An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
MPs rejected a draft law to legalise assisted dying in England and Wales by 286 votes to 270. The result was announced in the Commons, with Labour MP Preet Kaur Gill explaining her opposition citing concerns about palliative care funding and insufficient safeguards. Campaigners on both sides reacted outside Parliament: Liz Carr argued that suffering exists now and called for improved end-of-life care, while Lucy Blake, whose sister has stage 4 breast cancer, expressed shock and disappointment. Caroline Hersey from My Death, My Decision said she was appalled and called the defeat a failure of democracy, vowing to continue campaigning.
Commemorations marked 25 years since the September 11, 2001 terror attacks, with ceremonies held in New York, at the Pentagon, and in the UK. Nearly 3,000 people were killed, including 67 Britons. At the Pentagon, President Trump gave remarks honouring the victims and pledging never to forget, and the US ambassador Warren Stephens laid a wreath in Grosvenor Square, praising British friendship.
The Princess of Wales made a private visit to the Royal Marsden Hospital, where she received cancer treatment, to meet senior staff and learn about how funds raised from her Three Peaks Challenge in June will support a new holistic wellbeing centre. She is joint patron of the hospital.
