:00:08. > :00:10.Hello, I'm Karin Giannone, this is Outside Source.

:00:11. > :00:13.The parents of the terminally-ill baby Charlie Gard have

:00:14. > :00:17.ended their legal battle to take him to the US for treatment.

:00:18. > :00:19.They made the decision after an American doctor said

:00:20. > :00:29.it was too late to give Charlie an experimental therapy.

:00:30. > :00:36.To Charlie, we say mummy and daddy love you so much. We always have and

:00:37. > :00:39.we always will and we are so sorry we couldn't save you.

:00:40. > :00:41.President Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, says all of his

:00:42. > :00:43.actions were proper during the US election, after giving evidence

:00:44. > :00:45.to senators on his contact with Russian officials.

:00:46. > :00:48.I did not collude with Russia, nor do I know

:00:49. > :00:51.of anyone else in the campaign who did so.

:00:52. > :00:54.At least 35 people have died in a suicide bombing

:00:55. > :01:00.The Taliban say they carried out the attack.

:01:01. > :01:02.And we'll also be looking at a potential breakthrough

:01:03. > :01:06.in treatment for HIV, our Health reporter will join us

:01:07. > :01:26.from Paris where a research conference is taking place.

:01:27. > :01:28.The parents of the terminally-ill baby Charlie Gard have

:01:29. > :01:31.ended their legal battle to take him to the US for

:01:32. > :01:39.It follows an American doctor, who examined

:01:40. > :01:41.Charlie saying he was no longer willing to offer the therapy,

:01:42. > :01:45.Here's our Medical Correspondent Fergus Walsh.

:01:46. > :01:49.The fight over Charlie Gard's future is over.

:01:50. > :01:52.This desperately sick little boy will now be allowed to die.

:01:53. > :02:04.After a hugely emotional hearing, where his parents said they had

:02:05. > :02:07.agreed to let their son go, they emerged to face

:02:08. > :02:15.Our son is an absolute warrior and we could not be prouder of him

:02:16. > :02:20.His body, heart and soul may soon be gone, but his spirit will live

:02:21. > :02:23.on for eternity and he will make a difference to people's

:02:24. > :02:27.lives for years to come, we will make sure of that.

:02:28. > :02:30.We are now going to spend our last precious moments with our son,

:02:31. > :02:36.Charlie, who unfortunately will not make his first birthday in just

:02:37. > :02:43.Charlie has been in Great Ormond Street Hospital since October.

:02:44. > :02:47.He has a serious inherited condition, mitochondrial

:02:48. > :02:50.He cannot move, feed or breathe unaided.

:02:51. > :02:54.The central question in this case was whether this powder,

:02:55. > :02:59.nucleoside therapy, which is added to food, could boost

:03:00. > :03:04.His parents raised ?1.3 million for the treatment

:03:05. > :03:11.That money will now go to a foundation in Charlie's name.

:03:12. > :03:13.But Great Ormond Street, backed by many independent experts,

:03:14. > :03:17.said the treatment was futile because Charlie had

:03:18. > :03:20.suffered catastrophic and irreversible brain damage.

:03:21. > :03:23.Because Charlie's parents and doctors could not agree,

:03:24. > :03:29.In April, the judge ruled that Charlie's suffering should end.

:03:30. > :03:36.Every legal appeal brought by Charlie's parents failed and then

:03:37. > :03:39.came interventions from the Pope and Donald Trump, the latter

:03:40. > :03:50.And this has been an extraordinary case, the battle over the fate

:03:51. > :03:53.of a baby boy which was fought out not just here in court

:03:54. > :03:57.The judge said it was one of the pitfalls of social media

:03:58. > :04:01.that the watching world felt it right to have opinions without

:04:02. > :04:07.He said the court's paramount consideration had been Charlie's

:04:08. > :04:12.The case came back to court when American neurologist,

:04:13. > :04:16.Dr Michio Hirano, claimed new evidence showed his nucleoside

:04:17. > :04:20.therapy could help Charlie and last week he flew over to examine him.

:04:21. > :04:26.On Friday, Charlie's parents accepted that these

:04:27. > :04:33.showed his muscle wasting was now so severe he was beyond help.

:04:34. > :04:36.It is an incredibly brave decision by Charlie's parents,

:04:37. > :04:41.they have thought for themselves what the new evidence shows

:04:42. > :04:43.and they have reached a conclusion, probably the judge would have

:04:44. > :04:49.It is very brave of them to do it without waiting

:04:50. > :04:53.In court, Connie Yates said they would be haunted for the rest

:04:54. > :04:56.of their lives by what-ifs - what if their son had received

:04:57. > :05:01.She said he had the potential to be a normal boy but

:05:02. > :05:08.For Charlie, we say Mummy and Daddy, we love you so much.

:05:09. > :05:12.We always have and we always will and we are so sorry

:05:13. > :05:18.The parents are now with Charlie in his final hours.

:05:19. > :05:20.Great Ormond Street said the agony, desolation and bravery

:05:21. > :05:32.of their decision humbled all who worked there.

:05:33. > :05:35.This is Jared Kushner, President Trump's advisor and son-in-law.

:05:36. > :05:37.He's been testifying before a Senate panel investigating Russian

:05:38. > :05:46.He gave a rare public statement earlier - here's some of it.

:05:47. > :05:53.The record and documents I've voluntarily provided will show all

:05:54. > :05:57.of my actions were proper and occurred in the normal course of

:05:58. > :06:02.events of a very unique campaign. Let me be very clear.

:06:03. > :06:05.I did not collude with Russia, nor do I know of anyone else

:06:06. > :06:12.I have not relied on Russian funds for my businesses.

:06:13. > :06:15.And I have been fully transparent in providing

:06:16. > :06:23.Donald Trump had a better message and ran a smarter campaign,

:06:24. > :06:34.Suggesting otherwise ridicules those who voted for him.

:06:35. > :06:36.Remember, the Senate, the House and a special counsel

:06:37. > :06:37.are all investigating alleged Russian interference

:06:38. > :06:41.Mr Kushner is under scrutiny because he failed to declare his

:06:42. > :06:46.He says it was an administrative error.

:06:47. > :06:50.We know he met with the Russian ambassador a banker

:06:51. > :06:55.who was presented to him as having direct links to Putin and this

:06:56. > :07:03.This last meeting was revealed in emails released by Donald Trump Jnr,

:07:04. > :07:07.in which Natalia Veselnitskaya was described as having "information

:07:08. > :07:14.that would incriminate Hillary" which was "part of Russia

:07:15. > :07:17.and its government's support for Mr Trump."

:07:18. > :07:19.Mr Kushner says that the election was not discussed at

:07:20. > :07:40.And this is his father-in-law's perspective.

:07:41. > :07:46.I think those words were quietly spoken but forcefully spoken and

:07:47. > :07:53.what they've managed to do in that statement are several things. First

:07:54. > :07:57.of all some of you may have noticed the White House sale though, that is

:07:58. > :08:02.unusual coming to the microphone in the White House. It is usually just

:08:03. > :08:05.reserved for the likes of the President or vice president. Jared

:08:06. > :08:09.Kushner was speaking for the White House. In that statement are not

:08:10. > :08:13.only did he manage to get across the fact he feels he has been open and

:08:14. > :08:17.transparent and he has volunteered all the information that has been

:08:18. > :08:21.asked of him and that there was no collusion, he turned it round to

:08:22. > :08:26.Donald Trump's voters and Donald Trump's base by saying it is an

:08:27. > :08:30.insult to them to say that this election was rigged by the Russians

:08:31. > :08:34.that Donald Trump didn't deserve to win. And that is the message this

:08:35. > :08:37.White House is trying to get across. They are trying to draw a line under

:08:38. > :08:42.the affair because it is overshadowing Donald Trump's entire

:08:43. > :08:47.agenda but that list of contacts Jared Kushner has had with several

:08:48. > :08:53.Russians has been of concern not just Democrats and politicians but

:08:54. > :08:58.to those this entire affair, whether or not Russian meddling in the US

:08:59. > :09:00.election, whether or not they did it on behalf of Donald Trump. Many

:09:01. > :09:06.Democrats feel there are still questions to be answered, even after

:09:07. > :09:13.his two-hour testimony today. And as far as Jared Kushner is concerned,

:09:14. > :09:18.this is just hearing number one has to testify in front of. Tomorrow he

:09:19. > :09:22.will face similar questions but it will be behind closed doors again.

:09:23. > :09:27.Some of the questions being asked outside of those closed doors why is

:09:28. > :09:33.it taking so long for Jared Kushner to come up with his version of

:09:34. > :09:37.events. These meetings were in March so why has it taken so long for this

:09:38. > :09:41.information to become public? Why is it being held behind closed doors is

:09:42. > :09:50.one of the questions that continually is being asked. When it

:09:51. > :09:55.comes to Jeff Sessions and James Komi, the former FBI, all testify in

:09:56. > :09:59.public. When it comes to that, their testimony is open and transparent.

:10:00. > :10:04.But Jared Kushner goes back to his statement, all it is, all of it is

:10:05. > :10:08.open everything I've done and said. I imagine it might not be enough,

:10:09. > :10:10.that perhaps there will be more to come.

:10:11. > :10:15.HIV experts meeting in Paris say advances in vaccine and treatment

:10:16. > :10:17.research is opening new doors in the fight against

:10:18. > :10:29.Hundreds of people have gathered in north-east London tonight

:10:30. > :10:32.after the death of a 20-year-old man, who died after being restrained

:10:33. > :10:37.Scotland Yard say Rashan Charles tried to swallow an object ,

:10:38. > :10:40.and that officers had tried to prevent him from harming himself.

:10:41. > :10:48.Our correspondent Andy Moore was at the protest.

:10:49. > :10:54.There was certainly an air of tension here, a lot of people very

:10:55. > :11:00.angry. You can see over on this side some heated exchanges. Just a while

:11:01. > :11:04.ago here we saw some police outriders on their motorbikes come

:11:05. > :11:08.by, five or six of them. They were stopped by the crowd and briefly

:11:09. > :11:13.missiles were thrown at them. And they turned around and went back in

:11:14. > :11:18.another direction. The road here is closed at the moment. You won't see

:11:19. > :11:25.any police officers in the immediate vicinity. Some of the community

:11:26. > :11:29.police officers were getting abuse from the crowd but the police are

:11:30. > :11:36.monitoring the situation, the helicopter is overhead.

:11:37. > :11:40.This is Outside Source live from the BBC newsroom.

:11:41. > :11:43.The parents of the terminally ill British baby, Charlie Gard,

:11:44. > :11:45.have abandoned their legal battle to take him to America

:11:46. > :11:49.They made their decision after seeing the latest brain scans

:11:50. > :11:59.Swiss police say five people have been injured,

:12:00. > :12:02.two of them seriously, in an attack in the town of

:12:03. > :12:09.Police say the attack was carried out by a man armed with a chainsaw,

:12:10. > :12:15.who is believed to have fled in a white van.

:12:16. > :12:17.The suspect has been identified but remains at large.

:12:18. > :12:27.A Buddhist temple in central Myanmar has been swallowed by rising

:12:28. > :12:34.floodwaters after heavy rainfall. The pagoda was built in 2009. At

:12:35. > :12:35.least two people have died and 90,000 people have been displaced by

:12:36. > :12:38.flooding in Myanmar this month. And among the most watched

:12:39. > :12:40.on the BBC Website - these pictures of a very

:12:41. > :12:42.focused thunderstorm over the city of Lian-cheng,

:12:43. > :12:44.in the south-east of China. Even though the storm is raging just

:12:45. > :12:47.a few hundred metres away, the cameras themselves appear

:12:48. > :12:54.to have remained dry. It's taken three years for Iraqi

:12:55. > :12:57.forces to recapture the country's second largest city,

:12:58. > :13:02.Mosul, here in the north, The brutal occupation and a

:13:03. > :13:08.nine-month battle has claimed Neighbourhoods have been flattened

:13:09. > :13:14.and 700,000 people have been But now, just two weeks

:13:15. > :13:18.after the liberation, people are slowly returning

:13:19. > :13:20.to the city. Yalda Hakim has been

:13:21. > :13:34.to find out more. The Isis reign of terror is over but

:13:35. > :13:39.this is what liberation looks like. The city is flattened. This woman

:13:40. > :13:43.has returned to the this neighbourhood with her two children.

:13:44. > :13:47.They'd attempted to get away during the battle but were captured by ISAs

:13:48. > :13:53.soldiers and imprisoned. Husband was shot dead.

:13:54. > :13:55.She says she may now be liberated but it means nothing

:13:56. > :14:04.Life, she says, has become even more difficult.

:14:05. > :14:05.At the local hospital there is chaos.

:14:06. > :14:07.Everyday people queue up, the injured, the sick

:14:08. > :14:14.The battle is officially over but it's not safe in Mosul.

:14:15. > :14:24.Isis rigged houses and buildings with booby traps.

:14:25. > :14:32.All over the city, the forces are working day and night to clear the

:14:33. > :14:34.city of unexploded devices. This unit has been working for the last

:14:35. > :14:35.two days to get rid of everything. TRANSLATION: There was

:14:36. > :14:37.a car bomb over there. There are IEDs nearby

:14:38. > :14:42.and in the school so we are moving forward because there are more

:14:43. > :14:53.unexploded devices over there. This man says his tribe didn't

:14:54. > :14:54.support Isis. When the Iraqi military fled the city they had no

:14:55. > :14:57.choice. TRANSLATION: The Iraqi military

:14:58. > :14:59.controlled all of Mosul I blame what happened to our city

:15:00. > :15:07.on politics and the leaders. The politicians need

:15:08. > :15:10.to strike a deal. If they don't come up

:15:11. > :15:12.with an agreement, Laughter is once again allowed

:15:13. > :15:19.in Mosul and children leap to take Many have known nothing

:15:20. > :15:25.but life under Isis. The Iraq they will inherit has

:15:26. > :15:38.arguably never been more divided During its brutal sweep of Iraq,

:15:39. > :15:40.the so-called Islamic State also targeted the country's oldest

:15:41. > :15:42.ethnic minority, the Yazidis. Thousands were expelled from their

:15:43. > :15:45.homes in the Sinjar region. Many of the men were shot,

:15:46. > :15:47.while the women and children were kidnapped, taken

:15:48. > :15:50.as hostage and raped. Many of the women who managed

:15:51. > :15:52.to escape captivity have We've been given exclusive access

:15:53. > :15:57.to a small group living Our reporter Fiona Lamdin has

:15:58. > :16:02.spent a couple of days with them as they attempt

:16:03. > :16:04.to re-build their lives. You may find some of

:16:05. > :16:12.the details upsetting. 17 Yazidis are living on this

:16:13. > :16:14.corridor in the middle of It's a long way from their

:16:15. > :16:44.home in northern Iraq, This girl was 14 at the time. They

:16:45. > :16:49.tried to escape up the mountain but they couldn't run fast enough.

:16:50. > :16:51.She was then kidnapped, torn apart from her mother,

:16:52. > :17:27.She told me she saw things that will always haunt her.

:17:28. > :17:51.Would you like to go back to Iraq to live there?

:17:52. > :17:59.Leading this team is Jacqueline Isaac, an American lawyer. She met

:18:00. > :18:06.the girl just days after she had escaped. When I first met her, her

:18:07. > :18:12.head was down. All of their heads were down. There was no eye contact

:18:13. > :18:16.in the beginning. What do I say to them? There were councillors we had

:18:17. > :18:19.brought on the right-hand side on stand-by to give girls counselling

:18:20. > :18:24.and I remember thinking this isn't the time for counselling, this is

:18:25. > :18:31.the time to recognise them as human beings. More than two years on, they

:18:32. > :18:34.are now starting to live again, living, though, with deep, deep

:18:35. > :18:42.scars but at least they say. Estimated between 2000-4000 Yazidi

:18:43. > :18:47.children, women and men are still in captivity.

:18:48. > :18:49.Major developments in the battle against HIV have been announced

:18:50. > :18:52.at an international science conference taking place in Paris.

:18:53. > :18:54.Amongst them, three significant breakthroughs came to light.

:18:55. > :18:59.That a nine-year old child infected with HIV at birth has reportedly

:19:00. > :19:04.been all-but cured after just one year of treatment.

:19:05. > :19:07.That daily doses of HIV drugs could be a thing of a past,

:19:08. > :19:12.as they could be replaced by two-monthly injections.

:19:13. > :19:20.And that cancer treatment may unlock the answer to curing HIV,

:19:21. > :19:22.as it's believed the virus multiplies in a similar

:19:23. > :19:25.Our science correspondent James Gallagher was there

:19:26. > :19:31.Thousands of scientists are meeting here in Paris to discuss the latest

:19:32. > :19:35.advances in her HIV and how it could potentially transform the

:19:36. > :19:40.Now one of them is about an incredible case of

:19:41. > :19:45.They caught HIV as they were born but have spent 18

:19:46. > :19:48.and a half years not needing any anti-retroviral therapy.

:19:49. > :19:51.Most people need to take the drug every single day of their lives.

:19:52. > :19:57.On the very first day of their lives, they were given

:19:58. > :19:59.anti-retroviral therapy but then taken off it and the virus

:20:00. > :20:03.So understanding why could really help develop new therapies.

:20:04. > :20:06.Is it something about the child's immune system or DNA that has given

:20:07. > :20:11.them extra protection and can be harnessed to help other people?

:20:12. > :20:13.Something closer to reality and actually happening is this idea

:20:14. > :20:19.So at the moment, people have to take an HIV pill every day

:20:20. > :20:27.The idea of injections is that you need to take an injection maybe

:20:28. > :20:31.every month or two months to get that same dose of medicine in order

:20:32. > :20:34.to contain the virus, so it will become much easier

:20:35. > :20:37.for patients to live with the disease rather than having

:20:38. > :20:42.to take medicine every single day of their lives.

:20:43. > :20:45.One final new thought, really, is about whether HIV can learn

:20:46. > :20:49.Now, cancer has made incredible progress by harnessing the power

:20:50. > :20:54.So by training people's immune system is, people with even

:20:55. > :20:57.terminal cancer have seen their cancers disappear.

:20:58. > :21:01.Now, can HIV science learn anything from that?

:21:02. > :21:05.We don't know yet but there have been meetings between HIV and cancer

:21:06. > :21:09.scientists trying to see if HIV can learn from them and get us one

:21:10. > :21:17.Today, Britain's trade secretary Liam Fox is in Washington

:21:18. > :21:20.to discuss a preliminary deal ahead of Britain's departure

:21:21. > :21:26.A final agreement can't be ratified until the UK formally leaves the EU,

:21:27. > :21:28.but the two nations are keen to lay the foundations for

:21:29. > :21:39.Samira Hussain joins us from New York.

:21:40. > :21:46.We believe they've just met Liam Fox with the US trade Representative,

:21:47. > :21:50.what has been on the agenda? Really this is really a chance for both

:21:51. > :21:55.sides to outline some of the priorities they are going to have,

:21:56. > :21:58.going forward, when they start in earnest with these trade

:21:59. > :22:04.negotiations. Remember, the UK has been out of the game for decades

:22:05. > :22:09.now, mostly relying on the EU to negotiate these trade agreements so

:22:10. > :22:12.that does put them in a little bit of a back step compared to the

:22:13. > :22:15.United States that has been negotiating trade deals with

:22:16. > :22:20.countries all around the world. This also comes at a time when Donald

:22:21. > :22:25.Trump is using protectionist language trying to encourage to buy

:22:26. > :22:29.American, make in America. It is a tricky time to be in engaging in

:22:30. > :22:32.this time of activity but both sides are keen to get a deal ironed out as

:22:33. > :22:35.soon as possible. Stay with us. The International Monetary Fund has

:22:36. > :22:37.downgraded the growth forecasts The IMF says that the UK economy

:22:38. > :22:42.would grow by just 1.7% this year compared to a previous

:22:43. > :22:44.estimate of 2%. Similarly, it revised

:22:45. > :22:47.down its growth forecast for the US The IMF said that this was based

:22:48. > :22:54.on "the assumption that fiscal "policy will be less expansionary

:22:55. > :23:09.than previously assumed". What does that mean exactly? Well,

:23:10. > :23:16.really, and it comes down down to something with talked about a lot,

:23:19. > :23:23.accomplished. President from when he was campaigning to be president said

:23:24. > :23:27.we're going to see a growth rate of 4% in the United States. That was

:23:28. > :23:31.downgraded to 3% when he took office. When we're looking at the
