Good Morning Australia!! - Theresa May again fails to stand up to Trump - Houthi rebels launch a missile at Saudi Arabia's king - The EU moves against Poland - The train in the deadly derailment was going too fast, US officials say - And more in your CareerSpot Global News Briefs:

British Prime Minister Theresa May called Donald Trump to reiterate the UK's opposition to his declaration recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.  Ms. May specifically stated her disagreement with Trump's plan to move the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, which she previously called "unhelpful" to the peace process.  May failed to use the same call to confront Trump about his retweeting of racist videos from a British far right group.

This comes a day after the UK and 13 other members of the United Nations Security Council isolated the US, presenting a resolution calling it to rescind Trump's Jerusalem declaration and to adhere to the pre-existing resolutions on Jerusalem which specify that the city's final status be decided in direct negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians.  US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley vetoed that resolution, which was written by Egypt and did not mention the orange clown by name.

On the 1,000th day of the Yemen Civil war, Houthi rebels fired a ballistic missile at the home of Saudi Arabia's king, but it was intercepted by Saudi Arabia's missile defenses.  There were no casualties nor damage.  Witnesses reported an explosion followed by a cloud of smoke in the air.  This comes amid allegations that Iran is supply the Houthi with missiles.

Australian counter-terrorism police charged a 25-year-old western Sydney man with traveling to Syria to fight for a "terrorist organisation".  Belal Betka faces life in prison for "incursion into foreign countries with the intention of engaging in hostile activities".  He's the first person charged with that in Australia.

The European Union is expected to begin the process that could eventually strip Poland of its voting rights, after the conservative government in Warsaw passed judicial reforms seen as regressive and abusive in the West.  The first step could be a formal warning is taken against Poland's right-wing government on Wednesday, which would be an unprecedented act against a member state.  Under Poland's new laws, the ruling far right PiS party would have the power to appoint judges, and judges would have the power to reopen long-settled cases opening the country up to a wave of vindictive political and social score-settling that in a free country would be illegal. 

There is discomfort in the Czech Republic after a former Communist police official known for trying to put down a 1989 anti-government rally with attack dogs and water cannons was put in charge of the country's police watchdog.  The appointment of cop-turned-politician Zdenek Ondracek is part of deal-making with the Communists and other groups by billionaire and politician Andres Babis to get support from the fringes to form a minority government.  Ondracek was unsuccessful in 1989, for those protests eventually grew into massive public pressure that ended Soviet domination in what was then Czechosolvakia.

South Africa's governing ANC party picked Cyril Ramaphosa, an anti-apartheid activist turned tycoon and politician, as its new leader.  The ANC has been in charge since the fall of apartheid, but in recent years has been tainted by scandals. 

The US Amtrak passenger train was going nearly three times the speed limit when it sailed off of a bridge onto an Interstate Highway south of Seattle in Washington State, killing at least three people.  The train was going 80 MPH (more than 125 KPH) in a zone rated for 30 MPH (less than 50 KPH).  Automation that should have slowed the train had been disabled.  "The Positive Train Control equipment has been installed and is now still in testing, which is why the system has not been activated," said Amtrak spokesman Jason Abrams.  Recovery crews on Tuesday removed the last cars and debris from Highway I-5, the main north-south route in the western United States stretching from San Diego in the south to the Canadian border in the north.

Argentina's government has passed a controversial reform of the country's pension system despite public opposition and violent protests.  President Mauricio Macri's government said the move was necessary to lower the deficit.  Not only will payments be lowered, but the retirement age for men is being raised from 65 to 70 for men and from 60 to 63 for women.  Average life expectancy for a man in Argentina?  72.7 years.  Work 'til you die, according to Macri's conservative government.

Billionaire former president Sebastian Pinera was elected to a second term in Chile, by a much wider margin than expected - 54.6 percent to 45.4 percent for his center-Left opponent Alejandro Guillier.  But Pinera's conservatives didn't get a majority in the legislature, so he might have a harder time undoing the successful policies of outgoing President Michelle Bachelet.
