 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.”

Britan's opposition 4 Labor 5 Party has elected a new leader, self-described Democratic socialist 6 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 vow 7 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 arsenal 8.
