The organisers of Eurovision say the song submitted by Belarus must be amended — or a new song selected — after deciding it "puts the non-political nature of the Contest in question".

But the Belrusian entry has a chorus which makes fun of the political opposition and citizens protesting against the government.
Stuart Smith reports from Moscow.
