6:03 am
vanstone on bad news is only. useful if you don't is this extremely upsetting to hear this completely inhumane decision about vincent he doesn't take wilson's case into account a tool called in to get muscles. a good. sickle cell phone needs to drink bleach in love of course is. in. the office next to the us when you see the reaction of these parents who are kind of jubilant as if they had won the world cup it's unbearable to go to suzee. today is also a victory for brown so long that the disabled person with his limits and we must accept him like that. also coming up on the day it could be the penultimate film for legendary director quentin tarantino if he sticks with his pledge to retire after 10 bouvier's it debut today at con an appropriately this one is all about hollywood. we get into
6:04 am
a fight i accidently killed. i go to jail. anybody accidentally kills anybody in a fight they go to jail it's called manslaughter. a big welcome to our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and across the world we begin the day with a debate over the right to die several landmark cases of push that emotional issue from the hospital room into the public light and turned the names of people like terri scheibel into international rallying cries now a new name there the 42 year old has been completely paralyzed since a motorbike accident in 2008 which left him in a vegetative state he was set to be taken off life support after his wife
6:05 am
campaigned to allow him to die but now according france has upheld an appeal by his parents and ordered him to be kept alive that decision as split his family and the nation. as doctors at this french hospital began shutting down there was life support and injunction came from a paris court doctors must resume his treatment. the 42 year old had been hospitalized in the state of minimal consciousness since the 2008 motorcycle accident. his wife believes he has the right to die it is his parents who have been fighting to keep him on life support. the lawyer representing their case called it a victory for justice susie owners will breed every. disaster known today is a victory for bear who will finally be accepted for who he is namely the disabled person with his limits his weaknesses and we must accept him like taking
6:06 am
a new the ripon alone we must take him as he is and we must treat him as he is the solution for of us bear is not for him to be eliminated either directly or by stopping his dietitians freshman year right because this went on its own then you must ensure we do so in new york this year. it is the latest episode in a theatre legal battle that has divided non-dance family and friends earlier the media swooped in as vast number of parents prepared for what they thought might be their final goodbye with their son. he still couldn't do that i can link him there killing him. in 2013 lambastes doctors recommended ending his treatment his wife his nephew and several siblings have supported the doctors decision to let him die. and i said i planned for this is the 1st time i've told myself it's going to have some guts and everything is being done to make it happen so i'm quite serene and ready for it and
6:07 am
. there's parents have brought several cases before french courts and the european court of human rights and repeated efforts to prevent his doctors from ending his life support. monday's late decision from the paris court of appeals ordered care to be continued until the u.n. committee could consider an appeal from lambaste parents. this is of course a passionate debate and joining me now is bobby schindler he's the president of the terri schiavo life and hope network which advocates for pay. since right to life and he's the brother of terri schiavo was life was at the center of a similar land mark case in the united states mr schindler thank you so much for joining us 1st of all you know just going back to mr lum bear i mean this is the case of just one man and yet his face is getting so much national and even international attention why do you think that is i think it's similar to my sister's case i would get asked the same question why did terri various cases get
6:08 am
so much national international attention i think because people understand when you have parents that are willing and wanting to care for their child why were i that is not it allowed to happen and when the alternative is to deliberately and purposely starman to hydrate this person and then people don't understand it and i'm glad to see the support the parents are receiving for wanting to care for the disabled son now you support the parents efforts and in this case and on best case to keep him alive that's despite though his wife saying that his own personal wishes were to not live in a quote unquote vegetative state and i shouldn't personal wishes of the person involved in the case be the deciding factor here. why imply to say that it's unclear just as it was in terri's case this was hearsay evidence and terri's case that she wanted to die. and i disagree with some of the language that's
6:09 am
being used here we're not allowing vincent to die he's not dying we have to understand there's nothing extraordinary keeping vincent arrives here is not terminal this is not an end of life situation the only thing keeping vincent alive with the same thing keeping terri alive which is food and water the same thing that keeps all of us alive the instant like my sister terry has trouble swallowing and therefore he needs a feeding tube to receive his food and hydration but aside from that there's nothing keeping him alive so what will we be doing here is deliberately ending vincent's life would be removing his food and hydration and he would start the process of death by dehydration and starvation this is only becoming an end of life issue because we're making it warm we're removing his only means of care basic care with his food and hydration and i think it's unthinkable it wasn't too long ago where the thought of starving in the hydrating a disabled person to death would have been buried but today particular in america
6:10 am
and i'm sure globally this is happening routinely and it's been accepted and i don't quite understand it because watching someone die by the hydration of starvation is actually is absolutely inhumane it's barbaric and i can understand the parents and their willingness loving can. come unconditionally why they want to care for him. many on the other side of the bait on the right to die debate you know they they would say this is not necessarily about life or death it's about quality of life and if someone like plum bear were to say i would prefer not to spend the next 152030 years in a hospital bed i would prefer to pass peacefully what's your response to that in terms of quality of life not just life itself. well we don't know that and i don't like term quality of life you know it's interesting there have been several cases where patients there are some of conditions to my sister terri to vincent remember
6:11 am
that emerge from this condition and none of them have ever expressed after they've been after they've become they've emerged from that is never none of them ever expressed that they wanted to die or they didn't want to live in that condition in fact it was quite the opposite that they were a static that they were given the chance at life so busy this whole notion that this person want to live in this condition or or the quality of life is such that that gives them that gives us a reason to kill them i think it's very dangerous and we use that this subjective. subjective way in which we decide whether someone should live or die as i said it's very dangerous and it really opens the door to killing all types of people with with the loss types of disabilities now you mentioned this case bringing back of course memories of your sister your family's struggle over her fate what happens personally you have experience of this when a family is split on such an emotional issue one part of the family wants to let
6:12 am
the person go the other the other part wants to keep that person alive well that this is a live human being with value and dignity and. the 5th of how do you deal with that issue as a family man how do you deal with with 2 sides being on such opposite parts of the equation when it comes to someone you love well we love tara wish she was and visit paris looked very good love this in the way he is it's interesting to look at the cases where the opposite has happened where there is a woman in texas who have been declared brain dead but was being kept alive actually by hospital against her family is wishes she was eventually then allowed sue to pass away should hospitals be the arbiter here and should they be able to override a family's wishes either way. well brain death is a completely different topic we're again we're if you look at britain situation we're just in terms of making that a critical decision is what i mean is such
6:13 am
a critical decision of who should be in charge of it and that's that's part of the debate well. it depends on on an individual situation mean you can't just you just can't make a broad statement on every situation there are of of a person's medical condition that they didn't have a lot depends on the decision that you would make on on treatment options but i think if families are reasonable decisions on care they should be afforded that care what we're not quite right here we're not saying that people should be kept alive at all costs but if people if families are making reasonable requests to treat their loved ones they should be afforded that. all right bobby schindler we'll have to leave it there thank you so much president of the terri schiavo life and hope network thanks for time. britain's prime minister has offered a major concession in her latest attempt to get parliament to agree to her bracks it withdrawal deal theresa may said that she will allow lawmakers to vote on
6:14 am
whether to hold a 2nd national referendum on the even the e.u. this comes 2 months after britain's scheduled departure from the bloc i've also listened carefully to those who've been arguing for a 2nd referendum i've made my own view on this clear on many many times i do not believe this is a route that we should take because i think we should be implementing the result of the 1st referendum not asking the british people to vote in a 2nd one but i recognise the genuine and sincere strength of feeling across the house on this important issue the government will therefore include in the withdrawal agreement still at introduction a requirement to vote on whether to hold a 2nd referendum and this must take place before the withdrawal agreement can be ratified. well joining me now is quentin peel he's in london he's a journalist and an associate fellow with the europe program at the think tank chatham house now 1st of all how was theresa may's offer to m.p.'s to let them vote
6:15 am
on whether to have a 2nd referendum how has that been received. like a damp squid ok to think this. is really breaks it will go this week it's a terrible idea that through referendum those who wrote the referendum say it's simply. not true think we're seeing the agreement to having a go. because right to resume it is saying is this agreement then i will give you the option to maybe maybe you won't be through a round or so nobody is pleased now today may also offered some guarantees on workers' rights some environmental protections and she addressed other contentious
6:16 am
issue of course the the irish border backstop that would guarantee that the border in ireland would remain open with no checks on goods no checks on people crossing it in the event of a no deal let's take it was now to exactly what prime minister theresa may had to say so as part of the exit deal we will place the government under a legal obligation to see to conclude alternative arrangements by december 2020 so that we can avoid any need for the backstop coming into force. i've also listened to unionist concerns about the backstop so the new bricks that deal goes further to address things it will commit to that the backstop come into force the government will ensure that great britain will stay aligned with northern ireland so trying to address further concerns there is that enough to win over skeptical parliamentarians. if it doesn't sound like it because the democratic union this year northern ireland have come out tonight and said it
6:17 am
really doesn't sound like she's offering anything that we didn't know we're ready what she's really trying to do is say i promise i will 1st myself and my government to find turner sort of really policing the border without having a border by which they need you know can't restore it with quitman to the so on that's simply not enough for all the democratic unionists on the other hand she's also say no really little bit to have to throw different rules to the rest of the united kingdom which leads norbit out of didn't effect in this that start staying in the singular look at it that. hard line breaks it was in the turret party so everybody got to reason they had to wade into this last effort to get the agreement through parliament everybody is saying it's not good enough so she really
6:18 am
seems to be caught in a terrible place so seemingly nobody happy what does this mean if this new deal does not get passed what's next for the u.k. and for prankster. what's next is the reason why it is going to resume and that's part of her problem because the fact that she's already promised to reside what's the deal is through if the deal is rejected that again means that the labor party is really not prepared to trust any promises she makes so i think the danger is we're going to get maybe 2 months of wrangling at the top with the conservative. who's going to be the new leader. and the chances it will change very little will probably get. probiotics it lead to somebody like boris johnson and he won't have the majority in parliament just as 2 reasons really it's not the majority in parliament the conservative party is in
6:19 am
a terrible mis they look like in the european elections that are going to be held on thursday it looks like they won't even get 10 percent of the votes and that's for a party that 2 years ago when it 1st it was in a general election certainly a big mess there quite and peel of the think tank chatham house in london thank you very much. to the khan film festival now and a look at some of the movies hoping to win the top prize that's been 25 years believe it or not since u.s. filmmaker quentin tarantino took home the coveted palme d'or for his classic fiction and he's back with a new offering once upon a time in hollywood and like seemingly every one of his films this one is creating quite a bus. called just. 25 years after quentin tarantino's cult maybe pulp fiction one of calm dull hollywood's wild child is back and can having to claim the trophy once again
6:20 am
townsend his latest styles hollywood heavyweight leonardo di caprio and it at festival organizers on tenterhooks. because it was still being edited in april but the film is now ready to compete to my right is the last series lead and j.k. gillen self rick dalton and to my left is rick stuck double cliff booth. once upon a time in hollywood is a movie about making movies required to do a lot of dangerous. clues here is meant. is that how you describe you just set in 1969 the picture follows an actor and a stunt double in their quest to achieve fame in hollywood we get into a fight accident. i go to. anybody who accidentally kills anybody in a fight to go to jail it's called manslaughter. the trial is
6:21 am
suggests it's a departure from the extremely violent a static of classics such as kill bill all reservoir dogs but woody and such may still get their fix of splatter. the movie is set in the era of the manson family the serial killers who spread fear and terror in california are let's head back to the movies now our very own movie buff scott roxboro is one of the luckiest guys tonight he was just at that premier of quentin tarantino's film in con scott look to the question that's on my mind and probably everyone else's is how was it. yeah for me great i really really love the film been sworn to a noice no spoilers review here sol try to talk about it without actually giving away any plot points what i can reveal is it stars leonardo di caprio who plays a sort of fading actor with the amazing name of ricky dalton who is a fading t.v.
6:22 am
actor brad pitt plays his stunt double and longtime friend and. stars as a version of the real life actress sharon tate the film takes place in the 196-096-8196 extension 9 so sort of the period the end of the golden era of hollywood where hollywood transitioned from sort of an astrologer period a romantic period into new hallie where woodward became much more which darker the films can darker and much more violent and sort of gave birth to independent cinema which in turn gave birth to directors like you know so very interesting period of time and of course this all takes place against the backdrop of the manson murders sharon tate the real sharon tate of course brutally murdered by the by the manson family what's interesting about this film i think is one it's not nearly as violent as one would expect from a parent in a movie though there are a couple of scenes which will satisfy his bloodiest fans but for me it's almost
6:23 am
a love letter to hollywood almost romantic. look at the period that preceded his in hollywood i thought was a tremendous film and i'm very interested to see how it's received and i'm curious too i mean we always associate blood with terence you know so interesting here there won't be as bloody as we might expect now does he have a chance of winning an other the horn he got 125 years ago with pulp fiction. yet 25 years ago to the day pulp fiction screen here in cannes won the palme d'or launched here in tinos career be interesting to see this year's very very strong year in cannes we got a lot of amazing films from great great directors terrence malick film is amazing that's here ken loach's new movie also very very good pedro almodovar 3 legendary directors with 3 really really strong movies i think will have a tough time competing against them and some of the young younger up and coming filmmakers have been showing here very very strong running but 25 years ago a really changed cinema and it can have a lot to do with it he owes
6:24 am
a lot to cannes i think canales a lot to him it was a great way to start his career 25 years ago with pulp fiction here will be an amazing way to crown it giving him a 2nd palme d'or for once upon a time in hollywood i'm really crossing my fingers for. do you have a favorite film so far the best one. well this one is pretty good but i'd have to go with ken loach's phil sorry we missed you an amazing look at the breakdown of social order in britain a look at 0 hours britain incredible critique of modern day modern day u.k. ken loach is an amazing director i'm amazed that he keeps getting better with each film that's my pick for the palme d'or i think he's got a really good chance of winning his 3rd palme d'or with this movie ride scott roxboro there in conference thank you very much. today the world of motor sport lost and i caught the death was announced of former formula one driver niki lauda he was 70 years old his family says he passed away in
6:25 am
his sleep at a hospital in zurich how does health have been affected by a horrific crash of the 1976 german grand prix is being remembered as one of the best and most charismatic drivers in formula one history. this was the race that changed nicky lauder's life the austrian was pulled from the burning wreckage by fellow driver later a priest read good then reigning world champion his last rites despite his horrific burns and lung damage he has staunchly returned to race just 6 weeks later he would go on to claim 2 more world titles and a glittering career his remarkable comeback and rivalry with british driver james hunt inspired the hollywood movie rush overcoming adversity remained a mantra of louder throughout his life. and i want to say one thing i've seen people here winning and losing. the kid is the award to the losers because for my own experience winning is one thing or thought of
6:26 am
losing always learned more louder is the only man to have won championships for both ferrari and mclaren and ranks as one of the greatest racing drivers of all time in 1905 loud aswat competitive racing for the world of aviation founding airlines lauder air and nicky. he never really left formula one though serving as a stakeholder and non-executive chairman with the mercedes team lauder never overcame the damage caused by the fire which consumed his car 40 years before in 2018 he underwent a lung transplant in vienna. the 3 time world champion will be remembered but for his talent behind the wheel and his extraordinary courage to return to the sport he loved. that's it for the day but as always the conversation continues online you'll find us on twitter either at the news or you can follow me on assman and don't forget to use a hash tag the day thanks for watching and for making us
