00:00Oh the Eurovision. One would say it's a celebration of music that unites the

00:07whole Europe and for some reason Australia too. But your daily reporter

00:13has a different take. To him it's all about the game of bingo that you play

00:17every May with your loved ones. And us at Euronews we are one big family so why

00:25don't we cast some bets? This year's Eurovision is facing a historic meltdown

00:34with some countries threatening to boycott the party. Why you ask? You see

00:40there are two reasons. Allegations of Israel topping last year public vote is

00:46one. And there is also war in Gaza which Spain argues crosses a red line. So here

00:54is the grid. If Israel is not excluded, Spain, Slovenia, Ireland and the

01:00Netherlands are out. But if Israel is excluded, reports say Germany and

01:07Austria would be out then. And as for our friends from Australia, they haven't

01:13commented on that yet. And I mean the country down under, not the house

01:17country. Sounds a bit complex, doesn't it? The voting happens today and tomorrow in

01:26Geneva where Eurovision bosses will decide the new rules to solve the crisis. So go

01:33on, take your bingo cards and guess who will be singing this year.
