British MPs support assisted dying bill

The British parliament has voted to progress a bill that could legalise assisted dying for the terminally ill in England and Wales.

British MPs have voted to advance a bill which could give the terminally ill the right to end their own lives. We hear the arguments for and against and examine the next steps for the bill to become law.

Also on the programme, what can the European Union do to rescue relations with the former soviet republic of Georgia, and we have the first glimpse inside a restored Notre Dame in Paris, five years after a fire devastated the cathedral.
