Secret service hides Eden Golan in hotel concerns grow 2024-05-06 06:45:52
The world’s largest music competition is taking place in Sweden next weekend. But before the start of the ESC, concerns about security in the country are growing.
When Eden Golan competes for Israel at the Eurovision Song Contest in Sweden, it’s about much more than her music. Because of the war in the Gaza Strip, her participation is highly controversial; the Israeli-Russian singer has already had to change the lyrics of her song. But the 20-year-old is calm and motivated. “It’s an honor for me to represent my country,” she says.
The competition for Golan begins in the second semi-final on May 9th. The AFP news agency met her in her apartment in Tel Aviv shortly before leaving for Sweden. Golan sits on the sofa, with a PR consultant with her, and relaxedly talks about the rehearsals and the new version of her song.
Song title adjusted, lyrics changed
“Hurricane” is the name of the song with which Golan is competing at the ESC. The original version, titled “October Rain”, was deemed too political by the European Broadcasting Union, which organizes the competition, and thus a breach of ESC rules.
Many understood the text as a reference to the victims of the horrific attack on Israel by the Islamist Palestinian organization Hamas on October 7,

The Eurovision, which starts today, is overshadowed by the threat of terrorism This is how Sweden is preparing 2024-05-06 04:26:11
A Swedish terrorism expert gives precise advice to those traveling to Eurovision in Malmö.
In Malmö, Sweden, preparations for the Eurovision Song Contest are in full swing. Up to 100,000 visitors from around the world are expected in the city.
However, the happy music festival is overshadowed by the increased threat of terrorism. Sweden’s security authorities have estimated that the level of the terrorist threat to the country is at the second highest level.
– The situation in Sweden has been difficult especially since last summer. The burning of Korans caused many extremist organizations such as Isis and Al-Qaeda to urge their supporters to attack Sweden, terrorism expert Magnus Ranstorp commented to Iltalehti.

Ranstorp works as a research director at the Swedish National Defense University.
Several Swedish media previously reported that the Swedish police have granted permission for Korans to be burned during Lent. According to Ranstrop, this will arouse anger and opposition.
Security measures are very strict in Malmö and the police are heavily armed.
Breaking Boundaries: NASAs Groundbreaking Expansion of Laser Communication in Space
NASA Achieves Breakthrough in Space Communication with Laser Technology
NASA Extends Laser Communication in Space to 226 Million Kilometers
A recent experiment by NASA has successfully transmitted data over an impressive distance of 226 million kilometers in space, marking a significant advancement from previous tests covering only 31 million kilometers.
The innovative technology behind this achievement is known as Deep Space Optical Communications (DSOC), which utilizes laser technology for high-speed data transfers across vast distances. This breakthrough is poised to revolutionize existing communication systems within NASA.
Transition from Radio to Laser Communication
Traditionally, NASA has relied on radio communications for data transmission in space. However, the limited bandwidth of radio systems poses challenges in processing data effectively over long distances. The adoption of DSOC is aimed at supporting upcoming space missions and enhancing communication capabilities.
Enhanced Data Transfer Capabilities
NASA officials anticipate that the DSOC system will enable the seamless transfer of large volumes of scientific data, including high-resolution images and videos from space. This technology is a game-changer for transmitting data-intensive files across the solar system.
Benefits of Laser Communication
Laser communications, also known as optical communications, offer a significant advantage over traditional radio wave systems.
Boycott the TV broadcast from the Eurovision Song Contest Israel-critical musicians disappointed in Yle
#Boycott #broadcast #Eurovision #Song #Contest #Israelcritical #musicians #disappointed #Yle
2.8 million Finns watched the final of the Eurovision Song Contest last year. Then Käärijä fought for the victory and the interest from the television viewers was enormous.
This year there will be a change in that matter, if a group of Finnish musicians gets what they want. The group, which already in January demanded that Israel be excluded from the competition, is now calling for a boycott of the television broadcasts from the semi-finals and the final in Malmö on Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday.
The boycott call is primarily aimed at Yle. After it became clear that Israel was allowed to compete in the ESC, the musicians’ demand was that Finland with draw from the competition.
“Yle has tried to transfer the responsibility to the European Radio and Television Union EBU. The EBU’s justification for Israel’s participation nevertheless rests on shaky ground. The EBU organizes the competition and decides who can participate. The decision about Finland’s participation still belongs to Yle and it cannot be delegated to anyone else,” the musicians write in an open letter published on Sunday morning.
