Eurovision Livewire: Cyprus is back in the spotlight as Antigoni Buxton’s “Jalla” powered her into Saturday’s grand final in Vienna, with fans already buzzing about the show’s big table stage prop and its “upgraded” Mediterranean energy. Final Countdown: The running order is out, and rehearsal drama hit hard—organisers had to restart after a curtain failed to open, plus last-minute prop issues forced presenters to improvise. Boycott Backdrop: The contest is still shadowed by protests and boycotts over Israel’s participation, with multiple countries staying away and crowds reacting sharply to some acts. Cyprus Local News: Planning permission has been granted for Cyprus’ first crematorium in Ayia Varvara, Paphos—construction expected to start in September. Safety & Justice: A Turkish national has been arrested in Northern Cyprus after an alleged toddler abduction from a British mother, following a public plea for help.
