Good Morning Australia! - Turkey is accused of downplaying the death toll in bombing attack - A pregnant Palestinian woman is one of the latest casualties in spiraling violence - An astounding attempt to whitewash a flagrant murder that anyone in the world can verify with their own eyes - And more in your CareerSpot Global News Briefs:

Thousands of mourners packed Ankara's main square to remember the scores of people killed by twin explosions at an opposition political rally in the Turkish capital on Saturday.  But police provoked scuffles by refusing to allow mourners to place flowers for the victims.  And the government and activists can't agree on how many people were killed:  The government claims 95 people died, but the pro-Kurdish HDP party says the true death toll is 128 lives lost, and that the government for whatever reason - is downplaying it.  Security sources blame Islamic State, which has not claimed responsibility, while the HDP points to the government.  These explosions come before elections in November.  Another blast at an HDP rally in June preceded elections in which the party won enough votes to enter parliament for the first time.

It appears that Islamic State (IS) leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi probably survived an air strike in western Iraq.  Government war planes bombed a meeting site and convoy, and some sources on the ground believe that some IS leaders were killed.  Al-Baghdadi has appeared in public only once in 2014.  He was reportedly wounded in any of several attacks, but there has been no confirmation on the status of the man with a US$10 Million bounty on his head.

A pregnant Palestinian woman and her daughter have been killed in an Israeli air strike in Gaza.  Israel claims to have been targeting a Hamas explosives cache.  West Bank medical officials say a boy of 13 was shot dead by Israeli forces in clashes near a Jewish settlement.   This follows a series of attacks across Israel in which knife-wielding Palestinians stabbed Israelis, often with deadly results.  Both sides blames each other for the escalation, US Secretary of State John Kerry is urging calm.

Japan's news media is reporting that a Japanese woman is in custody in China on spying charges, the fourth Japanese citizen to be held by Chinese authorities for this reason.  The woman - described as in her mid-50s and employed as a language teacher in Tokyo - was detained in June while on a visit to Shanghai.  China's government hasn't commented on the report.

Ebola has been ruled out as the cause of death of a man in southeastern Nigeria.  The man showed symptoms of the killer viral disease and several people who had contact with him were put under quarantine, but the UN World Health Organization says tests proved negative.

In gun crazy America, California Governor Jerry Brown signed legislation to ban concealed guns on college campuses.  It comes about a week after a gunman killed ten people at a community college in neighboring Oregon, and days after two more people died in campus shootings in Arizona and Texas.  Gun idiots maintain that"the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun" - but Oregon already allowed concealed carry on campuses, and there were people with guns at Umpqua Community College at the time of the murders.  They didn't change the gruesome outcome.

The family of Tamir Rice is disputing two prosecution experts who claim that police were justified in shooting and killing the 12-year old African American boy as he sat at a picnic table in a park in Cleveland, Ohio.  Video of the murder clearly shows white cops showing up and firing their weapons within two seconds - before their car had even come to a complete stop.  One of the officers involved in the murder had been sacked from another department for being mentally unfit to be a police officer.  "To get so-called experts to assist in the whitewash - when the world has the video of what happened - is all the more alarming," said lawyer for the Rice family, Subodh Chandra.  "Who will speak for Tamir before the grand jury?  Not the prosecutor, apparently."
