Earlier this week, the Isle of Man became the first place in the British Isles to approve assisted dying legislation.

On Tuesday (25 March), the Legislative Council voted to accept the House of Keys' changes to Dr Alex Allinson's proposals.

In this special Newscast, we hear from campaigners Vicky Christian - Chair of the Isle of Man branch of My Death, My Decision - and Sue Biggerstaff - who has been campaigning in her late husband's name for Dignity in Dying.

Siobhán Fletcher got their reactions after the news broke.
