MPs prepare to vote on assisted dying bill

Available for over a year

The Bill was introduced to Parliament last month by backbench Labour MP Kim Leadbeater. We brought together three MPs: one who backs a change in the law, one who opposes it, and one who remains undecided. The dormant Syrian Civil War sprang back into life today as rebel forces in the country's northwest launched an offensive against the government-held city of Aleppo. And as Asako Yuzuki's novel 'Butter' is named Waterstones' Book of the Year, we ask what lies behind the surging popularity of Japanese literature in Britain.
