United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP) leader Nigel Farage arrives in Westminster, London, Friday May 3, 2013, after a successful night in the local council elections. David Cameron’s Conservative Party has taken a drubbing in local elections amid a surge of support for right-wing UKIP, an anti-European Union and anti-immigration party. The rise of UKIP adds to pressure on Cameron to staunch a flow of voters from his party ahead of the next general election in 2015 and take a harder line on European reform.

FILE - A Jan. 10, 2013 photo from files showing Marie Fleming, a terminally ill woman who suffers from multiple sclerosis (MS). The paralyzed Irish woman who wants to die cannot legally commit suicide with her partner's help, Ireland's Supreme Court ruled Monday, April 29, 2013, in a case that has moved the nation. The seven-judge court said nothing in the country's 1937 constitution could authorize the deliberate taking of a life on humanitarian grounds. It said lawmakers could pass such a law to permit 59-year-old Marie Fleming to die at a time of her choosing, but no such statute existed yet. Fleming, a former University College Dublin lecturer who is unable to move from the neck down because of advanced multiple sclerosis, testified that her life had been reduced to untreatable agony and she feared choking to death because she couldn't swallow.
