Howdy Australia!! - The Canadian killers of an Aussie man continue to elude police - One of Trump's last "grown ups" is quitting - How Bolsonaro might ruin the entire world - And more in your CareerSpot Global News Briefs: 

Canadian police widened their search for the suspected killers of a NSW man to another town in the northern wilderness.  Crisis negotiators, tracker dogs, and high-tech kit including drones and infrared cameras are now moving towards York Landing, Manitoba, which is 80 kilometers from the town of Gillam, the last town where Kam McLeod and Bryer Schmegelsky were believed to be hiding.  The two are suspected of killing Australian Lucas Fowler and his American girlfriend Chynna Deece, and are already charged with killing Vancouver college professor Leonard Dyck.

Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny was rushed from jail to hospital, and one of his doctors said he appeared to be "the result of harmful effects of undefined chemical substances".  Moscow police arrested Navalny last week for calling people to attend an anti-government protest on Saturday; he was in jail but the demonstrations went on anyway, with around 1,500 arrests.  On Sunday morning, he was taken to hospital with officials claiming that he suffered a "severe allergic reaction", and his associates noting he never had allergies before.  President Vladimir Putin's enemies tend to die, such as opposition politician Boris Nemtsov who was shot dead outside the Kremlin in 2015.

US Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats will step down.  He was widely considered to be one of (if not the) last "grown ups in the room" who would tell Donald Trump not to act on his worst impulses, and fought to keep the intelligence community free of Trump's politics.  Trump plans to replace him with Texas Republican Rep. John Ratcliffe, who caught  Trump's eye by aggressively questioning former special counsel Robert Mueller during last week's congressional hearings on his report on Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

The Islamist terror group Boko Haram attacked a funeral in northeastern Nigeria, killing at least 65 people.  This was apparently a revenge attack for the deaths of eleven Boko Haram fighters in the same village near the Borno state capital Maiduguri two weeks ago.  Boko Haram is infamous for these sorts of civilian massacres and suicide bombings, and known internationally for the kidnapping of nearly 300 school girls from Chibok - around half of them are still missing.  Terrorists in the area are staging something of a comeback after being nearly wiped out a couple of years ago when regional nations banded together to fight.  

Heavily armed gold miners invaded an indigenous reserve in far northern Brazil, killing a village leader.  "This is the first violent invasion in 30 years since the demarcation of the indigenous reserves in Amapa," said Senator Rodolfe Rodrigues, and the Brazilian Bar Association issued a statement calling on the government to protect the Waiapi's land.  But far-right President Jair Bolsonaro opposed the existence of indigenous reserves and has called for the "first world" to exploit the "absurd quantity of minerals" in the Amazon rainforest.

Which, BTW, is disappearing because of Bolsonaro.  The New York Times reports that almost 3,500 square kilometers of the Brazilian rainforest have disappeared since Jair Bolsonaro became president and announced his intention to clear it for farming, ranching, energy, and mining.  The rate of forest clearing has increased by 80 percent in recent weeks.  The Amazon's vast green tree cover absorb and store carbon dioxide, preventing the gas from overwhelming our atmosphere.  Without it, greenhouse gases have no where to go except the atmosphere, accelerating the rate of global warming.  And when temperatures regularly exceed 50 C degrees in Oz, we'll know who to thank.
