California lawmakers have approved a measure that legalized physician-assisted suicide. As Ben Adler of Capital Radio reports it's now up to the governor to sign it into the law. “It's not clear whether Jerry Brown will sign the end-of-life legislation. We do know that last year he spent about an hour on the phone with the young California woman named Britney Mernad who moved from California to Oregon to end her life using Oregon's assisted suicide law. If Brown does sign the measure, California would be the 6th state with a right-to-die law.”
A war of words between Hungary and Austria over the migrant crisis in Europe is
escalating1. The BBC's BB reports the Hungarian government is angry about comments made by Austria's

Britan's
opposition4 Labor5 Party has elected a new leader, self-described Democratic
socialist6 lawmaker Jeremy Corbyn. Corbyn was a 201 outsider when the race started three months ago, but as LM reports from London he won with nearly 60 percent of the vote. After the results, we announced Corbyn
vow7 to move to Britain to the political left. He campaigned on issues including ending austerity and increasing public spending, establishing rent controls, renationalizing the rail roads and eliminating Britain's marine-based nuclear
arsenal8. For his 42 years as a member of parliament, Corbyn has always been on the left of his left-wing party. So getting more moderate Labour lawmakers on board will be a challenge. From NPR news, I'm LM in London.

radar15, cameras and lasers to warn drivers they are about to cause a rearender collision, and it'll apply the brakes if the drives don't react quickly enough. DZ is with the intransit institute for highway safety. He says the technology is already proving itself. It can prevent some rear-front clashes when it doesn't manage to intervene in time to prevent a crash, it medicates the severity. Rearend crashes are rarely deadly but they are very common. 30 precent of all multi-vehicle accidents involved are rearend collision. From NPP news, I'm TS.
