the napkin that kick—started lionel messi's career goes up for auction today. trust me that is a sentence that makes sense. upon the napkin was written the first contract between a 13 —year—old messi and barcelona. it goes under the hammer at bonhams new york in an online auction running until 17th may. estimates suggest around half a million dollars could be enough to get it. preparations in the french capital are almost complete . and now the olympic flame has arrived in the country. after an ii—day journey from greece it reached marseille on a tallship surrounded by a flotilla of more than a thousand small boats. its epic voyage will continue across france but also include an oceans relay that'll take in six of france's overseas territories before the games' opening ceremony on the 26thjuly.

there is more on our website. a clinical trial in the uk has found that the immune systems of children with severe food allergies can be trained to cope with foods they were previously allergic to. researchers gave children with peanut and milk allergies daily doses of the foods and found they were able to tolerate them in small amounts for the first time. they hope this oral immunotherapy may be able to replace the expensive pharmaceutical supplements that are normally used to treat food allergies. earlier i spoke to tanya ednan laperouse who set up the natasha allergy research foundation which helped nhs hospitalsjoin the trial thanks to their funding. tanya's daughter natasha, died in 2016 after suffering a severe allergic reaction. rescue efforts are ongoing to tip last night, the efforts were behind

cheering. welcome to the eurovision song contest 202a. and so it begins. eurovision 202a, and the first semifinal. and while the uk is automatically guaranteed a place in saturday's main event, this opening show was a chance for olly alexander to reveal his gravity—defying eurovision routine. it was definitely slightly dizzying, and it's a reminder ofjust how much these days is put into staging and spectacle. # so take me there. # won't you make me dizzy for your kisses...# croatia's baby lasagna with rim tim tagi dim are the bookies' favourites with a song... ..that got the arena singing. and then there's ireland, which was this year trying something a bit different. meet bambie thug, and a performance with a certain wow factor.

hi, my name is bambie thug. so how would you describe your style? ouija pop. nonbinary, alt witch, boss. and the reaction in ireland, would it be fair to say mixed? yeah, definitely. definitely a mixed reaction. some priests not liking me very much. and... i don't think you're too bothered by that, are you? no, not really. but behind the pyrotechnics, there's a political undercurrent this year with questions about israel taking part, and eurovision wanting to keep politics off stage. bambie thug was told to remove writing declaring freedom for palestine. but, at the end of the evening, it was all about the spectacle on stage. it's ireland. and the joy of ireland

making it to the final. and it really matters for ireland because it has the most illustrious eurovision past. but, in recent years, well, it's been a bit of a sad time. it's been six... six years since they qualified. but now they are finally through to the final with bambie thug. cheering. the party is well and truly under way. david sillito, bbc news, malmo. prince harry will celebrate the 10 year anniversary of his invictus games with a thanksgiving service at st paul's cathedral later. the duke of sussex has travelled to the uk to commemorate the milestone of the games for injured veterans. daniela relph has more.
