UK MPs are holding a passionate debate in Parliament on a bill to legalise assisted dying
For the first time in almost a decade, MPs will vote on Friday on giving terminally ill adults in England and Wales the right to have an assisted death. While it’s something that remains illegal in most countries, more than 300 million people now live in countries which have legalised assisted dying.
Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Spain and Austria have all introduced assisted dying laws since 2015 – when UK MPs last voted on the issue – some allowing assisted death for those who are not terminally ill.
The proposed bill in England and Wales comes with safeguards supporters say will make it the strictest set of rules in the world, with patients needing the approval of a High Court judge. Critics on the other hand say changing the law would be a dangerous step that would place the vulnerable at risk. They argue the focus should be on improving patchy access to palliative care.
Sweden asks China to co-operate over severed cables
Sweden has formally asked China to co-operate with an investigation into damage to two cables in the Baltic Sea after a Chinese ship was linked to the incidents.
The cables - one linking Sweden to Lithuania and the other between Finland and Germany - were damaged in Swedish territorial waters in the Baltic Sea on 17 and 18 November.
A Chinese ship, the Yi Peng Three, is believed to have been in the area at the time and has since been anchored in international waters off Denmark.
Beijing has denied any involvement in sabotage and on Friday said it was willing to work with Sweden and other countries to find out what happened.
The Yi Peng Three left the Russian port of Ust-Luga, west of St Petersburg, on 15 November.
Early on 17 November, the Arelion cable between the Swedish island of Gotland and Lithuania was damaged.

A legislação que ordena que as empresas de redes sociais tomem “medidas razoáveis” para impedir que adolescentes tenham contas foi aprovada no Senado com 34 votos a favor e 19 contra.
As empresas – que enfrentam multas de até 50 milhões de dólares australianos (32,5 milhões de dólares) por não cumprimento – descreveram as leis como “vagas”, “problemáticas” e “apressadas”.
