somebody who is, quote, ambivalent towards the flag of this country be representing this country be representing this country be representing this country at a national international singing contest? >> now, the thing is, i've read what he's quoted and yes, he has said he's ambivalent, but he's also said that he's proud to represent his country. so, you know, there's double standards all the way along. i think he's right to be represented in the country this year. i think that perhaps some of his statements were a bit silly, especially as he is wearing the union jack while he's saying these things, but , you know, if you are but, you know, if you are representing your country, you should be totally pro the united kingdom, which is the whole point of having the union jack. and so to be to say you're ambivalent and still represent the united kingdom doesn't make sense at all to me whatsoever. >> a question to cheryl, because earlier you said you didn't like be

ollie's bargain outlets. think about the consumer interest and kdent. >> yes.n we're thinking about small caps, people have been shunning them, i think for good reason. earnings really hasn't returned for small cap. they've been very negatively impacted by inflation. but there's still lots of great small cap businesses, they're not flash fls y, they're not sexy. ollie does close out merchandise, which for a value starved consumer, which is true at the high end, low end, mid end they shop at ollie's and find the value that has been really missing from a lot of retail. and kadant has niche positions where it has the number one position and able to kind of consistently execute with high profitability. so, those are the types of businesses that we're drawn to. >> you like small caps at this point in the market cycle as a group better than you like large caps? and if so, why? >> i don't think i like them as a group. i think you really -- as kind of a small cap investor, i think i actually get paid to say no more than i get paid to say yes. you look at the small cap

months, what about olly alexander?gine going into a contest where you are clearly representing your country. i mean, everything is on a national basis . each artist has national basis. each artist has described as coming from that country. there's a lot of emphasis given to the nationalism of the thing. and for our artists then to say that he was uncomfortable with the union jack, which , just to union jack, which, just to explain to him, is the flag of the country, was representing . the country, was representing. >> well, he didn't seem that uncomfortable when he walked on stage carrying it at the flag ceremony. you know, he had that wrapped around him. and i think, ollie, you know, an interesting character. he's an artist. he's, you know, he's got his own mind. he's you know, very creative and he's outspoken. he's also spoken about israel as well, you know, fair play to him for being true to himself. but at the end of the day, he was representing the uk and the bbc. it's a competition between public broadcasters . a

hello, and welcome to sportsday — i'm olly foster.eally, really good, and then really rubbish — that's jurgen klopp's assessement of his liverpoolside, but they still beat spurs. it's magical miami for mcalaren, as lando norris wins his first formula one race. and kyren wilson has the edge, after the first two sessions of the world snooker championship final. hello there, welcome along. there are just two weeks left in the premier league season, and there's so much riding on every game now. there were three games on sunday, and tottenham's hopes of a top—four finish are pretty much over after their 4—2 defeat at liverpool. they were 2—0 down at half—time, four down on the hour mark at anfield. goals from mohammed salah, andy robertson, cody gakpo, and a top—corner screamer from harvey elliott. for spurs, despite a late rally with goals from richarlison and son heung—min, that is theirfourth defeat in a row — and they are seven points behind aston villa, in fourth. the win for liverpool mathematically keeps them in the title race, but

olly foster was among the thousands of fans celebrating their team's historic fourth straight premierthat's what pep guardiola wanted. he said, look, come out in your thousands because this season is still worth celebrating, despite that defeat to manchester united at wembley. we've had a lot of blue smoke. we've had tens of thousands in the streets of manchester. we had fireworks lighting up the rather gloomy manchester sky. some of the players on their open top bus interacting with a fair few thousand fans at the bottom of deansgate, the main thoroughfare that goes north to south that they paraded down. it's been quite a spectacle here. it has been an incredible season. it fell flat at wembley, didn't it? we didn't see that defeat coming, their first domestic defeat since before christmas. but what we have seen this season is the way that manchester city in the league just get that momentum around march, april and may. and they held off a very, very good improving arsenal side who will surely come again. five points was the difference over the gunners last season. two points this se

and it's fair to say that olly alexander isn't doing things by halves. # take me back to the beginningar's contest has an undertone of tension, with calls for some acts, including the uk, to boycott the event over the israel—gaza war. i think it's really important that people are able to protest and people voice their opinions. also myself, i think it's really important to... to not stay silent. # every day i'm losing my mind...# israel is competing. eden golan�*s song hurricane is a rewritten version of her first entry, october rain, which was thought to reference the hamas attacks of october the 7th. the tension means security is a real focus, but police in malmo say they are ready. we have high security around the israeli delegation, but we also have a high security for the other delegations from the other countries. so i think it's important for us that all of them feel safe when they are coming to malmo. so even if they are not from israel, we try to keep them in a good mood and feel safe no matter what country they're from. and they are definitely in a good mood. chicken noises t

hello, i'm olly foster, live from the bbc sport centre. coming up on sportsday....ter city have already won at spurs in the cup, but there's a lot more riding on tonight's game in the league, and city might have more supporters there than they're expecting. as millie bright returns to the england squad, the world cup captain tells us about how she struggled during her long injury lay—off. and artistic swimmers izzy thorpe and kate shortman hope to "carry on the legacy" of their mothers at the paris olynpics this summer. welcome to sportsday, will the title race take another twist tonight? manchester city know that a win at tottenham will see them return to the top of the table above arsenal with one game to go. to do that, they'll have to score their first premier league goal at the tottenham hotspur stadium. but would spurs fans mind that, of course if city lose, that would hand the advantage to north london rivals arsenal. the tottenham manager wouldn't entertain the thought that the home fans won't be right behind them. reporter: a proportion of your fans won't w

ollie at one point caresses one of the dancers, hanging upside down.r yourself round, round till the moment it never ends. >> wake me . >> wake me. >> wake me. >> this is the united kingdom's entry for eurovision 2024. what the hell is going on? gone are the hell is going on? gone are the days where eurovision was about the actual song. when brotherhood of man save all your kisses. for me, that was a tune cliff richard and lulu performed. remember the late terry wogan and his legendary commentary? all of that's gone , commentary? all of that's gone, replaced by a virtue signalling political woke fest with people who hate this great country denigrating it, whilst at the same time supposedly representing it . now last year representing it. now last year we had may miller, who came second from last with 24 points. that's 24 more than germany. at least they came last. she was found to have tweeted i hate this country. and as the prime minister, boris johnson, during the pandemic, when he was critically ill with covid, she tweeted she didn't feel sorry for

olly murs was supporting take that. olly murs has never missed a gig supporting. >> well hold on.i want to go back on tonight. i'd get a taste for it. i'd be like, right, this is it now. but i really hope that it is one of those success stories where he goes on to bigger and better things. i mean, apparently he was discovered by ross king, who's the good morning britain showbiz correspondent, and he spotted him in the bar and he said, oh, i know who would be a good replacement. and that's how it happened. i just think that is such a brilliant story. and good on daniel rudy. i mean, it must have been absolutely terrifying. but you know what? we want to see new talent break through and i'm absolutely rooting for him. do you know who him. >> do you know who that happened to before? hey oddly enough, billy fury. wow. billy fury back in the 40s. he was huge. he was like a proper megastar. and he went to see, who did we have on the show? marty wilde , marty the show? marty wilde, marty wilde, in the sort of back in the 40s legend, 50s. it must have been. or early 60s, and this marty wil

don't like this year's entrant olly alexander , year's entrant olly alexander, who said he is ambivalentag ? well, i'm the british flag? well, i'm ambivalent about his musical entry , which looks doomed entry, which looks doomed tomorrow night, you can call it that. >> isn't it? >> isn't it? >> just a bit. but this year i do care about the contest. i'm praying for an israeli victory because whilst like any right minded human being, i want the war in gaza to end and the loss of life to stop woke progressives on those so—called peace marches and middle class numpties at elite british universities are hiding behind the fig leaf of anti—zionism to indulge in a festival of jew hate. they are , at worst, hamas hate. they are, at worst, hamas supporters, and at best they're useful idiots. so i'm supporting israel at the eurovision song contest in order to push back on this hellish and fashionable wave of anti—semitism to all the israel haters out there, i'm giving you nul points. doctor roger gewolb , who are you roger gewolb, who are you supporting tomorrow night? >> i'm going to support israe
