Supporters of the assisted dying bill, gathered outside parliament, celebrate as they learn that MPs have voted in favour of the bill, a historic step towards allowing euthanasia for terminally ill people. Lawmakers in the lower House of Commons chamber voted 314 in favour to 291 against to advance the proposal to the upper House of Lords for further scrutiny and votes following four hours of emotional debate.
