and hospital doctors, has died. the high court ruled that archie could not be transferred to a hospice, and the royal london hospital was given permission to withdraw his treatment this morning. speaking outside the hospital a short while ago, archie's mother hollie dance paid an emotional tribute to her son. it is with my deepest sympathy and sadness to tell you all that archie passed at 1215 today. can ijust say, i am the proudest mum in the world. i am the proudest mum in the world. such a beautiful little boy. and he fought right until the very end. and i'm so proud to be his mum. he was taken off of all medication at ten o'clock and his entire stats remained completely stable for two hours, untilthey removed ventilation. we've also had a statement

from the hospital trust that was treating archie. it says he passed away on saturday afternoon at the royal london hospital after treatment was withdrawn in line with court rulings about his best interests. the campaign group group christian concern, which has been supporting the battersbee family, released this statement.

0ur correspondent helena wilkinson takes a look back at archie's short life. after only four months on life support, archie's treatment after nearly four months on life support, archie's treatment was withdrawn earlier in hospital. the 12—year—old was found unconscious in april, he suffered brain damage. doctors treating him said there was no hope of recovery, that archie was brain dead. bart's health nhs trust, which runs the royal london hospital, went to court to ask for archie's treatment to end. the judge agreed that it should. archie's parents disagreed. it was the start of a lengthy legal battle over their son's treatment. i do not believe archie has been given enough time. from the beginning, i have always thought, what is the rush? his heart is still beating, he has gripped my hand. and, as his mother, and my gut instinct, i know my son is still there.

archie's family took their case through the courts. after careful thought, we refuse permission to appeal. butjudge afterjudge agreed with doctors that it was not in archie's best interest to continue life—support treatment. as that legal battle came to an end, there was one final one — archie's parents wanted him to move to a hospice. the hospital said, to do that would create a considerable risk to the 12—year—old's condition. thejudge refused the family permission. archie's case has been followed here and around the world. how his parents must be feeling now is difficult to imagine. helena wilkinson, bbc news, at the high court. we can speak to timothyjames, aenior lecturer in medical law and ethics at the university of surrey. thank surrey. you very much for being with us.

thank you very much for being with us. can i ask you for your reaction to this case, in terms of the kinds of dilemmas it raises? this to this case, in terms of the kinds of dilemmas it raises?— to this case, in terms of the kinds of dilemmas it raises? this sort of case is clearly _ of dilemmas it raises? this sort of case is clearly extremely - case is clearly extremely distressing but what we have here is what hollie dance described as her that instinct. the law only has one responsibility, which is to consider the best interests of the child concerned, and if anything had been possible to be done, then they would have ordered it to be done. the suggestion that the system requires reform in this respect is frankly ill—advised. the crucial thing was the family per mac need to feel that they had done everything for the child that they possibly could. hollie dance was quoted as saying, i have done everything that i promised

my little boy i would do. psychologically and personally, that is clearly utterly crucial, but as far as the law is concerned, he had died by the 13th ofjune and that had already taken place. it has been since then that we have had this conflict as to whether we should recognise that as the fact or whether some other voice should be heard.

much. the conservative party leadership contenders have set out their approaches to dealing with the economic downturn forecast by the bank of england. liz truss has said she would help people with the cost—of—living crisis by lowering taxes, not giving handouts. rishi sunak warned that the conservatives could kiss goodbye to winning the next election unless inflation is quickly brought under control. 0ur political correspondent jonathan blake has the details. for whichever candidate becomes the next prime minister, tackling rising energy costs will be an immediate challenge. liz truss has said she'd focus on cutting taxes and boosting supply, ruling out "hand—outs". what i will do from day one is reduce taxes, so reverse the national insurance rise, and also have a temporary moratorium on the green energy levy, so people are spending less of their money on fuel bills. but what i'm about, as a conservative, is people keeping more of their own money,

growing the economy, so we avoid a recession. at a hustings in eastbourne last night, both candidates doubled down on their approach to the economy. liz truss spoke of hope and optimism, and not talking the country into recession. rishi sunak�*s message to the party — get real. we all heard what they said yesterday, all of you saw the numbers, and if we don't get a grip of this thing and get a grip of it fast, then we can kiss goodbye to winning that next election. so the first thing to put ourselves in a position to win is get through inflation and and get through it quickly, and not do things worse, but then... thank you. i would also... earlier, environmental protesters disrupted the event, calling for action on climate change and energy bills — another sign that, for some, the focus of this contest is not reflecting reality. jonathan blake, bbc news. in croatia, at least 12 people have been killed and 32 injured after a polish bus veered off

a highway early this morning. the bus was heading in the direction of the croatian capital zagreb when it crashed near the city of varazdin. it was on its way to a well—known catholic pilgrimage site in bosnia—herzegovina. three priests and six nuns were among the bus passengers. poland's justice minister has ordered warsaw's prosecutors 0ffice to launch an investigation into the cause of the bus crash. 0ur warsaw correspondent adam easton explained to us what authorities believe happened to the bus. this bus set off from poland yesterday, on friday, and it was travelling southwards to that small southern bosnian town. it was in northern croatia when the crash happened, which took place at 5:40am local time, so round about dawn. apparently, it veered off the highway and rolled into a ditch, causing the death of at least 12 of those passengers, and injuring all 32 other people on board. we know there were two drivers,

there was some speculation in croatian media about one of the drivers, the driver obviously behind the wheel at the time, but that's. . . possibly falling asleep, but that is just speculation, it has not been confirmed at all by any of the official sources. and, yes, as you mentioned, this is a hugely popular pilgrimage for people here in poland, and they have been going since the early 1980s to this small bosnian town. poland, of course, it remains a very roman catholic country, one of the most roman catholic countries in europe. ever since the 1980s when some local children in the town said they saw a vision of the virgin mary in 1981, pilgrimages have been taking place to this town every year. it is estimated 2.5 million people across the world make

the pilgrimage to the town, many of them from poland. so, the catholic bishops across the country have announced that at the mass services on sunday, there will be prayers for the victims and the families of the victims all across the country. the headlines on bbc news... the family of 12—year—old archie battersbee confirm he has died after his life support was withdrawn. conservative leadership contenders set out their approaches to dealing with the economic downturn forecast by the bank of england. a bus carrying passengers to a roman catholic pilgrimage has crashed in northern croatia, killing 12 polish people and injuring more than 30 others. sport and for a full roundup, from birmingham, here's chetan. good afternoon.

i'm in birmingham, day nine of the commonweath games. in the last ten minutes england's hopes of defending the netball title they won so incredinbly on the gold coast four years ago have come to an end. australia have got their revenge. beating england by 60 points to 51 at the nec. the australians were outstanding. they were clinical with the ball and having felt the pain of losing to england at home in 2018, they've now put england out of their home games to reach the final. and it's jamaica who australia will face in that final after they beat the world champions new zealand 67—51. exactly 60 years afterjamaica's independence, the sunshine girls as they're known celebrated in style after their win. england will have to play new zealand in the bronze medal match tomorrow.

earlier today, northern ireland beat india in the final of the lawn bowls mens fours, to win their second gold medal of these games. it was fitting that it was martin mchugh here, joint flag bearer and winner of gold in the men's fours at kuala lumpur back in 1998 — who delivered the winning bowl in the 14th end, giving northern ireland an unassailable 18—5 lead. it's their first lawn bowls gold since mchugh won the fours 2a years ago. this time his teammates were sam barkley, adam mckeown and ian mcclure. to get another gold metal, but full credit to the boys, i couldn't ask for a better rink, and i am overwhelmed. over at the alexander stadium, a big day and night ahead of athletics.

scotland's world champion jake wightman had to settle for a bronze medal in the final of the men's 1500 metres. wightman, who took that incredible gold at the world championships in eugene last month, made his move with 200m to go but couldn't hold on to the lead. it was as australia's 0liver hoare who charged through in the final few metres to snatch gold ahead of kenya's tim cheruiyot. wightman said afterwards he was relieved to win bronze in the end, and he knew it would be tough to put in another gold medal winning performance so soon after the world championships. england's hopes of winning the first ever commonwealth t20 title are over, after they lost their semi final to india by four runs. 0pener smriti mandhana hit 61 off 32 balls, including three sixes,

and jemimah rodrigues made an unbeaten 44 as india made a challenging 164 for five. captain nat sciver and amyjones looked like they might steer england home butjones was run out for 31. sophie ecclestone finished with a six but it wasnt enough. india through. australia or new zealand await in the final. england's nick miller has successfully defended his hammer title. having failed with his first two attempts, a fourth throw of 76.43m was enough to hold off the challenge of canada's ethan katzberg. cyprus' alexandros poursanidis pipped england'sjoseph ellis to bronze. fulham's return to the premier league got off to a good start earning a two all draw at home to liverpool in the lunch time kick off.

aleksandar mitrovic broke the championship scoring record last season and gave fulham the perfect start after half an hour at craven cottage. it took a substitution for liverpool to get back into the game. new signing darwin nunez coming off the bench to open his account. mitrovic put fulham back in front with a penalty after he was fouled. but there's no stopping mo salah rewriting the record books as he struck on the opening day for the sixth season in a row to salvage a point for liverpool. he never felt the game he neverfelt the game properly, let me say there is. maybe after we equalised, we found that a bit where we wanted to go. yes, so, really bad game, really bad game from our side, from us. we got a point for it so

thatis from us. we got a point for it so that is the only positive thing. there are five other matches in the premier league today... we'll keep you updated with all that is happening in the premier league and here at the premiere —— commonweath games. that's all your support for now. at least 15 palestinians have been killed in the gaza strip as israel continues a military operation, which it says is to counter a direct threat from the islamichhad militant group. a five—year—old child and several fighters, including a commander of the armed faction, are among the dead. the group has fired around 200 rockets into israel in the past 2a hours, prompting siren warnings, but most have been intercepted. from jerusalem, yolande knell reports.

palestinians scatter as an apartment building is hit in gaza, minutes after a warning call. it is only day to a fighting here, and israel's military says its new operation targeting islamichhad militants could last a week. a commander of the group was killed in an early strike. this woman who lived nearby is afraid and angry. translation: we were safe in our home, we were thrown out of it by the bombing. we were just sitting there. my son is getting married and we were preparing his bride's new clothes. why didn't they warn us that they would bomb? the funeral of the top militant brought huge crowds of mourners onto the streets. islamichhad swore revenge, and afterwards it's fired dozens of rockets at israel. many intercepted by its air defence system.

but warning sirens still went off in southern towns, sending israelis running to bomb shelters. it forces hit back at what they said were missile launch sites in gaza, releasing these pictures. israel carried out a precise counterterror operation against an immediate threat. 0ur fight is not with the people of gaza, islamichhad is an iranian proxy that wants to destroy the state of israel and kill innocent israelis. the exchange of fire continues, with palestinian rocket trails and smoke from israeli air strikes in the gaza sky. and there have been new palestinian casualties. so far, hamas, the powerful militant group which governs gaza, haven't been drawn into the fighting. much depends on whether it stays that way. yolande knell, bbc news, jerusalem.

reuters news agency has updated us and says air raid sirens have been sounding across tel aviv, and fighting continues. there have been three explosions but they may have been caused by rockets being intercepted. six people have been arrested following an altercation at a holiday park in east sussex in which a man died. the incident happened at parkdean resorts in camber sands, just before 11pm on friday. paramedics attended the scene but the man was declared dead shortly after midnight. the effects from a cyber attack on the uk's nhs111 system could take until next week to resolve. it affected the phone lines and electronic referrals to out—of—hours gps. the service helps people get the right advice and treatment when they need it. i spoke to chelsea jarvie about what sort of risks there are to the nhs from using third party contractors.

to save hassle developing systems internally, it is useful to us to use different services and suppliers, but that comes with the additional security risk where those supplies have to be maintaining their own cyber security and keeping that good cyber hygiene in place said that we are not then impacted by an attack on their side. there was an attack on the nhs, slightly bizarre attack a few years ago that seemed to be linked to north korea. yes, that attack was five years ago now, it was a massive ransomware attack which affected organisations and governments right across the globe. the nhs was caught in a crossfire with that attack. so, it wasn't a targeted attack, in particular, so we do see some people come under targeted attacks from cyber security hacking groups, and then others, it is just a fluke — somebody has clicked

on a phishing e—mail or you have been unlucky, really. you see, that is very striking, that one could think that one keystroke by one person using part of the service that relies on a particular software, can actually end up disabling, potentially, the whole service. that seems to be almost an in—built vulnerability, that is quite worrying. we talk about security in depth and defence in depth, so for somebody to click on a link or download an attachment in an e—mail, and for that to have such a big chain reaction does require other vulnerabilities to be in a system, so we have to look at security of all different levels and across all different systems and suppliers, and people as well, so try to get people to understand the impact they can have on the security position of an organisation and not to click links and things, so it is important for businesses to look at security

right across the board. as parts of england start to enforce temporary hosepipe bans this summer, concern is now turning to the risk as parts of england start to enforce temporary hosepipe bans this summer, concern is now turning to the risk of wild fires across the uk. fire chiefs have warned that our cities need to be better prepared by learning from the rural services that have been tackling and preventing fires in the countryside for years. claire marshall reports. the searing heat coupled with the lack of rain has made the countryside bone dry. wildfires normally seen on moors or grasslands have come closer than ever to houses. in early summer, this blaze began on a country parkjust south of birmingham. it came within a few metres of local homes. we went to look at what was left behind. the wind direction changed and it's pushed it this way, north. so the houses, where are the houses? just over there? the houses are sort of down here, through the trees, yeah. so when that happened, the decision was made to start evacuating some of them houses.

not one house was damaged. david swallow�*s team managed to contain the blaze, helped by his expertise as the uk's leading wildfire tactical advisor. he had been monitoring temperatures and the wind for weeks. you know, 40—degree heat in the uk with humidity that's down to 20% — they are mediterranean, western us seaboard—type conditions that we've never experienced before. losing a whole row of houses, it's not... it's not something that happens in the uk, but i think it's something that we're going to have to be better prepared for. head south, and these are the malvern hills — a haven for plants and animals. this is the kind of landscape that needs protecting. but everything is really dry, and it's very vulnerable. look at this — someone's tried to light a barbecue here on the bare grass. this is just one of dozens found every week in the summer. local managers here work closely with the fire service. they manage the risks

from rising temperatures, and also the rising numbers of summer visitors. the fire brigade, having a clear plan of knowing where they can get to, that is critical. as we see ourselves, the number of people accessing our land, the number of — the frequency of firestarter events where you've got barbecues, small fires, glass that's left out — we are seeing that increasing pretty much year on year. back on the country park, two days after the fire broke out, it still wasn't completely out. city council ranger dave — not a trained firefighter — has learned to work alongside the crews. how many fires have you put out so far this year? this year? i'm looking at probably about six or eight. how do you look ahead to the summer? the climate's changing, things are getting hotter. it's... it's scary. as the world heats, it's where the countryside spaces meet the city that will become a bigger

part of the front line in the fight against wildfires. claire marshall, bbc news. judith durham, who was lead singer of the sixties folk band, the seekers, has died at the age of 79. the seekers were the first australian group to achieve broad international success, selling more than 50 million records around the world. they were named australians of the year in 1967, butjudith durham left the band a year later to pursue a solo career. their biggest hits included georgy girl and i'll never find another you. mainly promoted by radio caroline backin mainly promoted by radio caroline back in the days of pirate radio. now, time for a look at the weather with darren bett. hello, much of the country will stay dry over the week ahead and it is going to get hotter as well. these are the more comfortable temperatures that we have been seeing this afternoon.

highs in the mid 20s across the south—east of england. not particularly warm in scotland and northern ireland, still some rain in the north of the country and that will continue into the night. it will slip down across the western side of scotland and it will be light and patchy. elsewhere, dry with clear skies, and temperatures in rural areas dipping down to around eight celsius. breezy tomorrow in scotland, with western scotland seeing light rain or drizzle. drier and brighter the further east. some cloud and sunshine for northern ireland and the far north of england, and lots of sunshine across the rest of england and wales. it is continuing to heat up in the strong sunshine, so temperatures reaching the mid—20s in the south—east, up to 26 or 27 celsius. across england and wales many places will move into heatwave conditions by next week, and mid—30s by thursday in the south—east.
