Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six.

The agonising legal battle over the future of the terminally ill

baby Charlie Gard has taken a new turn in the last hour -

Great Ormond Street Hospital has applied for a fresh court hearing

to assess new evidence about possible treatment for him.

The courts had ruled that 11-month-old Charlie be allowed

to die rather than receive experimental therapy -

The hospital's move follows a letter from medical

experts asking that the decision not to offer baby Charlie

Our medical correspondent Fergus Walsh reports.

This little boy's life and whether it continues

has become the focus of international attention.

Charlie Gard's parents have campaigned to keep him alive.

They've been in despair after four court judgments backed his doctors,

who want to switch off his ventilator to end his suffering.

You know, he's our own flesh and blood and we don't

We are not bad parents and we are there for him

all the time, completely devoted to him.

He isn't in pain and suffering and I promise everyone,

I would not sit there and watch my son in pain and suffer.

The reality is, Charlie is terminally ill.

He also has serious brain damage and doctors say

But his parents refuse to accept that.

They've raised ?1.3 million for experimental treatment

in the United States, treatment which doctors

But now seven medical experts from Rome, New York, Cambridge

In a letter to Great Ormond Street Hospital,

they accept that the treatment is experimental and ideally should

However, there is insufficient time to perform these studies,

so reconsideration of treatment for Charlie Gard is

How is this illegal, when there's a chance?

There is potential for him to be a completely normal boy,

but we don't know, because you just don't know until you try.

It is significant that the letter came from a hospital

The Pope had already offered to transfer Charlie to Rome,

and President Trump has tweeted he would be delighted

Legally, there is nothing preventing Great Ormond Street from withdrawing

That's been the case for the past 11 days,

since the European Court of Human Rights, like all

the UK courts, rejected the parents' arguments.

But interventions by Donald Trump, the Pope, and now a letter claiming

new evidence means that doctors here don't feel they can

Charlie has a rare genetic disorder of the mitochondria,

It is progressive and has devastating consequences.

The mitochondria supply the energy, really, for every cell in the body,

so the heart, brain, they become blind and they

It's manifested very early and the outcome is death in infancy.

Great Ormond Street Hospital's position has not changed.

But it's now asking the High Court to assess the new evidence

and make the final decision about Charlie's future.

With me is our medical correspondent Fergus Walsh.

This has been the most agonising case, just explain for us how things

will unfold from here for Charlie and his parents.

The hospital's position is not changed, they said Charlie is almost

certainly in pain and the best outcome is to end his suffering but

they want to be seen to be exploring every avenue and they are now

putting this back in the hands of the High Court to explore this new

evidence. In this letter it talks about dramatic clinical improvements

from unpublished evidence and they are very doubtful about that

evidence, they have explored this already but this treatment is a

powder that you put in food and all the evidence I've seen has suggested

very small improvements of 3-4% in children with mitochondria disorders

and it has never been tried on anyone but Charlie's condition. You

heard his mother talking about the chance that he could be a completely

normal boy. Experts will say with his structural severe brain damage

and the terrible genetic disorder he has, that really shows that she is

in denial and at some point the parents are going to have to let go.

Thanks for joining us. After months of claim

and counterclaim, President Trump has had his first face to face

meeting with the man accused of trying to rig the US

presidential election, The handshake was cordial

and the words polite, and the rest of the encounter took

place behind closed doors. The two men are at the G20 meeting

of world leaders in Hamburg. Our North America Editor Jon Sopel

reports from there. It's hard to overstate

the significance of this Two men with nuclear arsenals

who could blow the world to pieces. Two self-proclaimed tough

guys who like to win. But today at their first

face-to-face meeting, they were the epitome

of restraint and respect. Thank you very much,

we appreciate it. President Putin and I have been

discussing various things We've had some very,

very good talks. We are going to talk now and that

will continue but we look forward to a lot of great,

positive things happening for Russia, for the United States

and for everybody concerned. And for his part, Vladimir Putin

said, "I am delighted to be able to meet you personally,

Mr President, and hope, as you have said, our meeting

will yield positive results". But there's a cloud -

did Vladimir Putin's interference in the presidential election deliver

victory to Donald Trump? US intelligence agencies have

no doubt that Russian hacking did take place,

and it must have been sanctioned by President Putin and was designed

to help the Trump campaign. The American President, though,

insists he won fair and square. And then there are

the policy differences. Trump accused Russia

of destabilising Ukraine Putin wants sanctions

against Russia lifted. Trump wants to work with Russia

in Syria to help defeat so-called Islamic State,

but not while Russia is working And then there's the family photo,

with President Trump in the strange But forget any headline of,

"President marginalised", it seemed there was no shortage

of leaders wanting to bend his ear. Two big topics - one trade,

the other, climate change. I was clear to President Trump

at how disappointed the UK was that the United States have

decided to pull out And also clear that

I hoped they would be able to find a way to come back

into the Paris Agreement. We're not renegotiating

the Paris Agreement - that stays - but I want to see the United States

looking for ways to rejoin. Climate change is one of the many

issues of concern to the thousands of protesters seeking

to disrupt the summit. Though forget global

warming, some were getting We're not entirely clear how

effective the umbrellas were. But there have been ugly

scenes of vandalism Such has been a concern over

security that the First Lady Melania Trump was ordered

to stay put in her guest house Hamburg memorable, then,

for who she didn't The meeting between the men was

meant to have lasted 30 minutes but it lasted the best part of two and a

half hours and that suggest it was a substantial meeting. Vladimir Putin

says they discussed Ukraine and terrorism and also cyber security,

raising the question that the issue of Russian interference in the

American elections may well have been raised by Donald Trump. Thanks

for joining us. The BBC has obtained footage

of a meeting last night at which the judge leading

the inquiry into the Grenfell Tower As he attempted to reassure locals

that he would look into the matter to the "very best of his ability",

residents said they still lacked confidence in him and his

words of reassurance Our Home Affairs correspondent

Tom Symonds reports. In court the judge is the boss, but

not here. If I can't satisfy you because you have a conception of me

as a person, that is up to you. This closed meeting was the second time

Sir Martin Moore-Bick had met the people at the centre of the tragedy

he has been asked to explain and he is still trying to win their

confidence. I give you my word that I will look into this matter to the

very best of my ability. And I will find the facts as I see them from

the evidence. His officials said he faced a personal hostility, more

mistrust of the establishment he is perceived to represent. You don't

respect me because you say the government have appointed me to do a

hatchet job. Not a hatchet job, you are going to do a tailor report like

Hillsborough, which was very technical and did not deal with the

real issues and it took 30 years for people to be arrested. I'm

determined to get this right, and for you to say what it should cover.

We did, and then it was dismissed by you on television. That clip was a

television interview last week in which Sir Martin Moore-Bick would

consider wider social issues as part of the inquiry. I can understand why

they would want that, but whether my inquiry is the right way in which to

achieve that I'm doubtful. Some have demanded more time to respond to the

consultation on the inquiry's remit and sources say the judge is not

minded to change the dates that will end, currently the 14th of July. The

Prime Minister will have the final decision it is hoped by the 20th of

July. He is still being criticised amongst some as not right for the

job. But others are starting to say he should be allowed to get on with

it. These community does not speak with a single voice. -- this.

Everybody is at different places, some people feel this way and some

feel that way, and time is needed but time is also of the essence. Sir

Martin Moore-Bick's legal pedigree is not in doubt but can this

Cambridge educated judge take the community with him? It is a question

which has been asked before, after the murder of Stephen Lawrence in

the 90s, the government appointed Sir William MacPherson as inquiry

chair and he published a landmark report on racism despite his

establishment background. He turned out to be very good indeed. The

crucial thing was, he was not a soft touch and we could not undermine his

conclusions. 17 years later, the Grenfell Tower inquiry is expected

to begin hearing evidence in September.

of seal pups being rescued by members of the public

on the west coast. It's a growing trend

here and around the world - working in what's known

as the "gig economy" - where people earn money

as and when they do a job - and don't have fixed hours

or benefits like sick pay It's estimated that

a million people work in the gig economy in the UK -

or 3 % of the total workforce. Some say it offers

flexibility for workers - but others call it exploitation

with little protection. Today, the boss of one of the most

high profile firms, Deliveroo, says he wants to start

giving his delivery riders sick pay He was speaking exclusively

to our economics editor Kamal Ahmed. It is about doing the right thing,

don't get me wrong. The founder of Deliveroo

with a pep talk for staff. He wants to change the company,

offer more benefits to riders and move on from the controversies

that have stalked the business I met Will Shu at the firm's

new and pretty cool London HQ to hear the case for fundamental

reform of the gig economy. Deliveroo riders want three things -

they want flexibility, Currently, we can only

offer two out of three. The law needs to change to reflect

modern working practices. Do your profits depend

on the fact that you don't guarantee them minimum wage,

you don't pay National Insurance for your riders, you don't pay

pensions contributions, Not at all, the self-employment is

in order to maintain the flexibility The ability to log in and out,

the ability to work And as I said before,

on average in the UK, our riders already earn up to ?10

an hour which I said, is a third higher than

the national living wage. From the riders, a clear message -

yes, Deliveroo can be a good employer but things can

also go wrong. This man has worked

for the firm for 18 months. Working for Deliveroo is great,

until things go wrong. I had an accident in

which I injured my knee. I needed at least three weeks off,

I had to come back to work before I was ready because there is no

protection, no sick Deliveroo said they want to put

an end to such problems but, for critics, this

story is only too common. For too many people working

in the gig economy, they find that the market

is rigged against them. They lose out on basic

protections in the workplace, be it the National Minimun Wage,

holiday pay and family There are plenty of people who have

done pretty well out of the new world of work and I think

to an extent, Deliveroo today were I understand next week a major

government review into the on-demand economy will leave companies

like Deliveroo, companies like Uber with a stark choice -

if you want to continue working the way you are, then benefits,

National Insurance contributions The review will praise many

aspects of the gig economy, flexibility for workers

in the third round at Wimbledon Our sports correspondent,

Joe Wilson, is at Wimbledon now. How did they get on?

Well, mixed, as you will see. The grass is suddenly wearing thin but

our interest is being sustained. It's not just about British players,

with a gripping victory for Rafa Nadal just now, but those of us with

decent Wimbledon memories know that a day like this is unusual.

The problem with Friday at Wimbledon, where to look. British

players, two there, one there and one there, too. Choose your path. It

was so much simpler when they all lost in the first round. Starting on

centre court with Heather Watson, near the camera, trying to reach the

Azarenka, that a baby only in December and wanted to be back to

her best on court right now, fiercely determined. Second set to

Azarenka, 6-1. The third set was a gripping sequence of breaking and

breaking back, lasting nearly an hour. Watson had her chances.

Frustrated, absolutely. She was warned about taking too long to

serve. Later she tried to challenge a call and the umpire didn't see.

But Azarenka had too much. 6-4 in the third. She's back. You might

have to look for her in the programme, but she's back. On court

number two, Bedene lost in straight sets against Gilles Muller, the 16th

such a packed stadium it's truly humbling. It's what we all dream of.

Let's hope so. Quite a fine weekend for many of us

with some warm sunshine. This is a scene from this afternoon from

Stirling in central Scotland. A return to the sunnier skies in the

second half of the afternoon, but quite a lot of cloud generally

across northern and western parts but, towards the south and

south-east, the lion's share of the sky and sunshine. Into the evening,

still quite a lot of cloud filter in further south, with northern England

and parts of Wales having the odd patch of drizzly rain. South of

that, mainly dry, and further north, the north of this cold front, we are

introducing fresh conditions. Overnight temperature is in Scotland

and Northern Ireland, down to 11 or 12. Further south, muddy and humid

tonight again with lows of 17 or 18. Through the day tomorrow, a largely

fine day. A bit more cloud in England and Wales, but to reverse

today, more sunshine for the north and Scotland. Perhaps some rain in

the far north-west towards the end of the day and the odd light shower

for Wales and the south-west of England. Temperatures in the south

is not as warm as today but warmer further north compared to this

afternoon. Into the second half of the weekend, this weather front will

produce some patchy rain across parts of Northern Ireland and

Scotland, especially later in the day. Much of England and Wales

starting dry and bright. Later into the afternoon, we could see a few

heavy showers in central and eastern parts of England with perhaps the

odd rumble of thunder, and some rain continuing across Northern Ireland

and western Scotland. Not a wash-out, with temperatures

containing 16 or 17. The case of terminally ill baby
