7:13 pm
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. 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, told my colleague frankie mccamley more about this earlier. to start with, rishi sunak has pledged that he would introduce £10 fines for people who miss gp or hospital appointments more than once.
7:14 pm
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 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,
7:15 pm
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 about 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 consistently see is somebody who cares about her community, her 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
7:16 pm
he's back in liz truss. 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 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. the chair of the public inquiry investigating the post office scandal has called for the process of compensation for victims to be sped up. more than 600 subpostmasters were given criminal convictions when a faulty it system made it look like money was missing from their branches 81 people have now had their convictions quashed. our consumer affairs correspondent
7:17 pm
colletta smith reports? delight at the court of appeal as the record is set straight. after all this time now the weight has been lifted. but this court victory isn't 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, seema 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 whatever damage been done by post office to us, but at least we were able to put our life together, back home like we know 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 aye. finally no.
7:18 pm
they paid me. i got compensation because they did me wrong. what's the post office knew 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 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. they have supported... postmaster pressure from the inquiry seemed to be working in parliament. there was good news for 500 subpostmasters who've been excluded from full compensation. postmasters will become contacted in the coming weeks to submit an application after which we aim to distribute the distribute the funds within a few weeks of receiving that application. but since the cabinet reshuffle a few weeks ago, there's now a new minister in charge.
7:19 pm
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 of 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. search and rescue crews continue to look for survivors in the us state of kentucky, where record flooding has wiped out entire communities. 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"
7:20 pm
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. the biggest concern is the many
7:21 pm
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. scenes like this are becoming more familiar. this part of kentucky has had flash floods before but nothing on this scale. we didn't have no time to get nothing out of my little apartment in the basement. i lost everything, twice. this makes twice that i've lost everything. and i ain't the only one. we're going to have to have some help, more than what they brung in here the last flood.
7:22 pm
president biden has declared a disasterfor the area, freeing up funds and equipment to help. but the worst may not be over with more rain expected early next week. this is, according to experts in kentucky, another glimpse into the future, becoming hotter and wetter due to climate change. peter bowes, bbc news. hello we will take you straight to wembley because we do have an update. england have scored, they have taken the lead in the last minute or so. they are now 2—1 up against germany in extra time in the final, chloe kelly with the goal, a corner for england. final, chloe kelly with the goal, a cornerfor england. this game, england took the lead in normal during a normal time, england took the lead in normal during a normaltime, germany equalised on it went the extra time, first half of extra time, no go, second half of extra time, which is what we are in right now england had just taken the lead through the back chloe kelly goal after in england corner. it has been an extraordinary

tournament and it is not disappointing in the final. it is an extraordinary match now. that record crowd, 87,000 fans inside wembley in west london enjoying probably these last few moments. certainly a lot happier now, a majority of those england fans a lot happier now that england fans a lot happier now that england have nudged in front put up everyone's mind has been on penalties. of course quite a history between england and germany when it comes to penalty shoot—out in football. that looks less likely now. germany had it all to do. they need to equalise in the last few minutes of extra time to take it to penalty. but as things stand, england are on their way to win euro 2022. i don't want to say absolute but there are a few minutes ago. we will keep you across events in
7:24 pm
wembley if there are any more goals or at that time was old. parts of beirut�*s huge port grain silos which were badly damaged in the deadly 2020 explosion, have collapsed after a long running fire. video shows a massive cloud of dust after the collapse of the northern block. it's not yet clear if anyone has been injured. the fires are believed to have been caused by fermenting grain and efforts to fight them proved ineffective. the enormous explosion at the lebanese port two years ago left more than 200 people dead and 7,000 injured. our bbc middle east correspondent, lina sinjab, gave us an update on the situation in beirut. this fire has been ongoing for weeks. people were seeing some kind of orange smoke coming out through the silos warning that they might collapse at any minute with little efforts from the government to protect or prevent anything from happening. now we know that the
7:25 pm
police are on scene trying to stop the damage. for many lebanese a little too late, this has been ongoing for a long and is part of a whole system that is inefficient and unsatisfying and completely miss management by the government. they blame for the episode today but for the whole countries collapse, the economies collapse even the investigation into the port explosion two years long got nowhere. the latest from beirut. the former president of the philippines, fidel ramos, has died. he was ninety four. he leaves behind a complex legacy in the country, which emer mccarthy explains. a warning this report contains flashing images. he earned a reputation as one of the
