A good news story for a change, France is awarding citizenship to an immigrant from Mali who climbed up the side of a building to rescue a toddler dangling from a balcony.  "I did it because it was a child," said 22-year old Mamoudou Gassama to the newspaper Le Parisien.  People looked up in horror at the Paris apartment building where the kid was in trouble, and Mr. Gassama literally sprang into action, Parkour-style: "I ran.  I crossed the street to save him," he said, "When I started to climb, it gave me courage to keep climbing." 
18th Arrondissement, Paris, France18th Arrondissement, Paris, FranceHe made it up to the fifth storey in mere seconds and grabbed the kid.  Now nicknamed the "Spiderman of the 18th" arrondissement, he's met with Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo and President Emmanuel Macron - and the Paris fire brigade offered him a job.

Anyway...

The US now has two teams preparing for the supposedly-cancelled summit between North Korea's Kim Jong-un and the orange clown Donald Trump, who apparently only pretended to cancel it last week for some idiotic reason.  The first diplomatic team was working in the Panmunjom treaty village on the border separating North and South Korea.  The second team is at the site of the summit in Singapore, working on logistics.  Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe says he will meet with Trump before the Singapore souree, and will undoubtedly press Trump not to forget the 17 Japanese citizens kidnapped by North Korea prior to 2002 for the hermet kingdom's spy training program.

Brazil's truck drivers' union appears to be still considering President Michel Temer's offer to cut the price of fuel to solve the strike that is crippling the nation's economy.  Truckees are defying Temer's earlier threat to send in armed forces and continuing to blockade crucial highway interchanges and filling stations.  The price of diesel has doubled in Brazil in recent years, with the hikes picking up steam after Temer and his pro-business cabal were appointed to replace the last legally and democratically elected government of deposed President Dilma Rousseff.

In a move guaranteed to please no one except big business, Italy's president has appointed a former IMF banker to form a caretaker government until elections are called before early next year.  Carlo Cottarelli became known as "Mr. Scissors" for his cuts to public spending, which is exactly the opposite of what the coalition elected in the last election - the populist Five Star Movement and the xenophobic The League - stood for.  Such a provocation could push more anti-establishment feeling in Italy and return an even stronger vote against institutions like the IMF and the European Union. 

Foreign Ministers at the EU meeting in Brussels reaffirmed their commitment to the Iran Nuclear Deal, which the orange clown violated by ending US participation.  EU foreign policy chief, Federica Mogherini said member states were intensely coordinating their efforts "to protect the economic investments of European businesses that have legitimately invested and engaged in Iran" over the past three years since the nuclear deal was agreed.  However, this has opened yet another rift with Poland which appears to back Trump's belligerant rhetoric with Iran and doesn't want the EU to do anything to weaken Trump's promised economic sanctions against Tehran.

Western nations are appalled as Syria takes over the rotating presidency of the UN Conference on Disarmament (CD) in Geneva.  This is just weeks after the latest of many allegations of Syria using banned chemical weapons on its own people in its gruesome and destructive civil war.  "Monday, May 28 will be one of the darkest days in the history of the Conference on Disarmament," said the US, while the UK deplored Syria's "consistent and flagrant disregard of international non-proliferation and disarmament norms and agreements".  Critics say the Western handringers should relax:  The alphabetic rotating presidency system was devised by member states to prevent the major powers from constantly dominating the discussion.  Syria took over from Switzerland; Tajikistan gets it in four weeks.

A US Service member is missing and presumed dead in a massive flood in Ellicott City, Maryland on America's East Coast.  Local officials are rightfully concerned because the water depth and the damage are as bad as a 1,000 year flood - but the previous 1,000 flood took place only two years ago.  It's almost as if the climate were changing or something.
