heartbreak at the death for scotland, 100 minute goal, their performance wasn't what it should have been, a lot reminiscent of what england fans would have seen against denmark on thursday, no shot on target within the 90 minutes, they battled time and again but couldn't really create the chances. adams was poor up front. however much they tried, they couldn't get what they needed to do done. this tried, they couldn't get what they needed to do done.— tried, they couldn't get what they needed to do done. this goal came dee into needed to do done. this goal came deep into injury _ needed to do done. this goal came deep into injury time _ needed to do done. this goal came deep into injury time towards - needed to do done. this goal came deep into injury time towards the l deep into injury time towards the end of the match.— end of the match. scotland and hunua end of the match. scotland and hungary had — end of the match. scotland and hungary had a _ end of the match. scotland and hungary had a similar- end of the match. scotland and hungary had a similar plan, - end of the match. scotland and hungary had a similar plan, for| end of the match. scotland and - hungary had a similar plan, for the first 75 minutes keeping the game tight under the control, go for it later on. it was too late, clarke

hickey can help them in 2026 and 2028 and steve clarke will still believe he is the best man for the job. let's speak to bbc scotland's phil mcdonald, who's in a fanzone in aberdeen. they will feel incredibly down about that result, agonising wait to and the euro 2024 campaign for steve clark double men, quite an atmosphere at this fan zone, joys with thoughts of singing, joining in with thoughts of singing, joining in with lots of the songs being belted out from the terraces in germany, people getting into the spirit, dancing, kicking every ball with the team, wasn't enough. looking out onto the crowd here, the faces of
10:05 pm
those watching the game at full—time, devastation, the late goal going and ending the campaign for scotland, the campaign that promised so much going into tonight's game, a chance to get four points, potentially put themselves in with a chance of getting out of the group, was not to be, the mood here, just devastation, as i said. no shortage of support, always a fantastic group of fans who follow their team around the world but where do scotland need to make changes? where do scotland need to make chances? , ., , where do scotland need to make chances? , . , changes? there will be a big debate about the future _ changes? there will be a big debate about the future of _ changes? there will be a big debate about the future of the _ changes? there will be a big debate about the future of the team - changes? there will be a big debate about the future of the team and i changes? there will be a big debate| about the future of the team and the direction that we go and now, the same conversation happened after euro 2020 and will no doubt happen again but it is fair to say one of the positives of this campaign has been scotland's supporters, who travelled in huge numbers over to

10:07 pm
in the ground that faulted. it then sent a surge of power across the network. the vast majority of our systems we recovered quickly, but unfortunately two critical systems to do with our baggage system and screening people's hold baggage and our security systems didn't come back up and, as a result, in terminals one and two, we weren't able to depart flights until this afternoon. paul charles, who's the ceo of the travel consultancy firm, the pc agency, explained the scale of the disruption. 90,000 people were due to arrive or depart today. some 25% of flights were cancelled, so between 25,000 and 30,000 people overall were not able to fly, which is hugely embarrassing for an airport that prides itself on the seamlessness of its processes. how big is at the financial impact for everyone affected? for the airport itself, the compensation bill is likely to run into several million pounds. when you're cancelling so many flights, 80—90 flights over a 24—hour period,
10:08 pm
that is a lot of money lost by the airport. of course, it is also the passengers who are affected, and you heard some of them there. they are angry, quite emotional, understandably, this sort of situation when they have saved up many hundreds or thousands of plans situation when they have saved up many hundreds or thousands of pounds to travel and can't at the last minute. they will obviously try to seek compensation from their airline and get a refund on the flight that was cancelled or be put on the next available flight, which the airline has to do. but undoubtedly the compensation bill will be several million pounds. talk us through some of the challenges logistically to turn the situation around. and what they'll prioritise. i think first of all it is the right thing to do that at the boss of manchester airport, chris woodroofe is apologising as quickly as possible. he did the right thing, it was a airport's fault that this power cable field,
10:09 pm
but what needs to be asked is why there was no back—up system. if the fundamental passenger processing systems and computers go down when a power outage occurs, there should be a back—up, fail—safe, so that is the first question that needs to be asked. this happened at one end, it is difficult this happened at 1am, it is difficult that time of the morning, 1am, it is hard for them to get hold of all the airlines, all the suppliers at that time in the morning, so what would have been happening as thousands of people starting to turn up who were leaving, departing from manchester this morning, turning up at three or 4am and they would not have heard from their airline that their flight would have been cancelled — normally, they might have got advance notice, but there is no way their airlines would have got the message out at that time of the morning, so that is why the queues were snaking, increasing during the morning.
10:10 pm
and manchester airport had no choice but to cancel as many flights as possible. gunmen have attacked two orthodox churches, a synagogue and a police checkpoint in the southern russian republic of dagestan, which has been a target of islamist attacks in the past. the local interior ministry said six police officers were killed and another 12 were wounded in the cities of derbent and makhachkala, both on the caspian sea. state media is reporting that a russian orthodox priest has also been killed. russia says it has shot dead four attackers and completed its operation. earlier, i spoke to my colleague at the bbc russian service, famil ismailov, who gave me this update. we know a few hours back a group of assailants attacked at least two churches in makhachkala, the capital of the republic of dagestan, and a church and a synagogue in a smaller town not farfrom makhachkala in derbent.
10:11 pm
the synagogue started burning. in at least one church attack we know a priest was killed. overall we know of of nine killed people at the moment, some policeman who engaged the attackers. we have at least 6—10, sorry, 25 wounded, injured people, we don't know how badly. what are the authorities saying about the attacks, who carried them out? there seems to be some misinformation floating about. there is but there was a counterterrorist operation in both cities, lots of military hardware, armoured vehicles, internal troops involved. the assailants are locked in makhachkala, we don't know how the stand—off continues but a shoot
10:12 pm
out there at the moment. we definitely know that some of the news, 40—60 hostages in one of the churches, was untrue. that was refuted. but we know one of the priests was killed, not confirmed, apparently had his throat cut. some acknowledgement of what kind of attack that could have been. what does this tell you, famil, about the preparedness of russia for attacks on its soil? just a few months back at the beginning of the year we saw in the attack on crocus city hall near moscow were dozens, hundreds of people,
10:13 pm
almost 200 were killed. innocent people who just came to watch a concert. what we know, the involvement of muslim tajik migrants in that particular case, and we don't know what new evidence that has come to light. to think ukraine is involved in crocus as they insist. we have seen russia so much involved in the ukrainian war, so much of its force, they did not have enough people or systems, procedures to counter any islamist attack. we know the attack on the crocus city hall, the islamic state announced it was their attack. in this case in makhachkala and derbent we do not know who was behind it so the question still remains, was it connected to islamic terrorists
10:14 pm
or islamism in general? this is dagestan, islamic republic, the majority of the population are conservative muslims. we don't know what is behind these particular attacks but we know russia in the crocus has a weak point that any islamic terrorist organisations could use for their benefit. the government of saudi arabia has given the first official death toll
10:15 pm
for this year's hajj pilgrimage to mecca, which took place during an extreme heatwave. the health ministry said at least 1,301 people had died. it said more than 80% of the dead were unregistered, meaning they did not have official permits to be there, and had no access to facilities such as air conditioned tents and official transport. health facilities treated nearly half a million pilgrims who had walked long distances in searing heat with no shelter. the health ministry said some are still in hospital receiving treatment. temperatures in mecca climbed as high as 51.8 degrees celcius. saudi arabia has been criticised for not doing more to make the hajj safer. the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has said the phase of intense fighting against hamas is coming to an end. but he added the war would not finish until the islamist group no longer controls the gaza strip. in the latest fighting, eight palestinians have been killed in an israeli air strike on a training college near gaza city which was being used to distribute aid. witnesses say the strike hit part of a college run by the un palestinian refugee agency unrwa which is providing aid to displaced families. russia has said it holds the united states responsible,
10:16 pm
after a missile fired by ukraine killed at least five people in occupied crimea. according to moscow, more than a hundred others were injured when missile fragments hit a crowded beach near sevastopol. the governor of crimea, which was annexed by russia in 2014, said four us supplied missiles had been intercepted by air defences but a fifth had detonated in the air. tv footage showed people running from a beach. 0ur security correspondent, gordon corera, told me more about moscow's response to this missile attack on crimea. moscow is claiming that the us and ukraine are responsible for this. ukraine and the us haven't commented on that, but moscow's claim is that five ataka missiles were fired towards crimea. four of them were shot down by air defences, by russian air defences, but one, they say, detonated mid—air, raining shrapnel down on a local beach, and tv footage does show people running away, it appears, in panic from that beach.
10:17 pm
not likely to have been the target, probably a military target nearby was the intended place where those missiles were heading for. the russian authorities, saying a number of children were among those killed and a large number wounded. significant, i think, that russia is trying to hold the us accountable for this and saying that it was us specialists, as they put it, who programmed the co—ordinates for these missile strikes based on us satellite data. so suggesting that these are us—supplied weapons and the details of how they're used are also coming from washington and the us. even though it's a ukrainian attack, the russian authorities are saying they hold the us responsible and that they'll be raising this with the international community. but as i said, no word from ukraine or washington in response
10:18 pm
to those russian claims. and of course, president zelensky for a long time has been arguing for more support, more defensive support and also more latitude in how the ukrainians use what's supplied by their allies. yes. the claim from the russians here is that so—called ataka missiles were used. these are supplied by the us and they have a longer range, about 300 kilometres, and they're something ukraine considers very important to be able to hit deeper targets in russian—controlled territory, including russia—annexed crimea, able to hit some of the supply lines and military bases to prevent the russians moving forward. so those are a significant weapon system that ukraine has and has been using. also, ukraine are after air defences because it's being hit as well. kharkiv, the country's second largest city, was hit again today by russian glide
10:19 pm
bombs, after yesterday a residential building was struck. and so ukraine both calling for those offensive weapons to hit russian lines, but also the defensive weapons it says it needs, such as patriot and other air defence systems to deal with those russian attacks. 0ur security correspondent, gordon corera. supporters of more than two— hundred women's rights organisations in france have taken to the streets of paris to protest against the far—right national rally party. it's doing well in opinion polls before next week's elections. demonstrators allege the party will erode women's rights but it denies this. 0ur reporter meghan 0wen explained why they were protesting. well, it's clear that there was a lot of anger on the streets of paris today. there were lots of impassioned banners, including one that said it's not women that are fragile, but their rights. and there were lots of chants, including feminists united against the far right.
10:20 pm
well, what does that mean? so there's a lot of concern that if the national rally party forms the next government, they will incite a climate of hate that will affect women and minority groups. there's also a lot of concern about their policies on equal pay and abortion. now, of course, this is something the national rally led by a woman, marine le pen, completely denies. and actually, interestingly, earlier this week, jordan bardella, who's the parliamentary leader of the party, said that they'll introduce tougher sentences for violence against women, but also that they would protect women against what he called foreign criminals. now, the organiser of today's rally said that he was just trying to convince women that the safety problem lies with immigration, which isn't true. and she said that among the immigrants, there are actually a large number of women that are vulnerable. and, of course, feminists will be quick to point out that a lot of the domestic violence in france is happening at home and not because of immigration. well, today there was a huge emphasis on minority groups. so let's listen to one
10:21 pm
protestor earlier. i'm here because i'm a woman and i don't want my rights to be taken from me because some far right movement wants to take the power in france. and i want also to show that they are not welcome here. and i want to fight for those who can't fight, the people from the lg bt. so what is the national rally party doing to try to attract female voters ? well, interestingly, they're in quite a contrast to what we saw today on the streets of paris. one study said that actually more women than men voted for the national rally party in the recent european parliamentary elections. and because of that, the party is trying desperately to gain votes from those women. now, feminists are arguing that actually the party is exploiting women's rights in order to advance their agenda. now, of course, they're
10:22 pm
the biggest opponent, opponent to president macron's party, the renaissance group, and he believes that he's the president who's most consistently defended women with his policies. but either way, the women and the protesters today willjust hope that women and women's rights will be at the forefront of discussion ahead of the upcoming election. there's been an angry reaction in india to the health ministry cancelling a crucial entrance test withjust 12 hours' notice. the decision to delay postgraduate medical course exams was made after allegations of irregularities and cheating in other nationwide tests. more than 200,000 doctors had registered to take part. the government has been facing growing criticism over what's been seen as lack of oversight and integrity in handling the tests.
10:23 pm
the former scotland and liverpool great alan hansen has been discharged from hospital after an undisclosed illness. his family say that the 69—year—old, a former match of the day pundit, will "continue his recovery at home" and that the messages of support have been "overwhelming and helped enormously". the world intelligence expo has been taking place in china, these robots have been playing football, making coffee, creations shown off to a crowd of purists. and, finally, a gentoo penguin chick has hatched at an aquarium in the north east of england. simon spark has been to meet the new arrival. at the deep in hull, there's plenty of excitement
10:24 pm
in the penguin enclosure, notjust because it's feeding time. it's because there is now more chicks to feed. more beaks to feed. stanley has just become a proud father and nessie is keeping her latest arrival warm and protected. because this little thing hatched on sunday, 9june. the first gentoo chick born here in five years. it's quite rare. we have a small colony of 14 and not everyone is paired together. you have unsuccessful hatches and non—incubated eggs and crushed eggs, damaged eggs and you go through a few processes and stages to get to a successful hatch and even then the first week or so, which, unfortunately, we have now passed can be quite critical for the development as well of the chick. because mum has tucked away in the corner they have set up a special camera so we can have a look closely and nessie has stood up for usjust so we can have a look at her chick. just a little peek at a little beak.
10:25 pm
it seems nessie and stanley have all the gentoos busy here, with plenty of nest—building. but to find out whether this is a boy or a girl they will need to do a dna test because it is too difficult to tell. at that point, they could give this little chick a name. simon spark, bbc news. ican i can see a naming contest coming on. stay with us here on bbc news. we've had a taste of summer this weekend, and that summer heat is going to be continuing into the start of next week, but it doesn't mean it's going to be sunny the whole time. many of us saw quite a lot of cloud on sunday. this was the view in gloucestershire. but if you did manage to get that sunshine coming through, well, it definitely looked like a picture postcard here in worthing. now, over the next few days, yes,
10:26 pm
that heat is going to be building and we will continue to see some sunny spells. a little bit of rain in the forecast is possible. as we head through this evening and overnight, it is going to be a very, very mild night with temperatures quite uncomfortable for some. generally clear skies, maybe a little bit of cloud across some central and eastern areas, and those temperatures maybe not falling any lower than 16 across some southern parts. even further north, nine or ten celsius, still very mild. monday morning, then, might start off with a little bit of mistiness in place. we have this weather front which is just trying to edge into northern ireland, parts of western scotland, so here perhaps a bit more in the way of cloud and some drizzle. plenty of dry and fine weather across northern parts of england and temperatures widely in the mid—20s in celsius, 24, 25 celsius. some parts of aberdeenshire might even make 26 celsius through tomorrow afternoon. pollen levels generally going to be very high across the uk — if you're a hay fever sufferer, you don't need me to tell you that. then as we head through monday and into tuesday, we have this cold front still trying
10:27 pm
to make its way in. high pressure trying to keep it at bay, but that cold front will eventually bring quite a bit more cloud to many northern parts of the uk. further south, some blue skies coming through. generally it's going to be dry, but that front mayjust give a few showers from scotland extending down into northern england. and you can see the temperature difference where that front comes through. temperatures around 14 celsius here. further south of that front, still 26 to 28 celsius, so feeling quite oppressively hot, certainly getting that way across some southern parts. a change is on the way, though. you can see this area of low pressure just trying to spiral in as we head through wednesday, but it will take its time. so wednesday is looking generally like a mostly dry day with some sunny spells, but it will start to turn wetter as we head towards the end of the week.
10:28 pm
10:29 pm
a goalfrom hungary in injury time sealed scotland's fate. heartbreak, heartbreak
10:30 pm
for the scots. bitter disappointment for all the fans watching back at home. alleged betting on the date of the general election — the gambling commission is looking into more people than those named so far. and, manchester airport starts to return to normal, after a power cut caused disruption for tens of thousands of passengers. good evening. scotland have crashed out of the euros, after losing 1—0 to hungary — who snatched a goal in the 100th minute of the match. the result means scotland finish bottom of their group, leaving fans disappointed as they failed to secure a spot in the final 16. 0ur sports correspondentjane dougall was watching in stuttgart.
