The original version of the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, which was first proposed by Labour MP Kim Leadbeater, ran out of time in the House of Lords this spring and failed to become law.

That was after over 1,000 amendments were proposed to it by critical peers.

Now, the bill has been brought back by Labour MP Lauren Edwards, with MPs set once again to vote on it on Friday.

Edwards told Sky News that she "felt a huge sense of responsibility to people...who had their hopes dashed by a very small number of unelected peers in the House of Lords".

And, while they backed the last version of the bill twice before, there's still a question mark over whether MPs will once again give it their sign-off.

Last time they voted for it - in what's known as third reading - it was only passed by a majority of 22 votes (down from 55 for the first vote, known as second reading).

Just 12 more MPs would have to change their minds and vote against it and the bill would fail. I've spoken to some MPs who are planning to do just that.

One other key thing is working against the bill this time. While the government is officially remaining neutral, last time it was a known quantity that Sir Keir Starmer was supportive of the bill.

But the new prime minister, Andy Burnham, has said that he thinks it's "very challenging" to introduce an assisted dying service before palliative care is improved and better funded. He's said he will abstain on the vote.

On the other side of the ledger, some MPs who previously voted against the bill are apparently thinking about whether to now back it. That's because they're so incensed by Lords blocking something that was passed by the democratically elected House of Commons.

The debate over choice

Labour MP Ashley Dalton has terminal breast cancer. She was a health minister when the bill was last in the Commons, so didn't speak out - but now, she's explaining why she's strongly against the bill.

"I understand the fear. Of facing your own death, I'm doing it every single day," she told Sky News.

"But what I also know is that what I might want or what any other individual might want, should that take precedence over creating an environment that puts very vulnerable people at risk? And I just can't see that that's right."

But campaigner Christie Arntsen, who also has terminal breast cancer, strongly supports the bill. She told Sky News that "from the minute I got diagnosed and understood what my prognosis was, I thought about the end of my life.

"I want very much to die as myself with dignity, with compassion. I don't want myself, or my family to see me have a bad death, or for me to go through a bad death."

The debate over safety

Questions have also mounted over the safety of the bill. None of the royal medical colleges or associations back the bill - some are neutral, and others are opposed.

Concerns include the framework used to assess whether someone has the mental capacity to seek an assisted death, as well as the services that would have to deliver assisted dying being under resourced.

Edwards said she is "really willing to engage with any of the professional medical bodies who have concerns and who want to talk about how they could be addressed in the bill...I think the law is really robust as currently drafted. Laws can always be improved, and I want to introduce the best law possible."

If the bill is passed by MPs once again, it's very likely to become law this time. That's because of the Parliament Acts, which say that the same bill, passed by the Commons in two consecutive sessions but rejected both times by the Lords, becomes law anyway.

Dalton is urging her fellow MPs to bear that in mind: "My message would be, don't rush it, is it adequate? Because you know what, you won't be able to change this. You can't, once this gets passed at the House of Commons, that's it."

But Edwards said it's "really important that we resolve this issue...if we don't support sending it back to the House of Lords so that it can continue the full normal parliamentary process, I think that we potentially will not be able to resolve this for years."

A statement from the peer was shared with the Electoral Dysfunction podcast, the first time Baroness Berger has responded to the sanctions announced by Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband.

It read: "We are now six weeks and five days away from the Israeli election that many have been waiting years for.

"The thing that could make the greatest material difference to changing the facts on the ground in Israel and actually improving prospects for peace - is to see the currently Israeli coalition replaced.

"The opposition leaders - such as Lapid - have come out to say this is deeply unhelpful.

"Israel's opposition parties have clearly indicated a change of direction in respect to the West Bank, including settlement outposts and extremist violence, and across a range of other issues.

"Yashar party chair Gadi Eisenkot - whose party is leading in the polls - has called the E1 settlement plan a 'mistake' and has condemned extremist settler violence.

"We have played straight into the right-wing coalition's hand. It advances Netanyahu's campaign and makes a potential Netanyahu victory more likely.

"It weakens the chances of the opposition winning."

On Tuesday, Mr Miliband announced that goods originating from illegal settlements in the West Bank would be subject to sanctions in the UK, with the announcement joined by other nations including France and Canada.

The move sparked anger in Israel and saw the British consulate in East Jerusalem closed.

"I regret what the Israeli government has announced, but I'm proud of what we did yesterday and it was the right thing to do," Mr Miliband told Sky News on Wednesday.

Reacting to the action, Harriet Harman told Sky News political editor Beth Rigby that it showed the "confident activism" of Andy Burnham's government.

She said: "I think one of the things that was said by all the cabinet ministers who'd been appointed by Starmer, and then actually called for him to go and wanted Andy Burnham to come in, is that he had the right principles and approach, but he didn't do things, that things got blocked and didn't actually happen."

On Sunday an RNLI boat carrying more than 100 migrants was denied access to the Port of Southampton and the Port of Portsmouth.

Associated British Ports (ABP), which operates Southampton, said there was not a "safety of life at sea issue where Southampton was the closest port", and reports have said the King's Harbour Master (KHM) Portsmouth declined a coastguard request.

Digital Secretary Lisa Nandy earlier on Tuesday said she was "personally concerned" about social media doxxing of volunteers - when a person's private information is shared online without their consent.

With tensions rising on the South Coast over migrant arrivals the charity put out a statement, which said: "Given the unacceptable abuse our people have faced, and with protest activity taking place at RNLI locations, we have taken action to help ensure the safety and well-being of our volunteers and staff.

"As well as enhancing security at RNLI locations, we issued guidance to our people earlier this week on how to keep themselves safe."

The statement added: "This guidance included how to manage potentially challenging interactions with members of the public, and where appropriate, choosing not to wear RNLI branded clothing.

"Our people have been reminded that their safety comes first, and they are encouraged to report relevant incidents internally and, where appropriate, to the police."

Vikki Slade, the Liberal Democrat MP for Mid Dorset and North Poole, where the RNLI is headquartered, described the situation as "absolutely shameful".

She told Sky News' Mark Austin that the abuse that RNLI volunteers had been faced with was "beyond belief" and called on the government to make it "really clear that the RNLI are [only] there to rescue and hand to the authorities".

On Wednesday, the RNLI said it was working "to understand the decision to deny access" to the boat carrying the migrants.

It added it was "disappointed with the nature of the communication" with its crew who "voluntarily give their time to save the lives of others at sea".

When the migrants were landed at Eastney in Portsmouth, anti-migrant protesters blocked road access to the port.

Police officers were injured and vehicles were damaged during the protest.

On Thursday, it was announced police chiefs have stepped up planning and intelligence-gathering ahead of the weekend after Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood warned anti-migration protesters are trying to intimidate communities.

Ms Mahmood said stronger police action was needed to deal with new tactics used by groups such as Patriot Platform earlier this week, after crowds also blocked road access to the Port of Dover on Saturday.

No arrests have been made in connection with either of the weekend's incidents.

But it is understood the government believes protesters wearing face coverings at the demonstration in Dover could have been arrested.

Ms Mahmood also made it clear she expects police to make full use of their powers to stop protesters wearing face coverings.

A group called "Portsmouth patriots" plans to march in the city on Saturday, where a counter-demonstration is also planned.

Ms Mahmood told police chiefs: "These scenes have caused disruption for people and, given that people are dressed in black wearing balaclavas, there is a fear factor and obvious malign intent being communicated to our residents.

"This makes it different from other protests, so we need to make sure we are learning lessons."

Emergency services were called to reports of an altercation in Bromley High Street in southeast London, just after 2pm on Thursday.

One person is in a critical condition while three others are receiving treatment for non-life-threatening injuries, according to the Metropolitan Police.

Forensic officers and a crime scene photographer were later seen working inside and outside the KFC restaurant on the High Street, and there were evidence markers on the floor.

A Scotland Yard spokesperson said: "At around 2.15pm on Thursday, 10 September, officers were called to reports of an altercation."

"Seven men were arrested and they all remain in custody. Police enquiries continue and there is not believed to be any wider threat to the public."

The London Ambulance Service confirmed that four patients were treated at the scene and then taken to hospital.

A LAS spokesperson said: "We sent ambulance crews, a paramedic in a fast response car, an incident response officer and an advanced paramedic. We also dispatched London's Air Ambulance."

A section of Bromley High Street was cordoned off, with an emergency vehicles nearby as forensic officers gathered evidence at the scene.

A KFC spokesperson said: "We can confirm that a serious incident took place this afternoon in our Bromley High Street restaurant.

"We are working with the police on their ongoing investigation. Our priority is supporting our team members and customers at this difficult time."

Peter Fortune, the MP for Bromley and Biggin Hill, said: "I am aware of the incident on Bromley High Street this afternoon and I know that residents will have safety concerns."

He added that he would remain in close contact with the police as they continue to investigate the incident.

Bromley Council described the incident as "absolutely appalling news" and thanked emergency services for their work "in the most difficult circumstances".

A section of the High Street was closed and traffic was slow around the area of the incident on Thursday afternoon and some bus routes were divereted, the AA said.

The vehicle overturned between the villages of Susch and Zernez in the Alpine canton of Graubuenden, and rescue teams were responding to the scene, authorities said.

Police did not specify the number of dead and injured.

According to Swiss media, 48 people including the driver and passengers, were on the bus at the time of the accident.
