Quote of the night

Norway has emerged as the winner of the Eurovision Song Contest, held in the Russian city of Moscow.

The cue for the BBC news story about Norway winning Eurovision.

I think this is the first time since I started reading BBC News website on a daily basis back in 2003 that I see Moscow being called not just ‘Moscow’—although the context perfectly justifies mentioning the country.

(Update: They have now changed it to the arguably less odd-looking ‘Russian capital, Moscow’.)
