TODAY IN 10

Clinton and Trump: One&#8217;s disliked, the other historically despised: The 2016 election is likely to pit Hillary Clinton, who is disliked by a majority of voters, against Donald Trump, disliked by a greater majority of voters.

The new initiative is sometimes in direct conflict with good Samaritan laws, which protect addicts from being charged if they call 911 when a fellow user is overdosing. Full story

Italy may be the next big migrant route: Now that strict European border controls are shutting down the main migrant route in Greece, there are fears that a scenic gorge in the Alps will become a funnel for the next wave of desperate people.

More fallout for Penn State regarding Jerry Sandusky and Joe Paterno: The university confirmed Sunday that its payouts to alleged victims of sexual abuse by former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky cover incidents that date from 1971, the Associated Press reported.
