Morgues overflowed with bodies after the roof caved in on a church in southeastern Nigeria; the government sought to play down the death toll, putting it at 27 lives lost.  But witnesses say more than 100 people died, perhaps more than 200.  At Uyo Teaching Hospital, witnesses saw "over a hundred corpses, many are heaped on top off each other on the floor"; others watched as many as four bodies at a time stuffed into individual body bags.  All this happened on Saturday night, as a bishop was consecrated at the Reigners Bible church in Uyo town, the state capital of Akwa Ibom.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the deadly bombing inside a Coptic Christian church in Cairo.  At least 25 people were killed inside Saint Mark's Cathedral, which is the seat of Egypt's Orthodox Christian church and home to the office of its spiritual leader, Pope Tawadros II.  Witnesses give conflicting accounts of the bomb having been planted in a side chapel, or being thrown in during Sunday services.

Turkey declared a day of national mourning after 38 people were killed by a bombing outside the Besiktas football stadium in Istanbul.  Kurdish separatists claimed responsibility for the blast, which was targeted at Turkish police.  "They should know that they will not get away with it," railed Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan from Ankara, "They will pay a heavier price."  A ceasefire between Kurdish separatists and Erdogan's Turkey broke down in July of last year.

Some leading bipartisan US lawmakers are alarmed over Russia's interference in the US presidential election.  Republican Senators John McCain and Lyndsey Graham joined Democrats Chuck Schumer and Jack Reed on a statement demanding the hacking be investigated, and calling for measures to be put in place so that it doesn't happen again.  The CIA over the weekend confirmed that intel community knew of Russia's actions after US President Barack Obama called for a "deep dive" into what actually happened.  Meanwhile, pretender-elect Donald Trump said a bunch of stupid crap on Sunday:  He denied the Russian hacking reports, mouthed off on something along the lines of "no one knows if climate change is real", claimed he didn't need intelligence briefings because he's "too smart", and hinted that the US' "One China" policy cold be coming to an end - which would provoke the hell out of Beijing.

London will be only 17 hours away from Australia, when Qantas launches direct, non-stop flights between London and Perth.  Qantas chief executive Alan Joyce says the airline's new Boeing 787 Dreamliners are made for the quick long-haul.  The catch is, it won't happened until March of 2018.  That's 15 months from now - or measured differently, it is one Fast and Furious movie, 20 Superhero movies, one American impeachment, and a few coups d'etat away.

Exit polls indicate that Romania's left-leaning Social Democratic Party will win Romania's election, a year after the party was routed over protests from the Bucharest nightclub fire that killed 64 people just over a year ago.  Unfortunately, the party's leader is currently serving a suspended sentence for electoral corruption, barring him from being Prime Minister.

Italian Foreign Minister Paolo Gentiloni has been appointed Prime Minister and charged with forming a government.  Opposition parties are lining up to demand elections be moved up from May 2018 to now.

A published report claims that Brazil's President Michel Temer took big money from a company deeply intertwined in the scandal involving the state-owned oil company Petrobras.  Veja magazine says the country's largest construction company Odebrecht - which has already been found guilty of bribing politicians for lucrative government contracts - paid more than US$3 Million to Temer, who has denied the allegations.
