    Footage shot on Monday shows London’s Royal Court of Justice, home to the Court of Appeal, as well as The Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel; both central to the case of 12-year-old Archie Battersbee.

    The appeal court rejected a challenge brought by Archie’s parents on Monday, allowing the hospital to turn off his life support at midday on Tuesday.

    The decision came despite a request from the United Nations to keep the boy alive while it considered the case.

    Archie has been in hospital since April, after his mother found him with a ligature around his neck. His doctors believe he has suffered brain-stem death.
