Good Morning Australia!! - The EU hands Apple a multi-billion dollar tax bill - A miscarriage of Justice in America, and steps to prevent its repeat - Investigators document dozens of mass graves left behind by Islamic State - And more in your CareerSpot Global News Briefs:

The European Union has ruled that Ireland gave an illegal helping hand to US computer corporation Apple in the form of excess tax breaks, and is ordering the tech company to pay 13 Billion Euros (AU$19.3 Billion).  European Union officials have long grumbled that US multinationals like Apple, Amazon, and McDonalds hit sweetheart deals with EU countries to pay unusually low tax in exchange for basing their EU operations there - in other words, they get to do business in the EU without paying their taxes and contributing a thing to the overall bloc's tax base.  Ireland likes the 5,500 domestic jobs the deal with Apple created, and will back the company's appeal - even though restitution would mean more than 2,800 Euros for every woman, man, and child in the country.

The terrorist group Islamic State isn't trying too hard to cover up evidence of its atrocities in Iraq.  The AP says it has documented as many as 72 mass graves in areas of Iraq that IS has abandoned, with each pit containing from three to dozens to perhaps thousands of bodies.  Two pits were located at the bottom of Mount Sinjar, site of the infamous massacre of the Yazidi people. 

Islamic State is admitting that a senior official who acted as the terrorist group's top spokesman is dead.  Abu Muhammad al-Adnani was "martyred while surveying the operations to repel the military campaigns against Aleppo", according to a statement from IS's news agency.  Adnani is the one who called for lone-wolf attacks in the West.  It's not clear how he died (or who killed him) and the US isn't commenting on the death of someone who's been fighting them since 2003 and on whose head Washington put a US$5 Million bounty.

A suicide car bomber rammed the gates of the Chinese Embassy in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, killing himself and three embassy workers.  No group has claimed responsibility for the attack.

California state lawmakers are closing a loophole that allowed a rapist to walk out of jail after an egregiously light sentence.  Former Stanford University swimmer Brock Turner will walk free on Friday after being convicted of raping an unconscious woman.  Judge Aaron Persky - who has since stopped hearing criminal cases - infamously sentenced Turner to only six months in jail, because he didn't want to "ruin" the defendant's future.  Cali judges will no longer have that option.  That set off a debate in the US over white privilege and vestigial sexism in the legal system of a purportedly Left-wing state.  The victim released her impact statement from the trial, which was widely read and praised by Vice President Joe Biden.

A Pretoria, South Africa girl's high school has quietly suspended its rules on how students can wear their own hair after black girls complained they were unfairly targeted by teachers and staffer for not straightening their curls - with some of the teachers straying into racist abuse.  Last weekend's protest against Pretoria Girls High went viral on social media with the hashtag #StopRacismAtPretoriaGirlsHigh, and now the provincial education minister said the school is going to knock it off.

Monsoon flooding on India's Ganges River is breaking records.  "We have also recorded unprecedented flood levels at Hathidah and Bhagalpur of Bihar state and Balliya of Uttar Pradesh," said the chief of India's Central Water Commission G.S. Jha.  More than half a million people have been evacuated and 150 are dead in Bihar state alone; Uttar Pradesh is also impacted by the flooding.

Italy held another state funeral, this time for 37 victims of last week's killer earthquake in Amatrice which was one of the worst-hit towns.  The Roman Catholic Bishop of Rieti Domenico Pompili warned political leaders not to allow "political quarrels" to delay reconstruction of towns in the hills northeast of Rome:  "If we abandon these villages, we will kill them for a second time," he said.

The main white male conservative prosecutor in the impeachment trial of Brazil's democratically-elected President Dilma Rousseff urged the senate to impeach her to "mark the beginning of a new era".  Ms. Rousseff is probably going to be thrown out of office for allegedly covering up a budget deficit with an accounting trick - which not only isn't illegal, but Rousseff also isn't charged with any actual corruption, unlike most of the Brazilian Senate.  "The impeachment process began the minute Dilma won the (2014) presidential election," said her lawyer Jose Eduardo Cardozo who added her impeachment would be "the political death penalty" of an honest politician.
