:00:00.:00:07.

But we'll also hear from thd campaigner who says a changd in the

law could mean people are coerced into taking their own lives.

Replacing a bionic hand law could mean people are coerced

Replacing a bionic hand with the real thing ` surgeons in Leeds

prepare for the country's fhrst`ever double hand transplant.

:00:41.:00:47.

It is ten days to go and told the Tour de France, will it be `nother

:00:48.:00:56.

record breaker? I will also have the latest for the weather.

:00:57.:01:06.

A former builder from Leeds, who today lost his fight to change

:01:07.:01:10.

the law on assisted suicide, says the decision is cruel and b`rbaric.

:01:11.:01:13.

Paul Lamb was paralysed in a car crash 14 years ago

:01:14.:01:17.

He wanted doctors to be allowed to help him end his life.

:01:18.:01:23.

But although the Supreme Court ruled agahnst him,

:01:24.:01:25.

it did urge Parliament to examine the law, as Spencer Stokes reports.

:01:26.:01:29.

Should a doctor be allowed to help Paul Lamb take his own life

:01:30.:01:32.

24 years ago, the former buhlder was paralysed from the neck down.

:01:33.:01:38.

He fears that a day will cole when his life is longer worth living

:01:39.:01:43.

Since last June he has been fighting a legal battle to have the ban on

:01:44.:01:47.

The Supreme Court began hearing the case last December and today

:01:48.:01:53.

I do not deserve to be punished like this.

:01:54.:02:08.

I am now at the stage where there is anger with me because it is

:02:09.:02:12.

But many doctors are extremdly uneasy about any change to

:02:13.:02:16.

the assisted suicide law and they have welcomed the ruling today.

:02:17.:02:25.

The Supreme Court have made the correct decision and that is in line

:02:26.:02:31.

with previous legal decisions. It is clearly a difficult and emotive area

:02:32.:02:35.

and ethical importance, but ultimately it is a decision for

:02:36.:02:40.

Parliament to make if they `re going to make any changes to the law. It

:02:41.:02:45.

would seem this will be a m`tter for the MPs to decide rather th`n the

:02:46.:02:49.

judges with the Supreme Court saying they want to give Parliament the

:02:50.:02:52.

opportunity to consider the position. The list `` the hhghest

:02:53.:02:58.

court in the country thinks it is time for MPs to make this ddcision

:02:59.:03:03.

on the right`to`die. Parlialent has been charged with grappling this

:03:04.:03:07.

issue, taking the evidence `nd considering the issue. The Supreme

:03:08.:03:12.

Court has finally said that if Parliament does not grapple with

:03:13.:03:17.

this issue, we will consider making a declaration of incompatibhlity the

:03:18.:03:22.

next time around. This country has gone back to being a barbarhc, or

:03:23.:03:27.

Barrick and cruel. Previous court rulings have maintained that

:03:28.:03:33.

assisted suicide is a matter for Parliament but today's Suprdme Court

:03:34.:03:37.

judgement goes further, suggesting that MPs should tackle this thorny

:03:38.:03:42.

issue. Paul Lamb's case had become a matter of political debate.

:03:43.:03:46.

Baroness Grey`Thompson ` a crossbench peer and Paralxmpian `

:03:47.:03:48.

has been campaigning against changing the law.

:03:49.:03:50.

She told us why such a change could put vulnerable people under

:03:51.:03:53.

What our real fear is, if the line in the sand moves, it is a lassive

:03:54.:03:59.

change to the criminal law, then actually people could be codrced,

:04:00.:04:02.

encouraged to think about ` this is their choice, if they are sden as a

:04:03.:04:05.

burden, as they are seen as, you know, costing too much loney.

:04:06.:04:08.

It is difficult to compare to other jurisdictions, but in Washington

:04:09.:04:13.

State where assisted suicidd is legal, 61% of people who have gone

:04:14.:04:16.

for assisted suicide have s`id that they have done it because they are a

:04:17.:04:20.

burden and I do not think that is acceptable.

:04:21.:04:29.

Margaret John joins us from yacht. You suffer from ovarian cancer, you

:04:30.:04:36.

would like the option to take your own life. What are your thotghts on

:04:37.:04:43.

the law at the moment? It does not allow me to freedom to follow my

:04:44.:04:50.

conscience. I would not want to make anyone else do something th`t they

:04:51.:04:55.

did not want to do, but I think it objectionable that I am compelled to

:04:56.:05:00.

go on insisting to take less effective measures if I felt the

:05:01.:05:05.

where necessary. What I want is a full range of options that H can

:05:06.:05:11.

consider when the end of life commons and that is not going to be

:05:12.:05:14.

all that long for me, possibly a few years and I am lucky. Paul Landward

:05:15.:05:20.

weighted to be Beagle for a doctor to help him in his life, is that a

:05:21.:05:24.

step too far? # Paul Lamb. Not for him. Is it too

:05:25.:05:36.

far a step for yourself? I would not say so. Do you have any sympathy for

:05:37.:05:47.

the judgement today? I wish they had come out with a different one! What

:05:48.:05:54.

they have said is that this is an important issue and must be

:05:55.:05:57.

considered by Parliament. Otherwise judges will make a decision on their

:05:58.:06:03.

behalf, you cannot leave people in limbo. I have every sympathx for

:06:04.:06:08.

people who do not want to t`ke that route, but I do not see why they are

:06:09.:06:11.

compelling people like myself to suffer. Is there not to worry that

:06:12.:06:18.

vulnerable people will be, first into taking their rights? `` coerced

:06:19.:06:29.

into taking their own lives? I think that is a red herring that hs

:06:30.:06:34.

continually dragged up to m`ke sure that people do not have to lake a

:06:35.:06:38.

decision. Tanni Grey`Thompson talked about collection, she talked about

:06:39.:06:45.

people being a burden, if I feel that I hung a burden, I will want to

:06:46.:06:51.

go and it is how I feel, not what others feel. It is about having a

:06:52.:06:57.

quality of life? That is thd most important thing. When I can no

:06:58.:07:03.

longer go out under my own steam, go out in my car, go to the cinema

:07:04.:07:13.

that is when I will know it is time. If I cannot get to the theatre, life

:07:14.:07:21.

is not worth living for me. My grandson has said that when I am

:07:22.:07:26.

dead and when they go to Borini I will be knocking on the coffin lid

:07:27.:07:31.

to get out! That remains to be seen. I think it is very patronishng for

:07:32.:07:34.

people to say that I could not make a decision for myself. I do not want

:07:35.:07:40.

to make a decision for other people either. This should not be forcing

:07:41.:07:46.

me to carry on. You would lhke the right to decide for yourself? Yes,

:07:47.:07:48.

absolutely. Thank you. A mother who lost both her hands and

:07:49.:07:58.

feet is in line to be given the UK's first`ever double hand transplant

:07:59.:08:03.

at the Leeds General Infirm`ry. 44`year`old Corinne Hutton,

:08:04.:08:05.

from Scotland, has undergond a raft of tests to ensure she is

:08:06.:08:06.

suitable for the operation which 18 months ago the team in Ldeds

:08:07.:08:10.

successfully carried out thd UK s first`ever hand transplant on

:08:11.:08:13.

a former pub landlord from Halifax. Our health correspondent

:08:14.:08:16.

Jamie Coulson reports. Being fitted with

:08:17.:08:18.

a bionic hand means that Corinne Hutton can perform some

:08:19.:08:20.

basic tasks, but her dream hs to Last year

:08:21.:08:23.

the 44`year`old lost both h`nds and feet when a bad cough ddveloped

:08:24.:08:27.

into pneumonia and blood pohsoning. Now Corinne is hoping to undergo

:08:28.:08:29.

the UK's first`ever double hand I'm excited about the fact that I

:08:30.:08:32.

will wake up in I do not need to zip them

:08:33.:08:40.

on or attach them and they will Hopefully I have a good chance

:08:41.:08:45.

of getting sensation back as quickly as anyone else,

:08:46.:08:49.

after the year, maybe even better. The first person

:08:50.:08:56.

in the UK to have a hand tr`nsplant has said the thing he is looking

:08:57.:08:59.

forward to the most is being able to 18 months ago, a team from the Leeds

:09:00.:09:02.

General Infirmary made medical history when they carried ott the

:09:03.:09:08.

UK's first`ever hand transplant Now the same team will oper`te

:09:12.:09:14.

she has something that is sensitive, warm, looks

like a human hand, is silent, is Bionic prostheses have come on,

:09:21.:09:23.

but they are really Corinne has already undergone months

:09:24.:09:29.

of tests to make sure that she is suitable for the operation `

not only does she need to bd physically able to receive

I can now do things I could not do before ` open doors, fastenhng

:09:50.:09:58.

buttons, opening up bottles. You can feel hot and cold, things

:09:59.:10:00.

like that, I am just looking forward I had been told that it was

:10:01.:10:10.

psychologically tough when you can see your donathon every

:10:11.:10:16.

day, I like to think though, for me, Corinne still has a long wax to

know anyone there. They say that it is in favour of people like me, but

:12:13.:12:18.

I do not agree. Doncaster is just the latest authority to havd to

:12:19.:12:21.

wrestle with questions as to who should bear `` pay for care and who

:12:22.:12:29.

should provide. The meeting became more they did when councillors voted

to close the day care centrds. As for the residential homes, ` charity

in North Yorkshire are still in limbo as they wait to he`r

about the future of the pit. Last week,

:16:51.:16:53.

unions met with the Energy Linister to lobby for state aid to kdep

:16:54.:16:55.

the pit open beyond 2015. UK Coal are pushing for a ddal

which would see the pit closed over But, as Kate Bradbrook reports,

:16:59.:17:01.

it?s not just The closure of Kellingley could

:17:02.:17:04.

affect generations to come. This box may only be 18 years old,

but she has already won thrde national titles. She trains at this

local club in Knottingley. Xou see children around the estate `nd they

are roaming Abbott. If I was not doing boxing, I would probably be on

:17:24.:17:27.

the street. This club has done everything for me. Many young people

:17:28.:17:36.

who come here are from deprhved backgrounds, and the coaching staff

:17:37.:17:45.

are all volunteers. The club stays open because of the low rent charged

:17:46.:17:51.

by the miners welfare, but with the pet June to close next year, it

:17:52.:17:55.

could soon be fighting for survival. If we had to go somewhere else and

:17:56.:18:00.

read the unit for ?120 per week we would have to shut, and that would

:18:01.:18:04.

be sad, because these children have achieved so much. It would be

:18:05.:18:10.

devastating, children of all ages and backgrounds attend this race. If

:18:11.:18:17.

that were to go, a massive part of the Q the would be removed. This

:18:18.:18:22.

club was set up to keep children out of trouble. But it is now inspiring

:18:23.:18:28.

a new generation of young boxers. It is good fun. I get to learn more

:18:29.:18:36.

skills and get on with diffdrent people. The trainers are funny, they

:18:37.:18:48.

are more like your friend than a boss. The club says the stage closer

:18:49.:18:56.

`` closure of the pet has ghven them other facilities, but they `re

:18:57.:18:58.

determined to win this battle. Now, the countdown is well

:18:59.:19:06.

and truly on ` there are ten days to go until the start of the Tour de

:19:07.:19:09.

France right here in Yorkshhre. The race itself has been around

:19:10.:19:12.

for over 100 years, but just in case you've nevdr seen

:19:13.:19:15.

it before, we're bringing you our series of beginners' guhdes to

:19:16.:19:18.

the basics of the Tour de France. Here's our correspondent Matt Slater

:19:19.:19:21.

with a look at the teams The iconic Tour de France ilage The

:19:22.:19:32.

lone hero on top of the world. That was put on's Chris Froome l`st year,

:19:33.:19:38.

the man we hope will join the pantheons of truly great ch`mpions,

:19:39.:19:42.

people like this Spaniard who dominated the race and the 0980s or

:19:43.:19:47.

perhaps even the best of all time, the great Belgian. This is ` history

:19:48.:19:54.

of the Tour de France. It is very compelling but it is not thd whole

:19:55.:20:00.

picture. There are 20 29 man teams. 180 writers in total. But there are

:20:01.:20:06.

only a few contenders for the main jerseys on offer. So what do the

:20:07.:20:18.

other riders do? Every team has a captain, a protective rider, the

:20:19.:20:22.

rest set the pace or carry the water, they can also be mobhle

:20:23.:20:27.

mechanics. Sometimes, they just provide a slipstream. For a lucky

:20:28.:20:33.

few, there is the ultimate bonus of a win in one of the races over the

:20:34.:20:37.

21 stages. This CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

:20:38.:20:41.

Reysol Jebel could boil down to Alberto Contador and Chris Froome

:20:42.:20:45.

again but they will need help from their friends.

:20:46.:20:52.

Meanwhile, residents of the Fox Hill area

:20:53.:20:53.

of Sheffield have won their campaign to keep the roads open for longer

:20:54.:20:57.

when the Tour de France comds to South Yorkshire on Sunday 6th July.

:20:58.:21:00.

Around 2,000 homes will be cut off in the area during the clostres

:21:01.:21:03.

The council had said the roads would shut at 7:30

:21:04.:21:06.

in the morning, nearly seven hours before the pre`race p`rade.

:21:07.:21:11.

But there's been a change of heart and they'll now have access

That French accent sent a shiver down my spine! Both of unions remain

:22:40.:22:42.

Today they have had a test rehearsal, a little bit of ` dry run

:22:43.:22:52.

and this is how they got on. The first bit of Bunting was finally put

:22:53.:22:55.

up at the bottom of England's longest gradient. It was made by the

:22:56.:23:01.

granddaughter of a local cycle shop owner who suddenly died a fdw weeks

:23:02.:23:05.

ago. She had been looking forward to the tour. It is very mixed dmotions.

:23:06.:23:15.
