:00:18. > :00:22.The parents of Ashya King, the five-year-old boy with
:00:23. > :00:25.a brain tumour - who was taken by them from hospital
:00:26. > :00:29.against medical advice - are being questioned by police in Spain.
:00:30. > :00:33.Ashya and his family were found by officers in Malaga last night.
:00:34. > :00:35.Police here have defended their actions in issuing a European
:00:36. > :00:51.Ashya, who is seriously ill with a brain tumour, was taken in an
:00:52. > :00:56.ambulance to Malaga's Children's Hospital where he is being treated.
:00:57. > :01:02.His parents have been arrested by the Spanish police, a police source
:01:03. > :01:05.told me they were arrested on suspicion of maltreatment of a
:01:06. > :01:12.child, it is an allegation that his parents strongly denied. Before his
:01:13. > :01:19.arrest, Ashya's father released this video insisting they were taking
:01:20. > :01:22.care of his son. We were most disturbed to find his face was all
:01:23. > :01:28.over the Internet and newspapers and we have been labelled as kidnappers.
:01:29. > :01:31.There is nothing to suggest they broke the law when they removed
:01:32. > :01:33.their son from the hospital in Hampshire. There has been
:01:34. > :01:36.significant debate about the appropriateness of police
:01:37. > :01:40.involvement in the case, today the Hampshire Police defended their
:01:41. > :01:45.actions. Medical experts were saying, if he didn't get the care he
:01:46. > :01:49.needed there was a potential threat to his life. Faced with those
:01:50. > :01:54.circumstances I make no apology for the pleas being as proactive as we
:01:55. > :02:00.can to find him and make sure he gets the help he needed -- the
:02:01. > :02:04.police. Ashya's father said they wanted to sell their property near
:02:05. > :02:12.Marbella, to fund a treatment which is not available in the UK, but he
:02:13. > :02:18.was worried about doctors and how they would react at Southampton
:02:19. > :02:22.hospital. If I asked anything, if I gave any doubt, they said they would
:02:23. > :02:25.get a protection order, in his deepest darkest hour, it meant I
:02:26. > :02:32.would not be there to look after him. When this lady 's son had a
:02:33. > :02:40.tumour in his face, they travel to the United States for proton beam
:02:41. > :02:43.their appeal. My heart goes out to them, I understand where they are
:02:44. > :02:46.coming from, you have to do everything within your power to make
:02:47. > :02:51.it right, we would have sold everything we owned to pay for the
:02:52. > :02:55.treatment. The complex and sensitive nature of this story means it is
:02:56. > :02:57.hard to predict what will happen next. But everybody shares one
:02:58. > :03:12.priority: The health of boy. We have had a statement from the
:03:13. > :03:16.hospital from Southampton where he was being treated, what does this
:03:17. > :03:19.say? That's right, the hospital saying they are delighted he has
:03:20. > :03:24.been found and they are aware of the comments of his father he has made
:03:25. > :03:27.online. They say they have had conversations with the family
:03:28. > :03:31.throughout the treatment and they've discussed the possibility of Ashya
:03:32. > :03:35.having treatment abroad. They say they are working closely with the
:03:36. > :03:41.authorities in this part of Spain. What will happen to Ashya's parents,
:03:42. > :03:47.now, they have been questioned by Spanish police since they were
:03:48. > :03:50.arrested late last night. It followed an international arrest
:03:51. > :03:54.warrant yesterday afternoon which was issued. The Spanish police were
:03:55. > :04:00.working on the basis of that. It is not clear, there is nothing to
:04:01. > :04:04.suggest that Ashya's parents committed any criminal offence after
:04:05. > :04:09.they removed him from the hospital on Thursday and there has been
:04:10. > :04:14.plenty of sympathy on the social media, people believe they have been
:04:15. > :04:17.criminalised. We expect Hampshire Police officers to arrive in the
:04:18. > :04:20.Costa del Sol later today and it is unclear what will happen next.
:04:21. > :04:23.Russia's President, Vladimir Putin, says talks on ending the conflict
:04:24. > :04:25.in eastern Ukraine must include discussions on protecting the
:04:26. > :04:30.European leaders have warned they'll impose additional sanctions
:04:31. > :04:35.against Russia if the President doesn't change tack within a week.
:04:36. > :04:43.Here's our Diplomatic Correspondent, Paul Adams.
:04:44. > :04:49.In the southern Ukrainian city of Mariupol, a defiant human chain.
:04:50. > :04:53.Since the fall of the nearby town on Wednesday, residents have been
:04:54. > :04:58.bracing themselves for an assault, possibly involving Russian troops.
:04:59. > :05:03.Why are you bringing death, asks this poster, of Russia, a sense of
:05:04. > :05:06.danger now driving the European diplomatic response. In Brussels
:05:07. > :05:10.last night the Ukrainian president spoke of the threat of full-scale
:05:11. > :05:14.war, the response among European leaders was a warning to Russia to
:05:15. > :05:20.withdraw forces and equipment immediately and a pledge to draw up
:05:21. > :05:23.new sanctions within one week. It is a deeply serious situation and we
:05:24. > :05:28.have to show real resolve and resilience in demonstrating to
:05:29. > :05:33.Russia, if she carries on in this way the relationship between Europe
:05:34. > :05:36.and Russia, Britain and Russia, and America and Russia will be radically
:05:37. > :05:40.different in the future, they cannot go on in this way. The German
:05:41. > :05:50.Chancellor Angela Merkel said Vladimir Putin
:05:51. > :05:50.no agreement yet on what they should be an plenty of scepticism among
:05:51. > :05:57.Central and Eastern European members. A diplomatic solution still
:05:58. > :06:01.what everybody wants to see. There can be no military solution to this
:06:02. > :06:04.crisis, we need to get down to the business of peacemaking, it is not
:06:05. > :06:10.too late but time is quickly running out. Overnight Ukraine and Russia
:06:11. > :06:14.swapped prisoners, Ukraine handing over ten Russian paratroopers
:06:15. > :06:18.captured one week ago, and Russia returning more than 60 Ukrainian
:06:19. > :06:23.soldiers who had crossed the border under rebel fire. As some refugees
:06:24. > :06:26.also returned to the Ukraine from Russia, Vladimir Putin said it was
:06:27. > :06:29.up to the government in Kiev to stop the fighting.
:06:30. > :06:32.In Iraq, security forces are reported to have gone into the town
:06:33. > :06:35.of Amerli which had been beseiged by Islamic State extremists.
:06:36. > :06:37.Earlier air strikes against the militants were carried
:06:38. > :06:43.Aid supplies have been dropped to residents.
:06:44. > :06:48.Our Correspondent, Jim Muir, is in Northern Iraq now.
:06:49. > :06:56.Jim, you are very near the point where this has been happening, what
:06:57. > :07:02.have you seen? That's right, well, just a few miles away from Amerli,
:07:03. > :07:08.you may be able to see some Shi'ite militia behind me, taking part in
:07:09. > :07:12.what they call the liberation of Amerli, it is a short distance to
:07:13. > :07:22.the south west from here. We have been at front line positions
:07:23. > :07:25.occupied by Peshmerga fighters, operating with sniper rifles,
:07:26. > :07:30.machine guns and long-range artillery. Plumes of smoke over the
:07:31. > :07:35.Islamic positions, the joint forces of Iraqi army with these Shi'ite
:07:36. > :07:38.militias went in from the south-west and south-east on two fronts, and
:07:39. > :07:42.they say they have penetrated into the town and broken the siege but
:07:43. > :07:46.they are saying it is too dangerous to go there at the moment. There are
:07:47. > :07:50.a lot of roadside bombs and booby traps left behind by the departing
:07:51. > :07:56.Islamists and the place is not deemed safe but it seems the
:07:57. > :07:59.blockade which has gone on for two months now on this minority of
:08:00. > :08:04.people trapped there seems to have been broken. The breakthrough has
:08:05. > :08:08.happened, but it is not stable enough apparently for us to be
:08:09. > :08:12.allowed into actually bear witness. Thank you for joining us.
:08:13. > :08:13.And the BBC understands the government is
:08:14. > :08:15.considering introducing temporary bans on UK-born jihadists in Iraq
:08:16. > :08:22.The government had been considering ways to remove citizenship
:08:23. > :08:25.from those suspected of being involved in terrorist acts, but that
:08:26. > :08:27.now they are considering ways of preventing them from returning
:08:28. > :08:41.The Royal College of GPs is calling for an emergency
:08:42. > :08:43.government taskforce to be set up to monitor childhood obesity.
:08:44. > :08:46.In a letter to the Chief Medical Officer, doctors leaders say that
:08:47. > :08:48.an entire generation of children is being destroyed by
:08:49. > :08:53.They warn this could be the first generation of children who
:08:54. > :09:08.It is estimated that one third of children and young adults are
:09:09. > :09:11.overweight or obese. This according to the Royal Oak GPs amounts to a
:09:12. > :09:18.state of emergency. The problem is too much junk food and not enough
:09:19. > :09:20.exercise. Doctors say treatment for childhood condition macro is a
:09:21. > :09:27.postcode lottery with some areas offering no help at all. Because
:09:28. > :09:30.responsibility has passed down locally it is a patchwork of
:09:31. > :09:34.provision which ranges from a letter from the school to say your child is
:09:35. > :09:38.overweight and saying consult your local health professional or it can
:09:39. > :09:43.be an appointment with a dietician and a six-week programme, we need
:09:44. > :09:49.much more than that. We are failing children, we are condemning children
:09:50. > :09:53.to a lifetime of ill health. The Royal College of GPs says one answer
:09:54. > :09:57.would be a tax on sugary drinks, but that's already been rejected by the
:09:58. > :10:00.government. In a statement the Department of Health says that
:10:01. > :10:07.condition macro is at its lowest level since 1998 -- condition
:10:08. > :10:12.it is not considering attacks however on sugar, instead the
:10:13. > :10:18.government says it is investing heavily in school sport. Doctors say
:10:19. > :10:23.unless urgent action is taken now, an entire generation will soon be
:10:24. > :10:27.destroyed by junk food. And the NHS will not be able to cope.
:10:28. > :10:30.The next news on BBC One is at 6.35 this evening.
:10:31. > :10:49.Hello, it is the last day of the meteorological summer, and it is
:10:50. > :10:52.ending on a fine note. Looking back at the last month or so,
