Gordon Brown says he opposes assisted dying bill

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

The former Prime Minister Gordon Brown has said he opposes new legislation to legalise assisted dying in England and Wales but is calling for a commission to improve end-of-life care. Could he change the minds of some MPs? Also on the programme: Why was Donald Trump talking about cage fighting on the night he won the presidency? We look at the role mixed martial arts played in his campaign. And Scotland's oldest cello has been played in public this evening for the first time in more than 200 years. We have the cellist's verdict.
