Most of Friday’s front pages lead on the assisted dying bill, set for a last debate in the Commons ahead of a crucial vote on Friday afternoon. If passed, it will head to the House of Lords for scrutiny. The majority of the newspapers are in support of legalising assisted dying, several papers discuss the late U-turn from some Labour MPs, and the Daily Mail makes a case against legalising the bill.

The debate will be followed by a crucial vote, expected before 14:30 BST. If the vote passes, the bill progresses to the House of Lords; otherwise, it fails, and that’s the end of the process. The Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill would allow terminally ill adults with six months or less to live to get medical assistance to end their own lives.

Several of Friday’s UK front pages lead with Donald Trump’s announcement that he will wait two weeks before deciding on whether the United States military will enter the Israeli war in Iran. It allows room for discussions between the West and Iran as European leaders met with their Iranian counterparts to discuss nuclear weapons.

Trump wants Iran to get back to the negotiating table regarding their nuclear weapons programme, with the ultimatum that Iran needs to completely abandon its nuclear programme or face the might of the US military.

The Met Office has issued a yellow warning for thunderstorms from Saturday afternoon to early Sunday, affecting parts of England and Wales, with potential travel disruptions and flooding risks.

Friday’s newspaper front pages report on today’s assisted dying vote in the House of Commons. The vote will take place this afternoon after one more debate in the Commons. If passed, it will head to the House of Lords for scrutiny. Most of the papers are in support of the bill.
