Hello Australia!! - Archbishop Wilson finally quits - Facts galore but no conclusion in Malaysia's MH 370 report - Why is the US spying on innocent travelers? - And more in your CareerSpot Global News Briefs:

Adelaide Archbishop Philip Wilson has handed in his resignation and Pope Francis accepted it.  This is two months after Wilson became the most senior Roman Catholic official in the world to be convicted of concealing child sex abuse.  He's appealing the conviction and the sentence of twelve months of detention, but the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference said "Wilson's resignation is the next chapter in a heartbreaking story of people who were sexually abused" and it hopes "decision may bring some comfort to them".  The magistrate who sentenced him said Wilson had showed "no remorse or contrition".

For survivors of clerical sex abuse, Wilson's decision is two months overdue:  "I think so many people have seen his refusal to resign as a matter of his ego not wanting to let go, rather than him deciding what was good for child abuse survivors and what was good for the reputation of the church that he serves," said Peter Gogarty, "So I think there's going to be a lot of relief and a lot of people saying: 'well it's a bit late but thank goodness he's done this'."  Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull welcomed Wilson's resignation, noting: "There is no more important responsibility for community and church leaders than the protection of children." 

Wilson's resignation is the latest in a series as the Vatican appears to be cracking down on a problem that has been growing for decades.  Last week, Pope Francis accepted the resignation of high-ranking US Archbishop Theodore McCarrick from the College of Cardinals, after he was hit with multiple allegations of sexual abuse, including claims involving an 11-year-old boy.  And earlier this year, Francis accepted the resignation of five Chilean bishops over a sex abuse scandal that had brought allegations the Pope wasn't taking it seriously enough.

Malaysia's 449 page report into the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 reaches no conclusion:  "The team is unable to determine the real cause for disappearance of MH370," said lead investigator Kok Soo Chon, who believes the flight was "deliberately manipulated" off course into the Indian Ocean.  So far, only small bits and pieces have turned up on beaches in South Africa, Mozambique, and Reunion Island.  Thus the cause of the presumed disaster is just as elusive today as it was in March 2014 when the Kuala Lumpur to Beijing flight with 239 passenger and crew (including at least six Australians) took a very wrong turn and disappeared from radar screens.  Some have read the report and are upset that it seems to hint at pilot responsibility without providing a shred of evidence.  Others note that third party involvement is not ruled out. 

India has released a draft list of citizens of Assam state which appears to threaten the rights of four million people who were excluded from it, despite providing documentation to the National Register of Citizens (NRC).  This is fanning fears of a Hindu majority witch hunt against Assam's ethnic minorities, especially Bengali-speaking Muslims.  The list claims to identify every resident who can demonstrate roots in the state before 24 March 1971, a day before neighboring Bangladesh declared independence which plunged the area into the chaos of war and migrating refugees.  "They are trying to isolate Muslims," said opposition Congress Party official Ripun Bora, "We are going to fight it out."  

Zimbabwe's first general election without ousted, long-serving ruler Robert Mugabe saw high voter turnout.  Although 23 candidates are running, it's expected to be a tight contest between the incumbent Emmerson Mnangagwa and his main rival, Nelson Chamisa.  If no candidate gets more than 50 percent of the vote when tallying is done five days from now, there will be a run-off of the top two finishers in September.

Spanish cab drivers are blocking the main streets in several cities in a protest against ride-hailing companies like Uber.  They're demanding the government enforce a law reserving 30 taxi licenses for every one ride-hailing license.  Union representatives said services like "Uber and Cabify are putting the viability of the taxi sector and 130,000 jobs at risk", adding it "considers this unfair competition intolerable".

The US Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is admitting it has been tracking people who aren't on terrorism watchlists and who don't have criminal convictions.  Officials are denying race or religion are motivating factors in the so-called "Quiet Skies" program.  Under it, covert federal air marshals have been shadowing travelers - some Americans, some not - on their flights and reporting any suspicious behavior to TSA.  The Boston Globe newspaper discovered that one person tailed was a flight attendant, while another was an unsuspecting federal agent.  The TSA won't say why it's doing this.
