First, our main story. Theresa may will meet the leader of the Democratic Unionist Party, Arlene Foster, today, to thrash out the details of a deal that would secure their support for a minority conservative government.

Meanwhile, with Brexit Talks Due to begin in less than a week, the eus Chief NegotiatorMichel Barnier has called on britain not to waste time. Our Political Correspondent, ben wright, has more. If the Arlene Foster, said it is a tremendous opportunity to work with the tories. The Prime Minister knows a deal with the dup is her only way to stay in power. Agreement will be reached probably today that suits both parties. A confidence and supply arrangement will give dup support to the tories on things like the budget and the queens speech. This alliance leaves the government with a vulnerable majority ofjust six. But theresa may now looks more safe in herjob after a meeting with tories yesterday evening. She apologised for the disastrous campaign, declaringi apologised for the disastrous campaign, declaring i got us into this mess and i will get us out of it. We have to be pragmatic about what is introduced, how it is introduced. We have to work harder to bring people along with us, both inside the conservative party and beyond. While theresa may tries to rebuild the parliament from a hung parliament, there is a warning from the eu that britain is wasting valuable time negotiating brexit. More than two months have passed since she handed in the notice, but no talks have happened. There is a two year deadline to hammer out a deal. Speaking to the financial times, Michel Barnier, the eu negotiator, said they needed a Negotiating Team with a mandate soon because the Brexit Process would be extraordinarily complex.

In all of this turmoil, Something Like this is releva nt . This turmoil, Something Like this is relevant . Well, the queens speech, the governments programme for government, is set out on this. So when they go into the archive for hundreds of years, it does not deteriorate and can still be read. The twist is you have to commit this three days in advance to dry. There will be some Horse Trading with dup about what the plan is. That is one of the delayed. The other delayed is this, the parchment paper, meaning the queens speech is likely to be pushed back by a couple of days we still have not got a date for that. Iam still have not got a date for that. I am told no goats are actually used, sacrifice, in the creation of this paper. Very good news. I dont wa nt this paper. Very good news.

But last week, the Uk Supreme Court agreed with specialists at Great Ormond Street Hospital that he should be allowed to die with dignity. Our medical correspondent, fergus walsh, reports. Charlie gard cannot see, hear, move, cry, or swallow. He is seriously brain damaged and kept alive with a mechanical ventilator. His parents, chris gaard and connie yates, have raised £i. 3 million through Crowd FundingFor Experimental Treatment in the united states. They say they simply want the best for their son. He hasnt got anything to lose. We know that even if it doesnt work, which i think it will, we know that we have done everything that we can for him. But doctors, including independent experts, say the treatment cannot improve his condition. One concern is that charlie may experience pain, but is unable to respond to it. Lask week, the Uk Supreme Court said that while it had the utmost sympathy for his parents, it was not in charlies interests to subject him to futile treatment that could potentially prolong his suffering. Today, a panel of sevenjudges at the European Court of human rights in strasbourg will consider written evidence in the case. If they decide to take on the issue, a full hearing will be organised. If not, then the parents legal battle to take their son abroad will be over, and from midnight, Great Ordman Street Hospital will be free to switch off charlies ventilator and provide only palliative care.
