Israel finished second, with Estonia third and the pre-contest favourites from Sweden fourth

Austria has won the Eurovision song contest after JJ triumphed in Basel with their song Wasted Love, an operatic ballad with soaring vocals that mutates into a club anthem for the finale. It is the third time the country has won, with JJ following in the footsteps of Udo Jürgens in 1965 and Conchita Wurst in 2014.

Switzerland, which hosted the first ever Eurovision song contest in 1956, was the venue this year after Nemo won in Malmö last year with their song The Code. Austria will be expected to host in 2026, with Vienna having twice held the competition before.

• FA inquiry into Brazil midfielder has lasted over two years
• ‘Stress, pressure, can manifest itself,’ warns manager

Graham Potter has revealed the investigation into whether Lucas Paquetá breached betting rules is taking its toll both mentally and physically on the West Ham player.

The Football Association’s inquiry into allegations Paquetá deliberately got himself booked in four matches, which he denies but which could leads to his being banned for life if found guilty, has lasted more than two years.

State superintendent Ryan Walters tapped chief of Heritage Foundation, key player behind Project 2025, for curriculum

As part of the latest Republican push in red states to promote ideologies sympathetic to Donald Trump, Oklahoma’s new social studies curriculum will ask high school students to identify “discrepancies” in the 2020 election results.

The previous standard for studying the 2020 election merely said: “Examine issues related to the election of 2020 and its outcome.” The new version is more expansive: “Identify discrepancies in 2020 elections results by looking at graphs and other information, including the sudden halting of ballot-counting in select cities in key battleground states, the security risks of mail-in balloting, sudden batch dumps, an unforeseen record number of voters, and the unprecedented contradiction of ‘bellwether county’ trends.”

• Indiana trounce Chicago 93-58 in both teams’ opener
• Clark says flagrant for shoving Reese not ‘malicious’

Caitlin Clark posted a 20-point triple-double, Aliyah Boston racked up 19 points, 13 rebounds and five blocks and the Indiana Fever torched the rival Chicago Sky 93-58 in both teams’ season opener Saturday in Indianapolis.

To start her second WNBA season, Clark made four three-pointers and added 10 assists, 10 rebounds and four blocks. She also was called for a flagrant-1 foul on rival Angel Reese in a third-quarter sequence that called to mind some of the controversial moments of the Indiana-Chicago rivalry last year.

Exclusive: Agreement could cut airport queues, caused by need to have passports stamped after Brexit

British holidaymakers could face shorter airport queues this summer with negotiators on the verge of striking an agreement for UK passport holders to use e-gates across Europe.

Downing Street said on Saturday that it was poised to strike a deal with the EU that would improve things for British families facing “queues on holiday”.

Two aircraft crashed just after noon on Saturday in wooded area near Eura airport in south-west of country

Five people were killed when two helicopters collided and crashed in a wooded area near Eura airport in south-western Finland, police have said.

Police said the mid-air collision occurred shortly after noon on Saturday near the town of Kauttua, with the wreckage falling 700 metres from the Ohikulkutie road.

Fire in black sheoak forest of East Gippsland would destroy the birds’ food supply, conservationist says

Glossy black cockatoos could be pushed towards extinction in Victoria if planned burns of 13,000 hectares of forest go ahead, ecologists and conservationists warn.

The Victorian government is being urged to abandon the burn, which is intended to reduce bushfire risk.

When a missing person strays into ‘tiger country’, the call goes out to the volunteers from the NSW State Emergency Service’s specialist BSAR unit

A few months ago a man was liloing down the Wollangambe River, a few hours north-west of Sydney, when he slipped and broke his leg.

Clinging to a riverbank and unable to climb to safety, the man happened upon some incredibly good luck. Or rather, the luck chanced upon him.

Police say explosion outside American Reproductive Centers fertility clinic was ‘an intentional act of violence’

At least one person is dead after a car exploded near a reproductive facility in Palm Springs, California, on Saturday morning, according to local authorities.

“The blast appears to be an intentional act of violence,” the Palm Springs police chief Andy Mills said in a statement. “There has been one fatality. The person’s identity is not known.”

Lawrence excels as a woman whose bipolar disorder is exacerbated by husband Robert Pattinson’s infidelity, with super-strength direction from Lynne Ramsay

Lynne Ramsay brings the Gothic-realist steam heat, some violent shocks and deafening music slams to this movie, adapted by her with co-writers Alice Birch and Enda Walsh from the 2012 novel by Ariana Harwicz. It’s a ferociously intense study of a lonely, passionate woman and her descent into bipolar disorder as she is left alone all day with a new baby in a rambling Montana house originally belonging to her husband’s uncle, who took his own life in a gruesome way that we are not permitted to discover until some way into the movie.

Die My Love is another film to remind you that Ramsay believes you should make movies the way VS Naipaul believed you should write books: from a position of strength. There is, simply, overwhelming muscular strength in this picture: in her direction, in Paul Davies’s sound design, in the saturated colour of Seamus McGarvey’s cinematography, and of course in the performances themselves. Robert Pattinson is Jackson, a guy whose job takes him away from home a lot of the time with a box of condoms in the glove-compartment, and Jennifer Lawrence is Grace, who is supposedly going to write a novel during the baby’s nap times – though, worryingly, there isn’t a single book in the house. Sissy Spacek brings her unfakeable presence to the role of Jackson’s mum Pam, who lives in the neighbouring property, a woman for whom the stress of caring for her husband Harry (Nick Nolte), who has dementia, has caused her to sleepwalk, laughing maniacally and carrying a loaded gun.

Sound the tram bells, unleash the smoke plumes from the Tasty Jerk shack – Crystal Palace have finally won a major trophy

As the final whistle was blown at Wembley there was a moment that seemed to stretch out and become frozen in time. The Crystal Palace players collapsed where they were standing, crumpled across the grass like a battle scene fresco. The colours made it beautiful, red and blue against the deep green, new optics, new names, the unstyled celebrations of players unused to these moments, Jean-Philippe Mateta face down, Will Hughes flat on his back, arms spread like a snow angel.

There was a rush of noise as the clock began to tick again. And that was that. Sound the tram bells, unleash the smoke plumes from the Tasty Jerk shack – 119 years into Crystal Palace’s existence this mercurial club with the clanky corrugated stadium has finally won a major trophy.

With overwhelming support from the Australian people, the enormity of this moment should not be underestimated

In a dramatic departure from normal practice, Mr Crisis and Ms Opportunity have arrived arm-in-arm at the Australian front door. Usually – remember the pandemic – Mr Crisis arrives unexpectedly and noisily and leaves Ms Opportunity sitting in the car drawing up lists of transformative things that might be done.

The enormity of this moment, when the Australian people have acknowledged the crises but signalled they want decisive action – by electing a stable majority government that no longer needs to jump at a Murdoch-shaped shadow – should not be underestimated.

As Sam Heatley rubbed Olwen’s temples on a busy street, he realised looking after her was his sole priority

• Find more stories from The moment I knew series

In 2016 a breakup sent me spiralling into a period of deep introspection. I was 25 years old and knew it was time to “do the work”, as they say. I knuckled down and spent a long, lonely winter sorting myself out as best I could. By the spring my mood was thawing, and on the dancefloor at a Chicago house night at Melbourne Town Hall I clocked Olwen for the first time.

When we ran into each other and introduced ourselves at an after party, a frisson ran through me. That brief interaction with her left me so discombobulated I had to leave the party early. I was on the mend, but I definitely wasn’t ready for whatever that was.

• Hyde sacked amid Baltimore’s dismal 15-28 start
• O’s are coming off consecutive playoff appearances

The Baltimore Orioles fired manager Brandon Hyde on Saturday after a dismal start to the season by a team coming off two consecutive playoff appearances.

The Orioles are 15-28 and in last place in the AL East following a loss to Washington on Friday night. Hyde guided the team through an extensive rebuild and won manager of the year honors in 2023, but Baltimore’s performance slipped noticeably during the second half of last year, and the Orioles have put themselves in a significant hole so far in 2025.

In social media posts, president also slams Walmart for price increases and spreads anti-Clinton conspiracy theories

Donald Trump said that he will speak to both Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelenskyy in an effort to stop what he called the “bloodbath” war in Ukraine amid a barrage of new social media posts that included baseless conspiracy theories and a demand that Walmart not raise prices for customers because of tariffs he has imposed.

Trump, posting on his Truth Social account on Saturday, wrote that he will speak to Putin on Monday morning. “THE SUBJECTS OF THE CALL WILL BE, STOPPING THE ‘BLOODBATH’ THAT IS KILLING, ON AVERAGE, MORE THAN 5000 RUSSIAN AND UKRAINIAN SOLDIERS A WEEK, AND TRADE,” Trump wrote, in his customary all-capitalized prose.

As a song contest on a space station descends into terror, Ncuti Gatwa gives his most disturbing performance yet – and the Doctor in rage mode is terrifying

For an episode that started out like a joyfully camp romp into the world of Eurovision, Juno Dawson turned in a script that truly had ice in its heart, in just the way the Doctor (Ncuti Gatwa) told Kid (Freddie Fox) that the Time Lord now had ice in his hearts.

Doctor Who stories often feature alien invasions, conquest, destruction and the desire for revenge, but they have seldom so bleakly painted the determination to carry out a mass casualty terrorism event. That in turn provoked one of the most extreme reactions we have ever seen from the lead character.

It’s time for the world’s biggest musical extravaganza! Follow along with us live – and brace yourself for a wild night …

Talking of our hosts, long term Eurovision watchers will know that the skits and intervals can veer between joyful camp fun and excruciating awkwardness. A bit like a night out with me, I guess. We got some of both during the semi-finals. If you fancy something to get you in the mood, the first semi-final featured this musical number, Made In Switzerland, which was definitely fun, and had a little bit of political bite in some of the lyrics along the way …

Thanks to Nemo’s victory last year, this is Switzerland’s third crack at hosting Eurovision, having hosted the inaugural event in Lugano in 1956 and then hosted in Lausanne in 1989 after perennial trivia question answer Céline Dion won for the country the year before.

It was a day that will live forever in the hearts of everyone connected to Crystal Palace; history made, legends created. The south London club were on a mission to avenge previous Wembley pain, specifically the FA Cup final defeats by Manchester United from 1990 and 2016; to win a first major trophy. They put their supporters through the wringer because it is written that they must suffer. But when the final whistle blew, the joy was boundless. Who knows when it will feel real?

The goalscorer was Eberechi Eze, Palace’s sorcerer-in-chief, and it came in the 16th minute from an assist by Daniel Muñoz, who was irrepressible up and down the right. But the real hero was surely Dean Henderson, who saved a penalty just after the half-hour from the Manchester City forward, Omar Marmoush, and it was hardly the goalkeeper’s only vital intervention.

Linklater recreates the making of the landmark French New Wave classic with an awestruck tastefulness that smooths over any disruptiveness

Breathless, deathless … and pointless? Here is Richard Linklater’s impeccably submissive, tastefully cinephile period drama about the making of Godard’s debut 1960 classic À Bout de Souffle, that starred Jean Seberg and Jean-Paul Belmondo as the star-crossed lovers in Paris. Linklater’s homage has credits in French and is beautifully shot in monochrome, as opposed to the boring old colour of real life in which the events were actually happening; he even cutely fabricates cue marks in the corner of the screen, those things that once told projectionists when to changeover the reels. But Linklater smoothly avoids any disruptive jump-cuts.

It’s a good natured, intelligent effort for which Godard himself, were he still alive, would undoubtedly have ripped Linklater a new one. (When Michel Hazanavicius made Redoubtable in 2017 about Godard’s making of his 1967 film La Chinoise, the man himself called that “a stupid, stupid idea”; Hazanavicius wasn’t even making a film about Godard’s first and biggest hit.

Man, 26, apprehended at Luton airport by counter-terrorism police in connection with fires that included damage to a car

A second man has been arrested in connection with suspected arson attacks on two properties in London and a vehicle linked to Keir Starmer, police have said.

The 26-year-old was arrested at about 1.45pm on Saturday at London Luton airport on suspicion of conspiracy to commit arson with intent to endanger life, the Metropolitan police said.

The arrest was made by counter-terrorism officers from the Eastern Region Special Operations Unit, and the suspect has been taken into police custody in London, the force added.

Officers from the Met’s counter-terrorism command have led the investigation into the three incidents.

One was a fire at the prime minister’s family home in north-west London, which he lets to his sister-in-law, the Guardian understands. The blaze was reported to police by firefighters in the early hours of Monday. Police said damage was caused to the property’s entrance but nobody was hurt.

A car that Starmer had sold to a neighbour last year was set alight four days earlier on the same street.

On 11 May, firefighters dealt with a small fire at the front door of a house where the Labour leader is understood to have lived in the 1990s before it was converted into flats. One person was helped to safety by firefighters wearing breathing apparatus, the London fire brigade said.

Anyone with information that could assist the investigation has been asked to contact the Met.

A 21-year-old man, Roman Lavrynovych, has already been charged with three counts of arson with intent to endanger life and appeared in court on Friday.

The Ukrainian national was remanded in custody after appearing at Westminster magistrates court. He did not enter any pleas to the charges.

Lavrynovych will appear next at the Old Bailey for a plea and trial preparation hearing on 6 June.

• Home favourite wins 6-4, 6-2 at Foro Italico
• Paolini is first Italian to win women’s singles in 40 years

Jasmine Paolini became the first home winner of the Italian Open for 40 years with a dominant victory over Coco Gauff. The 29-year-old, who reached the final of the French Open and Wimbledon last year in a breakthrough season, delighted the fans at the Foro Italico with a 6-4, 6-2 success.

No Italian had won the singles titles in Rome since Raffaella Reggi in 1985, but Paolini thoroughly merited her triumph. Jannik Sinner could make it a home double when he faces Carlos Alcaraz on Sunday. “It doesn’t seem real to me,” Paolini said. “I came here as a kid to see this tournament, but winning it and holding up this trophy wasn’t even in my dreams.”

Oliver Glasner’s pre-match thoughts

It’s a special moment for all of us and we’re really looking forward to the game.

We expect City to have more of the ball, as they do against most teams, especially as they have picked a very attacking line-up. It’s a little bit similar to how Villa played, with lots of attacking players, but that gives you space for transitions. That’s what we need to wait for. We have to be very efficient when we get chances.

Athens takes legal action after its most famous monument given role in creating ‘extremely unpleasant image’

Greece is taking legal action after authorities were caught unaware by the fifth-century BC Acropolis playing a star role in an Adidas advertising campaign.

The decision to feature the western world’s enduring symbol of democracy for commercial purposes in a hi-tech drone show has left Athens with no choice but to press charges, the country’s culture minister said.

• McLaren’s Oscar Piastri edges Max Verstappen by 0.034sec
• Yuki Tsunoda walks away after Red Bull flips in crash

On a circuit marked in the past by tragedy, qualifying in Imola for the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix gave a stark, frightening reminder of how dangerous Formula One remains and what a knife-edged challenge this remarkable track presents. Pole position was claimed by McLaren’s Oscar Piastri but only after the session had been stopped twice because of two huge accidents, one involving Yuki Tsunoda and the other Franco Colapinto.

High drama, from which both drivers emerged fortunately unhurt, was followed by an equally bruising blow which Lewis Hamilton described as leaving him “devastated”, in the form of disappointment for Ferrari fans at their home race, with a shock early exit for both Charles Leclerc and Hamilton in 11th and 12th.

After nearly 20 riders formed a breakaway group with 100km to go, Plapp attacked the Montelago climb and the Australian rode to victory by a handsome margin and claim his first Grand Tour stage win.

• Dortmund pip Freiburg by beating Holstein Kiel 3-0
• Sporting hold off Benfica to win Portuguese title

Borussia Dortmund cruised past relegated Holstein Kiel 3-0 to finish fourth and snatch the last Champions League spot for next season, in the best comeback of the last seven matchdays in Bundesliga history. Niko Kovac’s Dortmund won six of their last seven matches to climb from 10th to fourth in the standings and finish on 57 points, two ahead of Freiburg, who lost 3-1 at home to third-placed Eintracht Frankfurt and drop into the Europa League.

Dortmund, needing a three-goal win to be guaranteed a top-four finish irrespective of results in the other games, got off to a dream start when Serhou Guirassy converted a third-minute penalty for the lead. Kiel were then left with 10 players when Carl Johansson was sent off with a straight red card but the hosts could not make the extra man count until the break.

Exclusive: Guardian investigation reveals guidance for retailers in England changed after campaign by global food firms

Government legal guidance urging retailers in England to offer millions of consumers deals and discounts on minimally processed and nutritious food was dropped after a lobbying campaign by the world’s biggest ultra-processed food firms, the Guardian can reveal.

Ahead of new regulations banning junk food promotions from October, the Department of Health and Social Care issued advice to thousands of shops, supermarkets, online retailers and other businesses to help them comply with the law.

Libertarian far-right Sławomir Mentzen and hard-left Adrian Zandberg among challengers as country prepares to vote in presidential election

Hidden off a charming market square in central Poland, a bar offers the closest physical experience to walking into the internet.

Stretching incongruously through medieval basements, Pub Mentzen in Toruń feels like it was designed by someone on a full-fat diet of online politics. As you enter, a gallery wall displays mugshots of “customers we don’t serve”, but instead of rowdy patrons, it features Polish political leaders, including at least five prime ministers.

Interview by special counsel shows then president having problems remembering key dates and life events

A newly released recording appears to confirm that Joe Biden suffered some memory lapses while US president, struggling to recall the year his son died or when Donald Trump was first elected.

While being interviewed by a special counsel over his handling of classified records, the audio shows Biden’s responses are marked by long pauses, a faint whispered voice and confusion over key dates, such as when his son Beau died (2015) or when Trump won his first presidency (2016).

Comments at Cannes come after US president’s social media posts against Bruce Springsteen and Taylor Swift

Pedro Pascal has sharply criticised Donald Trump’s attacks against artists, as the director of a conspiracy theory satire starring the actor said he feared the political messages of films could be weaponised by US border guards.

“Fuck the people that try to make you scared,” the Game of Thrones and The Last of Us actor said at a press conference at the Cannes film festival, promoting Ari Aster’s new film Eddington. “And fight back. And don’t let them win.”

After a dedicated offseason grind that broke the internet, Clark enters her sophomore season as the MVP favorite and the anchor of Indiana’s new-look roster

The hype kicked off with a single photograph. In March, during the Big Ten women’s basketball tournament in Indianapolis, a shot of Caitlin Clark cheering from the sidelines, arms flexed, muscles defined, went viral and sparked conversation across social media. “There’s been much ado about her guns,” said Amber Cox, the Fever’s chief operating officer. Even the team staff took notice. “She was obviously very proud of it,” added Sarah Kessler, Indiana’s head athletic performance coach. “We did have a chuckle about it, though, because it garnered more attention than we realized it would.”

That viral image wasn’t just a flash of vanity; it was evidence of Clark’s offseason grind. For the first time since the summer of 2023, she had the time and space to focus entirely on building her body for the rigors of the WNBA. “I don’t know the last time I’ve had an athlete in the W, or even on the men’s side, really, where you have a consistent four- to five-month period where you get to just work together,” Kessler said. The main goal? Adding muscle. Clark embraced that challenge with characteristic tenacity. “I’ve had athletes who have said that, and then maybe when the work component shows up to actually achieve those goals, that’s where there’s maybe a disconnect,” Kessler noted. “But with Caitlin, she set those goals, and from the jump, I was seeing her in the weight room four to five times a week.”

Israel says intensified bombings are part of campaign expansion to ‘achieve all of the war goals in Gaza’

At least 140 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza in the last 24 hours, a deadly escalation as Israel seemed poised to launch a major offensive in the besieged territory.

Israeli strikes in Gaza have killed more than 300 people since Thursday, Palestinian health officials said, one of the deadliest periods in the war since ceasefire talks broke down in March. The intensified bombing campaigns came as Israel’s total blockade on humanitarian aid has prompted fears of a famine in the Palestinian territory.

Storm systems sweeping across the midwestern US have left more than 25 dead in Missouri and Kentucky.

• India batter retired from Test cricket this week
• Kohli could play in championship or Metro Bank Cup

Virat Kohli could yet be seen batting in England once more after Middlesex confirmed they are keen to lure India’s recently retired galáctico to Lord’s. The 36-year-old called time on his stellar Test career at the start of the week, ruling himself out of the five-Test series in England that begins at Headingley next month. But notably his statement said nothing about drawing a line through first-class cricket.

Middlesex have form when it comes to using Lord’s as a pull for star overseas talent, having signed South Africa’s AB de Villiers for the T20 Blast in 2019 and attracted New Zealand’s Kane Williamson over for the second half of this season. Both deals came about in collaboration with MCC – Williamson will also play for London Spirit – and officials there have indicated they would be happy to similarly split the cost of any deal for Kohli. There is a belief that, as someone steeped in the sport’s history, Kohli is keen to play at the Home of Cricket again.

CBP agents’ questioning of the leftwing streamer shone a light on an urgent question: what are your rights at the border (or airport)?

When Hasan Piker was stopped and questioned about his political views by US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents at Chicago’s O’Hare airport last Sunday, the popular leftwing streamer thought he knew exactly what their motive was. “Obviously the reason for why they’re doing that is, I think, to try to create an environment of fear,” he told his legion of fans on a Twitch stream in which he described his ordeal. “To try to get people like myself … to shut the fuck up.”

But the decision by Piker – a 33-year-old US citizen – to entertain the agents’ questions for nearly two hours has some of the self-described socialist’s fans and allies questioning why he didn’t do just that.

Known for its trailblazing ‘Nordic model’ of generous parental perks, Norway now faces a return of low fertility

Although falling birthrates are a global trend, such is the concern in Oslo the government has commissioned a birthrate committee to investigate the causes and possible consequences and devise strategies to reverse the population’s current trajectory.

Much remains uncertain about Valeria Márquez’s death. But it shines a light on a universal issue

Valeria Márquez was killed in one of the most horrifically public ways possible. On Tuesday evening, the 23-year-old Mexican social media influencer, who had built up a large following with videos about beauty and makeup, was recording a TikTok livestream in the beauty salon where she worked in Jalisco, a state in west-central Mexico. A man entered the establishment and, with her video still running, shot her dead.
