Swedish singer Loreen wins Eurovision Song Contest for second time

Sweden won the Eurovision Song Contest early Sunday for the seventh time, as singer Loreen beat out 25 competitors for the second time in the finale of the world's biggest live music event, hosted by Britain on behalf of war-torn Ukraine. FRANCE 24's Dave Keating reports that this means Sweden will be hosting the musical event next year, following a close battle between Finland and Sweden for the top spot.
