Security will be tight in Melbourne's CBD today after the attack on Bourke Street that authorities are treating as an act of terrorism.  The 31-year old perpetrator this morning was identified as Hassan Khalif Shire Ali.  Authorities say he crashed his truck containing gas bottles, and fatally stabbed one man and injured two other men who remain in hospital this morning.  But it ultimately became a suicide attack, because Melbourne Police Officers were able to shoot Mr. Ali and he died in hospital.  The attacker and his family came to Australia from Somalia in the 1990s, and authorities have had them under their eye in the past.  It'll be a working weekend for anti-terrorism officials as they further investigate the motives for and methods of the violence.

British Transport Minister Jo Johnson has quit the government, delivering a scathing critique of the upcoming Brexit and calling for a new referendum to allow the Brits to decide if they really want to go through with leaving the European Union.  The younger brother of Boris Johnson - who parted ways with his brother to vote to "Remain" in the EU during the first referendum in 2016 - said the plan about to unveiled by Prime Minister Theresa May isn't "anything like what was promised", and he warned:  "Britain stands on the brink of the greatest crisis since the Second World War."  The way Jo Johnson sees it, the choices offered by May are the "never-ending purgatory" of subservience to EU rules without the ability to influence Brussels - or a no-deal "hard Brexit" that would "inflict untold damage on our nation".  The younger of the brothers Johnson insists the "democratic thing to do is to give the public the final say".

At least five people are dead and the town of Paradise in northern California's Sierra Nevada mountain range is pretty much destroyed because of a giant wildfire.  All five were found in burned out vehicles, showing that they tried to escape but were overtook by the advancing inferno.  This is one of three fires that exploded in size because of the hot, dry weather in the Golden State, the other two are north of Los Angeles:  One of those destroyed the Paramount Studios Ranch were some TV series and Westerns were filmed; the other is a stone's throw away from the scene of the mass shooting in Thousands Oaks earlier this week.

Donald Trump personally authorized the paying of hush money to adult film actress Stormy Daniels and former Playboy model Karen McDougal, who both claimed to have had affairs with him.  Despite Trump's previous denial of having knowledge about the payments, the Wall Street Journal reported Friday that federal prosecutors now have evidence of Trump's central role in the hush payments, telling his then-attorney Michael Cohen to "get it done" before his presidential campaign.  Such payments would be a violation of campaign finance laws.

On the 80th anniversary of the Kristallnacht, France is warning of a 69 percent increased in anti-Semitic attacks just in the last year.  "We are a very far cry from ridding ourselves of anti-Semitism," said French Prime Minister Edouard Philippe.  He detailed plans for a network of investigators and magistrates dedicated to the fight against such "heinous acts" and said a national team would be on permanent standby to intervene in schools in support of any teacher confronted by anti-Semitism.

89-year old Imelda Marcos has a couple more steps to try to avoid being sent to prison, after a Philippines court found the former first lady guilty of seven counts of corruption during the two-decade rule of her husband and former dictator, Ferdinand Marcos.  She could appeal it directly to the anti-corruption court; and if that fails, she can challenge the ruling at the Supreme Court.  It was 32 years ago that the Marcos regime was overthrown and her gigantic collection of expensive shoes brought a combination of dark laughter and international disgust over the extravagance while poverty ran amok in the archipelago.  And it was 20 years before that when she caused all that trouble for The Beatles.  That's how long the Philippines have been dealing with this.

No deaths and only six non-life threatening injuries after a Fly Jamaica flight skidded off the runway at Guyana's Cheddi Jagan International Airport.  The Boeing 757 - carrying 126 people including two infants - had just taken off from the South American country, but the pilots reported hydraulic trouble and tried to return.  That's when the plane slid off the runway and wound up partially hung up on a barrier wall.
