Yasmin Jones was trying to fetch a dog she was walking, | :00:21. | :00:22. | |
after it slipped under a gate and got onto the tracks. | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
Yasmin Jones grew up in Glastobury ` but had moved to Merseyside | :00:26. | :00:32. | |
On Wednesday afternoon she was out walking her landlady's two dogs | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
when one slipped under a gate at this level crossing near Formby. | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
She and the dog died after being struck by a trahn. | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
Our family is totally devastated by the loss of Yasmin, | :00:45. | :00:54. | |
our beautiful and talented daughter, sister and grandd`ughter. | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
No words can describe the p`in and loss we feel | :00:59. | :01:00. | |
We are comforted by the knowledge that her energy and lust for life | :01:01. | :01:07. | |
She was a pupil at this school. She moved on to this university. | :01:08. | :01:28. | |
In Glastonbury today we met friends of Yasmin in tears. | :01:29. | :01:30. | |
She was very bright. She always had a smile on her face. | :01:31. | :01:42. | |
The crossing where Yasmin dhed is on a busy rail line to Liverpool. | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
Network Rail says it was dud to be closed ` and replaced with | :01:46. | :01:52. | |
a footbridge as part of national safety improvemdnts | :01:53. | :01:54. | |
Locals say it's dangerous bdcause trains appear from behind a bend. | :01:55. | :02:03. | |
New made not see the train tntil ten seconds before the train crosses. | :02:04. | :02:12. | |
An inquest into the death of Yasmin Jones is due to open | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
The Badger Trust says it's considering an appeal after the | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
High Court rejected its latdst legal challenge to the culls | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
They're both due to get underway imminently. | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
The trust had argued there should be independent monitoring of the | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
killings ` something which happened during the pilot culls last year. | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
As campaigners against the cull showed their frustration outside the | :02:37. | :02:38. | |
High Court, inside lawyers for the Badger Trust had argued that Defra | :02:39. | :02:45. | |
had not simply "moved the goalposts" for the second season of culls ` | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
It said the "controlled shooting" in Gloucestershire and Somerset should | :02:49. | :02:55. | |
only take place with independent observers overseeing it. | :02:56. | :02:57. | |
The new Environment minister Liz Truss had already defended | :02:58. | :02:59. | |
the Government's position in the Commons. | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
We are asking the expert body to assess the way that the culls are | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
going and to look at what wd can do in the future. We must use dvery | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
tool in our tool box to address this threat. | :03:16. | :03:26. | |
6,000 cattle were slaughterdd in England last year becausd | :03:27. | :03:28. | |
Many farmers and the Governlent claim culling is the only effective | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
But last year's independent panel found the method | :03:34. | :03:40. | |
of killing inhumane ` and the cull fell well short of set targdts. | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
This year marksmen have been told they need to kill | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
at least 615 badgers in Gloucestershire this auttmn, | :03:48. | :03:49. | |
The Badger Trust was ordered to pay ?10,000 towards Defra's leg`l costs. | :03:50. | :03:56. | |
It can still ask the Appeal Court to hear thd case. | :03:57. | :04:09. | |
A Somerset museum has been given three World War One medals ` | :04:10. | :04:12. | |

William Newman's war was only to last four days. | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
