Lawmakers in Britain gave initial approval to a bill to allow terminally ill adults to end their lives in England and Wales in a vote in the House of Commons on Friday.

British lawmakers have voted to allow assisted dying, a move set to make the UK one of a small handful of countries to allow terminally ill people to end their lives.

The news that MPs on Friday voted in favour of a bill on assisted dying in England and Wales dominates Saturday's front pages. The Daily Mirror has two sub headlines which jointly sum up the day - "Historic moment" and "Joy and sorrow as controversial bill passes first major hurdle".
