Good evening. Hillsborough Castle. | :00:12. | :00:12. | |
The family of the late Tony Nicklinson from Wiltshhre say | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
they're disappointed after failing to secure | :00:16. | :00:16. | |
a change in the law on assisted suichde. | :00:17. | :00:22. | |
The UK Supreme Court dismissed an appeal that a doctor shotld be | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
allowed to help someone end their life without being prosecutdd. | :00:26. | :00:27. | |
But the judges did say that Parliament | :00:28. | :00:29. | |
They hoped this would be thd day the law changed. | :00:30. | :00:38. | |
Jane Nicklinson and her daughter Lauren arrived to hear the highest | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
court in the land pass judgdment on Tony Nicklinson's wish. | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
He was unable to take his own life but said the f`ct that | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
no one was allowed to help him was against his human rights. | :00:49. | :00:54. | |
Nine judges spent six months deliberating. | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
They decided by a 7`2 majorhty to refuse the appeal. | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
By a majority of seven to two, we dismiss the appeal. | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
Disappointed at the result, Tony's family said it was still progress. | :01:08. | :01:14. | |
Dad would have been able to recognise what a huge deal this is. | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
To come to the Supreme Court and be given | :01:20. | :01:21. | |
Tony Nicklinson had a strokd in 2005 which left him | :01:22. | :01:28. | |
Some days this life gets too much for me and I break down and cry | :01:29. | :01:40. | |
If a doctor assisted his suhcide though, they'd face a murder charge. | :01:41. | :01:48. | |
The dismissal of his first appeal two years ago | :01:49. | :01:50. | |
by the High Court was devastating for Tony. | :01:51. | :01:52. | |
He began refusing food and died shortly afterwards. | :01:53. | :01:59. | |
His wife Jane continued the legal action, | :02:00. | :02:01. | |
along with another disabled man, Paul Lamb. | :02:02. | :02:02. | |
You should be able to do with it as you please. | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
The fact that Tony and Paul are so disabled that they cannot do | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
that, I just cannot underst`nd why people can't say that is not right. | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
And the Supreme Court has s`id that Parliament must make the decision. | :02:15. | :02:39. | |
Opponents of assisted suicide say the | :02:40. | :02:40. | |
vulnerable could be pressurdd into taking their own lives prem`turely. | :02:41. | :02:48. | |
Law exists in civilised societies to protect lives dqually. | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
In a successful assisted suhcide, the key person we would want to | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
The Nicklinsons could appeal to the European Court | :02:56. | :03:02. | |
but say they want to study this judgement first. | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
Parliament may yet give thel the change in the law they narrowly | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
A group of travellers who h`d set up camp | :03:10. | :03:19. | |
on a park and ride in Taunton have left. | :03:20. | :03:21. | |
The site was closed after 30 travellers arrived yesterdax. | :03:22. | :03:23. | |
But they left this evening `t around eight o'clock. | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
Somerset County Council says the Gateway park and ride | :03:29. | :03:30. | |
will be open again as normal tomorrow morning. | :03:31. | :03:40. | |
There's concern tonight over the future | :03:41. | :03:42. | |
of a piece of Banksy street art in Cheltenham. | :03:43. | :03:44. | |
Scaffolding has gone up arotnd the "Spy Booth" | :03:45. | :03:46. | |
which the artist recently confirmed he'd painted | :03:47. | :03:47. | |
The borough council says it believes work is being done | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
by the landlord to repair d`ngerous broken render on the house. | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
But local artists are more sceptical. | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
this they say that Cheltenh`m would miss the painting if it was removed. | :04:00. | :04:08. | |
I would be gutted, personally. It was great for the town, for the | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
people of the town. People came from all over the world to see it. We | :04:12. | :04:19. | |
hope to get it to be preserved. We can have had permission to cover it | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
The company involved says it was just asked to provide scaffolding. | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
The BBC has, so far, been unable to contact the landlord. | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
Thousands of festival`goers have descdnded | :04:32. | :04:32. | |
on Glastonbury, after the g`tes opened to the public this morning. | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
The music doesn't start in earnest until Friday. | :04:36. | :04:37. | |
But, as Andrew Plant reports, many people are keen to get | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
Long before the gates even opened, for hundreds, the festival had | :04:42. | :04:54. | |
already started, with Tuesd`y night spent standing outside. | :04:55. | :04:56. | |
With few choosing to travel light these days... | :04:57. | :05:14. | |
Wheelbarrows, toboggans and wheelie bins all employdd. | :05:15. | :05:21. | |
Although this is very much `n international festival, manx in the | :05:22. | :05:23. | |
It brings a lot into the colmunity and we get to come and enjox it and | :05:24. | :05:30. | |
They've changed the toilets this year, which is quite interesting. | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
I thought they would get rid of the long drops! | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
Actually, the long drops ard surprisingly popular still. | :05:38. | :05:39. | |
Lots of people will have forgotten something but luckily everything is | :05:40. | :06:04. | |
available here. It is a pop`up city the size of half, and soon 075, 00 | :06:05. | :06:22. | |
