One man is dead and scores are hurt in a massive fight in the detention camp on Manus Island – Japan divers are found alive after being lost in stormy seas  – And we’ve found a hotel restaurant that totally is not going to get a good Michelin rating – All that and more in your CareerSpot World News Briefs.

Immigration Minister Scott Morrison says it’s “a great tragedy” that one person was killed in rioting at Australia’s immigrant detention center on Manus Island, PNG.  People allegedly attacked Papua New Guinea police with machetes, knives, and other weapons (which according to the video appears to be plastic deck chairs), and at least 77 people were hurt in the melee.  Critics say the Tony Abbott government’s policy has taken people who fled violence and torture in the homes they were forced to flee and placed them in a dangerous and lawless situation on Manus Island.

Five Japanese divers have been found alive, clinging to a coral reef some 20 kilometers away from the Indonesian waters from where they were reported missing in rough weather three days ago.  The seven women were experienced divers, which no doubt contributed to their amazing survival.  They were in weak condition, one is in critical condition, and two are still missing.

Human rights advocates are condemning South Korea for convicting a progressive opposition lawmaker of treason.  Lee Seok Ki last November was the first South Korean lawmaker to be arrested on these most serious of charges.  The government claimed Lee held a meeting to plan the violent overthrow of the government, singing North Korean songs, and referring to Northern despots Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il in honorific language, which is illegal.  The South Korean branch of Amnesty International issued a statement calling the ruling “a violation of the rights to freedom of thought and expression in South Korean society.”

A Florida artist faces criminal charges for destroying a vase painted by dissident Chinese artist Ai Wei Wei that art collectors value at US$1 Million.  51-year-old Maximo Caminero was protesting the Perez Art Museum for not featuring local artists, assumable him.  No one seems to be investigating the consumer issue of how a simple clay vase that looks like someone spilled flat latex paint leftover from a children’s bedroom decorating project is somehow worth US$1 Million to the kind of person who has US$1 Million burning a hole in his pocket.  But hey, art is subjective.

A student at the elite University of Chicago lie dead in his dorm room for almost a week before anyone noticed, and only then because his neighbors complained about the smell.  An autopsy failed to determine the cause of death of 20-year old Nicholas Barnes, a toxicology report has been ordered.  There is much hand-wringing at the U of C over how his dorm-mates, dorm-advisors, faculty-advisors, and teachers did not notice he was missing. 

Eleven people have reportedly been arrested at a hotel restaurant in Onitsha, Nigeria after human heads were found in the freezer, and it is suspected the restaurant served human meat.  Local media says that cops also seized assault weapons, ammunition, and cell phones.  Which pale in comparison to the whole “serving up people meat” thing. 

Well, that was horribly depressing.  How about “Doggies on the Copacabana”?  In costumes!

Police in Poland arrested a Roman Catholic priest on charges of sexually abusing seven boys in the Dominican Republic.  Wojciech Gil, known as Padre Alberto on the Caribbean island from which he absconded a few months ago, is now claiming the charges are a frame-up by drug traffickers in the region – which, according to journalists, is a surprise to Dominican authorities.  They say investigators in Juncalito have first-person accounts from the victims and cops found child pornography on the priest's computer.

Russia says it will provide Ukraine with the next tranche of aid promised to the government of President Viktor Yanukovich.  US$2 Billion is on the way “this week”, according to Finance Minister Anton Siluanov.  That would raise Russia’s stake in Ukraine’s embattled economy to $5 Billion out of $15 Billion promised.  The aid from Moscow is part of the deal that Yanukovich opted for late last year, instead of bigger deal with the EU and IMF – a decision that send thousands into the streets for protests that continue today.
