The European Court of Human Rights has delivered a landmark ruling upholding the right of women in Ireland to have an abortion there if their lives are in danger.

The Court ruled in favour of a woman who was forced to travel to the UK for a termination because Irish law currently bans abortions.

Mark Simpson reports from Dublin.
