Hello Australia!! - Scott Morrison reportedly is rushing back to Australia amid the heat and bushfire crisis - Two "hero" firies are killed in NSW - Near-50 C Degree heat melts SA's roads - And more in your CareerSpot Global News Briefs:

Two volunteer firefighters with the Horsley Park Brigade are dead after their vehicle crashed into a tree and rolled as it was travelling in a convoy late last night.  The firies were battling the Green Wattle Creek Fire, which is still burning at an emergency level.  New South Wales Rural Fire Service Commissioner Shane Fitzsimmons consoled the families, while NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian said the state had lost "two heroes".  Three other passengers were taken to Liverpool Hospital for treatment.  The tragedy happened at the end of a brutal day that saw the loss of up to 40 homes in Buxton, Balmoral, Bargo, and the surrounding areas.  About 2,500 firefighters are still battling more than 100 blazes across NSW.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison says he "deeply regrets" any offence for jetting out of the country on holiday as Australia suffers one of its worst bushfire disasters against the background of worsening climate change.  The PM is reportedly cutting-short his undisclosed location-vacation, announcing that he will return to Sydney from overseas as soon as transportation can be arranged.  While the hashtag #WhereTheBloodyHellAreYou trends at home, an Aussie tourist in Hawaii posted a photo to social media showing a man who looks exactly like ScoMo enjoying bevvies in paradise while flashing the "hang loose" sign popular in Hawaiian surf culture.

Morrison says the country had been well-managed by the Acting Prime Minister Michael McCormack, Natural Disaster Minister David Littleproud, and the Foreign Minister Marise Payne during his absence.

Scorching temperatures are predicted again today for parts of South Australia.  The bitumen started to melt on several roads around the state as the mercury reached 49.9 C degrees in Nullarbor.  The extreme heat and high winds are adding up to incredible bushfire danger:  "Under these conditions [fires are] so erratic, they'll move so fast and develop so quickly, it doesn't matter how many firefighters we have, we're not going to stop the progress of the full spread of fires under these conditions," said Country Fire Service (CFS) deputy chief officer Andrew Stark.

A traffic officer was shot dead when a gunman with an automatic weapon attacked the main entrance to the Lubyanka Building in Moscow, headquarters to the FSB state security service.  Five more people were injured with two of them in a critical condition.  The gunman fled, barricaded himself in a nearby building, and was shot dead by Russian police.  They are now working out his identity and motive.

At least three people are dead in intensifying protests against India's new citizenship law, which extends a pathway to undocumented immigrants from Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Bangladesh as long and they are not Muslim.  The demonstrations are growing despite a ban from the Hindu nationalist government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.  Critics - who say the law undermines India's secular constitution and bodes towards second-class status for millions of Muslims - will get their chance to challenge the aw in the Supreme Court next month.

Italian military police in the thousands carried out the nation's second-largest anti-mafia operation, arresting more than 300 people including current and former government officials.  Most of the raids targeting the 'Ndrangheta mafia gang were centered on the Calabrian city of Vibo Valentia, although other suspects were picked up in Germany, Switzerland, and Bulgaria.  

Two former managers with South Africa's electric utility Eskom are under arrest and charged with fraud and looting as much as AU$76 Million through bodus construction contracts.  The scam is related to the construction of two new large power stations which have yet to be completed despite the work going on for years.
