There is no more jessie-updates repository.  Just remove that line.

foo-updates is a repository that exists only while a stable release is
still supported and receiving point-release updates (like 8.3, 8.4, 8.5).
The foo-updates repository is a place where the updates that are GOING to
be in the next point release are available before the formal point release
happens.

Since jessie will never receive another point-release update, there is
no reason to have a jessie-updates repository.

So, the repository was removed, nuked, wiped out, obliterated, you have
no chance to survive make your time.

This could have been communicated or handled a bit more smoothly.
