Good Morning, Australia! – Computer problems in the US – Should authorities call the “Blue Bloods” on a famous (alleged) water thief? – Australia extradites an alleged war criminal – A horrific crime in Japan for the stupidest of reasons – And more in your CareerSpot World News Briefs:

United Airlines flights resumed after a technical problem forced the airline to declare a worldwide ground stop, impacting 4,900 flights. The airline says it traced the problem to a computer router that “degraded network connectivity for various applications,” according to United Airlines spokeswoman Jennifer Dohm.  The problem lasted for about an hour and 20 minutes during the morning commute in America, delaying flights and leading to long lines in Airports.

A few hours later, the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) resumed trading after what is being called a separate computer issue stopped for three and a half hours at midday.  Trading did not stop on the NASDAQ and S&P indices, nor with online trading that occurs before being registered at the NYSE.  “I have spoken to the CEO of United myself,” said United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) chief Jeh Johnson, “and it appears that the malfunctions from United and New York Stock Exchange were not the result of any nefarious actor.”  Meaning, they don’t think it was a hack.

Speaking of nefarious actors, “Magnum, P.I.” and “Bluebloods” star Tom Selleck is in hot water for allegedly stealing cool water.  As you probably know, California is in the midst of a terrible drought, and every drop of water is under scrutiny.  The Calleguas Municipal Water District says that a white tanker truck has been seen filling up at a public hydrant more than a dozen times in the last two years.  So officials hired a P.I. – who probably didn’t drive a red Ferrari or wear a Hawaiian shirt – to find out where that truck was going.  They tracked it to a different water district, to the “Quigley Down Under” star’s sprawling 60-acre ranch near Los Angeles where he grows avocados.  And possibly shoots at them, because he’s also a certified gun nut.  In addition to legal fees and investigative costs, the water district is seeking a preliminary and permanent injunction barring Selleck and his contractors or employees from taking water from the Calleguas district.

Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras says his government will submit “credible” reform proposals to Greece’s European creditors by the deadline they set for Thursday.  Athens needs a third bailout to avoid bankruptcy and possibly leaving the Eurozone and European Union.  Although they don’t act like it, Europe needs Greece’s economy to be viable so that it can pay back its debt. 

Colombia’s Marxist FARC rebels have called another unilateral ceasefire to come into force on 20 July.  The government welcomed the move, but refused to reciprocate saying that more work was needed before there is a bilateral truce. 

Australia has extradited a war crimes suspect to face charges in Croatia.  Dragan Vasiljkovic – also known as Daniel Snedded, or Captain Dragan – is accused of murder and torture during the Balkans war in 1991 to 1995.  He’s since gotten Australian citizenship and fought extradition for a decade, but ran out of legal options two months ago.

Boko Haram is purportedly offering to swap the 219 girls kidnapped from their boarding school at Chibok town for some jailed militants.  A human rights lawyer trying to act as a go-between claims it represents an opportunity for dialogue.  Meanwhile, Chadian officials say Boko Haram militants crossed the border from Nigeria to stage attacks in two villages, murdering at least 26 people.  The terrorist group has stepped up attacks – killing 350 civilians in the past nine days – in response to the offensive mounted by soldiers from Nigeria and its neighbors, Chad, Cameroon, and Niger.

Police in Japan arrested a navy Lieutenant for setting fire to his home, killing four of his children and injuring his wife and three more of their kids.  40-year old Kenichiro Suemune told police he got angry with his wife because she didn’t properly see him off as he was leaving to go back to base – so he poured some kerosene in the house in Oita Prefecture and set it alight.  The murdered children were aged five- through 14-years old.  “I wanted her to show some concern for me,” police quoted him as saying.
