Good Morning Australia!! - Protests against police violence cris-cross America - The battle over urban gentrification leaves scores of cops injured in one of the world's hippest cities - Is justice coming for Tony Blair? - And more in your CareerSpot World News Briefs:

Hundreds of protesters have been arrested in anti-police violence demonstrations across America, as the most-powerful country on the planet fails to learn a damned thing from the events of the last couple of weeks.  Some of those arrests prompted new protests on their own, such as that of prominent Black Lives Matter activist DeRay McKesson in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, who live blogged the whole thing.  That's the city where white cops murdered a white citizen named Alton Sterling by pinning him down and firing point blank into him last Tuesday night.

At another point in the protests in Baton Rouge, a cop pointed an automatic weapon at peaceful protesters.  In St. Paul, Minnesota - where a cop murdered beloved school cafeteria worker Philando Castile during a traffic stop - protesters threw fireworks, bottles, and rocks were thrown at police as their demonstration closed a main interstate highway.  Prior to his murder, cops pulled over Mr. Castile more than 50-times for perceived minor infractions - all while denying the practice of racial profiling.

Meanwhile, the gunman who killed five Dallas, Texas police officers reportedly scrolled a message in his own blood on the walls of the public parking garage where he was killed by a police robot delivering an lethal explosive blast - now known to be a pound of C-4.  "He wrote the letters 'RB'," said Dallas Police Chief David Brown said of Micah Xavier Johnson.  "We're trying to figure out what those initials mean."  Chief Brown also said investigators are pouring through Johnson's social media accounts and personal journals.

Berlin police say that 123 riot cops were hurts in the largest clashes in five years with squatters and their Leftist allies in the east part of the city.  The protesters object to redevelopment and the rapid "gentrification" of the Friedrichshain neighborhood.  Many of the neighbors - people who live in housing collectives that provide an affordable alternative to hip Berlin's rising rents - support the squatters and banged spoons against pots as the cops failed to evict the them.

Israel's attorney-general has ordered an inquiry into mysterious and unspecified "matters" related to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.  The Justice Ministry's statement followed days of speculation in the Israeli media about possible official suspicions of misconduct by Netanyahu or by people close to him.  Through his lawyer, Netanyahu - now serving his fourth term as prime minister - is denying any wrongdoing.

Former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair could face expulsion from the Queen's Privy Council as a group of senior MPs introduce a motion of contempt over his support of the 2003 invasion of Iraq.  This comes after the Chilcot report said the legal basis for the UK's complicity in the war was "far from satisfactory" - but did not explicitly say the war was illegal.  The motion appears to have the backing of Tory MP David Davis, the SNP’s Alex Salmond, and Labour's Jeremy Corbyn.

Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is claiming victory for his ruling LDP party in upper house elections.  He claims the vote was based on his economic policies, but a two-thirds majority in both houses will give the conservative nationalist PM the hand he needs to repeal parts of Japan's post-World War II pacifist constitution which forbids foreign military excursions.

Rival factions in South Sudan have clashed, plunging the country back into a state of civil war.  Forces loyal to Vice-President Riek Machar claim government troops attacked their positions in the capital, Juba - something denied by those loyal to President Salva Kiir.
