Good Morning Australia!! - North Korea claims Trump gave up even more than was revealed in the Singapore Summit - Trump's unrequited concessions are causing concern in Seoul, Tokyo, and beyond - Ireland may have influenced Argentina - And more in your CareerSpot Global News Briefs:

North Korean state media is reporting that the orange clown Donald Trump caved in on another level agreeing to lift sanctions against the North.  This is in addition to Trump's earlier concessions of canceling what he calls "war games", military exercises with America's South Korean allies.  And that was on top of the concession of having this week's summit itself, which elevated the hereditary dictator of a backwards hermit state as an equal to a sitting US chief executive.  The North did mention a caveat, that sanctions would be lifted as future negotiations progressed.  The US has not commented, nor its strained allies which have helped previous administration crank up pressure on North Korea by enforcing the economic sanctions.

Nor are US allies getting briefed on what the clown meant when he announced that he was ending "provocative" military exercises ("war games").  Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop said, "It was not part of the declaration, so we have to take the declaration as being the areas of agreement and build on that."  Japan's Defense Minister Itsunori Onodera said the US military's presence in South Korea and joint military exercises were "vital" for east Asian security.  "We would like to seek an understanding of this between Japan, the US and South Korea," he said. 

South Korean conservatives are openly criticizing Trump for granting "99 percent of North Korea's wishes" and asking "Where's the beef?" in the vague document signed by Kim and Trump.  With Trump on Wednesday declaring that there was no more nuclear threat from North Korea and US Secretary of State claiming that Pyongyang would give up its nuclear weapons by 2020, there is unease and incredulity in the South.  Retired South Korean General lieutenant-general Chun In-Bum told the ABC that everything he learned from the experts and his own vast experience in dealing with the North is that it will take at least 15 years to denuclearize.  "And that's where one of the pitfalls and challenges we're facing, because we're going to need consistencies to ensure that North Korea denuclearizes - it's not going to be easy." 

The Australian Defence Force is aware of photographs of a nazi flag flying from an ADF vehicle as troops performed their duties in Afghanistan.  The photos, which were revealed by the ABC after circulating among service members, were taken in 2007.  The ABC's sources claim it was intended as a "twisted joke" rather than evidence or an expression of genuine neo-nazism.  Officials also reportedly know the identity of the soldier who brought the flag from Australia to Afghanistan.

Argentina's lower house is on the verge of voting on a bill to liberalize Abortion laws.  The momentum has swung towards recognizing Women's Reproductive Rights after the historic referendum in Ireland.  And President Mauricio Macri, an anti-choice conservative, says he will not stand in the way of legalization if both houses pass it.  Just because the medical procedure is currently outlawed in Argentina (except in cases of an immediate threat to the women's health) does not mean there are no abortions in the South American country:  NGOs estimate as many as 500,000 clandestine abortions take place every year.  Legalization will bring the procedure out of the basements and back alleys, and put it in medical offices where it belongs.

The French and Italian economy ministers have cancelled talks because of the spat over Rome's refusal to allow a rescue ship with more than 600 immigrants to dock.  And now, a scheduled meeting between Italy's Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte and French President Emmanuel Macron might not go ahead in Paris on Friday.  This is all over France's criticism of Italy's decision to shut the doors on the migrants; Italy's new right-wing government said that the rest of Europe should be sharing the burden of resettling the refugees from Africa, the Middle East, and South Asia. 

The deal to rename Macedonia to "North Macedonia" is already in danger.  The tiny Balkan country's president says he won't sign the deal because it gives too much up to Greece - including agreeing to no longer claim ancient warrior Alexander the Great as its own.  Greek nationalists demanded the name change, fearing that tiny Macedonia would make territorial claims on Greece, which is just completely stupid.  The two foreign ministers are to sign the deal this weekend, but there's so much opposition in both countries that there is no guarantee the respective parliaments will even pass it.

German prosecutors have fined Volkswagen One Billion Euros over the diesel emissions scandal, in which VW cars were programmed to lie to government emissions tests to appear to be more environmentally friendly.  That's about AU$1.555 Billion.
