Felicity is joined by PA's Political Editor David Hughes and BBC Political Correspondent Teleri Glyn Jones to discuss UK Labour's welfare cuts and whether the rebellion from MP's will result in a climbdown from the Prime Minister. Fliss then speaks to a GP from Powys and a palliative care consultant about why they are for and against the assisted dying bill. Professor Emyr Lewis talks through the constitutional challenges and what happens if the Senedd doesn't support the bill.

How should members of Parliament decide matters of life and death? In the midst of passionate public debate, Parliament has begun to rewrite the legal boundaries around abortion and assisted dying, but what does that mean for the future of UK law? And has the United States broken international law by bombing Iran?   Ken Macdonald KC and Tim Owen KC explore the shifting lines of morality, medicine, legality and war in some of Britain's most divisive debates. They examine the legal, ethical, and political fallout of recent reforms, including the decriminalisation of abortion and the proposed assisted dying bill, raising urgent questions about how laws evolve to reflect modern values.   They're joined by Labour MP Tonia Antoniazzi, who sponsored the abortion amendment. She offers powerful insight into the parliamentary process, the resistance reformers face, and what it means to legislate on issues where conscience, religion, and human rights collide.   From politics and law to freedom of expression, from crime and punishment to the morality of modern warfare, this episode offers rigorous expert legal commentary on today's most sensitive current political events. With a focus on how British politics navigates questions of life, death, and dignity - and what that reveals about the state of our legal system.

In this thought-provoking episode of Mark and Pete, we tackle three powerful stories shaping headlines and challenging values in Britain today. First, the UK Parliament inches closer to legalising assisted dying as the controversial bill passes by just 23 votes, heading to the House of Lords. What does this mean for the sanctity of life, medical ethics, and vulnerable patients? Mark and Pete unpack the cultural and spiritual implications of this divisive debate. Next, we turn to the economic landscape as Poundland announces the closure of 68 stores, putting over 1,000 jobs at risk. With supply chain disruptions, razor-thin margins, and inflationary pressures biting hard, the collapse reflects the fragile state of the UK's consumer economy. Are we seeing the hidden costs of convenience culture? Finally, rock legend Roger Daltrey is knighted for his charity work. The former anti-establishment icon of The Who now carries a title from the very establishment he once sang against. Has rebellion become respectability? Mark and Pete explore the irony and shifting cultural narratives behind aging rockstars being embraced by the system they once opposed. Join us as we analyse politics, economics, culture, and faith — all with biblical insight and a no-nonsense Christian perspective.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/mark-and-pete--1245374/support.

The US has bombed three major nuclear sites in Iran, bringing the country directly into the Israel-Iran conflict. Iran's Foreign minister has described the US strikes as "outrageous" and says Iran is reserving "all options to defend its sovereignty". We get an update from our correspondent in Jerusalem and discuss if an argument can be made from religiously-based ethics, for Israel's actions? Israel contends that its attack on Iran is legal under international law because it represented a form of pre-emptive self-defence. William Crawley speaks to Emad Kiyaei, director at the Middle East Treaty Organization (METO), and co-author of Middle East Weapons of Mass Destruction: A new approach to non-proliferation; and Dr Ezra Tzfadya, Senior Fellow at the Centre for Middle East Studies at Indiana University-Bloomington, where he convenes the US Department of Education sponsored "Shia Islamic and Jewish Legal Reasoning in Dialogue" project.MPs have voted to accept the Assisted Dying Bill which will allow a terminally ill person to legally end their life through medical means. The Catholic Church in England and Wales says it doesn't see how its many care homes and hospices can continue to operate with no exemption from the law. Archbishop John Sherrington of Liverpool, the Lead Bishop for Life Issues for the Catholic Bishops Conference of England and Wales, and Rabbi Dr Jonathan Romain, who chairs Religious Alliance for Dignity in Dying look forward to what the passage of the bill will mean.Do you mark the summer solstice? This weekend thousands of people are enjoying sunrise events, which signify the end of spring and the moment when the sun reaches its zenith. But for pagans it's more than just a party – the solstices are a spiritual part of their belief in the wheel of the year. We hear from a wicca witch and a druid, about why the summer solstice is so important.Presenter: William Crawley Producers: Bara'atu Ibrahim & Julia Paul Studio Managers: Amy Brennan & Joe Stickler Editor: Tim Pemberton

Today, MPs have voted in favour of the assisted dying bill, in the biggest step so far in favour of the changing of the law. MPs vote to back a bill legalising assisted dying in England and Wales by 23 votes. Prime Minister Keir Starmer voted in favour of the bill, while Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch voted against. The bill would allow terminally ill adults with six months or less to live to get medical assistance to end their own lives. The bill will now progress to the House of Lords where it will face further scrutiny. Adam and Chris are joined by Fergus Walsh, the BBC's medical editor to discuss.

It's a historic day in Westminster, where MPs will vote on the assisted dying bill – the outcome of which could have huge repercussions for healthcare, politics and the courts. It's such a significant day, in fact, that we'll be recording another podcast just after the result is announced at around 2.30 p.m.Kim Leadbeater's camp remains confident that the bill will pass, although many anticipate a much closer vote than at the second reading. This is in no small part due to high-profile members of the party being opposed to the legislation, and Keir Starmer remaining characteristically evasive on the issue. The backdrop, of course, is the resignation of a government whip, Vicky Foxcroft – though over a separate issue: Liz Kendall's plan to cut personal independence payments. Could this be part of a coordinated rebellion? And how will the assisted dying bill – brought by a Labour MP and tacitly backed by a Labour PM– define Labour's first year?Oscar Edmondson speaks to James Heale and Isabel Hardman.Produced by Oscar Edmondson.

MPs have voted – by a narrow 23-vote margin – in favour of legalising assisted dying. Bizarrely, the 51.9 to 48.1 per cent breakdown is the exact same as the 2016 referendum result, although hopefully this issue doesn't divide the Labour party in the same way that Brexit did for the Tories.The whole process is far from ‘Parliament at its best', as it has often been claimed. Despite hours of passionate and emotional debate, key concerns about the drafting of the bill forced some who would naturally back assisted dying to oppose it. The overwhelming feeling is that a private member's bill was not the right forum for this kind of legislation.So what comes next? The bill will now pass to the House of Lords, after which comes the business of putting the measures into practice. This raises a multitude of problems for the Labour government, as it must now decide, for example, whether the responsibility will fall on the NHS or private doctors; who will pay for it; and what legal protections will be given to doctors and nurses. Other key questions remain: did Keir Starmer break a voting pact with David Lammy? And how could the decision to go against the party impact ambitious members of the shadow cabinet?Lucy Dunn, James Hale and Rajiv Shah, former adviser in No. 10, discuss.Produced by Oscar Edmondson.

The bill allows terminally ill adults who are expected to die within six months to seek medical help to end their own lives. But it must first go to the Lords, where it will face further scrutiny. Also: reports say at least 400 people in Gaza have now been killed outside US-backed aid centres since they began operating last month. And protesters have broken into RAF Brize Norton.

As Israel and Iran trade escalating blows, and the horrific situation in Gaza continues, Trump has suggested the US could get directly involved. So how is Keir Starmer going to handle all this? And what could it mean for millions of Iranians? John Harris speaks to the Guardian's diplomatic editor, Patrick Wintour, and an Iranian woman who now lives in the UK. Plus, it's a rare week in British politics, with the House of Commons voting on two big social issues: abortion and assisted dying. Deputy political editor Jessica Elgot joins John to discuss.

In a Talking Politics exclusive, the architect of the assisted dying bill Kim Leadbeater joins the podcast as MPs prepare for a crucial vote on the era-defining legislation.She explains to Paul Brand why she is "positive and optimistic" a majority will support the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill in Friday's defining vote.And while Health Correspondent Rebecca Barry outlines the concerns from sections of the medical community - and the many unknowns that remain on how assisted dying will be implemented - Kim argues why MPs are ruling on "the most robust assisted dying bill in the world".Meanwhile, Robert Peston shares his analysis after grilling Prime Minister Keir Starmer at the G7 in Canada on splits among world leaders over the Iran-Israel conflict and the handling of the grooming gangs inquiry.

It's time for another News Watch, helping you get your head around the headlines. Locals face-off law enforcement in LA, as Trump sends the military to flatten (or fan up) protests. Meanwhile, Western media are dodging terms like ‘authoritarian' better than their reporters are dodging police bullets. Assisted dying is back in the headlines as legalisation goes through UK and France's parliaments. Disabled people and terminally ill people are often pitched on opposite sides of the debate: how do we elevate both communities' voices, without pitting minorities against each other? Freedom Flotilla or "selfie yacht"? Humanitarian aid or vanity stunt? Whatever you think of Greta Thunberg and the Madleen crew, it doesn't change the fact that Gaza is under siege. If the media's so sick of Greta's selfies, perhaps they could cover the story behind the ‘stunt'?

As French lawmakers consider legalising assisted dying, a look at the citizen's assembly that carefully considered the issue. Also, a film about the writer – and filmmaker – Marcel Pagnol at the Cannes film festival, which is finally tackling sexual harassment in the industry. And the man who created the fête des voisins 25 years ago so neighbours get to know one other. French MPs are shortly to vote on whether or not to legalise assisted suicide and euthanasia. The draft legislation draws heavily on the work of the Citizens' Convention on end-of-life care – a group of 184 people, randomly selected in late 2022 to reflect France's diverse population. Though strangers to each other and to the subject, they spent four months in thoughtful debate, building a spirit of mutual respect despite deep differences of opinion. Economist Marc-Olivier Strauss-Kahn, one of the participants, talks about why this exercise in deliberative democracy was so enriching and valuable to society. Along with others, he's helped launch an association to ensure the dialogue, and the social inclusion it fostered, continues beyond the convention itself. (Listen @0')This year's Cannes film festival is taking the issue of sexual harassment in the movie industry more seriously than ever, just weeks after actor Gerard Depardiee was convicted for sexual assault. Ollia Horton talks about what's changing. She also introduces a film about the life of Marcel Pagnol – one of France's most cherished writers and a former Cannes jury president. (Listen @20'15'')The annual fête des voisins, held on the last Friday of May, is an opportunity for neighbours to get to know each other. Launched 25 years ago in Paris by local councillor Atanase Périfan, it was aimed at bringing more solidarity into everyday life and it seems to be working.

The conversation around Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) for minors brings forth deep ethical, moral, developmental, and societal concerns that are essential to explore thoroughly. The idea that minors, even when labeled as "mature," should possess the autonomy to decide upon ending their own lives raises profound and multifaceted issues requiring careful examination, and by examination I believe it just shouldn't be happening AT ALL.FOLLOW @ KELSIE_SHERENSubstack: https://substack.com/@kelsisherenWatch on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3opNURn  - - - - - - - - - - - -SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS - - - - - - - - - - - -RHO Nutrition - Code: KELSI20 -  https://rhonutrition.com/KELSIXX-XY Athletics - Code: KELSI20 - https://www.xx-xyathletics.com/?sca_ref=7336247.FtJS2YUK4OKetone IQ- 30% off with code KELSI - https://ketone.com/KELSIGood Livin- 20% off with code KELSI - https://www.itsgoodlivin.com/?ref=KELSIBrass & Unity - 20% off with code UNITY - http://brassandunity.com - - - - - - - - - - - - -SHOPB&U Jewelry & Eyewear: https://brassandunity.com - - - - - - - - - - - - -Follow #thekelsisherenperspective- - - - - - - - - - - - -CHARITYHeroic Hearts Project - https://www.heroicheartsproject.orgHonour House Society - https://www.honourhouse.caAll Secure Foundation - http://allsecurefoundation.orgDefenders of Freedom -https://www.defendersoffreedom.usBoot Campaign - https://bootcampaign.orgSubstack: https://substack.com/@kelsisherenWatch on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3opNURn  - - - - - - - - - - - -SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS - - - - - - - - - - - -RHO Nutrition - Code: KELSI20 -  https://rhonutrition.com/KELSIXX-XY Athletics - Code: KELSI20 - https://www.xx-xyathletics.com/?sca_ref=7336247.FtJS2YUK4OKetone IQ- 30% off with code KELSI - https://ketone.com/KELSIGood Livin- 20% off with code KELSI - https://www.itsgoodlivin.com/?ref=KELSIBrass & Unity - 20% off with code UNITY - http://brassandunity.com - - - - - - - - - - - - -SHOPB&U Jewelry & Eyewear: https://brassandunity.com - - - - - - - - - - - - -Follow #thekelsisherenperspective- - - - - - - - - - - - -CHARITYHeroic Hearts Project - https://www.heroicheartsproject.orgHonour House Society - https://www.honourhouse.caAll Secure Foundation - http://allsecurefoundation.orgDefenders of Freedom -https://www.defendersoffreedom.usBoot Campaign - https://bootcampaign.org

As election day nears, Lean Out continues to highlight the issues that we feel have not received enough attention in this news cycle. My guest on the program today is a physician who serves on death review committee with Ontario's Office of the Chief Coroner. In today's emotional interview, we take a close look at medical assistance in dying, or MAiD — and her concerns about how it's playing out in practice.Ramona Coelho is a family doctor, and a founding member of Physicians Together With Vulnerable Canadians. She's a senior fellow at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, and has just co-edited a new book, titled Unravelling MAiD in Canada: Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide as Medical Care.You can find Tara Henley on Twitter at @TaraRHenley, and on Substack at tarahenley.substack.com

The UK government is debating legislation to allow assisted dying in England and Wales, which puts doctors at the forefront of deciding if their patient will be eligible for a medically assisted death - the key criteria being a 6 month prognosis. But is making a 6 month prognosis actually clinically reliable? To discuss we're joined by a panel of experts on end of life; Scott Murray, emeritus professor of primary palliative care at the University of Edinburgh Simon Etkind, assistant professor of palliative care at the University of Cambridge Nancy Preston, professor of supportive and palliative care, Lancaster University Suzanne Ost, professor of law, Lancaster University Reading list Assisted dying and the difficulties of predicting end of life Breaching the stalemate on assisted dying: it's time to move beyond a medicalised approach   Also in this episode, we dim the lights and raise the curtains - there is a public fascination with doctors who kill and the stage show turned podcast, ‘An Appointment with Murder', takes a deep dive into the crimes of GPs John Bodkin-Adams and Harold Shipman. Kamran is joined by Harry Brunjes and Andrew Johns to talk medical murder. An Appointment With Murder on Apple Podcasts

This week: should the assisted dying bill be killed off? Six months after Kim Leadbeater MP launched the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, a group of Labour MPs have pronounced it ‘irredeemably flawed and not fit to become law'. They say the most basic aspects of the bill – having gone through its committee stage – do not hold up to scrutiny. Dan Hitchens agrees, writing in the magazine this week that ‘it's hard to summarise the committee's proceedings except with a kind of Homeric catalogue of rejected amendments' accompanied by a ‘series of disconcerting public statements'. With a third reading vote approaching, what could it tell us about the country we live in? Dan joins the podcast alongside the Revd Fergus Butler-Gallie, who provides the Spectator's diary for the week. (1:34) Next: where are all the rabbits? If you've noticed fewer rabbits across the countryside that might be due to a killer pandemic that has appeared on Britain's shores. Henry Williams raises awareness in the magazine this week about Rabbit Haemorrhagic Disease (RHD), which has a mortality rate of between 70 and 100% and has already left rabbits endangered in countries like Spain. The disease can kill suddenly and is particularly prolific within wild rabbits, which are less likely to be vaccinated than household pets. How concerned should we be? Henry joined the podcast to discuss. (20:56) And finally: are creme eggs delicious – or disgusting? ‘How do you eat yours?' asks the famous Cadbury's advert for creme eggs. James Innes-Smith, writing his notes on creme eggs in the magazine this week, responds ‘stamping on them in disgust'. James might not be a fan but most of the British public are – over 220 million of them are sold in the UK each year. Even more astonishing given they're only available to buy for a third of the year. Why are they loved so much? James joined the podcast alongside The Guardian's Lucy Mangan, who makes the case for creme eggs. (27:09) Presented by William Moore and Lara Prendergast. Produced by Patrick Gibbons.

We continue our exploration of some of the issues that could crop up if assisted dying becomes law under The Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill that is currently working its way through Parliament.Today we consider what those final moments might be like and if the ideal of a peaceful death is a reality with the drug options currently available.To discuss we're joined by:Katherine Sleeman - Professor of Palliative Care at King's College London David Nicholl - Consultant Neurologist at University Hospital Birmingham Mark Taubert - Consultant Palliative Medicine at NHS Wales Erica Borgstrom - Professor of Medical Anthropology at The Open UniversityIt's claimed that within each of us there is a credit card's worth of microplastics. We dig into the figures underlying that with Kit Yates, Professor of Mathematical Biology at the University of Bath.And, we answer your questions after our programme on hearing loss with audiologist Dr Hannah Cooper, Kevin Munro, Professor of Audiology at the University of Manchester and Nish Mehta, an Ear, Nose and Throat surgeon at Royal National ENT Hospital.Presenter: James Gallagher Producers: Hannah Robins and Tom Bonnett Editor: Holly Squire

We continue our exploration of some of the issues that could crop up if assisted dying becomes law under The Terminally Ill Adults End of Life Bill that is currently working its way through Parliament.Today we tackle safeguarding. How can we be certain an assisted death is what the person wants? And who should even bring up the conversation?To discuss we're joined by:Katherine Sleeman - Professor of Palliative Care at King's College London David Nicholl - Consultant Neurologist at University Hospital Birmingham Mark Taubert - Consultant Palliative Medicine at NHS Wales Erica Borgstrom - Professor of Medical Anthropology at The Open UniversityPresenter: James Gallahgher Producers: Hannah Robins Assistant Production: Tom Bonnett and Siobhan

The Terminally Ill Adults End of Life Bill is working its way through Parliament. If it became law in England and Wales it would be one of those moments in history that profoundly changes society. There are similar discussions taking place in Scotland, the Isle of Man and Jersey too. To be clear about what we're doing on Inside Health. We're not going to debate the rights or wrongs of assisted dying. Or go through the politics of the Bill. Instead, over the next few episodes we're going to explore some of the issues that will come up if assisted dying goes ahead. We're going to start with eligibility and who could get an assisted death under the proposed rules? To discuss we're joined by:Katherine Sleeman - Professor of Palliative Care at King's College London David Nicholl - Consultant Neurologist at University Hospital Birmingham Mark Taubert - Consultant Palliative Medicine at NHS Wales Erica Borgstrom - Professor of Medical Anthropology at The Open UniversityAlso in the programme we have exclusive research on the differences between men and women's immune systems and why that affects the risks of infection and even autoimmune disease. James speaks Professor Lucy Wedderburn from the Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health and Director of the Centre for Adolescent Rheumatology at University College London, and Associate Professor Dr Lizzy Rosser also from the Centre for Adolescent Rheumatology at University College London.Presenter: James Gallagher Producers: Hannah Robins & Tom Bonnett

Kim Leadbeater has been an MP since winning the Batley & Spen by-election for Labour in 2021. She was elected to the constituency that her sister, Jo Cox, had served until she was murdered during the 2016 Brexit referendum campaign. Having pursued a career in health and fitness, Kim hadn't initially intended on a life in politics, but she went on to champion social and political cohesion through the Jo Cox Foundation and the More in Common initiative. More recently, she has led the campaign to legalise Assisted Dying. The Bill is currently making its way through Parliament and has been described as the biggest social reform in a generation.  On the podcast, Kim talks to Katy Balls about finding common ground with other Yorkshire MPs (including one former Prime Minister), why she thinks the growing popularity of Reform is a worrying sign of disillusionment in politics, and how she is more likely to retire than pursue a third career. The debate around Assisted Dying has been more ‘unpleasant' than expected but she has no regrets, and thinks that – most importantly – the national conversation around death has moved on. Despite a proposed extension, Kim hopes the Bill – if passed – will be implemented within 2-3 years. Produced by Patrick Gibbons.
