Great Ormond Street hospital says its staff are receiving death | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
threats and outrageous abuse over the Charlie Gard case. | :00:07. | :00:11. | |
It says doctors and nurses have faced a shocking | :00:12. | :00:13. | |
and disgraceful tide of hostility, with thousands of abusive messages | :00:14. | :00:18. | |
online and families of patients harassed in the street. | :00:19. | :00:23. | |
It comes as the High Court considers whether critically ill Charlie | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
would benefit from the experimental medical treatment demanded by his | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
As the US Congress prepares to question Donald Trump's family | :00:31. | :00:37. | |
over alleged collusion with Russia, the president insists he has | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
the authority to issue pardons for wrongdoing. | :00:42. | :00:46. | |
Boots says sorry, after initially rejecting calls to cut the price | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
And another milestone for British cycling, as Chris Froome | :00:51. | :00:59. | |
all but seals his fourth Tour de France title. | :01:00. | :01:21. | |
The hospital which is seeking to remove life support | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
from the seriously ill baby, Charlie Gard, has contacted | :01:27. | :01:28. | |
the police after staff received death threats. | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
Great Ormond Street Hospital said doctors and nurses had | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
faced a tide of abuse in the street and online. | :01:35. | :01:36. | |
It comes as the High Court is considering whether Charlie's | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
parents should be allowed to take him to the United States | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
That's opposed by the hospital, which argues that it's not | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
Our correspondent Laura Trant reports. | :01:48. | :01:55. | |
It's a case that's touched people around the world. Attracting a | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
growing number of campaigners who disagree with medical experts over | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
the treatment of a critically ill baby boy. | :02:06. | :02:07. | |
11-month-old Charlie Gard has a form of mitochondrial disease, | :02:08. | :02:09. | |
a condition that causes progressive muscle weakness and | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
His parents, Connie Yates and Chris Gard, want to take him | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
to the US for pioneering treatment, but Great Ormond Street Hospital | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
says it in Charlie's best interests to turn off his life-support | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
Tonight, the hospital said in a statement, | :02:27. | :02:33. | |
that their doctors and nurses have been subjected to a shocking | :02:34. | :02:35. | |
Staff have received abuse both in the street and online. | :02:36. | :02:43. | |
Thousands of abusive messages, they said, have been sent | :02:44. | :02:45. | |
to doctors and nurses, whose life's work is to | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
Many of these messages are menacing, including death threats. | :02:49. | :02:55. | |
The hospital has reported the abuse to the police. | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
It comes as the High Court decides on Charlie's future and a day | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
after the judge urged any campaigners outside the hospital | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
to respect the needs and wishes of sick children being treated | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
Put this into greater context for us, because you have been in court | :03:12. | :03:24. | |
following these proceedings. Yes, I was there yesterday when the judge | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
said protesters is not to harass anybody going into and out of the | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
hospital. And to bear in mind they could have a very sick child being | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
treated there. In recent days the judge has addressed the issue of | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
abuse against doctors and nurses. He said he's been told staff at Great | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
Ormond Street Hospital have been subjected to vile abuse and threats. | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
He warned perpetrators would be punished, if their identities became | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
known. He said he wanted that message to be heard loud and clear. | :03:52. | :04:01. | |
Tonight, Charlie's parents, Chris Gard and Connie Yates have said: We | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
don't condone abusive or threatening behaviour to staff or anybody in | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
connection with our son. We too get abuse and have to endure nasty and | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
hurtful comments on a daily basis. People have different opinions and | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
we accept that. But there is a line this should not be crossed. It makes | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
a stressful situation worse and is upsetting for all involved. | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
Jeremy Hunt, the Health Secretary, has commented this evening. He said | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
it's a sad and a complex case, but it's totally unacceptable for | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
dedicated doctors and nurses at one of our great NHS institutions that | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
they're suffering this level of abuse. On Monday, the High Court | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
will resume the hearing into Charlie Gard's future. And the judge has | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
said he hopes a decision will be reached by Tuesday. Laura, thank | :04:47. | :04:48. | |
you. Donald Trump has insisted | :04:49. | :04:50. | |
that he has complete authority It comes as investigators consider | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
whether he or his aides colluded with Russia, | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
during last year's The president's son, Donald Junior, | :04:59. | :05:00. | |
and son-in-law, Jared Kushner, are due to be questioned | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
in Congress next week. Our Washington correspondent, | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
Laura Bicker, reports. Donald Trump hoped this week | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
would be a celebration of all that is made in America, | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
including this new state-of-the-art Instead he finds himself gearing up | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
for what could be one He's clearing the decks and finding | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
new staff to fight off claims the Kremlin helped him win the White | :05:26. | :05:32. | |
House. His core message has become engulfed | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
by the many investigations. Instead, this is the kind of sales | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
pitch he'd prefer Americans to hear. American steel and American hands | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
have constructed a 100,000-ton Donald Trump is upgrading his team | :05:43. | :05:51. | |
just as the investigation into whether or not Russia meddled | :05:52. | :06:03. | |
in the US presidential election has widened its scope, | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
to reportedly include The president is | :06:07. | :06:08. | |
thought to be furious. This inquiry is no longer outside | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
the White House gates. It's within his inner circle, | :06:14. | :06:15. | |
including his own family, who are due to give evidence | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
later this week. Mr Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner | :06:19. | :06:20. | |
is one of his closest advisors, seen so often at his side, | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
but rarely heard. He has done some talking though, | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
to Russians, during the campaign. He'll be asked about that | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
in Congress on Monday. Donald Trump Junior is also | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
in discussions about testifying after it was revealed he met | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
with a Russian lawyer who'd offered incriminating information | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
about Hillary Clinton White House spokesman Sean Spicer | :06:43. | :06:44. | |
often struggled to convey the President's message amidst | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
the barrage of questions If the president puts | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
Russian salad dressing on his salad tonight, | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
somehow that's a I think it was in the best interests | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
of our communications department, of our press organisation, | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
to not have too many Because he reportedly didn't | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
want to work for this man. The slick, outspoken Wall Street | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
financier Anthony Scaramucci will now be in charge | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
of rebranding team Trump. He's described the enquiries | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
into his campaign's links He's getting combat ready, | :07:23. | :07:28. | |
just in case investigators Boots - the pharmacy chain - | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
has apologised for dismissing calls to cut the cost | :07:34. | :07:47. | |
of its contraceptive It had initially refused to drop | :07:48. | :07:49. | |
the price of the medicines because it claimed that doing | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
so would incentivise The British Pregnancy Advisory | :07:53. | :07:54. | |
Service launched its campaign with a video mocking the high prices | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
charged in the UK for They said it would be cheaper | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
to fly to France and buy Tesco and Superdrug | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
reduced their prices, but Boots refused to back down, | :08:08. | :08:17. | |
saying: There was a vigorous We would not want to be accused of | :08:18. | :08:28. | |
incentivising inappropriate use and provoking complaints by | :08:29. | :08:30. | |
significantly reducing the price of this product. | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
There was a vigorous campaign on social media calling for a boycott. | :08:36. | :08:41. | |
30 Labour women MPs sent a letter to the company yesterday saying | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
Boots was taking a moral position on what should be a personal | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
Then came a late-night change of heart. | :08:48. | :08:50. | |
In its statement, Boots said it was truly sorry | :08:51. | :08:52. | |
It said it was committed to finding cheaper forms of the drug. | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
It also said that emergency contraception services were freely | :08:57. | :08:58. | |
available on the NHS in many of its stores. | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
Campaigners said Boots had spectacularly | :09:02. | :09:03. | |
Our only disappointment is it's taken this long, | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
and the threat of a boycott by its customers for Boots | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
This was a position reached by Superdrug, Tesco far earlier. | :09:11. | :09:21. | |
But not everyone agrees with the decision by Boots. | :09:22. | :09:24. | |
Their original position was absolutely fine. | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
They were saying they did not want to encourage | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
And you have to remember, the morning after pill is a large | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
It's not something that needs to be taken like sweeties | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
One of the MPs that signed the letter yesterday said | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
on social media overnight, "Welcome news, but shame Boots | :09:45. | :09:47. | |
So far this year, more than 80,000 migrants | :09:48. | :09:55. | |
have arrived in Italy from across the Mediterranean - | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
The government in Rome is planning to house the new arrivals in towns | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
But the growing number of migrants is causing rising anger | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
And, as our correspondent James Reynolds reports from Sicily, | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
the towns themselves are resisting the plans. | :10:14. | :10:19. | |
This year, more than 90,000 migrants have landed in Italy. | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
Many, including these young men from west Africa, | :10:24. | :10:26. | |
are sent to stay in the country's smallest towns and villages. | :10:27. | :10:34. | |
The town of Torrenova, here at an emergency meeting, | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
has been told to take in around 20 migrants. | :10:39. | :10:48. | |
"I want guarantees," says retired teacher, Enzo Salvia. | :10:49. | :10:50. | |
"They want medical and criminal checks." | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
"They were already checked when they landed," argues this man. | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
"I don't think they will damage our country." | :11:01. | :11:03. | |
The Italian government is struggling find a solution that works. | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
It wants to scatter migrants as soon as they land here in big ports. | :11:08. | :11:13. | |
But that just shuffles the problem from built-up areas | :11:14. | :11:16. | |
It's not good because these here haven't been checked by a doctor. | :11:17. | :11:25. | |
The mayor of Castell'Umberto insists his small town can't cope | :11:26. | :11:32. | |
So the government has agreed to take these men back | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
TRANSLATION: I certainly don't want to become their hero. | :11:38. | :11:43. | |
They need someone else to defend them. | :11:44. | :11:46. | |
At night, amid cheers from volunteers, migrants | :11:47. | :11:53. | |
They barely know where they're going. | :11:54. | :12:00. | |
Italy's relocation plan, improvised and haphazard, | :12:01. | :12:11. | |
Now with news of all but certain victory for Chris Froome | :12:12. | :12:20. | |
in the Tour de France - and the rest of the day's sport - | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
here's Olly Foster at the BBC Sport Centre. | :12:25. | :12:26. | |
Barring something extraordinary, Chris Froome will win his fourth | :12:27. | :12:29. | |
The British rider extended his overall lead on the penultimate | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
stage and as is traditional, the yellow jersey holder won't be | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
challenged when the race finishes in Paris tomorrow. | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
Here's our sports news correspondent, Richard Conway. | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
It is known as the race of truth, for Chris Froome this is a race of | :12:46. | :12:54. | |
destiny. The start line is not a place to reflect on three gruelling | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
weeks of racing. He set off knowing his main rivals were within 30 | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
seconds of his overall time. But his pace was significantly faster than | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
those trying to stop him, Rigoberto Uran of Colombia pushed himself to | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
the limit as he tried and failed to claw Froome back. For crowd | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
favourite Romain Bardet it was one stage too far. He crossed the line | :13:18. | :13:23. | |
with Froome chasing him home, a potent demonstration of the Briton's | :13:24. | :13:26. | |
dominance. He goes into the ceremonial final stage with a lead | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
of 54 seconds, knowing he will be crowned for the fourth time as | :13:31. | :13:34. | |
winner of cycling's most famous race. There have been ups and downs | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
over the last three weeks. I think it has been very much a grand tour | :13:39. | :13:44. | |
in the sense that it has been really about the three weeks and doing | :13:45. | :13:50. | |
those three weeks in the most conservative but efficient manner. | :13:51. | :13:56. | |
Chris Froome will tomorrow sip champagne as he and his fellow Team | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
Sky riders make their way into the French capital. It will be a fitting | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
finale for a man who has delivered yet another vintage year. | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
It was an emphatic time trialling performance by Chris Froome. | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
Nevertheless, this has been a close Tour De France. He's been pushed all | :14:13. | :14:15. | |
the way by his main rivals. Behind me Paris is getting ready to welcome | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
the peloton tomorrow. The grand stands are being built. The Champs | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
Elysees will soon be closed because tomorrow the Tour De France arrives | :14:24. | :14:25. | |
here and Chris Froome will be crowned champion once more. | :14:26. | :14:31. | |
After eight years, Tom Daley has won his second individual | :14:32. | :14:33. | |
He was 15 when he won his first and today was back to his best | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
in Budapest at the World Aquatics Championships. | :14:39. | :14:39. | |
Again, It came in the 10-metre platform, and he beat the Olympic | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
Daley also won silver today with Grace Reid in the three-metre | :14:44. | :14:48. | |
The American Jordan Spieth will take a three-shot lead | :14:49. | :14:53. | |
In favourable conditions, there was also a record below-par | :14:54. | :14:59. | |
score for a single round at a major championship but hopes | :15:00. | :15:02. | |
Our sports correspondent, Andy Swiss, is at Royal Birkdale. | :15:03. | :15:08. | |
The calm after the storm, Friday's deluge replaced by placid | :15:09. | :15:12. | |
perfection with for one early starter historic results. | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
No man had ever shot 62 at a major, until Branden Grace. | :15:17. | :15:21. | |
That suggested anything was possible, and overnight leader | :15:22. | :15:26. | |
Jordan Spieth promptly picked up where he'd left off. | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
Behind him, Rory McIlroy began in equally inspired style, | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
An erratic finish leaving him nine off the pace. | :15:36. | :15:46. | |
There was also disappointment for Ian Poulter - hopes of a home | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
Canada's Austin Connelly with surely the shot of the day. | :15:51. | :16:00. | |
But at the final hole, Spieth struck what could be a telling blow. | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
With a three shot lead over compatriot Matt Kuchar, | :16:06. | :16:08. | |
A day of astonishing scoring for some then, | :16:09. | :16:12. | |
But it ends as it began, with Jordan Spieth | :16:13. | :16:17. | |

An amateur poker player, who normally enjoys a ?10 game | :16:39. | :16:41. | |
at his local casino in Hull, is celebrating a win worth | :16:42. | :16:43. | |
?2 million at the world's most prestigious tournament in Las Vegas. | :16:44. | :16:46. | |
John Hesp, a 64-year-old caravan salesman, finished fourth | :16:47. | :16:49. | |
He's played poker for 20 years, but always as an amateur. | :16:50. | :16:55. | |
Despite his success in Sin City, he said he had no grand plans | :16:56. | :16:58. | |
