our moscow correspondent steve rosenberg weighs up the uk's chances.ve us abba and now...apes. after a week of rehearsals and qualifiers in kiev, tomorrow, it's the final. the uk's entry is never give up on you, sung by luchones. yeah, i'm nervous, but if i wasn't, i think i'd probably worry about myself. if i wasn't nervous to sing in front of 200 million people, that would be crazy. it's easy to forget that there is a serious side to this annual fest of cacophony and kitsch. the idea behind the eurovision song contest is a noble one, to use music to break down borders and bring different countries and cultures and communities together. the problem this year, though, is that politics is centre stage. russia's entrant was not allowed into ukraine, the first time a eurovision host nation has barred a singer. ukraine said the artist had violated its border laws by visiting crimea, the ukrainian peninsula annexed by russia. she was back there this week, stoking the controversy. then there is brexit. theresa may thinks that will spoil our eurovision party.

steve rosenberg, bbc news, kiev. let's catch up with the weather. thank you very much. afternoon. i will start with a sunny note because there is a lot of cloud today but the best is across scotland, this weather watcher picture proves that. you can see from the satellite and radar showing the rain. a lot of cloud out there. a band of rain moving northwards this morning, didn't amount to very much. there's been a lot of cloud further south too. through the afternoon we will see rain returning in to the west country and towards wales. there will be some sunshine breaking through that cloud as it continues to thin and break in the next couple of hours. the m4 corridor northwards likely to see hefty showers developing, some heavy with hail and thunder mixed in. watch out if you catch one. warm and humid you will notice. there is that rain continuing to push to southern scotland. for much of northern ireland and scotland should and good deal of sunshine, especially western scotla nd deal of sunshine, especially western scotland where it will feel quite warm. that's in comparison to th

steve rosenberg reports from the ukraine.n recent years it has been hard enough for the united kingdom to get points from our european neighbours when we have been on speaking terms with them. but now that we are leaving the eu in an atmosphere of acute disharmony, will that condemn the uk to eternal loser in eurovision? they may be excited about eurovision in kiev, but britain's prime minister theresa may has warned that brexit could scupper the uk's eurovision party. well, is the prime minister a eurovision fan? i can't imagine her sat with her flag at home. honestly, whatever happens, happens. brexit is so far out of my hands and my control. the signs are that europe has not fallen out of love with britain. we have discovered that even the french love having the uk in eurovision. well — so that france wouldn't come last. france is very bad, but england is worse, it makes me happy. and being happy is what eurovision is all about. it is not the winning that counts. just as well. the uk hasn't won the contest for 20 years. eu

the bbc‘s steve rosenberg is in moscow and jenny hill is in berlin.both sides in the ukraine conflict to stick to that minsk agreement. in addition to that, i think she wants to discuss the situation in syria and talk about mr putin's support for the assad regime. this has been at the forefront of getting the two sides to stick to that agreement. also at the forefront of europe sticking to its imposition of sanctions, because they have been times it hasn't at the time of agreement. there is not much allusion here in hurling that they will be much of a positive outcome, but this is seen as continuing effo rts but this is seen as continuing efforts on both of those subjects. how is it in russia? very similar. i think it will be difficult for the two lea d e rs think it will be difficult for the two leaders to find a common language. interesting because they both speak each other‘s languages fluently. they have very different world views. angela merkel sees herself as someone who is freethinking, whereas putin views himself as someone who is that severe

the uk's luciejones delivered the country's best result in six years, as our correspondent steve rosenberg his sister wrote it and it is very un—eurovision. no gimmicks, no video screens. just a melancholic melody and his charisma and charm. bulgaria came second. portuguese eurovision fans have been waiting for this moment for such a long time. they had grown so used to losing that winning sparked plenty of emotion. amazing. it will be amazing. it is like a dream come true. flying the flag for the uk was luciejones. a power ballad, never give up, placed 15th, our best result for six years. were you aiming for a particular place? no, ijust did not want to come last, so actually i did really well. and, of course, this being eurovision there was weird... there was wonderful... and what on earth was this?! but perhaps it won't be the music we remember. it's the mischief. during the interval act a man got up on stage and bared his bottom live on tv. a bum note indeed. an estimated 200 million people will have watched tonight's contest. the show always delivers high ratings. personally, i wish i
