Nomia asks, who should determine what happens to Charlie Gard?

Nomia asks, should the high court determine what happens to Charlie Gard? Or should it be his parents' decision?

Nomia asks: Should the high court determine what happens to terminally-ill baby Charlie Gard? Or should it be the parents' decision? The High Court is hearing fresh evidence in his case. It comes after doctors said he was suffering and believed he should be allowed to die. Charlie's parents believe there's experimental treatment in the US that could help him. But doctors think it's not in the best interest of the baby and the courts have backed them. After this, health and lifestyle guru Dr Aseem Malhotra answers all your queries, including how to curb your risk of developing type-2 diabetes and heart disease. A video of a poem by 22 year old Suhaiymah Manzoor-Khan has gone viral, and she joins Nomia to discuss her work's themes of Islamophobia, tolerance and love. It's the 70th anniversary of Indian Partition this August. Jasvir Singh from the Faith Forum for London tells Nomia about the Grand Trunk Project, which wants people who were affected to come together and share their stories.
