Belgium is bracing for a possible snap election in January after Prime Minister Charles Michel resigned, bringing his four year old government to an end.  The Flemish nationalist party quit the ruling coalition over the weekend because of his support for a UN migration agreement; The Socialists and Greens refused to endorse his minority government, and Mr. Michel submitted his resignation.  He'll run a caretaker government for the country that hosts the heart of the European Union and NATO, and is appealing to opponents not to call for an early election before the scheduled poll in May - but the warring parties each want a voice in the new government, thus raising the likelihood of an election next month.

The UN migration agreement likely to be approved in the General Assembly tomorrow is a non-binding resolution that seeks to help refugees by improving their prospects in their host countries while improving conditions in their countries of origin.  It also calls for nations to develop ways to allow their safe and dignified return to their homelands.  It initially drew the support of all four parties in Belgium's now-defunct government - but the nationalist New Flemish Alliance (N-VA) changed its mind over the weekend, amid violent protests by far-right anti-immigration groups. 

Hey Judge, tell us how you really feel!  A US judge in Washington unloaded on Donald Trump's former national security adviser Michael Flynn for lying to FBI agents:  "Arguably, you sold your country out," said US District Judge Emmet Sullivan, "I'm not hiding my disgust, my disdain for this criminal offense."  At one point, Sullivan asked prosecutors if Flynn could have been charged with Treason for working as an agent of a foreign government - Turkey - while simultaneously working on Trump's presidential campaign.  Mind you, this was supposed to be a cut-and-dry sentencing hearing in which Flynn was probably expecting not to get any jail time because of his cooperation with the Robert Mueller probe into Russian influence over Trump's campaign.  Flynn's lawyers eventually took a hint and requested a delaying to the sentencing, which will now happen sometime early next year.

Film director and actor Penny Marshall is dead of complicated from diabetes at age 75.  After guesting on TV sitcoms in the 1960s and '70s, she rocketed to fame on the "Happy Days" spin-off "Laverne and Shirley", on which she wisely built her resume by directing several episodes.  After the show was cancelled, she directed a series of hit movies:  "Jumpin' Jack Flash " (1986) with Whoopi Goldberg; "Big" (1988) with Tom Hanks; "Awakenings" (1990) with Robert DeNiro and Robin Williams; "A League of Their Own" (1992) with Tom Hanks, Madonna, and Geena Davis; "Renaissance Man" (1994) with Danny DeVito; "The Preacher's Wife" (1996) with Denzel Washington and Whitney Houston; and "Riding in Cars with Boys" (2001) with Drew Barrymore. 

Hungary's opposition plans more protests - including roadblocks - against the new "slave law" passed by the far-right government, a law which critics say allows employers to demand workers put in hundreds of hours of overtime that doesn't have to be paid for up to three years.  A coalition of opposition groups are also promising unspecified acts of "civil disobedience".  A government spokesman blamed the protests on Hungarian billionaire financier George Soros, whose pro-democracy institutions have rubbed autocratic leader Viktor Orban the wrong way for a while now.

The cease fire appears to be taking hold at Yemen's port city of Hudaydah, a calm which is crucial to the delivery of food and medical aid to the starving masses.  Three years of proxy war between Saudi Arabia and its allies versus Iranian-backed rebels has left 14 million people on the brink of famine.  An estimated 85,000 children are believed to have already died from malnutrition.
