This is CleftWorld's news section where we collate cleft-related news and stories from around the globe, from the regional to the international. If you know of any news stories that we've missed please let us know and we'll include them here.

To read the full story simply click on the 'View the Full Story' link and you will be re-directed to the website featuring the unabridged item.

The region that a news item or story stems from (or relates to) is indicated in the bottom right of the story panel where you will see either a city, country or both. These are links and by clicking on one of them ('USA' or 'Melbourne' for example) all news items and stories relating to that region will be collated on one page.

Finally, we need to mention that CW is a 'global' website catering for a global cleft community and as such we will report news and stories without political agenda though we will steer clear of inflammatory websites regardless of their affiliation.
