Good Morning Australia!! - No right turn in Austria - Thousands rally for tolerance in Jakarta - US Greens don't back down, as reported earlier - And more in your CareerSpot Global News Briefs:

Voters in Austria rejected a far right candidate for president for the second time this year, in a contest widely viewed as a test of xenophobic and Islamophobic forces that have risen to power in other parts of eastern Europe such as Hungary and Poland.  This confirms the election of 72-year-old former Green Party leader Alexander Van der Bellen, who asked "all Austrians to stick together and to work together".  Van der Ballen was actually elected in May, but the courts ordered a new election over procedural grounds.  Norbert Hofer, the 45-year-old leader of the ironically-named far-right "Freedom Party", conceded the election via social media.

Desperately seeking to change the subject from his multi-billion dollar 1MDB Corruption Scandal, Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak all of a sudden cares about Myanmar's oppressed Rohingya Muslim minority.  At a rally, Mr. Najib called on the United Nations, the International Criminal Court and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation to stop "genocide" and "ethnic cleansing".  Myanmar's young democracy has warned that Malaysia is potentially violating the Association of Southeast Asian Nations' (ASEAN) principle of non-interference in other members' internal affairs.  The plight of the Rohingya is a touchy subject in Myanmar:  Nobel Peace Prize laureate Aung San Suu Kyi is trying to steer the country towards democracy after decades of military rule, but has declared the Rohingya issue off-limits in international discussions.

Tens of thousands of Indonesians came out for a Tolerance Rally in downtown Jakarta, to counter the angry protests by hard-line Muslims who are demanding the ouster of Jakarta's Governor Basuki "Ahok" Tjahaja Purnama, a Christian and member of the ethnic Chinese minority.  National political leaders delivered speeches on national unity, which "will not happen if we are scattered, blaspheming, humiliating each other and no longer trust each other," according to National Democratic Party chairman Surya Paloh, an ally of President Joko Widodo.  Governor Ahok is facing blasphemy charges over quoting the Koran.

Afghan President Ashraf Ghani alleges that the Taliban could not exist without Pakistan's support.  Afghanistan's ties with neighbor Pakistan have strained as "some still provide sanctuary in support or tolerate" armed militants who shelter in northern Pakistan's lawless valleys in between strikes across the border.  At the Heart of Asia meeting in India, Mr. Ghani is calling for an international fund to combat extremism.

US Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein now plans to "escalate" her statewide election recount efforts in Pennsylvania through a federal lawsuit; that's a reversal from earlier in the weekend when Dr. Stein said she would have to drop it due to costs.  "On Monday, I will escalate #Recount2016 in PA and file to demand a statewide recount on constitutional grounds.  The people deserve answers," she tweeted.  The Greens are seeking recounts in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin - all states where fascist demagogue Donald Trump very unexpectedly beat Democrat Hillary Clinton, winning the US electoral college to become president-elect, while losing the popular vote by more than 2,000,000 ballots.  

Investigators in Oakland, California raised the warehouse fire's death toll to 24 lives lost, making it one of the deadliest structure fires in the United States in the last decade.  There were still about ten people unaccounted for by Sunday morning.  People who frequented the "Ghost Ship" warehouse, which was used as an artists' and musicians' space and to host raves, describe it as a deathtrap:  the two-storey structure was packed with old wooden furniture, shipping pallets, vintage carpets and fabrics hanging from the walls and ceilings.  But the worst part was that it was all arranged in a maze pattern with few windows and doors, no designated fire exits nor alarms.

Fidel Castro's ashes have been laid to rest in a family plot in Santiago de Cuba in the island nation's east.  His brother President Raul Castro said Fidel's policy of forbidding statues in his honor will continue, at the request of the late leader who "strongly opposed any manifestation of cult of personality".  Raul also promised "to defend the fatherland and Socialism".
