The Saudi-led coalition dropped American-made bombs in airstrikes that killed 30 people including 22 children in Yemen.  The Houthi rebel health ministry says the victims were killed attempting to escape the bombing in rebel-held territory on Wednesday.  "Four people were killed in the strike before, that's why they fled. They wanted to save their lives, their children's lives.  Is nowhere safe for us?" one survivor said.  "Anything that moves dies," said another.  This is the second mass fatality of children caused by Saudi-led airstrikes using US-supplied bombs:  Earlier this month, a Saudi-led airstrike hit a school bus carrying scores of boys in Yemen, killing 51 people including 40 children.

Australia's 30th Prime Minister Scott Morrison has been sworn in and is promising a new generation of Liberal leadership who is "on your side".  He also thanked his predecessor Malcolm Turnbull whom he described as a great Australian who has contributed a great deal to the country in his three years in the gig.  Scott also lavished praise on "rock star" Julie Bishop, arguably the most popular Liberal of the bunch: "She has been an amazing contributor and driver of foreign policy and an advocate for Liberal values from one end of this country to another and one end of this world to the other," he said, assuring that he would be holding discussions with her to discuss what role she wanted to play in the Government.

The man who oversees Donald Trump and the Trump organization's finances apparently told federal prosecutors something good enough that they rewarded him with immunity from prosecution.  Allen Weisselberg has served as executive vice president and chief financial officer at the Trump Organization, and was once described by a person close to the company as "the most senior person in the organization that's not a Trump".  Referred to as "Executive 1" in the Manhattan federal court documents, this only adds to the legal woes of the president.  Yesterday, it was revealed that Trump's long-time friend and tabloid newspaper publisher David Pecker had cut an immunity deal with federal prosecutors as well.

John McCain's family says he is discontinuing treatment for brain cancer.  The 81-year old Arizona Senator and former Republican party presidential candidate has largely retreated from public life since being diagnosed with an aggressive glioblastoma more than a year ago.  "John has surpassed expectations for his survival," read the statement from the family, "But the progress of disease and the inexorable advance of age render their verdict.  With his usual strength of will, he has now chosen to discontinue medical treatment."  A harsh critic of Donald Trump, just last month he said "Trump's naivete, egotism, false equivalence, and sympathy for autocrats" has inflicted "damage" on the US and its alliances.

Trump's congressional ally Congressman Duncan Hunter - and there's really no other way to say this - totally threw his wife under the bus after being charged with massive campaign fraud.  "When I went away to Iraq in 2003, the first time, I gave her power of attorney.  She handled my finances throughout my entire military career and that continued on when I got into Congress," the ex-Marine Hunter told Fox News.  "She was also the campaign manager, so whatever she did, that'll be looked at, too, I'm sure, but I didn't do it," he added.  Good lord.  Prosecutors say Hunter and his wife illegally spent US$250,000 on personal expenses such as vacations, clothing, and restaurant visits while running their own personal finances into the ground. 

Spain will finally dig up and remove the remains of 20th century dictator Francisco Franco from a national mausoleum honoring its civil war dead.  After decades of going back and forth between Left-leaning governments who want to remove the stain of dictatorship and right-wing governments who want to protect the memorial, deputy prime minister Carmen Calvo said the government is fast-tracking the exhumation because it wants to "end a state of affairs which cannot go on any longer."  Franco's party lost the 1936 election, so he and other monarchists staged a coup which also failed; from there, they started the Spanish Civil War with the help of Hitler and Mussolini, killing 400,000 people.  Another 500,000 "enemies" of Franco would be executed or killed through forced labor or other means over the following decades until his death in 1976.  So even four decades after his death, the guy is an open sore on the Spanish conscience.

The battle on a massive forest fire outside Berlin is complicated by old, unexploded ordnance left there by the Soviet military back in the Cold War.  Witnesses have heard several explosions coming from the woods in Brandenburg state south of the capital, although there apparently aren't any injuries related to the blasts.  Hundreds of villagers have been relocated to safety while firefighters do their jobs.

Zimbabwe's top court Friday upheld the narrow and election victory of President Emmerson Mnangagwa, clearing the way for his inauguration.  The opposition is now buying this at all, and is promising "a "vigorous program of action in response to this electoral theft of the century" in the coming days.

Brazil health officials say more than four million children need to be vaccinated against measles.  The country is fighting an outbreak of more than 1,500 confirmed cases that crossed the northern border along with tens of thousands refugees from Venezuela, which is having economic and stability problems.  The problem is that the provinces bordering Venezuela have Brazil's lowest vaccination rates.

Japan's first female fighter jet pilot just flew through the glass ceiling.  In a country known for gender inequity, 26-year old First Lieutenant Misa Matsushima's achievement is more than a little groundbreaking.  "Ever since I saw the movie Top Gun when I was in primary school, I have always admired fighter jet pilots," the graduate of Japan's National Defence Academy told journalists.  "I wish to continue to work hard to fulfil my duty - not just for myself but also for women who will follow this path in the future."  Japan's Air Self Defense Force started recruiting women in 1993, and approved women for flying in 2015.  Lt. Matsushima is checked out to pilot F-15J fighter jets, which can reach top speeds of about Mach 2.5.

A big ol' bear wandered into the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado - where the 1970s horror film "The Shining" was filmed - while about 300 guests slept unaware of the bear.  He eventually left without causing a scene, or doing what he normally would have done in the woods.
