Good Morning Australia!! - A miracle rescue raises spirits after an earthquake in Italy - Trump's finger-pointing at Pakistan threatens to undo regional anti-terrorism cooperation - The Barcelona terrorists were plotting even worse attacks - And more in your CareerSpot Global News Briefs:

Rescuers pulled three young brothers from their ruined home after an earthquake on the Italian Mediterranean resort island of Ischia.  They got 7-month old Pasquale Toscano out first, followed by his seven-year old brother Mattias, and then eleven-year old Ciro - who is being called a hero for pushing his brother to safety under a bed when the shaking started.  The boys suffered only slight injuries.  Two women died and at least three dozen other people were injured in the relatively mild magnitude 4.0 temblor, raising concerns for shoddy, illegally built structures on the tourist island popular for its mineral baths.

Pakistan is staying somewhat silent after Donald Trump faulted it for sheltering terrorists in his long-awaited and yet nebulous speech on his administration's Afghanistan policy.  Washington's relations with Islamabad have been problematic for a while, but Trump's open military posturing and finger wagging is likely to push away a crucial partner in the war on terror.  An anonymous Pakistani intelligence official told The Guardian that Trump didn't realize "Pakistan itself is the victim of terrorism".  By comparison, Pakistan's nuclear rival India is pretty darned happy with Trump's praise as "the world's largest democracy and a key security and economic partner of the United States", while diminishing Pakistan as "in the past" being merely "a valued partner".

By publicly embracing India instead of treating the two nuclear-armed neighbors somewhat equally, as past US administrations have been careful to do, Trump risks pushing Pakistan deeper into the orbit of China:  He obliquely threatened "billions" of dollars in foreign aid to Pakistan, which Islamabad has never been in a better position to withstand because of China's recent, massive investment in its neighbor.  And in Beijing, Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying made a point of rising to Pakistan's defense, reminding Trump it had made "great sacrifices" in fighting terrorism. 

An Indian court has ruled the divorce practice of "triple Talaq" is unconstitutional, in a big victory for Muslim women.  Prior to this, Muslim men were actually allowed to divorce their wives just by repeating the Arabic word for "repudiation" - Talaq - three times.  Even Pakistan and conservative Saudi Arabia have already banned it, favoring more traditional legal means for dissolving marriages.  Prime Minister Narendra Modi said the "historic" ruling "grants equality to Muslim women and is a powerful measure for women('s) empowerment".

One of the surviving suspects in last week's terrorist attack in Barcelona, Spain says his cell was planning even worse crimes.  A van plowed into a crowd of pedestrians, killing 13 people including seven-year old Sydney boy Julian Cadman, and injuring his mother and dozens of other people.  A 14th victim was killed in another attack in a village outside Barcelona.  Most of the suspected cell members were shot and killed in battles with police, but four were arrested.  One says bigger attacks with explosives were planned, and two say an imam from northeastern Spain encouraged their crimes and planned to stage a suicide attack himself.

A US judge approved the extradition of a former El Salvadoran police commander to Spain to stand trial for the 1989 murder of a group of Catholic priests, most of whom were from Spain.  Ex-Colonel Inocente Orlando Montano Morales was vice minister for public security for El Salvador's fascist, militarist dictatorship in the 1980s.  The priests were killed for allegedly working with Leftist rebels.  But the summary executions of the priests, plus their housekeeper and her daughter, was a bridge too far for the US congress, which held hearings on the atrocity and learned the Montano's death squad was trained by the US military.  After sheltering the aging and ailing Montano for a few years, Uncle Sam now appears to be sloughing off its responsibility and sending him off to trial in Spain.

A US governor has stayed the scheduled execution of a man convicted of murder in what critics say was a botched prosecution.  Since Marcellus Williams was convicted in 2001, DNA analysis of crime scene evidence fails to link him to the 1998 murder of former newspaper reporter Felicia Gayle in Saint Louis, Missouri.  "There is conclusive scientific evidence that another man committed the crime," wrote defense lawyer Kent Gipson.  A footprint found at the scene also does not match the defendant's shoes.  And jury selection for the trial was racially-tinged:  Williams is black and Gayle was white, and prosecutors were allowed to preemptively strike six out of seven prospective black jurors.  Amnesty International is urging Missouri Governor Eric Greitens to take the next step and grant clemency.

"Some remains" of ten missing US sailors have been found in flooded compartments of the battleship USS John McCain (named after the Arizona Senator's father).  This comes after Monday's collision of the McCain with an oil tanker off Malaysia.  Searchers are working to identify one body found in the water that might be one of the missing Americans.  The tanker wasn't badly damaged.  CNN reports the USS John McCain suffered a steering system failure before the collision, but there's no evidence of a cyber attack.

China is raising the speed limit on its high speed trains to 350 kilometers per hour, which will make them the fastest trains in the world.  Officials cut the top speed limit to 300 KPH in 2011 following the deaths of 40 people in two bullet train crashes. 

Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari can't catch a break.  He's being forced to work out of his home for three months because his official office is infested with rats.  Mr. Buhari just returned to Nigeria from several months in London where he was treated for an undisclosed illness - in fact, Buhari spent more of this year in the UK than in Abuja.
