A human rights lawyer hopes no one will criticise Charlie Gard's parents.

International human rights lawyer Dexter Dias says he hopes no one will criticise Charlie Gard's parents for trying to grasp every moment.

Sarah and Nihal took a detailed look at what the Government's new plans to end the sale of petrol and diesel cars by 2040 mean for you, the consumer. Their big guest was International Human Rights Lawyer Dexter Dias, who has worked on some of the biggest murder, genocide and terrorism cases in recent years. He has written a book called 'The Ten Types of Human' A New Understanding of Who We Are and Who We Can Be, which looks at human nature and examines the best and worst that humans are capable of. Dexter was asked to advise terminally-ill baby Charlie Gard's parents but was unable to because he was away at the time. But he told Sarah and Nihal, "I hope no one will criticise Charlie's parents, for trying to grasp every moment, so long as the suffering of the child is not too great." Broadcaster and film critic Amanny Mohamed gave us her 'Unmissables' - the one film, book, podcast, game, app and event she thinks we shouldn't miss this week.
