What’s another yeeaarrr.
Citing unnamed sources, the main news programme of KAN — Israel’s state broadcaster — has said that the contest will be cancelled and that the decision is likely to be revealed on Wednesday.
KAN’s culture correspondent Shani Nahshoni reports that “out of the options to postpone or cancel, it appears the contest will be cancelled this year.” She adds that the EBU will make the announcement official “probably” today.
We should point out that this has not been confirmed officially.
More as we get it.
Pray for Fluffybiscuits.

The snow must go on.
Portaferry, County Down native Ryan McMullan (top) braves the freezing winter for his latest video, which is the second single from his forthcoming Ruthless Cupid EP, due next month.
A slow-building power ballad, this is one for the Ed Sheeran fans among you.
Nick says: Ryan versus Jack Frost.

People Before Profit Dublin City Councillor Tina MacVeigh writes:
Information about rents for Dublin City Council tenants.
Folks, I have been on to the Dublin City Council Housing Manager to find out what is being done for tenants who have lost their income due to the coronavirus.
Please DO NOT STRESS if you cannot pay your rent.
“ou can call the central number [01] 222 2222 and ask for the Rents Section, talk to them about your new circumstances and your rent will be adjusted straight away.
But if you don’t have the time or the space to do this for whatever reason, again people are not to stress.
I’m not stressing.
You’re stressing.
This afternoon.
