Presented by Martha Kearney



From Martha Kearney:

Debbie Purdy has won a landmark judgement today in the House of Lords.

The MS sufferer wanted to know whether her husband would be prosecuted if he helped her to die.

Now the Director of Public Prosections, Keir Starmer QC, has to explain on what basis he decides whether to bring charges in cases of assisted dying.

He will be joining me on tonight's programme, along with Lord Falconer, who tried to get the law changed to make assisted dying easier, and Baroness Finlay who is worried that elderly people could feel under pressure to take their own lives

We will also have a special undercover investigation into the exploitation of cleaners in some of London's top hotels.

We have also sent in an expert on cleaning whose tests show some horrifying results.

And on the day of the funeral of Henry Allingham, the last survivor of the Battle of Jutland, we will be discussing the legacy of the World War I for British life.

My guests will be Andrew Motion, the former poet laureate and Andrew Roberts, the military historian.

So do tune in to see me back down the "hard end" of the studio.

Makes a change from the sofa.

All the best,

Martha
