election has been delayed, after concerns were raised that hackers could influence the outcome. and it s 50 years since nearly 30,000 ugandan asians began to arrive in the uk after being forced to flee their homes by uganda s then military ruler. we ve been hearing some of their stories. hello and welcome if you re watching in the uk or around the world. the speaker of the us house of representatives nancy pelosi has met the taiwanese president during a visit that s been strongly condemned by the chinese government. taiwan is self ruled, but beijng sees it as a breakaway province that will eventually unite with it. it s an island roughly 100 miles from the coast of south east china. china took the island from japan in 1945 after world war two, but after a civil war in china, defeated nationalist forces fled to taiwan. today it sees itself as an independent country, with its own constitution and democratically elected leaders. only 13 nations recognise taiwan as sovereign
pleasure. let s return now to the case of 12 year old archie battersbee after the family s lawyers submitted an application to the european court of human rights in a bid to postpone the withdrawal of his life support. archie has been in a coma since he was found unconscious in april in his home. his care had been due to end after a decision by the supreme court yesterday. his mother hollie has made a statement in the past hour saying she ll do everything in her power to continue to fight for her son s right to live. i am hoping that they step in and give archie a right to live. i think he deserves that. we have got two other countries have come forward and they have offered archie treatment. if this country cannot treat him or they are not willing to treat him, where is the harm in allowing him to go to another country? you know, we need to advance, like, medicaltechnology, i think, like medicines. and what better way to allow archie to go to see if this can actually be done?
