Five news stories you should care about because we said so.

1. Trump will visit Saudi Arabia and Israel on his first foreign trip. Look forward to plenty of awkward handshakes. More here.

2. Prince Philip, AKA The Duke of Edinburgh, announced his retirement from public engagements. The man is 95 years old, so it’s about time. More here.

3. Bombay Sapphire gin has been recalled for having almost double the alcohol content. Better snatch up some bottles before they’re gone. More here.

4. Pulse nightclub will become an official memorial to the 49 shooting victims of last year’s attack. More here.

5. French presidential candidate Marine Le Pen was egged on the campaign trail in Brittany. Funny, but the French election this Sunday is no yoke (we’re so sorry). More here.
