Good Morning Australia!! - A wave of suicide attacks target Saudi Arabia - The Baghdad bombing appears to have been even worse than first reported - Anotehr Brexit leader decides someone else is going to have to sweep it all up - And more in your CareerSpot Global News Briefs:

Saudi Arabia has been hit with multiple explosions and suicide attacks in the past 24 hours:  A large blast rocked a security building outside the Prophet's Mosque where the Prophet Muhammad is buried in the holy city of Medina, just as huge crowds had gathered for the Maghreb prayers.  Images on social media showed a column of black smoke pouring out of the blast area.  It appeared to coincide with security agents sitting down to eat and break the daily Ramadan fast.  At least two people appear to have been killed, but Saudi authorities were not immediately forthcoming with details.

Before this, two security officers were injured as a suicide bomber blew himself up near the US consulate in the Red Sea port city of Jeddah; Two other explosions struck near a Shiite mosque in the eastern city of Qatif on the Gulf coast, killing the bomber but apparently no one else.  This comes as imams announce that Ramadan is coming to an end on Wednesday - which may trigger jihadists to step up attacks to get them done before the holy month comes to an end.

The death toll in the Baghdad Bombing is being reported by different outlets as 160 to more than 200 lives lost; which either way is much worse than initial estimates.  Attackers managed to get a truck full of explosives through the Iraqi capital's security, and detonate it outside a popular shopping center as people bought food for the end of the daily Ramadan fast.  Rescuers said whole families had been killed, and victims had been very badly burned.  There is growing public anger over the government's inability to stop the attacks.

Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi is ordering security forces to stop using a useless bomb-detecting device called the ADE-651.  The so-called "magic wand" has no bomb detecting capabilities at all:  It's based on a cheap, novelty golf ball detector and the corrupt British businessman who sold US$85 Million worth of this crap to Baghdad a decade ago is now serving a ten-year prison sentence for fraud.  But even after that criminal conviction, the wands remained in regular use in Iraq.  Abadi is also ordering a review of the purchase of the fraudulent crap by the previous administration.

The new host of the BBC's Top Gear is now the former host.  Chris Evans announced his exit from the show with a terse tweet, acknowledging that sometimes giving one's best isn't good enough.  The tabloids and entertainment media are reporting that pressure to get rid of Evans came from his Canadian co-host Matt LeBlanc, the former "Joey" from the 1990s sitcom "Friends".

Nigel Farage has stepped down as leader of Britain's right-wing UKIP party, joining Boris Johnson on the sidelines as someone else has to clean up the mess they made - but had no intention of standing by.  Farage said now that he has his country back, he wants his life back.  Tell that to the millions of young people in the UK who will live with a diminished economy and fewer prospects, and fewer social benefits enjoyed by those who voted to leave the EU.  SMDH.

The UK gross domestic product is set to lose something between 1.5 percent and 4.5 percent, according to IMF Chief Christine Lagarde.  In an interview with LeMonde, she also said that "uncertainty" will be the watchword for sometime, once the UK triggers its exit from the European Union.
