states for take him to the united states for experimental treatment. but in the three court cases that have been heard in the uk, all of the experts have agreed that treatment would be futile and might just have agreed that treatment would be futile and mightjust extend his suffering. so all the uk courts have said that's charlie should be allowed to die but now the european court of human rights has today looked at the case and they say that they will decide whether or not to ask the uk to extend that critical care, that life support, beyond midnight tonight. i think for that but in a separate hearing in london, the uk supreme court is considering how long that should be allowed to go on for. charlie gard's pa rents, allowed to go on for. charlie gard's parents, to give you an idea of how fraught this whole thing is, has said that if great ormond street hospital withdraws critical care, they will report to the hospital for manslaughter. so there are very entrenched positions here and at the centre of it all, this poor baby

mahut is tragically, —— who is tragically terminally ill. we know what the outcome will be but it is about who decides what should happen to charlie in the meantime. thank you very much indeed. finally, president macron‘s party has won a large majority in the french parliament with projections that it could take up to 370 of the seats. marine le pen has won a seat for the first time while the socialists are forecast to lose around 200 mp5. time for a look at the weather. how are you? it is looking hot and sunny out there across many parts of the country. some glorious summer weather around. this was the scene ca ptu red weather around. this was the scene captured by one of our weather watchers earlier in the day. that is how it is looking across many parts of the country. we have got that warm sunshine around. not quite everywhere. more cloud across some

parts of the country but this is the current average. london is 30 degrees, in the high 20s. slightly fresher across parts of scotland and northern ireland. we have a little bit more cloud syncing south ona weak little bit more cloud syncing south on a weak weather front. perhaps one oi’ on a weak weather front. perhaps one or two showers on a weak weather front. perhaps one oi’ two showers across on a weak weather front. perhaps one or two showers across parts of southern scotland and northern ireland but for the bulk of england and wales, we are looking at warm sunshine continuing into the afternoon. there is a chance of one oi’ afternoon. there is a chance of one or two showers bubbling up across the east of wales, through the midlands and east anglia, and if you catch one, it could be heavy and sundry. most places will avoid any showery rain and temperatures will likely be up to 29 or 30 degrees. we could see 32 or 30 in some spots. heading north, lots of sunshine in southern england and scotland with just the chance of showers in southern scotland. a slightly fresher feel across northern parts of northern ireland into the north. pressure conditions working south through this evening and overnight. isolated showers fading away. it is

going to be another hot, sticky night in the south. 0vernight temperatures of 20 or 21. further north, temperatures falling to a roundabout 10—14. but the hot and sticky conditions continue across southern parts of england, and south wales, through the day tomorrow, with hot air in place. lots of sunshine, and it will be slightly fresher, not as hot as today. we could see 29 or 30 and even a little higher than that across southern parts. further north, between 60 and 25 degrees. —— between 16. high levels of uv for some of us. with the heat and humidity we could start to see thunderstorms piling into across northern ireland, scotland and north west england. thunderstorms in the north but the south staying predominantly dry. we could see 30 degrees or so. that heat and the sunshine staying with us heat and the sunshine staying with us through the course of thursday. but as we had through towards the end of the week, things will start

to turn fresher, with more cloud through the course of the weekend and perhaps some outbreaks of rain. but for now it is looking like another very hot day. thank you very much indeed. that's all from the bbc news at one, so it's goodbye from me and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc‘s news teams where you are. good afternoon. i'm ben brown. shortly after midnight a van was driven into a crowd of people who are helping a man. the driver has been arrested, a 48—year—old. it has been arrested, a 48—year—old. it has been described as a terrorist attack. 0ne been described as a terrorist attack. one person has died, ten people have been injured, two of them seriously. let's listen to what them seriously. let's listen to what the prime minister had to say. this morning, our country woke to news of another terrorist attack on the streets of our capital city.

the second this month and every bit as sickening as those which have come before. it was an attack that once again targeted the ordinary and the innocent, going about their daily lives. this time, british muslims as they left a mosque having broken their fast and prayed together at this sacred time of the year. today we come together, as we have done before, to condemn this act and to state once again that hatred and evil of this kind will never succeed. the government's emergency committee, cobra, hasjust met. i can set out what we know about what happened and the steps that we are taking to respond. just after 20 past midnight, the metropolitan police received reports that a van had been driven into a crowd of people on seven sisters road in finsbury park. officers were in the immediate

vicinity as the attack unfolded and responded within one minute. police declared it a terrorist incident within eight minutes. one man was pronounced dead at the scene, eight injured were taken to three separate hospitals. two were treated at the scene for more minor injuries. the driver of the van, a white man aged 48, was bravely detained by members of the public at the scene and then arrested by police. the early assessment by the police is that the attacker acted alone. our thoughts and prayers this morning are with the family and friends of the man who died and those who were injured. that was the prime minister. the

mayor of london, sadiq khan, is here at the moment. he has promised extra patrols on the streets of london. trying to reassure the muslim community there will be extra patrols around mosques. labour leaderjeremy corbyn is also here. in earlier on he said he had been shocked by what he called an horrific and cruel attack. i know the people in muslim welfare house and the mosque extremely well, the community very well, and i came here last night to talk to the police and firefighters and ambulance who work here. i have to say, the response by all three emergency services was very timely and very quick, and the police managed to arrest the suspect who was driving the van and taken away from the area. and sadly the gentleman who died's body was on the ground uncovered respectfully by a tent so the forensic examination could take place.

the community here became very angry because in the initial stages this wasn't being referred to as a terrorist attack. do you think this terrorist attack has been treated as seriously as others? well i'm treating it as absolutely seriously as any other type. this was a van driving into a crowd of people who were attending a man who was already injured. and they were coming home from night time prayers at in the mosque, it is ramadan and it's perfectly normal, and eight people have been injured. some of them, i understand, extremely seriously. as i see it, this is a terror on the street and a terror of the people on the street in the communities i'm very proud to represent in parliament, and that's why i'm here today. that was labour leaderjeremy corbyn. that was from early. he is here now. the prime minister,

theresa may, is also here meeting community leaders. let's go to norman smith. we heard from the prime minister earlier on after chairing a meeting of cobra. the government emergency committee. she spokein government emergency committee. she spoke in downing street and now she is here? and i think what we are seeing is a real attempt to try and not make the same sort of mistakes that many thought mrs may made in the wake of the grenfell tower tragedy. so today, making a determined effort to respond quickly and to go to the scene of the tragedy. also, striking, ithink, the words mrs may used in downing street. her very first sentence said, this was a terrorist attack. there was no equivocation. no doubt whatsoever. she put it in the same bracket as the london bridge and manchester attacks. she said it was an attack on ordinary people going about their everyday lives.

terrorism, she said, is terrorism. she went out of her way to say that the police had also characterised it asa the police had also characterised it as a terrorist attack, within eight minutes of being alerted. initially there had been some criticism as to whether the police initially presented it as a terrorist attack. also, i felt it was significant the way that mrs may has sought to cast this not just way that mrs may has sought to cast this notjust as an attack on worshippers in finsbury park, but all of us. an attack against the bonds that bind us together, in terms of that belief in mutual tolerance, respect, freedom of expression, freedom of religion. the last thing i thought striking was the way she went out of her way to praise london and londoners. this extraordinary city of extraordinary people. that clearly notjust a reference to recent terrorist attacks, but also of course to the g re nfell tower attacks, but also of course to the grenfell tower tragedy. and real anger here on the street in

north london, not surprisingly. i suppose part of the job of senior politicians is to try and calm like that. we had not only the prime minister year at the moment but we have the mayor of london and the labour leaderjeremy corbyn. he is the local mp as well. there is a need for political leaders. notjust to come forward with suggestions to improve security or counter—terrorism. there is also an imperative on them to catch the national mood. to be able to articulate that sense of grief, of horror, of outrage, of indignation, to somehow give voice to that common purpose and by so doing to bring people together. and i think that is what mrs may to some extent was trying to do today. although it was noticeable that he did try to point towards the security measures, the increased security measures that

will now be in place. we are told additional policing, more high—profile policing in and around mosques. there is already a fund, £2.5 million, four places of worship if they feel they are in any where vulnerable to extremists or other forms of violent attack, to apply forms of violent attack, to apply for grants to improve the security they can have. so we have got proposals to improve security, as you would expect in the wake of this. indeed mrs may was talking about a counterterrorism strategy today, talking about the need to bear down on what he called safe spaces where extremism can breed. notjust online, she says, but in society generally. she believes there is too much tolerance of extremism and want a more robust approach. not simply to islamist extremism but also to islamophobia. so yes, partly about security. and reassurance. but also very much

about trying to catch a national mood. thank you, norman. that was norman smith. we do know that one person is dead after this attack and ten people were injured. two of them seriously. the person who has died, there is some confusion. we don't yet know what the cause of death was. we know that person was being treated before the attack by a crowd of bystanders, people who had been worshipping in the mosque, who were hoping that person because he had fallen ill. that crowd of people helping him were then attacked by the vehicle. we don't know if that person who died, died as a result of being ill initially or because of the attack. we will try to find out more as the day goes on. let's dr masouda shaarawy. what are

your thoughts? unfortunately, this was bound to happen sooner or later. we have been warning, the metropolitan police, the mayor of london, that the level of hatred thatis london, that the level of hatred that is being increased on a daily basis, it is very dangerous and it could lead to something like this. it is very unfortunate to say it has happened. but i think we need to address above everything this level of hatred, and the fact we have got hate preachers on our radio stations. katie hopkins, douglas murray... they are bombarding our society with hatred towards the muslim community, and indeed towards mainstream islam. this cannot go on. is this rise in islamophobia, is this something we have seen recently in the wake of manchester and

westminster attacks, was at increasing anyway? is increasing all the time for a variety of reasons. but indeed these incidentss actually increase association of violence to muslims in many ways. one is these hate preachers. secondly, the way that our society drags muslims onto the tv stations to sort of condemn and so forth. so therefore, in the minds of ordinary people, this association between violence, atrocities and islam and muslim, it is really strengthened. all it needs is really strengthened. all it needs is someone who is slightly sort of not normal to come and behave like this. i really blame the environment of hate which has been created and strengthened, even by politicians. that needs to be changed. we have heard political leaders today say that an attack on one faith is an attack on all faiths. it is an attack on all faiths. it is an attack on all faiths. it is an

attack on the whole community, not just the muslim community. we don't expect anything else on a day like this. what happens on three other than 65 days afterwards? people say this is an issue of ideology, of different culture, people have to ta ke different culture, people have to take up our culture etc. 0rdinary, innocent people down there are being demonised on a daily basis. enough is enough. we need to tackle criminality, all of us, together. muslims are victims in two ways. all in one as an ordinary citizen and the other because of the criminalisation of us as a whole. would you like to see more about —— police patrols around the muslim unity in london? well, i don't think you could deal with this sort of level of ideology and hatred byjust policing. but indeed, we need to give equal support to the mosque as

we are giving to synagogues and others, not just because we are giving to synagogues and others, notjust because of the security, but to give those communities the message that we are actually looking after all of our society in the same way. we don't need prejudice. also giving the signal to those who want to commit this sort of thing that we are protecting all of our community, despite whatever background or religion. do you feel those in authority and the police have not been treating seriously this rise in islamophobia? no. they haven't. our recent report showed that would recall the environment of hate is not just a few extreme recall the environment of hate is notjust a few extreme right wing, actually the temperature of hatred is being increased in the whole society. we need to change this environment of hate to an environment of hate to an environment of hate to an environment of healthy life. that needs to be done by media like

yourselves and politicians. just briefly, what is the mood around here as you sense it after the attack? if anything happens in the world today, the finger first point is that muslims. indeed we are ready victim of it in many levels. muslims are very aggrieved that we are not really getting the level of support and the level of protection against hatred and against attacks like this. very good to talk to you. from the islamic human rights commission. thank you for your time. bellew we spoke tojermaine thank you for your time. bellew we spoke to jermaine jackman, who thank you for your time. bellew we spoke tojermaine jackman, who won the voice singing competition in 2014. he lives very locally. he was here on the scene very soon after the attack and he has been talking to me about the sense and the atmosphere that he gets from the community around finsbury park after this attack. this is a very diverse community, a

close knit community of multi—faiths and multi—and —— multi—ethnicities. this board is hackney and islington, finsbury park, north london, hackney, we will dust our shoulders off and move on. but the aftermath, when i was talking to some of the people, there was a lot of anger, a lot of hostility because once again muslims have fallen victim to another terrorist attack. we have allowed islamophobia to grow and thrive in this country. we clamp down on those hate preachers. but when you have got preachers like tommy robinson, far right political groups who want to call themselves political parties, we are allowing them room to spew out their hatred as well. we need to take the responsibility on our shoulders as well. the media have a massive role to play by branding this as a terrorist attack. just because he is a white man doesn't mean he cant be a white man doesn't mean he cant be a terror list. —— terrorist. he is a

terrorist with a crazy ideality. he mounted the pavement and killed muslim men and women. the prime minister said this was treated within eight minutes by the police asa within eight minutes by the police as a terrorist attack. that is what he just as a terrorist attack. that is what hejust said. you as a terrorist attack. that is what he just said. you talk about islamophobia. do you feel that has been on the rise in recent months are yours? we have seen the rise in the level of animosity, hatred, towards the other. we have seen that with hate crime after the brexit vote. after the war on terror and after 9/11. that whole hatred towards muslims. we have seen that on the rise. it is unfortunate that somebody has acted upon that. and decided to mount the pavement and kill innocent people. it comes down to the media and all of us to think about how we continue to live our lives. why do we constantly make the muslim community the suspect community after every attack? they

have a school pasture than other communities. we need to look at ourselves and how we continue to act and how we can work together to form and how we can work together to form a national front, a united front, moving forward. jermaine jackman, a local resident and winner of the voice. at the moment we know one person is dead after this terror attack. ten injured. two of them seriously. they are being treated in three different london hospitals. in the next few minutes we are expecting the mayor of london, sadiq khan, to talk to us. of london, sadiq khan, to talk to us. we will bring you that live. but back to retail at the moment. thank you. the number of people believed to have died at the grenfell tower fire is 79. it -- have died at the grenfell tower fire is 79. it —— police say it has been in -- it is 79. it —— police say it has been in —— it will increase. frankie mcca mley in —— it will increase. frankie mccamley has been talking to the fire brigades union and the red cross. earlier there were emotional

scenes. firefighters came down for the first time since the incident took place and they were extremely emotional, holding members of the public. 0ne firefighter said, there we re public. 0ne firefighter said, there were just so public. 0ne firefighter said, there werejust so money public. 0ne firefighter said, there were just so money kids. public. 0ne firefighter said, there werejust so money kids. it public. 0ne firefighter said, there were just so money kids. it shows how many people have been affected. after the minute's silence, members of the public loved for the firefighters. just down the road, there was applause for police officers and firefighters who went onto the street. joining me now lucy massoud. you are from the london fire brigades union. a lot of people are affected. how your firefighters holding up? yeah, they are understandably quite devastated. we have been on site since the incident took place, day and night supporting our firefighters. took place, day and night supporting ourfirefighters. i took place, day and night supporting our firefighters. i have took place, day and night supporting ourfirefighters. i have spoken took place, day and night supporting our firefighters. i have spoken to many of them in recent days and they have seen absolutely horrific scenes. they are absolutely devastated. they only wish they could do more. they rescued many,

many people but all they will fixate on is the one person they couldn't get to. absolutely devastated. i wa nt to get to. absolutely devastated. i want to pay tribute to all of the brave men and women who attended that night, and the other emergency services and the control staff who did an amazing job. the figure now stands at 79 dead or missing, presumed dead. this is a very convex operation that firefighters will have to carry out in the building? yeah, absolutely. it is too early to speculate what that number will rise to. i expected, unfortunately, to increase significantly. —— i expect it. at this stage we are still on site. we will continue to be onside. the team that was on duty when the incident happened is back on duty today. they are absolutely devastated. all of them are heartbroken. they are ready for duty today. thank you. emma spragg is from the british red cross. you are

speaking to members of the public, people who have lost their homes in this. what is the atmosphere? there is anger and hostility, isn't there? there is. you can understand that. it is heartbreaking. the scale is something else. we are doing what we can to be here. we are working closely with lots of different agencies to make sure people have got the support they need. we are at we stway got the support they need. we are at westway sports centre where people can go for support. if anybody needs help about housing, money, travel, thatis help about housing, money, travel, that is where you go for help. it is usually emotional time. the volunteers are really trained in supporting people like that. we have a team out now checking that people are ok and giving somebody a shoulder if they needed. thank you very much. what is happening at the moment, there are still many questions surrounding this fire. how did it spread so quickly? those questions will take awhile and even weeks to be answered. police say a criminal investigation is now ongoing.

that was frankie mccamley. it is a beautiful day outside. let's look and see if it is guided continue. if you are a fan of the heat, there is more of that sunshine in the forecast for few days. still, we don't like the heat and humidity. it is fresher in parts of scotland and northern ireland, where we have got more cloud. further south in the uk, high levels of uv. a day for the sunscreen. most of us staying dry. there will be some isolated showers this afternoon across parts of antrim and down, southern scotland and the east midlands into east anglia. if you do catch one, it could be heavy and thundery. most places staying dry. it is likely to be the warmest day of the year so far. we are in for a be the warmest day of the year so far. we are infora hot be the warmest day of the year so far. we are in for a hot night again, particularly in the south. 20 to 21 degrees the overnight lows. as this week cold front moves away on
