thejudge said the human health, thejudge said that.he judge said the continued failure of government was a real threat to human health, it is affecting young children with asthma, all the people with lung and heart conditions, people across the population, and it is causing premature deaths in loads of places across the uk, and something needs to be done. we need action at the local level, proper resourcing for local authorities to getair resourcing for local authorities to get air pollution under control, we need other action as well, like bringing the car companies into line, he continued to put out cars that are pumping out way above the limits that they should be in terms of pollution. we need a range of action, and that is what this plan should include, we hope tom but also what we will see in this plan is an admission that air pollution is a lot worse than the government was trying to argue previously, and what we need to see if that people can see how bad it is and what is affecting them, and then be looking to ta ke affecting t

thejudge in summing up the case said it was with the heaviest of hearts but with complete conviction, 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 lif

five minutes later, thejudge wanted a majority verdict.s later, the judge was told about with the media that they had reached a decision. ian paterson, 59 yea rs reached a decision. ian paterson, 59 years old, was convicted and found guilty of 17 counts of wounding with intent. two other counts of dust wounding. we've just come out of court. we recalled in at 3:30pm. the judge says he will be sentenced in march. he has been given bail and some of the victims are surprised by that. they are disappointed that he has been given bail. west midlands police came onto the steps shortly after he was told that he had been found guilty and us what they had to say. he has shown that no reorse for any of the terrible things he's done. it's really hard to describe someone who has done such awful things. you struggle to find the words to say what type of person he is. how many other victims do you think are out there? i wouldn't be able to put a number on it. what i can say is that west midlands police have spoken to 240 of his patients, all who we have

thejudge dismissed had not intended to mislead the court. criticism that had been made about comments he'd previously made about comments he'd previously made to do with the vulnerability of the victor minnis case for stopping been reported as saying siege hadn't been reported as saying siege hadn't been particularly vulnerable. today, he said he'd been sticking to guidelines issued by the court do with victims' vulnerability, and she should be considered a vulnerable victim. our top story this lunchtime. the us launches missile strikes on the syrian airbase believed to have mounted the chemical attack earlier this week. president trump said it was in the interests of national security. and still to come. reaching new heights, the coastal rope bridge that is so popular timed entry has been brought in to deal with the crowds. coming up in sport at 1:30pm: unsafe conditions force second practice to be abandoned ahead of the chinese grand prix — leaving the drivers to find other ways of keeping the crowds entertained in shanghai. refuges and sh

as thejudge read out the statement, he shouted, "no."hem burst into tears in the courtroom and we have heard through their solicitor, who who is expected to give a statement shortly saying they are struggling to understand why thejudge they are struggling to understand why the judge didn't give charlie one last chance. it is not yet clear if they will appeal this decision, his parents and what his parents had wa nted his parents and what his parents had wanted to do was take charlie to america to give him experimental treatment there, but the yunlg said, it wasn't fair on charlie, the treatment hadn't been tried on anyone else before and he should be allowed to die with dignity. the judge said, "it is with the heaviest of hearts, but with complete conviction for charlie's best interests that all treatment apart from palliative care to permit charlie to die with dignity." an extremely difficult, to say the least, situation for charlie's pa rents least, situation for charlie's parents this afternoon. time is an issue here, you say we don't

what did thejudge said?pressed and a lot of his body language was strict. the government barrister this morning was turning red and read. thejudge said this morning was turning red and read. the judge said this afternoon that purdah is a convention, it is not the law and it does not overrule the law. he said even if purdah was a law, there is an exemption for serious public health issues and by the government's own figures there are 64 deaths a day contributed to by air pollution,. he said any new government coming in would have to face the law and come up with their own plan so this would not make much difference and he said the government hat to publish as soon as possible. is it over and done with now? those of us reporting on it may wish it was over and done with but the government has indicated it may consider an appeal. the judge told the government if they are considering an appeal they have to haveit considering an appeal they have to have it heard before the due date he set of may the night. he has

were you surprised by thejudgment? court today. were you surprised by the judgment? court, different cases, but where parents have wanted to continue treatment for their very ill children and the medical view is that it ill children and the medical view is thatitis ill children and the medical view is that it is not in the child's best interests and the court will look at the oval burdens and benefits of treatment. considering the underlying conditions of charlie i was not surprised. —— look at the overall burdens. the judge said that the medical advice was simply that he would not be able to recover. he would not be able to recover, and one of the key issues was probably that the baby was suffering, the perception he was suffering from the treatment he was receiving or his underlying condition, so balancing what benefit would be sought to achieve through ongoing treatment as against the pain and suffering and the likely outcome of any further treatment. that would be the issues the court was considering. would it be clear to doctors here and by extension thejudge, t

thejudge had to family division of the high court.the judge had to answer what is family division of the high court. thejudge had to answer what is in charlie's best interests, based on all of the medical evidence that he has had put in front of him from specialists at great ormond street hospital, and specialists in other countries. he did rule this afternoon that great ormond street could lawfully withdraw that life support treatment from charlie gard, an eight—month—old baby boy who is at great ormond street hospital and has been receiving 2a hour care, he is in nair there. he has been there since october last year and he is suffering from an extremely rare genetic disorder which is called mitochondrial depletion syndrome. essentially, what that means is his muscles get weaker and weaker and there is no cure for it. so the judge gave his ruling today that great ormond street could do that and as you would expect, extremely emotional scenes in the courtroom as he gave his judgment, emotional scenes in the courtroom as he gave hisjud

is not part of the there is a technical issue because thejudge is not part of the ninth circuit.egal details. there is an issue here and the president had a point that there seems to be more liberal and more conservative courts in the us and that may come as a surprise to people who live in countries where judges are not politically appointed. but here they are by presidents and you end up with what is called for shopping work if you have a political cause you go to a conservative court or a more liberal court and you hope your calls will be heard by one of the judges there. so he thinks there are too many liberaljudges in so he thinks there are too many liberal judges in san so he thinks there are too many liberaljudges in san francisco and of course democrats are going to san francisco. the thing is there has been a lot of anger on the front pages today saying he and he goes again, criticising thejudges. some people would say you know what, judges are big boys and girls, they know the rough—and—tumble of the legal world, they make big decisions, they do have much power. why sho

today, mustafa bashir was sent straight to jail, thejudge saying he'd been fundamentally misled.ant that you tell the truth, as mr bashirfound out today to his cost. the judge also addressed criticism he'd faced for saying bashir‘s victim, his former wife, was not particularly vulnerable. he said: this evening, i spoke to mustafa bashir‘s ex—wife, who has asked not to be named. she told me she had been upset by the originally court hearing, but said that she was pleased to hear thejudge's comments and decision today. she said, "i feel relaxed, i feel strong. now, i feel free." tonight, mustafa bashir is spending his first night in prison — paying notjust for his violence, but for the lengths he went to to avoid jail. the stage and screen actor tim pigott smith has died. it's not enough to say i'm english and you're indian, but i'm a ruler and you're one of the ruled. he was well known for his portrayal of ronald merrick in the epic drama, jewel in the crown in the ‘80s, for which he won a bafta. and in his most recent role he played sniggs in the new bbc adaptation of evelyn waug

many annoyed by the higher holiday prices, but sympathy too for thejudges' view that if too many childrenl, it's disruptive. if everyone took their children out of school because of cheaper holidays, then school wouldn't be the same. i think school is important. i'm a teacher myself. i think children need to be in there. but occasionally i can see why parents do take their children out of school, because the holiday companiesjust ramp up the prices during the school holidays, which is a bit unfair really. i think they should be taken out of school, because they always did in our day and it never did us any harm. a week or two, they don't miss that much and they learn so much when they're on holiday. elisha works in a cafe at this seaside town. she says it's hard for parents who have seasonal work. we are busiest in the half—terms and the summer holidays, so it's hard to get time off work, and it's easier when we're not in season. parents have a legal duty across the uk to get their children to school regularly, but the chances of a fine depend on where you live. wales, the exception, wher

thejudge ruled there could be no benefit to taking charlie abroad. the judge said it was with the heaviest of hearts, but with complete conviction, that he ruled that all treatment except palliative care be withdrawn to permit charlie to die with dignity. charlie‘s parents are back by their son‘s bedside, their legal team say they‘re devastated. connie and chris are facing every parent‘s worse nightmare, they‘re struggling to understand why the court has not at least given charlie the chance of treatment in america. the medical evidence is complex and the treatment offered potentially groundbreaking. these are not easy issues, and they remain utterly committed, like any parent, to wanting to do their utmost for their child. we just wanted to be given a chance because, you know, you're never going to find treatments or cures for these things if you never try anything. and the public responded. 82,000 people made online donations totalling more £1.2 million. it was to pay for treatment in the united states so experimental it‘s never been tried on human

thejudge has read the evidence, and it was defra's own evidence that up to a0,000 people a year die ofir pollution in the uk. and what the judge said is merely because there is an election going on, doesn't trump the public health. this is not a political issue, one day of delay is important. weeks or months is intolerable. that is what the judge decided and in my view he was right. make no mistake this was a huge blow to the government's attempt to keep a lid on the growing scandal of air pollution. the judge was in fact contemptuous on the government's attempt to delay again the publication of a plan to clean—up the air. he told them in terms to get on with it because delays mean people are dying. in hisjudgment, thejudge said: a big contributor to this problem say researchers is the government encouraging drives to buy diesel cars because they produce less c02 than petrol cars. diesel went from being under 10% of sales in 1995, to over half by the start of this decade. people who bought diesels in good faith need to transfer to clean vehicles, that is part of what needs to happen, h

i think that is actually what has made this decision easier for thejudge and what has made this decision easier for the judge and further doctors, because they firmly believe that more treatment would put little charlie in more pain. i think that is right and i think this is a case where we all have to accept that everyone is acting in good faith and trying to do their best for charlie. i think it deserves its prominence oi'i i think it deserves its prominence on the front page because there are important societal issues here. who can we say it has the best interests of the child at heart? is it the parents or the judge? the judgment we nt parents or the judge? the judgment went to the hospital. he did his job. if ever there went to the hospital. he did his job. if everthere is went to the hospital. he did his job. if ever there is a case that needs to go to a higher court, this is the one. the parents say we think there is something else we would like to try. as a society we have exercised our duty of care getting him this farand exercised our duty of care getting him this far and the t

thejudge ruled there could be no benefit to taking charlie abroad., there was only one possible outcome to this tragic case. the judge said it was with the heaviest of hearts, but with complete conviction, that he ruled that all treatment except palliative care be withdrawn to permit charlie to die with dignity. charlie's parents are back by their son's bedside, their legal team say they're devastated. connie and chris are facing every parent's worse nightmare, they're struggling to understand why the court has not at least given charlie the chance of treatment in america. the medical evidence is complex and the treatment offered potentially groundbreaking. these are not easy issues, and they remain utterly committed, like any parent, to wanting to do their utmost for their child. we just wanted to be given a chance because, you know, you're never going to find treatments or cures for these things if you never try anything. and the public responded. 82,000 people made online donations totalling more £1.2 million. it was to pay for treatment in the un

therefore, twitter has asked thejudge here identities.e here to refuse the request calling it an issue of free speech. twitter‘s move has been strongly backed by groups who support strong online privacy. twitter is protecting its users here. i think as a platform it really wa nts here. i think as a platform it really wants to be a place where people can speak freely. yeah, i think this is really important for them to be doing and i think they're doing it from a place of actually wanting to protect their users and protect speech. president trump famously loves using twitter because he says it gives him the freedom to say what he wants without having to go via the mainstream media. with this lawsuit twitter is saying that freedom should apply to everybody on the network, even if they're anonymous and even if they're criticising the commander in chief. just saying his beard gets thicker and thicker! richard dunnebarjoins and thicker! richard dunnebar joins us. and thicker! richard dunnebarjoins us. usjobs, it's that time of the month, it's f

sympathy for the view of thejudge holiday prices.or the view of the judge that if too many children miss school, it is disruptive. if everyone took their children out of school because of cheaper holidays, then school would not be the same. that increase out of term time is ridiculous. not be the same. that increase out of term time is ridiculouslj not be the same. that increase out of term time is ridiculous. i think they should be taken out of school because they always did in our day and it neverdid because they always did in our day and it never did as any harm. a week or two they did not miss much. in this seaside town, this woman says it is hard for parents who have seasonal work. we are busiest in the half term and summer holidays. it is ha rd to half term and summer holidays. it is hard to get time off work and easier when we are not in season. in england, parents now face a choice. pay the premium prices orface england, parents now face a choice. pay the premium prices or face the fines. it could not be more different from w

supreme court judgment was but holidays, which is what this supreme courtjudgment was about, i think thejudgeve a disruptive effect not only on the child who is being withdrawn from school but also on the other children and of course the teacher who has to plan and assess, not knowing if the child will be there from one week to the next is potentially very disruptive. i think it‘s a sensible decision and on that, i do not normally agree with the prime minister but i do agree with her on this occasion and the department for education. 0k, agreement on that, what about the labour plans for primary school pupils? i do not agree, i think labour have got their policy priorities wrong. i do not think allowing all children access to free school meals during the primary yea rs school meals during the primary years is a particularly good use of resources . years is a particularly good use of resources. at the time when schools are struggling financially and having to make budget constraints i think there is little sense in introducing a policy where it‘s not means tested, parents whether they be middl
