00:16The classically trained singer took home the iconic glass trophy with the pop opera song Wasted Love.
00:22Israel's Yuval Raphael came in second and Estonia's Tommy Cash took a close third place.

00:42Pro-Palestinian and pro-Israel protests both took place in Basel, though on a much smaller scale than at last year's event in Sweden.

01:04Love is the strongest source in the world. Let's spread more love.
