more on this at 20 past come paul mortimer, a former footballer and anti—discrimination campaigner. the former number ten adviser, dominic cummings, has accused the prime minister of planning to ask conservative donors to pay for work to refurbish as downing street flat in secret, something mr cummings described as foolish and possibly illegal. here's our political correspondent, damian grammaticas. his report contains some flashing images. december2019, borisjohnson, his fiancee carrie symonds and his election triumph putting them in downing street. but now the questions that won't go away. after they moved in, their flat there was redecorated, cost unknown, perhaps £58,000. who funded it? and how? 11 months later, kicked out, the prime minister's closest adviser dominic cummings. his new claim is that mrjohnson discussed a secret plan so, did the prime minister get a loan? the trade secretary was asked the question five times by andrew marr. my understanding is
6:05 pm
the costs have been covered by the prime minister and everything is being fully declared in line with the rules. did a tory party donor lend him the money beforehand? as i said, he is covering the cost, and it is being complied with fully... the question is did a donor provide the money before hand ? andrew, i am spending my time in intense trade negotiations, getting a good deal for the united kingdom. i am not spending my time thinking about the downing street flat refurbishment. later, on sky, another side step. it is rather windy out here. for liz truss, it must have felt like there was incoming from all sides today. borisjohnson's office say no codes or laws have been broken. dominic cummings has questioned the integrity and competence of the prime minister he used to serve.
6:06 pm
labour say that fits a pattern, whether it is redecoration work or privileged access to contracts for safety equipment in the pandemic, and ministers must be transparent. the government have to answer why they've given out billions of pounds of money to their cronies and friends and they won't even declare it through the current rules. publish the members' interests and ministers' interests, and publish who is on that vip list, and tell us where you are getting this money from, boris, to do up your flat. so, this is the storm unleashed by an adviser scorned and the questions that keep being asked. damian grammaticas, bbc news. india has registered a new world record for daily coronavirus infections for the fourth day in a row. almost 350,000 new cases and more than 2,700 deaths were reported in the past 2a hours. the disease is killing one person every four minutes. as hospitals across india struggle with overcrowding and with limited oxygen

told that the government is rushing in oxygen. but it's already too late. every crematorium we have been to, we have seen body after body being brought in. it's hard for anyone to keep calm, but what workers have been telling me is that the real scale of deaths caused by covid—i9 in india is a lot higher than what official numbers reflect. and a lot of those who have died right now have done so because they couldn't get oxygen in time. there is a sense of abandonment in this country. citizens are stepping up to do what a government should. left to fight a vicious pandemic on their own. let's talk this —— about this more with paul adams. some predictions it could go as high as 500,000 new cases every day. what
6:10 pm
can the outside world do? what can the uk do to help india at this moment? i the uk do to help india at this moment?— the uk do to help india at this moment? ~' , ., , , moment? i think there is inevitably it all feels like — moment? i think there is inevitably it all feels like dropped _ moment? i think there is inevitably it all feels like dropped in - moment? i think there is inevitably it all feels like dropped in the - it all feels like dropped in the bucket at the moment, given the sheer scale of the problems, but we are seeing now an awful lot of offers of help coming from quite a lot of places, so the british government today has announced that around 600 pieces of vital medical equipment will be sent to india in the next few days. those include 400, sorry, 140 ventilators and around 495 oxygen concentrators. now, those are machines that are able to generate oxygen from the atmosphere, thus relieving the pressure on the hospital is' own oxygen supply systems and helping in that way. as i say, that equipment should be on the way shortly. dominic raab has said he has had
6:11 pm
conversations with the indian government and that could be more assistance to follow. boris johnson, who of course had to cancel a trip that was due to take place this week to india, has said the uk is standing by what he describes as a friend and a partner. there have also been offered today from the eu. the eu commission president has said that the eu emergency mechanisms are being activated, which means the eu is coordinating among the various emergency response organisations across members to see what equipment can be located and supplied quickly. again, the emphasis is on medicines and on oxygen. and also, just in the last half an hour or so, word from the white house that the biden administration is also stepping up with offers of protective gear, medical equipment and raw materials for vaccines, so it is all gearing
6:12 pm
up for vaccines, so it is all gearing up in a fairly substantial way. how capable any of this is of addressing or stopping this wildfire spread of infection and death in india, of course, we'll have to see. paul, thank you _ course, we'll have to see. paul, thank you very _ course, we'll have to see. paul, thank you very much. _ course, we'll have to see. paul, thank you very much. paul - course, we'll have to see. paul, i thank you very much. paul adams, course, we'll have to see. paul, - thank you very much. paul adams, our world affairs correspondent. the latest coronavirus figures in the uk show that 1,712 new covid infections have been recorded in the in the latest 24—hour period there he's been an and 11 new coronavirus deaths — that's those who've died within 28 days of a positive test. the average number of deaths in the last week is 23. just over 140,000

6:14 pm
the driver of the ambulance was also injured and taken to hospital. colleagues at west midlands ambulance service paid tribute tojeremy daw, who had recently returned to his job after retiring, in order to help with the coronavirus pandemic. he was one of life's good people, you know? he was a public servant that did his nearly 30 years in the ambulance service. he was a mentor, a friend, colleague, a father. he was a doting husband. things like this shouldn't happen to anybody, but for people that provided that public service, we're devastated. and this hurts. it really, really hurts at this moment in time. in the last few hours, firefighters in northern ireland have managed to bring one of its worst gorse fires for years under control. the

6:21 pm
and the vaccine plan is far from in reach with only 300,000 vaccines available at the moment. iraq is suffering layers of conflict, political, economic and the health one with the pandemic. and this fire only added to the flame of anger among people. as the uk offers help to india to deal with record coronavirus cases, members of the hindu community have been gathering in a temple in north—west london to pray for their relatives. the prayers live stream to india. well, as the uk offers help to india to deal

6:23 pm
with india at the moment, there are a lot of people suffering from covid—19, so the best way we cannot do anything else but we can ask god, can you please give them strength and help them to come out from all the people is suffering? the prayers were simulcast up across india to send messages of love, hope and thoughts to those so far away. a man has been arrested in albania after driving into a pedestrianised square in the capital. people were queueing to be vaccinated when a car drove erratically through the square. it was only stopped when a passer—byjump square. it was only stopped when a passer—by jump feet first through the window. albanian police say they believe the 32—year—old suspect was driving under the influence of drugs. we are going to talk about

racism in football than a minute, but i will first tell you quickly that manchester city have won make the carabao cup after beating tottenham1—0 in the carabao cup after beating tottenham 1—0 in the final at wembley. more now about that boycott of social media by football clubs and the sport's governing bodies in protest at online abuse. we can talk now to the former charlton athletic, crystal palace and aston villa player, paul mortimer, also a prominent anti—discrimination campaign. thank you so much for joining us. first of all, tell us about your experiences when you were about your experiences when you were a player in terms of racist abuse. by, a player in terms of racist abuse. lot of things. it was abuse, verbal abuse, it was also violence, physical abuse. there was a lot of things being thrown at you, you know, fruit, coins and batteries and things like that. it was quite intimidating really. the safest place was on the pitch, funnily enough. it was not great, not very
6:25 pm
good, and to see that kind of thing rearing its head again, and to see that they found another forum to be able to, you know, voice this vitriol, it's very disappointing. but it is now being challenged. players, former players and many other people in the game really challenging this, particularly the social media companies, for allowing kind of online racist abuse. do you think that this boycott, this four day boycott announced for next friday, is that the sort of thing that will make a difference? for me, the bi est that will make a difference? for me, the biggest concern _ that will make a difference? for me, the biggest concern is, _ that will make a difference? for me, the biggest concern is, why - that will make a difference? for me, the biggest concern is, why only i the biggest concern is, why only four days? if you are going to do it, do it properly, so do a month. do it properly or do it over the bank holiday weekend, during the euros, do it when it actually matters, when people, you know, it will stop people and people will have to make sacrifices. that's the way you know it's really working and
6:26 pm
it's important. why four days? it could have been a lot longer. this is not for the players to do, this is not for the players to do, this is about the clubs. who has done it so far? the clubs and organisations challenging the social media platform owners to step up and actually protect the people that use their platforms. fiend actually protect the people that use their platforms.— their platforms. and will those -latform their platforms. and will those platform owners _ their platforms. and will those platform owners do _ their platforms. and will those platform owners do anything l their platforms. and will those i platform owners do anything because mike will they be bothered by a four day boycott or a 40 day boycott because mike what exactly do you want them to do?— want them to do? they should be -auttin want them to do? they should be putting regulations _ want them to do? they should be putting regulations in _ want them to do? they should be putting regulations in place i want them to do? they should be putting regulations in place so i want them to do? they should be i putting regulations in place so they can deal with perpetrators. at this moment in time, i could tell you and terrorise your and abuse to within an inch of your life on social media to make your life unbearable and have no records, no sanctions, and i could get away with it. although we are looking at racism and racist behaviour, there are kids who are losing their own lives from online
6:27 pm
bullying. this is not a new thing, but you know, football shines a spotlight on it, and it is challenging the social media owners. they must have kids and people within their own lives who have suffered. they must want to do something morally. they must know this is wrong. if they don't do anything, we should have a blackout, but it should be for a month, two months, whatever it is, to make them sit up and actually pay attention. i'm not so sure four days will do that. .. , i'm not so sure four days will do that. , .,, , ., i'm not so sure four days will do that. , , ., , ,., that. racist abuse of players online is one thing. _ that. racist abuse of players online is one thing, but _ that. racist abuse of players online is one thing, but you _ that. racist abuse of players online is one thing, but you were - that. racist abuse of players online is one thing, but you were talking l is one thing, but you were talking about it on the pitch. of course, recently we had the incident with rangers and glen kamara, racially abused by a sloppy prog player. it's notjust —— racially abused by a prog player.

6:30 pm
it seriously, kick it out would be front and centre and people would be afraid that they would be after them. i think football doesn't really know how to deal with racism. really interesting to talk to you, paul mortimer. good luck with your campaigning. now, the latest weather with helen. sunny again and warm after the story stays it will turn chilly tonight. picking up more cloud with mist and low cloud coming in from the north sea pushing across towards wales at our first significant weather friend for some time bring some rain in the far northwest of scotland by morning. milder here but for many again, chilly night with a touch of frost around by dawn and a little bit of mist and fog if you're up that early. that should clear away
