were 5,534 new cases recorded in the latest 24—hour period, which means on average the number of new cases reported per day in the last week is 5,782. the number of hospital patients with coronavirus across the uk is 8,029. there were 121 deaths reported, that's of people who died within 28 days of a positive covid—i9 test, which means on average, 1m people died every day in the last week from coronavirus, taking the total to i25,a6a. nearly 370,000 people have had their first dose of a covid vaccine in the latest 2a hour period, which means a total of 23.6 million people have now had theirfirstjab. and more than 1.5 million people have had both doses of the vaccine. as infections fall and vaccinations rise, lockdown restrictions are starting to ease, including in wales today. the stay—at—home rule has been replaced with a requirement to stay local. it means that, as in scotland, up to four people from two different households, can now meet outdoors to socialise, including in private gardens. 0utdoor sport has also resumed. russian police have broken up an opposition conference and detained 200 people — including high—profile opposition figures. the weekend forum had just begun in a moscow hotel — when police burst in and said they were detaining everyone. according to police, coronavirus rules were broken. authorities have continued to crack down on opposition activity as elections loom. in myanmar, at least eight protesters have been killed by security forces, as demonstrations continue across the country, against last month's military coup. and international criticism is growing for the tactics used against the protesters. the worst of the violence took place in the city of mandalay, where police opened fire on the crowds. jonathan head reports. gunfire. the days in myanmar�*s towns and cities are punctuated by protests... ..by lethal volleys of gunfire from the army and police... ..and by the funerals of those who've been killed. the death toll in this elemental battle between unarmed people and the military regime, whose authority they still refuse to accept, keeps climbing. today was another terrible day in mandalay, where opposition to the military coup runs very high. the police showed up at 10am. by then, the rally was already over. as i said, they were there to kill. they didn't have to kill, they didn't have to shoot a single shot. people were about to go back. people were about to disperse. but they did anyway. this woman has just lost her husband. he'd volunteered as a neighbourhood guard and joined a protest at a police station near his home in yangon last night, demanding the release of detainees. the police responded by opening fire. after five weeks of this, and around 80 deaths, people have still not given up. every day, they rebuild the barricades that shout their defiance at the soldiers. every day, the soldiers pull them down, firing abuse, and shots, back at the people. and at night, before preparing to defend themselves once more against the marauding troops, they hold vigils for the dead, knowing that by morning, the toll may be even higher. jonathan head, bbc news, bangkok. the broadcaster murray walker, described as "the voice of formula one," has died. he was 97. in a career spanning six decades, his distinctive commentary style and passion for motor sport, won him fans around the world. andy swiss looks back at his life. so, it's ready, it is go, go, go, go! and schumacher leads, brilliant start... exuberant, excitable and utterly unmistakable. the austrian driver in the black sauber... murray walker was the high—octane voice behind a high—octane sport. it was once said that even in his quieter moments, he sounded like his trousers were on fire. that's it, bang, bang, and off! his passion came from his father, graham walker, who raced motorcycles and was himself a commentator, often sharing the duties with young murray. the sensation is that tommy wood went through, not on time, not after time, but ahead of time. and after commentating on his first british grand prix in 19119, murray walker became an integral part of formula i. but in a sport of inevitable risk, he was faced with tragedy, too. world motor racing champion ayrton senna has been - pronounced clinically dead. when the great ayrton senna died in a crash “119911, walker's shock was only too clear. this is the blackest day for grand prix racing that i can remember in the many, many years that i've been covering the sport. walker never hid his emotions. most famously when his friend damon hill won the world title in 1996. damon hill exits the chicane and wins the japanese grand prix! i've got to stop because i've got a lump in my throat. because he really genuinely loved motorsport and was fascinated by formula 1 and all things with an engine, he communicated that enthusiasm and people were drawn in by that and they recognised that, as well. for real spectacular driving, watch this! his frenetic style wasn't without its gaffes... looks through a completely clean windscreen and that's the big advantage, of course, of being in front. his energy and enthusiasm endeared him to millions and when he covered his final british grand prix in 2001, the affection was plain to see. one of sport's most—imitated voices, but there'll only ever be one murray walker. the motor racing commentator and broadcaster, murray walker, who's died at the age of 97. now, with the rest of the day's sports news, here's 0lly foster, at the bbc sport centre. good evening. wales are still on for the six nations grand slam after running in seven tries against italy for a huge win in rome. england left it late against france at twickenham as they won 23—20. our sports correspondent joe wilson watched both games. can you stand in rome and be heard in cardiff? well, wynjones would try. such is welsh confidence, it all seems possible. scoring tries against italy looks easy. with their opponents missing a man, wales went from one end to the other. 50 points up in 15 minutes. good time to check on italy's coach. right... four tries get to a bonus point. wales achieve that inside 30 minutes when 0wens wrestled and wriggled over. talented new welsh players have burst through in this six nations, especially rees—zammit. once he got the ball up the field in front of him, well, the italians were chasing a red ferrari. no one is catching that young man! 48—7 it finished. italy's reaction understandable, but remember wales, thus far, have beaten everyone. and so to twickenham, for a match that began at a staggering pace. france scoring in a minute, kick and collect, antoine dupont with the world at his feet at the ball somehow in his hand. england were inspired to raise their own game and quickly responded, anthony watson going over, that was good. the next try was special, it is what french flair used to look like, and be there and then it meant france were four points ahead at half—time. instead they lead with four minutes left. itoje barged over but did he ground the ball? the referee on the field said no but handed over to the tv official who did see a fraction brush the grass, try. 0n tv official who did see a fraction brush the grass, try. on such evidence was in one's reputation rescued. france's unbeaten run defeated. joe wilson, bbc news. the premier league and premiership goals, if you're watching in scotland, are coming up after the news, but i've got the results for you, if you want them. manchester city have moved 17 points clear at the top of the table. it was goalless at half—time but they beat fulham 3—0 at craven cottage. elsewhere burnley won 2—1 at everton and leeds drew 0—0 against chelsea. crystal palace's wilfried zaha is the first premier league player to not take a knee before kick—off, saying the anti—racism gesture has become too routine and lost its impact. palace won the game against west brom 1—0. just the two games in the scottish premiership. livingstone beat hamilton 2—1, and hibernian are looking good for third after beating ross county by the same scoreline. great britain's women have beaten ireland in the opening match of their hockey series in belfast. the olympic champions came from behind to win 2—1. sarah robertson scored the winning goal in the final quarter. they play again tomorrow with the last game on tuesday. sir lewis hamilton has had a difficult day in bahrain where the formula one teams are currently testing. he lost control of his mercedes forcing the session to be stopped at one point, and while his teammate valteri bottas posted the fastest time, he was second—slowest on the track where the season starts in just over a fortnight. and finally, lee westwood shares the lead at the players championship in florida, you can follow the rest of the third round on the bbc sport website, that's it. you can see more on all of today's stories on the bbc news channel. but from me, and the rest of the team, have a very good night. hello. this is bbc news. we'll be taking an in—depth look at the papers with our reviewers. that's coming up after the headlines. let's return now to our main story this evening — the response across the country to the death of sarah everard. this was scene at clapham common a little earlier where hundreds gathered despite the official vigil being cancelled because of coronavirus restrictions. police were in attendance, and there were scuffles as they tried to shut down the unauthorised demonstration. protesters, mainly women, chanted "shame on you" as officers attempted to stop speeches at the bandstand this evening. the home secretary priti patel ordered a full report into the handling of the protest by the met police, calling some of the footage upsetting. more on that in a moment with our political correspondent nick eardley. but first, jamie klingler is from the group reclaim these streets, which was set up this week to raise money for women—focussed charities. so far they've raised over £150,000 — the group also organised the vigil on clapham common that was cancelled. we told the met that it would be worse if we didn't have the organisation we had planned which was covid safe and people are angry that we were silenced in this case, about women being silenced and having violence against them pursued. so we did everything we could to make it a safe and silent vigil. clearly that hasn't come out from the ruling yesterday and how it was communicated. it's unfortunate that the situation we are in prevents big gatherings like this but the turnout, this unofficial turnout shows the strength of feeling, i suppose. and also, we started crowdfunding at 7am this morning because we weren't going to pay the fines because we didn't have the protests and it has hit £320,000 which was going to be the total in fines, in 11 hours. this is the start of a movement. we are ready and people are showing that we have had enough of the violence. we need to sort this, it needs to be a priority in the government and the met and they need to take us seriously. the crime convictions for men, women reporting things, it needs to be taken more seriously. arguably the money is going to be better spent anyway than on something like fines. how are you going to spend it? we decided at 2am to start fundraising. we're going to have a meeting and talk to sarah's family and get good guidance and get professionals involved about where it should go, women's charities. we're talking women about getting access to legal care and underrepresented women. women of colour who have died have not had this kind of publicity and we recognise we need to make sure that women in domestic violence situations who are refugees, those who don't have a voice, need to have their voices heard by the police and government. we have to be careful when we talk about an active court case. what is it about this particular moment that has brought so many people together to say, "we've had enough?" so many times when we hear about women it is either domestic violence or, "she was drunk or she dressed in a slutty way". the excuses, and this time, she was wearing bright clothes, she did the call home to her boyfriend, she was on a busy road. we were all sarah, we were all possibly that person and by the chance that we weren't out that nig
