Good Morning Australia!! - Trump's weird and graphic Twitter rant provokes disgust - Iraqi officials foresee the imminent end of IS - Cardinal Pell speaks on sex abuse charges - And more in your CareerSpot Global News Briefs:

Vatican treasurer and Australia's most senior Roman Catholic official Cardinal George Pell says the sex abuse charges against him amount to "relentless character assassination".  At a news conference in Rome, Pell said he's "looking forward to having my day in court" and "the whole idea of sexual abuse is abhorrent to me".  He left a slight question mark on whether he'd travel back to Australia to actually face the charges, saying that it would be up to his doctors, although it appears the desire to return is there.  Yesterday, Victoria Police Deputy Police Commissioner Shane Patton said the charges involved multiple complainants.  A court will decide on releasing the details of the charges at a hearing on 6 July.

Iraqi Prime officials are declaring "the end of the fake Daesh state" as Iraqi and US-backed troops surround what's left of the so-called Islamic State's forces in Iraq's second-largest city.  "The liberation of Mosul proves that," said Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi.  The Iraqis recaptured the remnents of the al-Nouri Mosque, where IS declared its "caliphate" in 2014 but blew-up last week as it began to lose its grip.  Kurdish fighter Ali Shervan said, "The city center is completely besieged, and our forces are fighting from all sides."  The US says 4,000 IS fighters holding out have been abandoned by their leadership and is predicting fully liberating the city in days, not weeks. 

A key committee in the US House of Representatives voted to strip the president of some war-making authority.  The GOP-dominated House Appropriations Committee nearly unanimously approved the amendment from Los Angeles Left-wing Democrat Rep. Barbara Lee to revoke the 2001 "Authorization for Use of Military Force" (AUMF).  It was originally meant to empower the White House to respond to the 9/11 Attacks, but has been since used to justify the ill-fated Iraq War, and the fight against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.  This amendment to the defense spending bill may not pass the full House or Senate, but it's a signal that at least some Republicans are waking up to the lunacy and dysfunction in the White House.

The US media and pols were taken aback by the orange clown's latest vulgar and disturbing blast on twitter:  Donald Trump mocked MSNBC morning host Mika Brzezinski as "bleeding badly from a face-lift" during a visit to his Florida golf resort Mar-a-Lago.

Brzezinski has intensely criticized Trump on policy and style as co-host of the "Morning Joe" show, which is watched intently inside the Washington, DC "beltway". 
Twitter
Brzezinski tweeted back a photo of a children's cereal "made for tiny hands", referring to a frequent accusation made about Trump's sorely lacking anatomy.

While the White House tried to get surrogates to defend the weird and graphically personal exchange as a "tough" president "counter-punching" (with a woman while hiding behind the Internet like a total wussy), several Republicans would not go along for the ride.

South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham said Trump's bizarre behavior was "beneath the office";  Nebraska Senator Ben Sasse echoed that and pleaded, "Please just stop"; Kansas Republican Rep. Lynn Jenkins made it clear, "This is not okay."  MSNBC defended its host, and even CNN stood with its rival:

Aside from being ugly cyber-bullying, aside from being very weird, aside from being the second time Trump has mentioned "bleeding" in connection with a blonde woman, and assuming the story has a grain of truth in it (which it probably does not, given the orange clown's well-documented history of lying) - what kind of total arsewipe doesn't call an ambulance for someone who is bleeding?  There is a cancer in the White House.

BTW, Trump's twitter problems did a great job of distracting people from the Russian investigation and the GOP failure on health care reform.

Another blow to British Prime Minister Theresa May's government, which was forced to grant free abortions to women from Northern Ireland who travel to England.  The government conceded after it was apparent many Tory ministers were about to vote for the Labour idea.  Currently, Northern Ireland is the only part of the UK where women's reproductive freedom is restricted to cases in which a woman's life is at risk or there is a permanent or serious risk to her physical or mental health - and that's because the Conservatives' new coalition partner, the far-right DUP, has consistently blocked efforts to pull NI into the 21st century.

Venezuela's Supreme Court froze the assets of the attorney general and bared her from leaving the country.  Luisa Ortega Diaz was an ally of President Nicolas Maduro, but broke with him in March when he moved to reduce the power of the conservative opposition-controlled congress which was trying to short-circuit the time between elections to serve its own agenda.  Ms. Ortega sided with congress, the Supreme Court sided with Maduro.  It comes after a rogue police detective stole a helicopter and attack the Supreme Court with guns and grenades.

Police east of Paris arrested an Armenian man who tried and failed to ram a van into a crowd of Muslims outside a mosque.  He was reportedly attempting revenge for previous jihadist attacks, but was thwarted by concrete bollards and barriers designed to protect the mosque.
