Have been taking place in rotterdams ahoy concert hall. That venue is now an emergency hospital. But all the contestants did get a chance to say hi, and play a bit of each song. Baby, i cant wait to know what do you think about me. Normally, the message of the satellite linkups is how much everybody likes the show. This time it was stay safe. The main thing is just to worry about Peoples Health and, once they get that under control, then people will always need music. Stay home a little longer and stay safe because youre doing this for you and for everyone. Smile and stay healthy. My, my, at waterloo napoleon did surrender. But earlier in the evening, there was a chance to vote in the united kingdom. The bbcs poll of the greatest eurovision song of all time was won, unsurprisingly, by abba and waterloo. And bjorn from abba also had a message for the eurovision audience. Everybody knows why there could not be the usual eurovision final this year, but we hope this show will comfort you in some small way, knowing that it will be back next year. Love, shine a light in every cornerof my dream. So, not eurovision, but at least there was a reminder of a time when the uk last won. The big finale of the evening, a rendition of katrina and the waves love shine a light from 1997. Let our love shine a light in every corner of my dreams. David sillito, bbc news. Hello. This is bbc news with tim willcox. The headlines.

Raheem sterling says that players need more time to prepare for the return of the premier league. June 12th is the current target of project restart but the Manchester City and England Forward says that the players will need at least a month of full training before returning to action and thats unlikely to be much before the end of the month. The newcastle manager steve bruce has also questioned the timetable for the leagues resumption. Sterling was speaking to the usa womens captain meghan rapeno on his youtube channel. You need a full four or five weeks. You need the preparation time. You wanted to win, you wanted to count for something, so you do need that preparation. The German Bundesliga continues behind closed doors. The leaders Bayern Munichs are winning at union berlin with 20 minutes left to play. These were the scenes at the stadium before the match everyone observing all the strict guidelines. Bayern players rushed into the ground on their coach. Its over five weeks since bayern players returned to the first phase of training so it makes the Prmier League target ofjune 12th seem very ambitious. That is the latest, 1 0, robert lewandowski, a penalty just that is the latest, 1 0, robert lewandowski, a penaltyjust before half time gives them the lead. They would return to four points clear at the top of Borussia Dortmund who won yesterday. Earlier mainz came back from 2 0 down to draw 2 2 at cologne. The la liga president javier tebas is targetting a 12th ofjune restart behind closed doors for spains top division. These are barcelonas changing rooms at their Training Ground getting a deep clean. La liga started testing players last week. The uefa president Alexander Ceferin says that the european season will be able to finish in august and that includes the europa and Champions League. The french and dutch leagues have been scrapped but ceferin says they have a concrete plan for the majority of leagues finishing the season with the Champions League final at the end of august. Top Division European clubs are set to lose £3. 5 billion pounds even if they do finish the season. The figure, for this season and next, was outlined in a meeting of stakeholders within the game last week. If seasons arent fully completed the figure could rise to over £6 billion its estimated that Manchester United alone could lose £140 million if matches are played behind closed doors until the end of next season. And finally, after the top male pole vaulters had a go a fortnight ago, this weekend was the turn of the women in the ultimate garden clash. Three athletes in different parts of the world competed against each other. Olympic champion Katerina Stefanidi was the winner after 3a successful vaults over a four metre bar within a half hour time limit. She says she wants to take on the leading men in a few weeks time. She said her arms were killing her at the end of that, so well done. Thats all the sport for now, and 110w thats all the sport for now, and now on bbc news, its time for click. Hello you, and hello, lara, how are you doing . Hello. Im good, thank you, and you seem to have cut your hair. Yes, the haircut has finally happened, and i have to say, the relationship survived. There was no blood and to be honest, i think she has done a pretty good job, dont you . It is looking good, but has the colour changed a bit . Yes, i am trying a new artificial silver colour, shall we say dont worry, i will be returning to my natural colour of suspiciously brown as soon as i can get back to a proper hairdresser. You have had a good week, you had a lockdown birthday. Thats right, it was very nice but i dont think the years need to count in lockdown. In your house, though, there has been an important birthday. I had the terrifying task of hosting a 10th birthday for my son and seven of his friends on video chat. And its notjust children who are missing events. We all are. And music has been a real casualty of this so much has been cancelled, Music Festivals are off, the venues are closed, and its hard to imagine when wed next be going to a concert. True, but musicians are not giving up so easily. This is not your typical gig venue. But earlier this month, more than 700,000 people logged in live to watch helsinkis annual may day concert performed in this virtual arena complete with digital fireworks. Fans far away as the usa and germany jammed online with finnish rappers jvg. Now, virtual gigs arent new. Last year 10 Million People watched dj marshmello headline the first concert held inside the game fortnite. Then in stomped rapper travis scott to smash that record in april when 12. 3 million players logged in to watch his astronomical event live. Now i assumed that despite the huge audience figures, this just wouldnt appeal to the more traditional musicians, who thrive from playing to a live audience. I mean, world famous jazz genius jamie cullum would think this was an absolute travesty right . I love this idea. I am a big computer game fan, so in recent years as Computer Games have got more advanced, i am not an Online Player so much but i love the big open world games like grand theft auto, the last of us, Red Dead Redemption they really thought very hard about their soundtracks. Ive actually discovered music through the radio stations as you drive around in a stolen car in grand theft auto. I would be first in line if they had opened up a jazz club in grand theft auto and i could play in it or any type of concert. So all bets are off, it seems, and anything is possible. While i have been at the jazz clubs, minecraft gamers have taken it upon themselves to create their own massive gigs from their bedroom. 0pen pit started in may 2018 when producer dj friend max schramp decided to throw his 21st birthday in minecraft. It went better than anyone expected. Since then hundreds of thousands of fans attended their festivals to see massive music stars like 100 gecs and charli xcx. Its the only game that really allows us to do what we do. We have no affiliation to microsoft or minecraft and we can still run our events completely independently. And musicians have started to build their own arenas too. As a tribute to the cancelled Music Festival south by southwest, indie band courier club have launched block by blockwest. If you are a small artist in a small musical niche, its going to be really hard for you to pack a club out and tour the world, or rather, even tour your nation. But if you can book a show on a virtual platform and bring everyone that is spread out in your community together, you can put on a full show, and you could monetise it and the money can go directly to the artist, rather than kind of circumventing through third parties. The idea is that it breaks down financial barriers, it breaks down geographical barriers and it kind of disrupts the whole festival circuit. And for artists like pussy riot, breaking down political barriers is just as important as breaking financial ones. To me it opens up the possibility to play for a russian audience, like i really wish i could play physically, but even when it was not coronavirus, pussy riot are still enemies of the state so sometimes when we just leave the house, cops are arresting us forjust bleep leaving the house. Im originally from a small provincial town, and western musicians never come to these cities, it doesnt matter if it is coronavirus not coronavirus time. So it doesnt matter where you are, you can have access to this concert, thats awesome. So i think that is the future, to just cut all the people in the middle who take the money, basically, while producing nothing. And so to the question of money. In these extraordinary times, many artists are giving their performances away for free, or like during twitch streamaid, to encourage donations for health workers. But if artists are already making less money from their music sales, can they really afford to give away their Live Performances for nothing . You have got what erykah badu is doing, who is charging for hers and making it like a full production. And her argument is even though im not about to go bankrupt, i have a big crew of people and by bringing them together and making some money out of this we can keep things going. She has done some incredibly experimental stuff. Of course there is no substitute for a real gig, but i think it is wonderful for artists to stay connected to the people who love their music. And just as physical venues split concerts fees with the artist, virtual venues are exploring the same idea. Over the course of the last few years we have seen a quadrupling in the amount of non gaming content on twitch. I do think that one of our sustainable strengths over time which ensures that musicians have a high likelihood of broadcasting on twitch after social distancing ends is that they will see this is an entirely new revenue stream. Even if artists can make money from online performances, you have to admit the atmosphere of an actual Live Performance is pretty unique. I asked chart topping artist andrewjohn hozier byrne, better known as hozier, about gigging online. It is just that hard feeling of knowing that there could be hundreds of thousands of people looking at you at the moment and you are in stark silence. That is very odd. Once the messages start coming in there is a sense of 0k, there is a community there, and that is a very, very good feeling. I am reading your messages, guys, thank you so much. I was quite surprised i have to say how fulfilling that was, having interacted in real time with people which, to be fair, is not something you can do in a gig. Take me to church. Ill worship like a dog. At the shrine of your light. Audio glitching. One of the biggest culprits of bad quality video on a Conference Call is poor wi fi signal. Maybe you are sitting too far away from the router with solid walls between you and it, or perhaps other people in your household are hammering the Wi Fi Network with streaming videos and games. We also host diplomats and other foreign leaders when they visit. Or it could be that the channel your wi fi is being carried on by your router is just too crowded with other routers. This wifi analyzer app for android will reveal what is going on around you. There are a range of channels available and most routers default to the same few. That is why you see everybody crowded around down here. But see this . Thats me out of my own, a bandwidth hog of the ninth order. So how did i get that vip channel just for me . Well, its not that hard. But dont tell everyone, 0k . You need to open your routers admin tools, which can be accessed by entering the default gateway ip in the address bar of any browser on a device connected to the router. Your ip address may well be the same as mine, so give that a try. If not, open your network and internet settings, then view your Network Properties to find the default address. You will need the admin password, which if you have never accessed this part of your router before, should be in the paperwork that came with it. In the wireless settings, if 5 gigahertz is available make sure that it enabled. To change your wi fi channel you might need to take it off auto settings, then just use a different channel and see if it improves the signal. One final quality tip to get you going set your camera at eye level and make sure the strongest light source is in front of and not behind you. Now we have been looking at some of the entertainment that has had to be cancelled and this weekend. I have been looking looking forward to the Eurovision Song Contest, but what has happened is the ai Eurovision Song Contest that we talked about a few weeks ago. And something ifound rather amusing was that britains entry was called rentree. Would you believe, i picked the winner . My favourite was australias uncanny valley and it was the favourite with the public too. I think it was the totally bonkers lyrics that won it. Maybe and, wow, clearly you are very talented at predicting the desirability of poppy, ai generated, cheesy pop. Well done. Yes, its my main superpower. Listen, thats it for this week. You can find the teams on social media. Thank you for watching and we will see you soon. Bye bye. The government seeks to assure parents and teachers about plans to get some pupils back into schools in england in a fortnight. While the risk of infection cannot be eliminated, ministers say they are confident about a phased reopening. It is the case that it is extremely unlikely that any school is likely to be the source of a covid outbreak, and if, for any reason, there are risks, then we can take steps to mitigate them. Amid the warmer weather, how some parts of the uk are coping with more visitors and the challenge of social distancing. The councils asking for Emergency Support and saying Vital Services are at risk because of a funding crisis. And amid warnings about the pandemic and our mental health,
