00:01The UK's former health secretary, West Streeting, announced that he will run to replace Keir Starmer as Labour leader and
00:07Prime Minister.
00:09Streeting labelled the UK's decision to leave the European Union as a, quote, catastrophic mistake and said it should look
00:15to rejoin.
00:17Starmer is facing growing pressure to step down, particularly after the Labour Party suffered heavy losses in local elections last
00:24week.
00:25If you think you're good enough to be the top draw, if you think you've got the right ideas for
00:29the country, you should be prepared to put them forward, test them against other competitors and win an election.
00:37The UK voted to leave the bloc in 2016 following a divisive referendum campaign led by former Conservative Prime Minister
00:44Boris Johnson, alongside support from current reform leader Nigel Farage.
00:48The decision has been back under the spotlight in recent months as the UK has looked to move closer to
00:54Europe amid uncertainty with its relationship with US President Donald Trump.
01:03A huge police presence was deployed in London on Saturday in one of its largest operations in recent years to
01:10handle two opposing rallies as well as the FA Cup final.
01:14Tens of thousands attended a rally organized by far-right activist Tommy Robinson, while another several thousand protesters held an
01:22annual demonstration to commemorate the Nakba,
01:24which marks the expulsion of some 700,000 Palestinians during the creation of Israel in 1948.
01:31Armored vehicles, police horses, dogs, drones and helicopters were deployed along with at least 4,000 officers as the Metropolitan
01:39Police aimed to avoid clashes.
01:43As of early afternoon, police said several people were arrested without specifying from which protest.
01:49Meanwhile, police warned the FA Cup final between Chelsea and Manchester City, which kicked off on Saturday, could strain the
01:56policing operation.
01:57They voiced fears about football hooligan groups, which have previously supported Robinson showing up.
02:03The marches took place at a particularly radicalized time in British politics, with parties on the far right and left
02:10advancing across the UK in elections last week.
02:18Bulgaria has won the 70th Eurovision Song Contest with Dara's party anthem, Bangaranga.
02:25Dara is well known in the modern Balkan music scene and is also a mentor on The Voice Bulgaria.
02:31Despite not being among the favorites to win the song's infectious beats and tightly choreographed dance routine,
02:38were a massive hit with both viewers and national juries.
02:42I'm still in shock. I don't know what's going on.
02:46For real, because nobody believed that we, you know, nobody believed that we can win and that Bangaranga can win.
02:54We have the Balkans united tonight, and this is so good.
03:01While Dara spoke of unity for many, this year's Eurovision will go down as one of the most divisive additions.
03:08Many pre-show demonstrations took place around the venue and across Vienna over Israel's participation in the competition.
03:15Until the final public vote was announced, it appeared as if Israel's Noam Batan was set to win the contest.
03:21He ended up placing second in the competition.
03:29Hungary's new Prime Minister Peter Magyar gave a tour of the historic Carmelite Monastery,
03:34the former government's headquarters, which is open this weekend to visitors.
03:39The purpose of the special guided tours is to show the luxurious circumstances under which the previous government made decisions.
03:47Visitors can view the inner courtyard of the former monastery, the opulent library,
03:52and the paintings on loan from museums hanging on the walls of the corridors.
03:57They can also step out onto the terrace and view former Prime Minister Viktor Orban's office.
04:03Inside is Orban's iron bed with a Bible on it as well as a document shredder.
04:08In Antal Rogan's former ministry, the Prime Minister's office,
04:12visitors are greeted by a monumental auditorium with a living green wall.
04:16But you can also see the cigar room and the rooftop terrace with panoramic views.
04:32This ministry was built during the COVID pandemic, at the height of the lockdown
04:36and in the midst of an economic crisis at a cost of nearly 300,000 euros.
04:42According to the new government's plans, the buildings will be open to the public every weekend for the foreseeable future.
04:48This Culture is an O. cincre.
04:51This is Mayful tapi Toilwell.
