BBC cancel Casualty on Saturday in new scheduling changes

The BBC has cancelled this week's instalment of Casualty following a change to the television schedule.

Instead, BBC One will stream the Eurovision Grand Final from 8pm. Performing in the Grand Final will be all the acts who successfully made it through their respective semi-finals along with the United Kingdom, France, Spain, Germany, and Italy who make up the Big Five.

Joining them will be last year’s winner Ukraine who also automatically qualify. The show will open with last year’s winners Kalush Orchestra and a performance titled Voices of a New Generation.

Treatment tents were set up outside as patients continued to arrive at the hospital. However, a number were still trapped inside leaving viewers reeling as a huge explosion ripped through the buidling.
