interpretation and remain firmly convinced that of the validity of their arguments, the club president says they can now face the field and not on the card. now, lassies and they were punished domestically over past transfer dealings and handed a ten point penalty in their domestic league that saw them finish seven. this does mean that they will miss european football for the first time since 2011 or 2012 and it's expected now that fiorentino who finished as runners—up will replacejuventus in the conference league as a result. as you mentioned, in a separate judgment, chelsea have also received a fine of $11 million. that's for incomplete financial reports between 2012 and 2019. they are still permitted to play in european football, although they didn't qualify for their domestic league this year. qualify for their domestic league this ear. . ~ qualify for their domestic league this ear. ., ~ , ., qualify for their domestic league this ear. ., . ., this year. thank you so much for brinuain this year. thank you so much for bringing us _ this year. thank you so much for bringing us up — this year. thank you so much for bringing us up to _ this year. thank you so much for bringing us up to date _ this year. thank you so much for bringing us up to date there - this year. thank you so much for bringing us up to date there on | this year. thank you so much for. bringing us up to date there on the neck at our support centre. bringing you up—to—date on that developing straight from the ukrainian city of

7:41 pm
residential building, a multistory building. the bbc team that are at the scene say that they have seen the scene say that they have seen the top floor of that tower block almost completely destroyed, and we are getting information now from the afp news agency that is saying that there are at least three wounded in that missile strike, but it is or was 830 in the evening local time when it did occur, many people will have been at home. we understand it's a multistory residential building, but the information we have so far is that there are three people wounded, although the bbc team are on the ground and have arrived at the scene and say they saw the top floor of that tower block almost completely destroyed. there is no information as of yet about any casualties, but we understand that there are three people injured, emergency services
7:42 pm
are at the scene, but we are also being told that the police have moved journalists and the public back from the scene and the local administration are asking people not to spread misinformation. we are waiting to get more information about those two loud explosions which were heard in the eastern ukrainian city of dnipro just over an hour ago local time, 830 in the evening. we are also getting more information about another developing story, we have been reporting it here for the last few days about the coup in niger. they have condemned any effort to seize power by force and disrupt constitutional order. we were talking about the coup that has taken place in niger. the president still remains inside his home. he is
7:43 pm
believed to have spoken to the french president, emmanuel macron, and said he is in good health and the general that has led to this coup has said that he is now the caretaker of niger. at the white house has said that it is condemning any effort to seize power by forests and to disrupt constitutional orders there. let's see if we can show you some images from some of the demonstrator is and the arsonists who wear outside parliament over the last few days, so we can see some of the buildings there on fire in the capital, the capital of niger, vehicles have been set alight and the president remains holed up in his residence with his family, although, we did hear that he spoke
7:44 pm
to the french president, emmanuel macron, and said that he is in good health. the white house has said any military takeover would undermine niger's authority as a regional leader. he also heard in the last few days from and blinking, the secretary committee by secretary of state saying that they are asking for this to stop and for the president to be reinstated. the white house also said that we believe there is space for diplomacy, and that is being actively preceded to bring an end to this coup attempt. the united states as it remains deeply concerned by the developments in niger in the wake of that military coup and condemned any effort to seize power by force, that's according to the white house national security service. the less cooperation with the government of the african state was at risk while adding there was
7:45 pm
still room for diplomacy, so that is some of the new signs that are coming in from the white house and the national security spokesperson has said that the united states remains deeply concerned by the developments in niger in the wake of that military coup, and they say that military coup, and they say that they condemned any efforts to seize power by forests. so there are just some lines coming in. we know that the president, the ousted president says that he is and good health. he spoke to the us secretary of state. we are following developments there in niger very closely. we also have information on our website for soap to go to the live page to learn more. you are watching bbc news.
7:46 pm
the chancellor, jeremy hunt, says no decisions have been made about the delayed compensation for victims of the contaminated blood scandal. thousands of people died in the 1970s and 1980s after they developed hiv and hepatitis c through blood they were given. well mr hunt— who is also a former health secretary — has been giving evidence at the inquiry. he reflected on the speed of the government's action — and the potential costs. i know this will disappoint people listening, but there are some very big recommendations notjust in terms of the amount and money involved, but for example the idea that the amount should be decided by an independent arm's—length body, without any reference to ministers. we have to think through how the accountability of that would work, i'm not aware of that structure ever having happened before, but this is obviously the taxpayers money and these
7:47 pm
are potentially very, very large sums of money. gina miller — who made her name taking the government to court over brexit — says the bank account belonging to her political party is being closed, and that she wasn't originally offered an explanation. her complaint comes after the former ukip leader nigel farage forced coutts to reveal that it closed his account, partly for political reasons. earlier we spoke to gina miller, she told us why she thought this was such an issue. there is a big problem here but the government has to address, which is access for people to enter their political arena and exercise their civic responsibility and duty. but when it comes to this particular case, it was monzo's error, because on their application form, there was no option for political party or political organisation. the closest that we ticked was campaign or campaigning groups. you have to supply your website address and your e—mail address, and it was plain from those
7:48 pm
that we were a political party. but this is not, and i must stress this, this is not an issue just about monzo. this is the entire banking sector who are denying people, like political parties, access. i think it's a really important issue that we address this, which is why i am speaking out, because if you can't have access to banking facilities at a time when voters are saying, "we don't trust most of the mainstream parties, we want an alternative." but those alternative voices are not allowed into the political arena. how can we possibly have a properly functioning democracy is made even worse than that, what we have been told by several banking institutions is that if our candidates win in the next general election, for example, i am a prospective candidate for parliament, that if we were successful, then they would have to look again at our personal and business accounts because then we would be politically exposed persons. so there is a threat hanging over people who are trying to enter politics and exercise their duties. that's why really this needs
7:49 pm
to be looked at by both government and the fta, because i really do think the banking sector, the financial services sector is over interpreting the politically exposed persons regulations. the bbc contacted monzo bank about gina miller's case, a spokesperson said... —— for — — for safety —— for safety reasons, many airlines make it —— the bbc has found that major airlines are charging some disabled passengers double to fly from the uk. for safety reasons, many airlines make it compulsory for passengers with mobility problems to travel with a personal care assistant and charge full price for the additionalfare. this is despite civil aviation authority guidance on eu law, maintained by the uk post—brexit, calling on airlines to subsidise the cost. disabled people say the current measures are discriminatory and stop them from flying. bbc news contacted over 100 airlines, including all that fly from heathrow, to find out how many insist on a pa and whether they offer a discount. let's talk to melody powell, a diversity and inclusion consultant.
7:50 pm
that speak to a diversity and inclusion consultants, thank you for joining us. when we do see people from the disability community travelling, we don't actually factor in how difficult it is for them to get around and how much assistance they do need. get around and how much assistance they do need-— they do need. yeah, i mean, it is one of those _ they do need. yeah, i mean, it is one of those things _ they do need. yeah, i mean, it is one of those things that when - they do need. yeah, i mean, it is one of those things that when it | one of those things that when it comes to flying, i don't think anybody has ever really taken a step back to look at because it's always been the way that if you need help, you have to pay for someone to come and help you with flying, unlike going to music events and theatre, where you do get that discount on a pa. , ., , where you do get that discount on a pa. tell us about this investigation that we have _ pa. tell us about this investigation that we have done, _ pa. tell us about this investigation that we have done, where, - pa. tell us about this investigation that we have done, where, you - pa. tell us about this investigation i that we have done, where, you know, it's discovered that these major airlines are charging people with disability double to fly. and i'm just gonna hold you there because we are just going to say goodbye to our

7:55 pm
we can, so you can see that the plumes of smoke and the debris there in and around and apartment block, but the bbc team say that there arriving at the scene, that they have seen that the top floor of that tower black has been almost completely destroyed. it's a multistory residential building and we know that at least one missile has hit back to multistory building in dnipro. we will have much mind that developing story out of ukraine from the eastern ukrainian city of dnipro shortly. christian will be here with all the latest on the context. all the better news coming up context. all the better news coming up now. —— all the weather news coming up now. hello. friday was a pleasant enough day for most of us. just a few showers here and there. but how about the weekend?
7:56 pm
it is looking a little on the unsettled side but i don't think it is going to be as bad as last weekend. last weekend, at least saturday for some of us was an absolute write—off without persistent rain and the strong winds. but on the satellite picture, low pressure is close by — and a fair amount of cloud and low pressures are heading our way. in fact, over the next few days, we will see a succession of lows sweeping across the country. here is the picture early in the morning, not particularly cold, 13—15 degrees celsius. sunny spells, already a few scattered showers, some of them on the heavy side. and actually, as we go through the course of the morning, into the afternoon, the showers may become more frequent, particularly in northern ireland, scotland and northern england. least frequent showers i think the further south and south—east you are. so frequent sunny spells here. and temperatures up to about 22 celsius in norwich, high teens expected in belfast and through the lowlands of scotland. how does that bode for the cricket? well, certainly showers on the cards, and of course it is scheduled until monday. i think showers are expected until then as well. here is the picture for sunday.
7:57 pm
jet stream across the atlantic, another low heading our way and the weather front at this stage in the morning approaching ireland with more persistent outbreaks of rain, then reaching the south—west of wales. but it is not cloudy and wet everywhere, far from it. in fact, across much of northern england and scotland, there will be plenty of bright weather and actually quite sunny there in aberdeen and stornoway. with highs of up to about 18 celsius. i mentioned at the beginning of the forecast that there is a succession of low pressure is heading our way. and indeed, thejet stream is pointing right at us. look at all that rainfall, and notjust here in the uk but right across europe. further south in the mediterranean, it is going to be dry. so how well it hasjuly been? because it has been wet. in fact, in northern ireland, 18a% of the average rainfall. and in england, about 163% of the average. but of course that does vary from region to region. so here is the outlook for the weekend and into next week. it is more of the same, on the cool side but not far off average. and of course changeable. bye— bye.
