Eurovision in the spotlight: Vienna’s grand final is hours away, but the biggest story isn’t just the music—it’s the politics. Israel’s participation has kept pressure high, with multiple countries boycotting broadcasts and the atmosphere described as “quieter” and tightly managed. UK Eurovision staging: BBC has confirmed drag performer La Voix as the UK jury “spokesqueen,” set to announce results live in Saturday’s final. New music shockwave: Drake detonated a surprise triple-album drop—Iceman, Habibti, and Maid of Honour—and immediately reignited his Kendrick Lamar feud, while also taking a direct swipe at DJ Khaled over Palestine silence. Regional culture push: Abu Dhabi is moving ahead with a $1.7bn “Sphere” immersive venue on Yas Island, aiming to supercharge tourism by 2029. Faith & identity in public life: The Trump administration’s “Rededicate 250” National Mall prayer event is drawing fresh debate over a Christian-heavy, MAGA-leaning tone.
