hello and welcome to 100 days. at least 58 people have been gassed to death and 300 are in hospital in one of the worst autrocities of the syrian war. the white house calls it a "reprehensible" act but also blames the weakness of the obama administration. the attack happened in a rebel—held town. reports suggest militaryjets also fired rockets at clinics where the injured were being treated. the un security council has called an emergency meeting. what we understood, it was a chemical attack and it came from the air. the syrian and russian governments deny any involvement in what's being investigated as a war crime. also on the programme... a top member of president obama's team comes underfire, accused of politicising intelligence. the claims, she says, are absolutely false. it's showtime in the senate. republicans say they are ready to "go nuclear" if that's what it takes to confirm neil gorsuch to the supreme court.

also today, re—forging an old alliance... as brexit negotiations begin, the uk government travels to india to begin the early work on a future trade deal. and picture perfect? or is itjust too perfect? what melania trump's first official portrait tells us about the new first lady. i'm katty kay in washington, christian fraser is in london. the pictures are appalling, the pattern all too familiar, and the international response predictable. civilians in a rebel—held area of syria have been gassed and murdered. it has happened before, with red lines crossed — by both sides — with impunity. today, in the seventh year of the syrian civil war, it seems president assad's regime can do what it wants. so far, at least 58 people are known to have died in this latest attack. the syrian observatory for human rights said the air strikes in khan sheikhoun,

in the north west of the country, came early in the morning while many were still sleeping. our correspondentjames robbins has the report. he is alive but he is struggling to breathe. around him, other children are already on oxygen, all of them victims of gas. other pictures, too graphic to broadcast, show fire crews in the streets of khan sheikhoun spraying adults and children where they fell, many of them clearly among the dead. translation: i lost my son, my children, my neighbours, my daughter. they are all gone. i only have god left. translation: all are wounded, some are dead, there are many suffocation cases. we couldn't enter khan sheikhoun city because of the systematic shelling. then, as a syrian activist was filming in one hospital treating victims, this happened.

an apparent air strike. this whole rebel—held area in north—west syria, a last opposition stronghold, has been under heavy bombardment by pro—government forces. there is a history of chemical attacks in syria's six year—long civil war. president assad's government had known stocks and was widely accused of this attack in august 2013. that appeared to cross a red line which had been drawn by president obama but britain and the us pulled back from military action. instead, the assad regime, under pressure, agreed to surrender its known stocks by the middle of 2014. but later, a un commission found evidence of chemical weapons being used in attacks in idlib, both in 2014 and 2015. government supporters are blaming today's poisoning on the rebels, accusing them of storing gas in a factory which exploded close to the town. but the un's syria envoy, while cautious, did not appear

to back that account. what we have understood, it was a chemical attack and it came from the air. we have been and we will be stimulating all those who have the capacity of finding out technically what happened. efforts are already being made to gather forensic evidence in the hospitals where today's victims are being treated but it seems clear a war crime has been committed. the use of chemical weapons is completely banned under international law, a law which appears to have been violated once again in syria today. james robbins, bbc news. our middle east editorjeremy bowen is fresh back from mosul in iraq. he has also spent a lot of time in syria. i suppose when a red line has been crossed it can be crossed again and again. just, 2013, similar scenes in

terms of the video that came out of damascus. it was a chemical attack and president obama said that there was a red line, use chemical weapons and you will feel my rough. it didn't happen. america actually blinked. we don't know whether president trump has red lines about this. we don't do what they will do if they do anything if it is from that division was behind it. the russian and syrian government are denying involvement in this attack. you know the country well. is that what it possible? it depends if the reports are true. that it came from an air bombing attack. the last couple of days, that town has been hit heavily by regime and by russian jets. if it did come from an error attack, did someone else have

crafted the ever? at the moment, there be no reports of that. this is also in social evidence this point. the fact is that the regime, the world consensus is that this has be done before. what is in it for president assad? maybe he wants to deliver a blow to the rebels in idlib. if he has got away with it once, perhaps because he can get away with it again. it was said that the future of syria is a decision for the syria people. yesterday, the egyptian president, criticised for its human rights abuses, welcomed as a friend. does this sort of attitude towards autocrats in middle east open the door to this paper?|j towards autocrats in middle east open the door to this paper? i think it probably does. burke until the arab uprisings of 2011 it was

commonplace for the west to have its favourite dictators who they could call. they liked the idea of having just one address. one person you could call to sort things out. many people argue that one of the great problems the middle east has and why we see so problems the middle east has and why we see so much violence is that the reign of these dictators from the 19505 reign of these dictators from the 1950s onwards destroyed any chance of civil society and political action and the growth of parties and different countries, so when there was pressure for a change, it was expressed violently. thanks for those dots. there has been confirmation of the attack. the white house press secretary sean spicer has been speaking about the attack. this chemical attack in syria against innocent people, including women and children, is reprehensible and cannot be ignored by the civilised world. this heinous actions by the bashar al—assad regime are a consequence of the past administration's

weakness and irresolution — period. so, what should, and more importantly what will, the world do now? former deputy secretary of state pj crowley is with us. he is the author of red line, a critique of us foreign policy in the middle east. president obama, he worked for, when you at the state department said the red line and then didn't cross it. when you talk to the members of the obama administration about the record on syria, they will say that they got the chemical weapons out and that did theirjob. it looks that that is not true. i think the obama administration did mismanage the red line in 2013. why do they got all of the non—stocks on whether syria has been resupplied is a

question to be answered. the trump white house can say that the situation in syria went from bad to worse during the banner administration. it doesn't mean that it is confronting better policy options into that and 70 in thanet obama into dust and 13. in fact, it confronts the same political restraints. donald trump was elected to fix america, not syria. do you think there will be any substantive difference between donald trump's policies towards syria and barack obama's? the trump administration is largely following the banner administration policy. it defines its interest in syria in terms of islamic state. —— following the obama administration. islamic state will be defeated at some point, sooner rather than later hopefully.

the trump magician has actually done itself a disservice. the dilemma for the trump administration is that you cannot reduce the level of political extremism until you have a solution to syria. and we don't at the present time. it's kristina mladenovic theresa may has said that need an investigation in syria. what are the chances of ever bringing some of the book from it. the russian and syria governments are doing in 2017 precisely what they did in 2013, to my involvement and saying that it was the rebels. —— denying involvement. in 2013 the resolver da un investigation team there that was able to at least validate that a chemical weapons

attack it did occur. in the us, that intelligence is linked that the specific syria units that dealt with chemical weapons. it is optimal for us to have another investigation to be able to identify whether it was an airattack oran be able to identify whether it was an air attack or an indirect result on and marketing attack on a facility with chemical gas. do you think that president assad is sitting in the back this —— in damascus listening to the united nations and looking at the trump administration thinking, the world is not going to intervene, all bets are off and taken to retire once. —— andi are off and taken to retire once. —— and i can do what i want? syria,

iran and russia have calculated that the policies come with risk. we must focus on the sad reality in syria that the regime backed by russia are going to do what they can and use whichever tool at their disposal to defeat the syria opposition. thank you forjoining us. senatorjohn mccain was quick out of the blocks on this. he called for a different policy. he wa nts to he called for a different policy. he wants to support the free civilian army with more arms. he was simply condemn it generally the abuses much more loudly. i wondered when i was listening to that. does donald trump's based went to focus on —— base, who clearly want to focus on smashing iis, to the look at this and shift public opinion? it would

be nice to think so. but we've been here before with previous chemical attacks, previous images of children in distress in syria and there is a day or two of public outrage and john mccain ‘s songs at the forefront. he is the republican hawk on capital hill anti—sets out with indignation. —— and he set out. maybe there will be a different outcome now and this will lead to something. i suspect that what we have heard about the president assad regime feeling it has some immunity is the realistic situation. these images will horrify donald trump's base for the next 2a hours and then we will move on. that is the sadness of this war. the has-been much

reaction. nothing so far on the twitter feed of donald trump. today, he has been diverting attention from the russia investigation. miss rice has been ms rice has been accused of "unmasking" members of donald trump's transition team that were named in confidential intelligence reports. the name of any us citizen incidentally caught up in surveillance of foreign officials is usually redacted — they're just us person one. in certain cases, intelligence agencies can request the person's real name be released or "unmasked". it is not illegal. but mr trump's team says the obama administration wanted to unmask people for purely political reasons. high when to put it in context. in december, susan rice is sitting there when obama gets rid of some diplomats. she is getting

intelligence on how the russians are responding. up pops some american names that is incidentally collected. it seems to me that she surely has to ask, it is herjob, to ask these americans are good talking to the russians. if that is how it happened. we are to be incredibly careful there is no evidence that the trump administration was colluding with the russian government to affect the vote. we cannot speculate too much. was susan rice asking for these names to be unmasked for intelligence reasons, legitimate as you're suggesting, or for political reasons? because she wa nted for political reasons? because she wanted political information about the trump transmission team. that would not look very good. i think

they were and lots more questions about this and it puts the onus on the obama team to answer questions for once and not russia. that is probably —— frequent about russia. on friday the us senate will vote on whether or not to confirm donald trump's supreme court nominee neil gorsuch. they got to decide whether or not voting through. the democrats have enough votes to stage a filibuster, potentially thwarting the appointment. the photo of the judicial branch goes jane o'brien explains why this vote matters. he's got mad with the media, riled by russia and been given a headache by health care. but it's the federal courts that have really made president trump fume. just a short time ago attacking the legal system... we're going to fight this terrible ruling. and now he has the chance

to shake them up. it's conceivable that president trump could replace one third of the judiciary in four years. the republican—controlled senate was loathe to confirm president obama's nominees, therefore you got a big backlog and there are over 100 vacancies on the court. that's a record or darned close. so he has greater potential to impact our federaljudiciary than any president in recent memory. while all eyes are on mr trump's for the supreme court, neil gorsuch, the president's power to appoint judges will ripple through the entire judicial system. when you think of the american judicial system, think of a giant pyramid. at the top stands the supreme court. only a handful of cases get to the supreme court. then you have the intermediate courts and then the big base of that pyramid, they are the federal district court. that's the face of justice in america. they handle thousands of cases. interaction with the american people and the judiciary,

that's where it all happens. that's why they're all so incredibly important. federal courts rule on a whole range of issues including guns and immigration and abortion. they also have the power to thwart the best laid plans of congress and the president. the federal courts actually have the last word on whether something will fly in this country or not. giving president trump the power to appoint these judges, that's raw political power. let's speak now to our resident commentator, former advisor to president george w bush, and republican political strategist, ron christie. talk to me about the political strategy of this because neil gorsuch is going to be a supreme courtjudge. we are the democrats deciding to fight this as much as they are when it could be causing them problems in one election campaign? it's simple. the democrats feel that they have to the base.

they have to play to play to those that but that hillary clinton will be the next president. they are really disappointed by the fact that the justice that president obama had pointed out to get a hearing. this is payback time. it is about to miss jetting to the base that they are fighting and that they will stop donald trump anywhere possible. this is really all about politics and not about how good of a judge neil gorsuch might be? yes, some people say he's qualified. he might be qualified but they might not like his positions. some of these democrats might disapprove of what you would do with america. this is about ideology. of course it is very conservative. he is an original list, wants to hold to the original

wording of the constitution. but democrats say that they should have a modern take on the constitution. i'm looking from afar. i'm going to wina tour i'm looking from afar. i'm going to win a tour resumes. i've read something the other day that thomas jefferson told george washington, how do you explain the relationship between the house and the senate? he said that the house is the teacup and the senate is about cooling down bt. nichols done the infighting in the house but now it sounds like they are just as partisan as the house. it is true. what you have seenin house. it is true. what you have seen in the last 12 years or so is that the senate used to be the delivered body. they called themselves the upper chamber. in the last 10—12 years they have become as partisan and angry and divisive as

the house of representatives. what you have seen here with this supreme court nominee and the fight where the democratic leader is leading the fight for the filibuster. it's all about politics. i wonder what it does to the institution. are we now going to have the advice and consent for the senate now changed to whichever the ruling majority of 51 members of the united states senate says? that's not how we do things. you can always trust a bridge to get it back to the! 0k, you can always trust a bridge to get it back to the! ok, let's go to 50,000 future and put this in context. it's kind of insight deulofeu. lots of internal politics. how critical is the decision that the senate will make neil gorsuch? it is historic. never in our history have we had a filibuster on a united

state supreme court justice. have we had a filibuster on a united state supreme courtjustice. for the first time, we got from a 50 fold threshold to go to a 51 foot threshold. this suggests that there will be a partisan part. i am very concerned about this new development. the seychelles markets itself as a remote paradise where business and pleasure can be carried out away from prying eyes. it's now been alleged the chain of islands was used for a secret meeting in january to foster back—channel communication between russia and then president—elect donald trump. a report in the washington post quotes anonymous officials from the us, europe and the middle east. they say the meeting took place about a week before trump's inauguration and was set up by the united arab emirates. one of the attendees was this man. erik prince is the founder of us security firm blackwater. the company might sound familiar. we don't do who he met but only that

the person is said to be close to the person is said to be close to the russian president vladimir putin. the white house press secretary sean spicer says, "we are not aware of any meetings and erik prince had no role in the transition." a spokesman for erik prince told the post, "erik had no role on the transition team. this is a complete fabrication. the meeting had nothing to do with president trump." he is the problem, they do have deniability. he had no formal role in the transition but very few people have the formal role. erik prince did advise president trump elect and gave quarter of $1 million to the campaign and was close to the trump transition team. i think that makes them part of the... trump transition team. i think that makes them part of the. .. and his sister is betty gave us. she is. that makes him call staff. we were talking earlier about susan rice.

that was in a way, a good news moment. if you are looking at this story, this is the kind of stories that the trump transition team does not want coming out because it makes it look like something nefarious is going on. i was with a bunch of senators and people from the intelligence committee last night in washington and the material is increasingly, this russia stuff has to be investigated. maybe there is actually something there in the idea of collusion. i should surely this, christian. the pennsylvania senator having a bit of fun with this idea. i'm sure you go to the seychelles often for your business meetings. it comes as nothing new to you. it's a good gift that. it is a sit up and ta ke good gift that. it is a sit up and take notice kind of story. the

democrats make the point that isn't in suspicion is that everybody seemed to the meeting russians and then they take it back to when they we re then they take it back to when they were joining then they take it back to when they werejoining the then they take it back to when they were joining the obama administration. they said, we were reading any russians at all. yet these meetings suddenly appear. —— they said, we were not meeting any russians. you are a sceptic? yes. you're watching 100 days from bbc news. still to come for viewers on the bbc news channel and bbc world news, looking to post brexit ties. it can't officially start trade negotiations, but the uk is already courting other countries, and india is in its sights. and it's the official melania trump white house portrait. but it's been released to a somewhat mixed reaction. that's still to come on 100 days, from bbc news. things are settling down nicely with

the few days. we will get rid of the high pressure. that will bring some fine and settled weather. question marks about cloud amounts. underneath the week weather front, skies were pretty grey. got a great deal of rain. some are cross—legged and the south—east. a good bit of sunshine. club for northern ireland and scotland. sharon was in the north of scotland. it will be really windy as well. the showers will be rattling through on the wind. increasing cloud coming from the north. in the south—west and morals —— and rural sports,

north. in the south—west and morals —— and ruralsports, clear north. in the south—west and morals —— and rural sports, clear skies. windy into the morning in scotland. still some showers coming through. in northern ireland, the odd light showers. most places dry, particularly to the east. the pennines might see something a bit brighter any money. a lovely bright start in the south. some chill to the. some sunshine towards the south—west. clarke demands slowly increasing. cloud drifting from the north. some styles of sunshine in the eastern side of scotland. in spite of cloud, most places dry and fine in the afternoon. good evening —— through the evening, some rain. most places, however, will be dry. 50 and friday, pretty similar days. might bea 50 and friday, pretty similar days. might be a bit cold and some styles

of sunshine. the weather system will flip of sunshine. the weather system will flip towards the continent through the weekend. then we will have some fairly warm air. temperatures getting back up particularly across england and wales in the high teens, low 20s. welcome back to one hundred days. at least 58 people have been gassed to death and 300 are in hospital in one of the worst atrocities of the syrian war. the white house has called it reprehensible. these heinous actions area reprehensible. these heinous actions are a consequence of the past administration's weakness. scotland's first minister is about

to mount a strong defence for immigration, trade, and her country's place in the world. the brexit negotiations began last week, and already the uk government is looking to the future, this week they are in india, looking for new markets. the two countries already have deep trade links. in 2014 the value of all goods and services sold between india and the uk was around 24 billion dollars. the relationship works in india's favour. they export a lot more goods to the uk than the other way around. but they are looking to raise more than one trillion dollars for infrastructure projects over the next decade and the uk wants a piece of that action. officially the uk can't agree trade deals until it leaves the eu, but chancellor philip hammond is making it clear that he already sees india as an important economic partner. india's economy is opening and

growing ina india's economy is opening and growing in a way that would have seemed unimaginable just a few years ago and the uk has made the historic decision to leave the european union and to re—forged its historic links and to re—forged its historic links and ties with partners, allies and friends around the world. great britain and india have a huge amount in common. we already have very significant trade and investment relationships. i'm joined in the studio by the former head of the department of uk trade and industry, sir andrew cahn. you were saying earlier that it has taken the you were saying earlier that it has ta ken the european you were saying earlier that it has taken the european union years to try to get a trade deal with india and they failed, and some on the brexit side in britain would say thatis brexit side in britain would say that is precisely the point. it is so difficult when you have so many countries to agree a trade deal, we

will be much more nimble. the european union has managed to negotiate 54 trade deals, and they are tough negotiators, but it is true it has taken nine years to fail to reach an agreement. i suspect britain can reach an agreement with india. there is an opportunity for britain to do a useful trade deal. do we come cap in hand because we bring quite a bit of the table? we need trade deals at the moment because we are leaving the european union. the whole world knows that we are leaving the trade bloc, the single market, which takes 45% of our exports at the moment. clearly whatever happens, it won't be as good as the status quo so we will lose some access to that market, so we need access to other markets.

that's why you have theresa may in saudi arabia as we speak. lynn fox, the trade secretary, is in malaysia -- liam the trade secretary, is in malaysia —— liam fox. ministers are spreading out across the world, trying to find places to do their deals to replace the lost trade opportunities in the european union single market. obviously in trade negotiations there was always a quid for the pro—quote. one of the things indians would like is more access to uk visas for their skilled workers, is that something the uk will have to give india if it wants some kind of trade deal? absolutely, what the indians want is notjust access for their skilled workers, also they are very conscious that people of indian ethnic origin are the largest non—british—born group in this country. they want to bring in their

dependents, so they also want easy of visas to get. at the moment it is quite an expensive process and they are saying why can't we have ready access to visas, ready access to get into the uk? that is quite difficult for a government who has omitted itself to reducing immigration by a huge amount, and who knows that one of the reasons for the vote to leave the eu was a feeling we didn't have control of our borders. i'm an optimist, i will save down the road we seal a deal with india, how long does it take from that point on to —— for the riches to start flowing? that's a good point, people are speaking as if you do the deal and the following day the goods start flowing, but that's not how it is at all. i like to think of it as a door

which is half open already. in 1947 when they were independent, a third of all indian trade was with the uk, but nevertheless we do have trade, the door is a little bit open, a trade deal would open it quite a long way further. it would give our accountants, long way further. it would give our accou nta nts, lawyers, long way further. it would give our accountants, lawyers, finance people, ranks it gives those people more people, ranks it gives those people m o re a ccess people, ranks it gives those people more access to the market but of course they don't get there immediately. companies need to decide, the indian market is available, we will open an office there. they need help to do that. theresa may has set up the department for international trade to dojust that, department for international trade to do just that, and department for international trade to dojust that, and it department for international trade to do just that, and it is expanding, but there is a huge task involved in helping british business go through those doors which are

open for trade agreements. there's going to be lots more on this, i hope you will come back and talk to us. very happy to do so, thank you. in less than half an hour, scotland's first minister, nicola sturgeon, will give a speech at stanford university. the topic? scotland's place in the world. earlier today ms sturgeon signed a joint agreement with the governor of california agreeing to work together on climate change. james, we have just james, we havejust been james, we have just been talking about the british government going to india, so they are going east and the scottish government is going west! yes, this is stanford university in northern california, where nicola sturgeon is expected to speak very soon and i think she's trying to do a couple of things on this visit. firstly she insists it is about trade and investment and forging and indeed nurturing links

between scottish companies and the scottish government, and american firms here, and in that regard yesterday she met the chief executive of apple and discussed pioneering medical research with him, and also met executives from the company tesla, and discussed with them the idea of using batteries to store renewable energy which would be useful to scotland, which would be useful to scotland, which has quite a lot of renewable energy, particularly in offshore wind farms. but there is a second aim here as well, perhaps not as over but it is pretty clear, and thatis over but it is pretty clear, and that is that nicola sturgeon hopes to show that scotland is and can be a player on the world stage. what we are trying to do in scotland, and it's why i'm coming to meet companies like apple, we are trying to not only lead the world in doing

the right thing but also get the economic advantage of that in terms of investment for scotland as well. how do you respond to the accusations made in scotland by the conservatives who say you are grandstanding abroad and talking too much about independence? this trip is fundamentally about business links and trade, and that is all the more important now in light of brexit that scotland sells the message about what an attractive place we are to do business. nicola sturgeon is expected in her speech to mount a staunch defence of globalisation, saying that immigration and free trade are necessary and that people, to defend and further them, need to understand they have caused disillusionment and unhappiness. her argument will basically be that those people need to be looked after. in essence i think she is saying that from her point of view the rise of donald trump in the united states and brexit in europe are symptoms rather

than solutions to a problem. i'm just not sure the people of california are that focused on the scottish economy at the moment. the 11 candidates in the french presidential election will take part in a televised debate, due to start in the next few minutes. the campaign is now into its final stages ahead of the first round of voting on 23rd april. let's go live now to paris and our correspondent hugh schofield. i'm always a bit wary of these things where this 11 candidates on the stage. do we get very much from them? i think there's a real danger of this collapsing into farce because we have 11 candidates. if you remember those debates in which the five front runners took part that was the successful event but there was a cry from the minority candidates who said with some legitimacy that they were being cut

out of this democratic process and they demanded to debate in which they demanded to debate in which they can take heart, but the problem is there are 11 people who reached this threshold of getting 500 signatures of the great and good around the country, so for this debate we will have three and a half hours in which they get quarter of an hourto hours in which they get quarter of an hour to speak, and among those speaking will be people like emanuel curtis luck, likely to be the next president. i don't think it will be —— emanuel macron. be the next president. i don't think it will be -- emanuel macron. have we ever shown our viewers the promotion photo for one hundred

days? i thought that was a pretty good photograph until i saw the photograph of the first lady, melania trump. we need her agent to do work on our photograph, what do you think? it is very 1930s clamorous, and with an awful lot of airbrushing. why don't we have this on our programme? we could have the programme entirely in soft focus. she also looks remarkably young. you said earlier when we were practising this that you can't believe... how many years younger than you is she? 0k, many years younger than you is she? ok, we are not talking about that. i told you earlier we are not talking about it! seriously, the first lady, here she is. absolutely gorgeous photo but the speculation is on, will she ever move into the white

house? because she seems much more happy in new york city. she says at least not until the end of her child's school year. that's all from one hundred days, if you would like to get in touch you can do so using the hashtag. we will be back at the same time tomorrow. i'm going to go and get told off. see you tomorrow. this is bbc news. the headlines: a suspected chemical attack in a rebel—held area of syria kills scores of people most of the dead are civilians including children. there's been widespread international condemnation. in russia the number of people who died in the bomb attack on the st petersburg underground has risen to 14. in northern ireland a man who sexually abused a woman with a learning disability and held her captive for eight years has been jailed.

an update on the market numbers for you — here's how london's and frankfurt ended the day. having a premature baby can leave parents feeling shocked, confused, and powerless. the daily hospital visits can grind mums and dads down and lead to a sense of helplessness. but one neo—natal unit in leeds is trialling a new approach which hands back control to parents. they decide when to give medication and when and how to feed their babies. they take lessons in looking after their children the moment they're born. nicola rees has exclusive access to the unit at stjames' hospital in leeds. baby lola is in the special care unit at stjames's,

orjimmy‘s, hospital. born atjust 23 weeks, her chances of survival were slim. during labour, one of the neonatal consultants came to see us, he painted a really bad picture that she could have all sorts of problems. in the intensive care unit, it was terrifying. it's something that very few people get to see, i would imagine. she was absolutely tiny, she had wires coming out of everywhere. she did actually have a twin brother, but sadly he didn't survive. she's given us something positive to focus on, i don't know how we'd have coped if it wasn't for her. but as soon as she left intensive care, mum anna took over from the nurses. one of the jobs we have to do is take her temperature, maybe every three or four hours, a simple procedure, really, just the thermometer on the wall, then just a case of going in under herarm. st james's hospital was the first in the uk to introduce what's called family integrated care.

family integrated care aims to get the parent at the very centre of the team caring for the baby. parents are taught to pass nasogastric tubes and to feed their babies.
