Der Laber-Podcast zum Eurovision Song Contest

NATO-Chef Mark Rutte warnt, dass es der russische Präsident Putin nicht bei dem Angriffskrieg gegen die Ukraine belassen wolle/ Trump über die seiner Meinung nach zu bescheidene Zinssenkung offen enttäuscht/ nach Leck in Pipeline in Brandenburg sind geschätzte 200.000 Liter Erdöl in die Umwelt gelangt/ Nemo, Schweizer Gewinner des Eurovision Song Contest 2024, gibt aus Protest gegen die Teilnahme Israels beim nächsten Wettbewerb seine Siegertrophäe zurück

Nemo will den ESC-Pokal nicht mehr haben: Der Pokal, mit dem Nemo mit «The Code» den ESC 2024 gewonnen und in die Schweiz gebracht hat, soll zurück an den Absender. Mittlerweile boykottiert mit Island das fünfte Land den ESC in Wien. Die Gründe sind die gleichen: Aus Protest gegen Israel. Was bedeutet das für die Austragung des ESC im kommenden Mai in Wien? Und wie kommt die Kritik in Israel an? Das schauen wir uns an in dieser Folge. ____________________ Habt Ihr Fragen oder Themen-Inputs?

Ce soir, 12 points lance un format inédit : “Le Téléphone Sonne”. Micro tendu aux auditeurs, place au Club 12 points pour un épisode spécial où la fanosphère vient déposer, sans filtre, ses émotions et ses contradictions face à une actualité Eurovision devenue brûlante.Entre annonces de retraits, menaces de boycott, candidats qui refusent d'aller au concours, et même le geste symbolique de Nemo qui renverrait son trophée à l'UER, Thomas et Vincent tentent de garder le cap… tout en laissant éclater leur propre colère. Dans une ambiance à la fois tendue, drôle et profondément humaine, les appels s'enchaînent : Damien (Bretagne) partage sa déception et son refus d'une Eurovision “toxique”, Noé (Haute-Marne) hésite à partir à Vienne et questionne l'impact du vote, Mathieu (Rennes) évoque une Eurovision “United by Money”, Vince (Tokyo) appelle à la nuance et à la lucidité, David (Val-de-Marne) livre un témoignage bouleversant mêlant deuil et passion, puis plusieurs messages vocaux — dont un texte magistral, incisif et poétique — réclament transparence, réforme… et démission.Au cœur de l'épisode : une question qui hante tout le monde — faut-il boycotter, continuer, voter “barrage”, ou tenir encore une dernière chance ? Et, en toile de fond, l'ombre d'un anniversaire symbolique : les 70 ans du concours, que beaucoup regardent déjà comme une fête “gâchée”.Un épisode-choc, à la fois cathartique et fédérateur, où l'on rit (beaucoup), où l'on grince (souvent), et où l'on comprend surtout une chose : l'Eurovision n'est plus seulement un show… c'est devenu un dilemme.

It breathes life into characters that will hopefully inspire people…When you can put yourself in the shoes of what these people went through, that's what creates empathy. That's very important ... right now in this country, regardless of your politics."For those who don't know, we went to Israel after the October 7 massacres, and interviewed people who survived the attacks, were bereaved or fought back and saved lives. OCTOBER 7 ran for six weeks off-broadway, then we toured the play at America's elite colleges and universities from Princeton to UCLA, which had become hubs of intimidation and anti-semitism. Legal legend Alan Dershowitz came on the show to talk about the impact this play had on him as well as the impact it still has in today's toxic environment of festering anti-semitism. Watch the episode to hear about the play that didn't end after the curtain went down. And speaking of Israel, Ireland's elites keep taking the country further and further down the anti-Semitic cess pit. During our interview Alan also reveals his unexpected Irish connection.Watch this week's show for a shocking display of anti-semitic conspiracy mongering. You won't believe what comes out of the mouths of these Irish elected representatives.And now they are after the Eurovision Song Contest!!And we look at how the pushback on trans madness continues in the UK. A nurse there has won a mostly victory after being forced to share a changing room with a male doctor.And we bring a sad story about people whose lives and mental health are being ruined by Trump Derangement Syndrome. One doctor breaks down how it is destroying lives.And should we embrace self-driving cars? According to Ann we should. Stay tuned to hear her prediction for the future of driving. Will any of us be driving in the future?And it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, which means it's time to trim your Christmas tree. What better way to do it than with friends, over a plate of warm mince pies? What are mince pies? I hear you saying. Well, watch this week to get the recipe from Ann and find out why they're called mince pies even though there is no meat in them.And our coverage of Israel and world events continues beyond our weekly scoop.

Die Auslosung der Fußball-WM 2026 haben Jiffer Bourguignon und Ingo Zamperoni live im Fernsehen verfolgt. „Das wirkte wie ein Eurovision Song Contest – eine Mischung aus Show, Unterhaltung und Werbemesse“, beschreibt sie die extravagante Zeremonie im Kennedy Center in Washington. Dass US-Präsident Trump den neu geschaffenen FIFA-Friedenspreis erhalten hat, fand Jiffer peinlich für jemanden, der die Nationalgarde auf US-Bürger ansetzt und sie zu Staatsfeinden erklärt. Außerdem sprechen die beiden über die neue Sicherheitsstrategie der USA. Der Kurswechsel sei zwar nicht überraschend, aber so ausformuliert dann doch schockierend, denn das Papier liest sich wie ein Frontalangriff auf Europa, sagt Ingo, denn die US-Regierung wolle Widerstand gegen Regierungen in EU-Staaten nun sogar kultivieren, man wolle sich einmischen. „Das ist nicht nur übergriffig, sondern eine Kampfansage.“ Im Prinzip habe die Trump-Regierung es jetzt noch einmal schriftlich abgegeben, dass Europa künftig militärisch und strategisch nicht mit den USA rechnen könne. Ingo sieht in der neuen Strategie den bislang deutlichsten Weckruf für Europa. „Andererseits, ganz überspitzt gesagt, könnte man Trump für diese Klarheit fast dankbar sein, weil er uns zu echten Entscheidungen zwingt.“ Für Jiffer ist die neue Strategie der Gipfel der „America First“-Politik von Trump. Am Ende gehe es Trump um knallharte wirtschaftliche Interessen: „Nicht nur America first, sondern Amerika allein. Das ist ein neuer, einsamer Kurs, weit weg von früherem Goodwill.“ Wir wollen Eure Fragen für die Sonderfolge zum Jahresende im Podcast beantworten.

Last week, on Thursday 4 December, EBU members met for the organisation's scheduled General Assembly.At this meeting, Spanish broadcaster RTVE, along with seven other countries, called for a secret ballot on Israel's participation, passing the threshold of five members required for the vote to take place.However, the EBU chose to tie this vote to its proposed new rules for the contest, creating a false dichotomy: accept the new rules with no vote on participation, or reject the rules and carry out a vote on participation. This put broadcasters in an unfairly difficult position, as they could only hold a vote on Israel if they had already rejected the new rules, and they had no guarantee a motion on Israel's removal would pass, meaning a very real risk that they could reject the new rules and Israel stay in the contest, meaning that we'd be doomed to repeat the exact same scenario in 2026 as we've faced in the last two years.As a result, the new rules were approved and an Israeli delegation will be going to Vienna in 2026.It has since become apparent that this result was inevitable, as Roland Weißman, director-general of Austrian broadcaster ORF, went to Israel to assure president Isaac Herzog that he would do everything he could to keep Israel in the contest.And according to Israeli online newspaper Ynet, there was a months-long lobbying campaign carried out behind the scenes involving Herzog and many government advisors to secure Israel's continued presence in the contest - the contest that we keep being told is staunchly apolitical.The team here at Douze Points are saddened and disappointed by the EBU's handling of Israel's participation, and we believe their actions have brought the contest into disrepute.The EBU has acted in bad faith throughout: refusing to take action after Israel's manipulation of the televote in 2024, and then when it happened again in 2025, continuing to insist that the result was valid and legitimate.When finally forced into taking action by their members' protests, they promised a vote on Israel's participation in November of this year, only to cancel it and retable it for the General Assembly a month later, then disingenuously framing the vote in such a way as to stifle discussion.I have said before that I do not believe the proposed rule changes go far enough to prevent further attempts to manipulate the televote, nor do they hold Israel to account in any way for their attempts to fraudulently engineer a win in the last two contests. The original intent of the Eurovision Song Contest was the promotion of harmony and unity across a recently war-torn continent, celebrating the human desire to stand together and create music together even in our darkest moments.Unfortunately, the contest is now choosing to protect the interests of a country that is engaging in genocide: instead of championing the best aspects of humanity, it is encouraging the worst. By turning a blind eye to the horrific war crimes being carried out by Israel, the contest is complicit. But we don't have to be.Following the meeting, the Netherlands, Spain, Ireland and Slovenia all followed through on their promise to boycott the 2026 contest if Israel was participating.We stand with them.And that means, following this episode, Douze Points is taking an indefinite hiatus.Unless the EBU changes course, there will be no more episodes from us, because we simply cannot cover the contest the way we would like to without being morally compromised.Ultimately this was an easy decision to make, but it's also been a hard decision: this is not the ending I envisaged for this podcast, and I wish it didn't have to happen like this. I've loved creating this podcast, researching the history of the show, getting guests on who love the contest as much as I do to share their thoughts, reactions and...

The Eurovision Song Contest has been thrown into turmoil after four nations said they would boycott next year's event. Ireland, Spain, the Netherlands and Slovenia had wanted Israel to be excluded because of the war in Gaza, but a meeting of the European Broadcasting Union said it could take part.

The US military says it conducted another deadly strike on a boat suspected of carrying illegal narcotics as questions mount over the legality of previous attacks.

Jack Horgan-Jones and Harry McGee join Hugh Linehan to look back on the week in politics:· Ireland, along with Spain, Slovenia and the Netherlands, will boycott next year's Eurovision Song Contest in protest of Israel's participation. RTÉ said in a statement on Thursday that it would be “unconscionable” for Ireland to partake in the event given the “appalling loss of lives in Gaza and the humanitarian crisis there”.· Far more contentious was the proposal to rename Rathgar's Herzog Park in south Dublin. Named in honour of Belfast-born Chaim Herzog, Israel's president from 1983 to 1993, who spent his early childhood in Dublin. Perhaps including the Irish-Jewish community in the process might have dampened a lot of the controversy that has erupted this week.· Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskiy was in Ireland this week, but it was drones more than diplomatic ties that made the headlines. It exposed the gaps in our national security, especially with Ireland holding the Presidency of the Council of the European Union from next July, when a lot of state leaders will be visiting these shores.· And will the Government's new infrastructure plan to accelerate the delivery of vital projects bear fruit before the next general election? Plus, the panel picks their favourite Irish Times pieces of the week:· Patrick Freyne's continuing vendetta against Kevin the Carrot, a row over state pensions could destabilise Germany's new coalition, and the sudden death of ‘low-key national treasure' Hugh Wallace.
