letting a three—goal lead slip to draw with dutch side feyenoord. pep guardiola's side were cruising to victory thanks to two goals from erling haaland and one from ilkay gundogan as they looked set to end a run of five straight defeats in all competitions. but they and the city fans were left stunned as feyenoord scored three goals in the final 1a minutes to earn the dutch side a barely believable point at the etihad. it is what it is. difficult to swallow right now. the game was good, we scored three, we could have scored more. we did everything, at the end we gave away the win. but yes, improve, what can we do? it’s

coote said in the statement, "i have always held the integrity of the game in the highest regard, refereeing matches impartially and to the best of my ability." he was previously suspended from his role when a video emerged of him appearing to make disparaging remarks about the former liverpool managerjurgen klopp. cricket now, and the first test between england and new zealand begins on thursday in christchurch, with the hosts coming off the back of an impressive 3—0 series win against india earlier this month. but captain tom latham says they have put that series behind them and are looking forward to renewing their rivalry with ben stokes�* side in this three—match series. it isa it is a call rivalry that we have got. we are fortunate enough we have played a lot against each other in certainly my time and the black caps but

before that. we have had great games over the last seven years. it was no different a couple of seasons ago when they were out here so i'm sure it will produce a more thrilling games like we have seen and i'm sure both teams are looking forward to getting into it. one of the biggest names in athletics is on a mission to shake up the sport. michaeljohnson has set up a new league, taking inspiration from tennis, called grand slam track. it will see big name athletes compete over four events injamaica, miami, la and philadephia, from april tojune next year — all in order to keep track stars prominent away from the major championships. there is no better time, given what you just mentioned, you know, the excitement around sport. also for track and field where i believe is the greatest collection of personalities, we
11:50 am
have seen for quite some time in the sport. when you think about how important storytelling is, we have some great athletes with amazing personalities and great stories to tell. and in the nba, the san antonio spurs won their fourth straight game with a 128—115 victory over the utahjazz in nba cup action. victor wembanyama was once again the star for the spurs, the frenchman scoring 3a points as the spurs improved to a 2 and 1 record in group b and keeping themselves in the hunt for a spot in the western quarterfinals. and that's all the sport for now. remember, you can stay right up to date with all the latest using the bbc sport website and app. goodbye for now. hello, you are live with bbc news. this here is the scene in the house of commons where we are just the house of commons where we arejust a the house of commons where we are just a few minutes away

from prime minister's questions this week. we will be taking you there shortly but first let's take a look at some of the other news. on friday mps will vote on a bill which if passed would legalise assisted dying in england and wales. under the proposals, terminally ill adults expected to die within six months could seek help to end their lives if two doctors and a high courtjudge approved. mps last voted on the issue in 2015. since then, similar legislation has been introduced in other countries. fergus walsh has been taking a lock. more than 300 million people around the world live in countries which have legalised assisted dying. the legislation proposed
11:52 am
for england and wales is based on the system operating in oregon in the united states since 1997. there, it's open to terminally ill, mentally competent adults expected to die within six months, and must be signed off by two doctors. two thirds of patients who have an assisted death have cancer, around one in ten have a neurological condition, and one in ten heart disease. here are some of their biggest concerns. nine in ten worry about loss of autonomy. two thirds cite loss of dignity. and more than four in ten are worried about being a burden on family or friends. around one in three of those prescribed a lethal dose don't go ahead with it. across the united states, assisted dying is now legal in 11 jurisdictions — including california and colorado, which introduced it in 2016 — as well as newjersey and maine in 2019. canada introduced medical assistance in dying in 2016 — initially just for the terminally ill. in 2021, it was extended to those experiencing unbearable suffering from an irreversible illness or disability. it's due to be extended
11:53 am
to those with a mental illness in three years. four in 100 of all deaths in canada are now medically assisted, compared to around one in 100 in oregon. next, to europe. in switzerland, assisted suicide has been lawful since 1942. it's one of the few countries which allows foreigners to have help to die via organisations like dignitas in zurich. more than 500 britons have died at dignitas in the past two decades — a0 last year alone. the netherlands and belgium both legalised assisted dying more than 20 years ago for patients experiencing unbearable suffering from an incurable illness — including mental—health issues. it has since been extended to children — the only european countries to allow this. most recently, spain and austria have legalised assisted dying for both terminal illness and intolerable suffering.
11:54 am
finally, to australia and new zealand. in the past few years, voluntary assisted dying has become legal across most parts of australia. in new zealand, patients must be terminally ill, and expected to die within six months. in most australian states, that is extended to 12 months for those with a neurodegenerative condition. in both countries, patients can take the lethal medication themselves, but in most cases it can also be administered by a doctor or nurse — also called euthanasia — usually via an intravenous injection. physician—assisted dying is also legal in belgium, the netherlands, luxembourg, spain, canada, and colombia. however, the assisted dying law proposed for england and wales would require the patient to self—administer the lethal dose.

the owner of the car company vauxhall has announced plans to close its van making factory in luton north of london, putting about 1100 jobs at risk. the company stellantis says it wants to consolidate van production at its other plant in ellesmere port in cheshire. simonjack reports. the vauxhall motor company was founded in 1857, and has been building cars and vans in luton for over a century. in recent years it has produced only vans, but soon these production lines may come to a standstill as parent company stellantis plans to shut the plant for good, marking the end of an era and the loss of 1,100 jobs. my grandad used to work there back in the �*80s and stuff, so, you know, it provided so many jobs for the town. hundreds of people work there and which my husband is part of it.
11:56 am
so it's really, really shocking to hear the news here. just before christmas, everyone's getting - the bad news. the stellantis boss, seen here at luton in 2018, has warned that requirements to sell more electric cars while consumer demand stalled, was unsustainable. this year, 22% of all cars manufacturers sell in the uk must be pure electric and 10% of vans — targets most will miss. next year, it's 28% of cars and 16% of vans. 80% must be battery powered by 2030. and the government tonight renewed its commitment to ban sale of all petrol and diesel cars by 2030, with hybrids making up the difference. missing annual targets can result in punitive fines. the mandate is too onerous, and secondly, there aren't enough in the way of incentives to actually encourage people to actually go out and buy electric cars and vans. so that's the big problem. so it's a way of trying to cut costs in order to keep operations in the uk going. the news broke as the business secretary was in front of mps. this is a very difficult day for luton. and he conceded the rules needed a rethink. i think we've got to be willing to do it, not in a way, as i say,
11:57 am
which undermines the destination. but let's look at what it is meant and means right now for british vehicle manufacturing, because i don't think right now it's working as anyone intended it to. thank you. he also said it could have been worse. stellantis is investing £50 million in ellesmere port and creating hundreds of newjobs, but not enough to offset the 1,100 going at luton. enough to offset to 1,100 going at luton. some have said the ev rules are a convenient excuse for cost cutting, but the uk is not alone. across europe, car makers fighting new chinese rivals, are shutting factories and cutting tens of thousands of jobs. that will be little comfort to workers in luton. simon jack, bbc news. as we mentioned, we are just a few minutes away from this week's prime minister's questions. this is the scene in the house where the prime minister sir keir starmer will be appearing shortly. we can now speak to our political
11:58 am
correspondent helen catt. what do you think the focus will be for pmqs this week? the newspapers are leading with the government plans to change its electric vehicle rules at the moment. electric vehicle rules at the moment-— electric vehicle rules at the moment. , . ., , , moment. this has certainly been the big story _ moment. this has certainly been the big story over— moment. this has certainly been the big story over the _ moment. this has certainly been the big story over the last - the big story over the last couple of days or certainly the last 2a hours, hasn't it, because of the closure of the luton plant that you just heard simon jack luton plant that you just heard simonjack outlining his report. that has thrown into relief the focus on the government's policy which of course it did inherit from the last government of putting in these targets, so that could make it a slightly tricky one in some ways for kemi badenoch to go on at prime minister's questions because this was a policy, those targets you heard simon outlining, were set out by the conservative government. there were reports at the time in the press that kemi badenoch had perhaps not been happy with those when she was business and trade secretary so that throws
11:59 am
a complication into that line of questioning four prime minister's questions. certainly it would seem strange if we don't get anything on that. also on the wider discussion, because it is a current political issue at the moment, is how far and how fast commitments towards net zero should go and this idea that if you speak to most parties they will tell you that they want to bring people along with them but there is a real difference and sense of discussion between different parties about how you do that and at what speed, and how targets should be set to achieve reducing emissions, but at the same time without losing public goodwill. find at the same time without losing public goodwill.— public goodwill. and the other bi public goodwill. and the other his political— public goodwill. and the other big political story _ public goodwill. and the other big political story of _ public goodwill. and the other big political story of the - public goodwill. and the other big political story of the week| big political story of the week is the vote on the assisted dying bill. of course this is a private member's bill. mps have a free vote on it but is it likely to come up in pmqs? again, that would be quite a difficult one really for kemi
12:00 pm
badenoch to raise and for ed davey to raise. because as you say it is a private member's bill so the government to stay neutral on this and prime minister's questions is an opportunity for them to try and scrutinise the government and government policy. given this is one where the government doesn't have a position on whether the assisted dying bill should pass, it's being left up to individual mps to make their own decision on that so we might see some backbenchers perhaps bring it up and talk about it but it's not really something you can challenge the government position on because it doesn't have one. find government position on because it doesn't have one.— it doesn't have one. and kemi badenoch _ it doesn't have one. and kemi badenoch is — it doesn't have one. and kemi badenoch is still _ it doesn't have one. and kemi badenoch is still relatively - badenoch is still relatively new in the job and badenoch is still relatively new in thejob and a lot badenoch is still relatively new in the job and a lot of people watching her performances against the prime minister, how has she done so far? ~ . ., , minister, how has she done so far? ~ ., ., , , ., far? we are only several weeks into the new — far? we are only several weeks into the new line-up _ far? we are only several weeks into the new line-up at - far? we are only several weeks into the new line-up at pmqs l into the new line—up at pmqs with keir starmer obviously answering the questions. he's had a couple of months to get into his stride, to see what works best for him. kemi badenoch has only been in the post a few weeks so there is that sense still that they are
