Good Morning Australia!! - Cooler heads seek ways to try and block the Brexit - Racist incidents increase in England after it votes to leave the EU - The door from east to west just got a lot wider - And more in your CareerSpot Global News Briefs:

Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon says her parliament may have the power to block the UK's exit from the European Union, as decided in last week's referendum.  The Brexit will commence only after London formally requests to trigger it.  But the Welsh and Scottish Parliaments gained new powers to grant their consent to legislation generated in London, under the deal to devolve powers from Westminster- and Scots voted overwhelmingly to Remain in the EU.  Some critics maintain that withholding consent is not the same actually blocking the Brexit.

UK Labour is in turmoil over the Brexit - Ten senior members of the Shadow cabinet have quit on party leader Jeremy Corbyn, and that comes after he sacked Shadow foreign secretary Hilary Benn for allegedly organizing a coup against him.  Corbyn was already on a bubble, because he was elected leader on the votes of new party members - who didn't come through in England's north and deliver a victory to the "Remain" camp.  Two other Labour MPs already put forth no-confidence measures against Mr. Corbyn.

The petition to re-do the referendum has gathered around 3.5 Million signatures.

Meanwhile, there's been an uptick in racist and xenophobic incidents in the UK since the results of the Brexit vote empowered the bigoted scum of the earth.  Suspected racist graffiti was found on the front entrance of the Polish Social and Cultural Association (POSK) in Hammersmith; some moron actually spent money to laminate cards containing anti-Polish slogans, which were left around Cambridge; Muslims report being taunted by miscreants in the streets and shops; a Channel Four reporter tried to do a live shot in London, only to have three separate dim bulbs shriek out, "send them home," all within five minutes.

Exit polls indicate Spain's weekend elections will not resolve the government's deadlock.  The conservative PP party came in first with just north of 31 percent, which is far short of the majority needed to form a government.  The Socialists and upstate left-wing Podemos party might have enough to forma coalition, although that hasn't worked out in the past six months since the last elections.

An Israeli court chose LGBT Pride Weekend to sentence Yishai Schlissel to life in prison for the cowardly attack at the 2015 Tel Aviv LGBT Pride Parade.  The 40-year old ultra-orthodox Jew stabbed a teenage girl to death and injured five more people, claiming it was "god's will".  He had been out of prison for just five weeks after serving ten years in prison for a similar attack.

LGBT Pride parades took place in cities around the world, and a good time was had almost all.  But in Turkey, Police detained two German politicians who came to Istanbul to support the banned gathering.  Riot cops fired tear gas and rubber bullets at the crowd.  Authorities claimed they acted to "safeguard security and public order", yeah right you dopes.

Turkey is butthurt after Pope Francis visited the Armenian capital Yerevan and prayed for the 1.5 million victims of the Armenian Holocaust committed by Turkey 100 years ago.  "This tragedy, this genocide, has unfortunately marked the start of a sad series of great catastrophes of the last century," said the Pope on Friday.  But Turkey's Deputy Prime Minister Nurettin Canikli said the Pope showed "the mentality of the Crusades" by decrying the slaughter.  On Sunday, Pope Francis said he meant no offense to Turkey.

The newly expanded Panama Canal linking the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans opened over the weekend.  The Chinese "Cosco Shipping Panama" was first through the locks.  This ship is a NeoPanamax vessel, chosen for its immense size (300 meters long with a beam of 48 meters, carrying 15 storeys of shipping containers) to demonstrate the canal's new capacity after undergoing a decade-long US$5.4 Billion expansion to handle newer and bigger ships, and more of them.  Cities on the Atlantic side of the isthmus have deepened their ports to handle the new ships.
