Hello Australia!! - May spreads the Brexit blame as MPs fume - Chaos in the cockpit preceded a deadly crash - Miracle rescue in the desert - And more in your CareerSpot Global News Briefs:

UK Prime Minister Theresa May blamed Parliament for the failure of her Brexit deal.  In a special address from Downing Street, Ms. May claimed her Brexit deal - twice rejected by Commons -  was "the best deal negotiable", and attacked MPs for failing to make a decision.  "I am on your side," she told the British people.  MPs from all parties blasted her for blaming them for what they say is her own failure to strike a deal that is acceptable to all.  May did not resign, nor did she back a second referendum to allow the British people to decide if they really wanted to go through with this debacle.  On Thursday, she'll ask leaders at the EU Summit in Brussels to delay the Brexit date from 29 March to 30 June (they're not crazy about the idea).  A Sky Data poll found that 90 percent of Brits believe the Brexit talks have been a "national humiliation". 

The European Parliament's largest grouping has suspended Fidesz, the right-wing party of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, over his anti-immigration policies and fierce criticism of Hungarian billionaire George Soros, which many critics find to be anti-Semitic.  "It means that Fidesz cannot any more present candidates for posts in the party, they cannot vote any more for any kind of EPP assembly and they are even not any more allowed to participate in any meeting," said European People's Party (EPP) leader Manfred Weber.  It comes as a blow to Orban on the eve of an important summit on Thursday.

The pilots of Lion Air Flight JT610 were praying while furiously searching through the Boeing 737 Max 8's instruction manual to find out why it lurched downward, shortly before the plane plunged into the Java Sea last year killing 189 people.  The Reuters news agency said this comes from the cockpit voice recorder.  Bloomberg reports that a day earlier, the very same plane experienced a similar plunge - but there was an extra off-duty pilot in the cockpit who helped the flight crew maintain control.  This month's crash of an Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 737 Max 8, killing another 157 people, led to the model being grounded pretty much throughout the world.

A panel of UN judges didn't just reject Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic's appeal, they lengthened the convicted war criminal's prison term.  Karadzic was originally sentenced to 40-years in prison; the appeals tribunal made that a life term and criticized the original judges for "abus(ing) its discretion" in the case.  "Today, the victims of his crimes finally saw him answer for what he did,” Brammertz said.  "Opponents of the tribunal will claim that this judgment," said prosecutor Serge Brammertz.  Karadzic was convicted of genocide for the July 1995 Srebrenica Massacre of more than 7,000 Muslim men and boys.

A school bus driver hijacked his vehicle with 51 kids on board and set it on fire on a highway in Italy.  He's charged with arson and kidnapping, and police say the Senegalese immigrant said that he wanted to kill himself and "stop the deaths in the Mediterranean", presumably a reference to the steady steam of immigrant boats that capsize often with high death tolls.  Even though the suspect tied the hands of some of the kids, they got off the bus - twelve children and two adults were taken to hospital suffering from smoke inhalation.

A five-year-old boy survived a 22-hour ordeal lost in Argentina's El Salado Desert, a mountain wilderness inhabited by dangerous snakes, cougars and scorpions.  Benjamin Sanchez was playing hide and seek with his mother a little too well:  "It was so quiet I could hear him cry but I couldn’t see him any more," said mum Andrea Quiroga.  A team of motorbikes joined the search and located the boy so a helicopter could fly in and reunite him with his family.  "I was so happy to see my mother," Benjamin said after his rescue, "I missed everybody."
