A US Federal Judge ordered the Trump administration to restore the press credentials of CNN reporter Jim Acosta, whom the White House sought to bar after a clash with Donald Trump.  Outside the court, Mr. Acosta told colleagues, "Let's get back to work".  CNN's lawsuit against the administration will continue, claiming that officials violated the First Amendment of the US Constitution - which specifically protects journalists - by banning a reporter over what his coverage of the White House.

The week began with rumors that Trump would fire top staffers and cabinet members, such as Chief of Staff John Kelly and security aide Kirsten Nielsen - none of that happened, and Ms. Nielsen was actually seen standing next to Trump in the Oval Office while he addressed the CNN situation.  But the one head that did roll was the one called for by Melania Trump, who declared through a spokesperson that national security aide Mira Ricardel "no longer deserves the honor of serving in this White House".  Trump wants to keep Ricardel in some capacity, and Bloomberg News reported that he offered to exile her to the cold Baltic Sea in December for the Ambassadorship to Estonia, which she turned down.

At least one air monitoring service says San Francisco has the worst air quality in the world because of the soot and particulate matter from the deadliest wildfire in California history.  At least 63 people have died in the Camp Fire - and authorities announced that the number of missing people from the destroyed community of Paradise is now 631.  In the dust and smoke, workers in bio-hazard suits with cadavers could be seen looking inside burned homes and vehicles.  And for the survivors, there is more misery:  More than half of the Paradise Police force is homeless, and norovirus is racing through the evacuation shelters, sickening around 145 people.

Disgruntled Tory backbenchers are almost halfway to their goal of calling a no-confidence motion against UK Prime Minister Theresa May.  So far, 23 members of the right side of the governing Conservative Party have written letters calling for the motion; 48 are needed to make it happen.  Organizers believe they'll exceed their goal next week.  The letters are the manifestation of Conservative dissatisfaction over the Brexit deal as presented by 10 Downing Street, which they believe is a cave-in to EU demands.

A United Nations tribunal found two key members of Cambodia's Khmer Rouge guilty of genocide.  Pol Pot's deputy Nuon Chea, now aged 92, and 87-year old former head of state Khieu Samphan were charged with exterminating Muslim and Vietnamese minority groups.  But more than two million people are believed to have been killed in the four-year nightmare of the Khmer Rouge's rule in the late 1970s, as Pol Pot used mass murder to force the nation to transition into a purely agrarian communal society.

At least 42 people are dead after a bus fire in Zimbabwe.  It's believe the fire started with a gas cylinder brought on to the crowded passenger vehicle.

Scientists found a "sad surprise" in Brazil's Amazon in the first evidence of plastic contamination in freshwater in the ecosystem.  More than 80 percent of the fish species examined from the Xingu River - one of the major tributaries of the Amazon - revealed a dozen distinct polymers used to manufacture plastic items, including bags, bottles, and fishing gear.  "It is awful to know that plastic debris is ingested by 80 percent of analyzed fish species, and that many of them are consumed by humans in the Amazon," said Professor Marcelo Andrade of the Federal University of Para, "Plastic pollution is a real threat to humans around the world."
