BBC Radio 4 - World at One, 11/09/2015

Rigorous analysis of news and current affairs, presented by Mark Mardell.

As MPs debate the Assisted Dying Bill, two people with personal experience discuss their opposing views. Plus Sadiq Khan, the Labour candidate for London Mayor.

As the Assisted Dying Bill is debated by MPs, we debate the principle with two people who have personal experience of the issue - one who took her brother to Dignitas to end his life, and a disabled rights activists who was twice told he has months to live, and worries that the Bill would lead to people ending their lives prematurely.

Sadiq Khan has won the election to be Labour's London Mayoral candidate. We examine what the voting figures tell us about the Labour Leadership contest, and speak to Sadiq Khan about his plans for the upcoming campaign, how Labour can reunite behind it's new leader, and airport expansion.

Following Peter Robinson stepping aside as First Minister of Northern Ireland, the Chair of the Northern Ireland Select Committee tells us that politicians have let down the people they represent, and that he fears the political crisis has been precipitated by 'grandstanding' Unionists ahead of next May's elections.

The USA will take up to 10 000 Syrian refugees. We hear views from the American public.

Hugh Sykes reports on how the plunging price of oil is affecting the security situation in Algeria.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
