Hello, Australia!! - Boko Haram releases dozens of captive Chibok girls - Are American dirty tricksters trying to pollute France's election? - Bernie nails Trump - And more in your CareerSpot Global News Briefs:

Nigeria says dozens of girls who were kidnapped from their boarding school in Chibok town three years ago have been released.  Reports say the Islamist terrorist group Boko Haram released 62 to 82 young women after negotiations with the government.  The militants seized 276 pupils from the Government Girls Secondary School in the town of Chibok on the night of 14 April 2014; 57 managed to escape in the immediate aftermath, others trickled out, and the government negotiated the freedom for 21 more last October.  The shock abduction drew international attention, with luminaries such as then-US First Lady Michelle Obama and education campaigner Malala Yousafzai urging Nigeria to #bringbackourgirls.

Dozens of young students were killed when their bus plunged off of a highway and down a ravine in northern Tanzania in rainy conditions.  Two teachers and the driver were killed; the rest, almost 30, were children aged ten to twelve years.

French presidential candidate Emmanuel Macron is slamming the "massive and coordinated" cyber-attack on his campaign, after hackers began dumping campaign emails onto an online bulletin board best known for racism, conspiracy theories, and misogynist online bullying.  The Macron campaign notes that false information is being mixed in with hacked emails that were pilfered last month, and it's not worried about any revelations as much as it is concerned with "democratic destabilization as was seen in the US" - a reference to fascist demagogue Donald Trump's infestation of the White House.  The final set of polls before voting showed that Macron actually increased his lead to about 63 percent to xenophobe Marine Le Pen's 37 percent.

French election officials are warning, "The publishing of false information falls under the law, particularly criminal law" - and outgoing President Francois Holland said, "We knew that there were these risks during the presidential campaign because it happened elsewhere.  Nothing will go without a response."  In the past, Macron has said he is a target of Russian hackers, and the attack does have some similarities to the boring and information free-hacks of the US Democratic Party last year.  The Kremlin is denying involvement, although Russian President Vladimir Putin is closely associated with far-right candidate Marine Le Pen who would benefit from bad news about Macron.

The document dump began about an hour before the campaign came to its legal end, and the French news media is actually forbidden to report on major campaign issues on the day before Sunday's voting.  That means that large numbers of voters don't even know about the hack, and those who do care are generally the types of people concerned about what is said on an online bulletin board best known for spotty teenage chronic porn freaks, white supremacy, and unshaven anti-Semites holed up in mountain cabins subsisting on survivalist deer jerky.  Might as well ask your neighborhood pickpockets or arsonists what they think. 

Oh, BTW - this bulletin board is a cesspool of American ne'er-do-wells.  Adding to the American character of this episode as that the hashtag #macrongate first appeared on a US "alt right" Twitter account.  The hashtag was instantly repeated dozens of times:  40 percent of the tweets with the hashtag came from only five percent of accounts using it, betraying the existence an obvious bot network, rather than actual grassroots interest.  Despite burning up the Western corporate media, there is no guarantee that French voters will learn about the leaks or even care before balloting begins.  We'll see when Sunday night rolls around to France.

ANYWAY..

Thousands of opposition supporters in Warsaw and other cities took part in a "freedom march" against Poland's right-wing government.  "We are for a democratic Poland, for a European Poland, for a Poland that is proud, that seeks friends and partners, not enemies in Europe as it is today," said opposition Civic Platform (OP) leader Grzegorz Schetyna, accusing the ruling Law and Justice (PiS) of turning its back on democracy, stacking the courts with its own judges, and manipulating the media. 

Former US presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders trolled the hell out of Donald Trump, tweeting the orange clown "is right" to praise Australia's healthcare system compared to the United States.  "The Australian health care system provides health care to all of its people at a fraction of the cost than we do," said Bernie.  Trump made the comment last week while receiving PM Malcolm Turnbull during his quickee New York City visit, hours after congressional Republicans advanced a bill to destroy healthcare for millions of Americans, moving the country away from the more successful Aussie model. 

An 85-year-old man from Nepal died at Mount Everest base camp before attempting to regain his title as the oldest person to climb the world's highest peak.  The cause of Min Bahadur Sherchan's death wasn't immediately clear, although being 85 and trying to climb a mountain that regularly kills younger, healthier climbers might have had something to do with it.  The dubious record is claimed by Japanese climber Yuichiro Miura who scaled Everest in 2013 at age 80.
