A 43-year-old mum has been charged with the murder of three young children who were found dead in a house.
Yasmeen Ali is accused of murdering seven-year-old Fares Bash, three-year-old Joury Bash and nine-month-old Mohammed Bash.

All three died in February 2024 after an incident in Blaise Walk in the Bristol suburb of Sea Mills.
Forensic post-mortem examinations were carried out on the three siblings’ bodies, and revealed that they all died of knife injuries.
Avon and Somerset Police said Ali, 43, remains in the care of mental health services.
Ali will appear in court at a later date, the force said.
An earlier inquest showed they had injuries to their chests and necks, while Fares Bash also showed possible signs of asphyxia.
Chief Inspector Keith Smith said: “This has been an extremely complex and highly sensitive investigation, resulting in charges being authorised by the Crown Prosecution Service.
“We know this incident has had a devastating impact on the children’s loved ones, those close to the family, as well as the wider Sea Mills community – a community which has shown remarkable resilience and kindness over the past 19 months.
“Our neighbourhood policing team will be available to speak to anyone who has worries or concerns as a result of this latest development.
“It’s vitally important we allow the court process to continue unhindered and we’d respectfully ask people to refrain from speculation and consider the impact of commentary on those who are continuing to mourn the tragic loss of three children.”
Andrew Pritchard, of the Crown Prosecution Service, added: “The Crown Prosecution Service has decided to prosecute Yasmeen Ali for three counts of murder, following a police investigation into the deaths of her three children.
“I have decided that there is sufficient evidence to bring the case to trial and that it is in the public interest to pursue criminal proceedings.
“We remind all concerned that proceedings against the suspect are active and she has a right to a fair trial.
“It is vital that there should be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online which could in any way prejudice these proceedings.”
