  Eurovision is 'facing its most serious crisis ever' as more countries consider joining Ireland, Spain, Netherlands and Slovenia in boycotting the event Imogen Garfinkel 07:44 GMT 05 Dec 2025 , updated  16:01 GMT 05 Dec 2025 Eurovision  is facing its most serious crisis in the history of the contest, experts have warned, as more countries consider joining Ireland,  Spain ,  Netherlands  and Slovenia in boycotting the event. It comes after several public broadcasters on Thursday pulled out of next year's competition after organisers decided to allow  Israel  to compete, putting political discord on centre stage over a usually joyful celebration of music. Belgium's broadcaster said it would 'take a position in the coming days', while Iceland's RÚV said it would not make a final decision on its participation until next week. The walkouts came after the general assembly of the European Broadcasting Union - a group of public broadcasters from 56 ...

  LegCo: Hong Kong votes in election as city mourns deadly fire Tessa Wong Getty Images Hongkongers are mourning the worst blaze the city has seen in more than 70 years Hongkongers are voting in an election seen as a test of public sentiment following a deadly fire that angered some in the city. The government has mounted a huge campaign to encourage Hongkongers to choose members of the Legislative Council (LegCo). All of the candidates have been vetted to ensure they are loyal to China. The election takes place as many are mourning the Tai Po fire last month which killed nearly 160 people. In recent days, authorities have distributed aid to survivors, arrested suspects and sought to improve building safety, as some Hongkongers raise questions about the incident. A total of 161 candidates are competing for 90 seats in the LegCo, which acts as a mini parliament and can make and amend laws. The election is the second since 2021 when China made sweeping changes to Hong Kong's electora...

  🚨 50 CENT EST L’ANTAGONISTE ULTIME ! Il a choisi de donner une interview à ABC car c'est l'une des seules chaînes que les détenus sont autorisés à regarder en prison 💀 pic.twitter.com/hctZScRrB3 — FRENCHRAPUS 🇺🇸 (@FrenchRapUS) December 7, 2025 The tweet highlights that 50 Cent gave an interview to ABC News for his upcoming documentary series “Sean Combs: The Reckoning,” directly targeting Diddy. The punchline is that ABC is one of the very few channels inmates can watch in federal prison — meaning Diddy (currently locked up awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges since September 2024) will almost certainly see 50 Cent roasting him on national TV. It’s peak 50 Cent trolling: he’s been beefing with Diddy for over 20 years, and now he’s using Diddy’s legal downfall to promote his own project while making sure the victim can’t escape the smoke. The post got strong engagement (11.5K likes, 213K views in a short time), especially resonant in the French rap community that fo...

  LANDO NORRIS IS THE 2025 FORMULA 1 WORLD CHAMPION!!!! 🏆 #F1 #AbuDhabiGP pic.twitter.com/Rg4cc4OwlU — Formula 1 (@F1) December 7, 2025   The official @F1 account posted a celebratory graphic announcing Lando Norris as the 2025 Formula 1 World Champion after finishing 3rd in the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Norris entered the weekend 12 points ahead of Max Verstappen. Even though Verstappen won the race, Norris secured the title with a final score of 423–421, the closest championship fight in F1 history. McLaren also wrapped up the Constructors’ Championship earlier in the season, marking their first drivers’ title since 2008 (Hamilton) and completing a dominant year for the team. Reactions in the replies are very mixed: many fans are celebrating Norris and calling him the “people’s champion,” while others are criticizing the title as “gifted” (referring to team orders and races where Piastri let Norris through) and labeling it one of the “weakest” or “least deserving” champion...

  IShowSpeed was visibly upset after losing Best Streamed Marathon to Kai Cenat 😳 pic.twitter.com/2lT8IlJbhf — Pioneer𓇻 (@Pioneerszn) December 7, 2025 The tweet shares a clip claiming that IShowSpeed looked visibly upset at the 2025 Streamer Awards after losing the “Best Marathon Stream” category to Kai Cenat’s Mafiathon 3, even though Speed won both “Streamer of the Year” and “Best IRL Streamer” on the same night. The debate centers on Speed’s months-long “America Tour” marathon (traveling across the U.S. and streaming 24/7 for weeks) versus Kai Cenat’s Mafiathon 3 (a month-long subathon with celebrity guests). Many fans argue Speed’s solo effort was far more impressive and deserved the win. Reactions are split: A large portion of the replies call the vote “rigged” or unfair. Others say Speed wasn’t actually that upset and the clip is being used as clickbait. The video shows the moment the winner is announced, but Speed’s expression is ambiguous—some see disappointment, others...
