Good Morning Australia!! - Could the London Fire death toll exceed 100?  The world gets its first look inside the devastated tower - Boris Johnson's callous words on fire protection came back to haunt him - Russians troll Putin as Putin trolls the US - A young America suffered profound brain damage while in North Korea - And more in your CareerSpot Global News Briefs:

The death toll in the Grenfell Tower fire in west London is now 17 lives lost, and the London Fire Brigade is still warning it's going to get worse - they hope the death toll be will less than 100.  The inspection of the burned-out 24 storey high rise council flats could take months, and getting a handle on how many bodies could still be inside is proving difficult.  The brigade passed out the first photo of the inside of the building, showing a devastated apartment kitchen and flames still burning as of Thursday.

It's believed 400 to 600 people lived there.  Metropolitan Police Commander Stuart Cundy says hundreds of inquiries about the tower's residents have come in, and one boy has been reported missing 46 times.  Six bodies were recovered outside the building, while eleven have been located inside but cannot be removed.  30 people are still in hospital, 15 in a critical condition.

Because of the intensity of the fire, it could be that some will never be identified. 

Criticism is building over the UK government's handling of the Grenfell Tower disaster.  Opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn and Prime Minister Theresa May visited the scene, but to completely different impacts.  Mr. Corbyn met with families, hugged the grieving and the worried, and listened to their stories about missing loved ones.  Senior Labour pols are backing his call to temporarily requisition empty houses in the area to relocate the displaced.

The Prime Minister paid a low key visit, keeping the media at bay and speaking to police officers and emergency services at the bottom of the tower block on Thursday morning, all the while surrounded by armed police.  She didn't speak to community members of survivors.

Later, Ms. May said, "What we need to do is to ensure this terrible tragedy is properly investigated," she said. "That is why I'm ordering a full public inquiry so we can get to the answers, we can find out exactly what happened and why it happened."

London Mayor Sadiq Khan was heckled at the scene, repeatedly interrupted by a small but angry group that didn't want to wait a full year for an investigation.  "Understandably, residents are very angry and concerned and have genuine questions that demand answers," said Mr. Khan, calling on the judge who will run the inquiry to issue a preliminary report this summer.

Meanwhile, former London Mayor and current Foreign Minister Boris Johnson's words are coming back to haunt him.  In the wake of the Grenfell Tower Fire, Johnson is being reminded he cut 600 firefighter jobs and 10 fire stations while he was London Mayor.

And he did so callously:  A video emerged showing then-Mayor Johnson being asked about the cuts at City Hall, and replying: "Get stuffed".  Not so funny today, Boris.

The young American detainee released by North Korea suffered "extensive" brain damage and "shows no signs of understanding language or responding to verbal commands".  23-year old Otto Warmbier's parents say he was "brutalized".  Warmbier was a tourist in the hermit kingdom last year when he was caught stealing a propaganda sign off a hotel wall, tired, convicted, and sentenced to hard labor.  Pyongyang claims that sometime last year he came down with botulism and went into a coma - doctors at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center now treating Warmbier say he shows no signs of that.

Accusing the ruling Liberals of "stoking xenophobia", some Labor MPs are their pushing party leaders to reject the Turnbull government's proposal to toughen up citizenship restrictions with language restrictions and a more stringent test.  "These changes are deeply unreasonable. The new English language test will be impossible for many good people (to become citizens)," according to one Labor MP quoted by the ABC.  "They will be permanently shut out."  Labor senator Lisa Singh went on the record saying the Tory proposals "won't make Australia safer, but they will undermine our values of tolerance, inclusion and a fair go for all".  

A leaked recording of Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull mocking Donald Trump has gone viral in the US, and you just know that the vindictive and immature orange clown will do something stupid to get revenge.  It was supposed to be off the record at the Midwinter Ball for journalists, but someone recorded Malcolm mimicking Trump's speech patterns:  "We are winning so much, we are winning, we are winning like we have never won before.  We are winning in the polls.  We are, we are.  Not the fake polls.  Not the fake polls.  They're the ones we're not winning in," he joked as the crowd laughed.  Turnbull's first contact with the clown ended when Trump threw a tantrum and hung up.

Vladimir Putin is turning out to be the ultimate Russian troll.  In an annual call-in show, the Russian president was asked about James Comey, the former US FBI director fired by Donald Trump for not dropping the investigation into Kremlin influence over the US presidential election.  Playing both sides, Putin compared Comey to whistleblower Edward Snowden and said, "If he's persecuted, we're ready to give him political asylum."  But even while annoying the US, bubbled of discontent were appearing:  Viewers' text messages flashed on screen called on Putin to step down, told him three terms "on the throne" were enough, and lambasted him for claiming the country has no money for health or public works.  A few moments later, on screen comments were disabled.

The jury in the Bill Cosby sexual assault trial deadlocked; the trial judge in Pennsylvania ordered the panel back to deliberations and didn't set a time limit.  Once one of the world's favorite sitcom dads, Cosby is accused by some 60 women who say he slipped them drugs in their drinks and sexually assaulted them.  This case pertains to the allegations from former university basketball staffer Andrea Constand; it's one of the few in which the statute of limitations has not run out.  If Cosby is convicted, he faces up to ten years in prison.
