The journalist who broke the story about Edward Snowden is promising new revelations about Australia’s “aggressive” intelligence gathering.  “Australia is probably the country that has got away with things the most in terms of the Snowden revelations,” said Glenn Greenwald on the ABC’s Lateline program, “There are interesting and important documents about what Australians are doing to the privacy rights of their own citizens and there will be more reporting on that.”  Greenwald accuses Australia of aiding the US to try to “convert the internet into a realm of limitless surveillance”.

FIFA’s former vice president Jack Warner says he will reveal all he knows about corruption in the world football organization.  He is one of 14 current and past FIFA officials to be charged by US prosecutors in a racketeering, wire fraud, money laundering, and bribery probe.  Warner stepped down from FIFA in 2011 amid bribery allegations.

At least 96 people were horribly killed in a massive fuel explosion in Accra, Ghana, and several are injured.  The fire started in a truck depot next to a petrol station where people were sheltering under the awning because of two days of heavy rain.  Burning Gasoline and Diesel ran on floodwater into the station, causing the blast.  Ghana is a poor African nation with lousy infrastructure – when it rains the roads quickly become swampy messes, and people in and out of cars are forced to pick a spot to shelter until it is safe to move.

Rescuers in Hubei Province, China have begun pulling bodies up from that passenger ship that capsized in bad weather on the Yangtze River.  Only 14 are known to have survived out of 356 people on board, and the missing hundreds are believed to be dead.  Although the Chinese media is covering the horrific event, details on what is being done to rescue or recover people are hard to come by.  The government insists there is no cover-up.

Thousands poured into Hong Kong’s Victoria Park last night to commemorate 26 years since the Tiananmen Square massacre, when the Chinese government ordered People’s Liberation Army troops to ruthlessly crush a pro-democracy protest in Beijing in 1989. 

Mourners paid their respects to Beau Biden, son of the current US Vice President Joe Biden, who died of brain cancer last weekend.  The family funeral in the capital of the eastern state of Delaware drew some of the country’s most influential leaders.  President Barack Obama will deliver the eulogy at the public mass on Saturday.  46-year old Beau Biden is remembered as a model father, and a successful prosecutor who chose to forego a guaranteed political career in order to join the military and serve in Iraq.

Ukraine President Petro Poroshenko is warning of a “colossal threat” from Russia amid new fighting in the east.  Wednesday marked the worst clashes between government troops and Russian-backed rebels since the cease-fire agreement was signed in February.  The UN Security Council will hold an emergency meeting on Friday to discuss Russia’s renewed aggressive behavior.

An Egyptian court is ordering deposed ruler Hosni Mubarak to face yet another trial for the killings of protesters during the 2011 uprising that ended his 30-year reign.  He was originally sentenced to life in prison for the deaths of 237 – but an appeals court ordered that overturned, and the lower court dropped the charges.  Assuming the 87-year old Mubarak lives that long, the next retrial is scheduled to begin in November.

Google is apologizing to Indian Prime minister Narendra Modi, because his picture pops up frequently in an image search for “top ten criminals”.  Notorious gangsters, murderers, dictators, and of course Justin Bieber also come up in the search results.  Google says it was caused by an unnamed British news site that included Modi’s photograph on a page with erroneous meta data – the information unseen by your browser in which web page designers describe photos and other content.
