UPDATED:  The Irish Government says that Donald Trump will not visit in November.  The cancellation was first reported in the Irish Independent newspaper, and it took the Taoiseach's office by surprise.  Even as the Irish media picked up on the story, the White House was still claiming that the trip was merely "up in the air".  Now, it looks like Trump will not only not visit Dublin (and his golf course in Ireland), but his Armistice Day visit to France is also off.  Opposition parties Sinn Fein, Labour, and the Greens were all planning to take part in protests against Trump, which were shaping up to be a much larger event than the visit itself.

A pair of Aussie firefighters who went to America to help out in a difficult fire season instead spent three harrowing hours dodging bullets in mountainous rain forest of Washington state in a nightmare encounter.  The men had been with a group surveying fire-damaged forest around White Pass in the Cascade Mountains outside Seattle, and were wearing bright yellow so that hunters wouldn't and couldn't mistake them for deer roaming through the woods.  But two gunmen with scoped rifles opened fire from across a ridge, and the firies spent three hours ditching their colors so they couldn't be seen and ducking from bullets.  They were evacuated by helicopter three hours later.  Although NSW Fire and Rescue said, "We are confident the matter was dealt with appropriately by US authorities," the identities of the American gunmen and their motivations are unknown.

The International Criminal Court (ICC) says it will continued its investigation into American servicemen over alleged detainee abuse in Afghanistan.  This is despite threats from US National Security Adviser John Bolton vowing to do everything "to protect our citizens", and warning of possible sanctions if the ICC went ahead with the investigation.  The ICC shrugged off the threats in a statement, defending itself as an "instrument to ensure accountability for crimes that shock the conscience of humanity".

More than 100 migrants died in a shipwreck off the Libyan coastline on the first day of September.  Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) learned of the tragedy - the largest migrant death toll in the Mediterranean in several months - because it treated the survivors who are now "arbitrarily detained" near Tripoli.  More than 500 migrants have died while attempting to cross the Mediterranean so far this year, according to the International Organization for Migration (IOM).

EU ministers and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban faced off in Brussels over Orban's attacks on the free media, NGOs, minorities and immigrants, and moves to control the court.  It's the first time the continental union has attempted to use Article 7 to sanctions a member state.  Orban arrived late to the proceedings and bitterly charged, "You think you know better than Hungarians themselves", and that Hungary "will protect its rights, if needed, from you, too.".  But Liberal MEP and former Belgian Prime Minister Guy Verhofstadt said "under these circumstances" it would be "impossible today" if Orban's Hungary were petitioning to join the EU.  Even if the EU decides to sanction Hungary, the process of deciding and implementing penalties could take years.

A packed bus plunged off a road in the southern Indian state of Telangana, killing 53 people.  The vehicle was overcrowded with Hindu pilgrims en route to a temple town fora religious ceremony.

India's Supreme Court has ruled that forest rangers can put down a "man eating" tigress believed to be responsible for the deaths of five people in the western state of Maharashtra.  Rangers will hunt and attempt to tranquilize the beast, but if that fails they will try to kill it.  Campaigners claimed there is no definitive proof that the tiger being hunted is actually responsible for eating people, but the court ruled on the side of caution.
