Assisted dying bill expected to fall

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

With the assisted dying bill expected to fall in the House of Lords tomorrow, after months of highly charged and emotional debate, we ask what next for supporters of a change to the law. Also on the programme: the health data of half a million volunteers to the Biobank database ends up on Alibaba, is sharing your medical information risky or essential to scientific advances? And we speak to the filmmakers who spent months on the road with female conspiracy theorists who were convicted for their actions during the January 6th Capitol Hill riot.
