The orange clown Donald Trump says he will meet with North Korea leader Kim Jong-un on 12 June in Singapore, confirming the obvious after two American advance teams had earlier went to the summit site and North Korea to smooth the way forward.  This comes after North Korea Kim Yong-chul went to the White House and handed over a letter written by his boss, which Trump said was "nice" despite not having had read it yet.  The clown already began playing down expectations, recasting it as a "get to know you" session rather than an actual negotiation.  North Korea did not offer to give up its nuclear program to get Trump to back off cancelling the meeting a week ago.

Italy's populist coalition was sworn into power after a roller coaster week that almost saw the president hand the keys over to an establishment caretaker.  New Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, a political amateur who quit once already earlier this week, will lead a government with the anti-establishment Five Star Movement and the far-right, xenophobic League.  This time, the coalition dumped the anti-European Union pick for Economy Minister and replaced him with the pro-Euro university professor Giovanni Tria. 

The new Prime Minister of Spain is Socialist leader Pedro Sanchez, after lawmakers passed a no-confidence measure to oust conservative Mariano Rajoy of the People's Party.  Rajoy been prime minister since 2011 and is the first to be ousted by a no-confidence motion.  He was undone by a growing corruption scandal and public fatigue with his conservative People's Party (PP) which championed failed austerity measures that hacked away at pensions and social spending.  Hundreds of protesters booed and shouted "Good riddance" as he left parliament, some carrying placards which read "PP - Corrupting Spain since 1990".

Malaysia's former first lady Rosmah Mansor has until Tuesday to report to investigators probing corruption during her husband's time as prime minister.  Rosmah and Najib Razak have been forbidden to leave the country during the probe of missing billions from the the scandal-hit sovereign wealth fund 1MDB.  Eyes started focusing on Rosmah after authorities raided several properties belonging to the first couple, discovering caches of designer goods such as shoes and handbags, and piles of cash - the usual "wife of the dictator" stuff.

The head of Brazil's state-run oil company Petrobras resigned, apparently upset over the government's decision to go around his and cut Diesel prices to end a truck drivers' strike that had crippled the country.  In his two years at the helm, Pedro Parente managed to restore some credibility to Petrobras, which was unprofitable and mired in scandals.  But he also linked the domestic price of petrol to the international market; thus when oil prices went up this year, so did the price of Diesel, and that hurt the Truckies to the point that they had to flex their Union muscle to get the government to help out.  The markets did not like this, wiping some US$15 Billion off of the company's value; Petrobras bonds were also down, as is the Brazilian Real.

German authorities and zookeepers recaptured two lions, two tigers, and a jaguar that escaped their enclosures at a private facility in Lunebach, near the border with Belgium.  However, a bear that also got out of the privately owned Eifel zoo had to be shot and killed.  The animals escaped during flooding that damaged their enclosures, and authorities used drones to search for them.

The latest census of the endangered Mountain Gorilla is over 1,000 for the first time since 2010.  The that 1,004 Mountain Gorillas now exist in the world.  The largest population is 604 living in the Virunga Massif, the volcanic region spanning national parks in three countries:  Parc National des Virunga (PNVi) in the DR Congo, Parc National des Volcans (PNV) in Rwanda, and the Mgahinga Gorilla National Park (MGNP) in Uganda.  Another 400 live in Uganda's Bwindi Impenetrable National Park.  The census was taken in 2016, but in recent weeks the three parks have stopped tourists from visiting the gorillas amid growing militia violence in the rainforest.
