safe and there is no cause for concern for those at the stadium. since that have happened we had the official postponement until tomorrow. thank you for that. and we will bring you any more on this developing story as soon as we get it. foreign ministers from the g7 leading industrialised nations, have failed to reach agreement on new sanctions against russia and syria. borisjohnson had been pushing for targeted measures against senior russian and syrian figures, after last week's suspected chemical weapons attack. well the us secretary of state is meeting with russian officials tomorrow and earlier our correspondent in moscow explained what kind of welcome he might expect. 0n the one hand rex tillerson and putin know each other in person but today putin used some harsh words to counter back. the words of rex tillerson. and he basically accused the united states of not presenting any evidence and also said they know

about possible provocation using chemical weapons in syria in the upcoming days. this is quite usual tactics often used by president clinton, he never steps back under pressure. the russian foreign ministry as saying they're full of hope and this may be a new page in bilateral relations. so russia is eagerfor bilateral relations. so russia is eager for good relationships and wa nt eager for good relationships and want on the other hand to reach an agreement on syria because they have invested so much in this campaign. earlier during the white house press briefing, donald trump's press secretary sean spicer said russia had isolated itself by aligning itself with failing states like syria. the president had made it clearfrom the beginning he ended office thinking if he could get a deal with russia in our national interests, which i discussed during the opening

remarks, then we're going to do it. but if you cannot get a deal and find an area of national interest then we will not. in this particular case no question russia is isolated. they have aligned themselves with north korea, syria, iran. nota group of countries you look to hang out with. group of countries you look to hang outwith. with the brush of russia they're all failed states. there is clearly, russia is on an island when it comes to its lack of acknowledgement of what happened, and the facts are on our side and the actions of syria are reprehensible and russia has been party to several international agreements that syria is not holding up to and also russia needs to hold up to. the president has been clear with his stance towards russia and we are going to be very forceful, as will rex tillerson during his visit, to make sure that we let russia know that they need to live up to the obligations they have made. sean spicer there.

thousands of stroke patients in england could benefit from a new programme to train more doctors in a complex procedure which can save lives and help reduce disability. it involves doctors catching and removing a clot which is causing the stroke — to help restore the flow of blood to the brain. 0ur health correspondent, jane dreaper, explains. back on herfeet, margaret had a stroke just three weeks ago at the age of 50 — but she's benefited from a revolutionary treatment. i was very, very lucky, because i probably should have come out more severe. you know, i could have been paralysed and taken months and months of therapy and everything else, rehab. but i was very lucky. margret‘s doctors at this london hospital have led the way in trying the new procedure. it's called thrombectomy and has a much higher success rate than conventional treatments using clot—busting drugs. patients can be completely weak down one side and not have any speech,

and as soon as you take the clot out, they can start talking to you and sometimes moving immediately. other times, it takes several hours or by the end of the evening or the next day, they can have recovered a lot of function. so, it can have a massive impact. with thrombectomy, doctors use this incredibly delicate piece of wire to fish the clot out of a patient‘s brain. they sometimes use another piece of wire, like this one, to suck it out. 8,000 patients across england will benefit from this treatment every year once the program is rolled out. not all patients will have the treatment, as some strokes are caused by a bleed rather than a clot, and it will take time to train the doctors and nurses needed to expand services, but nhs england says it's making this investment because patients recover their health so quickly. jane dreaper, bbc news. the parents of an eight—month—old

baby boy say they're devastated after the high court ruled the doctors at great 0rmond street hospital can withdraw his life. they broke down in tears as they heard the decision. the baby has a rare genetic condition and brain damage. his parents raised more than £1 million to take him to america for israel mental treatment. the solicitor said they could not understand why the judge said it was not in his best interest. charlie 's pa rents a re devastated not in his best interest. charlie 's parents are devastated by the decision, best going to come to terms with the pursuit —— but the refusal of the court to allow the treatment to be given to him. they wa nted treatment to be given to him. they wanted to look carefully at the reasons behind that decision and they are considering what they can do now. whatever happens their concern remains the best interest of their son. emma nottingham as a lecturer of law and she joins me now. good evening and thank you for

joining us. thejudge in summing up the case said it was with the heaviest of hearts but with complete conviction, clearly far as the judge was concerned and as far as the doctor is great 0rmond street are concerned, the of life of baby charlie was frankly going to be made even worse if his life was prolonged in order to try to have this experimental treatment in america. yes, that was part of what made this so difficult for everyone involved. really if charlie was going to be sent over to america, how much benefit that would bring him. against the invasiveness of actually putting him on a plane and sending him all the way over to america. so

the argument from the doctors wear that it was not in his best interest for that to happen and again the legal team that were working with thejudge on this legal team that were working with the judge on this and the decision of thejudge again the judge on this and the decision of the judge again is focused on what his best interests are or at least what they considered them to be. and they did not consider that sending him over to america would be something that was going to benefit his quality of life or his life expectancy to a great extent. the treatment in america was said to be experimental. if there was any real possibility of the treatment giving charlie a quality of life that would have seemed to be beneficial, do you think the decision would have been different? the decision potentially could have been different if perhaps there was more certainty over how

successful the treatment in america was going to be or perhaps if the evidence of the benefit was much stronger. as it was in this instance the treatment was considered to be experimental and the doctors in the us had clearly stated that this would not be a cure but a therapy that might help to improve certain aspects of the disease but would not bea aspects of the disease but would not be a cure. we do not really know what the outcome would have been had the circumstances been different because every situation is unique and every situation is dealt with on and every situation is dealt with on a case—by—case basis. so it is difficult to be able to comment on that. of course one can understand the heartbreak of the parents who see any glimmer of hope that their son might survive, that his quality

of life might improve in some kind of life might improve in some kind of way and for then this judgment, although based on science and the best opinion of the doctors, for them it seems cruel. absolutely, it is really heartbreaking for the pa rents. is really heartbreaking for the parents. i think this is an incredibly difficult day for them especially with all the work they've done to fight to allow charlie to continue his treatment. they really have done everything they can. so it is absolutely devastating for them andi is absolutely devastating for them and i think everyone involved with the case, even the medical professionals and the judge and any legal professionals involved, they would all agree that the situation it has come to is heartbreaking. emma nottingham, from the university
