Nemo: ‘Winning Eurovision turned my life upside down’
Nemo won the Eurovision Song Contest last year for their song The Code. It was the first victory for a non-binary performer in Eurovision history. The singer says the experience “turned my life upside down, in the best way possible” Nemo was vocal in their criticism of the organisers after last year’s contest. They said they didn’t do enough to support participants who were caught up in a row over Israel’s inclusion. Eurovision responded by introducing a swathe of new rules designed to protect contestants’ welfare. There are more closed-door rehearsals, allowing participants to refine their performances away from the critical eyes of fans and the media. And, after artists like Bambie Thug accused other countries of filming them backstage without permission, the contest introduced no-filming zones backstage. The class of 25 have even set up a WhatsApp group to cheer each other on.

Milton Keynes man spends 50 years recreating Theremin spy bug
The Thing is a device that allows a person to listen to another person’s voice. The device was created in the 1950s by a group of scientists in the UK. It was designed to be used as a listening device for people in the U.S. and Europe. It is now being used to help people in need of listening equipment in the world of business. The Thing was created by a team of scientists and engineers in the 1960s. The project was inspired by the idea of a communication device that would allow people to hear each other’s voice in a way that no one else could. The technology is still being developed, but the technology is not yet ready to be released to the public. It will be available on the internet in the future, but only if the technology can be made available to people who need it.

Swedish diplomat spy suspect has died, his lawyer says
Third pair of Filipino conjoined twins prepares for life-changing surgery in Riyadh. Maricel Misa learned that her children were joined at the head in her sixth month of pregnancy. The Saudi Embassy in Manila announced this week that all the costs will be borne by the Kingdom under the Saudi Conjoined Twins Program. Maurice Ann and Klea Misa will start their treatment in Riyadh next week, when they will observe their seventh birthday. The first pair of conjoined Filipino twins, Ann and Mae, were separated by Dr. Abdullah Al-Rabeeah and his team in March 2004. They were born sharing internal organs with their siblings and are estimated to occur once in every 50,000 to 60,000 births.“I have no other wish but for them to live a normal life, to be like other children. I want them to finish their studies and achieve their dreams,” Misa said. “Even if one day we are no longer around we want to know that they can take care of themselves because they are living normal lives.”

Six Bulgarians jailed for spying for Russia
Six Bulgarians jailed for spying for Russia. Orlin Roussev, 47, was jailed for 10 years and eight months. His deputy, Biser Dzhambazov, 44, was sentenced to 10 years. Three others – Tihomir Ivanchev, 39, Ivan Stoyanov, 33, and Vanya Gaberova, 30 – were jailed for between six and eight years. The cell was paid handsomely for their services, which included spying on two journalists who had exposed nerve agent attacks on Russian dissidents Alexei Navalny and Sergei Skripal. The case against them was described as “one of the largest intelligence operations in the UK and focused on six of their assignments. They targeted investigative journalists Christo Grozev and Roman Dobrokhotov, as well as Russian dissidents, political figures and Ukrainian soldiers training at a military base in Germany. The group also frequently referred to the Russian GRU agency – its military intelligence service – in Telegram messages.

Bulgarians convicted of spying for Russia face ‘double figure sentences’
Bulgarians convicted of spying for Russia face ‘double figure sentences’ Prosecutor Alison Morgan KC told the court double figure sentences were appropriate for many of the defendants. Evidence placed before the court this week revealed new details of the spy cell’s activities as well as their controller for Russian intelligence services Jan Marsalek’s life on the run. A Telegram exchange from August 2021 shows the pair were contracted by the CIA to organise an evacuation flight from Kabul airport shortly before a suicide bombing. Further messages, which were not included in evidence during an earlier trial of Ivanova, Ivanchev and Gaberova, revealMarsalek and Roussev plotted to trade weapons for diamonds. “These guys want to spend around 60 million on guns and light infantry vehicles and pay with diamonds,” Roussev wrote.
