Work under way to reclass chemical found in cannabis
A proposed law change could see a chemical found in cannabis products reclassed as a Class B substance.Deputy Tom Binet, minister for Health and Care, said the Misuse of Drugs Advisory Council had advised "Cannabinol and cannabinol derivatives be rescheduled from Class A to Class B within the Misuse of Drugs (Jersey) Law 1978".He was answering a written question by Deputy Inna Gardiner who was following up on a 2024 call for the decriminalisation of cannabis use. Binet said moves to make reclassification possible "were issued on 12 May".Cannabinol can be found in products like cannabis oil, which is used by some people who say it manages pain and improves sleep.
"Law drafting is under way and is currently envisaged that the draft Amendment Order will be finalised later this summer," Binet added."Conversations with stakeholders regarding the operational actions required by the reclassification are also under way and progressing well."

Students offered free rape test kits
Students are being offered free rape test kits to collect and store the DNA of alleged attackers in an effort to combat sexual violence on university campuses. The set includes a swab for alleged victims to use on themselves at home and then send to a testing company, which freezes some of the genetic material in case they decide to report an attack to the police and need physical evidence. However, the creators of the initiative said its main aim was to act as a deterrent to non-consensual sex, because it would mean that any student would know that 'if you don't get consent, your DNA could stay on file'. Katie White, co-founder of not-for-profit organisation Enough, said: 'A lot of people see it as like the breathalyser. The existence of it prevents what it is designed to measure.' Ms White and fellow co-founder Tom Allchurch have piloted the initiative at the University of Bristol, where 8,000 students have been provided with the kits. The pair, who left their jobs to launch the venture with £100,000 from donors, are in talks with other universities, as well as police and crime commissioners, to run similar pilots in other cities. They said it was not a 'criminal justice' alternative to reporting a rape or sexual assault to the police – which users are advised to do if that is their intent. Instead, the duo said it was designed to provide an avenue for 'social justice' where victims report a potential offence that they might otherwise not take any further. The swab, similar to a Covid test pack, comes with a free post envelope to send to a lab which tests half the sample and freezes the remainder. Each student receives a number and DNA result, telling them if the material is male or female, but otherwise all details are anonymous. Each alleged victim is also provided with an encrypted digital account in which they can write down what happened, which could provide contemporaneous evidence if they subsequently decide to report a sexual assault to police. 'Most people who go to the police go a week afterwards,' said Ms White. Students are also advised to consider a checklist of actions such as taking pregnancy and sexual disease tests, while they are further offered access to online therapy videos by an established clinical specialist. Alleged victims are also given the opportunity to make an anonymous statement which can be publicised on social media. Ms White said: 'Ninety per cent of students don't report [sexual violence], they want to forget what happened and move on, rather than feel like they are turning it into a bigger deal. 'Many can be put off by... [the wait for a] trial, on average over two years. They know conviction rates are low, and they also fear that their friends may not believe them.' During the pilot scheme in Bristol, 200 students reported assaults or rapes, compared with just two who reported attacks to the university during the same time frame the previous year. Ms White said others had used the scheme to check if they had been a victim of date rape. A survey of Bristol students found 90 per cent knew about Enough, 70 per cent said they felt it had prevented sexual violence, and 86 per cent said they would report a rape to Enough. Ms White added: 'It is not about replacing criminal justice. It's complementary to it. The only thing that it is an alternative to is inaction. 'We not going to break this cycle of rape and sexual violence going up unless we have a form of reporting that victims are comfortable with and perpetrators feel threatened by.'

Eddie Hearn reveals dad Barry suffered heart attack at League One play-off clash then went to boxing days later
BARRY HEARN suffered a heart attack during Leyton Orient's play-off clash with Stockport last month, his son Eddie has revealed. But amazingly, the veteran promoter was back on his feet in time to attend the Dave-Allen Johnny Fisher fight just a week later. 5 5 Hearn, 77, felt discomfort early on in Orient's semi-final first-leg and had to be taken to hospital. The snooker supremo subsequently had a third stent installed, having suffered two previous heart attacks. Reliving the ordeal in a conversation with Boxing Social, Matchroom chief Eddie Hearn said of his dad: "He's fine. Obviously it's always very scary, that kind of thing. It was at the Orient match. It will do that to you, Leyton Orient. "Five minutes in and he said 'I'll just see out the game'. Unfortunately he had to go down to the doctors and get taken to hospital, he had a heart attack. "He had another stent. He's had three stents now, three heart attacks." Hearn made a remarkably quick recovery, heading to East London's Copper Box Arena just seven days later to witness Dave Allen's knockout of the year contender against Johnny Fisher. Eddie continued: "As far as he's concerned he's brand new now. He played cricket at the weekend for Essex Over-70s. He scored 60. "It actually happened the weekend before the Johnny Fisher fight, so it was back in May, and he went to the Johnny Fisher fight, five days after the heart attack." BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK 5 Hearn, who turned 77 yesterday, was determined to get back on his feet quickly, with Eddie adding: "On the Monday he had a stent put in to his artery. Tuesday they let him out. So he gets back home Tuesday. "So I'm like 'right, well you won't be coming to the Johnny Fisher fight'. He says 'no I'm f***ing coming to the Johnny Fisher fight'. "No, what are you doing? 'I'm not missing the Johnny Fisher fight!' I said 'dad, chill out'. He goes 'I'm not living my life like that, I've had a new stent, I'm brand new.' "That's what you're dealing with. When he goes, he's actually 77 today, my dad, it could be next week, or it could be in 10 years, you just never know when your time's up. "But you will be able to say he lived to the absolute max of his life. And that's a great thing to be able to say." Orient went on to beat Stockport and book a place in the League One play-off final. Ahead of the Wembley clash with Charlton, Barry revealed to SunSport that O's' play-off final defeat to Rotherham 11 years ago left him needing therapy. Britain's leading sports promoter told SunSport: "I've been paying for therapy ever since that day against Rotherham! "I get nightmares about it. This is my opportunity to cleanse myself, take away my therapist bills, go back to normal sleep patterns." Unfortunately for Hearn, who sold the East London club in 2014, Orient were beaten 1-0 by Charlton under the Wembley arch.

MPs switch sides to vote no to ‘drastically weakened' assisted dying Bill
Four MPs have confirmed they are switching their vote on the assisted dying Bill from yes to no, branding it 'drastically weakened'. Labour's Paul Foster, Jonathan Hinder, Markus Campbell-Savours and Kanishka Narayan wrote to fellow MPs to voice concerns about the safety of the proposed legislation. The letter comes on the eve of a crucial vote on Friday which would see the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill either clear the House of Commons and move to the Lords, or fall completely. The MPs wrote: 'The Bill presented to MPs in November has been fundamentally changed. 'This is not the safest Bill in the world. It is weaker than the one first laid in front of MPs and has been drastically weakened. 'MPs were promised the ultimate protection from a High Court Judge but that protection is missing from the final Bill.' They said colleagues with 'any doubts about the safety of this Bill' should 'join us tomorrow and vote against it'. As it stands, the proposed legislation would allow terminally ill adults in England and Wales, with fewer than six months to live, to apply for an assisted death, subject to approval by two doctors and a panel featuring a social worker, senior legal figure and psychiatrist. While the MPs cited the replacement of a High Court safeguard with the expert panels, Bill sponsor Kim Leadbeater has insisted the change is a strengthening of the legislation, incorporating wider expert knowledge to assess assisted dying applications. But concerns around the panels have also been raised by the Royal College of Psychiatrists (RCPsych), which announced in recent weeks that it has 'serious concerns' and cannot support the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill in its current form. The college's lead on assisted dying for England and Wales, Dr Annabel Price, expressed worry there will not be 'enough space or time to carry out proper, holistic assessments', and that the only involvement on a panel being to check decisions made by others 'is deeply troubling'. The relatively narrow majority of 55 from the historic yes vote in November means every vote will count on Friday. While acknowledging there could be some change in the numbers, Bill sponsor Kim Leadbeater has insisted she remains confident it will pass the third reading stage and move on to be considered by peers in the Lords. Speaking on Thursday, she said: 'There might be some small movement in the middle, some people might maybe change their mind one way, others will change their mind the other way but fundamentally I don't anticipate that that majority would be heavily eroded so I do feel confident we can get through tomorrow successfully.' Ms Leadbeater has insisted her Bill is 'the most robust piece of legislation in the world' and has argued dying people must be given choice at the end of their lives in a conversation which has seen support from high-profile figures including Dame Esther Rantzen. Making her case for a change in the law, she said: 'I know that many colleagues have engaged very closely with the legislation and will make their decision based on those facts and that evidence, and that cannot be disputed. 'But we need to do something, and we need to do it quickly.' A YouGov poll of 2,003 adults in Great Britain, surveyed last month and published on Thursday, suggested public support for the Bill remains high at 73% – unchanged from November. The proportion of people who feel assisted dying should be legal in principle has risen slightly, to 75% from 73% in November. MPs are entitled to have a free vote on the Bill, meaning they decide according to their conscience rather than along party lines. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has indicated he will continue to back the Bill, as he did last year, saying earlier this week that his 'position is long-standing and well-known' on assisted dying. Health Secretary Wes Streeting, while describing Ms Leadbeater's work on the proposed legislation as 'extremely helpful', confirmed in April that he still intended to vote against it. Ms Leadbeater has warned it could be a decade before assisted dying legislation returns to Parliament if MPs vote to reject her Bill on Friday.
