Weather’s role in wildfires in Atlantic Canada | SaltWire #weather #climatechange #wildfireseasonMALMO, Sweden - Swedish host city Malmo geared up for the Eurovision grand final on Saturday as excitement mingled with the tension of heightened security threats and political protests over Israel's participation.
Israeli solo artist Eden Golan, 20, and her song"Hurricane" also qualified for Saturday's final with betting odds on Friday showing her emerge as one of the leading contenders to win. The world's biggest live music event, the Eurovision Song Contest is estimated to have drawn around 100,000 visitors to Malmo, Sweden's third-biggest city, while many millions more in Europe and further afield tune in for the broadcast.
Some booing was heard from the crowd before, during and after Golan's performance in the semi-finals on Thursday, but also applause and Israeli flags waving, according to a Reuters journalist in the auditorium. More demonstrations are planned for Saturday and again expected to draw thousands of protesters. There will also be an alternative music festival in the city that has billed itself as the"genocide-free song contest".
