Fighting for the northern Syrian city of Aleppo has left it a city without water, impacting two million people.  Incessant aerial attacks by government forces supported by Russia are preventing repairs to the pumping station supplying the rebel side; revenge attacks have damaged the pumps supplying the rest.  "Aleppo is slowly dying, and the world is watching, and the water is being cut off and bombed - it's just the latest act of inhumanity," said UNICEF deputy director Justin Forsyth.  More than 115 people have been killed in the most recent bombardments.

Hungary's right-wing Prime Minister wants the European Union to build refugee camps in strife-torn Libya to process would-be migrants before they cross the Mediterranean Sea for Europe.  Viktor Orban threw this out at of European leaders in Vienna, along with suggesting that Europe arm the Libyan government against rebels and Islamic State (so, somehow fractured Libya is supposed to house and guard refugees from the whole continent and the Middle East and fight a civil war.  right....).  More than 300,000 migrants have crossed the Mediterranean this year, with 3,500 deaths recorded so far - Orban closed his borders to them.

UK Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn easily fought off a leadership challenge from the party's center (much to the chagrin of the tories at the BBC, lulz).  Unpopular among the parliamentary Labour party (PLP) who are convinced he cannot lead them to victory in a national election, he got more than 61 percent of the vote from Labour's rank and file membership.  Corbyn is reserving the right to choose a new Shadow Cabinet in the near future.

Thousands of people marched in Dublin to overturn Ireland's restrictive abortion laws, getting support from allied rallies in 20 other cities around the world; and the Twitter hashtag #RepealThe8th, referring to the Eight Amendment to the Irish Constitution which sets the outdated, fear-based policy.  Taoiseach Enda Kenny will hold a citizens' assembly in October to discuss changing the laws.

Police in Uganda blocked planned LGBT rights rallies at two resorts, rounding up around 100 participants and sending them back to the capital Kampala.  As awful as that was, this actually protected them from mob violence threatened by the "Minister of Ethics and Integrity" which totally isn't taken from a page out of Orwell.  Homosexuality is still outlawed in Uganda, but cement-headed intolerance isn't.

While the US corporate media was focused on Charlotte, North Carolina, and the protests over the police killing of black man, America's other epidemic flared up across the country.  A gunman with a long rifle killed three women at a Macy's department store in  the Cascade Mall in Burlington, about 100 kilometers north of Seattle.  Another woman and man were mortally wounded and died in hospital later.  Police are appealing for help finding the suspect, who appears to be a scrawny teenager dressed in a black T-shirt and black shorts as recorded on surveillance footage. 

A pedophile in Italy has been sentenced to two years in prison - and to purchase 30 Feminist books for the underage prostitute he is convicted of abusing as part of a pedophile ring busted by Rome police.  The judge wants to 15-year old victim to read and reclaim her dignity.  The books include Anne Frank's Diary and the poems of Emily Dickinson - although the author of another one of the books says it ought to be read to the convicted criminal instead.
