In a video posted on November 13, comedian Rémi Gaillard reveals the deception. The story has been put together and driven by him. The curious light beam was in fact a drone equipped with a diode, and the witnesses of the accomplices ready to relay the information. Her hoax was staged with a meteorologist from Gard, attesting to the seriousness of the phenomenon observed in the sky, and a horse breeder from Hérault, telling TF1 journalists her amazement at the unidentified flying object. "I had to tell the worst story of my life," she confided. Rémi Gaillard affirms that he...

The agonising case of Charlie Gard, the 11-month old baby dying from a rare form of mitochondrial disease, is edging towards a no less agonising conclusion. Today, his parents agreed that he should be transferred from Great Ormond Street hospital in London (GOSH) to a hospice to spend there his final period of life. The hospice was a compromise. The parents have been fighting the plan for their baby’s end of life care just as they had fought the decision that he should no longer be kept alive. They wanted to bring Charlie home to die. The hospital refused to...

The parents of terminally-ill baby Charlie Gard have ended their legal challenge to take him to the US for experimental treatment. A lawyer representing Chris Gard and Connie Yates told the High Court that "time had run out" for the baby. Grant Armstrong said Charlie's parents had made the decision because an American doctor said it was too late to give him nucleoside therapy.

The parents of terminally-ill baby Charlie Gard have walked out of a High Court hearing to decide if he should undergo treatment. Charlie's father Chris Gard stood up and said: "I thought this was supposed to be independent," as the couple left the courtroom about two hours into today's hearing. Mr Gard and his partner Connie Yates are arguing they should be allowed to take give experimental treatment to their 11-month-old for a severe degenerative genetic disorder. Specialists at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) in London, where Charlie is being cared for, say that Charlie has already suffered catastrophic brain...

The liberal media have refused cover the story of terminally-ill baby Charlie Gard in Britain and his parents’ fight in European courts to bring him to the United States for medical treatment. However, after President Trump tweeted out his support for the family on Monday, MSNBC finally found time to cover the topic – if only so their reporter could cynically accuse Trump of “exploiting” the situation. Minutes after the President posted his statement to social media in the 10 a.m. ET hour, anchor Hallie Jackson informed viewers: “...you may have seen a couple minutes ago President Trump is back...

Controversy over the comment is tricking down to statewide races. Both 8th Congressional District candidates weighed in before Kerry's apology. Steve Kagen said he didn't think Kerry needed to apologize. He responded to a reporter's question, "You'd have to ask Senator Kerry what he's thinking. You want to ask what Steve Kagen thinks, I can tell you what I think." Kagen, a Democrat, said he thinks Kerry's comment was more about education costs than anything else, and not a slander to the troops. Campaigning Wednesday in Gard's home territory of Lena, Coleman, and Pound, Kagen said he supports the troops...
