Good Morning Australia!! - Today is the day that the UK will decide on its future with the European Union - The hero becomes the villain in Myanmar - Trump is caught being an idiot - Who decides the concept of "time"? - And more in your CareerSpot Global News Briefs:

Later today, British voters will go to the polls to decide if the country should "Remain" or "Leave" the European Union.  The polls have see-sawed, but the final poll by the Opinium firm taken before the vote shows the "Leave" campaign ahead by a single point, which sent the Sterling falling against the Euro.  The UK currency had been soaring when earlier polls showed the "Remain" side leading. 

Democrats in the US House of Representatives staged a sit-in on the House floor to demand that majority Republicans allow votes on gun control legislation.  The Republicans, largely funded by the gun lobby the National Rifle Association (NRA), have refused to consider any such bills even after the shooting at an Orlando, Florida gay bar that killed 49 people.  What the Democrats are proposing isn't terribly restrictive; most just want gun sales banned to people flagged as terrorists in federal investigations.  President Barack Obama sent his support to the leader of the sit-in, long-time congressman John Lewis who is a veteran of the Civil Rights movement and marched with Martin Luther King in the 1960s.

Orange clown, fascist demagogue, and US Republican party presidential candidate Donald Trump gave a speech to condemn his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton that was so full of lies, inaccuracies, and distortions that even the normally docile US corporate media had to fact-check it.  Billed as a broadside against the former Secretary of State and US Senator, the rambling word-salad missed the mark with demonstrable lies and complaints about things that happened when Ms. Clinton wasn't in office.  In an earlier speech, Hillary Clinton hit Trump's failed record as a supposed "businessman", noting his four bankruptcies and saying he shouldn't be allowed to do the same thing to America.

Two Australians, South African, and two locals have been kidnapped in southeastern Nigeria.  All five work for Australian mining and engineering giant Macmahon, which is on a major cement quarrying project in Cross River state.  "The police are currently working with the Nigerian Navy to ensure that the victims are released unharmed," said police commissioner Jimoh Ozi-Obeh.  Kidnapping for ransom is an all too common practice with area criminal gangs.

Lightning strikes in India killed 93 people and injured 20 more.  These occurred as storms passed through Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, and Madhya Pradesh states; most of the victims were farm workers caught out in the fields.

The Pakistani Taliban is claiming responsibility for the assassination of popular Sufi musician Amjad Sabri.  Gunmen on motorcycles cut down Sabri in his car traveling in Karachi, and he died on the way to hospital.  Sufism is a tolerant, mystical practice of Islam with has millions of followers in Pakistan.  But it is opposed a heretical by extremists like the Taliban.

Myanmar's de facto leader Aung San Suu Kyii is banning government officials from using the word "Rohingya" to described the egregiously oppressed Muslim minority in the country's far northwest.  So much for that figgin' Nobel Prize, eh?  Instead, they are to be referred as "people who believe in Islam in Rakhine state".  Despite living in the country for several generations, Myanmar doesn't consider Rohingya to be citizens but rather illegal immigrants from Bangladesh.  Four years ago, bloody riots saw the Buddhist majority pushing 100,000 Rohingya into squalid refugee camps.

The Colombian government and the Marxist FARC rebels have finally reached a bilateral ceasefire agreement, the details of which will be revealed on Thursday.  President Juan Manuel Santos said a final peace deal could be signed by 20 July, and end five decades of armed insurgency and civil war.

Bolivian President Evo Morales wants to switch from the "untidy" Gregorian calendar to the indigenous calendar kept by his Aymara ethnic group, he says "as part of the rebuilding of our identity" from the country's colonial past.  Mr. Morales made the comments at the Aymaran New Year festival at the presidential palace, where he rang in the year 5,524.  This is the second time that South America's first indigenous president has reevaluated the Western concept of time:  Two years ago, he had the clock on the Congress reversed so that its hands and numbers go left.  He dubbed it, "The Clock of the South".

WTH is it with bears in the news this week?  At least this one had a happy ending:  A young bear scampered up a tree in Tampa, Florida.  Wildlife wardens hit him with a tranq dart and returned him to the wild.
