Good Morning Australia!! - Brazil fires its president without an election - Trump goes to Mexico, accomplishes nothing - Singapore cautions women over Zika - And more in your CareerSpot Global News Briefs:

The Brazilian Senate voted 61 to 20 to convict President Dilma Rousseff on charges of manipulating the federal budget to conceal a deficit (which isn't actually a crime in Brazil) and removed her from office.  75-year old Interim President Michel Temer and his all-white male cabinet are now free to pursue neo-con agenda items such as raising the retirement age, gutting pensions and worker protections, and clear-cutting more rainforest for more lucrative agriculture.  Many of those voting to convict and members of Temer's cabinet are facing actual, real-life corruption charges far greater than the made-up shyte used against Ms. Rousseff.  Ignore the analysis that claims Rousseff was brought down by "bad timing" and make no mistake, this is a coup that went on with the tacit approval - at the very least - of the "democratic" West.  SMDH.

Could the BBC and Western corporate media just stop saying, "polls show most French people support the Burkini ban," please?  Human rights, such as an individual wearing the clothing of their choice, are not up and should not be up for popularity contests.

US Republican Party presidential candidate Donald Trump seems to have accomplished absolutely nothing with his surprise visit to Mexico to meet with President Enrique Pena Nieto.  "Surprise", because Mexican officials never seriously expected the orange clown to actually take up the half-hearted invitation.  The vast majority of Mexicans are angry with Pena Nieto for going through with a meeting with the guy who wants to build a border wall because he claimed Mexicans were "rapists".  After the meeting, Pena Nieto read a lengthy statement to Trump about the flow of guns and money from the United States to Mexican drug gangs.  Trump then read a bland five-point statement that did nothing more than recognize the fact that countries have borders.

Trump managed to shoot himself in the foot many times with the Mexican visit, not least ways by abandoning his media contingent in the US.  Journalists are "seething" with anger after they boarded an airplane they thought would taken them to Mexico City to cover the meeting, only to be shuttle to Phoenix, Arizona in advance of a campaign rally there later in the day.  As it turns out, they didn't miss anything - Trump and Pena Nieto didn't take many questions from Mexican reporters, and made clear they did NOT discuss which country would pay for Trump's proposed border wall (which is never going to happen anyway).

Actual history was made when a JetBlue passenger plane touched down in Cuba, making it the first commercial flight from the US to Cuba since the early 1960s.  Thaw, baby, thaw.

Spain's Parliament failed to elect conservative Mariano Rajoy to a second term as Prime Minister.  It increases the likelihood of triggering a third election within a year.

Singapore is urging pregnant women to get tested for the Zika virus if they start to exhibit symptoms of Zika disease.  The city-state has now confirmed 82 cases of the mosquito-transmitted virus.  Most infected people will only notice a slight fever or a rash, but severe cases have resulted in temporary paralysis; thousands of babies born to Zika-infected women in Brazil have abnormally small skulls and brains, a birth defect called microcephaly.  Australia, the UK, and the US are advising pregnant women against non-essential travel to Singapore.

Some ne'er-do-wells apparently didn't get the message that Coca-Cola eliminated cocaine from its product in the early 20th century:  Police in France are investigating after almost AU$75 Million of cocaine showed up at a bottling plant in the village of Signes.  Initial inquiries seem to rule out employee involvement of the processed drug, which was in bags hidden in orange juice concentrate sent from South America.

Target is removing from its shelves a T-shirt that says the duties of the comic book hero "Batgirl" include housework before saving the world and fighting crime.  The pink shirt for girls aged from two to seven years old features a "Batgirl to-do list" that reads: "Dryclean cape.  Wash Batmobile.  Fight crime.  Save the world."  The boys' version has no such housework listed.  Target moved to correct this after a customer from Northcote in Melbourne posted a complaint on the store's social media page.  Naturally, that was followed by beer-swilling trolls of questionable mental capacity and even less humanity capping off in support of the clearly sexist shirt, but luckily Target rose above.
