First things first:  Polish forest rangers rescued an orphaned Brown Bear Cub found in the southeastern mountains.  The California Highway Patrol safely apprehended a little black Chihuahua who was running along the Bay Bridge from Oakland to San Francisco, and are trying to track down its owner.  That's a long bridge with a lot of climbing, so you can imagine the little feller was tuckered out. 

The release of the "Panama Papers" has put many a world leader on the back foot and defending their finances.  The largest-ever data leak comes from a Panamanian law firm named Massock Fonseca which helps the world's top one percent hide their wealth in tax shelters and dummy corporations.  Thousands of protesters surrounded Iceland's parliament, demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Sigmundur David Gunnlaugsson who was identified as having undeclared interest in the banks that were bailed out after the 2008 crash.  He's running away from interviews but refusing to step down.

Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif claims his son has done nothing wrong with his offshore shell companies identified in the Panama Papers.  The son of embattled Malaysian PM Najib Abdul Razak created two shell corporations during his father's term in office.  The administration of Argentina's conservative new President Mauricio Macri denies he was a stakeholder in shell corporation exposed in the leak, but acknowledged he was the CEO.  Argentina's conservative newspapers then incorrectly claimed that the family of former President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner and her late husband were named in the leak when in fact no such evidence has emerged.

France's President Francois Hollande loves the leak and congratulates the Panama Papers' whistleblower(s).

Strangely absent from the first round of revelations from the Panama papers:  Americans, which brought this sardonic tweet from media critic Adam Johnson.  That may be because the other shoe has yet to drop; there are 11.5 million pages of documents and only a few have been revealed.  Another possible reason is the 2010 United States - Panama Trade Promotion Agreement.  The Obama Administration specifically negotiated a clause taxation clause that makes it more difficult for America's wealthy from using Panama as a shelter.  Still, the US Justice Department is reviewing the leak for evidence of possible criminal wrongdoing.  

The European Union began shipping migrants from Greece's eastern islands to Turkey, as part of a controversial plan to ease the refugee crisis in Europe.  The first group included 202 people from 11 nations - only three were from Syria and Iraq.  Human rights groups expressed deep concern over the operation, and disagree with the characterization of Turkey as a "safe" third country.

Despite a declared cease-fire, six people died as more fighting flared up in the disputed territory of Nagorno-Karabakh, which is recognized as part of Azerbaijan but has a separatist population that wishes to break away and join Armenia, which is warning of all-out war if the situation doesn't cool.  Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and US Secretary of State John Kerry spoke on the phone Monday and called for both sides to stop fighting.  The Russian Foreign Ministry statement also condemned unnamed "outside players" for trying to heat up the conflict, which had been dormant for 20 years prior to this past weekend.  That is being interpreted as a warning to Turkey, which issued a statement of strong support to Azerbaijan.

Syrian forces backed by Russian air strikes took another town back from Islamic State, taking al-Qaryatain just days after chasing IS out of Palmyra.  Another air strike took out Abu Firas al-Suri died, described as a leader of the al Qaeda-linked al Nusra front.  Across the border, Iraqi troops and Shiite militias are making progress in retaking the city of Hit, but suicide bombers managed to killed 25 in predominantly Shiite areas of the country.

Air France will allow female crewmembers and pilots to opt out of flights to Iran, after workers were outraged by airline wardrobe guidelines urging women to wear headscarves and loose clothing to avoid problems with the country's traditional clothing culture.  The union says the opt out policy is fair. 

Two planes collided on the runway at Jakarta's Halim Perdanakusuma International Airport last night, but no passengers or crew were harmed.  The Batik Airlines Boeing 737 had been cleared for take-off, but aborted when its winged clipped the tail section of a smaller a TransNusa Air ATR.  Both planes were damaged and the Batik jet caught fire.  But the transportation ministry is investigating how one plane could be cleared for take-of with another one in the way.Najib Abdul Razak
