BREAKING: The Dutch Eredivisie season has been voided, meaning league leaders Ajax have been denied the title as they lead AZ Alkmaar on goal difference.

Captain Tom Moore, the war veteran who walked laps of his garden to raise money for the NHS, has become the oldest person ever to score a number one single in the UK.

At the age of 99, his duet with Michael Ball has knocked Canadian superstar The Weeknd from the top of the charts.

Their cover of You'll Never Walk Alone sold 82,000 copies, with proceeds going to the NHS Charities Together fund.

"My grandchildren can't believe I'm a chart-topper," said Capt Tom.

He thanked the public for buying the single, adding: "We're in this together, and I am forever grateful for your support.

"And this just proves 'you'll never walk alone'."

Capt Tom's birthday is next Thursday, meaning he will still be number one when he turns 100.

That will make him the first centenarian to top the charts, having already broken the record for the oldest person to reach number one.

Sir Tom Jones was the previous record-holder, having been 68 when his Comic Relief cover of Islands In The Stream came out in 2009.

The Welsh star was quick to congratulate his successor.

"Capt Moore, from one Tom to another, congratulations on beating my chart record," he said. "If I was going to lose to anybody, it's an honour to have lost to you, with all you have done raising money for the NHS."

Debenhams has warned the Welsh finance minister it will be forced to shut its major shops in Wales unless the government reverses a decision on business rates relief.

Chancellor Rishi Sunak has granted a rates holiday to all retail, leisure and hospitality firms for a year.

Wales initially said it would match these plans but then changed the threshold for those eligible.

It said the change means business rates will be used for grants to small firms.

In a letter seen by the BBC, Debenhams' chairman writes that the move threatens the viability of its biggest stores in Wales in Cardiff, Swansea, Newport, Wrexham and Llandudno.

Wales decided not to extend relief to properties with a rateable value of £500,000 and above.

The 2019–20 Eredivisie was the 64th season of the Dutch football league Eredivisie since its establishment in 1955. The season began on 2 August 2019 and was abandoned on 24 April 2020, due to the 2020 coronavirus pandemic in the Netherlands. Ajax was the defending champion. Twente, RKC Waalwijk and Sparta Rotterdam joined as the promoted clubs from the 2018–19 Eerste Divisie. They replaced NAC Breda, Excelsior and De Graafschap who were relegated to the 2019–20 Eerste Divisie.

A former attacking midfielder, he made world headlines by scoring the winning golden goal for South Korea against Italy in the 2002 FIFA World Cup second round, and earning him dismissal from the Italian club A.C. Perugia. He also played for clubs in Japan, France, Germany and China, as well as being selected for South Korea in two more World Cups, in 2006 and 2010. After his retirement as a football player, he became a television show host and a football commentator.

The impact of Liverpool's Champions League fixture with Atletico Madrid on the spread of coronavirus is being investigated by the city's council.

The move follows calls from the mayor of Liverpool City Region Steve Rotheram for an independent inquiry.

The Reds hosted Atletico at Anfield on 11 March in front of 52,000 fans including 3,000 from Madrid, which was already under partial lockdown.

Liverpool City Council will work with John Moores University on the project.

A spokesperson said: "Liverpool City Council, alongside partners at the University of Liverpool and John Moores University, have agreed to explore any impact of Covid-19 as a result of the Atletico Madrid match at Anfield on 11 March.

"Liverpool City Council's public health team, alongside partners, is currently assessing the size and scope of the project. As the city's current focus is very much on dealing with the pandemic, no timescale or date has yet been set for the completion of the work and when it will be reported."

S27 E01 · Top 30
Jun. 6, 2012 • Season 27
The `Come Dine with Me' vault has been ransacked to countdown the top 30 best bits ever. During over a thousand episodes, hundreds of people have attempted to host the ultimate dinner party and claim the £1,000 prize. These vintage clips show the good, the bad and the downright ugly, with wannabe cooks and their menu mishaps ranging from pigs trotters for a main course to sausage trifle for dessert.

The highest score ever was awarded to Ian Cook from Liverpool. He got 39 and missed out on the perfect 40 because he put the water on the table in plastic bottles.
