Switzerland's Nemo wins the Eurovision Song Contest, the first artist identifying as non-binary to do so, in a contest marked by controversy over Israel's participation during the war in Gaza. Twenty-four-year-old Nemo's "The Code" won the highest score from nations' juries, and enough of the popular votes to get 591 points, edging out Croatia in the final, held in Sweden's Malmo. IMAGES

The war in Gaza looms over the Eurovision Song Contest, with demonstrators again taking to the streets of the host city, Malmo, in Sweden, to protest against Israel's participation in today's event. Israel ranks with Croatia and Switzerland as one of the bookmakers' favourites to succeed Sweden and take home the colourful and kitschy competition watched by more than a hundred million people.
