Gordon Brown on assisted dying, Pendle Witches, 'God's Astronomer'

A look at the ethical and religious issues of the week with Julie Etchingham.

In an exclusive interview for 'Sunday', the former prime minister Gordon Brown speaks to Julie Etchingham about his opposition to assisted dying, ahead the MPs' vote this week.

And the Pope's astronomer Brother Guy Consolmagno has been delivering a lecture in Cambridge this week, hoping to lay to rest the perceived tension between science and faith.
