Parliament to vote on assisted dying bill

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

Proposals to change the law to give terminally-ill people in England and Wales the choice to die are to be voted on in parliament for the first time in nearly a decade. We hear from the Labour MP putting forward the bill, from an opponent and from a terminally-ill woman. Our international editor Jeremy Bowen interviews the most senior leader of Hamas outside Gaza. And on National Poetry Day we have a reading by Michael Rosen.
