Little has changed for 11-month-old Charlie Gard, a British infant suffering from a rare genetic disease that has left him brain damaged and unable to breathe unaided. Chris Gard and Connie Yates are spending time with their son before his life-support is turned off. Great Ormond Street Hospital said there is no new updates in Charlie's care.

Donald Trump, the president of the United States has offered to help the terminally ill British baby. The pope has asked for the rights of the parents to be respected on his care. More than 1.3 million pounds ($1.68 million) has been raised to help him travel to America for treatment.

US President Donald Trump and Pope Francis have put an international spotlight on the case of Charlie, whose parents have lost successive court battles to try to take their son to the United States for an experimental therapy that they believe could prolong his life.

"The world is watching," reads the headline across the top of charliesfight.org, the website dedicated to Charlie's cause. "Two of the most powerful men in the world want to give Charlie Gard his chance."

Charlie, is suffering from mitochondrial depletion syndrome, which causes progressive muscle weakness.
