A Merseyside police officer whose wife won a legal battle to allow him | :00:00. | :00:20. | |
to die has passed away peacefully at a hospice in Wirral. | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
PC Paul Briggs had suffered severe brain injuries in a motorbike | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
crash on his way to work, leaving him in a minimally | :00:27. | :00:28. | |
PC Paul Briggs worked in Merseyside's Roads Policing Unit. | :00:29. | :00:40. | |
The crash in 2015 left him unable to move or speak. | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
He was kept alive by food and hydration given at the Walton | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
Paul's wife Lindsey had told the Court of Protection he wouldn't | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
Doctors disagreed, saying there was potential | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
for his condition to improve slightly. | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
At the time, a solicitor gave her reaction outside court. | :00:58. | :01:12. | |
This court case is the hardest thing we have ever had to do. | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
We did it for Paul to honour his wishes. | :01:16. | :01:17. | |
We are grateful that Mr Justice Charles has shown | :01:18. | :01:19. | |
compasion towards Paul, has respected his | :01:20. | :01:21. | |
understood what Paul would have wanted. | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
Paul Briggs was later moved to a hospice to receive | :01:25. | :01:26. | |
only palliative care - making him as comfortable | :01:27. | :01:28. | |
His family said they were relieved he would finally be at peace | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
This weekend, Lindsey Briggs posted a message on Twitter saying Paul had | :01:33. | :01:39. | |
died as a result of his road traffic collision, adding "we're | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
to terms with all he's been put through." | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
Merseyside Chief Constable Andy Cook has said PC Briggs's | :01:46. | :01:47. | |
colleagues and friends here are all thinking | :01:48. | :01:59. | |
He paid tribute to the way Paul dedicated his | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
career to protecting the | :02:04. | :02:09. | |
public and the way that Lindsey and his family bravely fought | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
Paul's family told us they've been overwhelmed by the kind | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
messages of understanding, compassion and support | :02:16. | :02:16. | |
from the public and hope their journey may somehow | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
The mother of Lee Rigby says she was threatened with arrest | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
if she didn't attend a court where she was forced to look | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
at a distressing image of her son's killer. | :02:26. | :02:27. | |
Lyn Rigby has told a Sunday newspaper she was forced to go | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
to a legal appeal brought by an internet troll who'd | :02:31. | :02:32. | |
As Liam O'Donoghue reports, campaigners are now | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
calling for a new law to protect grieving relatives. | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
Lyn Rigby will never get over the death of her son Lee, | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
the Royal Fusilier who was hacked to death in 2013. | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
This week she says she was threatened with arrest if she did | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
not attend a legal appeal by Christopher Spivey, | :02:53. | :02:54. | |
convicted of harassing the Rigby family with grossly | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
During the case, Lyn broke down when asked how she felt | :02:58. | :03:06. | |
about an image much more graphic than this one showing Lee's | :03:07. | :03:08. | |
The National Victims' Association says Lyn should never | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
have been summoned and grieving families need to be protected. | :03:14. | :03:15. | |
I believe Mrs Rigby was threatened with arrest, which is outrageous. | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
These things should not happen to a victim who has | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
suffered great loss and been through an ordeal already. | :03:25. | :03:26. | |
Mr Hines wants a victims' law to stop murder victims | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
in court where a written statement would suffice. | :03:31. | :03:40. | |
Protestors calling for a pet store which sells pedigree puppies to be | :03:41. | :03:47. | |
closed down staged a small demonstration outside | :03:48. | :03:49. | |
They claim a number of puppies have died of illnesses shortly | :03:50. | :03:55. | |
The company strongly denies the claims, saying it only buys | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
puppies from licensed, regulated breeders and is the only | :04:01. | :04:02. | |
But a campaign group is asking the authorities to take action. | :04:03. | :04:09. | |
We've set up a petition as well that has had over 2000 signatures | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
just overnight to get this place closed down. | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
If not closed down, then stop the sale of pet shop puppies. | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
It's been going on for years and years and years. | :04:23. | :04:24. | |
Football, and Burnley lost to a very late and very controversial penalty | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
Six minutes into injury time, an Arsenal player appeared to be | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
in an offside position when he was fouled | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
Alexis Sanchez scored from the spot to make it two-one to the Gunners. | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
Just minutes earlier the Clarets had equalised with a penalty | :04:42. | :04:43. | |
Southport golfer Tommy Fleetwood came from behind to win | :04:44. | :04:50. | |
He carded a final round of 67 to finish 17 under par, | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
one shot ahead of US Open champion Dustin Johnson. | :04:55. | :04:56. | |
It's his first European Tour title in more than three years. | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
Here's Lucy Martin with a look ahead to the weather forecast. | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
High pressure in charge of our weather as | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
That means we are looking at settled weather but also the chance of | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
Plenty of cloud around during the night and some breaks. | :05:16. | :05:28. | |
Where we see those breaks, there could be a chance of fog | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
Temperatures close to freezing in towns and cities. | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
Just below if you're out in the countryside. | :05:35. | :05:36. | |
Some fog first thing and that could be | :05:37. | :05:38. | |
slow to clear during the morning but once it does, some patchy cloud | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
It is going to feel cold, despite seeing some wintry sunshine. | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
I will leave you with the outlook, Tuesday is looking pretty similar, | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
It does look like the wind will pick up as we get to midweek. | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
That does it from me. I will be back just after 20 past ten more news and | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
weather. Until then, goodbye. of freezing fog. Already warnings in | :06:01. | :06:27. | |
place from the Met office. I will | :06:28. | :06:28. |
