  1. Eurosceptic EU member Denmark voted in a referendum Thursday to reject a government proposal to adopt the bloc's justice rules, amid concerns over handing more power to Brussels. The 'No' side received 53.1 percent of votes, while the 'Yes' camp garnered 46.9 percent, final results showed. "It is a clear no... I have full respect for the Danes' decision," Prime Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen said at a press conference.
