Victoria stands in for Laura this weekend! Today, we discuss the assisted dying bill, one of the most significant and sensitive topics to have been voted on by MPs in recent decades. We hear YOUR reaction to the bill and why it matters. Plus, defence editor at the Economist, Shashank Joshi, joins us to talk about the rebel forces advancing in Aleppo, and whether this could topple the Assad regime. You can now listen to Newscast on a smart speaker. If you want to listen, just say "Ask BBC Sounds to play Newscast”. It works on most smart speakers.

Correct.
I'm still buzzing from your encounter with Jeremy Clarkson, which I saw on Newsnight, and I think you, you made absolute cultural weather with your interview with him.
So it's a great pleasure to be in your orbit.
Don't be ridiculous.
We've got two really important things to talk about today.
There is significant news in Syria, which is a part of the world that perhaps we haven't talked about much recently.
And so much correspondence from newscasters on the assisted dying Bill.
Let's get underway with Saturday's newscast.
Newscast, newscast from the BBC.
I like landscapes.
I don't think I'm being rude.
