Good Morning Comrade Workers! - Cardinal Pell today learns if he goes on trial - Trump and Netanyahu concoct some buffoonery - Part of North Korea's nuclear offer seems empty - And more in your CareerSpot Global News Briefs:

A Melbourne court is expected to announce this morning if there is enough evidence to try Cardinal George Pell on charges of historical sexual offences involving multiple complainants.  If the judge says there is evidence, Pell is required to enter a plea.  If not, the charges will be dropped.  Different men have come forward to accuse Pell of sex abuse at a Ballarat pool and a cinema in the regional city during the 1970s, and at Melbourne's St. Patrick's Cathedral while he was Archbishop of Melbourne during the 1990s. 

The so-called Islamic State claimed responsibility for a double bombing in Kabul that killed at least 25 people including eight journalists.  First, a bomber on a motorbike attacked a crowd, and then a second bomber who identified himself as a journalist and had infiltrated a pack of reporters covering the carnage detonated another device.  It was a gruesome day in general in Afghanistan: In Kandahar, another bomber targeting NATO troops wound up killing eleven children instead.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netayahu claimed he had "proof" that Iran was violating the multi-lateral nuclear deal, and gave a presentation on live TV from Tel Aviv.  He stood their gesturing to shelves with dozens of file holders and CD-ROMs, as if to say, "Look at all my evidence!"  Actually, that's pretty much what he did:
He thinks everyone is 75 years oldBut the "proof" he offered was actually older documents from a pre-2004 nuke program that were available to US intelligence and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) prior to 2011.  Mr. Netanyahu and Trump apparently coordinated this geriatric blowhard clown show hours earlier in a phone call.  Afterwards, Trump appeared at the White House to claim that Netanyahu proved he was "100 percent right" about his skepticism over the Iran deal, which Trump will decide if the US will still honor later this month.

Trump made his comments during the visit by Nigerian president Muhammadu Buhari, the first leader from sub-Saharan Africa to visit the White House.

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's offer to close a nuclear facility before the eyes of the world appears to be largely symbolic.  The offer was reportedly made during Kim's summit with South Korean President Moon Jae-in in which they agreed to the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.  But Pyongyang has already developed nuclear weapons and missiles as a result of the work at the Punggye-ri nuclear test.  And experts speculate that the underground laboratories there have been buried in a collapse, caused by a weakening of the mountain above by the series of nuclear blasts.  "If reports are true that the tunnels have collapsed, then the test site would be useless for future nuclear tests anyway, so it would just be a symbolic gesture to close it down," said Duyeon Kim of the Korean Peninsula Future Forum in Seoul.

Cops in 13 Latin American and Caribbean countries attacked human trafficking operations in a massive called "Operation Libertad", coordinated by Interpol and funded by the Canadian government.  They feed more than 350 people from conditions pretty much equal to slavery - and although men, women, and children were freed, most were subjected to work in the sex trade.  These include woman trafficked from Asian to work in a remote, illegal gold mine in Guyana's jungle, which Interpol executive director Tim Morris described as "particularly horrific".

A group of hikers got caught out overnight by late-season bad weather in the Alps near Arolla, Switzerland - four died, one from a fall; another five are hospitalized with hypothermia. 

More than 7,000 people rallied in Moscow for Internet freedom.  They condemned the state telecoms watchdog, Rozkomnadzor, for blocking an encrypted messaging app called "Telegram", as well as Google and Amazon. 

Enjoy May Day!
