Only six people survived a plane crash in the mountains outside Medellin, Colombia that killed 75 passengers and crew.  The chartered flight was carrying Brazil's Chapecoense football team on its way to the final of the Copa Sudamericana, against Medellin team Atletico Nacional.  At least three members of the Brazilian team were among the survivors, although they each face long recovery periods from terrible injuries.  Colombian investigators say an electrical short in the plane is to blame.

South Korean President Park Guen-hye is offering to step down amid outrage over an influence-peddling scheme involving her closest associates.  The caveat is that parliament must come up with the process and succession, as no South Korean president has ever quit their five-year term since the end of the military dictatorship.  Millions of Korean workers will take part in a nationwide strike Wednesday to demand Ms. Park's impeachment.

The US is admitting it made a "mistake" in an attack in Syria that killed dozens of Syrian forces fighting the so-called Islamic State - Australian, UK, and Danish aircraft were involved in the attack near Deir al-Zour on 17 September.  The attack didn't stop until the Russian informed the US it was hitting the wrong side.  "In this instance, we did not rise to the high standard we hold ourselves to, and we must do better than this," said US Lieutenant-General Jeff Harrigian. 

The United Nations says Islamic State has been killing uncooperative civilians in Mosul as the battle for Iraq's northern city heats up.  The terrorists killed a dozen civilians who tried to stop them from launching projectiles from a roof, as Iraqi troops advanced.  Another 27 were killed for allegedly providing information to the Iraqis.

Dutch MPs have approved bans on Islamic head coverings in some public places such as schools, hospitals, and on public transport.  Balaclavas, ski masks, and helmets are also covered in the ban, so Prime Minister Mark Rutte's ruling Liberal-Labour coalition claims the bill is "religious-neutral".  Supporters say people should be identifiable in public places.  If it is approved as expected, violators could be fined as much as AU$585 for observing their cultural traditions or keeping their freaking faces warm in freaking northern Europe in freaking December.

With US Homeland Security officials set to arrive in Nauru next week to interview refugees who want to move to the US, the Federal Government says is throwing in a bonus - those who do could be given help to reunite with their families.  It's not clear how many of the detainees in the Nauru and Manus Island camps would be eligible to move.  It's believed the Federal Government is speaking with New Zealand, Malaysia, and Canada about taking some of the other refugees.

Germany's Foreign Intelligence Chief Bruno Kahl is warning of potential Russian interference in next year's elections.  "Europe is in the focus of this attempted disruption, and Germany in particular," Kahl told a German newspaper.  This could be through the growing cancer of fake news stories, or actual hacking of election computers.  Last month, the US formally accused Russia of trying to interfere with its presidential elections by attacking political organizations - and now the Green Party is seeking recounts in the states of Wisconsin, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.

The US moron president-elect Donald Trump successfully distracted the country's corporate media with another tweet storm, calling for people who burn the US flag be sentenced to prison or have their citizenship stripped.  The US Supreme Court ruled that flag-burning is protected speech back in 1989, and it is unconstitutional to denationalize US citizens - can't be done.  However, the US corporate media bought it hook, line, and sinker.  Instead of realizing that Trump is trying to distract from something (like his flagrant conflicts of interest or appointing Washington insiders to his outsiders' cabinet), they had discussions on vile proposals to upset settled law.
