Евровидение 2020 отменено из-за коронавируса

Знаменитый фестиваль песни Евровидение - самое популярное ежегодное культурное событие в Европе не будет проводиться в этом году из-за коронавируса.

Сообщение, опубликованное несколько минут назад на сайте фестиваля, гласит:

С глубоким сожалением объявляем об отмене Конкурса Песни Евровидение 2020 в Роттердаме.

За последние несколько недель мы изучили множество альтернативных вариантов с тем, чтобы возможно было провести Евровидение.

Однако неопределенность, вызванная распространением COVID-19 по всей Европе - и ограничения, введенные правительствами участвующих вещателей и властями Нидерландов, - означает, что Европейский вещательный союз (EBU) принял трудное решение не проводить это мероприятие. В основе этого решения лежит здоровье артистов, сотрудников, поклонников и посетителей, а также ситуация в Нидерландах, Европе и мире.

Мы очень гордимся тем, что Конкурс Песни Евровидение объединяет множество аудитории каждый год без перерыва в течение последних 64 лет, и мы, как и миллионы вас во всем мире, крайне опечалены тем, что оно не состоится в мае.

Military parade to be held in Beijing as China and Russia reaffirm close ties

Chinese leader Xi Jinping welcomed Russian President Vladimir Putin as an “old friend” as the two began a series of meetings Tuesday at a time when their countries face both overlapping and differing challenges from the United States. Relations between China and Russia have deepened in recent years, particularly after the Russian invasion of Ukraine in early 2022. According to AP, Putin addressed Xi as “dear friend” and said that Moscow’s ties with Beijing are “at an unprecedentedly high level.” Following their formal talks, they planned to have another meeting over tea with some of their top aides. The talks come the day after both attended a summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization in the nearby Chinese city of Tianjin, and the day before a grand Chinese military parade in Beijing to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II.
