Cape Verde will hold elections on Sunday with two candidates for prime minister who offer the classic choice between change or continuity. Also, the Eurovision Song Contest celebrates its 70th anniversary, but the event is overshadowed by controversy as five nations boycott over Israel’s participation and alleged voter manipulation at last year’s contest. And, Cuba's oil reserves have run dry, causing blackouts lasting more than 20 hours and widespread protests — the result of an ongoing US blockade of the island. Plus, one woman starts a relationship — with herself.Photo credit: Misper Apawu/AP
