Good Morning, Australia! – A big blow against ivory and rhino horn smugglers – More warnings from Europe even though Greece pretty much made up its mind – Eight civilians are killed in Iraq as a bomb fails to hit its mark – And more in your CareerSpot World News Briefs:

Yanis Varoufakis is out, and Euclid Tsakalotos is Greece’s new Finance Minister who will take over presumed negotiations with the country’s European Creditors.  The economist is known for a less combative style than former Sydney-sider Yanis.  But he will still be working with the decision of Greek people by referendum to reject the terms of European austerity.

Europe still hasn’t come up with a response to the Greek peoples’ referendum telling creditors to take their austerity and shove it.  French President Francois Hollande and German Chancellor Angela Merkel appeared at a joint news conference to say there is still time for Greece – but only if Athens puts force new, “serious, credible” proposals on how to break the deadlock.  However, the creditors already rejected Greece’s plans to protect the pensions of people who never saw a dime of the bailout and raise taxes on the rich and corporations.  And Europe is not in favor of extending the terms of the bailout and cancellign a chunk of Greece’s debt.

Authorities say an Iraqi warplane accidentally bombed eastern Baghdad, killing at least eight people.  The Russian-made Sukhoi Su-25 had taken part in a bombing raid against Islamic State targets, but one weapon failed to detach during the mission – it stayed as the pilot returned to base, falling to earth on the Jadida neighborhood.  The US agreed to sell new F-16s to replace Iraq’s aging Sukhois, but they’re still being used for Iraqi pilot training in Arizona.

In the US, the South Carolina state senate voted overwhelmingly to remove the Confederate flag from government buildings.  The state house is expected to vote on the bill on Tuesday.  Lawmakers in the extremely conservative southern state finally got the idea that the vulgar red and blue banner frequently associated with white supremacist groups needed to go after a scrawny racist murdered nine black people in a church bible study group.

Mozambique burned the world’s largest seizure of rhino horn on Monday in an effort to strip the profits out of poaching.  Burning the haul of 193.5 kilograms of horn and 2,434.6 kilos of elephant ivory shows “the commitment of the government that there's zero tolerance for poaching of our natural resources,” said conservation official Samiro Magane.  Mozambique’s rhino population has been virtually wiped out, and officials are looking into whether the horns came from rhinos killed in South Africa. 

Pope Francis presides over mass in Guayaquil, Ecuador.  The news says hundreds of thousands attended, looks like a million to me.  You decide.

Crikey.  Emu thinks he’s a horse.
