The parents of the terminally-ill baby Charlie Gard have | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
ended their legal battle to take him to the US for | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
Charlie's father Chris Gard gave an emotional statement | :02:17. | :02:22. | |
outside the High Court, saying they were going | :02:23. | :02:24. | |
to spend their last precious moments with their son, | :02:25. | :02:26. | |
who would not now make his first birthday in just | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
Earlier, their lawyer told the Court that "time had | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
run out" for the baby, as an American doctor who examined | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
Charlie had said he could no longer offer the therapy, | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
after seeing the results of a new MRI scan last week. | :02:40. | :02:41. | |
Doctors at Great Ormond Street hospital say the treatment | :02:42. | :02:43. | |
Here's our Medical Correspondent Fergus Walsh. | :02:44. | :02:52. | |
CROWD CHANT: "Shame on GOSH!" War emotion outside the High Court. | :02:53. | :03:01. | |
While inside Charlie Gard's parents were accepting their fight is over. | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
And they're desperately ill son should be allowed to die. They | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
emerged from a highly emotional hearing to pay tribute to Charlie. | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
Our son is an absolute warrior and we could not be proud of him, and we | :03:16. | :03:22. | |
will miss him terribly. His body, heart and soul may soon be gone, but | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
his spirit will live on for eternity and he'll make a difference to | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
people's lives for years to come, we'll make sure of that. We're now | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
going to spend our last precious moments with our son, Charlie. Who, | :03:36. | :03:42. | |
unfortunately, won't make his first birthday in just under two weeks' | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
time. Charlie has been in intensive care in Great Ormond Street Hospital | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
since October. He has a rare inherited condition. Mitochondrial | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
depletion syndrome. He cannot move, feed or breathe unaided. The central | :03:58. | :04:03. | |
question was whether this powder, nucleoside therapy, added to food, | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
could boost his muscle function. It's never been tried on animals or | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
humans with his condition. His parents raised ?1.3 million for the | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
treatment in the United States. That money will now go to a foundation in | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
Charlie's name. But every neurologist examined him said the | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
treatment was futile because by January he had suffered catastrophic | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
and irreversible brain damage. The High Court had to intervene, and in | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
April backed the doctors, saying Charlie's suffering should end. His | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
life support be withdrawn. Every legal appeal by the parents failed. | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
But they had powerful supporters, including the Pope and Donald Trump, | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
the latter tweeting an offer of help. This has been an extraordinary | :04:51. | :04:57. | |
case, a battle over the fate of a baby boy fought out not just here in | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
court, but internationally. The judge said it was one of the | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
pitfalls of social media that the watching world felt it right to have | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
opinions without knowing the facts of the caves. He said the court's | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
paramount consideration had been Charlie's best interest at all | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
times. The case came back to court when this American neurologist, Doug | :05:19. | :05:27. | |
Free macro, claimed there was new evidence his therapy could help. -- | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
Hirano. He and a doctor from the Vatican flew over to examine Charlie | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
for the first time. New MRI body scans were ordered. On Friday night | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
Charlie's parents accepted these showed his muscle wasting was so | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
severe he was beyond help. There was bitterness he did not get the chance | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
of treatment sooner. A whole lot of time has been wasted. We are now in | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
July and our poor boy has been left to just lie in hospital for months. | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
Had Charlie been given treatment sooner, he would have had the | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
potential to be a normal, healthy little boy. In court, Connie Yates | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
said they would be haunted by the what ifs for the rest of their | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
lives. But now they had to let Charlie go. It's an incredibly brave | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
decision by Charlie's parents. They have bought through for themselves | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
what the new evidence shows. And they've reached a conclusion, | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
probably, the judge would have reached the same. It's very brave | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
for them to do it without hearing what he had to say. Great Ormond | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
Street Hospital said this had been a bruising court case, adding, the | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
agony, desolation and bravery of the parents decision humbled all who | :06:38. | :06:44. | |
worked there. They are now supporting the family in their final | :06:45. | :06:45. | |
time together. Listening to Charlie's parents, | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
it's clear they feel there might have been hope if there'd been | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
an earlier intervention. That's right, the parents and the | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
hospital are never going to agree on what was best for Charlie. It was | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
deeply moving in court when Charlie's mum, Connie, read out this | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
anguished statement that he'd been denied the chance of being a normal | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
boy. Some of the press and the lawyers were in tears. The hospital | :07:13. | :07:20. | |
will point out he had, he has, a severe progressive mitochondrial | :07:21. | :07:22. | |
disorder. It's a cruel condition that wastes the muscles and is | :07:23. | :07:28. | |
generally fatal in infancy. We've heard from the parents the doctors | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
and staff at Great Ormond Street Hospital who devote their lives to | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
caring for sick children, they have necessarily remained anonymous and | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
many of them have received death threats. This frustration, I think, | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
that some of those who offered to help Charlie and said he could be | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
helped by the experimental therapy had never even examined him until | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
this week. That had raised false hopes and expectations. Now the | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
focus moves to Charlie's final hours, perhaps days. He will receive | :08:00. | :08:06. | |
palliative care. He's already on morphine, on pain relief. It will be | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
increased before the ventilator that helps in brief is switched off. | :08:10. | :08:16. | |
Charlie will then obviously pass away. -- that helps him breathe. The | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
war of words about what was best for this little boy will continue. | :08:22. | :08:23. | |
Fergus, thank you. President Trump's son-in-law, | :08:24. | :08:26. | |

Jon Sopel is in Washington. Donald Trump has been absolutely | :08:38. | :08:51. | |

went on Twitter today to say, a year-long investigation and zero | :08:57. | :08:59. | |

said to have direct links to Vladimir Putin. But one thing he was | :10:51. | :10:57. | |
insistent. These meetings made zero difference to the outcome of the | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
election. Donald Trump at a better message and ran a smarter campaign. | :11:03. | :11:08. | |
And that is why he won. Suggesting otherwise ridicules those who voted | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
for him. But today as Donald Trump was framed by over 100 White House | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
interns, he was doing some ridiculing of his own, as reporters | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
sought to ask disobliging questions. Is it true Jeff Sessions resigned? | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
First by saying nothing... And then by letting rip. She's breaking the | :11:29. | :11:36. | |
code. He sounded similarly difficult to keep his opinions to himself over | :11:37. | :11:41. | |

Consumers in the UK could save up to ?40 billion by 2050 | :11:48. | :11:50. | |
through major changes to the way electricity is made, used | :11:51. | :11:52. | |
The Business and Energy Secretary Greg Clark announced plans to invest | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
a quarter of a billion pounds in battery technology - | :11:57. | :11:59. | |
saying he wanted the UK to lead the world in its development. | :12:00. | :12:01. | |
From obvious things like our phones to London's | :12:02. | :12:11. | |
To this experimental aircraft, battery power is taking | :12:12. | :12:17. | |
The problem is, they still run out too quickly, so today | :12:18. | :12:23. | |
the government's promised to invest millions improving the technology. | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
For the next generation of battery technology, | :12:30. | :12:32. | |
there is nowhere better in the world than Britain, not only | :12:33. | :12:35. | |
to have the ideas, but to turn them into manufacturing plants | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
Right now, Britain is a front runner with battery research. | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
Like here at Warwick University where they're trying to solve | :12:46. | :12:47. | |
the two biggest issues, making batteries weigh | :12:48. | :12:49. | |
This room is four times drier than the centre | :12:50. | :12:57. | |
of the Sahara desert, because it's where they physically | :12:58. | :13:00. | |
put the batteries together and any moisture can ruin the process. | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
Taking sheets like this, containing the lithium ions, | :13:05. | :13:06. | |
and they're sandwiching them together in this machine. | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
Here, they've welcomed this latest investment, | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
but warned that competition from China, Japan, Korea | :13:15. | :13:16. | |
We are producing the cells we're producing, even our competitors | :13:17. | :13:30. | |
But we've got to keep it up, you know, because they'll catch | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
up and they'll beat us if we don't watch it. | :13:36. | :13:38. | |
As governments around the world scramble to cut pollution, | :13:39. | :13:39. | |
In China, they used ?5 billion worth of lithium ion | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
It's the same story across western Europe. | :13:44. | :13:50. | |
Again production will nearly double from 1.2 billion to ?2.3 billion. | :13:51. | :13:56. | |
Batteries could also make wind and solar power more productive. | :13:57. | :13:58. | |
One idea being floated is to use old electric car batteries to store | :13:59. | :14:01. | |
I think we'll see, and people are already working on this, | :14:02. | :14:05. | |
in the UK, combining batteries with the production | :14:06. | :14:07. | |
And if you can do that successfully at scale, | :14:08. | :14:21. | |
you can remove the challenge that the wind doesn't blow | :14:22. | :14:23. | |
all the time and the sun doesn't always shine. | :14:24. | :14:25. | |
And you can have a continuous flow of energy into the great. | :14:26. | :14:30. | |
The future looks electric, but now the pressure's on to make | :14:31. | :14:32. | |

A brief look at some of the day's other other news stories. | :14:41. | :14:43. | |
Police searching for the missing toddler Ben Needham have found signs | :14:44. | :14:47. | |
of blood on part of a sandal, and on soil inside a toy car. | :14:48. | :14:50. | |
Ben was 21 months old when he disappeared on the Greek island | :14:51. | :14:53. | |
South Yorkshire Police said forensic work was being carried out | :14:54. | :14:58. | |
to try to extract DNA from the blood. | :14:59. | :15:02. | |
Missiles have been thrown at police in North London following a vigil | :15:03. | :15:05. | |
that had taken place for Rashan Charles. | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
The 20-year-old died after being arrested by police | :15:10. | :15:11. | |
in a shop in the early hours of Saturday morning. | :15:12. | :15:14. | |
Police say Mr Charles was seen to swallow | :15:15. | :15:16. | |
His death is being investigated by the police watchdog the IPCC. | :15:17. | :15:24. | |
The Transport Secretary Chris Grayling has been criticised | :15:25. | :15:26. | |
for backing London's Crossrail 2 project days after scrapping | :15:27. | :15:29. | |
electrification schemes in Wales and in northern England. | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
The Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham, said people would not | :15:35. | :15:37. | |
accept that "spending billions more on London is the country's highest | :15:38. | :15:40. | |
The Met Office says there's an increased risk of unprecedented | :15:41. | :15:47. | |
winter downpours such as those that caused extensive flooding in 2014. | :15:48. | :15:53. | |
Using a supercomputer to map future weather patterns, | :15:54. | :15:57. | |
it's revealed there's now a one in three chance of monthly rainfall | :15:58. | :16:00. | |
records being broken in England and Wales in winter. | :16:01. | :16:07. | |
More than 30 people have been killed and more than 40 injured | :16:08. | :16:10. | |
in a suicide bomb attack in the Afghan capital Kabul. | :16:11. | :16:13. | |
The Taliban say they carried out the bombing during | :16:14. | :16:16. | |
of parts of the country, after being driven from power | :16:17. | :16:22. | |
following a US-led invasion 16 years ago. | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
Our correspondent Justin Rowlatt is in Kabul, and reports | :16:27. | :16:28. | |
on the continuing fight there against the group. | :16:29. | :16:34. | |
The suicide attacker struck at 7am, exploding his bomb right beside | :16:35. | :16:38. | |
This shopkeeper describes how one man staggered into his doorway | :16:39. | :16:46. | |
Attacks on Kabul are common, but the bombs are getting bigger. | :16:47. | :17:03. | |
The trauma ward is quiet, but there is anger in the city - | :17:04. | :17:06. | |
This is the second huge blast in Kabul in as many months. | :17:07. | :17:12. | |
The government promised to increase security, | :17:13. | :17:15. | |
but this attack shows just how vulnerable the city still is. | :17:16. | :17:22. | |
The Taliban has been growing in strength since the Nato combat | :17:23. | :17:26. | |
mission in Afghanistan ended two and a half years ago. | :17:27. | :17:29. | |
The insurgents now control a tenth of the country. | :17:30. | :17:32. | |
They contest another third, and Islamic State | :17:33. | :17:38. | |
President Trump has promised a new strategy | :17:39. | :17:42. | |
His military advisers want a significant increase in troops, | :17:43. | :17:54. | |
taking the total of foreign soldiers close to 20,000. | :17:55. | :18:01. | |
But at the peak of the war there were 130,000 foreign troops here, | :18:02. | :18:04. | |
This American-led training exercise is a key part of the argument | :18:05. | :18:15. | |
the US military is making to justify more troops. | :18:16. | :18:21. | |
Strengthening Afghan forces, so they can fight on their own. | :18:22. | :18:27. | |
Air support makes all the difference in the world. | :18:28. | :18:29. | |
It's something you have that they don't have. | :18:30. | :18:31. | |
So, training the Afghan military to have an air force | :18:32. | :18:36. | |
when the insurgents don't have an air force provides | :18:37. | :18:38. | |
The hope is, eventually, the Afghan military will be able | :18:39. | :18:44. | |
to force the Taliban to the negotiating table. | :18:45. | :18:48. | |
That would, at best, be a hollow victory and, | :18:49. | :18:50. | |
if it's successful at all, could take many, many years. | :18:51. | :18:55. | |
The other option, of course, is to pull out. | :18:56. | :18:58. | |
Greenland is one of the most remote parts of our planet - | :18:59. | :19:09. | |
but changes there could affect us here in the UK. | :19:10. | :19:12. | |
Scientists are worried the country's ice sheet is melting | :19:13. | :19:14. | |
That could see ocean levels rise and low-lying areas around | :19:15. | :19:19. | |
Our science editor David Shukman has been to Greenland to look | :19:20. | :19:25. | |
A vivid blue snakes across the Greenland ice sheets. | :19:26. | :19:33. | |
A beautiful sight, but when the ice here melts the oceans | :19:34. | :19:36. | |
On the horizon, the ice sheet looms ahead of us. | :19:37. | :19:45. | |
We've joined a team of British scientists. | :19:46. | :19:48. | |
They're trying to understand how the ice is changing. | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
People are very worried about the possibility that the ice | :19:53. | :19:56. | |
sheet might be melting faster and faster in the future. | :19:57. | :20:02. | |
We touch down in one of the remotest corners of the planet. | :20:03. | :20:11. | |
The first task is to set up camp - a home in an utterly | :20:12. | :20:15. | |
Once it's level, I'll leave it to you to take the measurements. | :20:16. | :20:24. | |
Painstaking research, to measure how quickly it might vanish. | :20:25. | :20:30. | |
From the air, all you can really see is what looks like a vast | :20:31. | :20:34. | |
expanse of endless white, but that isn't the whole story. | :20:35. | :20:39. | |
Because what's hard to grasp as I stand here is that this is just | :20:40. | :20:42. | |
the surface of a vast mass of ice that's unbelievably thick. | :20:43. | :20:47. | |
So, let's imagine cutting it away right in front of me. | :20:48. | :20:53. | |
The ice sheet stretches for as much as two miles, three kilometres, | :20:54. | :20:56. | |
from the surface here, right down to the rock below. | :20:57. | :21:01. | |
In fact it's so thick you could take the world's tallest building, | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, and fit four of them, | :21:06. | :21:07. | |
But as we walk around, there's a real surprise, | :21:08. | :21:16. | |
white ice is turning dark - and the darker a surface, | :21:17. | :21:19. | |
And, like wearing a black T-shirt on a hot day, | :21:20. | :21:25. | |
Martin Tranter, the chief scientist here, says one | :21:26. | :21:37. | |
reason for the dark ice is algae, tiny plants. | :21:38. | :21:41. | |
Algae have always been here but, with higher temperatures and more | :21:42. | :21:43. | |
The algae are microscopically small, but they may be having a big impact. | :21:44. | :21:50. | |
What we want to know is how far the algae can spread over | :21:51. | :21:55. | |
the Greenland ice sheet as the climate warms. | :21:56. | :21:59. | |
And it might well be that they will cause more melting, | :22:00. | :22:02. | |
and an acceleration of sea-level rise. | :22:03. | :22:07. | |
To investigate that, drones are used to scan the dark | :22:08. | :22:09. | |
areas of the ice sheet, so the scientists can work out | :22:10. | :22:14. | |
how rising temperatures could encourage the algae and lead | :22:15. | :22:16. | |
In the evening light, the shimmer of gentle | :22:17. | :22:24. | |
Until recently, the amount of ice melting in summer was balanced | :22:25. | :22:30. | |
But in the last 20 years the flows of water have multiplied, | :22:31. | :22:38. | |
each one eventually adding to the level of the oceans. | :22:39. | :22:43. | |
No-one's saying that this whole thing is going to melt in the next | :22:44. | :22:46. | |
decade, or even in the next hundred, or even the next thousand years, | :22:47. | :22:50. | |
but it doesn't all have to melt for more people to be in danger. | :22:51. | :22:53. | |
Only a small amount, a very small portion of this ice | :22:54. | :22:56. | |
sheet has to melt to raise the sea levels, and then threaten millions | :22:57. | :22:59. | |
of people in coastal communities around the world. | :23:00. | :23:03. | |
What's striking is that this massive block of ice may be vulnerable | :23:04. | :23:10. | |
if more algae darken the surface and lead to faster melting. | :23:11. | :23:15. | |
Down at the edge of the ice sheet, the streams become a torrent. | :23:16. | :23:19. | |
We already know that meltwater is raising the level | :23:20. | :23:22. | |
of the sea bit by bit, but the researchers here | :23:23. | :23:25. | |
want to find out whether that rise will accelerate. | :23:26. | :23:30. | |
And for people in low-lying areas of Florida, Bangladesh, | :23:31. | :23:32. | |
parts of Britain, getting an accurate forecast really matters. | :23:33. | :23:39. | |

More than 2,500 products have reduced in size over | :23:45. | :23:46. | |
the last five years - but we're still paying | :23:47. | :23:48. | |
New findings show that chocolate bars, toilet rolls, | :23:49. | :23:53. | |
and coffee are just some of the items to have been | :23:54. | :23:56. | |
affected by the phenomenon, dubbed shrinkflation. | :23:57. | :23:59. | |
Some companies are blaming the rising costs of ingredients | :24:00. | :24:02. | |
Our correspondent Sophie Long has been finding out more. | :24:03. | :24:08. | |
Andrex is soft, strong and unbeatably long. | :24:09. | :24:12. | |

Back in the olden days, when I was spending my pocket | :24:27. | :24:38. | |
money on pick 'n' mix, 50p certainly went a lot further. | :24:39. | :24:41. | |
Nowadays, though, some companies are choosing not | :24:42. | :24:46. | |
to raise their prices, but make things smaller. | :24:47. | :24:48. | |
I'd like some more cola bottles, please. | :24:49. | :24:55. | |
While many of us could probably do with cutting back | :24:56. | :24:58. | |
on our confectionery consumption, some products suffering so-called | :24:59. | :25:00. | |
shrinkflation could be considered essentials. | :25:01. | :25:08. | |
A packet of McVitie's dark chocolate digestives is now 32 grams lighter. | :25:09. | :25:17. | |
And a carton of Tropicana Orange and Rasberry is now 850 millilitres. | :25:18. | :25:20. | |
You know, on low income families and people who have children | :25:21. | :25:31. | |
to feed, it's not really fair, is it? | :25:32. | :25:36. | |
If the packaging's made to look the same size, | :25:37. | :25:38. | |
so it looks the same size but it actually isn't, then... | :25:39. | :25:42. | |
They'd still lose out in the long run because you | :25:43. | :25:45. | |
I just think we have to put up with it. | :25:46. | :25:53. | |
And it's something analysts say we're going to have to get used to. | :25:54. | :25:58. | |
It's a hidden inflation, shrinkflation. | :25:59. | :26:00. | |
Because consumers are, I suppose, less likely to notice a smaller | :26:01. | :26:03. | |
package than they are to notice, of course, higher | :26:04. | :26:05. | |
And that makes it easier, it's the lesser of two evils | :26:06. | :26:10. | |
for producers who are looking to manage the higher costs | :26:11. | :26:12. | |
of imported prices due to the pound's fall. | :26:13. | :26:16. | |
Manufacturers say their products are just as good and they're just | :26:17. | :26:19. | |
Great Britain's swimmers have won two gold medals | :26:20. | :26:27. | |
at the World Championships in Hungary. | :26:28. | :26:30. | |
Olympic gold medallist Adam Peaty successfully defended his 100 metre | :26:31. | :26:40. | |
breaststroke World Title - setting a new Championship record. | :26:41. | :26:43. | |
But he just missed breaking his own World Record. | :26:44. | :26:49. | |
England's cricket World Cup triumph could be a springboard | :26:50. | :26:51. | |
That's according to England's captain, Heather Knight, whose side | :26:52. | :26:58. | |
beat India by nine runs in front of a sell-out 26,000 crowd | :26:59. | :27:01. | |
Some are asking if this could be a watershed moment | :27:02. | :27:05. | |
It was the perfect platform for women's sport. | :27:06. | :27:15. | |
England's cricketers, crowned champions on home soil. | :27:16. | :27:20. | |
Anya Shrubsole had been the team's hero, her record-breaking spell | :27:21. | :27:22. | |
of six wickets for 46 runs securing a thrilling victory over India. | :27:23. | :27:28. | |
Before the match, her father Ian posted photos of his daughter | :27:29. | :27:31. | |
And this morning, in the exact same spot and after a night | :27:32. | :27:37. | |
of celebrations, she told me what it was like to have | :27:38. | :27:39. | |
I just remember being here as a nine-year old watching, | :27:40. | :27:48. | |
and wishing one day I could be back here playing. | :27:49. | :27:50. | |
Never in my wildest dream did I think it would be | :27:51. | :27:53. | |
It shows you can have a dream, and sometimes they do come true. | :27:54. | :28:02. | |
England have won the tournament at Lord's before in 1993. | :28:03. | :28:05. | |
But back then, they weren't allowed to go into the | :28:06. | :28:07. | |
Today, in the hallowed Long Room, the woman in charge told me | :28:08. | :28:11. | |
I think we have to celebrate properly, and enjoy this moment, | :28:12. | :28:18. | |
and the players have to enjoy it, but certainly, we all have to start | :28:19. | :28:21. | |
thinking very strategically about what opportunities | :28:22. | :28:23. | |
This is about a lot more than what this team achieved | :28:24. | :28:27. | |
Both in terms of the attendance here in the ground, | :28:28. | :28:33. | |
and the estimated 100 million television audience following | :28:34. | :28:36. | |
the action around the world, it broke all records. | :28:37. | :28:40. | |

Johanna Konta's already become the first British woman | :28:44. | :28:50. | |
in a Wimbledon semifinal for 39 years. | :28:51. | :28:54. | |
England's footballers, meanwhile, are doing well at the Euros, | :28:55. | :28:56. | |
But away from performances, there's still a gender gap. | :28:57. | :29:01. | |
In terms of prize-money, 83% of sports now reward | :29:02. | :29:03. | |
women and men equally, and 5% of sports media coverage | :29:04. | :29:06. | |
is dedicated to women, and even less when it comes | :29:07. | :29:08. | |
I think there's still a long way to go in terms of women | :29:09. | :29:17. | |
in the boardroom, women running sport, as well as | :29:18. | :29:19. | |
Women in coaching, women in refereeing and umpiring, | :29:20. | :29:25. | |
all of us know there is still a long way to go. | :29:26. | :29:28. | |
It emerged today that, despite preparing to defend | :29:29. | :29:31. | |
their World Cup title next month, most of England's rugby players | :29:32. | :29:34. | |
will not have their contracts renewed by the RFU. | :29:35. | :29:38. | |
On a day when England's cricketing World Champions were busy trying | :29:39. | :29:41. | |
to leave a legacy with this coaching session at Lord's, it was a reminder | :29:42. | :29:44. | |
of just how tough life can still be for some sportswomen. | :29:45. | :29:47. | |
But for the next generation, never before has there been so much | :29:48. | :29:50. | |
