Good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. In the next hour, the parents of charlie gard will return to the high court, as fresh medical evidence will be heard about their terminally ill son, who is being cared for at great ormond street hospital. An earlier ruling supported the view of his doctors that nothing could be done to improve his quality of life, and they should be allowed to switch off his life support systems. But judges will evaluate new data about an experimental treatment the pa rents an experimental treatment the Pa Re Nts Wa Nt An Experimental Treatment the parents want their 11 month year old is sum to receive. Our correspondent Daniela Relph reports for charlie gards parents, todays Court Hearing offers some hope, when they thought all hope had gone. The court will hear fresh admissions this afternoon about the experimental treatment available. Doctors still believe this treatment wont help 11 month old charlie. Its untested on a child as unwell as he is. But medics have again turned to the courts, and left it to the legal system to make the final decision on the future of charlie gard. Yesterday, his parents chris and connie delivered a petition of 350,000 signatures to great ormond street, calling for him to be able to travel to america for the experimental treatment. Everything now hangs on the decision of the court this week. Were just hoping that thejudge, you know, sees that this is worth a chance. Because he said last time it was futile. But clearly it is not futile, it has a chance. And charlie deserves that chance. Hes been lying there for months now, when he should have been given this chance. So far, everyjudge to hear this case, right up to the European Court of human rights, has ruled against the wishes of charlies family and in favour of great ormond street. His parents believe the new treatment could prolong charlies life and should be explored. For doctors, the situation is both a medical and moral dilemma. Medical science has moved a long way, and theres really, it feels, like theres an expectation of cure, of sending out completely normal again. And sadly, that isnt the case. We only wish we could have all those therapies to sort all of those things. As the legal system once again decides what happens next, 11 month old charlie gard remains on a ventilator in hospital. Doctors say he cant see your move, and any treatment would be futile. But his parents think differently and believe their son is not in pain, nor is he suffering. They want him to be given one last chance. Daniela relph, bbc news. Our medical correspondent, fergus walsh, is outside the high court now. To say this is difficult is an understatement, as we know, so what are the options for what might happen next . The judge, are the options for what might happen next . Thejudge, Mrjustice Francis is the judge that originally decided three months ago that charlie, on the grounds of the evidence he heard, should be allowed, as he put it, to die with dignity. Great ormond street is going to asking to look at unpublished evidence it was sent on friday, and make an assessment whether it changes that view. This unpublished data came from seven doctors and researchers, it came from the vaticans childrens hospital, signed by doctors from a number of countries, and said there was unpublished evidence in animals and children with a similar genetic condition to charlie of dramatic clinical improvement. Crucially, it could help charlies rain condition. But as the hospital has made clear on friday night, its position has not changed one bit brain condition. He has terrible brain damage, catastrophic and irreversible. Their position remains that he should be allowed to die and be ventilator should be withdrawn. We wont get a definitive ruling today. That may come later, because all sides have to get together and analyse the evidence. Fergus, thank you. Contribute, dontjust criticise thats the message from theresa may to Opposition Parties at the beginning of a week which marks her First Anniversary as Prime Minister. The first secretary of state, damien green, said it was a grown up way of doing politics. Labour says the Prime Minister has run out of ideas. 0ur Political Correspondent iain watson reports. What a difference a year makes, today, theresa may was meeting the australian Prime Minister, underlining her message that after brexit, she can rekindle strong relationships with other nations. And she needs all the friends she can get, because she also has the rebuild relationships with some of her own mps, and convince sceptical voters she hasnt ditched everything she has stood for when she entered Downing Street A year ago. The government i lead will be driven not by the interests of the privileged few, but by yours. But since then, there has been a rather large snag, she has lost a majority. She says she has lost a majority. She says she is making a bold offer to the opposition to contribute to her policies, rather than criticise them. What the primaries double set out this week is her ambitions for that government, which are unchanged from what she said when she stood on the steps of Downing Street for the first time and talk about a country that works for everyone. Some say it isa that works for everyone. Some say it is a cry for help, a plea for help, and she is being timid, not bold. 0utside and she is being timid, not bold. Outside the westminster bubble, people think politicians can Work Together across party lines, and thatis together across party lines, and that is a good idea. Theresa may is no stranger to political slogans. Brexit means brexit, strong and stable, you know them all by now. Todays message to Opposition Politician was to contribute, dont criticise. But here at westminster, they say the key test is whether this time there is any real substance behind the Prime Ministers offer. This is a zombie government. She is under deep threat from her own party. Could you work with the government. threat from her own party. Could you work with the government. If She Wa Nts Work with the government. If she wants co operation, if she wants to do things in the national interest, she should take up ideas that we put forward in our manifesto. She should show that she is serious about incrementing some of that and set up a Cross Party Commission to do it. It would be laughable if it wasnt so it would be laughable if it wasnt so serious. We are it would be laughable if it wasnt so serious. We are over a year it would be laughable if it wasnt so serious. We are over a year from the eu referendum, a year since theresa may took office as Prime Minister. And yet, she still doesnt have a clue about how to take this forward. Critics say theresa may simply wants to get on the front foot to quell talk of a leadership challenge. Her allies say rebellious charter has been fuelled by too much per second. But battling on without an overall majority is a sobering prospect. Iain watson, bbc news. 0ur assistant Political Editor norman smith is at Downing Street. Whats your assessment of this change in tack and how realistic is it that it will work . Frankly, you are more likely to see big, Fat Flying Pigs doing loop the Loops Over Westminster before you are to getjeremy Corbyns Labour Party cooperating with theresa mays conservative party. On these big, thorny social issues, be it social ca re thorny social issues, be it social care or employment rights, tuition fees, the parties are miles apart. It is true to a lesser extent with other Opposition Parties. Therein mind, too, that mrs may has never shown much appetite for working cross party. Shown much appetite for working cross party. But there is a rather brutal reason as well, jeremy Corbyns Labour Party smell blood. They think todays 0fficemax of weakness. They are not going to help pfp up weakness. They are not going to help prop up theresa may, Babel Stampede her into a general election. In a way, it seems to me, todays message is more directed at her own party, not the opposition, to say, i am brimming with ideas and energy. I have my mojo back. There are tough policies are want to sort out. In other words, there is an agenda Beyond Brexit that could go on for yea rs. Beyond brexit that could go on for years. In other words, theresa may is saying to the press echoed plotters that dont think she only has a few months left at Downing Street, think again. Norman, as ever, thank you. 255 people survived the Grenfell Tower fire, thats the first time such a figure has been given by the metropolitan police. As a result, estimates of the the number of dead and missing remains at approximately 80. Our Home Affairs Correspondent tom symonds is at the tower in west london. The police have given quite a bit of Information Today and detail about their investigation, havent they . Thats right. This point about figures is highly controversial. Some claimed there were 500 or 600 People Living in the tower. Police have said today that, according to their own investigations, and they have been quite extensive, they believe 350 is the number that should have been in the tower on that night. They believe 14 people we re that night. They believe 14 people were not in the tower at the time. Therefore, further investigations say they believe the number of survivors is around 255, and the number of dead remains around 80. So again, the police trying to very clearly say what they believe the impact, in terms of lives lost, and people missing, because some people are not confirmed as dead, remains at this stage. Their investigations continue. Two types of investigations, one, going through the debris in the towel, looking fit human remains. It has come to that. We were shown pictures of officers sieving through the remains of rubble inside the tower. All of which will be kept for future analysis. Bodies that have been removed from the tower are being put through ct scan is to identify, for example, due woolery, surgical implants that might help say who the owner of the body is. And obviously, pa rents, owner of the body is. And obviously, parents, relatives, anybody that survived is being kept informed about all of this because it is highly sensitive work. Tom, thank you.

Its called the gig economy millions of people caught in a grey area of working flexibly but without the usual Workplace Protections they are considered neither fully employed nor Self Employed. Tomorrow, a degree of clarity might be introduced after an Employment Review has looked at some of the issues raised around this particular labour market, and its expected to demand a radical overhaul of Employment Law with new guarantees on the minimum wage. 0ur Economics correspondent andy verity reports. Lucas is more one of a Million People that get paid by the task. That flexibility suits him, but if it isa that flexibility suits him, but if it is a slow day for takeaway is or he is stuck in traffic, it is he that loses. If you work around ten hours, we can do around £150. But when it is a slow day, we do around 70, working for ten or 11 hours. Sometimes we spend, like, two hours to get onejob, to get sometimes we spend, like, two hours to get one job, to get £3 50. It sometimes we spend, like, two hours to get onejob, to get £3 50.

If he gets sick or has an accident, he might also have an income, but Tomorrow A Review is expected to classify workers like him not as Self Employed but as dependent contractors, entitled to be paid at least the minimum wage. The big fear of digg Economy Companies like deliveroo is they might have to pay workers online, rather than doing work. There is a compromise being proposed where they are required to prove the workers could earn substantially more than the minimum wage ina substantially more than the minimum wage in a reasonable time. The report is expected to say that if gig Economy Companies pay people by task, they have to show workers earn at least a fifth more than an employee on the minimum wage would. Unions say it could mean less protection, not more. A Piece Rate Approach could be a step backwards. We know that approach was taken for cleaners in hotels come they couldnt clean enough rooms within an hourto couldnt clean enough rooms within an hour to qualify for those rights. 0ur concern is also luba drivers and deliveroo drivers could be expected to travel so fast around london and the uk, they never qualify for the National Minimum wage. The gig Economy Companies are popular because they are efficient and cheap. 0ne because they are efficient and cheap. One thing that helps them to trim costs if they avoid paying national insurance. It is unlikely protection for workers can be stepped up without some increase in costs for consumers.
