Jersey approves assisted-dying law, paving way for first legal deaths next summer

Jersey's parliament approved a law allowing terminally ill adults to end their own lives, with eligibility for unbearable suffering and a prognosis of six months (12 for neurodegenerative). The bill cleared its final stage with a 32-16 vote and now proceeds to Royal Assent; first legal deaths could occur as early as next summer. Jersey becomes the second Crown dependency to approve assisted dying after the Isle of Man; residency rules (12 months) apply and safeguards are in place, while the England/Wales debate continues.

"Adidas Halts Sale of Number 44 Jerseys Over Nazi Symbolism Concerns"

Adidas has halted the sale of German soccer jerseys featuring the number "44" due to its resemblance to a banned Nazi symbol in the uniform's new lettering, which closely resembles the "SS" emblem used by the Schutzstaffel. The German Football Association stated that the similarity was unintentional and an alternative design for the number 4 is being created. The jerseys, to be worn by Germany's team in the upcoming European soccer championships, are subject to strict numbering regulations, and Adidas had previously blocked the customization of certain names, such as "Hitler" or "Führer," on the jerseys.
