Obama expands birth control accommodations for faith groups
The Obama administration announced new measures to let religious non profits and some companies opt out of paying for birth control while ensuring access for employees. Faith affiliated charities will notify the government of objections and insurers will cover contraception at no cost to the employer. Closely held for profit corporations may also transfer coverage duties away from the employer. Critics say the changes may not satisfy religious groups and remain legally contested.

Thai baby factory case draws multinational probe
Interpol says it launched a global inquiry into Mitsutoki Shigeta, a 24 year old Japanese businessman linked to 16 surrogacy babies and nine nannies in Bangkok. Police say 41 trips to Thailand since 2010 included travel to Cambodia, Japan, and India as investigators weigh human trafficking and child exploitation. Shigeta, not charged, has faded after a Bangkok raid that found two dozen babies and surrogate arrangements, while social services care for 12 in Thailand.
