Euthanasia means doing something to cause a person’s death. DW Correspondent Nehal Johri travelled to Gujarat state to see for herself what prompted this petition.

Taiwan's security is routinely challenged by Chinese Air Force sorties into its Air Defense Zone. Each time this happens, the Taiwanese Air Force responds -- and one former navy radar operator monitors the encounter to keep the public informed. Taiwanese politicians have repeatedly expressed support for Hongkongers since the pro-democracy movement began. But unlike in many western countries, that sympathy did not turn into policy.

Inflation in the 19 countries of the eurozone soared to 8.1% in May from 7.4% in April. Prices have risen sharply in the past year, initially because of supply chain problems after the COVID pandemic but subsequently because of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Germany's inflation rate reached 7.9% in May, according to data published on Monday by the German statistical agency Destatis. Inflation in the eurozone — home to some 343 million people — is now at its highest since records for the currency began in 1997.
