Hello Australia! - One Million People on the run from a Tsunami - The UN slams Hungary for tear gassing refugees - Japan's return to militarism seems imminent despite public opposition - And more in your CareerSpot World News Briefs:

The magnitude 8.3 earthquake that hit off the coast of Chile caused tsunami waves of three to four and a half meters at the coastal city of Coquimbo, which started crashing ashore 90 minutes after the temblor.  Towns up and down the coast, such as Concon, were warned to expect flooding, and there were mass evacuations of one million people to higher ground.  California, Hawaii, Fiji, and New Zealand are expecting tsunami waves, although not anywhere near the size of what hit the Chilean coast.  Witnesses say the shaking lasted around three minutes, a fearful thing even in a country that's used to earthquakes.  At least five people have been killed.

UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon singled Hungary out for its abominable treatment of refugees.  Hungarian border cops sprayed water cannons and tear gas into Serbia as hoards of Middle Eastern war refugees pushed too close to the newly constructed border fence.  Mr. Ban said he was "shocked" and such treatment is "unacceptable".  Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic accused Hungary of being "brutal and "non-European".

Guatemala's presidential runoff election will pit centrist outsider Jimmy Morales, a television comedian, against center-left former first lady Sandra Torres.  She had been in a very tight race for second place against right-wing businessman Manuel Baldizon, who pulled out before all the votes from the 6 September election were counted and whinged about alleged vote rigging.  The second round takes place next month.  The winner will replace the most recently-elected president and vice president, both of whom were forced from office in a corruption investigation.

Japan is close to approving legislation to expand the role of the military, ending 70 years of pacifism since the end of World War II.  This is despite a scuffle in The Diet earlier today that had usually sedate lawmakers pushing and shoving each other, delaying tactics by the opposition, and days of protests by thousands of Japanese around the Diet building.  There is widespread public opposition to conservative nationalist Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's security bills, and his approval ratings have plunged.  Japanese legal experts believe Abe's goals to be unconstitutional.

Whale watchers in beautiful Monterey Bay, California got a very close look at a Humpback.  Maybe a little too close.  The big fellow breached, and landed on their kayak.  They were very, very lucky, and were uninjured.  Not to be outdone, a seal off the coast of NSW decided to show the whale who's in charge of this ocean.
