6:01 am
and theirformer bossjurgen klopp. it isa it is a foggy start in western parts of the country. especially northern ireland. that will be slow to clear. most looking at hazy sunshine and showers in the south—east. i will have all the details shortly. it's tuesday, 12th november. details have been published of a proposed law that would legalise assisted dying in england and wales, ahead of a vote in parliament at the end of the month. the legislation would allow those the legislation would allow those who are terminally ill, who are terminally ill, with less than six months to live, with less than six months to live, to self—administer medication to self—administer medication to end their lives. to end their lives. those behind the proposed those behind the proposed legislation insist that there legislation insist that there are safeguards in place to protect are safeguards in place to protect those who could be coerced those who could be coerced into making the decision. into making the decision. our political correspondent brought forward a new bill our political correspondent hannah miller reports. hannah miller reports. chanting: we want choice! chanting: we want choice! nine years have passed since these nine years have passed since these scenes outside parliament, scenes outside parliament, when mps last voted on assisted when mps last voted on assisted dying and said no. dying and said no.
6:02 am
now, the mp kim leadbeater has now, the mp kim leadbeater has brought forward a new bill that she says contains the strictest safeguards in the world, after consulting with experts and organisations on all sides of the argument. what i think it has done has given me a very holistic view of the issue, which has resulted in me producing a piece of legislation which i think addresses the very real concerns that people have, but still solves the problem i think really needs
6:03 am
crucially, the medication to end life must be self—administered. doctors will not be allowed to do it. the first vote on this bill will take place in two and a half weeks' time. mps have between now and then to decide whether they want it to progress further. given that assisted dying is such a deeply personal issue, the government won't be taking a position, leaving each mp free to make up their own mind. while many are thought to still be undecided, some mps have indicated their opposition. chanting: care not killing! i recognise the efforts that have been made to draw this bill tightly, but if we pass this bill, we'll change the whole nature of our society's attitude to the vulnerable, to the frail, to the disabled, the ill, the lonely and depressed. all the people for who themselves or others might decide at one moment
6:04 am
that their life is not worth living. and if we are prepared to say that in certain cases it's right for the state to take life out of compassion, i'm afraid that is a door that we can't then close and it will become progressively wider. the debate on assisted dying is complicated and controversial, with parliament now having to balance the deeply held feelings on both sides. hannah miller, bbc news, westminster. our chief political correspondent henry zeffman joins us now. a big decision ahead in the next few weeks. mps will take a personal decision, it is not a party political matter.- decision, it is not a party political matter. exactly right. what is unusual— political matter. exactly right. what is unusual about - political matter. exactly right. what is unusual about the - political matter. exactly right. i what is unusual about the issue political matter. exactly right. - what is unusual about the issue they are wrestling with and wrestling is the right word, it is notjust a politicaljudgment. it is a moral judgment. a moraljudgment they are making for themselves. it is known as a free vote which means they will
6:05 am
not have party whips telling them how to vote. each mp will decide for themselves where they stand on this issue. there are already lots of mps who are definitely in favour and lots of mps who are implacably opposed. the biggest chunk, with two and a half weeks to go until the crucial vote, seem to be weighing up both sides of the argument. again and again, a few different things crop up. there is a concern, and it might sound meta, but a concern about scrutiny and process. mps who worry they are not being given enough time to look at the legislation. it is not a criticism of the backbench mp who is bringing this but in the nature of the process when a backbencher proposes legislation. the other name that comes up is wes streeting. the health secretary has let it be known he is opposed, even though he is not
6:06 am
publicly campaigning. that is weighing heavily particularly on some labour mps. and how they will balance that and the experience of other countries who legalised versions of assisted dying, we will other countries who legalised versions of assisted dying, we will not find out until the next couple not find out until the next couple of weeks. ., ~ , ., of weeks. ., ~ , ., not find out until the next couple of weeks. ., ~' ,, ~ not find out until the next couple of weeks. ., ~' ,, ~ not find out until the next couple of weeks. ., ~ ,, ~ , , ., ~ of weeks. thank you. we will speak to the labour— not find out until the next couple of weeks. ., ~ ,, ~ , , ., ~ of weeks. thank you. we will speak to the labour— of weeks. thank you. we will speak to the labour mp _ of weeks. thank you. we will speak to the labour mp who _ of weeks. thank you. we will speak of weeks. thank you. we will speak to the labour mp _ of weeks. thank you. we will speak to the labour mp who _ of weeks. thank you. we will speak to the labour mp who is _ of weeks. thank you. we will speak to the labour mp who is putting - to the labour mp who is _ of weeks. thank you. we will speak to the labour mp who is putting - to the labour mp who is putting forward that private member's bill to the labour mp who is putting forward that private member's bill later on the programme. and we will later on the programme. and we will bejoined by two people bejoined by two people later on the programme. and we will be joined by two people and later on the programme. and we will be joined by two people and later on the programme. and we will bejoined by two people and hear from them on different sides of the later on the programme. and we will bejoined by two people and hear from them on different sides of the debate and they will explain how it debate and they will explain how it is a deeply personal situation for is a deeply personal situation for them. now the rest of the news. is at the archbishop's official them. now the rest of the news. the archbishop of canterbury the archbishop of canterbury is facing mounting pressure is facing mounting pressure to resign over his handling of child to resign over his handling of child abuse byjohn smyth, abuse byjohn smyth, who ran christian children's camps who ran christian children's camps associated with the church of associated with the church of england. england. a review found thatjustin welby a review found thatjustin welby should have reported the case should have reported the case to authorities when details to authorities when details were presented to him in 2013. were presented to him in 2013.
