Hello Australia!! - McCain's Funeral was laced with barely veiled barbs aimed at Trump - Brazil's election court blocks Lula - A Russian passenger plane burns after landing - And more in your CareerSpot Global News Briefs:

US Senator John McCain's funeral at Washington's National cathedral contained the sort of pomp and adulation that most presidents and national heroes wouldn't even get.  McCain died a week ago of brain cancer at the age of 81.  Former President Barack Obama paid tribute to the man he defeated in the 2008 US presidential election as an "extraordinary man - a warrior, a statesman, a patriot"; he also revealed that they had regular discussions at the White House, long after the evening news was over and the reporters went out for dinner.

Despite coming from different traditions they talked and listened to each other, which Mr. Obama not-so-subtly was hinted was a grace missing in today's Washington, whether it be in Congress or the White House.  Former President George W. Bush also spoke.

McCain's daughter Megan McCain used her Eulogy to compare and contrast her father's ordeal as a Vietnam War POW with the current ridiculousness and drama going on in the White House:  "We gather here to mourn the passing of American greatness," she said, "The real thing, not cheap rhetoric from men who will never come near the sacrifice he gave so willingly, nor the opportunistic appropriation of those who live lives of comfort and privilege while he suffered and served."

Ms. McCain then took aim at xenophobic, anti-immigration policies:  "The America of John McCain is generous and welcoming and bold, she is resourceful and confident and secure, she meets her responsibilities, she speaks quietly because she is strong," and, "The America of John McCain has no need to be made great again, because America was always great."  The people who most embody that which Megan McCain tore down - Donald Trump and McCain's 2008 running mate Sarah Palin - were pointedly not invited to the funeral.

Perhaps not unexpectedly, Brazil's top electoral court says former president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva cannot run in October's presidential election because of his corruption conviction.  Lula and his allies dispute that conviction as politically-motivated, and polls consistently show him at the top of field of candidates.  Brazil's Workers' Party (PT) said it would "fight by all means" for Lula's candidacy:  "We will present all appeals before the courts for the recognition of the rights of Lula provided by law and international treaties ratified by Brazil," and, "We will defend Lula in the streets, with the people."

Thousands of far-right and nazi protesters returned to the streets of Chemnitz in eastern Germany, again chanting and displaying illegal nazi slogans and gestures, while about 3,500 counter protesters faced them down.  Police called an end to the demonstration early, but several from both sides lingered in the city's center for hours after.  This rally was a lot more peaceful, because it was a lot more middle-aged and older - fewer street fighters were on hand.  Last week, similar demonstrations saw nazis break off from the main group to hunt down and batter immigrants.

The far-right is upset over immigration, although only around one percent of people in the area arrived during the 2015 immigration crisis; Saxony officials said stories that although a Cuban-German man was killed in a brawl with a Middle Eeastern imigrant last week, claims that he was defending a German woman from a foreign rapist were "fake news".

A Russian passenger jet skidded off the runway and caught fire while landing at Sochi, killing one and injuring 18 people.  Some passengers suffered burns, others carbon monoxide poisoning.  The Boeing 737-800 operated by the Utair airline was trying to land in rain and strong wind while carrying 170 passengers and crew.

The Saudi-led coalition in Yemen is admitting "mistakes" in the deadly air strike that killed more than 40 young children last month.  The attack on the bus, which supposedly targeted a Houthi rebel commander, drew international condemnation.
