this is bbc news, i'm shaun ley — the headlines at five: the family of 12—year—old archie battersbee confirm he has died after his life support was withdrawn. can ijust say, 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. the palestinian health ministry says 15 palestinians have been killed in the gaza strip — where the israeli military is targeting members of the palestinian group islamichhad. a bus carrying passengers to a roman catholic pilgrimage has crashed in northern croatia — killing 12 people and injuring more than 30 others. world championjake whiteman has to settle for a bronze medal after coming third in the 1500 metres at the commonwealth games.

good afternoon. archie battersbee, the 12—year—old who's been at the centre of a legal battle between his parents 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.

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 treating archie. it says he passed away on saturday afternoon at the royal london after treatment was withdrawn in line with court rulings about his best interests. it goes on, "the trust would like to thank the medical, nursing and support staff in the paediatric intensive care department who looked after archie following his awful accident. they provided high quality care with extraordinary compassion over several months in often trying and distressing circumstances. this tragic case not only affected the family and his carers but touched the hearts of many

across the country." we flashed up the wrong statement, this is the statement from christian concern they said the events of the last two weeks raised significant issues including about how death is the phone, how those decisions are made, the place of the family. no one wants to see other families experience this and need urgent reform of the system. joining me now is dr emma nottingham, senior lecturer in child law and medical ethics at the university of winchester. one thing perplexing to people who do not know the detail of the case is the batting back and forth between different levels of the court system. without going through every twist and turn of theirs, can you summarise why that happens? first of all, cases like this are

usually decided outside of court. it is quite rare to see these types of cases in court although there have been a handful of high—profile cases in recent years. again, quite unusualfor it to in recent years. again, quite unusual for it to go through that many layers of medication. i think what has happened in this instance is many different possible avenues the parents could have tried and it was important to them to make sure that they had exhausted all of those avenues. and ultimately that is why we ended up seeing many different cases being heard, all with regard to this one instance. the cases being heard, all with regard to this one instance.— to this one instance. the early sta . es to this one instance. the early stages focused _ to this one instance. the early stages focused on _ to this one instance. the early stages focused on whether - to this one instance. the early stages focused on whether or| to this one instance. the early i stages focused on whether or not archie could be declared brain stem that i think the correct phrase is, in the end, there was some confusion over what the ruling was over that and in the end that does not seem to have been at the heart of the court forjudgments on this.—

forjudgments on this. initially the case started _ forjudgments on this. initially the case started off _ forjudgments on this. initially the case started off as _ forjudgments on this. initially the case started off as being - forjudgments on this. initially the case started off as being about. case started off as being about whether they could do the brainstem testing. court permission was given for the testing to take place, then it turned out that the hospital were unable to do the usual brainstem test that they would normally do because archie did not pass, unable to have the initial precautionary tests before the brainstem test. what the courts then had to do was then make an assessment based on the evidence they had before them, using different medical evidence and mri scans to be able to make an assessment. the courts initially did declare that he was brainstem that and then the court of appeal overruled that and said the lower court had been wrong to decide that because there were certain elements of the test that could not be done, and it has to be the official

criteria that is met. at that point, he had to be treated as a life, which meant that they needed to do a best interest assessment, that move the case on, to use the best interest dialogue. the the case on, to use the best interest dialogue. the question is, are there alternative _ interest dialogue. the question is, are there alternative ways - interest dialogue. the question is, are there alternative ways that - are there alternative ways that these kinds of cases could be resolved? actually, i do not think either side would say this is a satisfactory way of bringing this to resolution? . , ~ , , ., resolution? that is the key question we are left with _ resolution? that is the key question we are left with following _ resolution? that is the key question we are left with following cases - we are left with following cases like this, the court process is extremely distressing. it is important to remember that it a last resort, the clinical team will have gone through many layers, gone through second opinions, taking advice from clinical ethics committees. mediation is also an option as well but there are some sad, tragic circumstances were sometimes there is a breakdown of relationship and the parties cannot

agree. at that point, we have no choice but to use the court system. doctor emma nottingham, lecturer at university of winchester, thank you, on the case of archie battersbee. 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 varazhdeen. 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'sjustice minister has ordered warsaw's prosecutors office to launch an investigation into the cause of the bus crash. our 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 deaths 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, 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 family of archie battersbee, the 12—year—old boy who's been unconcious since april, has announced that he's died. after a legal battle between his parents and doctors, the royal london hospital was given permission to end his treatment today. archie's mother, hollie dance, described him as "a beautiful little boy," adding that she was "the proudest mum in the world". here's simonjones. saying their final farewells, these pictures were released by archie's family in the hours before his life support was withdrawn, following a series of legal battles pitting the family against doctors. archie passed at 12:15 today. can ijust say 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. the 12—year—old was found

unconscious at his home in april. he had suffered catastrophic brain injuries. the doctors treating him said there was no hope of a recovery, but his family maintained he needed more time. barts health nhs trust, which runs the royal london hospital, went to court to ask for treatment to end. the case was referred to the high court, the court of appeal, the supreme court and the european court of human rights, butjudge afterjudge agreed with doctors. after careful thought we refuse permission to appeal. the family eventually had to accept they had exhausted all legal roots. no family should ever have to go through what we have been through, it's barbaric. tributes to archie left outside the hospital today. his family had wanted him moved to a hospice away from what they saw as the noise and chaos of the hospital. that was refused, the trust arguing that archie was in such an unstable

condition it was too great a risk. in a statement barts health nhs trust said its thoughts and condolences were with archie's family and said that treatment had been withdrawn in line with court rulings about his best interests, and it said staff had shown extraordinary compassion over months caring for archie and in often distressing circumstances. archie's family have said they are broken. the end of a life played out in the courts and in the public domain. simon, it is tragically impossible sometimes, isn't it, to reconcile inconsolable, concerned parents with a hospital and doctors that has the law on its side? it is a hospital and doctors that has the law on its side?— law on its side? it is worth pointing — law on its side? it is worth pointing out _ law on its side? it is worth pointing out that - law on its side? it is worth pointing out that cases - law on its side? it is worth | pointing out that cases like law on its side? it is worth - pointing out that cases like this are extremely rare and we have heard are extremely rare and we have heard a lot from archie's family, but less so from the hospital trust because often they are bound by patient confidentiality. but in a statement

released by the hospital following the death, you get a sense ofjust how affected the staff and nurses have been at the hospital as well. argy�*s mother said her number one priority was to fight for his life, she would do everything she could, taking the case through the courts. she said last night she felt she had done that. but the reality is when this goes before judges they have to put emotion completely to one side, they have just one question to answer, what is in archie's best interest? in this case they decided it was in his best interest for treatment to be withdrawn. the two conservative party leadership contenders, have set out their approaches to dealing with the economic downturn, forecast by the bank of england. liz truss says she'll help people with the cost—of—living crisis by lowering taxes, not giving "hand—outs." but her rival, rishi sunak, warned that the tories could "kiss goodbye" to winning the next election, unless inflation is quickly brought under control. our political correspondent, damian grammaticas, has more. applause.

thank you. liz truss in the sunshine in the west midlands, chasing the votes of tory party members. the looming economic crisis is now weighing on this race. ms truss today said if she was prime minister, she would not be giving more hand—outs to those struggling to pay their bills. she would cut taxes instead. well, 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 am about as a conservative is people keeping more of their own money, growing the economy, so we avoid a recession. rishi sunak on the south coast said her tax cuts would amount to less than £200 for many average households, and he would look at doing more. we need to get real about this situation. it is simply wrong to rule out further direct support at this time as liz truss has done, and what is more, her tax proposals

are not going to help very significantly people like pensioners or those on low incomes, who are exactly the kind of families who are going to need help. mr sunak�*s message to his party is that inflation is what matters. average annual energy bills could go up another £2000 in the coming months, and it is thought 40% of people are already struggling to pay. ms truss says her approach is about optimism, stimulating the economy, and not talking the country into a recession. damian grammaticas, bbc news. israeli fighterjets have struck palestinian militant targets in gaza for a second day, with local residents saying residential areas have been hit. at least 15 palestinians have died, including a child. israel says its offensive is targeting the rocket launch sites of the group islamichhad, which in response fired more that 200 rockets. most were intercepted. our correspondent, yolande knell, is live injerusalem.

another day of israeli air strikes. is there a fear this could escalate further beyond islamicjihad? eeen further beyond islamic 'ihad? even takin: further beyond islamic 'ihad? even taking hamas? h further beyond islamic 'ihad? even taking hamas? that_ further beyond islamic 'ihad? even taking hamas? that is- further beyond islamicjihad? even taking hamas? that is the big fear because hamas is the most powerful militant group that governs gaza, but at the moment because of its own practical considerations it is staying out of the fighting. we have the un, qatarand staying out of the fighting. we have the un, qatar and egypt all involved in efforts to calm things down. theirjob would be much easier if hamas does not get involved as well. what we have seen throughout the day is heavy exchanges between israel and palestinian militants, with israeli warplanes and artillery being used to hit sites in gaza, even some houses being hit, sending a big, black cloud of smoke and debris. we understand some owners were warned that was going to happen. israel says this is a pre—emptive military operation against islamicjihad, and iran

backed group. it says it has precise and detailed intelligence it was planning attacks against israelis. but amid the worst violence in over a year, the palestinians and the people living in southern israel say this is very scary and israelis have been running into air raid shelters during the day and one house was directly hit, the family was in the bomb shelter and nobody was directly her there. it's day 9 of the commonwealth games in birmingham, with gemma frizelle winning gold for wales in the rhythmic gymnastics hoop. and northern ireland are having their most successful games ever. jane dougal is in birmingham for us. the northern irish are getting it right these games?— the northern irish are getting it right these games? good afternoon, clive. yes, three _ right these games? good afternoon, clive. yes, three gold _ right these games? good afternoon, clive. yes, three gold medals - clive. yes, three gold medals already for the home nations on a busy saturday at the commonwealth games and, yes, we start with northern ireland, because they have won their second gold in birmingham

and it was fitting it was northern ireland's joint flag and it was fitting it was northern ireland'sjoint flag bearer and it was fitting it was northern ireland's joint flag bearer who delivered the running bowl in the men's fours to beat india and secure his country was my best ever commonwealth medal haul. wales got their fifth gold of the games and their fifth gold of the games and their first in the rhythmic gymnastics. gemma frizelle with an astonishing routine in the hoop event to get a surprise first place. and england's nick miller has successfully defended his hammer title, winning gold at the alexander stadium with a throw of 76.43 metres. but scott and's jake wightman, world champion in the 1500 metres, failed to save commonwealth gold in the same discipline earlier, only managing bronze. it was also disappointing day for england's netball stars in their semifinal match. in a repeat of the 2018 final they were playing australia in front

of a sold—out crowd, but this time the result was reversed because england were beaten 60—51. they will now play new zealand in tomorrow's bronze medal match. finally, england were beaten in the semifinals of the t20 cricket. they lost by four runs in their semifinal against india and they will play either australia or new zealand in the bronze medal match tomorrow. jane new zealand in the bronze medal match tomorrow.— new zealand in the bronze medal match tomorrow. jane dougal live in birmingham- — jane dougal live in birmingham. in the premier league, newly—promoted fulham have drawn their opening game against last season's runners—up liverpool. the match ended 2—2 at craven cottage, with the home side taking the lead twice. here's matt graveling. fulham's return to the premier league couldn't be much more daunting. visitors liverpool, last year's runners—up by a point, were back with a point to prove. but the championship champions struck first. aleksandar mitrovic scored a record 43 last season. and they have scored, it is mitrovic! one game in, one goal.

in the second half, liverpool evolved through darwin. welcome to the premier league for darwin nunez! new signing darwin nunez showing why he is worth the £64 million paid. the home side hustled and went mitrovic went down... he is over, he says penalty. ..the serbian stepped up. 2—1, fulham. but then, ten minutes from time, a loose ball in the box saw mohamed salah react and rescue the reds. and it finished a point apiece in west london. a game full of twists and turns, starting a season that promises many more. matt graveling, bbc news. that's it. there's more throughout the evening on the bbc news channel and i'll be back with the late news at ten. now on bbc one, time for the news where you are.

this is bbc news with shaun ley. 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 us developing systems internally, it is useful to us to use different services and suppliers, but that comes with the additional security risks where those supplies have to be maintaining their own cyber security and keeping that good cyber hygiene in place so 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 wannacry 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 without 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 the 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. 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. as parts of england start to enforce temporary hosepipe bans this summer, concern is now turning to the risk of wild fires. 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? 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. time for a look at the weather with darren. 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 breezy in scotland, 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.

hello this is bbc news — i'm shaun ley. the headlines... the family of 12—year—old archie battersbee confirm he has died after his life support was withdrawn. the palestinian health ministry says 15 palestinians have been killed in the gaza strip — where the israeli military is targeting members of the palestinian group islamic jihad. a bus carrying passengers to a roman catholic pilgrimage has crashed in northern croatia — killing twelve polish people and injuring more than thirty others. conservative leadership contenders set out their approaches to dealing with the economic downturn forecast by the bank of england. the effects from a cyber attack on the nhs111 system could take until next week to resolve — after phone lines and electronic gp referrals were disrupted.
