Labour MP Paul Foster, who voted for the bill at second reading, called the change a "game changer" and said he was reconsidering his support.Foster told the BBC he will now wait until he sees the full bill before deciding whether to vote against it after committee stage.Under Leadbeater's proposal, the panel reviewing each application would be chaired by a senior legal figure, but not necessarily a judge, and would also include experts such as psychiatrists and social workers. Their decision could, if necessary, be reviewed by the High Court.

The panels would be chosen by a Voluntary Assisted Dying Commission, led by a High Court judge or senior former judge.The commission would oversee all cases for an assisted death and report annually on the number of applications and how many were approved and rejected.

Ministers and officials have been closely consulted on the change, although the government technically remains neutral on the bill. Civil servants are drafting the amendment, which will be published later this week.

Leadbeater argued this was not removing judicial scrutiny but changing it to a "judge plus" model."It's also interesting to see the paper's findings that climate models likely under-estimate the changes seen so far, but even those models suggest a doubling of the volatility for a global temperature warming of 3C – now looking increasingly likely we'll reach."

The new study adds to the growing body of evidence that a warmer climate has altered the background conditions to the raging wildfires currently burning around Los Angeles.Much of the Western US including California experienced a decades-long drought that ended just two years ago.

The resulting wet conditions since then have seen the rapid growth of shrubs, grasses and trees, the perfect fuel for fires.However, last summer was very hot and was followed by dry autumn and winter season with almost no rain - downtown Los Angeles has only received 0.16 inches of rain since October, more than four inches below average.
