 Rowen County clerk Kim Davis is out of jail where she spent nearly a week for contempt of court after she refused a federal judge's order to issue marriage licenses¹ to same-sex couples in Kentucky. Moments ago, Davis briefly² addressed supporters, some of who held a *. Just keep on pressing. Don't let they on because he is here. They were these, were they? I love you guys. Thank you so much. Sherry Lawson at a member station, WUNKU reports on the circumstances surrounding Davis's release. The US district judge who sent Davis to jail ordered her released saying he is satisfied that the Rowan county clerk's office is complying with orders to grant marriage licenses. Roger Ghana is the lead attorney with 'Liberty Counsel' representing Davis. This is an order * by the trial judge, judge David Bunning following a report from the plaintiffs that three out of the four plaintiff couples have received marriage licenses from Kim Davis's deputy clerks. The judge 's ordering Kim Davis not to interfere³ in any way with her deputy clerks while they issue marriage licenses to all legally eligible⁴ couples. Five of the six deputies have told Bunning that they will the licenses. From NPR news, I'm Sherry Lawson in northern Kentucky.

At the gathering⁵ outside the detention⁶ center in Kentucky, there were signs as well reading H for president. Republican MH who was seeking the GOP's presidential nomination⁷ was by Davis's side. He urges supporters to stand firm in their Christian⁸ faith. Another candidate Ted⁹ Cruise was also expected to visit with Davis. Three more US senators now say they will support the nuclear deal, the US another world power struck with Iran, RP of Connecticut，GP of Michigan and ER of Oregon. This means that the GOP senators may never get a chance to pass their resolution of disapproval¹⁰ and president Obama in turn wouldn't have to worry about veto again.NPR's AS waits through the senator * to explain. After weeks of keeping tabs on whether the president has enough support in the senate to sustain a veto. The target has shifted. It's no longer about overriding¹¹ or sustaining a veto. Now it's about whether Republicans will even be able to get the bill all the way to final passage in the senate. In parliamentary math terms, Republicans will need a total of 60 votes to get all the way to the finish line which they don't have. That doses't mean however that the round deal business has finished. The senate still intends to devote a big chunk¹² of floral time to the debate. AC, NPR news, the capital.

The late night landscape faces another seismic¹³ change tonight as Stephen Colbert debuts¹⁴ as host of CBS's The Late Show. NPR TV critic ED said Colbert's new show will likely feel familiar to late night TV fans. “It's taken nine months, load the viral videos and a jokey public spat¹⁵ was one of his first guesses, presidential candidate Jeb Bush.But finally, network TV's newest host is ready to say these words on his own show. 'Hi, I'm Steven Colbert. And I'll be hosting the late show on cibus. What's that? Oh, CBS.' Colbert takes over from a long time late night host David Letterman. He'll host the new late show from an upgraded version of the * theater in Manhattan. His guest today are John Ellis Jeb Bush. Colbert's late show is expected to follow a familiar talk show format¹⁶ with a monologue¹⁷ and a houseman.But this time, instead of playing a parody¹⁸ of a cable news anchor in comedy central, Colbert will play himself.” ED, NPR news.

European lawmakers are endorsing¹⁹ the idea of animal-cloning ban. They're also seeking a embargo²⁰ on imports of cloned animals and their offsprings with the leading opponents say many of cloned animals died in the first weeks and painfully. Lawmakers and EU nations are now negotiating a draft law to introduce such a ban.
