:01:40. > :01:44.Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News at One. Tony Nicklinson,
:01:44. > :01:49.the man with locked-in syndrome, who fought for the right for
:01:49. > :01:54.doctors to legally end his life has died. His lawyers said he died of
:01:54. > :01:59.natural causes at 10am this morning at his family home in Trowbridge.
:01:59. > :02:03.After losing his legal challenge last Thursday, he said he was
:02:03. > :02:07.devastated and described his life as a living nightmare. Wiltshire
:02:07. > :02:13.police said they would not be investigating his death and his
:02:13. > :02:17.death certificate had been signed by a doctor.
:02:17. > :02:22.Tony Nicklinson said his life became a living nightmare after he
:02:22. > :02:26.was struck down by a catastrophic stroke during a business trip to
:02:27. > :02:31.Athens in 2005. Paralysed from the neck down he could only communicate
:02:31. > :02:35.by blinking and through the use of computer software. Over the past
:02:35. > :02:40.few years he has been caning for the right for doctors to end his
:02:40. > :02:43.life, challenging the law in England and Wales. Last week he
:02:43. > :02:48.lost a High Court case that would have allowed someone to administer
:02:49. > :02:54.like ending drugs. The decision left him devastated. It is not
:02:54. > :02:59.entirely unexpected. Judges, like politicians, have avoided
:02:59. > :03:03.confronting the real issues. Everyone accepted this was a deeply
:03:03. > :03:09.moving case, but the judges ruled that to allow him to die as he
:03:09. > :03:12.wished would have involved a major change in the law. For his family
:03:12. > :03:17.the judgment was deeply disappointing. A as you can see it
:03:17. > :03:21.from his reaction he is heartbroken. We always knew it was a big ask,
:03:21. > :03:26.but we have always hoped the judges would see sense and quite plainly
:03:26. > :03:31.they have not. Until seven years ago Tony was an active and outgoing
:03:31. > :03:34.man, but the stroke left him totally dependent on carers. This
:03:34. > :03:40.morning the family tweeted that their dad died of natural causes
:03:40. > :03:45.and quoted his own words, could buy world, the time has come, I have
:03:45. > :03:50.had fun. They thanked all who had supported him. After Tony received
:03:50. > :03:56.the draft judgment on 12th August, the fight seemed to go out of him.
:03:56. > :03:59.He said he was heartbroken by the High Court's decision he could not
:04:00. > :04:05.end his life at the time of his choosing with the help of a doctor.
:04:05. > :04:09.The case posed difficult legal and ethical dilemmas, but at its heart
:04:09. > :04:14.was a 58 year-old man who was cruelly struck down in what should
:04:14. > :04:19.have been the prime of his life. Tony Nicklinson who died at his
:04:19. > :04:22.home this morning. Essex Police has been severely
:04:22. > :04:27.criticised for failings in the way it handled the case of a woman he
:04:27. > :04:30.was shot dead by her partner along with her two-year-old daughter. The
:04:30. > :04:34.police watchdog said that force had failed to notice a pattern of
:04:34. > :04:38.incidents reported by Christine Chambers leading up to her death
:04:38. > :04:43.will stop David Oakes was jailed for the murders earlier this year.
:04:43. > :04:48.Christine Chambers and her two- year-old daughter Shania, shot dead
:04:48. > :04:53.in their home by a former partner and father. It was David Oakes who
:04:53. > :04:58.later stood trial for their murders, still bearing the sky where he
:04:58. > :05:03.turned the gun on himself. There had been 16 incidents of domestic
:05:03. > :05:06.abuse in the years before the murders. One witness saw him drag
:05:06. > :05:12.Christine down the street by her hair. There was a custody battle
:05:12. > :05:16.over Shania and a court order in place against David Oakes, but the
:05:16. > :05:20.IPCC found Essex police lacking. Among the criticisms of the report
:05:20. > :05:26.says the police failed to recognise the pattern and escalation of
:05:26. > :05:31.violence. Information was not shared or acted upon and domestic
:05:31. > :05:36.abuse teams were poorly resourced. The incidents that were dealt with
:05:36. > :05:39.were individual ones and the big picture was not looked at.
:05:39. > :05:43.Information that was available that was being used up for the county
:05:43. > :05:46.court proceedings for a child custody were not available to the
:05:46. > :05:52.place and that would have help them to see what a higher risk situation
:05:52. > :05:56.it was. Christine Chambers' father Ken it said in a statement the
:05:56. > :06:01.police should have done more to protect Christian. She should have
:06:01. > :06:04.had a panic alarm installed at her home, he said, and we think that
:06:04. > :06:09.officers dealing with ongoing incident should have been more
:06:09. > :06:15.aware of their history. Essex Police has apologised for its
:06:15. > :06:19.failing and has said domestic abuse was a blight on society. India
:06:19. > :06:23.Christian and Shania died it received a 32,000 reports of
:06:23. > :06:29.domestic abuse across the county to which it devoted a quarter of its
:06:29. > :06:33.entire resources. The former tycoon Asil Nadir has
:06:33. > :06:37.been found guilty of a further seven counts of theft from his
:06:37. > :06:43.Polly Peck business empire. The jury had already convicted him on
:06:43. > :06:47.three charges earlier in the week. They found he had taken more than
:06:47. > :06:51.�28 million from the company. Our correspondent was in court and
:06:51. > :06:55.joins us now. Asil Nadir stood in the dock are
:06:55. > :07:00.completely impassive as the jury delivered its verdicts on those
:07:00. > :07:07.nine remaining counts, finding him guilty on seven and not guilty on
:07:07. > :07:10.two. He has been found guilty of stealing the vast majority of �34
:07:10. > :07:15.million that he was accused of taking from Polly Peck
:07:15. > :07:18.International, the business conglomerate he built up. The judge
:07:18. > :07:24.thanked the cheery for their stamina in a gruelling seven-month
:07:24. > :07:29.trial. What is certain for Asil Nadir today marks a spectacular
:07:29. > :07:32.fall from grace. He was the successful millionaire
:07:32. > :07:37.businessman whose Polly Peck empire was brought crashing down by an
:07:37. > :07:43.investigation that has taken over 20 years to complete. The Serious
:07:43. > :07:47.Fraud Office's long pursuit of Asil Nadir has finally been vindicated.
:07:47. > :07:52.Shareholders, individuals and corporate lost a huge amount of
:07:52. > :07:58.money and people lost their jobs as well. As far as the reputation of
:07:58. > :08:03.London is concerned as a financial centre, if that sort of thing is
:08:03. > :08:09.able to occur, it damages our reputation. For two decades he
:08:09. > :08:13.remained defiant. Did you steal that money? Absolutely not. It
:08:13. > :08:18.makes you wonder a man worth hundreds of millions of pounds,
:08:18. > :08:24.spending dozens of millions of pounds a year on charity, what
:08:24. > :08:30.motive does he have? The 1980s was the get-rich-quick decade and no-
:08:30. > :08:35.one got richer, quicker than Asil Nadir. Starting in the rag trade in
:08:35. > :08:41.1980, he made an investment that was to turn him into a modern-day
:08:41. > :08:50.Midas. He paid nearly �300,000 for a stake in a small textile company
:08:50. > :08:54.called Polly Peck. By the end of the decade, it was valued at �2
:08:54. > :08:59.billion and he was mixing in high circles and had become a donor to
:08:59. > :09:04.the Conservative Party. But things started to fall spectacularly apart
:09:04. > :09:08.for Asil Nadir when the Serious Fraud Office raided one of his
:09:08. > :09:15.offices in Mayfair. They were investigating allegations of
:09:15. > :09:20.insider trading and that triggered the collapse of Polly Peck. It
:09:20. > :09:25.caught investors completely by surprise. This lady had used her
:09:25. > :09:29.savings to buy several thousand pounds worth of shares. It had a
:09:29. > :09:34.brilliant annual report from the accountants which gave you no
:09:34. > :09:42.reason to think they would be bad in any way, that it was suddenly go
:09:42. > :09:48.broke. A few days later complete collapse. The SFO raid set in train
:09:48. > :09:53.a shocking series of events. With the share price on the floor, the
:09:53. > :09:59.company went into administration and in December 1990 Asil Nadir was
:09:59. > :10:03.arrested and charged. In 1993 with his trial date approaching he
:10:03. > :10:09.decided to flee the UK, asking a pilot to drive him to this remote
:10:09. > :10:13.airfield in Dorset. We came up with his gate, left the car, the
:10:13. > :10:19.aeroplane was right in front of us and the engines were turning. I
:10:19. > :10:23.bundled him in and within 35 seconds we were airborne. The SFO
:10:23. > :10:28.had let the man at the centre of one of the biggest ever fraud
:10:28. > :10:33.trials slip through their fingers. The Turkish controlled part of
:10:33. > :10:40.Cyprus has no extradition treaty with the UK. For years he lived
:10:40. > :10:47.there beyond the reach of the law. Until 2010, when he returned to the
:10:47. > :10:51.UK, saying he finally wanted to clear his name. He was accused of
:10:52. > :10:55.stealing �115 million from Polly Peck's bank accounts in London,
:10:55. > :11:01.often reaching eight by the Channel Islands and then through a complex
:11:01. > :11:06.web of countries which the family controlled. As he always said that
:11:06. > :11:09.before he took any money from the company in London, he had always
:11:09. > :11:15.deposited equivalent amounts into family bank accounts in northern
:11:15. > :11:20.Cyprus, so there could never have been any theft. But at the end of
:11:20. > :11:28.the seven-month trial the jury rejected his account. Now Asil
:11:28. > :11:34.Nadir has lost everything. Sentencing will take place at 10am
:11:34. > :11:39.tomorrow morning. Asil Nadir faces a maximum of up to seven years in
:11:39. > :11:45.relation to each of those 10 counts in which he has been found guilty.
:11:45. > :11:48.It looks as if he will be receiving a prison sentence in double figures.
:11:48. > :11:53.A five-year-old British girl and her grandfather who drowned off the
:11:53. > :11:57.coast of Portugal have been named as Lara Louis and Brian O'Dwyer.
:11:57. > :12:07.They were swept into the sea by powerful waves after going fought a
:12:07. > :12:12.walk along the beach in Nazare. At Salgado beach today a red flag
:12:12. > :12:16.warning of the state of the sea. It is on the speech in the Portuguese
:12:16. > :12:22.resort of Nazare that a British girl and her grandfather lost their
:12:22. > :12:26.lives. Five year-old Lara Lewis was on holiday with her family. It is
:12:26. > :12:30.thought while her parents stayed on the beach she went for a stroll
:12:30. > :12:37.with her grandparents. It seems all three were dragged into the sea by
:12:37. > :12:43.a wave. They were spotted by two fishermen. Whilst they were able to
:12:43. > :12:46.rescue Mrs O'Dwyer, Lara and her grandfather died. The commander of
:12:46. > :12:51.the port authority said emergency services try for an hour to
:12:51. > :12:56.resuscitate Lara, but were unable to save her. There were no
:12:56. > :13:01.eyewitnesses. Nazare lies on Portugal's Atlantic coast about 60
:13:01. > :13:06.miles north of Lisbon. As well as attracting holidaymakers to its
:13:06. > :13:10.sandy beaches, the area is also popular with surfers. These
:13:10. > :13:16.pictures taken last year showed just how big the waves can be
:13:16. > :13:19.further offshore. But the shore line itself can be check first as
:13:19. > :13:26.well. Maritime authorities say the part of the Beach weather has
:13:26. > :13:31.happened is known to be a hazardous. Whilst there were lifeguards on
:13:31. > :13:35.duty further along the shore, there were none where the accident
:13:35. > :13:43.happened. Members of the family in east London have spoken of their
:13:43. > :13:47.shock and say she was a happy girl, full of life and always smiling.
:13:47. > :13:52.The Greek prime minister, Antonis Samaras, has called for more time
:13:52. > :13:56.to make tough, political reforms ahead of crucial talks on his
:13:56. > :14:00.country's financial bail-out. As he struggled to keep the country
:14:00. > :14:04.inside the euro-zone, he has pleaded for a breathing space.
:14:04. > :14:12.Today he is meeting the head of the group of the euro-zone finance
:14:12. > :14:16.ministers. Our correspondent reports from Athens.
:14:16. > :14:21.He took on perhaps the most an enviable job in European politics
:14:21. > :14:26.and now comes the biggest test yet for the Greek Prime Minister. Can
:14:26. > :14:33.Antonis Samaras secure his country's bail-out lifeline whilst
:14:33. > :14:40.also winning more time to reform? Talks begin today in Athens.
:14:40. > :14:45.Antonis Samaras will out loud a further 11.5 billion euros of cuts,
:14:45. > :14:51.hoping it will secure the next size of the country's lone, but he will
:14:51. > :14:56.also request another two used to cut Greece's deficit. In an
:14:56. > :15:01.interview with a German newspaper he laid out his position. Let me be
:15:01. > :15:06.very explicit, we demand no additional money, all we want is a
:15:06. > :15:13.bit of air to breathe, to get the economy running. More time does not
:15:13. > :15:17.automatically mean more money. Greece's social fabric is fraying.
:15:17. > :15:23.Record unemployment, businesses closing and a third of Greeks are
:15:23. > :15:27.below the poverty line. This nation cannot take much more. Later in the
:15:27. > :15:32.week, the focus moves to Germany and France where discussions
:15:32. > :15:36.continue. Their leaders are tiring of Greek delays, but they also want
:15:36. > :15:46.to keep the pro-bail-out Government in power and may finally give
:15:46. > :15:48.
:15:48. > :15:55.It sounds as if some flexibility is possible from the German side. They
:15:55. > :16:00.will be allowed to make up for the last time in Duke of the elections.
:16:00. > :16:07.Failure to win concessions would mean more protests. Violent social
:16:07. > :16:12.unrest can make an already tested government yet more fragile.
:16:12. > :16:18.Europe's patience with Greece is wearing thin. Antonis Samaras faces
:16:18. > :16:25.a daunting challenge. This troubled Prime Minister must also start to
:16:25. > :16:29.heal his broken country. Hugh Pym is here. We have sat here before

:16:46. > :16:50.sense the clock is now ticking? lenders, the European Commission
:16:50. > :16:56.and the IMF and so on, have to be sure that Greece will keep its side
:16:56. > :17:00.of the bargain. They go in and looked at the books, to work out
:17:00. > :17:07.whether Greece is pursuing the deficit reduction plan and spending
:17:07. > :17:11.cuts and so on. They decide if the money can be handed over. There is
:17:11. > :17:19.so much at stake. The Prime Minister needs to balance up the
:17:19. > :17:23.anger in his own country about this austerity. Unemployment is at 25%.
:17:23. > :17:28.If he plays hardball, lenders could say they will not give any more
:17:28. > :17:34.money and Greece ends up with the default and has to leave the
:17:34. > :17:38.eurozone. There is a lot at stake. Who will blink first? I suspect
:17:38. > :17:43.that the leadership will have enough on their plates with Spain

:24:29. > :24:34.Northern Ireland say no. They claim it is a way of making the most of a
:24:34. > :24:39.doctor's time and even some of the medical sceptics have been won over.
:24:39. > :24:46.When I heard first I had reservations. Having seen it in

:24:49. > :24:57.But what has been the reaction from patients about having to deal with
:24:57. > :24:59.a medical machine that looks more like a Dalek than a doctor? There
:24:59. > :25:03.are over 600 of these around the world. People have accepted them

:26:06. > :26:11.whose rocks will be studied over the next two years. I can barely
:26:11. > :26:16.control myself. I have been waiting eight years for this thing to be
:26:16. > :26:21.ready. We are about to move. Eventually we will be able to go
:26:21. > :26:27.maybe 100 metres every day. There will always been used things every
:26:27. > :26:35.time we stop the Rover and look around. Apart from eight damaged
:26:35. > :26:40.censor, all systems are working well. Soon, the science will begin.
:26:40. > :26:47.Back on Earth, a job that requires big scare us, a long measuring tape
:26:47. > :26:55.and a lot of nerve. At London Zoo, they are measuring the animals -
:26:55. > :26:59.every single one. I am at the meerkat Enclosure. They are all
:26:59. > :27:04.looking rather stout. They have just been weighed and have no doubt
:27:04. > :27:09.passed with flying colours. They have been running around. Not
:27:09. > :27:14.everyone has been watching their weight over the summer. From
:27:14. > :27:20.recording the height of giraffes to measuring creepy-crawlies, it is a
:27:20. > :27:25.busy day at London Zoo, as 16,000 animals, birds and birds have their
:27:26. > :27:32.vital statistics taken. It is important we get the data standards
:27:32. > :27:36.so we know how taught a Gerard should be at seven years old, how
:27:36. > :27:41.heavy a Penguin should be. We need to share that data with colleagues
:27:41. > :27:49.around the world so we can keep the animals in the very best of health.
:27:49. > :27:55.Some had to be tempted on to the scales. Others were more willing to
:27:55. > :28:04.be weighed. Pickle is the lightest Penguin at just three kilograms -
:28:04. > :28:13.around three bags of sugar. Sadly, it was not such good news for one
:28:13. > :28:18.gorilla. And she weighs more than the halt Olivier family. She could
:28:18. > :28:24.do with some exercise. Get inspired by the Olympics. Gathering this
:28:24. > :28:29.data can be slow work, especially when you have a giant tortoise to
:28:29. > :28:35.contend with. It is vital it is shared with zoos around the world
:28:35. > :28:41.to keep every species in top condition. The tortoise was

:29:31. > :29:38.scattering of showers - heavy in the north. Fighter showers further
:29:39. > :29:43.south. A better chance of seeing drier weather. Further north, the
:29:43. > :29:49.mid- to high teens. Many of the showers will fade away during the
:29:49. > :29:55.night. There will be some patchy cloud and clear spells. At 8
:29:55. > :30:03.o'clock in the morning, at some breaks in the cloud for eastern

:30:13. > :30:19.temperatures around 15, 16 degrees. We might see the odd light shower
:30:19. > :30:27.at times. We have cloud and a bit of brightness first thing in the
:30:27. > :30:32.morning. In Wales, may be some showery outbreaks. We will see
:30:32. > :30:38.patchy light rain in Northern Ireland but later in the day the
:30:38. > :30:43.rain will arrive. Signs of things to come. The best chance of seeing
