Good Morning Australia!! - The UN will reportedly hand a victory to Julian Assange - Two Israelis get decades in prison for a murder that led to the Gaza War - Europe confirms the Zika Virus, as one of Australia's neighbors declares an Epidemic - And more in your CareerSpot World News Briefs:

A United Nations special panel is expected to rule in favor of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange and say he has been arbitrarily detained in London in violation of international law.  The finding is not binding on London, which has cops stationed around the Ecuadorian Embassy where Julian has been holed-up for more than two years.  They would love to arrest him and extradite him to Sweden to face old sex abuse charges, which Julian and his supporters say are trumped up and are a cover for the US to exact revenge for his activities of exposing embarrassing state secrets.  But the ruling of the committee might prompt Sweden to drop its arest warrant.

A Jerusalem court sentenced two young Israelis to lengthy prison terms for the murder of a Palestinian teen, a gruesome event that played a role in the lead up to the Gaza War of 2014.  The two Israelis - aged 16 and 17 at the time - kidnapped Mohammad Abu Khdair and burned him to death in the West Bank.  The younger defendant got 21 years in prison, the older was sentenced to life.  A court has yet to rule if the 31-year old man who allegedly ordered the murder is mentally competent to stand trial.

But that was 2014's violence, and there's no end to the current wave of idiocy between israelis and Palestinians.  Israel today buried a female police officer stabbed to death earlier this week by Palestinian attackers who were shot dead on the spot.

Eight more accusations of sex abuse has the UN pulling 120 peacekeepers out of the Central African Republic and sending them back to Congo-Brazzaville.  In one case, a 14-year old girl says she was abused by a an armed soldier at the refugee camp near the airport.  This is in addition to last week's report that implicated European peacekeepers in rampant sex abuse of women and children.  Investigators say the survivors are as young as seven-years old.

Spain has confirmed its first case of the Zika Virus, a pregnant woman who acquired the infection in Colombia.  Zika has been associated with thousands of birth defects to occur in tropical South America since last October.  Six more infections were confirmed, and the health ministry in Madrid says that all were imported.  In Brazil, where most of the world's cases are located, President Dilma Rousseff has declared war on the mosquito-borne virus.  She ordered massive mosquito eradication efforts on Saturday.

Tonga declared a Zika epidemic after confirming five out of 260 suspected cases.  Tonga's chief medical officer Dr. Reynold Ofanoa says authorities and doctors "noticed an increase in patients coming in with acute fever and rash".  They're now working to identify any pregnant women who exhibit signs of infection and monitoring their progress.  The UN World Health Organization earlier this week declared a worldwide public health emergency over the rapid spread of Zika.

Mexican prosecutors have issued an order to locate and question actress Kate del Castillo over her links with the imprisoned drug baron Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman.  Ms. Del Castillo set up a meeting with Hollywood star Sean Penn and El Chapo, who was a fugitive from justice after escaping from prison.  She denies any wrongdoing, but prosecutors suspect El Chapo gave her money to start a Tequila business last year.
