Good Morning Australia!! - El Nino is coming back to parched Australia - Anti-immigration sentiment stomps across Europe - The US abandons the veneer of impartiality in the Mideast - And more in your CareerSpot Global News Briefs:

The World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) says there's a 70 percent chance that El Nino will be back before the end of the year.  And that is not good news for a nation in the midst of a debilitating multi-year drought.  "WMO does not expect the anticipated El Nino to be as powerful as the 2015-2016 event, but it will still have considerable impacts," according to a statement from the global forecasters - these impacts will be warmer temperatures in the Southern Hemisphere.  The Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) says the potential effects of El Nino on Oz include: Less rainfall; less alpine snow; and increased fire danger in southeast.  But thinking in terms of geo-political stability, it's a potential killer:  The last El Nino caused flooding around South America and severely decreased food production in Africa.

The US is ordering the Palestinian mission in Washington, DC to shut down for allegedly failing to take "steps to advance the start of direct and meaningful negotiations with Israel".  Palestinian leaders call it "a declaration of war" on peace efforts by the administration of President Donald Trump.  Meanwhile, the United Nations agency that supports Palestinian refugees is now going to the Gulf states and Europe to make up the US$200 Million shortfall caused by Donald Trump cutting off aid last month (that includes aid for schools and hospitals).  "We face an unprecedented financial crisis," said Pierre Krahenbuhl, Commissioner-General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA).  Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar have already announced US$50 Million each for UNRWA, while Japan, India, and China also provided new or increased support.

Sweden's politics could be bogged down for weeks after the weekend election:  The main center-Left and center-right blocs each got about 40 percent, not enough to form a government.  The insurgent Swedish Democrats (SD) - a party with neo-nazi roots and whose members still get into trouble in racist displays - got about 18 percent.  That's less than expected, but more than enough to be a player.  The question now will be, will either side goosestep into bed with the SD, or bridge the gap into into a grand coalition in order to hold the center from the fringe?  Prime Minister Stefan Lofven is refusing to quit:  "We have two weeks left until parliament opens.  I will work on calmly, as prime minister, respecting voters and the Swedish electoral system."

Hundreds of thugs marched through the eastern German town of Kothen, openly chanting "national socialism now" despite laws banning nazis, naziism, and their foul, ugly symbols.  The racist far-right was somehow and once again able to organize more quickly than the police could - or would, see below - after the death of a German man in a brawl with two Afghan immigrants.  Officials say the man died of cardiac arrest, but the far-right protesters chanted the nazi slogan "lugenpresse" ("lying press").  Germany has a problem, a big one.  This followed more than two weeks of far-right wing trouble that is still going on in Chemnitz.

There is now increasing pressure on Germany's Domestic Intelligence Chief Hans-Georg Maassen to resign, as he has not yet explained his denial of videos that show far-right mobs chasing and harassing immigrants during the Chemnitz ruckus - echoing a baseless conspiracy theory spread by racists.  Local prosecutors quickly shot down Maassen's claim, saying there is absolutely no reason to doubt the veracity of the videos, and they are looking to charge those responsible.  Politicians from across the spectrum are now blasting Maassen because of his department's refusal to do its constitutional mission and arrest those taking part in illegal open displays of naziism in Chemnitz and Kothen.

A group of Military guards in Brazil shot and wounded a political candidate from the Workers Party (PT) of former president Lula.  Renato Almeida Freitas, a young lawyer and candidate for deputy in the city of Curitiba, was passing out campaign literature when the men in uniform showed up and fired rubber bullets at him at point-blank range.  "I was not doing anything, I was just panning," he later said in hospital, using the local slang for passing out lit.  Political violence seems to be increasing in Brazil:  earlier this year, popular Rio De Janeiro councilor Marielle Franco was assassinated in an unsolved drive-by shooting.  Last week, far-right presidential candidate Jair Bolsonaro was stabbed in the liver; the hospital said today that he will require more surgery.
