Rescuers in Jaramijo, Ecuador pulled a 72-year old man out of the rubble of a collapsed building, nearly two weeks after the powerful earthquake that killed more than 650 people.  Manuel Vasquez, from Venezuela, was dehydrated and disoriented.  He's in hospital suffering from kidney failure, a urinary tract infection, and severe injuries to his feet. 

French Prime Minister Manuel Valls is to visit Australia today, after Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull announced that a French defense contractor will build Oz's next generation of Navy submarines.  Mr. Valls was already in the region to discuss an independence referendum for New Caledonia, and will divert to meet with PM Turnbull and other officials.  The French company DCNS will get AU$50 billion to design and construct a dozen submarines, in Australia with Australian labor. 

Paris police clashed with rock-throwing demonstrators at a May Day rally in the French capital.  Most of the event was peaceful, with pro-worker groups speaking out against the allegedly Socialist government's proposed labor reforms (which would fulfill a neo-con's wish list of making it easier to fire workers, as well as slashing at break time and increasing hours, because somehow that will lead to more hiring).  Other clashes occurred in Manila, when Leftist demonstrators dared to try to walk by the US Embassy; and in Istanbul, Turkey, when demonstrators veered off of the government-approved course and tried to get to Taksim Square, which holds special significance for people opposed to the restrictive government of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

Islamic State is suspected in the suicide car bombing in the southeastern Turkish city of Gaziantep.  The blast, which was caught on video, killed two police and injured three other people.  In Iraq, the terrorist group claimed responsibility for two more suicide car bombs that killed at least 32 people and wounded 75 others.  These were targeted at a bus station and government building in the center of the southern Iraqi city of Samawa.

Supporters of an influential Shiite cleric have mostly left Baghdad's "Green Zone", the fortified area of the Iraqi capital they occupied a day earlier.  The demonstrators were angered by delays in approving a new cabinet and accusing the government of neglecting much-needed political reforms.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani is praising voters for electing a record number of women to parliament - the most since prior to the 1979 revolution.  Although there are only 17 women among the incoming MPs in a body of 290, only 16 clerics were elected - meaning that there are more women than religious leaders in Iran's parliament.  Hard-line Islamic conservatives took only 26 percent of seats in the two rounds of elections in February and last month.

The "Alternative For Germany" party (AfD) has gone full-bigot, with members formally adopting an anti-Islam policy.  The party congress in Stuttgart was met with strong protests, and cops arrested hundreds of demonstrators (but strangely, none of the bigots).  Hackers, however, doxxed the names and information of 2,000 AfD members and published it on a Left-wing website. 

Bolivia and Venezuela are raising their respective minimum wages.  Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro announced a 30 percent hike as a way to combat rampant inflation.  Bolivian President Evo Morales says his country's nine percent hike will be accompanied by a series of pro-labor reforms.

China is training a "fishing militia" to sail into the recently disputed South China Sea - and some of these vessels could very well be armed.  This significantly raises the possibility of confrontations with foreign Navies in the waters through which US$4 Trillion in trade passes every year.  And if that happens, 50,000 of the fishing vessels will be equipped with GPS and communication equipment to call in help from the Chinese Navy.  Besides international shipping, the move has implications for Vietnam, the Philippines, and other nations actually located along the South China Sea have long-standing claims to the fishing grounds.

Taiwan is vowing to defend its fishing fleet after Japan seized a boat near Okinotorishima, a bunch of rocks out in the tropical Pacific Ocean that are Japan's southernmost territory.  Japan claims the waters around it as its exclusive economic zone (EEZ), but Taiwan's view is, "Are you freaking kidding?  It's a bunch of rocks!"  No one lives there, but Japan did install a radar station, a helicopter, and an address plaque hilariously reading "1 Okinotori Island, Ogasawara Village, Tokyo".  Anyway, Taiwan has sent two ships to Okinotorishima to protect its interests.
