00:01A drone strike sparked a fire on the perimeter of the UAE's Baraka nuclear power plant.
00:11A massive Ukrainian drone attack killed at least three people in the Moscow area overnight, Russian authorities reported.
00:20The UK's former health secretary, West Streeting, announced that he will run to replace Keir Starmer and called for the
00:26UK to rejoin the EU.
00:30Bulgaria has won the 70th Eurovision Song Contest with Dara's party anthem, Bangaranga.
00:35Israel finished second amid boycotts over its participation.
00:41A drone strike sparked a fire on the perimeter of the UAE's Baraka nuclear power plant on Sunday,
00:47further straining an already fragile ceasefire linked to the Iran conflict.
00:52The Abu Dhabi media office said an electrical generator caught fire outside the main facility.
00:56The statement added there was no radiation leak or injuries reported and confirmed the plant continued operating normally.
01:04The International Atomic Energy Agency added that one reactor briefly relied on emergency diesel generators.
01:11No group immediately claimed responsibility and the UAE did not publicly blame anyone.
01:16However, tensions with Iran have escalated sharply in recent weeks following repeated drone and missile attacks linked to the wider
01:23regional conflict.
01:24The incident comes as ceasefire talks between Iran and the United States remain stalled, raising fears the conflict could reignite.
01:35A massive Ukrainian drone attack killed at least three people in the Moscow area overnight, Russian authorities reported.
01:43The attack marks one of the largest and most widespread drone attacks since Russia's full scale invasion of Ukraine.
01:51The Russian Ministry of Defense said local air defenses intercepted 556 Ukrainian drones across the country from Saturday night into
02:00early Sunday morning.
02:01Another 30 were shot down later on Sunday.
02:06In a post on ex-Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said long-range weapons were used to reach Moscow.
02:13He also praised Ukraine's ability to penetrate Russian air defense systems in the area, which he described as among the
02:19strongest.
02:22Ukraine's attack follows a Russian missile and drone barrage earlier this week that killed at least 52 people across Ukraine,
02:29including 24 in Kyiv.
02:35The UK's former Health Secretary West Streeting announced that he will run to replace Keir Starmer as Labour leader and
02:41Prime Minister.
02:42Streeting labeled the UK's decision to leave the European Union as a, quote, catastrophic mistake and said it should look
02:49to rejoin.
02:51Starmer is facing growing pressure to step down, particularly after the Labour Party suffered heavy losses in local elections last
02:58week.
02:59If you think you're good enough to be the top draw, if you think you've got the right ideas for
03:03the country,
03:04you should be prepared to put them forward, test them against other competitors and win an election.
03:10The UK voted to leave the bloc in 2016 following a divisive referendum campaign led by former Conservative Prime Minister
03:18Boris Johnson,
03:19alongside support from current reform leader Nigel Farage.
03:23The decision has been back under the spotlight in recent months as the UK has looked to move closer to
03:28Europe amid uncertainty with its relationship with US President Donald Trump.
03:37Bulgaria has won the 70th Eurovision Song Contest with Dara's party anthem Bangaranga.
03:44Dara is well known in the modern Balkan music scene and is also a mentor on The Voice Bulgaria.
03:50Despite not being among the favourites to win the song's infectious beats and tightly choreographed dance routine,
03:57were a massive hit with both viewers and national juries.
04:01I'm still in shock, I don't know what's going on. For real, because nobody believes that we can win and
04:12that Bangaranga can win.
04:13We have the Balkans united tonight and this is so good.
04:20While Dara spoke of unity for many, this year's Eurovision will go down as one of the most divisive additions.
04:27Many pre-show demonstrations took place around the venue and across Vienna over Israel's participation in the competition.
04:34Until the final public vote was announced, it appeared as if Israel's Noam Batten was set to win the contest.
04:40He ended up placing second in the competition.
