Could Eins, Zwei, Drei be catchy enough, weird enough, to finally end 29 years of hurt? Or will it be the familiar chorus of "nul points"? And who exactly is the man fronting up for Britain in Vienna on Saturday? Look Mum No Computer is the stage name of Lincolnshire-born YouTuber and electro musician Sam Battle, who started making videos more than a decade ago. He's pulled in a hefty 85 million views across social media since then and has a combined 1.4 million subscribers. Not content with your standard Casio keyboard, Battle found a following through his love of vintage electro gear and putting together unusual instruments. These include an organ fashioned from dozens of Furbies (the cult 90s toy), a Star Wars Lego droid orchestra, and a synthesizer made with 48 Nintendo Game Boys. He even has his own museum in Ramsgate displaying his Frankenstein-esque creations and other "obsolete and experimental technology". Videos on YouTube show him darting between electro gear at small one-man live shows - and earlier this year he played a gig at Berlin's famed techno club Berghain. The 37-year-old is set to use his "mega synth" - to the untrained eye, a keyboard on a huge circuit board - when he belts out the track in the Austrian capital later. He told Sky News' Katie Spencer he wrote the song in about 12 hours. "I think there's just a certain Eurocentric feel that we're trying to bring into it, hence the chorus [Eins, zwei, drei, Darlin', I need something salty, Eins, zwei, drei, With a slice of pepperoni]." While it might not rival Bob Dylan's greatest prose, UK fans will be hoping the song tickles Eurovision's taste for the quirky and catchy. The Daily Telegraph called it a "synth-heavy banger that seems precision-engineered to appeal to the song contest's fan", while The Independent described it as "very, very English in a way that's both horrendously embarrassing and oddly charming".

He's pushed back against any suggestion he's just doing it for a laugh or to gain more subscribers, insisting he's taking it "very seriously" and has "always been a massive Eurovision fan". The last time the UK won the show was with Katrina And The Waves in 1997, the same year Tony Blair became prime minister, Princess Diana died, and Britain handed Hong Kong back to China. Whether it's bad songs, underwhelming performances, or even punishment over Brexit - as some have claimed - recent results have mostly been dire. The UK finished last in 2019 with Michael Rice, and the same again in 2021, when James Newman scored zero points. Mae Muller finished second last in 2023, 18th with Olly Alexander in 2024, and 19th last year when girl group Remember Monday got zero points from the public. Sam Ryder is the notable exception, whose song Space Man flirted with glory in 2022 but ended up second, the UK's best result in more than two decades. Fingers crossed for tonight then, but home fans will likely be keeping very modest expectations - some bookies have the UK at 150/1 to win.

Auditions have been taking place in the past few weeks, according to entertainment business outlet Variety, meaning fans' five-year wait for a new film could end soon. Amazon would not comment on whether auditions had started, and in a statement, said it does not "plan to comment on specific details during the casting process". The last James Bond film, No Time to Die, was released in 2021. The next film, the first since Amazon took creative control of the franchise, will be directed by Denis Villeneuve, whose credits include Dune, Blade Runner 2049 and Sicario. Amy Pascal and David Heyman will be producing via Pascal Pictures and Heyday Films, respectively, while the script is being written by Steven Knight. Amazon said the creative team behind the next film had been taking shape over the past several months. Speculation about who will star as the new 007 has been rife, with Variety reporting that famous casting director Nina Gold is leading the hunt. She has worked on Game of Thrones, The Crown, and five films in the Star Wars franchise.

Erik Fleming pleaded guilty in 2024 to conspiracy to distribute ketamine and distribution of the drug resulting in death or serious injury, after connecting Perry with drug dealer Jasveen Sangha. Prosecutors said Sangha was known as the "Ketamine Queen" because of her jet-setting lifestyle. She was jailed for 15 years last month. In legal documents, prosecutors said Fleming helped distribute 51 vials of ketamine to Perry in October 2023, including the dose that caused his death. Fleming, 56, told the judge, Sherilyn Peace Garnett, in a Los Angeles federal court on Wednesday: "It's truly a nightmare I can't wake up from. I'm haunted by the mistakes I made." Also ahead of sentencing, he submitted a letter to the court, describing how he too had struggled with addiction and saying he felt "overwhelmed with grief and shame" when he found out the actor had died. "I knew what I had done and understood how much pain his death would cause to the people who loved him," he wrote. "To Matt's family, I am very sorry for my inexcusable behaviour in this case. "I take full responsibility for my criminal acts. I hope my sentence provides some measure of justice and peace for everyone who loved Matt." Perry, 54, had struggled with substance addiction on and off for years before his death in the jacuzzi at his LA home on 28 October 2023 following an accidental drug overdose. A medical examiner's report found Perry died from the acute effects of surgical anaesthetic ketamine, with drowning as a secondary cause. In his letter, Fleming described becoming certified as a counsellor after speaking to addicts about his own recovery. He said he met the Friends star a few times and was aware of his issues, but that in October 2023 he was "in the midst of a relapse" himself and "desperate" for money. "I procured ketamine for Matthew Perry because I wanted the money and because I thought I was doing a favour for a friend," he wrote. "I never contemplated the worst possible outcome." Fleming gave up Sangha to investigators the same day they found him at his sister's house several months after Perry's death. Fleming's lawyer Robert Dugdale told the judge he "handed over the Ketamine Queen on a silver platter". "They didn't have a clue who she was before that day," Mr Dugdale said. His legal team argued for three months in federal prison and three years of supervised release. Fleming, who has been free on bail for around two years, was ordered to surrender to serve his term within 45 days.

He is the fourth of the five to be sentenced, after Sangha and doctors Salvador Plasencia and Mark Chavez. Plasencia was jailed for two-and-a-half years for illegally supplying ketamine to Perry in the weeks before his death. Chavez was sentenced to eight months home confinement after admitting selling ketamine to Plasencia. Kenneth Iwamasa, Perry's live-in assistant, is to be sentenced in May.

A majority-male jury had been weighing whether Weinstein, now 74, raped former aspiring actor Jessica Mann, now aged 40, in 2013 in a New York hotel. But in a note to Judge Curtis Farber, the jury said it could not reach a unanimous decision. Weinstein had pleaded not guilty to the charge of rape in the third degree, and he has denied all allegations of nonconsensual sex. The mistrial comes nearly a year after a different New York jury failed to reach a verdict on a charge tied to Ms Mann's allegations, which she recounted across five days in court. Weinstein's lawyers ​have argued that Ms Mann made up the rape allegation after regretting that her consensual romance with Weinstein failed to advance her film career. While Weinstein remains behind bars, the mistrial leaves the New York rape charge in limbo after three trials. Read more from Sky News:New Ebola outbreak in Congo kills 65CIA chief visits Cuba Judge Farber said outside the presence of the jury that it was clear they were "hopelessly deadlocked" and that there was no reason to keep them any longer. He told lawyers for both sides to return for a hearing in June. It was not immediately clear whether prosecutors would seek ​to try the case for a fourth time. Weinstein appeared expressionless as court officers ushered him out in his wheelchair. In a statement, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said his office would "consider our next steps in consultation with Ms Mann". "Her perseverance and bravery are inspiring to the members of my office, and more importantly, to survivors everywhere," Mr Bragg said. At his ‌first ⁠trial in New York in 2020, Weinstein was convicted of raping Ms Mann and assaulting onetime production assistant Miriam Haley in 2006. But the state's highest court overturned the conviction and Weinstein's 23-year prison sentence after concluding he did not get a fair trial. A Manhattan jury then convicted Weinstein of sexually abusing Ms Haley at a trial in June 2025, but found him ​not guilty of assaulting former ​model Kaja Sokola. The same jury were ⁠deadlocked on the third-degree rape charge relating to Ms Mann, and Justice Curtis Farber declared a mistrial on that count. That paved the way for this year's retrial. Weinstein ​was convicted of rape in California in 2022 and is serving ​a 16-year prison sentence. He is appealing that conviction and sentence. The Miramax studio co-founder will face up to 25 years in prison when he is ​sentenced for abusing Ms Haley.

It's an unlikely moment of agreement between the singers, who have famously feuded in the past. Writing on X on Wednesday, Minaj wrote on X: "The UK is truly one of a kind. They will portray her in film & TV one day…just like they did with Margaret Thatcher." Trinidad and Tobago-born rapper Minaj, best known for hits including Super Freaky Girl, Anaconda and Starships, has previously described herself as Republican president Donald Trump's "number one fan". Meanwhile, Banks who has spoken of her admiration for Ms Badenoch before, wrote on X: "Sorry i made fun of you guys in Britain, i rolled over and realized its actually no longer a laughing matter and I shouldnt be making jokes. I hope you all vote conservative and Listen to Kemi Badenoch." She went on to offer her advice on British domestic security. In a later post, Banks said of Ms Badenoch: "She is a star". Last month, the 32-year-old shared a clip of Ms Badenoch speaking in the House of Commons on X, with the message: "Kemi Badenoch is f**king iconic. World leaders will respect her Professionalism alot more than goofball Nigel [Farage]."

New York rapper Banks won wide acclaim for her single 212, but has since become better known for her Twitter outbursts and ongoing feuds with numerous celebrities, including Minaj, Zayn Malik and Lana Del Rey. Despite losses in the local elections, Ms Badenoch has insisted that the Conservatives "are coming back to get Britain working again". Meanwhile, the Labour Party is in turmoil, with Health Secretary Wes Streeting the latest minister to resign, and many predicting an imminent leadership challenge against Sir Keir Starmer.
