Argentina has sacked its Navy chief over the disappearance of a submarine with 44 crew members on board.  The Navy announced that Marcelo Srur had retired, as relatives of the missing crew demonstrated in Buenos Aires urging authorities to continue the search until the ARA San Juan is found.  The captain reported an electrical problem in the last communication from the vessel before it went missing, and since then, authorities suspected it suffering an implosion.

The fringes might play a big role in Sunday's presidential election runoff in Chile.  A far right party that won eight percent in the general election is throwing its support behind Sebastian Pinera, a conservative former president.  Pinera was expected to win the first round, but to the surprise of the conservative media, didn't.  Meanwhile, the Left is coalescing around Sen. Alejandro Guillier who promises to continue the successful reforms of incumbent President Michelle Bachelet.  Pinera's first term in office during 2010-2014 saw economic growth of 5.6 percent, but it was incredibly unequal and only the wealthy saw the benefits, which Bachelet had been rectifying since then. 

The new government of Austria is pledging to tighten the country's asylum and immigration regulations while maintaining a firm commitment to the European Union.  The 31-year old leader of the conservative People's Party Sebastian Kurz will become Chancellor, and Europe's youngest leader.  He will not try to pull his country out of the European Union, despite forming his government with the far right and ironically-named Freedom Party, which will have members leading key ministries and whose leader will be Vice Chancellor.  "Only in a strong Europe can there also be a strong Austria, in which we are able to take advantage of the opportunities of the 21st century," reads the statement from the incoming government.

Much less successful far right leaders in Europe got together in Prague to say they agree that nations should not get together and agree.. on.. things.  Do these people have any idea how freaking stupid.. never mind.  RWNJs from France, the Netherlands, Italy, Austria, Britain, and other countries at the conference claimed the European Union is ruining Europe by being decent human beings about immigration, while praising Donald Trump.  No, really.

Donald Trump's poll numbers in the US are in the toilet.  The latest Associated Press poll shows he is the least-popular first-year president ever, with his approval rating sitting at 32 percent, while 67 percent disapprove.  Only three-in-ten Americans polled said the US is headed in the right direction, while 52 percent said the country is worse off since the orange clown infested the Oval Office in January.  Four-in-ten Americans think Trump has has done something illegal when it comes to Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

A legless Palestinian man was shot in the head and killed by an Israel Defense Force sniper during protests against Donald Trump's declaration recognizing Jerusalem as capital of Israel.  29-year old Ibrahim Abu Thurayyah was waving a Palestinian flag in Gaza on Friday when he was shot.  He lost his legs in 2008 during an Israeli bombing raid.  Thousands turned out for his funeral on Saturday, as well as for three other acitivists killed.

The sunset of mid-20th Century dreams:  South Africa's ruling African National Congress party is trying to pick a new leader, although outgoing President jacob Zuma admits it has seen better days.  India's Congress Party is no longer in power, but has picked another member of the Gandhi dynasty to run its show.  That's four generations of the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty, for those keeping score.

Nigerian forces captured 400 people in a raid against a Boko Haram stronghold on tiny islands in Lake Chad.  Many of those in custody are families of the Islamist fighters, including women and children.  The operation to clear the islands took two weeks.  Boko Haram has killed 20,000 people in its eight years attempting to establish a radical Islamic caliphate in the northeastern part of Nigeria.  Its days as a fighting and occupying force are largely over, and its principal method of striking out has been reduced to suicide bombings, usually carried out by drugged or otherwise coerced children.
