Good Morning Australia!! - An Australia child is killed in Iraq - World leaders mock Trump in a funny photo - The dictator who paid dearly for crossing the CIA is dead - And more in your CareerSpot Global News Briefs:

An Australian twelve-year old girl is reportedly among the victims of a terrorist bombing at an ice cream parlor in Baghdad.  The explosion ripped through the al-Faqma shop in a Shiite neighborhood as people were breaking the Ramadan fast.  There are 16 reported fatalities, including the little girl from Thomastown in Melbourne, who was visiting her grandfather in the Iraqi capital at the time.  This attack and another bombing that killed ten were claimed by the so-called Islamic State - radical Sunni extremists who consider the Shiites to be heretics. 

German police arrested a 17-year old asylum seeker for allegedly planning a suicide attack in Berlin.  Police have not confirmed the boy is from Syria, or that the plot was anything more than talk.  The boy reportedly used WhatsApp to send a message to his family saying farewell and that he was joining the "jihad".  This is the first time the boy had come to the attention of police, after living in a home for unaccompanied underage refugees northeast of Berlin since 2016.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel welcomed Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in a meeting laced with backhanded slams against the orange clown in the White House.  Merkel said: "The times in which we can fully count on others are somewhat over, as I have experienced in the past few days," with the 'others' being the US and UK and her 'experience' being the vulgar and boorish behavior of Donald Trump over his first trip to Europe.  "India wants the world not just to be interconnected but also that it should be sensibly run," she said, slamming Trump while endorsing a new trade deal between India and the European Union.  India and Germany are two of the largest economies implementing the Paris Climate Accords.

Trump still hasn't announced on whether America will keep its word on the Paris Climate deal, but he has reportedly told confidantes that he will pull out of the deal.  The moron believes that the undeniable reality of man-made global warming is a Chinese hoax.  Because he's an idiot.  And the clown show is about to get worse with a shake-up in the White House.  Communications director Mike Dubke is out after only three months of failing to control the scandal over collusion with the Russians.  Controversial figures are being considered to come in, including Corey Lewandowski who "distinguished" himself by manhandling a female reporter during the campaign last year.

The White House's Russia scandal has now enveloped Trump's son-in-law and advisor Jared Kushner and Trump's personal lawyer Michael Cohen, who is refusing to requests for information from two congressional panels investigating alleged Kremlin political meddling.  Cohen claims the requests were "overly broad" and "not capable of being answered".  Kushner is keeping a low profile after published reports said he asked the Russians to use their intelligence electronic network inside the Russian Embassy to set up a back channel of communications beyond the scope of US intelligence and diplomatic norms.

Remember all of those times that the leaders of Western Democracies got together to mock the President of the United States?  Trick question, because it never really happened - until today.  The Prime Ministers of Denmark, Norway, Finland, Sweden, and Iceland all posed with a soccer ball to re-create that weird photo with Donald Trump, The Saudi King and Egypt's president holding a glowing orb at an anti-terrorism control center.

Hail Hydra
The Trump version was widely lambasted on the Internet before this, with people adding their own funny captions to the image of Trump and that others appearing to be super-villains.  According to the Nordic leaders - who posed with a soccer ball - the glowing orb "loses power and is somewhat less threatening on these latitudes".

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and South Korean President Moon Jae-in re-affirmed their common stance against provocations from North Korea, which launched another missile into the Sea of Japan a couple of days ago.  This one was a Scud, and reportedly did make it as far as Japanese territorial waters.  The US responded today by testing a new long-range interceptor missile, an action seen as as a test of US ability to counter a North Korean ICBM launch.

South Sudan has put 13 soldiers on trial for raping foreign aid workers and murdering their local colleague last July.  The attack on the Terrain Hotel in the capital Juba on 11 July 2016 occurred as government troops and rebels were battling for control of the city.  UN investigators accuse both sides of murder, torture and rape since the civil war began in 2013.

Former Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega is dead of cancer at age 83.  Noriega was a right-wing military CIA asset who attended the notorious School of the Americas which taught torture and oppression techniques to US-backed dictatorships.  Even though the CIA knew about his drug trafficking as far back as the 1960s, he became a problem when began to double-cross the US and shared intelligence with rival agencies and drug cartels.

So the US sent in the troops to remove him from power during 1989's hilariously-named "Operation Just Cause", in which they surrounded him and played heavy metal music at blasting volumes until he surrender.  Not so hilarious: 260 people were killed and 20,000 were displaced in the US military operation to capture one man.  The US arrested him, convicted him, and kept him in America's most-secure prison until 2007.  Noriega was extradited to France to face more charges, jailed, and extradited to Panama where he remained jailed until house arrest earlier this year.
