Good Morning Australia!! - Bob Hawke is in hospital - Boris takes it to the only place he's sure Trump will see it - The bravest bride in the world - And much more in your CareerSpot Global News Briefs:

Former Prime Minister Bob Hawke was admitted to hospital on Monday night.  The Royal North Shore hospital did not comment, and it's not clear why the 88-year old checked in; while a spokeswoman denied reports of pneumonia or a stroke, a Labor source told the ABC Mr. Hawke would undergo tests after a case of "the wobbles". 
Bob Hawke, then.....Bob Hawke, more recentlyThe former Labor leader served as Australia's 23rd prime minister from 1983-1991 and led Labor to four consecutive election victories.

British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson took his case for America to stay in the Iran Nuclear deal to the forum where Donald Trump was most-likely to see it:  The orange clown's favorite TV show, Fox and Friends on Rupert Murdoch's right-wing television network.  Johnson acknowledged that the deal is now perfect, but implored the clown not to "throw the baby out with the bathwater" and pledged to work with him to improve the deal.  Trump has repeatedly criticized, but has publicly offered no alternative.  he has until Saturday to decide if the US remains part of the only thing keeping Tehran from pursuing nuclear weapons.

Russian President Vladimir Putin was sworn in for a fourth term in office.  He took a short ride from his office to the site of the ceremony in a brand new, Russian-made limo that will replace the imported Western vehicles Russian officials have preferred since the end of the Cold War.  "Taking up this post, I feel a colossal sense of responsibility," he told sycophantic officials and a few Western friends crowded in the borderline-garish Grand Kremlin Palace (seriously, unnecessary gold gilt EVERYWHERE), "The object of my life and my work will be to serve the people and the fatherland."  Although he's in for another six years, how long Russia can keep up this pretense is anyone's guess:  Putin presides over a stagnant economy and falling wages while a kakistocracy increasingly skims off the top.

Hezbollah has made significant gains in Lebanon's election, showing the dangers of what happens when a government ignores the basics such as picking up the trash regularly.  An Iran-backed political, military, and social movement, Hezbollah and its allies had won at least 67 of the 128 seats in parliament.  The country's power sharing agreement states the prime minister should be a Sunni Muslim, the speaker of parliament a Shiite, and the president a Maronite Christian.  But Prime Minister Saad Hariri and his Western-backed Future Movement are weakened by the election result.

A botched Afghan air strike on what was supposed to be Taliban leaders instead killed at least 30 children and wounded 51 more.  According a UN report, hundreds of men and boys were attending the event in the Dasht-e Archi district on 2 April when the government attacked it with rockets and heavy machine gun fire from helicopters.  Kabul initially claimed that 18 militants had been killed and accused the Taliban of turning its fire onto the civilians.

Nicaragua's legislature set up a panel to investigate the deaths of several students during protests over the past few weeks.  People hit the streets when President Daniel Ortega proposed social security reforms that would have workers and companies contributing more but pensioners getting less out the other end.  As the protests grew in intensity, the government stopped counting at ten deaths but rights groups say there were at least 40 lives lost.  Critics  say the congress is predominantly pro-Ortega, and thus the probe will be biased.

Air France shares plunged in Monday trading on news the CEO is quitting and workers would continue rolling strikes meant to secure a 5.1 percent wage hike.  France's transport minister over the weekend threatened the airline could "disappear" and warned there would be no government bail-out. 

It's believed the Hawaiian volcano on the Big Island's east side has consumed 35 homes.

Hunters in Uganda are tracking the leopard that snatched and killed a three year old outside the family's safari lodge at the popular Queen Elizabeth National Park.  The boy followed his nanny out into an unenclosed area:  "The maid was not aware the child followed her.  She heard the kid scream for help.  She intervened but it was too late.  The leopard had vanished with it," Uganda Wildlife Authority spokesman Bashir Hangi said.   The leopard will be put down because it has lost its fear of humans, authorities say.

A Zimbabwean woman went through with her wedding despite losing her arm to a crocodile just days before.  Zanele Ndlovu was canoeing down the Zambezi river with her fiance Jamie Fox when the croc launched of the water, crushing their inflatable boat and taking her arm.  They were to wed at Victoria Falls on Saturday.  But because the croc screwed that up, they used the chapel at the Mater Dei Hospital in Bulawayo city.
