Good Morning Australia!! - Protests against Putin's pension plan persist - Sweden's election result is murky - Tragedy in Western Australia - And more in your CareerSpot Global News Briefs:

A woman and children were among the five people found dead in a home outside Perth, according to WA Police Assistant Commissioner Paul Steel.  "This is a tragic event and it will no doubt have an impact not only on the family and friends of the deceased but for the whole of the community and those first responders who are faced with attending a scene of multiple deceased people," he said.  A man in his 20s presented himself to police on Sunday, prompting detectives to go to the home Coode Street in Bedford where the bodies were discovered.

The big news from North Korea was what was missing from a big military parade celebrating 70 years since the founding of the reclusive regime - no ICBMs or nuclear weapons were in the mix.  Western analysts scrutinize these parades for clues about the Kim regime's intentions and its commitment to the denuclearization in the vague agreement signed by Kim Jong-un and Donald Trump earlier this year.  The two countries have maintained high level contacts on the matter, but an attempt by US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to go to Pyongyang was called off last minute by Trump.

Sweden's far-right SD party are expected to get around 20 percent as results of Sunday's election are counted.  Neither the SD nor the center-right governing coalition are expected to come out with a majority in parliament.  The Social Democrats are the largest party and even improved over the 2014 election - but not by as much as expected.  The Greens held onto four percent, allowing them to stay in Parliament.  But the far-right SD is on track to be the second largest party after campaigning on an expressly anti-immigrant platform.  Pundits expect it will be difficult for the center-right or center-Left blocs to form a government.

Germany is on edge after two Afghans were arrested in the death of a German man in street violence.  The circumstances of the incident in Kothen, near Chemnitz, are not clear - but an earlier deadly street fight involving Middle Eastern immigrants in Chemnitz resulted in weeks of far-right protests and even rioting in which far-right mobs were caught on video attacking innocent immigrants.  Despite national condemnation and a rock concert that drew thousands and thousands more anti-racists, the far-right has continued protests in Chemnitz and this weekend, a Jewish restaurant was attacked.

There are serious concerns that Afghanistan's US-backed government wields even less power and authority than people first thought.  Thousands of young men with guns and swords flooded the capital Kabul to mark the death of an anti-Taliban commander 17 years ago - before many of the youngest marchers were even born.  This raged on for eight hours as businesses shut their doors and security forces were rarely seen.  There was at least one suicide bombing and one thwarted suicide attack, and capital residents are aghast at how the government could have been caught so flat-footed.

Houthi rebels took a pasting in a battle with government troops at the port of Hodeida in Yemen.  80 people were reportedly killed, 70 of them Houthi fighters.

At least 19 people were killed in a plane crash in South Sudan's Lake Yirol.  A Red Cross official and an Anglican Bishop were reportedly among the dead.

A dissident FARC leader has been killed in Colombia, and President Ivan Duque says it came in a clash with troops.  Victor David Segura, known as "David", led a faction of the Marxist rebels that refused to lay down its arms in the 2016 peace deal, and has been linked to drug trafficking.

Russian riot cops used tear gas to break up protests against President Vladimir Putin's plans to raise the men's retirement age by five years.  The human rights group OVD-Info says police detained 839 people in 19 cities - the largest number was in Saint Petersburg, where police arrested 354 people.  Opposition leader Alexey Navalny was already serving a two week jail term, but made his presence known:  "For 18 years, Putin and his government have stolen from the budget and squandered it on meaningless projects.  Now the money's run out and we have to steal from pensioners to make ends meet," Navalny's social media team posted as they encouraged Russians to take to the streets.  Young people said they took part in demonstrations in solidarity with their parents and grandparents.  The main problem with Putin's plan is that it raises the men's pension age to 65, when the average male life expectancy in Russia is 66 - many will simply work until they die.
