The controversy over the cost of removing flammable cladding from blocks of flats returns to parliament this week.

When you live in these situations, you often come to a point where you feel numbed at the violence and the death that goes on. I bought my flat in eastern ghouta, which is the east side of damascus. I moved into my flat. In 2013, ive been told how the flat, how the building was destroyed by the fighting. It was my life savings basically all gone. This is where i live. Eventually, bassel was granted asylum. He could work and managed to buy a 25 share in a one bed flat in east london.

But his development has News/flammable-hpl'>Flammable Hpl, or high News/pressure-laminate'>Pressure Laminate, cladding.

Kept at a constant temperature of 12 celsius, with 95 humidity, the group lived and worked together in the cave without any knowledge of how much time theyd spent there. Water was drawn from a well, and electricity generated from an exercise bicycle. Youd think that theyd be eager to return to the outside world. But surrounded by darkness, some grew to love their environment. Translation i think im happy. A few hours ago i didnt want to leave the cave, because i think we deducted to the environment. But now that we found new smells, we can see colours again, you know, we can feel the wind. There are so many sensations that come back. All the sensations that id forgotten, actually, during those 40 days. This experiment is the first of its kind. Scientists monitoring the volunteers want to see how we respond emotionally and cognitively to an environment without normal day and night. This could help the study of conditions which result in disorientation and perceptions of time and space. Translation its alzheimers i disease, it is innerear problems. People who suffer from vertigo suffer from disorientation problems. So, one of the protocols that we have set up in deep time is to have very sensitive measures of this.

People had to get tested and most people are vaccinated. Once you are on the premises, i think it is like masks off and it will definitely feel like, as normal as they can make it, which would be pretty wild, definitely the biggest event ive been to since covid started. So, finally, the News/oscars-buzz'>Oscars Buzz is building. Oh, the finale is going to be sensational and were building to it now. You can feel it.

In eastern england will tend to migrate back inland, pulling its way westwards towards the welsh borders. Light winds elsewhere into the Starry Skies will allow our temperatures to fall away. But by The End of the night, it is likely that we will see our first News/weather-front'>Weather Front and tiny area of low pressure bringing some rain into the northern and Western Isles and northwest highlands. So, not as chilly here, but those were some patch of frost and more so under the clear skies again. So, the safety the area of low pressure will drift southwards, The Rain turns more showering, so not all guaranteed some rain. At that low pressure than pulls away to the east of us and it hangs around, so it is never too far away. Not promising a great deal of rain but always bringing potentially quite a bit of cloud around and as it does pull away to the east, it allows once again a Northerly Arctic Wind to pull down across the uk. So, actually a chilly start on monday with a bit of News/mist-and-fog'>Mist And Fog and low cloud around a clear way, but in the south, we start to lose the chilly breeze we had slowly. So, perhaps feeling a bit warmer here away from the south coast. But for scotland, it is definitely a different day. Cloudier, breezier, with outbreaks of quite heavy rain, which will eventually erode the sunshine into News/northern-ireland'>Northern Ireland and Northern England with a few showers here by The End of the day. So, obviously feeling cooler too. Through News/monday-night'>Monday Night and into tuesday, that low pressure still with us. Slowly meandering southwards. The rain turning a little bit more showering with heavy in perhaps northeastern england, News/north-scotland'>North Scotland and perhaps not reaching the far southeast, but some of the showers could well turn out to be heavy with News/hail-and-thunder'>Hail And Thunder and look at the temperatures for most, considerably lower than they have been. Back down to around average, perhaps a bit below average for many and that is heading further southwards by the time begin to wednesday and thursday as well. So, News/cooler-air'>Cooler Air and still the risk of frost. As always, there is more on the website. Another day of record new covid infections in india as hospitals in News/delhi-turn'>Delhi Turn patients away. With the peak of indias second wave still thought to be two weeks away there is News/anguish-and-anger'>Anguish And Anger at the governments failures. I am totally disheartened with the situation that i am seeing. The government is a literal failure. The uk is sending News/oxygen-equipment'>Oxygen Equipment and ventilators to india as international concern grows at its covid crisis. Also on the programme.

India has registered a new News/world-record'>World Record for daily News/coronavirus-infections'>Coronavirus Infections for the fourth day in a row with almost 350,000 new cases. In the capital delhi the epicentre of a ferocious second wave of covid the disease is killing one person every four minutes. As hospitals across News/india-struggle'>India Struggle with overcrowding and limited oxygen supplies, an initial shipment of News/uk-aid'>Uk Aid is due to leave tonight. From delhi, our correspondent Yogita Limaye reports. With every pyre that burns, indias News/self-belief'>Self Belief is dying. Each funeral is a story of personal loss and national shame. Charanjeev malhotra has been helping to cremate the dead for decades. Now, he barely ever stops working. Ive never seen such a terrifying situation. I cant believe that were in the capital of india. People arent getting oxygen, and theyre dying like animals, he says. We dont even have enough resources to cremate them properly. Outside, shivangi mehras on the phone, organising oxygen for the hospital she works in. Nothing, nothing is being done. I dont know if government is sleeping, or what they are doing. I am totally disheartened with the situation that i am seeing. The government is a literal failure. A person cannot live here in delhi. A person cannot even die peacefully in delhi. She is waiting to cremate her grandfather, who died, she says, because there wasnt enough oxygen. This small hospital in News/north-delhi'>North Delhi is facing a daily struggle. And we have been spending sleepless nights since the last one week. At times we feel like crying, because we are not able to help patients properly. Every day, it is the same scenario. We are left only with two hours of oxygen. And we are only getting assurance from the system, no oxygen. And so, families are being told to organise oxygen. At one medical shop, we found people with empty cylinders, waiting to buy their own supply for News/loved-ones'>Loved Ones who urgently need it. People are being told that the government is rushing in oxygen. But its already too late. Every News/crematorium-weve'>Crematorium Weve been to, weve seen body after body being brought in. Its hard for anyone to keep calm, but what workers have been telling me is that the real scale of deaths caused by covid 19 in india is a lot higher than what official numbers reflect. And a lot of those who died right now have done so because they couldnt 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. Yogita limaye, News/bbc-News'>Bbc News, delhi. Here, a Senior Minister has denied claims that borisjohnson acted improperly over how the renovation of his downing News/street-flat'>Street Flat was paid for. The former number 10 adviser News/dominic-cummings'>Dominic Cummings has accused the News/prime-minister'>Prime Minister of planning to ask conservative donors to pay for the work in secret News/something-mr'>Something Mr cummings described as foolish and possibly illegal. Heres our political correspondent, damian grammaticas, whose report contains some flashing images. Borisjohnson, his fiancee, and his News/election-triumph'>Election Triumph putting them in downing street. But now, questions that wont go away. After they moved in, the flat there was redecorated cost, perhaps tens of thousands. But who funded it . 11 months later, kicked out, the News/prime-minister'>Prime Ministers closest adviser News/dominic-cummings'>Dominic Cummings. So did the News/prime-minister'>Prime Minister, as he suggested, get a secret loan . The News/trade-secretary'>Trade Secretary was asked the question five times by andrew marr. My understanding is the costs have been covered by the prime News/minister-and-everything'>Minister And Everything is being fully declared in line with the rules. Did a tory News/party-donor'>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 beforehand . Andrew. That hes now paid back . 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 News/street-flat'>Street Flat refurbishment. On sky, another side step. Its the most distrusting, awful environment. Its rather windy out here. For liz truss, it must have felt like there was incoming from all sides today. Borisjohnsons office say no laws or codes have been broken. At this matters because he has to declare a loan for electoral or tax purposes, orjust to show there is no conflict of interest. Cummingss claim about his former boss, labour say, fit a pattern. Whether its redecoration is a privileged access to contracts in the pandemic, ministers must be transparent. The government have to answer why theyve given out billions of pounds of money to their cronies and theirfriends, and they wont 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 about 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, News/bbc-News'>Bbc News.

No facebook, instagram or twitter. Football has worked hard to stamp out racism within the grounds. But so far, its found it impossible to do the same on News/social-media'>Social Media. This boycott is an attempt to redress that balance. I think it is just a great statement from all of football that its not acceptable, whats been happening is not acceptable. I think News/social-media'>Social Media platforms and companies can do more. They know exactly what were doing, when we are doing it and when to sell us stuff when weve been looking at something only five minutes before on a different website. So they have the technology, we just want them to point it in the direction of removing hate, not jNews/ust-selling-us'>Ust Selling Us stuff. Twitter says its improving its automated systems, with new filters and improved content moderation. Similar changes have been adopted by facebook and instagram. And, in an interview before News of the boycott, the News/tech-giant'>Tech Giant said it was committed fighting racism. We have worked really closely with educators, we worked really closely with Football Clubs to talk about how do we raise awareness, and how do we educate people that this is an issue of concern . But we do believe that everyone, whether its media, whether its corporations, whether its tech companies, everyone should be having these conversations. Four days of silence, then. A symbolic gesture, or a real attempt to rid football and News/social-media'>Social Media of racism for good . Angus crawford, News/bbc-News'>Bbc News.

Shouting when you live in these situations, you often come to a point where you feel numbed of the violence and the death that goes on. I bought my flat in eastern ghouta, which is the east side of damascus. I moved into my flat. In 2013, ive been told how the flat, how the building was destroyed by the fighting. It was my life savings basically all gone. This is where i live. Eventually, bassel was granted asylum. He could work and managed to buy a 25 share in a one bed flat in east london.

Now on bbc one its time for the News where you are. Hello. This is News/bbc-News'>Bbc News. More now on the News that the uk is sending ventilators and News/oxygen-equipment'>Oxygen Equipment to india where hospitals are being overwhelmed by a huge surge in covid cases. Earlier we spoke to navtej sarna, the former indian ambassador to the us and a former High Commissioner of india to the uk, he told us what india is currently most in need of to fight the pandemic. There is a lot of need for a lot of things and at the moment, india is approaching suppliers for Oxygen Generators, medicines, equipment for News/oxygen-generation'>Oxygen Generation and so on. But specifically from the us, i think there is a broader request and that is to allow the export of equipment and components needed for vaccine production. As well as other materials needed. This has been locked under the News/defence-production-act'>Defence Production Act and locked under the News/defence-production-act'>Defence Production Actand india, locked under the News/defence-production-act'>Defence Production Act and india, which is the worlds largest News/vaccine-producer'>Vaccine Producer cannot be producing vaccines at a ramped up pace before its own needs as well as for the needs of the rest of the world because as you know, we have already exported around 66 Million doses to 95 countries. So, there is a need for these raw materials and a need for the astrazeneca doses, around 17 Million which are lying in the united states and are not expected to be used, those could be sent across and there is a need to make an exception that the wto, before allowing production of vaccines, in other words, an exception to Intellectual Property Rights and this is an issue that has been put forward by india, South Africa and several other countries. These are the assets from the united states. It these are the assets from the united states. ,. , these are the assets from the united states. ,. , these are the assets from the united states. ,. ,. ,. , states. It is a critical situation they need states. It is a critical situation they need swift states. It is a critical situation they need swift action states. It is a critical situation they need Swift Action To states. It is a critical situation | they need Swift Action To make states. It is a critical situation they need Swift Action To make sure that the country does of the supply of oxygen and other medication that is needed. How long might it take to resolve those bureaucratic issues that you are talking about . I think as far as the that you are talking about . I think as far as the oxygen that you are talking about . I think as far as the Oxygen Generators i that you are talking about . I think i as far as the Oxygen Generators and others are concerned, i think the movement is already taking place in some Oxygen Containers from singapore came in yesterday and its something that is expected from germany and i think things are afoot in france, possibly the uk and the uae. You see, there are logistical difficulties. You cannot carry oxygen just like that. Difficulties. You cannot carry oxygenjust like that. It difficulties. You cannot carry oxygen just like that. It has to be liquefied. If Liquefied Oxygen comes by ship, it has its own time constraints. It is not easy and probably the easiest thing of the moment is to get the generators and to get in small plants which can actually be producing oxygen for the hospitals. There is a need for medicines and above all, there is a need for the vaccine raw materials. So, it cannot happen overnight, but i think things have started. Here are government i think things have started. Here are News/government-minister'>Government Minister i think things have started. Here are News/government-minister'>Government Minister list trust, the international News/trade-secretary'>Trade Secretary thatis the international News/trade-secretary'>Trade Secretary that is been talking about what support the News/uk-government'>Uk Government can give to india. The country is looking up what support it can offer, describing the situation is terrible. She says they are looking at what can be done for areas like oxygen and putting together a package should try to help the indian government. What specifically would you ask of the News/uk-government'>Uk Government . I think movement, to be able to give them lists and im sure that the commission has already put on the list there. I would not like to second guess with these they have asked for. I think it is obvious for the needs of Wrapping Up the immediate supply of oxygen in whichever way we can. I think the High Commission has very put out a detailed list. High commission has very put out a detailed list. Youve mentioned that india has exported detailed list. Youve mentioned that india has exported huge detailed list. Youve mentioned that india has exported huge numbers. Detailed list. Youve mentioned that india has exported huge numbers of doses from the vaccine, 66 Million doses from the vaccine, 66 Million doses to 95 countries and other india is the situation that it is and, were talking about the difficulties of getting astrazeneca doses across the united states, do you foresee a Potential Situation where india will say that it doesnt want to export doses currently and will keep supplies for itself . That will keep supplies for itself . Git the moment, and he is not exporting because we have to defer to a domestic need. So there is a temporary halt that process and there also considerable domestic criticism of having exported those doses and i think they were done with the idea that this is a global pandemic and that this is not one News/countries-problem'>Countries Problem alone. And theres an expectation, not a reciprocity of expectation, but there is an expectation, but there is an expectation that countries will come together and see where the need is greatest and frankly, there is no place in the situation which is too far away. And what is happening in india could very easily have been in some other country. So, i think there is an expectation that there should be a more generous and more Open Hearted and more statesman like approach to removing the barricades to exports of essential materials.
