Q: Pakistan has shut down Save the Children's headquarters in Islamabad and given aid agency 15 days to leave the country after accusing it of spying. Police locked the gate of the charity's office in the capital last night, demanded employees leave and put up a notice saying the building was sealed. Acting on behalf of the Ministry of the Interior, officials added that the government wanted all foreign nationals working with the charity to leave Pakistan within 15 days. It was not immediately clear how many foreigners were currently working with Save the Children in Pakistan. The charity, which has been in Pakistan for over 35 years, has had run-ins with the government since 2011, when it was linked to Shakil Afridi, a Pakistani doctor recruited by the CIA to help in the hunt that led to the killing of Osama bin Laden in Abbottabad.Police arrived at charity headquarters last night and told all staff to leaveOfficers then locked the gate of the office and sealed off the premisesAllegedly acting on behalf of the Ministry of the Interior, the officials then told foreign workers they must all leave the country within 15 daysSave the Children has been add odds with Pakistani politicians since 2011Charity was said to have been linked to a Pakistani doctor recruited by the CIA in the hunt to find Osama bin Laden, who was killed in Abbottabad

Q: Washington (CNN) As the Senate prepares to vote this week on Neil Gorsuch's nomination, it's unclear yet whether Republicans will have enough votes to end an expected Democratic filibuster. Republicans, who have a 52-48 majority, need a total of eight Democrats to get to 60 -- the critical number required to end the filibuster. If they don't reach 60, they can still get around that filibuster, but it would require taking a highly controversial step to change the Senate rules, a move also known as the nuclear option. RELATED: Here's where Republicans stand on the nuclear option Republicans already have three Democrats who will vote with them to end the filibuster, so they need five more of the remaining eight undecided Democrats -- as of Sunday -- to do the same and reach that 60 number.Republicans need at least give more Democrats to help them confirm Neil Gorsuch under current rulesThe GOP has three Dems, but they've only got nine undecideds left to choose from as of Sunday 
 Question:Here's a look at the nine undecided _ and what they've said recently about Gorsuch:.

Q: BURLINGTON, VERMONT (CNN) Bernie Sanders, the man who is leading in New Hampshire and giving Hillary Clinton a run for her money in Iowa, is coming to terms with a new reality: The media is taking him seriously. Since launching his campaign last May, Sanders has received vastly less media attention than his chief Democratic opponent, while his chances of becoming the party's nominee were largely dismissed by pundits and commentators — despite the fact that, like a certain senator before him, he draws far larger crowds, boasts a remarkably enthusiastic volunteer base, and, though he doesn't have as much money as Clinton, set an all-time record with more than 2.3 million campaign contributions last year.The press has given Sanders scant coverage when compared to Hillary ClintonThe Vermont senator is neck-and-neck in Iowa and leading in New Hampshire 
 Question:The media acknowledged the large crowds, but the _ campaign felt that pundits came up with endless ways to dismiss their importance.
