Good Morning Australia!! - Iran refuses Trump's invitation - Has Italy's populist-right wing coalition created a "racism emergency"? - NGOs are accused of ignoring a culture of sex abuse - And more in your CareerSpot Global News Briefs:

A UK Parliamentary report says that international aid agencies are "verging on complicity" in an "endemic" sex abuse scandal in the impoverished countries they're supposed to be helping.  The report, welcomed by many charities, comes after revelations earlier this year that senior Oxfam staff paid survivors of the 2010 Haiti earthquake for sex.  UK Labour MP Stephen Twigg said charities were "more concerned to protect their own reputation" than women and children subjected to sex abuse.  The report urges tighter screening of workers and volunteers and a zero-tolerance attitude towards sex abuse.

Facebook says Russia is likely currently meddling with the 2018 US Midterm Election, just as it did with the 2016 Presidential Election.  The social network said it had identified and banned suspicious accounts that engaged in "coordinated inauthentic behavior".  This confirmation comes after the New York Times reported that Facebook officials briefed US lawmakers and pointed to Russia.  Specifically, the fake accounts were pushing coordinated activity around the #AbolishICE movement and a second "Unite the Right" meet-up of white supremacist scum in Charlottesville, Virginia (last year's resulted in the murder of a peaceful counter-protester).  However, a lot was also anti-Trump and pro-Women, so that seems more than a little off.  Anyway, I thought the Helsinki Summit was supposed to have solved this?

North Korea's nuclear missile site is bustling with new activity.  Wait, I thought the Singapore Summit was supposed to have solved this?  Well, US spy satellites have detected vehicles moving in and out of the facility at Sanumdong, where the Kim regime built the first North Korean intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) capable of reaching the United States.  Experts cited by The Washington Post say it appears Pyongyang is building at least two new liquid-fueled ICBMs.  US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo insists the Trump administration was still making progress in its talks with Pyongyang.

Iran is rejecting Donald Trump's idea of a summit (ha) with President Hassan Rouhani, as proposed earlier this week: "I'd meet with anybody.  I believe in meetings," Trump said, "If they want to meet, we'll meet."  But this was a little much for Iran, after Trump and US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo spent the previous week beating the war drums.  An Iranian official tweeted in response to Trump that only "returning to the nuclear deal" that Trump abandoned in May and "respecting the Iranian nation's rights" would pave the way for talks.

Malaysia's civil aviation chief Azharuddin Abdul Rahman has quit after a report into the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 found lapses by controllers in relation to emergency procedures.  Twenty minutes had lapsed before authorities issued an emergency alert about the plane that mysteriously veered off from its Kuala Lumpur to Beijing route in 2014 and disappeared with 239 people on board.

Italian discus-thrower Daisy Osakue believes the attack that damaged one of her eyes was racially motivated, one of a series of attacked that have happened after the a coalition of populists and far right racists won Italy's election.  She is of African descent; someone chucked an egg at her late at night, scratching her cornea - she says she'll be fine and will compete in next month's European Athletics Championships which get under way in Berlin on 7 August.  But with at least five other attacks on black people, it's sparking talk of a "racism emergency" enabled by the anti-immigrant rhetoric by Interior Minister Matteo Salvini and his League party.  Salvini claims these were an "invention of the left".

Zimbabwe's opposition MDC Alliance claims its candidate won the presidential election, and that the ruling Zanu-PF party was attempting to rig the vote.  This week's election - with a high turnout of 70 percent and monitored by international observers - were the first free election since long-time strongman leader Robert Mugabe was ousted.  The election authority insists it is doing its job and by law official results don't have to be announced until Saturday, although it expects to do so much earlier than that.

Slovakia is alarmed at the discovery of a base for the Russian nationalist bikie gang the Night Wolves, which President Andrej Kiska says is "a serious security risk" for the country.  The gang is allied with Russian President Vladimir Putin and the US accuses it of direct involvement in the Ukraine conflict, including attacks and recruiting mercenaries to fight for Russia's interests.  Slovakia was Russia's SSR ally during the Cold War which, like Russia, swung to the right in recent years.  But unlike Russia, it joined NATO and the European Union.
