Aussie and East Asian markets are taking a nasty tumble, with stock prices plummeting more than eight percent on the Shanghai composite, three to four percent elsewhere.  It's based on fears of a faltering Chinese economy, and some are already calling it "Black Monday".  Australian shares shed A$50 Billion in unregulated capitalism's latest baseless tantrum.  "Today has all the hallmarks of being one of the worst trading days of the past five years," IG market strategist Evan Lucas told The Australian. 

Islamic State militants destroyed the ancient Temple of Baalshamin in Palmyra, Syria, a 2,000 year old building erected in Roman times to a pre-Islamic Phoenician rain god.  It was considered very important by archeologists because of it was in good shape for an ancient ruin.  Locals said the terrorists actually laced the place up with explosive a month ago, but Syria's head of antiquities was quoted as saying the temple was blown up on Sunday.  IS started destroying the artifacts by sledgehammer last month, and last week murdered the 82-year old archaeologist who had looked after Palmyra's ruins for four decades.

South Korean President Park Geun-hye is demanding that Pyongyang apologize for the landmines that injured two of her soldiers, and she says propaganda blasts from a disputed speaker array on the border will continue until she gets one.  The two Koreas traded artillery fire over those speakers last week, and held talks aimed at cooling tensions.  But Seoul accuses the North of deploying its submarines around the peninsula, raising tensions even higher and leading to accusations of using a "peace and war" strategy.

Sydney has been blessed with a new (alleged) Mel Gibson eruption.  The occasionally volatile actor and director says News Corp photographer Kristi Miller harrassed him and his 25-year old American girlfriend Rosalind Ross outside the Verona Cinema in Paddington.  Miller says Mel lost it when she took a photo, pushing her and screaming so hard he was spitting in her face.  Mel's L.A.-based spokesman denied there are "any physical contact whatsoever" and accuses Miller of making up a "complete fabrication", but police are investigating.

Police in the UK raised the death toll from the airshow crash in the south of England to eleven lives lost. This is after they found four more bodies on the highway where a vintage fighter jet had impacted after failing to pull out of a loop.  A crane will lift the Hunter Hawker jet off of the A27 in Shoreham, near Brighton.  The pilot, identified as former RAF pilot Andy Hill, remains in a critical condition in hospital.

Guatemalan President Otto Perez Molina is refusing to stand down despite angry crowds gathering outside the presidential palace.  In a televised address to the nation, Perez Molina denied allegations he took money in a customs bribery scheme, and said that his conscience was clear.  Over the weekend, the agriculture and health minsters became the seventh and eighth members of his government to resign, and a former vicepresident has already been arrested.

Firefighters battled a huge and nasty blaze that broke out at the Nippon Steel factory on the Kawasaki city waterfront near Tokyo's Haneda Airport.  The flames spread to a neighboring cosmetics factory.  This comes just hours after an explosion and fire destroyed a warehouse on the US Army Depot at Sagamihara, a few kilometers southwest of there.
