— -- Your look at the five biggest and most buzz-worthy stories of the morning.

1. Biden Weighs in on 2016 Presidential Run: 'The Honest to God Answer is I Just Don’t Know'

Vice President Joe Biden has weighed in on the possibility of a 2016 presidential run Thursday night, telling an audience in Atlanta that he is unsure about pursuing the nation's highest office.

"The honest to God answer is I just don’t know,” Biden said when asked about 2016 during the Eizenstat lecture at the Ahavath Achim Synagogue in Atlanta.

The VP said he is still weighing whether he and his family have the “emotional energy” for another campaign -- especially after Biden's son Beau passed away.

2. Gay Couples Will Try to Wed as Defiant Clerk Sits in Jail

April Miller and Karen Roberts will return to the Rowan County Courthouse on Friday for the fifth time since June to ask for a marriage license.

Only this time, clerk Kim Davis will not be there to stop them. Instead, she will be sitting in jail, ordered there by a federal judge who found her in contempt for refusing to follow his order that she issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.

U.S. District Judge David Bunning offered to release Davis if she promised not to interfere with her employees issuing licenses, but she refused. She told the judge her mother-in-law pleaded with her to go to church from her deathbed four years ago. She did, converting to Christianity and the belief that gay marriage is a sin.

3. Bodies of Drowned Syrian Boys Returned Home for Burial

The Syrian man who survived a capsizing during a desperate voyage from Turkey to Greece has taken the bodies of his wife and two sons back to the Syrian Kurdish region they fled, to bury them in their hometown of Kobani.

The haunting image of the man's 3-year-old son, Aylan Kurdi, washed up on Turkish beach focused the world's attention on the wave of migration fueled by war and deprivation.

A convoy of vehicles crossed into Kobani from the Turkish border town of Suruc on Friday.

The Jacksonville, Florida mom -- who also is parent to two-year-old Audrey -- had a 30-week ultrasound that spotted that something unusual on her baby's brain. It was later found to be a large brain tumor.

"The doctor prepared us that this was really bad," Jones told ABC News. "The prognosis was very poor."
