Melbourne Lord Mayor Robert Doyle is standing down after two fellow councilors made sexual harassment allegations against him.  A city spokesman said, "The City of Melbourne understands, via the Lord Mayor's lawyers, that the formalities of his resignation will shortly be completed and we are now operating on that basis."  Last week, officials announced that the investigation into the charges would be delayed while Doyle dealt with serious "health issues".  Doyle denies the allegations.

China has joined Russia in condemning a US Pentagon plan to develop small so-called tactical nuclear weapons.  The defense ministry in Beijing said "country that owns the world's largest nuclear arsenal" should drop its "cold war mentality".  Russia has already condemned the plan, and Iran's foreign minister claimed it brought the world "closer to annihilation".

An Amtrak passenger train crashed into a parked freight train in South Carolina, killing two people and injuring dozens.  It's believed the passenger train was on the wrong track.  This comes less than a week after an Amtrak train carrying Republican lawmakers (who gut Amtrak funding and safety regulations) crashed into a truck at a crossing in Virginia, killing the driver.

Italian police say the far-right extremist who allegedly shot six African immigrants in a drive-by attack in Macereta was "lucid and determined, aware of what he had done" - and remorseless.  In addition to the suspect giving a fascist salute upon arrest, investigators found a copy of "Mein Kampf" and other white supremacy crapola in the home of 28-year old Luca Traini, a failed political candidate with the wingnut Northern League.  He is believed to have been enraged over the killing of a local teenager in which an immigrant is suspected.

Moroccan rescue services pulled 16 bodies out of the sea near Spain's African territory of Melilla, after a Spanish ship spotted them and alerted authorities.  They're believed to be migrants from sub-Saharan Africa attempting to go to Europe.  The Mediterranean Crossing to Europe continues to be a treacherous and deadly risk for those looking for a better life:  Last week, bodies began washing up on the shores of Libya, leading authorities to fear all 90 people on a human trafficking boat were killed in a mishap on that smuggling route.

Mexican authorities rescued 200 Central American migrants who were packed into a truck in the northeast of the country.  This vehicle had no ventilation, food, or water.  The people, including several unaccompanied children were from Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador, and enroute to the US.  Three are under arrest for suspected human trafficking.

Tens of thousands of people turned out for the world's silliest protest in Athens, against the name of the country to the north.  They're demanding that the Former Yugoslavian Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) drop the "Macedonia", because that's the name of a province in Greece.  Seriously, all the crap that's gone wrong in their country, and this is what they protest over - twice in a fortnight.  The protesters claim that the people over the border are ethnic Slavs, and therefore the nation (which isn't theirs to name) should be called Skopje.  Nationalism:  It teaches you to take pride in things you haven't done and hate people you've never met.
