New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern will seek more information from Nauru about the detention of a TVNZ journalist at the Pacific Island Forum.  Reporter Barbara Dreaver said, "I was interviewing a refugee outside a restaurant when a group of three police officers showed up in a truck and ordered me to turn off the camera," and, "They wanted to see my visa and said I breached my visa, I'm only meant to report on forum matters, and told me I had to go in the police car with them the police station."  She was released about three hours later.  The Nauru government later claimed that Ms. Dreaver had voluntarily gone to the police station, and that no journalist had been prevented from talking to any person - but Dreaver did not follow the correct procedure.  Nauru banned the ABC from entering the country to cover the forum, accusing it of biased coverage.

The most powerful typhoon to hit Japan in 25 years slammed the heavily populated metro area of Kyoto, Osaka, and Kobe; at least six people were killed and there's all sorts of infrastructure damage.  While the storm surge submerged Kansai International Airport which is built on an artificial island out in Osaka Bay, a big tanker ship broke loose of its moorings and slammed into and damaged the causeway providing the only traffic and rail access.  Around 3,000 workers are stranded at the airport.  Elsewhere, the storm tore corrugated roofs and walls off of industrial buildings; flying debris crashed into the approximately seven-storey atrium in Kyoto Station, causing a glass hazard.  This will be a costly storm for the Kansai region, and it's the third disaster this summer following a killer heatwave and flooding from an earlier typhoon.

The situation inside the White House is even worse than you think, according to the bombshell book by journalist Bob Woodward, a man with a highly respected record whose word and work has carried considerable weight since he broke the Watergate scandal in the 1970s.  In the pages of "Fear: Trump in the White House", aides surreptitiously took documents off Trump's desk to prevent him from pursuing disastrous, ill-thought policies; generals and Trump's ex-military inner circle reject his calls for killings and wars, and call him an "idiot" with the understanding of a "fifth grader" behind his back; Trump viciously berated his own staff, in particular calling Attorney General Jeff Sessions "mentally retarded" and "a dumb southerner".  Late in the afternoon, the White House issued a statement accusing one of the respected and verified journalists of our time of making it all up.

Brazil's government is asking for funding to rebuild the national museum, which burned down this week.  President Michel Temer says the government is reaching out to corporations and banks, while other officials say international feelers are out and an appeal will be made to the UNESCO World eritage agency.  Museum insiders blamed the disaster on years of funding cuts and officials' lack of concern for fire safety for the disaster, which destroyed about 90 percent of the museums 20 million-item collection.

Authorities in Austria - not Australia - are trying to figure out why a Kangaroo is bouncing around the countryside near the small town of Kirchschlag in the mountainous country's north.  That's about 14,000 kilometers from where he's supposed to be.  "We have called all the zoos and kangaroo breeders around us, but no-one is missing a kangaroo.  We hope the owner will come forward," said a local police official.  Eyewitness Ruth Kastner said the Kangaroo "hopped a bit over the meadow and then moved away from the road towards the forest" adding, "I think it's so splendid!"
