By Mark SavageBBC music reporter They said they were still weighing up the best way to stage the show, and were being "determined but realistic". Contestants have already been asked to produce a "live-on-tape" performance ahead of the competition. The videos will be used if artists cannot travel due to the pandemic, or are forced to quarantine at the venue. The 2021 Song Contest will still take place in Rotterdam after the Netherlands won the competition in 2019 with Arcade. Last year's event was cancelled because of the pandemic. "The Eurovision Song Contest will definitely make its welcome return this May despite the pandemic but, in the prevailing circumstances, it is regrettably impossible to hold the event in the way we are used to," executive supervisor Martin Österdahl said. Who is competing? All 41 countries who were scheduled to compete in 2020 will return, as will many of the contestants who were supposed to take part last year. However, all artists will be required to perform a different song. Returning entrants include Ireland's Lesley Roy and Iceland's Daði Freyr, who was tipped as a potential winner. The BBC has yet to reveal who will represent the UK, but last year's contestant, James Newman, has previously said he is keen to return. "I've said that I want to do it," he told BBC Radio 1 last year. "For me, it's like I want to finish what I started." What happens next? Last year, Eurovision announced four "scenarios" for how the contest could take place, ranging from a full-scale arena show with an audience, to a virtual event. On Wednesday, Eurovision announced that "scenario A", which would have involved "a packed venue", had been ruled out. Scenario B means there could still be a socially-distanced show, with a reduced audience and participants performing in Rotterdam's Ahoy arena. Strict health and safety measures, including frequent Covid testing, would be in place. For scenario C, all performances will be played "live-on-tape" with presenters helming the show from Rotterdam. Interval acts would also play live from the arena to a reduced audience. The final option would be for a fully-virtual contest, with no audience. Organisers say they are currently "focusing their efforts" on option B "while realistically keeping downscaling options on the table for the weeks to come".

Eurovision Song Contest organisers have ruled out a full live show without social distancing when this year's event is staged in May.

Prosecutors accused him of assaulting a woman after she had consensual sex with his ex-team-mate Joe Clarke in April 2017. He denied two counts of rape and a jury was discharged after it failed to reach verdicts during a five-day trial earlier this month. The 23-year-old will face a new trial at Worcester Crown Court on 8 April. The alleged victim told the first trial she woke up to find Australian-born Mr Hepburn performing a sex act on her. Mr Hepburn claimed that the encounter happened after a night out, and that she was awake and initial kissing led to consensual sexual contact. Jurors - made up of eight women and four men - deliberated for more than nine-hours before telling the judge they were unlikely to agree on verdicts. A majority direction was also given by the judge, but the panel were still unable to decide. The Crown Prosecution Service has opted for a retrial after consulting on the decision for almost two weeks. A CPS spokeswoman said: "After careful consideration of the case against Alex Hepburn, including consultation with the complainant, we have decided to seek a retrial." Mr Hepburn, of Portland Street, Worcester, has been released on bail. Follow BBC West Midlands on Facebook, on Twitter, and sign up for local news updates direct to your phone.
Former Worcestershire cricketer Alex Hepburn will face a retrial over rape claims.

By Jon ManelBBC Radio 4 It lies beneath a grand London mansion, owned by the Queen and leased to the government. It contains around 39,000 bottles of wines and spirits. For years, details of what was in it were shrouded in secrecy, even though it has been funded by the British taxpayer. Welcome to the Government's wine cellar. Lancaster House is down the road from Buckingham Palace. It sits well in such a prestigious neighbourhood. However, the ornate grandeur of the public rooms stops at the door to a fire escape, which takes you down to the basement and to a service corridor. A key is turned in a large wooden door. Step inside and the temperature drops considerably. A short alarm goes off to let everybody know there is a visitor. The first thing you see is a large wooden table, which is made from an elm tree that blew down in St James's Park in around 1830. There is a curved brick ceiling painted white and there are three corridors on each side. These are where you find the wine racks, stretching from floor to ceiling. If their contents were sold on the open market, they would raise a fortune.The Government's estimate is £2m. Untouched for decades The wines here are some of the finest you could possibly wish to taste. They are fit for prime ministers, presidents and kings and queens. In fact, those are exactly the kind of guests who are likely to have the chance to indulge their palates on the contents of the best bottles. It has not been often that any journalist has been able to describe all of this, as access has been strictly limited. This unusual visit has come after months of trying and waiting. All the wines and spirits have been bought over many decades. Some of the dust suggests certain bottles have not been touched for much of that time. I pick up a bottle of the 1961 Chateau Latour. The palms of my hands become sweaty when I am informed how much it is worth. I am told that I will have to pay for it if I drop it. I have never put a bottle down so quickly, yet gently, in my life. The head of government hospitality, Robert Alexander OBE, is watching carefully. "This probably now has a market value of somewhere in the region of £4,000 and £10,000," he says, "depending on where you are selling it in the world." "It was purchased for 51 shillings and five pence." The most that has ever been spent on any single bottle for the cellar was around £100. There is a row of vintage champagnes. There used to be 17 different types but that number is somewhat smaller now. The 1878 Grand Fins Bois Cognac is said to be "excellent, superlative even - fiery and delicious". I am drawn to a port, without a label. I am told it is a 1931 Quinta do Noval and is considered to be one of best of the 20th Century. There are some intriguing clues in the cellar's stock list as to which wines the powerful prefer with their meals - whether British politicians or visitors. Lady Thatcher described the 1961 Chateau Margaux as "silky". A French delegation called the Corton 1961, Grand Cru, Cote de Beaune, Bouchard Pere et Fils "a national treasure". Robert Alexander says not all of the wines are reserved for big state banquets and important visitors from abroad. "The majority of our work does not involve heads of state. We're looking at ministerial hospitality hosted by ministers from a whole range of government departments and that's where most of wine is being deployed. It's not the top wines. It's the good standard reliable stock that we are using on a day-to-day basis." The more expensive vintages are now unlikely to be consumed by any guest. During the course of the next year, around £50,000 worth will be sold in order to buy new bottles. This will be repeated over the subsequent three years. The government says the purchase of wine will now be "entirely self-financing". However, the day-to-day maintenance of the cellar will still be paid for by the tax payer. The Foreign Office, which runs the wine cellar, says it seriously considered shutting it down entirely but that an 11-month review concluded that it remains the most cost-effective way of supplying wine for the government's various events. Alas, the closest I came to any of the wine and spirits was picking up one of the bottles. I am not then as fortunate as some of the security officers, who accompany presidents and members of royalty when they visit London. A Foreign Office official told me that some insist on tasting the wine before it is served up to the VIP they are looking after. Apparently, it is to do with keeping the visitors safe, rather than being able to say they have tasted one of the best wines around.

The government has, until recently, kept the contents of its wine cellar a secret. A rare tour reveals some vintage treasures.
