Good Morning Australia!! - A visionary who changed entertainment is gone - Amnesty International punishes Suu Kyi - The day the cops shot the hero - And more in your CareerSpot Global News Briefs:

Comic book legend Stan Lee has died at age 95.  Credited with making the art form "grow up", Stan Lee saddled his Marvel Comics superheroes with real world problem that made them more accessible to readers:  Spiderman was chronically underemployed, the Hulk had a real anger management problem, no amount of of superpowers could rescue the X-Men from human bigotry.  These complex, self-doubting, and more than occasionally self-loathing characters from the turbulent 1960s became the basis of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which have dominated the box office for the past 15 or so years. 

People at a gritty bar south of Chicago said the armed security guard was a hero for stopping a man with a gun and holding him until police arrived; but police mistook the black security guard for the offender, and shot him dead on the spot.  "Everybody was screaming out 'security, he was a security guard'", said witness Adam Harris, weary of America's record of black men being shot by police, "And they still did their job and saw a black man with a gun and basically killed him."  When he wasn't at his security gig, the late 26-year old Jemel Roberson dreamed of becoming a police officer and worked as a gospel musician at several nearby churches in and around Robbins, Illinois. 

The death toll in the Camp Fire in northern California is now 29 lives lost.  That now equals the deadliest on record in California, which was the 1933 Griffith Park disaster in Los Angeles.  But the numbers could get even worse, as authorities say more than 200 people have not been accounted for after the inferno destroyed the Sierra Nevada Mountains community of Paradise.  Another two deaths were confirmed in the Woolsey Fire that ate through some of Malibu's most expensive real estate.  Among those who lost homes are musicians Miley Cyrus and Neil Young, and actor Gerard Butler, who tweeted a photo of his burned out property.

Amnesty International has rescinded its highest honor, the Ambassador of Conscience Award, from Myanmar's de facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi for her failure to stop the oppression of the Rohingya ethnic group.  More than 700,000 of the Muslim minority were forced from their homes and out of the country while untold thousands were killed by nationalist mobs and the military.  By ignoring or playing down the seriousness of what the US has called a "genocide", Suu Kyi has angered most of those who supported her when she was a political prisoner of the country's former regime.  This is the latest in a string of honors rescinded from Suu Kyi.

Canada is in negotiations to provide asylum to Asia Bibi, the Pakistani woman recently freed from prison after the country's supreme court overturned her death penalty conviction on blasphemy charges.  Fundamentalist mobs are threatening to lynch Ms. Asia, and she and her family are in hiding.

Things go from zero to bloodshed in a hurry in the Mideast:  Several Palestinians are dead after Israeli air raids pounded targets in the Gaza Strip, including the TV station run by Hamas.  This followed an Israeli raid in which commandos dressed as civilians killed a Hamas commander and at least six others.  Hamas responded with a barrage of rocket fire from the Strip into Israel, most of which fell on empty fields or were intercepted by Israel's Iron Dome missile defense system; one struck an empty bus and wounded an IDF soldier guarding it.  All in 24 hours.
