Charlie Gard's parents have announced that they are halting their legal fight to get their terminally ill infant to the United States for possible treatment.

Grant Armstrong, the lawyer for Chris Gard and Connie Yates, explained to a United Kingdom court that the opportunity for possible treatment had already passed.
