Good Morning Australia!! - Dozens are killed by a Volcano - Trump wants to be his own judge and jury - New calls for the Japanese PM to stand down - And more in your CareerSpot Global News Briefs:

The most violent eruption of Guatemala's Fuego Volcano in years killed at least 62 people and injured dozens more.  And there fears there are more victims buried under the hot ash and mud that burst out during a 16 hour eruption.  A river of red hot lava rushed out faster than people could recognize the danger, killing two children watching the eruption on a bridge and burying two people in a house in the molten torrent's path.  Soot and ash had blanketed other homes and cars over a wide range, and the Fuego Volcano is only about 40 kilometers away from the capital Guatemala City.

The death toll in the immigrant boat accident off Tunisia has risen to 112 lives lost.  Earlier, authorities believed 50 had drowned.  Tunisia has emerged as an important new departure point for human trafficking from Africa to Europe, after Libya finally cracked down on smugglers over the scandal of immigrants being abused and sold as slave labor. 

The US Supreme Court ruled that a Colorado bakery had the right to refuse to bake a custom wedding cake for a Gay couple because of what he claims were his religious beliefs.  The narrowly-written ruling faults the Colorado Civil Rights Commission had shown "clear hostility" and implied religious beliefs "are less than fully welcome in Colorado's business community".  But human rights campaigners fear this poor decision will open the floodgates to all sorts of hatred and discrimination justified with the fig-leaf of religion, and move Same Sex marriage to a lower tier of legitimacy just three years after the court legalized gay weddings.

The orange clown Donald Trump claimed he has the "absolute right" to pardon himself in the investigation of illegal Russian influence over the 2016 US presidential election.  The White House later tried to clarify that no one is above the law, which would be a total conflict with the clown's earlier statement.  Putting aside the obvious question - "If you're innocent, why would you need to pardon yourself?" - Trump's claim is dubious, at best.  The US Department of Justice's own website says, "Under the fundamental rule that no one may be a judge in his own case, the President cannot pardon himself."  The clown wants to assume the powers of a monarch - will the Republican majority in government stop him?

Melania Trump has been missing in action for 24 days, but reportedly will finally make an appearance at a White House event on Monday night to honor Gold Star families, the US term for families of fallen military personal.  Oh, but cameras will not be allowed.  Nice.  The wife of the orange clown was last seen in early May greeting three Korean Americans as they arrived at the military airport outside Washington, DC following their released from detention by North Korea.  Days after that, the White House claimed she had sought treatment for a "benign kidney condition".  Since then, she has not been seen in public, nor did she join the clown and the rest of the family at Camp David last weekend.

King Abdullah has accepted the resignation of Jordan's embattled Prime Minister Hani Mulki after days of growing anti-government protests that were sparked by anger over conservative economic policies.  Mulki had tried to implement the austerity prescribed by the International Monetary Fund, which included an income tax hike and abolishing bread subsidies.  Abdullah asked Omar al-Razzaz, a former World Bank economist, to form a new government.  Such discontent is rare in Jordan, one of the Middle East's most-stable countries.

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe appears to be sweeping an influence peddling scandal behind him.  The Osaka prosecutor over the weekend announced there would be no charges filed in the scandal involving a right-wing school linked to Abe getting a fire-sale price on some prime land in the western Japanese city.  The Finance Ministry says it is "punishing" 20 bureaucrats who altered public documents to remove references to Abe to the land sale, and Finance Minister Taro Aso said he would give back his year's salary as penance (never mind that Mr. Aso's immense family wealth was built on using allied prisoners as slave labor during World War II, so a public servant's salary is only so many cherry blossoms under a bridge).  Abe faces a party leadership vote in September, although opposition lawmakers are demanding he resign now.
