From Fox News, Trump's son in law gets his full security clearance back.

From NewsBusters, Trump's pro-life speech at a Susan B. Anthony List gala is largely ignored by the media.

From ANSA, European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker says that the E.U. will be "vigilant" on the rights of African migrants in Italy.  (If you read Italian, a related article in that language is also on ANSA, and was linked by The European Post.)

And from The Vergebeing a Whovian just got a lot easier.
