From Vienna to Moscow, the day’s headlines mixed spectacle, conflict and political reckoning. Bulgaria claimed its first-ever Eurovision crown as Dara’s “Bangaranga” won a tense final, narrowly beating Israel’s Noam Bettan in a contest overshadowed by protests over Israel’s participation.

In Latin America, Venezuela handed businessman Alex Saab, a close Nicolás Maduro ally, over to U.S. authorities, underscoring a broader break with the former regime.
