Podcasts about Ebu

This week I discuss the latest BBC study on AI answer quality from public data sources. As I discuss, the BBC and EBU found that 45% of news queries produce erroneous answers, so the reality has set in: public domain AI engines are neither “superintelligent” nor are they perfect. Yet they are very self-confident. So we, as users, need to be careful. As you'll hear, there are three things to consider here, and you can read more about this in my latest article on the topic. For those of us in corporate roles, the message is clear: data quality must be our #1 priority, and this is a whole new domain for HR and other service functions.

Ob Israel beim kommenden Eurovision Song Contest teilnimmt, ist nach wie vor nicht klar. Diverse Länder hatten angekündigt, sich im Falle einer israelischen Teilnahme 2026 vom ESC zurückzuziehen. Nun hätte eine kurzfristig von der EBU anberaumte Online-Abstimmung unter allen Mitgliedssendern im November eigentlich für Klarheit sorgen sollen - allerdings wurde auch diese Abstimmung wieder abgesagt. Stattdessen wird nun doch bei einer EBU-Generalversammlung Anfang Dezember in Genf über Israels ESC-Zukunft entschieden. Über das Für und Wider so einer Abstimmung und den Umgang mit israelischen und jüdischen Künstlern in der Kulturszene diskutieren die Podcast-Hosts Marcel Stober und Thomas Mohr mit NDR Kulturredakteur Daniel Kaiser, Moderator des Literaturpodcasts "eat.REAT.sleep.". Im Oktober ist Liedtexter Bernd Meinunger gestorben. Meinunger prägte mit seinen Texten nicht nur nahezu den kompletten deutschen Schlager sondern auch den ESC. Insgesamt 19 Texte von ihm wurden beim ESC aufgeführt - zwischen 1979 und 2015. Von ihm stammen auch die Worte zu Deutschlands erstem Siegertitel "Ein bisschen Frieden". Oft arbeitete er mit Ralph Siegel zusammen, doch anders als der Komponist suchte Texter Meinunger nie die Öffentlichkeit und ist vielen wahrscheinlich bis jetzt unbekannt. Wir blicken zurück auf sein Schaffen und seine Bedeutung für die Musikszene. Außerdem suchen wir gemeinsam mit ESC kompakt und euch die schönsten ESC-Balladen dieses Jahrtausends. Ihr könnt eure Favoriten wählen - und in einer großen Ranking-Show am 20. Dezember küren wir die beste ESC-Ballade seit dem Jahr 2000. Wie die Wahl funktioniert, erklären wir euch in dieser Folge.

AI asistenti nejsou příliš důvěryhodným zdrojem zpravodajských informací. Upozornila na to studie Evropské vysílací unie EBU, na které se podílela veřejnoprávní média v 22 zemích světa včetně Českého rozhlasu. „Potíž je v tom, že široká veřejnost nečte výsledky podobných studií. A i kdyby je četla, tak je velice rychle pustí z hlavy a bude dál chatbotům důvěřovat,“ stýská si v pořadu Online Plus vědecký redaktor Deníku N Petr Koubský.Všechny díly podcastu Online Plus můžete pohodlně poslouchat v mobilní aplikaci mujRozhlas pro Android a iOS nebo na webu mujRozhlas.cz.

Gli assistenti di Intelligenza Artificiale (IA) come Copilot, Perplexity, Gemini o ChatGPT non sono ancora un modo affidabile per accedere alle notizie e informarsi sui fatti del mondo, ma un numero sempre maggiore di utenti si fida della loro accuratezza. Lo si legge in uno studio realizzato dalla BBC in collaborazione con l'Unione europea di radio-televisione (EBU) secondo il quale oltre un terzo delle risposte fornite dall'IA presenta problemi considerati “significativi”. Quali i rischi? Quali le prospettive, anche dal punto di vista occupazionale per chi lavoro in questo ambito? E quali, più in generale, le conseguenze di questo stato di cose per la tenuta della democrazia? Ne discutiamo con: Ruben Razzante, Docente di Diritto dell'informazione all'Università Cattolica di Milano e alla Lumsa di Roma Francesco Veri, politologo, ricercatore senior presso il Centro per gli studi democratici di Aarau, affiliato all'Università di Zurigo Domenico Talia, professore di informatica all'Università della Calabria, autore del libro “Giornalisti robot?

The European Broadcasting Union has postponed its plan to hold a membership vote to decide if Israel's broadcaster KAN will be allowed to compete in next year's Eurovision. While it remains unclear if the vote will still happen, it doesn't fully resolve how the EBU got to this point in the first place. We'll take a closer look at other times the EBU's non-political stance has been tested and see what lessons can be applied going forward.

İbn Mes'ud (r.a.) yolu ile gelen rivayette,Resûlullâh (s.a.v.) şöyle buyurdu: “Misvâk kullanmanız gerekir. Zira misvâkta on güzel şey vardır. Şunlardır: Ağzı temizler Râbbi razı eder. Melekleri sevindirir. Gözü parlatır. Dişleri beyazlatır. Diş etlerini pekleştirir. Diş kirini giderir. Yemeği hazmettirir. Balgamı keser. Namaza kat kat sevap getirir. Ayrıca ağız kokusunu gûzelleştirir, ağzın çirkin kokularını önler. O ağız ki, Kur'ân yoludur.” Hassen b. Atiyye (r.a.) Resûlullâh (s.a.v.)'den bir hadîs-i şerifi şöyle anlattı: “Abdest imânın yarısıdır. Misvâk ise abdestîn bir parçasıdır. Eğer ümmetime zor gelmeyeceğini bilseydim, her namaz için abdest aldıklarında misvâk kullanmalarını emrederdim. Misvakla kılınan iki rekât namaz, misvâksız kılınan yetmiş rekât namazdan daha faziletlidir.”Ebû Hureyre (r.a.)'den naklen Ebû Seleme (r.a.) Resûlullâh (s.a.v.)'in şöyle buyurduğunu anlattı: “Beş şey var ki, fıtrat icabı yapmak gerek. Şunlardır: Bıyıkları kısaltmak, tırnakları kesmek, etek (kasık) tıraşı olmak, koltuk altlarını tıraş etmek, misvak kullanmak.”Mücâhid (r.âleyh) anlatır: Bir süre, Cebrail (a.s.)'ın Resûlullâh (s.a.v.)'e gelmesi gecikti. Sonra geldi. Gelince Resûlullâh (s.a.v.) sordu: “Ey Cebrail! Seni tutan (gelmemeye zorlayan) ne oldu?” Cebrail (a.s.) şöyle anlattı: “Size nasıl gelebilirdim ki? Aranızda tırnaklarını kesmeyen, bıyıklarını kısaltmayan, parmak aralarına su ulaştırmayan, misvâk kullanmayanlar (Ağız temizliğine riayet etmeyenler) var.(Ebu'l-Leys es-Semerkandi, Tenbihü'l-Gafilin, s.338-340)

In Eurovisieland is het allesbehalve rustig. Marco en GJ hadden gehoopt zich deze week te kunnen onderdompelen in de 18 kersverse deelnemers van Benidorm Fest (vooral Marco stond al klaar met zijn notitieboek), maar de EBU besloot anders.

Cehennemlikler, Resûlullâh (s.a.v.) ismini duyunca hep bir ağızdan bağrışarak şöyle derler: “Ey Cebrâil! Resûlullâh (s.a.v.)'e bizden selâm söyle. Günâhlarımızın bizimle O (s.a.v.)'in arasını ayırdığını ve hâlimizin kötülüğünü haber ver.” Cebrâil (a.s.) gider. Şânı yüce olan Allâh'ın huzurunda durur. Allâh (c.c.) sorar: “Ümmet-i Muhammed'i ne halde gördün?” Cebrâil (a.s.) cevap verir: “Onların hâli ne kötü, yerleri ne sıkıntılı.” Allâh (c.c.) sorar: “Senden bir şeyler talep ettiler mi?” Cebrâil (a.s.) cevap verir: “Evet, peygamberlerine selâm götürmemi ve hâl-i pürmelâllerini ona duyurmamı istediler” Allâh (c.c.) buyurur: “Git, haber ver.”Cebrâil (a.s.) gider. Nebi (s.a.v.)'e varır. O, beyaz inciden yapılmış bir çadırda oturmaktadır. Bu çadırın dört bin kapısı vardır. Her bir kapının altından yapılmış iki kanadı bulunmaktadır. Cebrâil (a.s.) der ki: “Yâ Resûlullâh! Senin ümmetinin, Cehennem'de azâp görmekte olan günâhkârlar topluluğu yanından geliyorum.Sana selâm ediyorlar ve “Bizim hâlimiz ne kötü, yerimiz ne sıkıntılı” diyorlar. Bu haberi alan Resulullâh (s.a.v.), hemen kalkarak Arş'ın altına gelir, secdeye kapanır. O âna kadar hiç bir kimsenin yapmadığı şekilde Allâh (c.c.)'a hâmd ve senâda bulunur. Allâh (c.c.) buyurur ki: “Başını kaldır, iste. İsteğin verilecektir, şefâat dile, şefâatin kâbul edilecektir.” Nebi (s.a.v.) de der: “Yâ Râbbi! Benim ümmetimin günâhkâr, bedbahtları hakkında senin hükmün yerine getirilmiş, intikamın alınmış. Artık onları bana bağışla.” Allâh (c.c.) buyurur: “Onları sana bağışladım. Cehennem'e var. “Lâ ilâhe illallâh” diyen herkesi oradan çıkar.”(Ebu'l-Leys es-Semerkandi, Tenbihü'l- Gafilin, s.83)

Niels Th. Dahl er politisk analytiker på Jyllands-Posten, og så er han kæmpe fan af Eurovision.Han har enorm kærlighed til musikken og festen, men den internationale musikkonkurrence er i fare, mener han.Han oplevede det første gang i Malmø sidste år, hvor Palæstina-demonstranter og buhråb under den israelske sang ødelagde stemningen for ham, og nu truer flere lande med at boykotte Eurovision, hvis Israel er med. Derfor har arrangøren, EBU, bebudet en afstemning i begyndelsen af november, der skal afgøre Israels skæbne til næste års Eurovision.Men Eurovision vil ikke være det samme, hvis Israel ikke kommer med, frygter Niels Th. Dahl.Hvad er det, han er bange for at miste? Og hvorfor var det anderledes, da Rusland blev ekskluderet i 2022? Gæst: Niels Th.

Salih Merî (r.âleyh), cuma gecesi, cuma namazını kılmak üzere mescide gitmek için yola çıktı. Kabristana uğradı. Kendi kendine şöyle dedi: “Tanyeri ağarıncaya kadar kalayım.” Gözlerine uyku geldi. Şöyle bir rüya gördü: Kabirde yatanlar kabirlerinden çıkmışlar, halka halka olup oturmuş, konuşuyorlar. Bir de baktı ki, onlardan ayrı, kirli elbiseli bir genç, bir köşede, üzüntülü bir hâlde oturuyor. Oradakilerin hepsine tepsi tepsi, üzeri mendillerle örtülü hediyeler gelip dağıldı. Herkes kendi tabağını aldı; sonra kabrine girdi. En sona bu genç kaldı. “Hey Allâh (c.c.)'un kulu, sende gördüğüm bu üzüntü neden?” “O tabaklar, hayattakilerin ölülerine hediyeleridir. Onların adına verdikleri sadaka, yaptıkları duâ, cuma geceleri onlara gelir.” Daha sonra şöyle dedi: “Anam hacca gitmek istedi; berâber yola çıktık. Basra'ya gelince öldüm. Bundan sonra anam evlendi.Dünyaya daldı. Ölümümden sonra beni hatırlayan kimse olmayınca üzülmek bana haktır.” “Senin ananın evi nerede?” Onun yerini bana anlattı. Sabah oldu. Namazımı kıldım. Sonra gittim. O kadının evini sordum, buldum. Yanına gittim, izin istedim. Kendimi ona tanıttım, kapıdan: “Ben Sâlîh Merî'yim” dedim. İzin verdi, içeri girdim. Şöyle dedim: “Benim söyleyeceğim söz, senin söyleyeceğin söz, hiç kimse tarafından duyulmamalıdır. Böyle istiyorum.” Ona yaklaştım, aramızda bir perde kaldı. Şöyle sordum: “Sana Allâh (c.c.)'dan rahmet dilerim, çocuğun var mı?” “Benim bir genç oğlum vardı, öldü.” Bunun üzerine durumu ona anlattım. Ağlamaya başladı. Daha sonra çıkardı bana bin dirhem verdi. Ve şöyle dedi: “O sevdiğim göz nurum için bunları dağıt. Kalan ömrümde onu duâdan unutmayacağım. Onun için sadaka yereceğim.”(Ebu'l-Leys es-Semerkandi, Tenbihü'l-Gafilin, s.346-347)

Unter anderem wissen wir jetzt, was der SWR zum deutschen Vorentscheid plant: eine Sendung - ohne Stefan Raab oder RTL. Dafür aber im Abendprogramm der ARD. Was sonst noch geplant ist, besprechen wir in der aktuellen Ausgabe.Außerdem mussten wir natürlich über die mögliche (Nicht-)Teilnahme von Israel sprechen. Denn auch bei der EBU ist das Thema mittlerweile zu einem großen Politikum geworden. Diverse Länder drohen damit, nicht am ESC 2026 teilzunehmen, wenn Israel nicht ausgeschlossen wird. Die Abstimmung darüber soll im November stattfinden.Cover-Foto: Fabian Sponheimer https://fabiansponheimer.comIntro & Outro: RixdorfZu unserem Twitch-Channel kommt ihr hier: https://twitch.tv/dasdilettantischeduettNoch mehr von Mikkel und Andi findet ihr hier: https://linktr.ee/dasdilettantischeduettIntro & Outro: RixdorfCover-Foto: Fabian Sponheimer https://fabiansponheimer.com Hosted on Acast.

The Rasmus aus Finnland, bekannt für ihren Welthit „In The Shadows“, vertraten 2022 ihr Land mit „Jezebel“ beim Eurovision Song Contest in Turin. Ihr neues Album „Weirdo“ ist erschienen, und sie sind diesen Herbst auf einer großen Europatournee. Sonja sprach für ihren Kanal Bleistiftrocker.de mit Sänger Lauri Ylönen über aktuelle Projekte und erfuhr, dass die ESC-Teilnahme als Teambuilding für die Band diente. Lauri erzählt von der Bedeutung des Wortes "Weirdo" für ihn und über den Neustart von The Rasmus nach der Pandemie und dem Fluch und Segen des digitalen Zeitalters. Aber auch über die Unterstützung für die Ukraine und ihrem Charity-Konzert in Kyiv am Tag nach einem Angriff, seinem persönlichen Neuanfang in Finnland nach Jahren in den USA.Die traditionellen Fragen muss Lauri auch beantworten, doch vom Eurovision Song Contest 2025 hat er kaum einen Song im Gedächtnis behalten. Sein absoluter Lieblings-ESC-Song ist ein Klassiker aus Finnland: Marion Rung mit "Tipi-Tii" aus dem Jahr 1962 Alkis und Marco diskutieren zudem über eine EBU-Generalversammlung und den Intervision Song Contest 2025.In der Kleinen Song Contest Geschichte am Schluss erzählt Marco von der letzten echten Intervision-Siegerin.

De European Broadcasting Union (EBU) liet weten dat ze eerder een besluit gaan nemen over de deelname van Israël aan het songfestival. Omroep AVROTROS zei eerder samen met andere landen niet mee te doen met de volgende editie van het songfestival als Israël deelneemt. Binnenkort mogen alle deelnemende omroepen hierover stemmen. Moet je landen uitsluiten op het Songfestival? En moet de EBU dit aan een stemming overlaten?

The Eurovision Song Contest has unveiled a sparkling new look to celebrate its 70th anniversary in 2026 in Austria — with a refreshed logo, playful new font “Singing Sans,” and a colourful new brand identity. In this discussion video, the wiwibloggs team reacts to the EBU's official announcement and discusses the key design updates, including:

Masque, détendeur, palmes, stab… on connaît tous les équipements de base du plongeur. Mais au-delà de tout ça, quels sont les accessoires vraiment utiles en plongée ? Lesquels relèvent de la sécurité, du confort ou du plaisir ? Et surtout : comment les choisir, les organiser et les transporter sans se transformer en sapin de Noël sous-marin ?Dans cet épisode, Lucie retrouve Sébastien Salingue, moniteur de plongée et auteur de BD, pour faire le tour des équipements à embarquer en plongée… ou pas !Au programme :les indispensables : parachute, miroir, sifflet, octopus, manomètre... ;les petits plus sécurité : masque ou sangle de secours, embout détendeur, couteau/coupe-fil, ordi de rechange ;les accessoires pour mieux communiquer : plaquette pour écrire, boussole, loupe... ;le confort malin : sac filet pour ramasser et remonter des déchets, tuba, GoPro, crochet en cas de courant ;la bonne gestion du rangement : poches internes, short à poches, pochettes attachées, mousquetons bien positionnés, etc.Sébastien partage aussi ses retours de terrain, ses astuces de moniteur et quelques conseils pratiques : mieux vaut avoir peu de matériel mais bien rangé que trop d'équipement mal sécurisé. Et surtout, chaque plongeur doit composer sa configuration en fonction de sa pratique, de sa stab, et de ses besoins réels.Un épisode pédagogique, accessible, ponctué d'exemples concrets, idéal pour les plongeurs débutants qui cherchent à s'équiper, comme pour les confirmés qui veulent optimiser leur matériel.

Éric Scherer a longtemps eu des positions de vigie de l'écosystème médiatique et de ses évolutions. Il a notamment été directeur de la stratégie à l'Agence France-Presse (AFP) puis directeur du MédiaLab, chargé de l'innovation et de la prospective à France Télévisions. Il prend sa retraite et a accepté de revenir, au micro de L'atelier des médias, sur les révolutions des médias à l'ère numérique... et aux temps nouveaux de l'intelligence artificielle. Au début de cet entretien de plus d'une heure, Éric Scherer exprime son attachement à la profession de journaliste. « Je suis très très fier d'avoir cette carte de presse et de l'avoir eue sans discontinuité depuis depuis 40 ans, depuis juin 1985, quand je suis entré stagiaire à l'Agence France-Presse. » Puis il reprend la célèbre formule de Jacques Chirac : « Notre maison brûle et nous regardons ailleurs. » Pour lui, ce fut un « sentiment assez pénible » de voir ses collègues et supérieurs ne pas vouloir anticiper les bouleversements du secteur des médias. Il décrit la situation actuelle avec le développement rapide de l'intelligence artificielle qui bouleverse tout. « ​​​​​​​Le numérique était finalement peu de choses à côté de ce qui est en train de se passer », assure-t-il. Éric a été le témoin privilégié de tournants majeurs, de l'échec du Japon à saisir la vague dématérialisée – malgré son avance électronique – ou encore l'explosion du web 2.0 aux États-Unis au milieu des années 2000. En France, Éric Scherer a lancé en 2007 le blog AFP Media Watch sur lequel il alertait les patrons de presse de la révolution en cours. Ils « ​​​​​​​disaient une chose : "Ça tiendra bien jusqu'à ma retraite." Je trouvais ça fondamentalement criminel, égoïste », se souvient-il. Il rapporte aussi l'arrogance d'un dirigeant de Google venu dire aux patrons de journaux français : « ​​​​​​​Vos contenus ne valent rien. Ils ne valent rien et ce sont des atomes dans un univers. Donc ne demandez pas d'argent. » Pour Éric Scherer, le journaliste est « ​​​​​​​extraordinaire[ment] conservateur », souvent trop la tête dans le guidon pour s'intéresser à l'économie de son secteur. Il illustre ce déni en donnant l'exemple de l'échec de la télévision à comprendre la transition vers le streaming. Il se désole que les réseaux sociaux, initialement perçus comme une « ​​​​​​​démocratisation » des outils de production, soient devenus des « ​​​​​​​déversoires de haine, des déversoires de complotisme, des déversoires de fake news, sans contrôle ». Aujourd'hui, l'heure est à l'intelligence artificielle. « ​​​​​​​Le numérique était une blague à côté de ce qui est en train d'arriver », avertit Éric Scherer. Face au « ​​​​​​​pillage » des contenus par les entreprises d'IA – souvent sans compensation –, l'UER (Union européenne de radio-télévision, ou EBU), dont il a présidé le comité News, a formulé cinq grandes demandes aux plateformes : la permission (demander l'accord pour utiliser les contenus), la compensation (rémunération), l'intégrité (protection de la source et de la marque), le pluralisme (diversité des informations traitées) et l'aide à la lutte contre la désinformation. Il reste optimiste sur le rôle des journalistes, même si les défis sont immenses. « ​​​​​​​Pour le coup, je suis assez convaincu que l'IA ne va pas remplacer les journalistes. En revanche, un journaliste qui sait utiliser l'IA, qui en est familier, va remplacer un journaliste qui ne le sait pas et celui qui ne veut pas s'y mettre est cuit, à mon sens. » Fraîchement retraité, Éric Scherer poursuit une vie d'« ​​​​​​​explorateur », souhaitant voyager – à Taïwan, notamment – et mettre derrière lui la veille effrénée du secteur des médias.

There's a distinct European flavour to this week's episode and we kick off with our reaction to the UK/EU deal struck on Monday.Has the Scottish fishing industry, once again, been a bargaining chip worth sacrificing to benefit other parts of the UK economy? Given that fishing and farming are devolved matters why wasn't the Scottish government either involved or at the very least consulted on the agreements reached in these areas?

Lesley has always been a massive fan of the event, Pat not so much,  what are her reactions to the inclusion of Israel, the behaviour of the EBU and host broadcaster in apparently censoring the live audience during the Israeli performance, and the claims of massive state intervention in order for Israel to stage a propaganda coup?The British Museum hosted a secret celebration of Israel "Independence" Day. Much of the focus has been on the appearance at it by comedian Jimmy Carr but should more have been made of the speech given by UK Minister for Defence Procurement and Industry, Maria Eagle , on the day that the Labour government was in court defending itself against claims that it had continued to supply Israel with F35 aircraft parts in breach of its own sanctions?ScotLand( sic) Futures led by the Scottish Land Commission has called for individuals, community groups, land managers, businesses and organisations to "help shape a shared vision for how Scotland's land is owned, used and managed".

Pa smo dobili, kar smo iskali. Tako dolgo smo na pol paranoični vsakemu malo bolj nenavadnemu dogodku kot vzrok obesili teorijo zarote, da so sedaj, ko se nenavadni dogodki vrstijo eden za drugim, teorije zarote povsem izgubile kredibilnost. Z drugimi besedami, iz nekdanjega medijskega slogana, ki je bil neuradna himna teorij zarote "Kaj pa, če je vse res", smo prišli pod nov moto: "Vse je res!" Kje so teorije zarote, kot jih človek potrebuje? Ni jih in ni jih bilo, ko je bivši Dončićev klub kompenziral izgubo tako, da je zmagal v loteriji nabora, čeprav je imel komaj odstotek možnosti, in ni jih, ko je večina Evrope glasovala za izraelsko pesem na Evroviziji. O Evroviziji torej.Strinjamo se okoli prvega aksioma Evrovizije, ki govori o tem, da med evrovizijskim cirkusom glasba ni pomembna. Ali če smo bolj specifični; geostrateški položaj sveta, sosedski odnosi, spolne preference, koreografije, denar, moda, turizem in seveda evropska televizijska politika so pomembnejši kot glasba. Če kdo celo poje, je fino, če ne, pa je tudi OK. S tega stališča letošnja Evrovizija ni bila nobena izjema; vse drugo pred glasbo, na prvem mestu pa seveda glasovanje, ki je Izraelu prineslo največ glasov evropskega občinstva.                     Izraelci imajo ljubezensko razmerje z evropskim glasbenim občinstvom. Že leta 2018 so dosegli rekordno število glasov s takrat še posebej abotno poskočnico, lani so bili po številu glasov občinstva drugi za Hrvaško, letos pa prvi. Komentarjev na letošnji rezultat je ogromno, ampak ker se jih večina odvija v razvedrilnih rubrikah spletnih in elektronskih medijev, so komentarji kot komentatorji – simpatični in igrivi. Če pa kdo komentira bolj zares, takoj zapade v rove teorij zarote. Tako bomo poskusili z zarotniško, a vendar simpatično teorijo.                      Že lani so se Izraelci odločili zbrisati Palestince z obličja Zemlje. Z brisanjem z obličja Zemlje imajo namreč tisočletne izkušnje in kar so drugi trenirali na njih, zdaj oni izvajajo na drugih. Ko enkrat osvojiš princip, je implementacija enostavna. Kakorkoli: javno mnenje je v vojni pomembnejše od pušk in bomb; to je znana resnica, dokazana v teh tisočletjih nasilja in krvi. In ni ga večjega uspeha, kot če se agresor, ali pač genocidneš v tem primeru, pokaže kot civiliziran in družbeno sprejemljiv. Boljše priložnosti, kot je množično evropsko glasovanje, skoraj referendum, ni! Rezultat glasovanja pokaže, da tako prebivalstvo kot naša evropska krovna televizijska organizacija z veseljem zamahnemo z roko, pomežiknemo in samo tisti najbolj zategnjeni naredijo »Ti, ti, ti«, vsi ostali pa smo navdušeni, ker imajo Izraelci spevno pesmico. Ter glasujemo za njih, ker je naš glas pomembnejši od trupel v Gazi. Za Izrael je največje število glasov evropskega občinstva strateška zmaga, ki jim je ne morejo izglasovati ne njihova vojska, ne Mosad in ne vsemogoče ameriške marketinške agencije. Ampak zdaj protizarotniški agenti svetovnih medijev vzkliknejo: "I, kako bi pa naj Izraelci to storili? Telefonsko glasovanje je namreč najbolj verodostojen in varen način neposredne demokracije, kar jih pozna vesolje!" Ter nas, ki razmišljamo heretično, vržejo v temne kleti teoretičnih zarotnikov. Ampak tudi naivni pisun, ki so mu vohunske metode znane le od agenta 007, dobi idejo ali dve, kako lahko zmanipuliraš telefonsko glasovanje ... Najprej že na osnovi genialne ideje evropskih televizijcev, ki so jih evropski telekomunikacijski baroni prepričali, da bi bilo modro dovoliti z ene telefonske številke glasovati dvajsetkrat. Tako evropski telekomi posameznega evrovizijskega navdušenca potencialno pomolzejo dvajsetkrat. Ob tem pa so se televizijci zavarovali s klavzulo, po kateri ni treba razkriti absolutnega števila glasov. Le število točk, ki jih izračuna bog ve kateri umetnointeligenčni algoritem … In izraelskim agentom ni treba drugega, kot zbrati recimo 10 000 evropskih enajstošolnikov, jim stisniti vsakemu po dvajset evrov, in "voilà": 200 000 glasov. Ampak ker, resnici na ljubo, nismo ravno opazili pravovernih judov, kako se smukajo okoli Kraljev ulice, so morali uporabiti nekaj drugega. In tudi na to ima v espionaži izveden pisec odgovor. Izraelci so razvili Pegasusa, ki ga na Slovenskem prevajamo kot Pegaz. Gre za nabor programskih orodij, ki jih množično kupujejo in istočasno nakup zanikajo vse svetovne vlade. Orodje, ki mu je prisluškovati vašemu mobilnemu telefonu preprosto, kot otroku vreči kamen, je menda tako izpopolnjeno, da so se državne skrivnosti v sramu poskrile v arhive, saj jih Pegasus razgali, še preden uspejo postati skrivnosti. Hočemo povedati, da je izraelskemu vohunskemu programu – ki je globalni hit in ima v opisu osnovnih nalog prisluškovanje telefonom in manipuliranje z rezultati – liričnemu sopranu izpod sionskega griča priskrbeti nekaj milijonov glasov mačji kašelj. Ne namigujemo torej, da so Izraelci ponaredili glasovanje ob letošnji Pesmi Evrovizije, temveč trdimo, da so Izraelci ponaredili letošnje glasovanje ob Pesmi Evrovizije. Obstaja tudi dokaz, ko se je Pegasus v torek še malo lovil. Če si na Norveškem v predizboru glasoval za Hrvaško pod št. 14, si dobil povratni sms, ki se ti je zahvalil, da si glasoval za Izrael. Seveda pa sta transparentni in vsega zaupanja vredni ter niti slučajno od izraelske firme sponzorirani organizaciji, kot sta EBU in njihov telekomunikacijski partner, povedali, da je šlo samo za manjšo napakico, ki na rezultat glasovanja ni vplivala. Če parafraziramo uspešen slovenski evrovizijski ekvivalent: "Ja, pa ja de." Moramo pa, k temu nas zavezuje novinarski kodeks, preučiti še druge možnosti. Predvsem tisto, po kateri pa bi se v Evropi resnično našlo toliko navdušencev nad izraelsko pesmico, ki bi zavrgli moralne dileme ob Gazi ter glasovali z logiko, da je zabavna glasba pač pomembnejša od genocida. Če je tako, se Evropa nenadoma ne zdi več prijazno področje za bivanje in se bo treba počasi ozirati za čim drugim.                      Obstaja pa še tretja možnost. Da je bila Evropejcem izraelska skladba, oziroma katerakoli evrovizijska, če smo že pri tem, kot glasbena kompozicija resnično všeč … Da je evropski glasbeni okus pač takšen … V tem primeru pa moramo resignirano in prizadeto ugotoviti, da smo se kolektivno ponečedili na temeljni kamen evropskega popa, ki so ga pred dobrimi šestdesetimi leti postavili John, George, Paul in Ringo.  

Send us a textBuckle up for our raw, unfiltered reaction to Eurovision 2025's second semi-final! We're diving into this year's wildest collection of musical offerings before the performances even hit the stage.Australia opens the night with what might be the most polarizing act of the competition – the infamous "Milkshake Man" who's already generating heated debates across the Eurovision community. From there, we journey through the musical extremes that make this competition so addictively watchable: Montenegro's gothic drama, Ireland's bizarre tribute to a Soviet space dog, and Malta's controversially censored "Serving" that has fans ready to rebel against the EBU's language restrictions.The standout performances of the night promise to be Czechia's sultry, Bond-worthy "Kiss Kiss Goodbye" and Austria's operatic vocal showcase that could either soar or crash depending on the live delivery. Meanwhile, Georgia brings traditional dancing elements that will have jury members reaching for their highest scores, while Finland closes the show with a provocative female empowerment anthem that could divide voters.What makes this semi-final particularly fascinating is the clash between jury bait and public favorites. Will the juries ever embrace the theatrical elements that make Eurovision unique, or will they retreat to safer, more traditional performances? And which countries will ultimately secure their spot in the grand final?Ready to join us for this Eurovision journey? Grab your scorecards, prepare your party snacks, and don't forget to hydrate!

Schon der erste ESC war auf seine Art politisch. Und es gibt seit der Gründung 1956 dutzende Beispiele für politische Aktionen oder Statements. Früher schien das noch eher möglich als heute. Weshalb ist das so? Um beim ESC aufzufallen, müsse man entweder politisch oder sexuell provozieren, sagt ESC-Historiker Dean Vuletic. Das sei schon relativ früh so gewesen. Eines der ersten politischen Statements machte die junge Bundesrepublik Deutschland beim ersten ESC 1956, indem es Walter Andreas Schwarz, einen jüdischen Holocaustüberlebenden, nach Lugano an die erste Ausgabe des Musikwettbewerbs schickte. Immer wieder sorgte der ESC - ob subtil oder direkt - für politische Kontroversen. Und das, obschon das im Reglement der European Broadcasting Union so nicht vorgesehen ist. Ganz ohne Politik gehe es eben nicht, findet Dean Vuletic. Denn das sei das, was das Publikum verlange. Woran man festmache, dass ein Auftritt politisch sei, das sei gar nicht so einfach, sagt die Musikwissenschaftlerin Saskia Jaszoltowski. Sei es eine Friedensfahne, bestimmte Daten, die man verwende in den Songtexten oder andere Merkmale. Es sei eine grosse Verantwortung, so transparent wie möglich zu entscheiden, was erlaubt sei auf der Bühne und was nicht. Die politische Dimension des ESC war und ist letztlich sehr vielschichtig. Und ganz verhindern kann die EBU die politische Komponente wohl nie, sind sich die Experten einig. Politisch ist lange auch die Organisationsstruktur: Bis 1990 ist es den ehemaligen Ostblockstaaten nicht erlaubt, am ESC teilzunehmen. Deshalb wird dort einige Zeit lang ein eigener Wettbewerb durchgeführt: Der Intervision Song Contest. Karel Gott nimmt 1968 an beiden Wettbewerben teil. Beim westeuropäischen ESC mit einem sehr politischen Lied, das von der Trennung von Ost und West handelt. ____________________ Feedback oder Fragen?

De Spaanse publieke omroep wil dat de deelname van Israël aan het Songfestival opnieuw besproken wordt. Maar die oproep werd door de organiserende EBU snel van de hand gedaan. Er wordt al over gepraat, is het antwoord. Praten over die deelname gebeurde vorig jaar ook, maar er veranderde niks. Wie bepaalt of een land, zoals Israël, mee mag en kan doen aan het Songfestival? Songfestivalverslaggever Jorn Kompeer vertelt wat de oproep van de Spanjaarden losmaakt. En weer is er ook kritiek op de inzending van Israël, die door critici wordt gezien als een politieke boodschap. En dat is uit den boze op het liedjesfestijn dat Europa moet verenigen. Met al deze kritiek riskeert de EBU "toondoof" te worden, volgens oud-EBU-bestuurder Hans Laroes. Hij zag in het verleden van dichtbij hoe de EBU omgaat met politieke moeilijkheden en weet als geen ander dat die politiek dus wel degelijk doordringt binnen de organisatie. Hoe werkt die politiek achter de schermen? Reageren? Mail dedag@nos.nl Presentatie en montage: Marco Geijtenbeek Redactie: Ulrike Nagel & Sid van der Linden
