Good Morning, Australia! – Iran nuclear talks go to overtime – Goodluck Jonathan concedes he lost Nigeria’s presidential race – Lufthansa knew about a troubled young co-pilot’s problems – And a lot more in your CareerSpot World News Briefs:

Talks between the six major world powers and Iran will likely go past the midnight deadline in Lausanne, Switzerland.  Right now, there is no sign that the most contentious issues have been resolved.  The world powers want to restrict Iran's nuclear program in return for relief from crippling sanctions.

Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan is conceding the presidential election to challenger and former general Muhammadu Buhari.  This is a big deal because ever since gaining independence from the UK in 1960s, Nigeria’s leaders tend to leave office with a shove, or a coup, or something similarly undemocratic.  But, Jonathan and Buhari had earlier vowed to respect the outcome of the polls.  Buhari himself was a military ruler for a year in the 1980s, who came to and left power via coups.  This time around, he says he is dedicated to democracy.

Lufthansa is admitting that co-pilot Andreas Lubitz had informed the aviation giant that he had previously suffered from severe depression.  The airline shared documents with prosecutors, including emails from 2009, that show Lubitz informed his flying instructors about a “previous episode of severe depression”.  Until now, it was believed that Lubitz had concealed his problems from his employer prior to the crash of Germanwings Flight 9525 in the French Alps, which officials believe he deliberately caused.

The heads of Lufthansa and its subsidiary Germanwings are expected at the area where Flight 9525 crashed, killing all 150 people on board.  They’ll inspect recovery operations and pay their respects to the dead.

Shots were heard and an ambulance was rushed to the building where suspected Communist militants were holding a Turkish prosecutor hostage.  The Revolutionary People’s Liberation Party-Front (DHKP-C) posted pictures on social media of a gun being held to Mehmet Selim Kiraz’s head.  Kiraz is investigating the death of a teen who mortally wounded in the head by a police tear gas canister during anti-government protests in Turkey in 2013.  The militants demanded a television confession by the cops who killed Elvan; their prosecution in a “people’s court”; and acquittal of all people being tried for participation in solidarity rallies.

The leader of Thailand’s junta is asking the king for permission to bring an end to martial law – and that’s not a good thing.  “Prime Minister” (ha ha ha) Prayuth Chan-ocha wants to enact Article 44 of the post-coup constitution, which allows him to issue direct orders to “disrupt or suppress” threats to national security or the monarchy.  In other words, he wants to go from martial law to dictatorship.  “This is something very unique and worrying and it is not going to improve the rights situation and ongoing repression,” said Human Rights Watch spokesman Sunai Phasuk.

Peru’s legislature sacked the prime minister over concerns about domestic spying against lawmakers, reporters, business leaders and other citizens.  Now, here’s the problem:  Ana Jara never actually issued any orders for the surveillance that went on under previous administrations dating back to 2005, and she was trying to investigate it herself.  So why hold Jara responsible?  Well, Jara and President Ollanta Humala belong to the Left-wing “Peruvian Nationalist” party.  And.. “Although she did not give instructions for this to happen, it is clear that in politics someone has to take responsibility,” said right wing opposition lawmaker Javier Bedoya.
