Good Morning Australia!! - Trump is getting hammered after slandering the mother of a fallen war hero - Hillary Clinton accuses Russia of hacking her political campaign - A woman pol bursts through Tokyo's "iron plate" ceiling - Muslims step up for France - And more in your CareerSpot Global News Briefs:

The parents of a US Army captain killed in combat are hitting back at Donald Trump, after the US Republican party presidential candidate and fascist demagogue slandered the captain's grieving mother.  Scumbag Trump suggested that Ghazala Khan was forbidden to speak as she stood next to her husband Khizr Khan during his address in last week's Democratic National Convention.  Ms. Khan says the orange clown is ignorant about Islam and repeated her husband's assertion that Trump didn't know the meaning of the word sacrifice.  Captain Humayun Khan died in 2004 in Iraq while hustling his troops to safety from a roadside bomb.

Captain Khan's father Khizr also struck back at Trump, saying that the candidate's cowardly attack on his wife are "typical of a person without a soul."  The Khans have received voluminous support from individuals across the US political spectrum.  But no Republican has publicly rescinded their endorsement, and the Republican Party has yet to repudiate Trump's cruelty to the family of a fallen American Hero. 

Meanwhile, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton alleged that Russian intelligence services hacked into Democratic National Committee computers,  She also questioned Trump's puppy love crush on Russian President Vladimir Putin.  "We know that Russian intelligence services hacked into the DNC and we know that they arranged for a lot of those emails to be released," she said regarding the leak of some memos to Wikileaks.  "And we know that Donald Trump has shown a very troubling willingness to back up Putin, to support Putin," the former First Lady, US Senator, and Secretary of State added.  Wikileaks - which never seems to leak too much about Russia - is not identifying the source of its scoop.

Tokyo has elected its first woman governor:  64-year old former Defense Minister Yuriko Koike is known for noting that Japan doesn't so much have a glass ceiling when it comes to gender equity issues, as it does an "iron plate".  Ms. Koike has a good record of commitment to environmental issues; but she's also a privatizer, Japan's leading expert on the Middle East because her dad owned an oil company, and a long-time war hawk who has ties to ultra-conservative groups bent on white-washing Japan's World War II atrocities out of history books.  So.. same old, same old neo-con crapola.  Good luck with that.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has reversed itself, and now says that a three-person panel will have the final say on which Russian athletes can compete at the Rio Games.  After the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) released a report showing wide-spread state-sponsored doping among Russian Olympians, the IOC chickened out from its responsibilities and said individual athletic bodies should decide which athletes to ban.  So far, only 250 of the original 387 memebrs of Russia's Olympic team have been cleared to compete.

French Muslims attended Sunday mass in Roman Catholic Churches across the country, as a sign of solidarity after last week's murder of an elderly priest in a church in the Normandy region.  "It's an important gesture of fraternity," said Archbishop Dominique Lebrun of Rouen.  "They've told us, and I think they're sincere, that it's not Islam which killed Jacques Hamel," he added. 

Islamist group al Shabaab claimed responsibility for an attack on a police station in Somali that left at least ten people dead.  "At least 10 people including four militants, five civilians, and a soldier died in today's attack," said police officer Hussein Ali.  Militants set off two bombs, which were followed by gunmen attacking the facility in the capital Mogadishu.

India is working to repatriate some 10,000 construction workers who are facing a "food crisis" in Saudi Arabia.  The employers of Saudi Binladen Group and others are laid off because of the worldwide slump in oil prices which has forced the government to cut back on projects.  "Large number of Indians have lost their jobs in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait," accused Indian Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj in a tweet which added, "The employers have not paid wages, closed down their factories."  The Saudi says it says it investigates any complaints of companies refusing to pay workers, and often compels them to do so.

Check out this bear caught on video swimming in someone else's pool in Arcadia, California, a suburb of Los Angeles.  It probably wandered out of the Angeles National Forest, but it's very very to have a bear sighting this close to the dense urban sprawl of LA.
