U2 frontman Bono with his wife Irish activist Ali Hewson at the Cannes premiere of his new film AFP Rock star Bono made an impassioned plea for the West to stand by Ukraine at the Cannes film festival, saying it was keeping Europe free from fascism. The U2 frontman told the audience at the premiere of a documentary based on his autobiography late Friday that the world is again being threatened by fascism as it was when the festival was set up in 1939. "Mussolini and the little man with a moustache and his mate Goebbels had taken over the Venice film festival, so this festival was set up to fight fascism," the Irish singer said.
