Hello and welcome to News Hour from the BBC World Service, coming to you live from our studios in central London.
Hello, I'm Julian Marshall.
First today, a history defining moment in the British Parliament.
The eyes to the right, 330.
The no, still left 275.
The eyes of it.
The eyes of it.
A look.
And with that vote, a bill which would give those in England and Wales with terminal illnesses the right to legally end their own lives.
What's known as assisted dying moved a step closer to becoming law.
The bill still faces weeks of further scrutiny with the possibility of further amendments.
But if finally approved, it would give Those aged over 18 with less than six months left to live the option of having a doctor prescribe them lethal drugs.
But with a number of safeguards.
MPs were under no pressure to vote along party lines in what's known as a free vote.
And they did so by 330 to 275 to pass the bill.
It had been proposed by Kim Leadbeater from the governing Labour Party, who acknowledged that the decision facing MPs was not straightforward.
