Pressure is growing on the Prime Minister to explain in more detail how he paid for the refurbishment of his Downing Street flat. Labour has written to the Electoral Commission to demand a formal inquiry. And later today, the uks most Senior Civil Servant will be questioned by mps about Lobbying Rules following the revelations about the former prime Minister David Cameron and the allegations of impropriety levelled against borisjohnson by his former advisor, Dominic Cummings. Iain watson has this report. When Dominic Cummings left Downing Street last year, some in government worried about what secrets might emerge from that box. Hes now claimed that borisjohnson planned to ask a conservative donors to pay for the refurbishment of the Downing Street flat, and that this was unethical. Labour plans to keep up the pressure on number 10. Their lawyers have written to the party political watchdog, the Electoral Commission. They say. The commission says it is still gathering information. Downing street says electoral laws havent been broken and no codes of conduct have been breached. Labour is seeking to broaden their attack by demanding the publication of all contacts and links between ministers and firms giving Government Contracts during the covid crisis. The government said while contracts had been awarded at speed, Due Diligence was carried out, and ministers had no role in awarding them. And today, a Committee Of Mps will question the countrys top civil servant about another of Dominic Cummings� allegations. Simon case was due to talk about Lobbying Rules. He will now also be asked about the claim the Prime Minister considered halting a leak inquiry, in case it put a friend of his fiancee, carrie symonds, in the frame. Downing street has said that this is absolutely false. Now that hes out of Downing Street, Dominic Cummings seems keen for others tojoin him. Iain watson, Bbc News. Adam fleming is at westminster. Various Government Ministers saying all this is Gossip And Tittle tattle, but mps are going to ask briton� s top civil servant more about this today .

Cabinet secretary, the Senior Civil Servant, and all the political stories we have been talking about over the last few weeks, whether it is the handling of coronavirus, the lobbying of the government by former Prime Minister, whether it is the Prime Minister, whether it is the Prime Ministers whatsapp, whether it is how the Downing Street flat renovations were paid for, all this comes down to him because he was involved in all of those issues and there will be lots of questions for him. One of the big Questions Today is how exactly did the prime Minister Pay for the renovations to his flat which is above number 11 downing st. We now know officially the government has said he took advantage of the £30,000 allowance that all Prime Ministers get for alterations to their living quarters, but that any extra he paid for himself from his own money. Here is how the Defence SecretaryBen Wallace explained it. The is how the Defence SecretaryBen Wallace explained it. Wallace explained it. The Prime Minister has wallace explained it. The Prime Minister has paid wallace explained it. The Prime Minister has paid the wallace explained it. The Prime Minister has paid the bill. Wallace explained it. The Prime Minister has paid the bill. He i wallace explained it. The prime L Minister has paid the bill. He has personally paid the bill on top of the £30,000 allowance that comes from the the £30,000 allowance that comes from the taxpayer, which most Prime Ministers from the taxpayer, which most Prime Ministers have taken advantage of in the past ministers have taken advantage of in the past and he has paid the money. You say the past and he has paid the money. You say he the past and he has paid the money. You say he has paid the money. Was it originally a loan . It originally a loan . Well, look. The prime it originally a loan . Well, look. The Prime Minister it originally a loan . Well, look. The Prime Minister has it originally a loan . Well, look.

The Prime Minister has paid the money the Prime Minister has paid the money from his own money, so that is how it money from his own money, so that is how it has money from his own money, so that is how it has been paid. I dont Know Whetherm how it has been paid. I dont know whether. There is a lot of speculation around this, but the simple speculation around this, but the simple fact is the Prime Minister has paid simple fact is the Prime Minister has paid from his own money. There is a lawyer has paid from his own money. There is a lawyer been appointed to have a look at is a lawyer been appointed to have a look at the is a lawyer been appointed to have a look at the process. That is a lawyer been appointed to have a look at the process. Look at the process. That was the Defence Secretary. Look at the process. That was the Defence Secretary. As look at the process. That was the Defence Secretary. As far look at the process. That was the Defence Secretary. As far as look at the process. That was the l Defence Secretary. As far as labour 90, Defence Secretary. As far as labour go, we saw pictures of the Prime MinisterPlaying Football over the Weekend And Labour think they have a clear sight of goal on this one. Yes, what labour is doing is they say even though the Prime Minister has now admitted or confirmed he paid his own money, they are saying where did that money come from . You saw that hinted at in the questions Ben Wallace was being asked there. Ministers cannot answer that question about whether was it really the Prime Ministers own money or was it money that was loaned or donated to him by a tory donor as there is speculation around that . They either cannot answer it because they do not want to or because they do not know. Labour is saying would it not be better to have it all out in the open, very transparent, and make sure it has the approval of the Electoral Commission. He is what kate green, the Shadow Education Secretary said. Kate green, the Shadow Education Secretary said kate green, the Shadow Education Secretary said. What we have got at the Moment Secretary said. What we have got at the moment is secretary said. What we have got at the moment is a secretary said. What we have got at the moment is a Half Secretary said. What we have got at the moment is a Half Denial Secretary said. What we have got at the moment is a Half Denial at secretary said. What we have got at the moment is a Half Denial at the l the moment is a Half Denial at the moment the moment is a Half Denial at the moment from Downing Street, the prime moment from Downing Street, the Prime Minister. He is now saying he paid for Prime Minister. He is now saying he paid for it Prime Minister. He is now saying he paid for it himself, but we still dont paid for it himself, but we still dont know how that happened, whether dont know how that happened, whether it was a loan to the Prime Minister whether it was a loan to the Prime Minister and whether and how he might minister and whether and how he might repay it. It is becoming increasingly pressing so there is confidence in the propriety of our government, the integrity of our government, the integrity of our government, that the Electoral Commission carry out this investigation. There are plenty of things investigation. There are plenty of things to investigation. There are plenty of things to be worried about now as more things to be worried about now as more and things to be worried about now as more and more has come into public view about more and more has come into public View Aboutjust what more and more has come into public view about just what is going on more and more has come into public View Aboutjust what is going on in boris View Aboutjust what is going on in borisjohnsons View Aboutjust what is going on in Boris Johnsons government. That was the Labour Point of view on all of this. Let me ask you about the daily mail. They have a front page claiming borisjohnson was overheard when discussing whether or not to have another lockdown saying, quote, let the bodies piled high in their thousands. Quote, let the bodies piled high in theirthousands. He quote, let the bodies piled high in their thousands. He would rather have that than another lockdown. What is the Governments Response to that . ,. , what is the Governments Response to that . Y. , , what is the Governments Response to that . , Y Y that . They are absolutely denying that . They are absolutely denying that is what that . They are absolutely denying that is what the that . They are absolutely denying that is what the prime that . They are absolutely denying that is what the Prime Minister i that is what the Prime Minister said. Ministers out on the Tv And Radio this morning are saying that as well. Ben wallace, the Defence Secretary, who has known Boris Johnson for a long time, says that is not the borisjohnson he knows. But the issue here is Dominic Cummings, his former chief adviser, who left Downing Street under a bit of a cloud at The End of last year, he is now prepared to hand over the evidence he has of all those sorts of discussions, whether it is e mails or whatsapp, or even rumoured to be audio recordings. He is prepared to hand them over to a parliamentary committee. Also it seems some of his thoughts or what his friends think are making their way into the newspaper. Understanding that breakdown in relations between borisjohnson and Dominic Cummings is crucial to understanding all of the things we have just talked about, because that is why there is so much static in the political ether. It is because a person who knows a lot of things about difficult conversations and discussions in government in the last 18 months is prepared to make quite a lot of trouble for his old boss and he has the evidence. Talking about Simon Case giving evidence to parliament today, Dominic Cummings will be giving evidence to parliament at The End of may and the period between now and Thenis May and the period between now and then is going to be quite tense and quite unpredictable. I think number Tens View is that the public will see this as a disgruntled former employee and may not give it as much attention as politicaljournalist. Adam, good to talk to you. Adam fleming, our political correspondent. Indias Coronavirus Crisis is intensifying. Its recorded another global record of new cases for the fifth day running, with more than 352,000 infections reported in the last 2a hours alone. Hospitals in delhi have completely run out of beds and some are missing critical supplies including oxygen. The uk, along with other countries, is now sending medical aid to india. Our Delhi CorrespondentYogita Limaye reports. The capital is being ravaged at a frightening speed. With every pyre that burns, indias 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 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 Loved Ones who urgently need it. For many here, the governments promises of rushing in oxygen are coming too late. Families are left asking why something so basic is unavailable. Every Crematorium Weve been to, weve seen body after body being brought in. Its hard for anyone to keep count, 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 whove died right now have done so because they couldnt get oxygen in time. This man runs a group of volunteers here. Even young people are dying. It is a very bad situation. If it keeps getting worse, we will have to burn bodies by the side of the road, he says. 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, Bbc News, delhi. Our correspondent Nikhil Inamdar sent this update from miraj in the state of maharashtra. If you just look at the last 2a hours, 352,000 fresh new infections, over 2,800 people losing their lives and according to one report i saw, new infections at the rate of 21t3 every minute, Indias Tally now over 70 Million and this is the fifth straight day of record spikes that we are seeing. In terms of the oxygen situation, its not very good. The demand far, far continues to outstrip supply despite several measures being announced by the government including Running Special Trains and getting in the Air Force to chip in. Sos calls continue on Social Media with hospitals asking, you know, for more supplies of oxygen, saying they barely have a couple of hours left. The Prime Minister has announced in the last 2a hours that he would be setting up new Oxygen Plants in every district in the country but thats not going to help alleviate the immediate situation, the immediate crisis of oxygen that we are facing. The good news really in all of this is that the international communities are now really stepping in in great numbers to try and help india. International efforts are under way to help india, as the country suffers from a surge In Covid cases. Here the uk Defence SecretaryBen Wallace who we heard from a little earlier has been talking about Britains Emergency Relief efforts to help india. Well, i think we should all be concerned and i think its one of the fears that all governments have, which is, you know, managing an outbreak like this, what happens when it hits the Health System and what happens if the Health System starts to become overwhelmed and thats why britain, alongside, i think, the united states and other countries hved been pretty quick to offer our help to india and thats what were going to do. Professor srinath reddy, the president of the public Health Foundation of india, explained when things started going so horribly wrong for the country. Things started going wrong even in february when we recognised that some of the cases because of the british mutant were rising and there were spikes in some of the states which foretold there could be a serious problem for march and april onwards. But i believe there was a wrong perception that india had beaten the pandemic, that we had herd immunity, and different models were presented saying that we would not have a second wave. It was totally incorrect, it was contested by several Public Health Experts but nevertheless, whether it was Industry Leaders who wanted to get the economy rolling back again or it was even the private citizens who wanted to celebrate a return to normal life, and the political establishment across the country, which wanted to get back to the business of elections and campaigning, i think the belief that we had completely ended the pandemic was sort of superimposition of subject to desires over the object of reality. The 93rd Academy Awards were handed out last night. It was a very different Oscars Ceremony than normal, held at Los Angeles Union railway station.

Gyms inside will not be opening in wales until next monday. Although it is a good day for many businesses, you canjust see although it is a good day for many businesses, you can just see over the road here, the restaurant has got no outdoor space, so they cannot open.

So much coverage, i particularly On Friday after those 39 convictions were quashed or people who were wrongly accused and in some cases wrongly imprisoned over accusations of fraud. The Computer System was installed in the Post Office in 1999. Miss vennels was the chief of the Post Office just after the system was installed. But nonetheless the investigation is now on going into how they pursue people who were, in many cases, wrongly convicted of those crimes.

Miss vennels was also a Nonexecutive Director at the supermarket morrisons. She was also a Nonexecutive Director at the Homeware Retailer Dunelm and also a charge of england minister. She will now step down from those roles to focus on the investigation. This morning we have had a further statement and she said she is truly sorry for the suffering caused to the 39 Sub Postmaster is as a result of their convictions that were overturned On Friday. She goes on to say, it is obvious my involvement with the Post Office has become a distraction from the work undertaken by the boards i serve, morrisons, and dunelm and the church, and i have therefore stepped down with immediate effect from my board positions and now intend to focus fully with the ongoing Government Enquiry to ensure affected Sub Postmaster is get the answer is that they deserve.

In one case a woman who was wrongly convicted of stealing from her Post Office, the Post Office that she ran, she was sent to prison was pregnant. She said the stress that put on her and her family, she did consider killing herself as a result of the accusations made against her. She was one of the 39 On Friday who had their conviction overturned and finally cleared her name. She says now she can start to rebuild her life because for so many caught up in this they have criminal convictions and it meant they could not pursue any other career or get anotherjob and in many cases it led to them losing their homes and their businesses as a result of a flawed Computer System that was installed by the Post Office.

Rob gronkowski is an Nfl Star whos won four super bowls, but here he was trying to make a catch from a 640 foot pass. A helicopter above the stadium threw it to him. His first two attempts werent so good, but then on the third, this happened. From more than 600 feet thrown from a helicopter. Big cheers. I dont think its that hard, once you have got your eye in. In my days playing cricket, i probably could have managed that, 100th time lucky probably. Now its time for a look at the weather with carol kirkwood. If you have been looking for rain in the forecast, we have got some showers and rain this week. Today there is a lot of Cloud And Rain across scotland and some of that is heavy and potentially thundery. A bit more cloud getting into Northern Ireland and northern england, turning the sunshine hazy. For the rest of england and wales it is largely dry and quite sunny. Gusty winds through the English Channel with highs of 6 degrees. This evening and overnight the cloud and the rain continues to push steadily southwards across much of the uk, but not arriving in the south east, which is where we will have the lowest temperatures. In rural areas it will be cold enough for a touch of frost. For the rest of the week the temperatures are sliding and on wednesday most of the rain and showers will be in wales and the south west.
