news. in other news. the prince of wales accepted a payment of one million pounds from the family of osama bin laden according to a report in the sunday times. prince charles accepted the money from two of the infamous al-qaeda leader's half—brothers in 2013, two years after he was killed. our royal correspondentjonny dymond says it doesn't appear that he's done anything technically wrong. there are lots of good, ethical and logical explanations, legal explanations for what's going on. but it is not a good look for the heir to the throne. there's no doubt about that. the palace says this was a decade ago. all the necessary checks were made. you don't disown an entire family because of the actions of one son. and it disputes a lot of the detail in the newspaper stories today, but it does not dispute the donation. and when i asked a source at the palace if he thought that donation would have been made had they known it was going to be made public, there was a very long silence. there's been a drip, drip, drip of revelations about how the prince's charities have raised funds in the past, and it is a very unhappy backdrop to his work.
6:09 pm
the two candidates in the race to be the next leader of the conservative party — and the next prime minister have promised changes to the nhs and the education system, ahead of the next phase of the contest. our political correspondent, ione wells, can tell us more. to start with, rishi sunak has pledged that he would introduce £10 fines for people who miss gp or hospital appointments more than once. in terms of how this would work in practice, his team had said that it would be up to gp surgeries and hospital trusts to use their own discretion and decide if someone had a reasonable excuse or not. but he argued that this policy would reduce some of those backlogs by reducing the number of missed appointments. it has had some criticism though by liz truss's campaign but also by some gps as well who said it would add more bureaucracy and potentially hit some more vulnerable patients more. liz truss said that she would like to reform
6:10 pm
the educational system in england. she wants to move to a system where people apply to university after getting their qualifications, rather than before. she also has quite an intriguing policy that said any student who gets the top grade would automatically be invited to interview oxford or cambridge. also today we have seen further backing for liz truss, what does that mean for rishi sunak�*s campaign? there was an intervention today by brandon lewis, he has said that he is going to back liz truss and its leadership contest. earlier he told the bbc some of the reasons behind that. i'm backing liz because she is somebody that gets things done. she is determined by delivering to the whole of the united kingdom, i've seen that working for northern ireland, the determination to making sure that whole and the unionist party and i think that's usually important. i've known liz a long time, we've worked together and what i've
6:11 pm
consistently see is somebody who cares about her community, or country and her colleagues and wants to get things done. i'm supporting this because i think she could bring the party together, she's having a backing from all different parts of our great wide open ten of a party. she gets things done. that's the two former northern ireland secretary on why he's back in liz truss was up he was critical of rishi sunak claiming earlier when he endorsed liz truss @ rishi sunak had potentially put up barriers towards plans to override part of the northern island protocol, part of the brexit deal signed with the eu. rishi sunak scam have strongly denied that saying rishi sunak is pledged to continue with those plans if the eu does not negotiate new arrangement to try and sort out some of the issues with train between great britain and northern ireland. both camps obviously as we discussed this weekend putting out lots of policy announcements to try and woo over members. that's because ballots go out to conservative party members tomorrow. there's an expectation that
6:12 pm
while this campaign is getting along for weeks to come next week is really crucial, lots of members expected to go quite early. our political correspondent speaking to me earlier on. detectives in lincolnshire are continuing to hold a man they arrested yesterday afternoon on suspicion of murdering a nine—year old girl. lillia was stabbed while playing in a town centre street on thursday. today, police have been searching near the scene of the killing. jake zuckerman has the latest. police in boston two days searching in back gardens and drains. just a few hundred yards away from where on thursday nine—year—old was killed. meanwhile, a house opposite boston central park remained cordoned off as forensic investigators worked inside. this is a town where all too often the focus of been on the

6:15 pm
but this court victory is not the end of the road. the post office took hundreds of thousands of pounds from subpostmasters like richard to cover what looked like shortfalls at branches, leaving people financially ruined. imprisoned while pregnant, sima lost her home too. she's been cleared for a year but hasn't got a settlement from the post office yet. no money can replace the damage that's been done by the post office to us. but at least we can build a bit of a life together back home. where we're supposed to be. sharon was a subpostmaster in sunderland, accused of theft by the post office, and only survived thanks to money from her family. i want my life back. i want to be able to walk about and hold my head up and say finally, no, they paid me, i got compensation because they did me wrong. what's the post office view about that? the chair of the public inquiry into this scandal was so concerned about slow progress around compensation that he held the post office's feet to the fire in a special hearing. the post office have been forced to admit to this inquiry that they hadn't expected
6:16 pm
the thousands of applications for compensation, that they didn't have enough staff processing the claims, that they've just been dealing with the simple refunds first, and that hundreds of victims haven't yet received an initial offer of compensation. but pressure from the inquiry seemed to be working. in parliament there was good news for 500 subpostmasters who have been excluded from full compensation. postmasters will be contacted in the coming weeks to submit an application, after which we aim to distribute the funds within a few weeks of receiving that application. but since the cabinet reshuffle a few weeks ago, there is now a new minister in charge. jane hunt says she's keen to press on but refused an interview with me about the issue of compensation. in what's now become a scandal within a scandal, victims are running out money and time while the complicated compensation process grinds slowly on. colletta smith, bbc news.

the city of mykolaiv in the south of ukraine has come under sustained attack from russian missiles overnight. the city's mayor said it was probably the heaviest bombardment since the start of the invasion in february. among the casualties is one of ukraine's richest businessmen. ukrainian media say he was killed along with his wife when a missile hit their home overnight. in italy, the death of a migrant who was attacked in broad daylight has sparked outrage. the assault on the nigerian street trader in chiveetanova march—ah was captured on video. a 32—year—old italian has been arrested on suspicion of murder and robbery. search and rescue crews continue to look for survivors in the us state of kentucky, where record flooding has wiped out entire communities.
6:18 pm
at least 26 people have died — although the state's governor warned the number could rise. president biden has declared the floods "a major disaster" and there's a warning of more rain today. our north america correspondent, peter bowes, has the latest. flowing water, powerful enough to sweep away entire homes. torrential rain has wreaked havoc. some areas received more than 20 centimetres in a 24—hour period. swollen streams and mudslides have torn through several communities with devastating results. people's lost their homes, can't get to theirjobs. i mean, it's devastating. this is probably the worst devastating i have ever seen. some areas are difficult for rescuers to reach because local roads have been badly damaged and are impassable. cars engulfed in the muddy waters. there is widespread poverty in the affected areas. making matters worse, tens of thousands of people are now without electricity.
6:19 pm
the biggest concern is the many people who are still missing. we continue to pray for the families that have suffered an unfathomable loss, some having lost almost everyone in their household. this is still an emergency situation. we are in search—and—rescue mode. again, that count will continue to go up. we don't lose this many people in flooding. this is a real tough one. rescuers fear the search for survivors and bodies could last several weeks. just coming out with breaking news. bbc want to look at the pictures and england have scored in the euro 2020 two final. that's1— 02 england. as the lionesses scored. theyjust scored in the past few moments. huge
6:20 pm
celebrations as you can hear they are in wembley stadium. the crowd erupted in for that and there we have it. it is a chip over the keeper they are into the goal. scoring and look at that, the celebrations are epic. and that is it. england are on top in the euro 2022 final. it has been a nail—biting match. and they have just scored. breaking news they are, the lionesses have scored. on two other news now. on two other news now. the uk met office says the first 6 months of the year in england were the driest since 1976 and it means farmers up and down the country are facing
6:21 pm
problems with their crops. the national drought group is considering tough restrictions. paul murphy reports. they are half the size and there are half as many. andrew branton's potato crop has been hit hard by the driest growing season in more than a0 years. by the time you've peeled it or done anything to prepare it, you won't have much left. this corner of england supplies veg to the nation. but andrew says this year's harvest is nothing less than a disaster. there's just no way that crops in the uk can cope with the climate we've had this year, lack of water, intense temperatures. you can't reverse this process. and this isn'tjust yourfarm, andrew. we can be confident this is replicated throughout the east of england in similar crops. absolutely, yeah. and of course the east of england grows predominately most of the uk's crops of this nature. the scorched landscape tells some of the story, though we are not yet
6:22 pm
in an official drought. yorkshire water says its supplies are slightly lower than normal and is urging its customers to save water where they can. anglian water says it doesn't envisage a hosepipe ban because its storage systems are working well. it's the driest that it's been since 1976 and just this month we've only had about 4% of the rainfall we would normally expect in july. we're not worried for this year but it would give us cause for concern if we had a further dry winter looking into spring and summer for next year. river levels, though, are getting low, especially in lincolnshire, and that can be a threat to wildlife. the environment agency says it's now considering emergency restrictions on the businesses and farms that are normally allowed to take water from these rivers. the environment agency's map shows rainfall for the three months up until the end ofjune. the green shows normal levels, and all of yorkshire and lincolnshire is yellow
6:23 pm
or orange, well below average. we have regular discussions with anglian water about our water usage and we are very conscious of trying to minimise the amount we are using. so we are not watering everything every day. we are carefully looking at what is needed and we are just watering those individual plants as they require it, so that's saving us a significant amount of water. vast swathes of europe that grow this particular type of crop have experienced just as bad if not worse weather. so i think the actual problem will be over the whole european continent. it's quite serious. it's too late for this crop. rain and lower temperatures are badly needed if the so—called breadbasket of england is to produce enough food for all of us in the months ahead. they are all too small. paul murphy, bbc news, spalding. one effect of the covid—19 pandemic has been on the levels of literacy among pre—school age children with many missing out on social interaction.
6:24 pm
a project by the national literacy trust is trying to close the gap as nicola haseler has been finding out. these early years spent largely with their parents will shape these children's future attainment. it's now that they learn the foundations of communicating. but during the pandemic parents found it harder to find time to talk to their child. a quarter reported they didn't chat with their child at least once a day. this early words together programme run by the national literacy trust targets children who need support with their language and works with their parents to increase communication at home. it is difficult at times. it is a struggle but she is really good with the baby, so we try
6:25 pm
and do it as three of us when we are all at home. this group has increased her confidence. starting this she was very shy and now she is confident. of course many of these children spent their first years in lockdown. i think she is genuinely shy. the pandemic didn't help because she was at home with me, so she got used to that. he is a lockdown baby. because of covid he didn't have much interaction with adults. he finds it difficult to communicate so he uses his actions more than anything. but he has recently started talking because of the sessions. here in bedford 30% of five—year—olds don't have the expected level of vocabulary by the time they reach school. that rises to 50% of those receiving free school meals. education data shows that the bigger the gap now, the harder it is to catch up later.
6:26 pm
research tells us that children that have a lower vocabulary at age five do less well in literacy attainment later on. it is even linked to economic status at the age of 30. it is important. we know during the pandemic that that has had a negative impact on the most disadvantaged children, so that gap is even wider. and that is why programmes like this exist, to encourage those early everyday conversations, giving these children the confidence to express themselves. thousands of people take part in their local park run every weekend — but one man really has gone the extra mile. 92—year—old arthur already has 51 marathons and four world veteran championships under his belt but he's not stopping there as suzanne hailey has been finding out.
6:27 pm
he's here every week. today is an amazing milestone for him. today is his 300th park run, which i think you can agree, is phenomenal. cheering and applause. phenomenal and inspirational. cheers and applause for 92—year—old arthur ahead of his 300th park run. he likes to complete the run in an hour but says his main target now is getting round the course. and it's nice to think that me running encourages people who have just started to keep on going. arthur takes part in this 5k event every week. running is something he's always done and he's not planning to stop anytime soon. the former champion has been running for more than 70 years, completing 51 marathons in that time. he estimates he's run around 150,000 miles over the course of his life. keep going, arthur! well done. we've come down to support family
6:28 pm
but we are also seeing arthur taking part in it. it'sjust, it's commendable what he's doing for his age, it really is. come on, arthur, you've got it. i think everyone cheers him on. i suppose he's a bit— of a celebrity at this park run. i'm going to get to half his age and if i'm still running by then i'll be impressed. 92 and doing that, i think it's an inspiration to all of us. he never stops, never gives up. it's really, really cool. for him being 92 and still going on, it's amazing. it's his life, basically. his whole week revolves around this. he reckons a day without a run is a day wasted. on the finish line, a celebratory guard of honour as his family and fellow runners cheer him on. i do it because i've been doing it for 72 years and i've always run. i only run about three or four times a week now. but it's part of my life, like you get up and have your breakfast, i get up and sometimes go for a run. it's something i've always done. have you got any plans to hang your trainers up any time soon? i don't think so, no. i will run while i can.
6:29 pm
