Assisted dying: Britain reacts to MPs supporting bill
Category: News & Politics
Duration: 00:47:25
Publish Date: 2024-11-29 22:20:00
Description:

A bill which would allow terminally ill people in England and Wales to end their own lives has taken a major step forward. The majority of MPs have voted to advance it to the next stage, and the bill faces weeks of more scrutiny. What does the vote tell us about British society’s changing attitude towards assisted death?

Also on the programme: the BBC’s Rayhan Demetrie with the latest on protests in Georgia, after the country’s government delayed EU accession talks; and we hear from one of the artisans involved in restoring Notre-Dame Cathedral.
