it's seven-pm in london - this is the world today with caitriona perry. mps vote to legalise assisted dying in england and wales - the biggest social reform in a generation is now likely to become law. iranian rockets injure twenty in haifa - while israeli jets bomb nuclear sites around tehran - as the conflict enters its second week. how are israel and iran's neighbours responding to the conflict? we'll be assessing the reaction from across the region. rescuers in gaza say israeli forces have killed at least 43 palestinians - many while they were waiting for food. also coming up on the world today.

loving labubu - we'll tell you about the furry favourite that's become the latest must-have toy accessory. welcome to the world today, an hour of international news from the bbc. in a historic move, mps have voted to legalise assisted dying in england and wales. the bill passed by just 23 votes, after several hours of emotional debate. mps were given a free vote, meaning they could follow their own personal beliefs. the bill now moves to the house of lords, and if it passes there, it could be 2029 before assisted dying is made available in england. under the bill, adults

who want to end their life must: be terminally ill, with no more than 6 months to live; and have the mental capacity to make the choice, free from coercion and pressure. patients must make two separate declarations about their wish to die,with two doctors and an expert panel assessing the application. if that application is approved, a doctor would prepare the substance required to end life - but the person must take it themselves. our first report is from our political editor chris mason. dignity, the individual. and yes, life and death. those of us make it to that point in our lives where we know we are near the very end and we are suffering intolerably, i think it is the only compassionate

thing is to offer the choice. i just do not feel it is the answer and i really don't, i think we should be supporting people in life and not giving them assisted suicide, which is what it really amounts to. nine years ago this week, the labour mp was murdered in the streets. today, her sister led the argument for a profound but controversial social change. benjamin franklin toward us in this world, nothing can be said to be certain except death and taxes. and in this house, we debate the latter incessantly but here in the country as a whole, discussing death is something we tend to shy away from. that in a solemn and thoughtful way to change here today and this was the core argument. this is not the choice between living and dying it's the choice between terminally ill people as to how they die. with 20 or

unconvinced, worried about coercion and vulnerable, the elderly reach of authority. we already have the power to end our own lives, it is called suicide, it is not a crime, it is not been a crime in this country for decades. this is a different power. this is the power of the state through its agents to exercise power over life and death. there is no doubt that if this bill is passed in its current form, people will lose their lives who do not need to and they will be amongst the most vulnerable and marginalised in our society. for others, advocating change came after grimm personal experience. personal agency over the dignified death comes from the heart. the labour mp spoke about her brother david and his

diagnosis of pancreatic cancer, watch the two codes behind her wipe away tears. i have done right by my brother by speaking here today. what david needed was a humane, safe and trusted process available to him at home. that would give him agency over his last weeks and months. that is what this bill offers. but hang on, said critics, some might benefit, others would not. how many lives taken in error is too many? one, one and ten, one in a hundred? this house clearly supports the principal of an assisted death as does the public but not at any cost. but it was arguments like this next one which unbalance, commanded the majority. we honour life by

giving it meaning and power in the one thing that dying people ask for and their agonising final moments is control over the disease that is destroying them. next, the results. the eyes to the right, 314. the nose to the left, 291,. afterwards, the immediate reaction. yum! is the anniversary of my sister's murder that brought me here and if good people do not step forward, what do we end up with? even though some of us feel quite out of place, we're here to make a difference and we are here to do positive important change that society asks us to do. for some opponents, the argument is not over? the unelected chamber to reject this entirely given the common have endorsed it? it was a manifesto for me other

parties, the son of the support officially of the government and i think that if the bill was on welcome, they will push it back -- unwelcome, they would push it back. the debate continues but a change of the law is now likely, perhaps very likely. for many who campaigned on this issue, it has been years of work. our medical editor fergus walsh has been finding out how people are feeling after the result. look with this vote means to campaigners for assisted dying, like christie and elise were both terminally ill with breast cancer. i am absolutely so happy, i cannot tell you. this makes such a difference to the future of people who have terminal illness in the someone with an incurable cancer, i

need every single day thinking about the end of my life and often that is about how i'm going to end it myself and in future, people will have the choice, they won't have to think like i do every day. i was completely overwhelmed. so much suffering and pain for the so many people and families. you're going to join, what do you help this law might come in in time for you to take advantage of it? i very much hope so. i hope reality, still, i am just so delighted. as cheers came from supporters, it became clear to opponents that devoted past. some campaigners here represented disability groups. obviously, we are disappointed. it really is unimaginable to us that we are thinking about enshrining a state-funded right to die for

people like me who have a disability that is classified as terminal illness have a real ability to live and get the supports we need, is that where we are? will fight to the house of lords for a better safeguard for a safer bill and perhaps her to get thrown out altogether. it devalues disabled peoples lives against the backdrop of failing systems and the lack of funding comes through government, lack of access to that, lack of social care, lack of access to the nhs services the people need, this all of a sudden becomes a very intransitive option and that is not a choice, that is coercion. this is a hugely significant vote, which will have profound implications for society, it sets england and wales on course to join a growing list of countries which have legalised some form of assisted

dying in the past decade, including spain, australia, new zealand and canada. for supporters, this is about autonomy and choice at the end of life, opponents fear it will lead to coercion and place the vulnerable and disabled at greater risk. campaigners on both sides will keep seeking to persuade parliament but today's vote means assisted dying now really looks like it is becoming a reality. let's speak to our political correspondent now, it has been passed by the house of commons, the lower chamber in august about house of lords were it will follow a similar process and it will be introduced, it will be debated, as it stands in the lords

themselves can introduce new amendments and it is certain that they will and so, we have been hearing from disability rights campaigners and others that they do not think the safeguards in this is strong enough and that they will seek to amended. you're not hearing voices sing their tradable clock this completely, they'll be a very big to the lords to take but it isn't the sort of government bill, it was not in the manifesto, is a private bill brought by a single mp and slightly unusual sort of legislation to, but in the law itself, if they add amendment, they will go back to the house of commons who will have a vote at that stage in the supporters of the bill say that they're confident that they this will proceed and go through and they think it will happen or should happen in the space of this

year but there be a four year up to four year period of implementation which everything will be put in place for this to happen in practice. is there a chance the support does slip a little? 23 votes in a 55 margin. the opponents of the bill pointed that and they say there's been slips in the processes it has gone along in the other side says support of the bill is what you saw today was the biggest, sort of, this affirms that were the house of commons go ahead with this and that reflects over public opinion support and so, i think what we may see though is those who are concerned focusing on specific issues and the specific issues will be for disabled people and protections are disabled people so they do

not feel pressured into this and the types of this are minorities, disadvantaged, who have disadvantage positions in society and therefore, the worst health outcomes, worse treatment from the health service and they might themselves required to take up retired dying if offered and the third thing about anorexia and concerns that people were anorexic, they may be able to slip through the net but the support of the bill says no, real safeguards are in place, there are many arguments to come, what you think.

attacks continue on both sides in the military since it's at dozens of targets in iran the what to describe as missile manufacturing sites in the area. sites in the tehran area. in israel, an iranian missile struck a technology park in the southern city of beersheba. lucy williamson sent the latest from tel aviv. iran is now firing its missiles into donald trump's window for negotiation. state television showing the launches fired at israeli cities each day. this morning in beersheba, a security camera caught the moment of impact. this apartment block, the latest civilian building to be hit. a family filmed picking their way out barefoot through the debris, holding the family pets. i would like us support, uk support, whoever can

support us, it will help. it's not easy to fight alone. this is how i feel, that we are the only ones fighting. but it's ok. we are the front line and we have to stay strong. israel said iran had planned a much larger barrage this morning, but that israeli strikes destroyed three of its launchers before they could fire, along with a nuclear research base in tehran and several other targets. iranians in tehran today protested against israel's continuing attacks. "we're here to prove that we fear no-one," this woman said. "it's you whose people are hiding in shelters. we must keep going until israel and america are utterly humiliated and brought to their knees." iran's foreign minister accused israel of war crimes. we were attacked in the midst of an ongoing diplomatic process. we were supposed to meet with the americans on 15th june to craft a very promising agreement. it was a betrayal of diplomacy. this afternoon, another wave of iranian missiles hit several israeli cities.

one landing in haifa, home to a major naval port. donald trump has given tehran a window to surrender. each iranian retaliation risks pushing him further towards joining the war. lucy williamson, bbc news, tel aviv. we saw the iranian foreign minister in lucy's report and after addressing the un forum, foreign minister abbas araghchi held a meeting with european foreign ministers, also in geneva. the talks, which have just finished, have been an effort to try to find a diplomatic

solution to the conflict. britain, germany, france and the eu's top diplomat kaja kallas were there for the meeting. these have been the first face-to-face talks between tehran and western governments since israel launched its attacks on iran last week. what your expectation of what could come out of these talks we've heard from the various foreign ministers they have left, including the uranian foreign ministers. -- iranian stop till expectations are high as for anyone on this planet as to this war and it may have dire consequences for all of us because of the problem with the nuclear sites that may be bombed and also because of the involvement in the major nations and i think we're the

best as a qualified and when i say we, that is the europeans, the two countries they carry the negotiations in 2015 is the uk, france and germany were trusted by the iranians as proper negotiators and more so than donald much broader than the nuclear programme and now is the time to try to seek that border on bigger issues? error on disposing a threat and existential one -- iran and maybe the rest of the world as well because iran has been involved in allowed terrorist attacks supported terrorist groups and is to make sure that

in negotiations and key members in 2015, it was the europeans who hardened the agreement that was then signed by iranians and we have to try to push as much as we can to secure israel, force but the dismantling of the nuclear programme and also to go much further because this could be the 3h, hamas, houthis and we ought to see what they agree to and keep americans in the loop so they

stay involved. thank you for joining us on bbc news. while europe's foreign ministers have been trying towards war, ramifications for those countries with direct borders to iran and israel have an even keener interest - and alarm at the conflict. thousands of people have been rallying in tehran, beirut - and these pictures are from baghdad - after weekly friday prayers to protest israel's strikes on iran, chanting slogans against israel and its main backer, the united states. with me is mina al-oraibi - editor-in-chief at the the national news publication based in abu dhabi. let's look at a map of the region first.

as we've been reporting two weeks in and iran and israel are still firing missiles back and forth. we've seen another salvo of missiles fired into northern israel just in the past few hours. and those missiles passing over neighbours that share borders - countries like jordan and iraq. and another neighbour lebanon - home to the iranian proxy, lebanon. lots to talk about their and that in first, just stick a broad picture for us, how dangerous of the moment is this for the region? incredibly dangerous. there are many unknowns in addition to the ongoing war between iran and israel, they are now at war even if it is not declared as such, but also what the ratifications can be if this is a protracted war or if the united states decides to enter the war formally and is dangerous also because of the risk of contamination, of course, today we are very

strong words from the head of the international atomic energy agency for nuclear contamination, god forbid, worse case scenario but wars can get out of hand and can start very differently to how it ends not only the human impact conference on the israelis but also the wider region, the palestinians continue to suffer in the war on gaza has not stopped and concerned about energy, you venture map out there there is the international waters and of course neighbouring countries and jordanian sentencing missiles go up in the air and concerns about that and there are the poor where is ron supporters are now supporting this in illustrated between israel and iran and things could continue to

ramp up. should the us get involved in some damage to nuclear enrichment facilities, what is their view of? the gulf countries of spoken with one voice containing the attack on iran. there incredibly concerned, you had some clear statements from countries like saudi arabia and the uae being very active and vocal, kuwait has the nonpermanent security council seat at the un and they've muscle spoken today about the need to make sure it is a de-escalation it is very clear that the decision is that they do not want them to get into this war because i will broaden the scope of the war and it is still good to see how it ends. these are very clear points and the threats of the risks are there that we see that we've just been talking about but there's also the wider concern that this cannot end diplomatically if the military build-up continues in the way that we have seen. on the diplomatic point, this

speaking to the foreign ministers, is there a simultaneous kind of system going with the foreign ministers in the region. absolutely come on different levels, these conversations, hosting talks between iranians and the americans up until his search of the strikes they did against iran and so money, everyone speaking behind the scenes and to all sites from officials that spoken to spent all sites in the head of the abraham records and other gulf countries may not have that and they'll continue to try to use that to de-escalate and everyone is speaking to the americans to make sure that they calculate the next moves very carefully and war has never been a good thing and never leads to any good outcome of the indus by the fact that there are very serious concerns about the reigning regime and i think it's important for people to not escalate this war and ok

are pass for whatever iranians do come we just
