Spanish police shot and killed the remaining suspect in the Barcelona terrorist attack.  22-year old Younes Abouyaaqoub was believed to have been the ringleader in the plot, which included ramming a van into a crowd of people in Barcelona and a follow-up attack in a nearby town, killing 14 people in total.  Officials say member of the public identified Abouyaaqoub at a train station; he ran off into a vineyard, where officers shot and killed him when he appeared to have been trying to activate a suicide belt.  That makes eight suspected terrorists killed throughout the investigation and manhunt, and four arrested.

Chile's Constitutional Court significantly rolled back the country's restrictive abortion laws, approving a measure to legalize abortions when a woman's life is in danger, when a fetus is not viable, and in cases of rape.  "Today, women have won, democracy has won, all of Chile has won," said President Michelle Bachelet, a physician and former head of U.N. Women, who plans to sign the measure into law.

PM Malcolm Turnbull is hitting back at "reckless" North Korea, which threatened Australia over taking part in joint military training operations with the US and South Korea.  "North Korea has shown it has no regard for the welfare of its own population, no regard for the security and good relations with its neighbours and no regard for international law," Malcolm said in a statement to the ABC, urging the international community to help bring Pyongyang "to its senses and end its reckless and dangerous threats ".   North Korea seems to be making a mountain out of an molehill, as just over two dozen ADF members would take part in the annual Ulchi-Freedom Guardian war games.

More fallout from the racist violence in Charlottesville, Virginia:  The University of Texas removed four Confederate statues from its Austin campus early Monday morning.  It comes amid nationwide pressure to remove statues that celebrate the losers who lost the US Civil War, in which the south attempted to secede to preserve the immoral and disgusting practice of slavery.  University President Greg Fenves said it was clear "that Confederate monuments have become symbols of modern white supremacy and neo-Nazism". 

The occupant of the White House lost his moral authority because of his despicable reaction to Charlottesville (equating nazi scum and hate groups with counter-protesters, including the woman killed by a nazi days earlier) will address the US tonight about Afghanistan.  Donald Trump will ask an increasingly skeptical nation to trust him as he orders another 4,000 troops into a war that's lasted 16 years.  Even before he was a presidential candidate, he criticized the US presence in Afghanistan, and compared it unfavorable to the decades that US troops have been stationed in South Korea. 

The US Navy's top admiral ordered a one day, worldwide "operational pause" after the USS John S. McCain was badly damaged in a collision with an oil tanker off Singapore.  Searchers are looking for ten saillors missing in the incident.  This is the second time that a US Navy ship based at Yokosuka, Japan has been in a deadly collision with a commercial vessel:  In June, the USS Fitzgerald crashed into a Philippine merchant ship off the coast of Japan, killing seven sailors.  The ship's commanding officer, executive officer and senior enlisted officer were all relieved of their duties after the Navy concluded "serious mistakes were made by the crew".

Big Ben bonged its last for four years - that is, except for major events such as New Year's Eve and Remembrance Sunday.  The Elizabethan clock tower is undergoing a "crucial conservation project" that will keep it offline until 2021.  Workers would not have been able to operate safely if the 13-ton bell rang out every hour.  "We've seen what happens when you scrimp on health and safety - Grenfell is the extreme example," said Labour MP Rupa Huq, ""Sometimes we have to strip away at some of the layers of sentimentality and tradition just for the sake of it."
