Good Morning, Australia! – Hillary’s in – A shark kills a teen surfer – A rare leadership and family spat at one of the world’s biggest companies – You will not believe how much money Furious 7 has made in a week and a half after its release – And a lot more in your CareerSpot World News Briefs:

Hillary Clinton formally entered the US Presidential Race with a video released on social media on Sunday.  The video doesn’t mention the former First Lady’s husband nor her former boss in the White House, making it clear she’s running on her own credentials as a former US Senator and Secretary of State; and it attacks the “coronation” meme cynically mentioned by so many political commentators with Hillary telling voters she’ll work for their vote, “Because it’s you’re time.” 

Turkey has recalled its ambassador to the Vatican after Pope Francis used the word “genocide” to describe the Turkey’s mass killing of Armenians 100 years ago.  The Pontiff is actually is following the lead of his predecessor Pope John Paul II who long ago called the murder of 1.5 million Armenians as the “first genocide of the 20th Century”.  Turkey disputes the number of dead, and claims the Armenians were killed in the process of Turkey’s civil war.  Pope Francis also referred to the crimes “perpetrated by Nazism and Stalinism” and to genocides in Cambodia, Rwanda, Burundi, and Bosnia.

A 13-year old champion surfer is dead in a shark attack off Reunion Island, a French Territory in the Indian Ocean.  The boy identified as Elio Canestri was in an off-limits area on the west coast when the shark attacked, tearing off of the right side of his body.  Authorities immediately went after the beast and brought back a dead Tiger Shark, but medical examiners say it couldn’t have been the same shark.  This was the 16th shark attack off the island since 2011 and the seventh death – but the thing that hurt tourism is the restrictions put on beach access to protect tourism from getting killed.  Elio won the Billabong Pipeline Masters in 2010.

Estonian President Toomas Ilves is asking NATO to establish a permanent force in his Baltic Sea nation.  Russia has increased military exercises and flyovers over the tiny Baltic States, and it’s being interpreted as a threat by the countries that used to be under the influence of the former Soviet Union.  Estonia and its neighbors Latvia and Lithuania joined NATO in 2004 – the Alliance’s charter states that if one member is attacked, they all go to war against the attacker.  However, a 1997 agreement with Russia bans the presence of a permanent base in Eastern Europe.

Bomb attacks in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula killed at least 13 people, according to security forces.  Seven soldiers were killed in an attack on an armored vehicle near the town of Sheikh Zuweid; And six people died and 30 were injured in a blast outside a police station in El-Arish.  Militants from a local group that has sworn allegiance to Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attacks.

Whoa, what’s going on at Volkswagen?  Chairman Ferdinand Piech told the news magazine Der Spiegel that he has “distanced” himself from the man many considered to be his likely successor, Chief Executive Martin Winterkorn.  Piech controls 51 percent of VW shares along with his cousins in the Porsche family – but Wolfgang Porsche said cousin Ferd had ‘not’ cleared his remarks with the rest of the clan.  Winterkorn has since gotten the public backed of Lower Saxony state, which owns some stock, and the company’s employee council.  Volkswagen was second only to Toyota in worldwide sales in 2014.
