Hi Diddly Ho, Australinos, guess who’s returning to The Simpsons? (Exxxcelent..) – Europe sets a deadline for Greece – Subway suspends its most well-known spokesman in a growing scandal – And more in your CareerSpot World News Briefs:

Eurozone leaders are drawing a line in the sand and demanding the Greece come up with new proposals to secure a deal with its creditors by Thursday.  This comes after Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras arrived in Brussels for further talks with a smile for everyone, but no new plans – just a mandate from 11 Million Greek voters to reject Europe’s harmful, regressive austerity policies once and for all.  But Europe isn’t even unified on the deadline – Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi separately said Greece should be given until Sunday.

Negotiators again extended the deadline for nuclear talks between the major world powers and Iran, this time for three days.  The current sticking point – Russia disagrees with the West over maintaining the arms embargo.  The US and its western European allies have offered relief from economic and financial sanctions, but are resisting an end to the arms embargo, concerned about Iran’s military support for armed groups across the region.

The UN World Health Organization was too slow in responding to the West African Ebola Epidemic and lacks the capacity and internal culture to mount an effective response to future epidemics.  That is the scathing conclusion of a report commissioned by WHO itself.  Part of the blame goes to member states for failing to collect data and carry out surveillance to pick up infectious disease outbreaks at an early stage.  The report calls for an urgent overhaul of the organization to “re-establish its pre-eminence as the guardian of global public health”.

Two Americans and a Brit were gored in this year’s first running of the bulls in Pamplona, Spain.  Eight others were treated for various other injuries.  None are considered to be life threatening – although a 38-year-old American was gored in the armpit, and a 30-year-old Brit was gored in the groin.  Ouch.  Still, they’re better off than the bulls, which get killed in the bull-fighting ring, to the dismay of animals rights activists.

Italy buried the first 13 of hundreds of immigrants killed in a capsizing tragedy in the Mediterranean Sea in April.  Some 800 drowned when migrants on board a derelict rushed to one side of the boat as a rescue ship approached.  Only 28 people are known to have survived.  Italy’s government vows to do everything possible to reclaim the bodies from their watery grave – 370 meters deep.

Japan is expected to release an American auto executive without charging her for trying to smuggle a painkiller into the country.  But 55-year old Julie Hamp has resigned her job as a managing officer with Toyota.  Authorities intercepted a package from the United States mailed to her in Japan; it contained several oxycodone pills in a box labeled “necklaces”.  Hamp insists it was a misunderstanding and there was no attempt to conceal the pills, which were for her knee pain.

Subway has suspended its relationship with spokesman Jared Fogle, who famously lost 250 pounds on the Subway diet.  This comes after police searched his home in Indiana for evidence of child pornography and hauled off computers and other items.  His lawyer says Jared is cooperating with the investigation, and he has not been implicated in nor charged with any crime.  Two months ago, cops arrested the head of the weight loss charity Jared Foundation and charged with seven counts of production and one count of possession of child pornography.

Excellent – Actor Harry Shearer has rejoined the cast of The Simpsons for a 27th season.  Two months ago, Shearer had announced he was leaving the show in a dispute over money, and producers suggested they were finding new voices for Shearer’s characters – Mr. Burns, Smithers, Ned Flanders, Seymour Skinner, Lenny, Dr. Hibbert, Kent Brockman, Reverend Lovejoy, and Otto.
