:01:38. > :01:41.well. Everyone knew she was suffering, but they did not know how
:01:42. > :01:48.ill she was. She could not dat on the day. The drugs were not working.
:01:49. > :01:54.However, it was a beautiful day Tracy was a high`flyer, a sdnior
:01:55. > :01:59.manager with the bank. When she found her cancer was termin`l, she
:02:00. > :02:09.wanted to find out about assisted dying. She said she wanted to
:02:10. > :02:13.control how and when she didd. Eventually, one we talked about it,
:02:14. > :02:22.she said she did not fear ddath just how she might die. Tracy's
:02:23. > :02:30.condition deteriorated before arrangements could be made. Steve
:02:31. > :02:37.said it is not her only regret. She said that she had a wonderftl life,
:02:38. > :02:42.but she really wanted to did because she could not stand it any lore She
:02:43. > :02:48.said she was ready to go and I knew that she wanted to die and H could
:02:49. > :02:53.easily have put an end to it and nobody would have known, but I could
:02:54. > :02:58.not do it. I could not wait the lawn, and that is another thing I
:02:59. > :03:03.regret. He believes the timd has come for a change in the law. Nobody
:03:04. > :03:10.should suffer like my wife suffered. Nobody should be denied the right.
:03:11. > :03:15.You can choose where you marry, where you work, whether you have
:03:16. > :03:20.children, what car you dry, where you go on holiday, but when it comes
:03:21. > :03:25.to death, you are denied th`t right to self`determination and there is
:03:26. > :03:31.no logic to that argument. Steve is now trying to rebuild a lifd without
:03:32. > :03:36.Tracey. He is determined her memory will live on. He says he will

:07:58. > :08:04.these people were certainly impressed. I never knew you could

:08:11. > :08:17.benefits in terms of ringing people together. You come down herd and you

:09:32. > :09:42.The eldest granddaughter is 21 and the youngest one is 18 and they have
:09:43. > :09:45.outgrown its a little bit. The memories are obviously when the
:09:46. > :09:47.children were small and plaxing in there. They had so much fun. They
:09:48. > :09:50.would have went over as well. I'll have the headlines at 8pm

:10:43. > :10:44.witnesses after two unprovoked attacks on women in Portsmotth. Last
:10:45. > :10:47.Sunday, a 45`year`old woman was stabbed in the chest as she walked

:11:02. > :11:03.launching in Bournemouth. Backed by the council, drivdrs
:11:04. > :11:06.hire a vehicle by the hour or day. The aim ` to cut congestion
:11:07. > :11:09.and improve the environment. It's for people who need
:11:10. > :11:11.a car only occasionally, or two`car families who want to get
:11:12. > :11:15.rid of the second car. But similar schemes have fahled
:11:16. > :11:18.and the AA says it only makds sense for a small number
:11:19. > :11:20.of very low`mileage drivers. Our Transport Correspondent Paul
:11:21. > :11:31.Clifton reports. I book the car online
:11:32. > :11:35.and simply walk to the car park Then I use this smartcard
:11:36. > :11:37.to swipe the windscreen. There are eight of these
:11:38. > :11:45.in marked bays around the town. I don't need a vehicle myself,
:11:46. > :11:54.so I tend to rely on buses, But for doing the big shop
:11:55. > :11:57.on a weekly or monthly basis, it's more practical for me to hire
:11:58. > :12:06.one of these cars than go bx bus. It is supported
:12:07. > :12:11.by the local council. We have supported the setup
:12:12. > :12:14.of the scheme and then it is So, we have been the catalyst to
:12:15. > :12:22.get it going in Bournemouth. It costs ?3.75 per hour,
:12:23. > :12:27.plus 13p per mile. You can book
:12:28. > :12:29.for half an hour or 10 days. Target users are small businesses,
:12:30. > :12:32.local residents who either do not have a car or would
:12:33. > :12:36.like to be getting rid of a car Or, perhaps a one`car familx

:13:12. > :13:19.a bright future. I think car clubs may be expensive
:13:20. > :13:21.for some people because if you do high mileage,
:13:22. > :13:24.the charges made up quickly. It works alright for some,
:13:25. > :13:31.but probably a minority. Car club vehicles are usually small,
:13:32. > :13:33.not much use for collecting furniture from a DIY store or taking
:13:34. > :13:36.holiday luggage to the airport. The AA says it may make sense

:20:23. > :20:24.Portsmouth were still concentrating pretty hard today on their lessons
:20:25. > :20:28.today. And no, it wasn't Maths or English that the students at
:20:29. > :20:30.Mayville High School were working on but flying lessons ` and flxing
:20:31. > :20:33.lessons, where students need to think happy thoughts to hit the
:20:34. > :20:37.heights. It all adds up to ` very special theatrical experience which
:20:38. > :20:39.is unfolding at the King's Theatre in Southsea. Georgina Windsor has
:20:40. > :21:05.been along to watch. Do not be such... Yes,
:21:06. > :21:08.no ordinary school production. They have swapped their school h`ll with
:21:09. > :21:14.a capacity for 114 for the Kings Theatre in Southsea with a capacity
:21:15. > :21:18.of 1400. The omission does not stop there, with a Budget of just over
:21:19. > :21:25.?10,000, they have decided to make sure that the Japan can acttally
:21:26. > :21:28.fly. The school brought in ` professional flying company to allow
:21:29. > :21:34.these children to take flight for the school play. First, the teachers
:21:35. > :21:38.are put through their paces, learning to fly the children across
:21:39. > :21:43.the stage. There are so manx markers you need to look out for and make
:21:44. > :21:48.sure everything is just right. Quite terrifying, but I am sure bx the end
:21:49. > :21:51.of the day we will have it sorted. Across portions, 300 childrdn will
:21:52. > :21:58.perform on this impressive stage full stop eight of those will learn
:21:59. > :22:07.to fly. I am really excited about flying. It is going to feel magical
:22:08. > :22:13.because not every child gets to fly on a harness. It is nerve wracking
:22:14. > :22:20.because maybe our teachers `ren t so good at flying, but I can only
:22:21. > :22:24.hope! When the harness first goes on and you get a feeling of excitement
:22:25. > :22:28.and adrenaline going through you. You're going to fly or the first
:22:29. > :22:35.time, it is amazing! Then when the lift you up for preparation, you get
:22:36. > :22:41.the feeling of, this is going to happen. This is good! For m`ny
:22:42. > :22:45.children at this school, thhs is a once in a lifetime experience, as
:22:46. > :22:50.the school only put on prodtctions on this scale once every five years.
:22:51. > :23:00.But the sky is the limit for them now!
:23:01. > :23:09.They were brilliant, considdring they have not flown before. That
:23:10. > :23:19.show is on this week. Break a leg! Well, don't. But you know what we're
:23:20. > :23:22.talking about. Onto the weather .. I was driving through Dorset this
