Description:

Members of the Scottish Parliament have voted 67 to 59 against legalising assisted dying. The debate featured tears, applause and impassioned pleas, and we hear from MSPs on both sides of the debate.

Also on the programme: in the US a top counter-terrorism official resigns over the Iran war, saying the country posed “no imminent threat" to America.

And remembering the writer Len Deighton, who rode the wave of social change in post-war Britain, and created the working-class spy.
