Good Morning, Australia! – President Obama says the world backs the nuclear deal with Iran, even if his critics don’t – Greece's Parliament has a hard time swallowing the EU’s austerity demands – Tragedy for Nick Cave – And much, much more in your CareerSpot World News Briefs:

It was petrol bombs and rocks versus tear gas and flash grenades outside Greece’s parliament, where the midnight deadline has passed without a vote on the terrible, horrible, awful EU bailout.  Anarchist groups and other hardcore opponents of any further EU-imposed austerity battled cops.  Inside, there appears to be no guarantee that the deal struck by Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras will pass – his ruling Syriza Party has seen at least one high-profile official resign her government post rather that submit to the deal.  And Tsipras himself is nowhere to be seen, reportedly choosing to deescalate tensions by staying out of the Parliament chamber.

US President Barack Obama defended the deal that would stop Iran from building an atomic bomb in exchange for relief from international financial sanctions.  Mr. Obama said the package is the best chance for success eliminating Tehran’s nuclear ambitions; insisted the deal is the only alternative on the table to war; and criticized his opponents who claim reject it for failing to come up with a better plan.  Critics of the agreement, he says, are at odds with “99 percent of the world and the majority of nuclear experts”.

The teenage son of legendary Aussie rocker Nick Cave is dead after a fall in the UK, and the family is asking for “the privacy our family needs to grieve at this difficult time”.  15-year old Arthur Cave fell from a chalk cliff at Ovingdean, Sussex, which is not too far from the family home in Brighton.  Witnesses tried to perform lifesaving techniques and the boy was airlifted to hospital, but to no avail.  “Our son Arthur died on Tuesday evening.  He was our beautiful, happy, loving boy,” read the statement from the Cave family.

The so-called “accountant of Auschwitz” has been sentenced to four years in prison for his role in the Holocaust during World War II.  94-year old Oskar Groening acknowledged moral guilt in that he helped confiscate money and valuables from 300,000 Jews sent to die in the camp just in 1944 – but he denied direct involvement in the murders.  As so much time has gone by, this is expected to be one of the last trials to come out of World War II atrocities.

Two blasts at a French petrochemical plant earlier this week were “criminal acts”, according to the Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve in his report to Parliament.  Police arrested four suspects, aged 16- to 22-years old, and their leader was in allegedly contact with imprisoned jihadists.  The burning tanks of petrol and naphtha sent columns of icky black smoke into the air, but caused no injuries.

Here are some great videos: 

It appears no one was injured when a fire broke out on the roof of a construction site in Olten, Switzerland; but it ignited a gas tank, which exploded. 

No one was hurt when a small plane carrying skydivers had to make an emergency landing on a highway in New Jersey, outside New York City.  Hey.. they paid for a thrill, they got a thrill.

Mexico release surveillance video from the cell of drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, showing how he escaped.  El Chapo puts on his shoes and heads over the toilet and shower area of his cell, disappearing through a concealed door leading to a 1.5 kilometer tunnel and freedom.

And NASA has released images from the first fly-by of the dwarf planet Pluto, showing ice mountains as high as the US Rocky Mountains.  There were also signs of geological activity on Pluto and its moon Charon.  But volcanism appears to be the only force shaping the little planet:  “We have not found a single impact crater on this image,” said mission scientist John Spencer.  “This means it must be a very young surface.”
