where, traditionally, we would have the most life—changing conversations with families. the majority of children die in children's hospitals. what we want to do here is recognise that and develop the services so that we can do the best possible we can when a child is going to die. grieving for a child takes a parent a lifetime. do you thinkjust providing support at the beginning of that process is enough? honestly, it's not enough. what this is is the beginning. there's a lot more to do. magnolia house cost £1 million and was entirely funded by charitable donations. i would have rather have had him and gone through what we did than never have had him at all. you know, we have a lot of great memories with him. taking him for days out, when we could, when he was well. yeah, if we could change things, you would not go through thisjourney, but it was what it was and we have to deal with it. when i think about him now, i do smile. because he made me smile and he still does make me smile. sima kotecha, bbc news, birmingham. and brighton and hove albion are on the brink promotion are on the brink of promotion to the prremeir league after a 2—1 win over wigan athletic this afternoon. fans celebrated on the pitch after the victory. if hudderfsfield town fail to beat derby county this evening, brighton will return to the top flight of english football for the first time since 1983. that's it we are back with the late news at 10:20. now on bbc one it's time for the news where you are. should older drivers be made to retake their test? nearly a quarter of a million people have backed a petition asking for a change in the law. it was started by ben brooks—dutton, whose wife was killed after an elderly motorist hit his accelerator pedal instead of the brakes. it's expected that the number of drivers over 85 will double to1 million by 2025, so is there more we can do to improve safety on the roads? frank has been driving for most of his life. know where you are relative to as much traffic as you possibly can... but despite 56 years of experience behind the wheel, he feels he benefits from an appraisal from time to time. none of us gets sharper as we age. i can see i'm not as sharp as i was ten or 15 years ago and that must apply when i'm driving a car. ijust think it's a good idea. this driver skills scheme in hampshire for the over 60s assesses around 50 people each month. the aim is to keep people driving safely for longer. it's delivered from their own home in their own car. we get one of our assessors to go along and sit with them and offer advice, really. and then we can monitor how their driving is going so they don't have to give up too early before they're ready but they don't go on too long and they become unsafe. there's no legal age to stop driving in the uk but under the current dvla system, drivers have to renew their licence every three years from the age of 70. to do that, you will simply need one of these. a self—assessment form. you decide whether or not you are fit to drive based on your health and eyesight. there are no mandatory checks on your eyesight, hearing or even driving and reaction times. that is well into old age. for most drivers, this is not a problem but not disclosing a medical issue can have devastating consequences. you drew that when you were a baby. in 2012, ben's wife was killed while walking with their two—year—old sonjackson. a car came speeding around the corner, skimmed my son's pushchair but then struck my wife and she died at the scene. when the pressure was on, when the driver had to choose between an accelerator and a brake, he wasn't able to make that decision, he wasn't able to react. he was driving in an automatic vehicle and he thought he was braking and as he broke harder, he was actually accelerating faster. ben is campaigning for drivers to be retested every three years after the age of 70. so far, an online petition has received over 200,000 signatures. i think there needs to be some sort of test to check that we are well enough to drive, that we can react in time to drive safely and regulate our own behaviour. at the moment, the self—assessment system doesn't do that. last year, leading road safety experts published a report setting out a national strategy for safe driving into old age. it made a number of recommendations including increasing the age of licence renewal to 75 if proof of an eye test is made compulsory. older drivers, at the age of 70, are no more likely to be involved in a collision. but obviously, as we do get older and start to suffer from frailty, eyesight and hearing, yes, problems can arise if we don't address them at an early stage. ben's petition is set to be discussed by a cross party transport committee after getting the support from his local mp. meanwhile, ben is hoping his campaign will highlight the issue for thousands of families. no—one wants to take someone‘s life. no—one wants that hanging over them for the rest of their life but a car is a powerful weapon, you need to make sure you are capable and that is notjust about sticking to your guns and saying, i'm fine. this is about checking that you definitely are. easyjet has apologised to a couple who were ordered off an overbooked flight. the pair — who were due to fly from luton to italy — were not offered compensation or told that they were entitled to an alternative flight with another airline. 0ur our business correspondentjoe lynam is with us. it is not quite like the unfortunate incident in the united states last week, but there are some similarities. the passengers were not taken off violently as it happened with united airlines. human error kicked in here and it is an embarrassment for easyjet. the two people had booked and paid for their flight people had booked and paid for their flight and could not check in online for a technical reason, turn up at the desk, were given boarding passes and got on the plane and discovered there were not enough seats and were told to leave. politely? in a polite way, but then human error number two kicked in when they were not told they were entitled to substantial compensation and they could get a rival airline to their final destination paid for by easyjet in this instance and the eu compensation rules. there were two human errors. the case of being on a plane and they're not being asleep, last week it was about getting the ci’ews last week it was about getting the crews on and that is why they asked people to move off, but here it is something to do with their system and the seats were reallocated because they had not booked in advance. airlines oversell their seats. that is always the case. it is the question of how many get over yourself. there were always be somebody who cannot make it, will not turn up, or turned up late, so they oversell by a few seats. it was human error because they should not have been issued the boarding pass. that is the mistake, so to be sure, under the rules as they currently exist, it does not matter how cheap your ticket is, or how expensive, your ticket is, or how expensive, you still have those same basic rights? you are protected? this is an eu regulation? absolutely. it is code two 61. you are in the care of the airline and if they have overbooked and they have to take you off the plane, they are responsible for your onward journey. in this instance, it happened on monday after the infamous united airlines flight, after the infamous united airlines flight, they were told they had to wait four days for the next available flight and that is a mistake. there is no retraining going on. i have to stress that the airline is very apologetic about this. they are genuinely sorry and have completely compensated the people in question, including the cost of their hotels in italy which they lost. some good news out of a rotten story, thank you very much. now, let's take a look at the weather prospects, whether you are in italy or anywhere else. certainly a touch of frost in many areas, but a particularly sharp frost into scotland. the cloud is breaking up now, so the skies clearing and those temperatures will dip away. just for a time, around late evening and into the early hours of tuesday, we could have some showers in the east and east anglia. this is the frost developing across the north and these are the city temperatures in rural areas. even further south it will be close to freezing and perhaps below. this frost could be damaging to some tender plants and crops, particularly the further north you are. but the weather is looking beatable, it is a stunning morning, beautiful clear skies. in the north—west and in the north coast and the north west and is scotland, thickening cloud through the morning and into the afternoon. this weather front is moving very slowly and it will bring spots of drizzle to stornoway, but eastern scotland is fine and the rest of the country also has fine weather. the best of the weather is on eastern coasts and the weather is on eastern coasts and the midlands and all along the south coast and the english channel. 13 degrees in plymouth, still single figures in the north. tuesday night into wednesday and it is another chilly night on the way, particularly in the south. the high pressure will anchor itself across southern parts of the uk on wednesday, said this is where the brightest of the weather will be. in the north there is a breeze coming of the atlantic with thicker cloud. those temperatures are not spectacular, typically around 12 degrees. very little change for thursday. the summary for the week ahead, very little rain with that area of high pressure. not feeling cold during the day, but the night will certainly be on the chilly side. hello, and welcome to 100 days. first syria, then afghanistan — could north korea be america's next target? the us vice president issues a veiled warning to pyongyang. and tells the bbc it will be testing misal missiles on a weekly basis and all—out war will result if america ta kes all—out war will result if america takes action. after a visit to koreas' demilitarised zone, mike pence says the era of strategic patience is over. north korea would do well not to test his resolve or the strength of the united states in this region. turkey looks less democratic and more authoritarian after voters president erdogan huge new powers. he rejects the findings of international monitors. also, one house race in georgia is gaining national attention.
