Norway has emerged as the winner of the Eurovision Song Contest, held in the Russian capital, Moscow. Singer and violinist Alexander Rybak, 23, smashed the record for the most points awarded during the competition. Norway voted Eurovision winners Iceland came second in the vote, followed by Azerbaijan which took the third place. The UK's Jade Ewen, singing an Andrew Lloyd Webber song, ended in fifth position - a marked improvement on last year's finish at the foot of the table. For the first time, voting in the final was split between televoting and panels of musical experts, which was supposed to reduce the incidence of predictable and neighborly votes. A total of 42 countries voted on the 25 songs, with Norway scoring a record 387 points. Alexander Rybak, who was born in the former Soviet Union, is a well-known musician in Norway. A classically-trained violinist and pianist, he wrote his country's winning entry, Fairytale. The previous biggest points haul was scored by Finland's Lordi with Hard Rock Hallelujah in Greece in 2006. No country suffered the indignity of receiving "nul points" this year but Finland finished in last place.

Snažno nevreme stiže u Srbiju

U većem delu Srbije će danas pre podne biti pretežno sunčano, toplo, suvo i vetrovito, uz olujnu košavu u Beogradu, na jugu Banata, u Pomoravlju i donjem Podunavlju, a već u poslepodnevnim satima biće kratkotrajne kiše ili pljuskova.
