What does this moment mean for Mosul Jeremy Bowen is here.

What does this moment mean for Mosul and for Iraq? Well, it is cause to

celebrate, Islamic State's grip has been prised off Iraq and across the

board in Syria as well. But this does not mean peace, it does not

mean the end of their ideology, either, these jihadists groups are

very good at regenerating themselves. The problem is, Iraq and

Syria and other countries in the region have been incubators for that

kind of ideology and some of the forces, poor governance, poverty,

Shia-Sunni hatred, sectarian hatred, inter-Muslim hatred, all of that has

fed in, and those factors are still there. As for Iraq itself, all kinds

of risks of renewed civil war. The problem is, the country has been

coming apart at the seams, the Kurdish, in the North, are having an

independence referendum in September. If Iraq continues to

fracture like that, then it will be accompanied by a great deal of

violence. The parents of Charlie Gard,

11-month-old Charlie is severely disabled and brain damage, his

systems, a view supported by a High Court ruling. Today, is parents

delivered a petition signed by 350,000 people to the hospital,

after they say new medical information suggests there are some

There is just a lot of people who think what has happened here is

wrong. You know, parents know their children best. People making

decisions about him have spent very little time with him. We are there

24 hours a day. If he was suffering and in pain, we could not sit there.

Legally handing in the petition does not change anything but the

supporters and the parents are emboldened by new medical

information coming from Italy and the United States. Great Ormond

Street Hospital is not issued a statement today, doctors stand by

the original ruling. The crux of the matter is, you should have a say

over the future of Charlie, says the American pastor now supporting the

family. He denies turning this into a religious argument. Should the

courts and government officials be involved in what should be a parent

's decision? They are the ones interfering, they are the ones

usurping rights. Great Ormond Street says its doctors have explored every

possible treatment, the hospital has requested another High Court hearing
