Good Morning Australia!! - Malaysia accuses one of America's biggest banks in the 1MDB scandal - UK's May and Corbyn inch closer to a clash - How deep did Russia's tendrils reach into Donald Trump's election? - And more in your CareerSpot Global News Briefs:

Malaysia filed criminal charges against the US multinational investment bank Goldman Sachs and two former employees in connection with the rampant corruption at the country's investment fund, 1MDB.  Authorities say Goldman Sachs raised some US$6.5 Billion for the fund while collecting unusually high fees for its work, all the while knowing that the money would be "misappropriated and fraudulently diverted" by corrupt Malaysian officials.  Malaysian prosecutors are seeking billions in fines from Goldman Sachs and ten years in prison for each of the top-level execs named in teh complaint.

UK Prime Minister Theresa May has promised MPs a vote on her Brexit plan the week of 14 January.  That vote was supposed to have been held last week, but was put on hold after Ms. May admitted it would have gone done in flames.  After walking away empty-handed from meetings with European leaders last week, May insisted that leaving the European Union would not result in a hard border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, and that she hoped to secure additional "political and legal assurances" from the Europeans in the coming weeks.  Several MPs stood up to call for a new public referendum on possibly cancelling the Brexit, which May resisted.

UK Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn accused Ms. May of wasting the last month, and leading "the country into a national crisis" over its imminent departure from the European Union in March.  He announced he would table a motion of no confidence in the PM for delaying the parliamentary vote.  It will call on MPs to declare they have "no confidence in the prime minister due to her failure to allow the House of Commons to have a meaningful vote straight away" on the Brexit deal.  This tactic falls short of calling a no-confidence measure in the government, but would prove highly embarrassing to Ms. May if Corbyn pulls it off.  Number Ten said it will not make time for such a measure on Tuesday, so we'll see where it goes from here.

When Russia meddled in the 2016 US Presidential Election, they went big.  A report put together by University of Oxford's Computational Propaganda Project and released by the US Senate says Russia bought numerous ads and set up troll and sock puppet accounts not just on Facebook and Twitter, but on all of the big social media platforms:  YouTube, Tumblr, Google+, and Instagram, and for some reason PayPal.  A second report by by the research firm New Knowledge showed that Russian trolls targeted African Americans:  "What is clear is that all of the messaging clearly sought to benefit the Republican Party - and specifically Donald Trump," the report says.  Of course, none of this would have mattered if Hillary Clinton had just campaigned in Wisconsin, but..  Anyway, Russia denies it.

The US Military says weekend air strikes in Somalia killed 62 Al Shabaab terrorists.  There have been a sharp increase in US airstrikes in the African nation since Donald Trump was inaugurated in January 2017, killing more than 400 people.  That's far more than the previous ten years combined.

Thousands of protesters filled Budapest streets for a fifth consecutive night to decry the far-right government's new labor reforms derisively called the "slave law".  While people surrounded the national broadcaster MTVA, two opposition MPs were inside trying to broadcast a petition against the laws - they were thrown out, but other opposition MPs came to take their place.  The new labor bill allows employers to demand up to 400 hours of overtime a year and delay payment for it for three years.
