this case has become very emotional. it has played out politically as well. we have seen a lot of perspectives from the conservative press, in particular this editorial from "the wall street journal," which blames a system that "elevated a judge's opinion about what is best for charlie over that of his loving parents." catherine: there is so much opinion about this very sad, very personal case. 24 hour viewers to look at in the press today. here in france, the president has a big meeting on his hands. he has invited key libyan leaders to a chateau near paris. reporter: he invited the prime minister and his rival, a military general, the head of the libyan national army. they are both in paris to meet with emmanuel macron. macron is hoping to help both sides find a solution to what is essentially a political quagmire in libya. it has been that way for six years, since colonel gadhafi was killed. a french paper reports the men are expected to sign a document that will define the principles on which to advance, like holding elections in 2018. catherine: there is

us senatorjohn mccain office has revealed he has brain cancer.epublican had been recovering from surgery after announcing over the weekend that doctors in pheonix had removed a five centimetre blood clot above his eye. senator mccain, a vietnam veteran, was the republican nominee for the us presidential election in 2008. 0ur correspondent james cook has been following this from los angeles. what we know is, as you say, senator mccain went into hospital to have this clot above his eye removed, and it was in subsequent tests that his doctors realised that he had a brain tumour, known as a blastoma. they say that he is now reviewing treatment both with his family and doctors and that those options might include chemotherapy and possibly radiation treatment as well. senator mccain is 80 years old. he is well respected in washington, among other members of congress on both sides of the aisle. they see him as an independent minded senator. he has been there since the 1980s. he is of course known to the american people as a war hero, having been capture

is this something that has got worse over your years in parliament? it has definitely got worse.psetting for my staff and very demoralising for me. and yet we as a society like to think of ourselves as becoming more tolerant in general and certainly less tolerant of things like racism. this would seem to suggest it is going the other way? i think generally we are more tolerant but the advent of new media and also the anonymity of new media has opened the floodgates for this type of abuse. it is not that these people weren't there all along but it is with new media and the ease of abusing people, it has all achieved a mass and a velocity which is quite crushing if you're on the other end of it. how much does any of this have to do with established parties? today, labour are saying the conservatives should be doing more to control their own people. i wouldn't blame any single party or any single faction of a party for this. this is a problem of the time, but i think that all parties have to try and ensure that their supporters don't engage in mindless abuse online, because itjust d

the venezuelan government has systemically rejected humanitarian aid offers, however, but it has bought arms with the bit of resources they still have. every death in venezuela should hurt the whole international community. it is especially hurtful and painful for this hemisphere, it's our responsibility to defend the people of venezuela and denounce all human right violations and the violent situation it is going through. last sunday, the people went out on the streets to defend democracy. 7 and a half million people called to the armed forces of venezuela to defend the constitution, they asked government employees to respect the constitution, they asked for free and transparent elections as a democratic solution to this crisis. this is something that should be done by the people. these people went despite of their fear and they were being threatened by the government. the people are claiming all their rights and they should be listened to. and there is more worth in value in those people than all the oil they have, but the government has decided to use torture and leave blood on the s

moving down, you can see that the work has begun to remove it, and it has revealed the silver installationsits behind it. the council have told us they do not want to take that off as well, it is insulation keeping the towers warm, and it is important to keep heating bills low, but they cannot leave it exposed like that, so moving across again, you will see that there is some lettering across that section of cladding. that is temporary, new cladding, consisting of concrete boarding. the council says that, by putting that on top of the insulation underneath, it is safe, but it is not a permanent fixture. it is something they will keep on these buildings temporarily and safely until they have decided what to do in the long term. in terms of what is going to happen, they say they are going to start tests next month, the middle of august, to look at different kinds of cladding which could be fixed as a long—term permanent solution. they are not ready to do that yet, though, so that concrete boarding is going to go up in the meantime. it will take a while and cost a considerable amount of money
