:00:00.:00:00.

was placed on her records. We are pleased to the outcole and

:00:00.:00:27.

hopefully it'll help other people to get that little bit more care.

Left without a bank ` the march of new technology makes

And a Commonwealth games intern`tional

:00:40.:00:42.

recall as Strictly winner Louis Smith gets back on thd horse.

:00:43.:00:56.

First tonight, High Court jtdges have ruled that staff at

:00:57.:00:59.

Addenbrookes hospital in Calbridge acted unlawfully while caring

:01:00.:01:03.

Janet Tracey was not consulted before a 'do not resuscitatd' order

:01:04.:01:09.

and started a three`year legal battle.

:01:10.:01:24.

In a moment we'll hear from the family of Janet Tracey, but first

:01:25.:01:27.

There's been no criticism of the clinical care given

:01:28.:01:32.

That is right. Janet Tracey was admitted here at a serious car

:01:33.:01:40.

accident. She had advanced lung cancer. What happened has bden the

:01:41.:01:44.

subject of a landmark legal judgment.

:01:45.:01:47.

Janet Tracey was 63 when shd died at Addenbrooke's Hospital.

:01:48.:01:49.

There is no suggestion resuscitation was needed when she died.

:01:50.:01:52.

But her family had complaindd earlier in her care

:01:53.:01:55.

when a 'do not resuscitate' order was placed in her records whthout

:01:56.:01:59.

They took their challenger here to the Court of Appeal.

:02:00.:02:06.

And today three judges ruled that Janet Tracey's rights had bden

:02:07.:02:12.

breached because the duty to consult is integral to

:02:13.:02:15.

The court holds that Articld 8 of the European Convention on Human

:02:16.:02:21.

Rights is engaged by such ddcisions, because they concern how an

:02:22.:02:27.

individual chooses how to spend the closing days and moments of their

:02:28.:02:31.

Today's judgment has implic`tions far beyond the Tracey familx.

:02:32.:02:36.

It means that all NHS trusts have a legal duty to consult and inform

:02:37.:02:41.

patients or families about decisions on whether to resuscitate,

:02:42.:02:46.

unless it is likely to causd physical or psychological h`rm.

:02:47.:02:50.

This brings clarity to an area where there has been mixed

:02:51.:02:56.

Each NHS trust has its own policy, but the court has said

:02:57.:03:03.

in this judgment that all NHS trusts must take note

:03:04.:03:06.

Addenbrooke's Hospital say today's ruling hinges on a specific point

:03:07.:03:10.

There was no criticism of our clinical care

:03:11.:03:14.

and the most important thing is that these patients are treated with

:03:15.:03:19.

Today the Court of Appeal also found that no new national guidelhnes in

:03:20.:03:26.

I was in court to hear the ruling and afterwards I spoke to J`net

:03:27.:03:44.

Tracey's husband and her two daughters to get their reaction

:03:45.:03:47.

And hopefully it'll help other people who go into hospital to get

:03:48.:03:51.

that little bit more care and communication , which is vital.

:03:52.:03:56.

And it has been a very long road to get here, three years.

:03:57.:03:59.

It is always there, it is always on your mind.

:04:00.:04:10.

It has been a long three ye`rs and there was no question

:04:11.:04:13.

in the light of losing my mtm that if we had the opportunity,

:04:14.:04:18.

we would do everything we could to try and change things for others.

:04:19.:04:21.

The court today decided that no new national guidelines were necessary.

:04:22.:04:25.

A little disappointing , but hopefully the decision alond that

:04:26.:04:32.

my mum's rights were breachdd will be enough for doctors to re`lise

:04:33.:04:37.

that just because a discusshon is distressing , it is not enotgh not

:04:38.:04:40.

What do you think would havd been her reaction to what happendd

:04:41.:04:48.

I think mum would have been horrified if anything happened to

:04:49.:04:54.

her residence, like what happened to her in hospital,

:04:55.:04:58.

and I think she would be absolutely delighted with the outcome today.

:04:59.:05:05.

She would be very proud of ly dad and he has done a great thing.

:05:06.:05:17.

A very dignified family and they told me that today will help them

:05:18.:05:22.

with the healing process so they can begin to look to the future.

:05:23.:05:26.

Professor Gurch Randhawa from the University of Bedfordshire

:05:27.:05:28.

has just completed a four`ydar study into end of life care.

:05:29.:05:32.

In this country we are not tsed to talking about death or end of life,

:05:33.:05:49.

so we have to talk openly about the fact we have to plan the end of life

:05:50.:05:54.

care. We have to think about our treatment options so when that staff

:05:55.:06:00.

are trained to talk about it, patients and their families don t

:06:01.:06:07.

becomes surprise or defensive. Has there been a lack of training for

:06:08.:06:14.

staff? In this country therd has been a lack of attention to end of

:06:15.:06:20.

life care and part and parcdl of that is about training staff and

:06:21.:06:24.

about also educating the public and planning for end of life care and

:06:25.:06:32.

that is important. What happened in this case? Is that going on in

:06:33.:06:37.

hospitals around the countrx or is it isolated? There is variation

:06:38.:06:43.

across the country, so in some parts of the NHS there are open, `ctive

:06:44.:06:50.

unification with family, with patient and NHS staff. In other

:06:51.:06:55.

parts, that doesn't take pl`ce and what we want is consistency.

:06:56.:07:01.

Actually today the judges stepped back from saying what we should have

:07:02.:07:07.

is a national guidance on that. Do you think that was the wrong thing?

:07:08.:07:14.

I think the difficulty with national guidelines is that sometimes they

:07:15.:07:19.

become too rigid. Flexibility is key, so we need communication and

:07:20.:07:24.

approaches that are tailored to each individual family. What we `lso need

:07:25.:07:31.

at the same time is for sochety as a whole to be talking about ddath and

:07:32.:07:35.

planning for end of life so they are prepared for those conversations

:07:36.:07:39.

when the time is appropriatd. Thank you very much.

:07:40.:07:46.

A man has been found guilty of killing two`year`old Amina @gboola,

:07:47.:07:50.

kicking her so hard the little girl's liver was split in two.

:07:51.:07:52.

Today her mother's boyfriend, 19`year`old Dean Harris,

:07:53.:07:54.

Sarah Racqueman from Yaxley in Peterborough was cleared of causing

:07:55.:07:59.

Amina Agboola, the little ghrl whose life was cut short with a shngle

:08:00.:08:15.

cake from her mother's boyfriend, Dean Harris. `` kick. When she was

:08:16.:08:25.

found dying they described her as resembling a ripe Dahl. Inshde the

:08:26.:08:31.

house, Dean Harris lost his temper after the little girl soiled herself

:08:32.:08:36.

and wet the sober. He admitted manslaughter but denied murder. His

:08:37.:08:43.

defence was rejected. He kicked with such force she flew six feet across

:08:44.:08:49.

the room. Her injuries were described by the pathologist as some

:08:50.:08:54.

of the worst he has ever sedn. Dean Harris intended to hurt her and she

:08:55.:09:00.

died as a result. Her mother was found not guilty of causing or

:09:01.:09:03.

allowing the death of her d`ughter. The court heard social workdrs had

:09:04.:09:08.

warned her not to leave her alone with her boyfriend. His previous

:09:09.:09:12.

partner had complained of domestic violence. Prosecutors said he was in

:09:13.:09:19.

such a rage when Amina Agboola. Dean Harris showed no emotion as he the

:09:20.:09:25.

jurors found him guilty of lurdering Amina Agboola. A short time later he

:09:26.:09:29.

was led away. He'll be sentdnced at a later date. Amina Agboola live was

:09:30.:09:38.

cut into junior tackle. Dean Harris lied to the police saying she had

:09:39.:09:43.

fallen off the toilet. He s`id he only wished he could take all this

:09:44.:09:48.

back. Social services say they will comment at a serious case rdview of

:09:49.:09:50.

the death. Plans for a new junction on the A14

:09:51.:09:54.

at Kettering have been given a But they've stopped short

:09:55.:09:57.

of pledging immediate cash. The town's MP believes the new

:09:58.:10:02.

juntion would unlock investlent worth more than ?1 billion, allowing

:10:03.:10:06.

a 5000 home development to go ahead. The government has rejected calls to

:10:07.:10:09.

provide cash for a new junction to If we're going to build the houses

:10:10.:10:12.

the country needs, you need to help us build that infrastrtcture

:10:13.:10:18.

that the county needs. That was Philip Hollobone's

:10:19.:10:20.

message to government. At the moment it is a blob on the

:10:21.:10:32.

map, but it is a junction that the people of capturing need in the town

:10:33.:10:37.

isn't going to grind to a h`lt. And that fear

:10:38.:10:40.

of gridlock is a real one. 5500 homes will be built here to

:10:41.:10:43.

the east of Kettering. And those plans

:10:44.:10:45.

for self sufficiency also include a solar farm and a biomas gendrator,

:10:46.:10:48.

and then here is the small latter All of which will generate dven more

:10:49.:10:51.

traffic, adding weight to It is the right thing to do. It will

:10:52.:11:23.

move the traffic further along A14, which will be good. I think that

:11:24.:11:29.

links the Kettering will be fine. The government has agreed to

:11:30.:11:34.

a new junction in principle, Any proposals need to be able to

:11:35.:11:47.

demonstrate a strong business case and secure third`party contributions

:11:48.:11:51.

until government can take p`rt. But it's claimed this juncthon

:11:52.:11:53.

does have a strong business case. For just ?39 million, the local

:11:54.:11:56.

council claims it would delhver over The fight

:11:57.:11:59.

for the Junction 10a goes on. Well,

:12:00.:12:10.

joining me now is our Polithcal Andrew, I guess the questions

:12:11.:12:11.

are will the government stulp These debates aren't really about

:12:12.:12:25.

big announcements. They are a chance of MPs raise issues which are close

:12:26.:12:29.

to their hearts and hope th`t the Minister and his civil serv`nts will

:12:30.:12:35.

remember it. These debates `re very important because they give us a

:12:36.:12:40.

chance to get an idea of wh`t the Minister is thinking, and hd said a

:12:41.:12:44.

lot of positive things on this junction. He said he apprechated the

:12:45.:12:48.

importance of this scheme. He talked about building good roads for the

:12:49.:12:52.

economy. He said he wanted to build roads which would unlock hotsing

:12:53.:12:58.

schemes, so this junction t`kes all those boxes. I came away with the

:12:59.:13:01.

impression this scheme is vdry slowly moving up the less. Ht

:13:02.:13:06.

wouldn't surprise me if we see the scheme mentioned in the Auttmn

:13:07.:13:08.

Statement which the Chancellor delivers later this year. There is

:13:09.:13:13.

an election next year as evdrything could change, and where budget

:13:14.:13:18.

already allocated it to be 45 before anything happens.

:13:19.:13:23.

A teenager is recovering in hospital after a gang of youths

:13:24.:13:26.

The 16`year`old was walking with his father in the Marsh Farl area

:13:27.:13:30.

of Luton on Friday night when they were approached.

:13:31.:13:32.

The boy's mother is appealing for help in finding the offdnders.

:13:33.:13:35.

On their way back from buying sweets.

:13:36.:13:37.

CCTV footage shows the teen`ger and his father being approached

:13:38.:13:42.

One brutally attacks the box with a sword, before they all run off.

:13:43.:13:49.

But the teenager's mother, who lives nearby and rushed to help,

:13:50.:13:55.

I saw 15 people come running. My son said they had come back, do

:13:56.:14:11.

something. I said leave my son alone. They ran off into thd night.

:14:12.:14:15.

The attack happened near Hickman Court in Waulads Bank Drive

:14:16.:14:17.

The boy needed surgery on his leg but is recovering.

:14:18.:14:25.

This is a concern for the police. Are you worried this could happen

:14:26.:14:35.

again? Of course we are. Thdy could do it again. Let's catch thdse

:14:36.:14:41.

people and put them where they deserved to be, in prison.

:14:42.:14:43.

The offenders were a mixturd of black and mixed race men wearing

:14:44.:14:46.

Police says it's likely thex will have bragged about the attack

:14:47.:14:50.

and are appealing for anyond with information to come forward.

part of the Barclays Empire. more than 200 years

a strong feeling of people being It is an asset to the village,

:16:50.:16:56.

but if it goes, I think a lot of people will change

:16:57.:17:07.

their banks to somewhere else. It is regrettable that

:17:08.:17:10.

it is going to shut. It is a great little bank,

great staff that provides a service to the community, and I don't know

everything comes out direct debit, you use your card with chip

and pin at the shops, Not everybody has got the Internet,

:18:14.:18:18.

have they? I think in relation to banks

:18:19.:18:25.

closing, it is important to people that they can deal with

:18:26.:18:38.

their own money and pay thehr own bills, and this is important

I was a little sceptical whdn he announces comeback, but Louhs Smith

:19:44.:19:48.

is unique, and he made it b`ck to the main stage.

:19:49.:19:52.

He's one of the world's best operators on the pommel horse. First

:19:53.:19:58.

things first, return to Comlonwealth competition after winning gold in

:19:59.:20:05.

Melbourne. I have been training to 12 xears,

:20:06.:20:08.

and to come away with the gold medal on the pommel horse is a grdat

:20:09.:20:12.

achievement. His achievements in the gym and on

:20:13.:20:14.

the dance floor made me household name. But he has told his agent to

cancel the bookings. It is `ll systems go for Glasgow. Yaz competed

intriguing battles at the Commonwealth Games is England versus

Scotland, Lewis against Dan. You guys are very supportive, does that

:20:35.:20:39.

change, Commonwealth Games? We want to see everyone do well but

:20:40.:20:43.

obviously there is a little bit of banter starting. Scotland h`s never

:20:44.:20:48.

got a team medal before, so hopefully we can go there and get a

:20:49.:20:51.

medal. Louis Smith will have to do it

:20:52.:20:55.

without his long`term coach in his corner. He's going all out for gold

:20:56.:21:04.

in Glasgow. I managed to speak to Louis earlier

:21:05.:21:07.

during a break in training. And,

:21:08.:21:10.

given the uncertainty surrotnding his selection, I asked him hf he was

:21:11.:21:11.

relieved, or just raring to go. I've got a lot of feelings. I'm

:21:12.:21:23.

relieved, anxious. I am verx happy with myself, because it was a very

:21:24.:21:28.

hard task to get from where I was in December last year to where I am

:21:29.:21:33.

now. It has been a tough jotrney, a lot of hours and a lot of sweat and

:21:34.:21:38.

training in the gym. But I'l very relieved to be where I am rhght

:21:39.:21:42.

now. Back in December, what was ht that

:21:43.:21:46.

made you decide to go back hnto competition? And you miss

:21:47.:21:49.

competing? I miss being able to do somd of the

:21:50.:21:55.

skills I could do. I felt I was slowly not being an athlete any

:21:56.:22:00.

more. I felt I was turning normal. If you have been athlete for so

:22:01.:22:04.

long, that feels alien. But I was commentating at the championships

:22:05.:22:08.

couple of months beforehand and seeing my friends and other people

:22:09.:22:11.

competing, people I felt I could still beat, and it gave me ` kick to

:22:12.:22:16.

think, don't waste what you have got. In ten years when you look

:22:17.:22:21.

back, what if you are seeing what is?

:22:22.:22:26.

I know you are disappointed not to be selected for the European

:22:27.:22:28.

Championships, and he said `t the time you thought it was a political

:22:29.:22:31.

decision. How do you feel about that now?

:22:32.:22:35.

I have still offering the s`me for the team as I was for the Etropean

:22:36.:22:38.

team, who knows why I was not picked? But I'm here, I havd

:22:39.:22:44.

qualified for the Commonwealth Games, I have had great support from

:22:45.:22:50.

physiotherapists coming in free of charge, my coach dedicating a lot of

:22:51.:22:53.

time, and it is starting to pay off, so I am very pleased.

:22:54.:22:58.

Focus was always the Commonwealth Games, and you have been selected.

:22:59.:23:02.

You did say that would be your last hurrah. Make you change your mind on

:23:03.:23:08.

that? I'm not sure. I'm not sure now.

:23:09.:23:18.

Ya got the bug again? I have got the bug again. It has

:23:19.:23:22.

opened my eyes to see that H still have a lot more in the tank. 20 5, I

:23:23.:23:27.

will be pushing for European Championships, the world
