New petrol and diesel vehicles to be banned

The government is set to announce that new petrol and diesel vehicles will be banned from the UK's roads from 2040. The move comes after the High Court agreed with campaigners that previous plans were insufficient to meet air pollution limits set by the European Union.

Ministers will also reveal details of a £255m fund to help councils tackle pollution from diesel vehicles. Air pollution is thought to be linked to about 40,000 premature deaths a year in the UK.

Charlie Gard: Decision due on where baby's life will end

A High Court judge will decide later whether Charlie Gard's life can end at home. Great Ormond Street Hospital says it is not practical to provide the necessary level of life-support treatment to Charlie at his home in Bedfont, west London, arguing a ventilator would not fit through the front door. But the 11-month-old's parents, Chris Gard and Connie Yates, say he should spend his final days there and to deny the family this option is "upsetting". The court hearing is due to resume at 14:00 BST.

By Imogen Foulkes, in Geneva

Some also suggest that war crimes tribunals can sow the seeds of future discord, particularly if victims are from one ethnic group and perpetrators from another.
