what's your take on the charlie gard story? >> let me say this. >> please. >> first, the american people sure don't want the insurance companies and the big powerful interests to control their health care. that's why trumpcare is so unpopular. they want a good system that works, and that's what we're looking at. on the charlie gard situation, again, i don't know all the details in england, but, you know, i think if people want to be able to help a child that's dying, they should be allowed to do it. >> all right. democratic leader, minority leader chuck schumer. thank you so much.

support for charlie gard was global. a statement from pope francis said he was playing for his parents and that he hoped that they wished to a company and cheat their child until the end was not elected. —— and treat their child. but doctors at great 0rmond child. but doctors at great ormond street and the legal system saw things differently. judges at every level up differently. judges at every level up to this european court of human rights determined that further treatment would not be in the interests of charlie gard and that he should be allowed to die with dignity. through out the legal process the relationship between the pa rents process the relationship between the parents and the hospital deteriorated stop i cannot get my head around it. we too him into hospital, they do not want to do the treatment. they basicallyjust kept him a prisoner there. our parental rights have been stripped the military we took in there, in hindsight we lost him. -- the moment we took him in there. his parents thank nurses at grea

a short while later, the parents of charlie gard also released a statement. we don't condone abusive or threatening behaviour to great ormond street hospital staff or anybody in connection with our son. we, too, get abuse and have to endure nasty and hurtful remarks on a daily basis. people have different opinions and we accept that. but there is a line that shouldn't be crossed. the health secretary, jeremy hunt, also condemned the abuse, tweeting that the behaviour was totally u na cce pta ble. the high court hearing into charlie gard's future resumes tomorrow, with the judge saying he hopes a decision will be reached by tuesday. richard main, bbc news. the rules on blood donation are to be relaxed in england and scotland to allow more gay men and sex workers to take part. experts say there is clear evidence it is safe for those groups to give blood after abstaining from sex for three months, instead of 12. hiv charities have welcomed the changes. our health correspondent sophie hutchinson reports. giving blood is not for everyone. rules on safety mean thos

if we don't, then all the little charlie gard's in the world are in trouble. president trump weighed in as well. the charlie gard story has become political, with some of the right saying it shows why having a nationalised health system is bad. those on the other side of the debate said donald trump is being hypocritical. on one hand, showing compassion to a british family while introducing healthcare legislation that could seriously endanger american children. this is a fundamental and radical restructure ofa fundamental and radical restructure of a programme that kids rely on. it will shred the safety net that children have relied on for many yea rs. children have relied on for many years. this is probably the most important issue for children in decades. this american father's only concern was fighting to keep his son alive. he understands better than anyone what charlie gard's parents are going through. being told he should let his child die, when there was the promise, however implausible, that he could be saved. plenty more on that story on the website.

we we re around the charlie gard case. we were talking about it in the last ten minutes and we are hearing that great ormond street hospital in london hasjust said it has great ormond street hospital in london has just said it has applied to the high court for a fresh hearing in this case. great ormond street has applied to the high court for a fresh hearing in this case and the hospital says it is doing that in light of claims of new evidence relating to potential treatment for his condition. you remember, 11—month—old charlie gard, all legal avenues have been exhausted but his pa rents avenues have been exhausted but his parents wanted to take into the united states for a highly experimental treatment. they said it could offer some hope in his case, he was born with an extremely rare condition. they lost all legal cases but this letter has emerged today, signed by seven medical professionals, scientific researchers, lots of them in other countries, but this letter has emerged which talks about a potential drug which

the fight over charlie gard's future is over. this desperately sick little boy will now be allowed to die. justice for charlie! justice but charlie! after a hugely emotional hearing, where his parents said they had agreed to let their son go. they emerge to face the world's media. our son is an absolute moray and we could not be proud of him and we will miss him terribly. —— proud of him and we will miss him terribly. — — warrior. proud of him and we will miss him terribly. —— warrior. his body heart and soul may soon be gone, but his spirit will live on for eternity and he will make a difference to people's lives for years to come, we will make sure of that. we are now going to spend our last precious moments with our son, charlie, who unfortunately will not make his first birthday injust under two weeks' time. charlie has been in great ormond street hospital since october. he has a serious inherited condition, mitochondrial depletion syndrome. he cannot move, feed or breathe unaided. the central question in this cas

charlie gard's parents have campaigned to keep him alive. they've been in despair afterfour courtjudgments backed his doctors, who want to switch off his ventilator to end his suffering. you know, he's our own flesh and blood and we don't have a say in his life. we are not bad parents and we are there for him all the time, completely devoted to him. he isn't in pain and suffering and i promise everyone, i would not sit there and watch my son in pain and suffer. i couldn't do it. the reality is, charlie is terminally ill. he cannot move, see, cry, swallow. he also has serious brain damage and doctors say nothing can help him. but his parents refuse to accept that. they've raised £1.3 million for experimental treatment in the united states, treatment which doctors at the hospital say is futile. but now seven medical experts from rome, new york, cambridge and barcelona have intervened. in a letter to great ormond street hospital, they accept that the treatment is experimental and ideally should be tested in a mouse model. however, there is ins

behind me be supporters of the parents of charlie gard, and theirfight to the parents of charlie gard, and their fight to keep the parents of charlie gard, and theirfight to keep him alive, is going on very much in evidence behind me. the court case itself, the hearing is happening in court number 50 inside the high court. it started at 10:45am in front of mr justice francis, who is the original judge who heard the original high court ruling on charlie gard and he said there are a lot of people who have been working very hard in the best interest of this baby and he stated that his welfare is a paramount concern to all of us. we leave this hearing, as you mentioned, is about this experimental treatment that has been the thread running through this whole long—running court case. the experimental treatment is offered by a doctor in the united states which so far great 0rmond street hospital have argued will not have any significant improvement on the condition of charlie, and the argument which has been supported by the courts all the way to this so far is that the kindest thing to do

he has a similar syndrome to charlie gard, that effectively shuts down his muscles and organs. when he was one and a half his parents were told to take their child home to die with dignity. they fought to get approval to get experimental treatment for their son. i did not care if he was the first human to try these medications because they only told us he was going to die. we had already called a priest to give him the last rites because he hadn't opened his eyes in a few days. luckily we were able to get the approval pretty fast and then we were able to get him the medication, so little by little he started to get stronger. doctors and the courts in the uk say that baby charlie gard has suffered too much irreversible brain damage to survive and any further treatment could cause him significant harm. this child is extraordinary for so many reasons. at the forefront of the campaign to keep charlie on life support is an anti—abortion pastor from washington, dc. the group that gathered hundreds of thousands of signatures to save him is also american, and two us congressmen are t

breaking news from the high court on charlie gard, we are hearing that thejudge, mrjustice charlie gard, we are hearing that the judge, mr justice francis, charlie gard, we are hearing that thejudge, mrjustice francis, has approved a plan which will see charlie inevitably die shortly after being moved to a hospice and having support treatment withdrawn. that is a statement to the high court from thejudge, charlie's parents have initially said they wanted the 11—month—old to spend days with them at home before dying. great ormond street has said it was not practical to provide life—support. hence the agreement that charlie should be taken to a hospice. charlie gard will inevitably die shortly after being moved to a hospice and having life—support treatment withdrawn. that is the latest on a case that we have been bringing you over the last few days. and most distressing case for all concerned. that is the latest from the high court, we will have more a bit later. a high court judge has approved a plan which will see charlie gard die as he's moved toa see charlie gard die as he's

charlie gard's parents say they will accept help and support from wherever it comes. guide and lead them and we continue to pray for their precious, beautiful son, who has captured the imagination of the world. 11 month old charlie is severe disabled and brain damaged. his future has been the subject of a long legal battle. doctors at great ormond strett say no treatment will improve his quality of life around they should be allowed to switch off the life—support system. a view supported by a high court ruling. today his parents delivered a petition to the hospital after they say new medical information suggests their son might be able to benefit from experimental treatment overseas. there is just a lot of people think what has happened here is wrong. parents know their children best. you know. people making decisions about him have spent very little time with him. we are there 24 hours a day, if he was suffering and in pain we couldn't sit there. legally, handing in the petition doesn't change anything but charlie's parents and supporters are emboldened by the new

charlie gard and his parents? firstly and crucially, charlie's life support continues, the round—the—clock care he gets from an expert team of doctors and nurses at great 0rmond. the focus shifts on monday to the high court, which will have to assess the new evidence about the experimental treatment known as nucleoside therapy. —— great 0rmond street hospital. this isa great 0rmond street hospital. this is a powder mixed with food that has been given to a small number of children with mitochondrial disorders and the published evidence is of very modest benefits, perhaps 3-4% is of very modest benefits, perhaps 3—4% improvement but researchers today in their letter said there was unpublished data showing dramatic benefits. but we know it has never been given to a child with charlie's specific genetic mutation, nor to a child with his serious brain damage. this isn't a question of money. great 0rmond street hospital considered giving charlie the treatment but they along with independent experts said it cou

the noise behind me, vocal support for charlie gard's pa rents me, vocal support for charlie gard's parents at the high court. this afternoon, appearing through video link, the american doctor who has proposed that he would carry out this experimental treatment on charlie gard, the treatment that has been at the centre of so much debate in court for so many months. because of reporting restrictions we are not allowed to name him or the institution he works for but he has been giving evidence for about two hours, first questioned by the lawyers on behalf of charlie gard's pa rents lawyers on behalf of charlie gard's parents and was asked about the chance of success for the treatment, he estimated the chance of clinically meaningful success to be around 10%, based on nine patients who had been on ventilators and who we re who had been on ventilators and who were trying this experimental treatment and one of them came off the ventilator altogether, the other five showed significant improvement. it is important to state these patients did not have the same mitochondrial condition as charlie gar

we know that charlie gard is 11 months old, he is terminally ill, he has a rare genetic condition and has brain damage. he is currently subject of an intense legal battle between his parents and the medics over how exactly he should be treated. the hospital does say of course, they know this is heartbreaking. but they recognise the sympathy that people do feel for him and for his parents. in recent weeks, the level of abuse directed at the doctors and nurses at the hospital is just not something they can tolerate any more. they referred to it being disgraceful, and the fact it has had an impact on other parents are seriously unwell children who are being treated they say they recognise emotions are running high that there can be no excuse for patients and families to have their privacy and their and their peace disturbed in this way. they also referred to the fact that they are in contact with the metropolitan police and will hold anybody to account who behaves in what they term a deplorable way. this does echo interestingly the words of mrjustice francis, who yesterday at the high co
