to blackmail some mps seeking to oust borisjohnson is to meet the police to discuss his allegations. william wragg said he'd be speaking to a scotland yard detective in the commons early next week. the prime minister has said he's seen no evidence to support the claims — but mr wragg said he wanted any inquiry to be carried out by "experts". our political correspondent helen catt reports. some of the methods used to persuade mps to follow their party line have always been a bit murky. these extraordinarily public allegations levelled at the government and its whips are serious. that some conservative mps suspected of wanting borisjohnson out have been on the end of attempts to intimidate them, with embarrassing stories in them, with embarrassing stories in the press and threats to

mp, tobias ellwood, said he thought an invasion was now "imminent" and that president vladimir putin was "taking full advantage of a weakened west". it comes as the united states has delivered its first shipment of military cargo to ukraine, for use in the event of a conflict. here's mark lobel. the threat of conflict persists as president putin continues his apparent drive for a new post—cold war settlement. ukraine is proving the biggest foreign policy test for president biden since us troops left afghanistan. he's left the white house for camp david this weekend to meet his national security team and secretary of state antony blinken, who himself is returning from three days of crisis diplomacy. those ended in talks with his russian counterpart in geneva, which didn't get very far. what i think is possible is a negotiation with russia on some new security architecture from your model eras — the inf agreement of the �*80s, under which intermediate and short—range missiles were banned. if the russian issue is the risk in the future of nato missiles on the russian border sitting in ukraine, that would take that away. but, of course, it would mean the russians, too, had to withdraw weapons. in the meantime, ukraine hasjust received from the us 90 tonnes of what america calls lethal aid, including ammunition for ukraine's front—line forces. washington says it's helping ukraine bolster its defences in the face of growing russian aggression. russia denies an invasion is on the cards, but has 100,000 russian troops near ukraine's border in potentially threatening positions, as this map shows. we have seen over the last few months with diplomatic talks failing, putin's ultimatum demanding nato push back. of course, that was dismissed. but that has given him the pretext to actually say there is an aggressor and that he must act. he has actually boxed himself into a corner, because so much effort has been put into this. but he also recognised that he will never again be as strong as this to take advantage of the west's weakness. i suspect an invasion is now imminent. russia sparked this diplomatic conflict. this week, the us showed it's keen to resolve it peacefully. but it remains unclear how far both sides are prepared to go to placate the other. mark lobel, bbc news. former olympic champion cyclist, chris boardman, is to head up a new government body to encourage cycling and walking in england. active travel england aims to improve infrastructure for cyclists and pedestrians, as well as funding projects to enhance air quality. luxmy gopal has more. getting from a to b on foot or by bike is good for our health and the environment. but how good is our infrastructure for pedestrians and cyclists? the issue is being given cash from the government and clout from the former 0lympic cyclist chris boardman. the gold medallist is to become interim commissioner of the government body active travel england. it's been set up to encourage walking and cycling, by inspecting the standards of local highways, insuring major planning applications cater for pedestrians and cyclists, and funding projects to improve air quality. you want places where your kids can walk or ride to school and you can trundle to work on a bike. and to do that, you won't do that unless you feel safe or you can look out the car window and go, that looks quite nice. and that's what this agency will do. the government has also announced today that it's spending £3 million on improving cycling infrastructure around train stations, including secure cycle parking facilities, and £300,000 to subsidise e—cargo delivery bikes for small businesses. this is all part of the £2 billion funding it's already pledged toward cycling and walking schemes over a five—year period. the question is how far that will go in improving infrastructure enough to make walking or cycling safe and practical travel options across the country. luxmy gopal, bbc news. with all the sport now, here's sarah mulkerrins at the bbc sport centre. good afternoon. dan evans — the last of seven british players in the singles at the australian open — has been knocked out at the third round stage. despite competing well in a hard—fought first set, evans was then outclassed by his opponent — canada's felix auger—aliassime — eventually losing 6—4, 6—1, 6—1. here's our correspondent adam wild. the last break standing in the singles at the australian open, and hopes were high that dan evans could carry those hopes into the last 16, given his form this year. his concentration was disturbed early on though by the sound of someone somewhere singing let it be, which could be heard through the loudspeakers, and sung so badly that evans wasn't going to let it be. his service games were heading the right note, though, and he matched the ninth seed felix auger—aliassime for most of the first set until the british number two made sloppy errors and the canadian was able to snatch the set. that seems to knock evans' confidence out of melbourne park, not helped by felix auger—aliassime playing the best tennis he reckoned he never managed to grand slam. the second set gone in a flash. the chance perhaps reverence to regroup and start the fight back, or perhaps not, as felix auger—aliassime dominated the big points when it mattered to run away with a third set, cruising into the fourth round while evans was left to reflect on what might have been. and wilde, bbc news. elswhere in the men's draw, world number two from russia daniil medvedev is safely through to the last 16, and so too is the fourth seed from greece, stefanos tsitsipas. he won in four sets against france's benoit paire. in the women's draw, second seed aryna sabalenka is through to the fourth round, along with poland's iga swiatek who had a comfortable straight sets win against russian daria kasatkina. everton are playing their first match since the sacking of manager rafael benitez last sunday. they're up against aston villa in the premier league's early kick—off at goodison park. duncan ferguson has taken over as caretaker manager. there's about five minues to go until half—time and it remains goalless. there are four more matches today. fourth placed west ham are at manchester united, who are two points below them in seventh. there's not many managers who go to old trafford and find that their team's above them in the premier league over many years, so, you think when sir alex was the manager and how hard it was for anybody to get in front of manchester united. so i'm pleased we're back in front, but what really matters is us getting three points and what matters is that we're ahead of them, certainly come the end of the season. the scottish cup has reached the fourth round stage. later on, aloa atheltic will be hoping to pull of a shock against celtic, who've won the cup no fewer than a0 times. the action is already underway. non—league auchinlech talbot are hosting premiership hearts. about five minutes to go until half time, and it's hearts who have the lead — andy halliday the scorer. they lead 2—0. scotland's scott jamieson is still hanging on to the lead at golf�*s hsbc championship in abu dhabijamieson birdied the last hole to stay top of the leaderboard going into the final round. jamieson is one shot clear of ireland's shane lowry and belgiums' thomas pieters. finally, there was frustration for england's women cricketers overnight with their second ashes t—20 match abandoned due to rain in adelaide. they'd actually made a decent start, after being put into bat, reaching 25 without loss in just over four overs. but then the weather ruled out further play. australia lead the multi format series 3—1, after a thumping win in the first match. there's more on the bbc sport website, including the latest from rugby union's champions cup — bath are taking on leinster right now, but northampton's match and racing 92 has been called off because of covid cases in the saints squad. that's it from me. thank you very much. that's it for now. the next news on bbc one is at ten past five — bye for now. thank past five — bye for now. you for your company. let�* return thank you for your company. let's return to the news that the conservative backbencher who accused downing street of trying to blackmail mps trying to oust boris johnson is meeting with police to discuss his allegations. a barrister part of the nonprofit good law project and his team are looking into what those blackmail claims are and separately are suing the metropolitan police over not investigating claims of lockdown parties at downing street. you make the fact that — parties at downing street. you make the fact that it _ parties at downing street. you make the fact that it is — parties at downing street. you make the fact that it is witness _ the fact that it is witness testimony is nothing surprising if you are a lawyer. you know, in most criminal cases you are not talking about situations where somebody has written a confession or there is video footage of them having done it. it is all about witness statement evidence. chris bryant said he has spoken to about a dozen people who have told him this has happened. he will no doubt been asked to give those names to the police. i know that the editor of conservative home is written about a number of conversations he has had with mps about practices of this nature but i am not pretending to be an investigator. the notion that there is no evidence out there if you care to look for it ijust don't think stands up to examination. in terms of the specific allegations that have been made one now former conservative mp has said that he was told if you don't vote a certain way money will not be forthcoming for your constituency. the government response to that appears to we just don't have the power to do these things. effectively they are kind of employed just to persuade mps to go and vote on the right way, they're not ministers and departments, they're not officials dispersing money. that is the reality of the situation. until someone can provide evidence that funding stopped for something following a vote you don't really have a case, do you? well. really have a case, do you? well, there are — really have a case, do you? well, there are two _ really have a case, do you? well, there are two discrete _ really have a case, do you? well, there are two discrete issues - really have a case, do you? well, | there are two discrete issues here. there is an issue about over vigorous whipping and that issue about over vigorous whipping does have a very important constitutional implications. in our constitution, parliament is supreme and whipping is about transferring the power of parliament into the hands of ministers, into the hands of the executive. and that is a real problem. the question you put to me is a different question. and basically, what you are suggesting to me is that when whips make these threats to mps that funding will be withdrawn from constituency parties, they are fundamentally making it up, they are fundamentally making it up, they are fundamentally making it up, they are telling. it is they are fundamentally making it up, they are telling-— they are telling. it is an empty threat. well, _ they

walkers from the british chamber of commerce and gives an insight into the impact of the rising household price of gas is having on business. first of all, you've got the impact of also getting this price rise and they are going to going to have to pass on those costs to consumers. businesses have already been hit with quite big inflationary rises around paid, around supply chain and around paid, around supply chain and a van shipping said this will be an additional cost on top of that. and the other risk to the economy is about consumers. you know, consumers are rightly worried about what this price rise will mean for them and that may well mean that there is less consumer spending which could impact, you know, really quite a fragile economy is become out of covid. so there is a double impact there for businesses and the economy and i think the chancellor needs to get business and the energy sector round the table to look at what we are going to do for the medium term. he has also got other leavers that he could play so he could look at reducing other increases coming down the track such as the national insurance rise in april. i mean, this is kind _ insurance rise in april. i

say when breakdown in the picture at the bbc, these circumstances you're talking about which are very much within the chancellor �*s control which is the levels at which you tax and in truth, this is what you're asking for, isn't it? a reduction in the business taxes to compensate a bit for some price rises that you cannot do anything about.— do anything about. well, i do think there are levers _

seen a really difficult winter with lots of energy companies going into liquidation. there are things things that can be done to build a stronger and more resilient sector and that needs to be done in partnership with the energy sector and there is, you're absolutely right, another issue which is the cost of doing business is increasing but also the cost of living is increasing for consumers and that is definitely within the control of the chancellor and there's definitely things that can be done but the overall impact of the energy cost is real. white macular walk of the british chambers of
