Good Morning Australia!! - Taking stock of the NSW fires - America's tallest dam appears to have narrowly avoided a disaster - People are waking up to the truth about Trump - And more in your CareerSpot Global News Briefs:

Thirty homes were destroyed in the NSW bush fires, and damage assessments are still being updated while fireys battle the flames.  The worst is the Sir Ivan Fire which pretty much wiped the village of Uarbry off the map - twelve homes there and eleven others in the path of the fire.  Other bush fires destroyed homes in Port Macquarie-Hastings, Kempsey, and Narrabri.  Keep in touch with the NSW Rural Fire Service for the latest alerts.

The tallest dam in the US is still standing, after 188,000 thousand people were evacuated in anticipation of calamitous dam burst.  So far, it hasn't happened, but the evacuations beneath the Oroville Dam north of Sacramento, California are still in effect with no end in sight - those people are staying in emergency shelters, motels, and with friends and relatives.  And the situation with the dam structure is considered "dynamic".  The spillway was damaged as overflow water from Lake Oroville blasted through, taking out a few roadways in the largely rural area of the Sierra Nevada mountains, which have another week of rain en route.

At least four snowboarders are dead after walking off-piste at France's Tignes ski resort, and getting buried in an avalanche.  Officials feared the death toll would be higher, but everyone else has been accounted for. 

At least 32 people are dead after a bus packed with elderly tourists flipped onto its side on a highway exit ramp Monday evening in Taiwan near the capital, Taipei.  An official said it "could be due to excess speed".

Clashes over the police rape of a young black man have spread to another community near Paris.  The 22-year-old year old victim identified only as "Theo" is still in hospital after major surgery to repair the damage caused by a police truncheon.  The trouble on Sunday night in Les Ulis had protesters attacking a police station.  This followed earlier clashes between police and protesters in three other suburbs.

New rounds of polling show Americans rapidly losing what little faith they had in the orange clown Donald Trump.  The Gallup Poll shows his disapproval rating has skyrocketed to 55 percent after only three weeks in the oval office.  In fact, he reached majority disapproval after just eight days of belligerence and screw-ups - compared to the previous five presidents who didn't get there until two or three years in office.  But it goes beyond that:  Americans are equally split on whether to impeach Trump, with "Yes" and "No" at 46 percent.  But support for impeachment has crept up 11 percent in just two weeks.  And coinciding with Trump moving into the White House, a 57 percent majority of Americans suddenly understood that the rest of the world doesn't view their country as favorably.

Austria arrested some little jerk who dressed up as Hitler and popped up around in the village where the nazi dictator was born, as well as Vienna and Graz.  Police spokesman David Furtner said this wasn't "performance art", and the 25-year old creep "knew exactly what he was doing".  Glorifying the Nazi era is a crime in Austria, as it should be.

Tanzania has charged a Serengeti National Park tourist guide with cybercrime for making a video showing him deliberately mistranslating a visitor's question, and uploading it to his Facebook account.  Saimon Sirikwa said it was just a joke.  A woman is seen lavishing complements on Tanzania's vast natural beauty, and Mr. Sirikwa stands next to her and says (in Swahili) that she is complaining about Tanzanians allegedly being poor and lazy - a parody of harsh speeches given by President John Magufuli.  The two later put up another video explaining that it was just a joke.  Critics of Tanzania's vague cybercrime law say it gave police "too much power" without adequate oversight.
