The drugs company, Pfizer, has blocked the use of its products | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
for lethal injections in the United States. | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
It closes off the last remaining open source of drugs | :00:27. | :00:28. | |
The company says it made products to enhance and save | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
the lives of patients and strongly objected | :00:33. | :00:34. | |
Lethal injections had for decades been seen in the US as the most | :00:35. | :00:51. | |
humane way to carry out the death penalty. Three drugs are used, the | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
first to render the prisoner unconscious, the second to paralyse | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
and the bird to stop the heart. Cases such as that of Clayton | :01:00. | :01:06. | |
Lockett, who in 2014 had suffered an agonising, protracted death at an | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
Oklahoma State prison has resulted in a shift in drug suppliers being | :01:10. | :01:14. | |

controls to make a huge difference to the landscape in terms of lethal | :01:47. | :01:52. | |
injections which be carried out. Since 1976, more than 1400 people | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
have been executed in the United States. Numbers peaked in 1999. Last | :01:58. | :02:09. | |
year there were 28 executions. States will have to either turn to | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
unofficial sources for the lethal drugs or change the method of | :02:14. | :02:14. | |
execution. Hezbollah's top military | :02:15. | :02:16. | |

fleeing war in Somalia. But today it has grown | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
to a sprawling city of some 35000. Now the Kenyan government has | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
tried to shut it down, protests against the closure | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
saying their forced return to Somalia would amount | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
to a mass death sentence. If the problem seems insurmountable, | :04:12. | :04:14. | |

which is not countries in Europe Who need a new deal to recognise | :04:46. | :04:47. | |
these are long-term problems that need an economic solution | :04:48. | :04:54. | |
