1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,680
Speaker 1: Kay Oliver is a UK europe corresponding. K great to

2
00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:05,440
Speaker 1: have you on the program. Tell us about the end

3
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:08,880
Speaker 1: of life bill, some quite heavy hitting opposition to it.

4
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 2: Well, absolutely, Ryan, Yes, and it is going to have

5
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:17,639
Speaker 2: a vote in Parliament this Friday. It's called the Terminally

6
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:21,599
Speaker 2: Ill Adults end of Life Bill that's been proposed by

7
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:26,320
Speaker 2: the Labor MP Kim Leadbeater, and basically it would give

8
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 2: those with less than six months to live the right

9
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 2: to die. Now the opposition is mounting and we have

10
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 2: had the Health Secretary West streeting and now the Justice

11
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 2: Secretary shabanamah Mood saying that they are going to vote

12
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 2: against this bill. Ms Mahmood has put out a letter

13
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 2: to her constituents today saying that no government should be

14
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 2: able to offer death on demand, and that she also

15
00:00:54,720 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 2: worries about placing so great a destructive power in the

16
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 2: hands of the state. She cites sadly recent scandals have

17
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 2: reminded us that the state and those acting on its

18
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 2: behalf are not always benign. So it gives you some

19
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,479
Speaker 2: flavor of the opposition that's coming through on this, Ryan.

20
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,960
Speaker 2: We wait to see what happens on Friday, but it

21
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 2: would seem that in a poll that's been carried out today,

22
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 2: two thirds of the population here are in favor of

23
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 2: this bill.

24
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, it sounds like it might get through despite that

25
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 1: opposition from the you know, even the health sexture as

26
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: you mentioned. So this Bert, the storm Bert that's coming

27
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,919
Speaker 1: well already started to come in already some lives lost.

28
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 2: Well, absolutely, it's raging around as I'm speaking. I live

29
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 2: close to London. But there's a danger to life warning.

30
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 2: We've had three people already been killed. A motorists had

31
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 2: a tree smash onto the car. We've got a dog

32
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 2: walker killed, etc. We've got seven flood warnings across South

33
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 2: Wales where they've declared a major incident in the Rhonda region.

34
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 2: We've got thirty one thousand homes in Northern Ireland without power.

35
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 2: We've got rivers rising, people's sandbagging all over and lots

36
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 2: of people, particularly in Yorkshire, saying that the local authorities

37
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 2: haven't been taking any notice of warnings that basically their

38
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 2: homes are liable to flood. Though you've got a siren

39
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 2: screaming out that was used in World War Two to

40
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 2: warn people that they're in danger. So also in London,

41
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 2: they've canceled. There's a big Winter Wonderland celebration in Ibark

42
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 2: that's been scrapped today, along with nine other major parks

43
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 2: that have been closed as is what's called a triple

44
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 2: weather alert involving snow, rain and gale force winds. Carry
