Hello Australia!! - A first for FIFA that signals a new era for football - Obama tells schools to stop bullying trans kids - Internet Trolls to the rescue!! - And more in your CareerSpot International News Links:

A former United Nations diplomat has become the first female Secretary general of the world football governing body.  In a signal that major changes are coming to football, FIFA picked Senegal's Fatma Samba Diouf Samoura.  "She has a proven ability to build and lead teams, and improve the way organizations perform. Importantly for Fifa, she also understands that transparency and accountability are at the heart of any well-run and responsible organization," said FIFA president Gianni Infantino.  Ms. Samoura replaces former secretary general Jerome Valcke, who was banned from the sport for 12 years.

US President Barack Obama is telling public schools to allow transgender students to use whichever restroom they want.  As you can imagine, that's not playing well in dumbass redneck parts of the country, and some officials are vowing to disobey the rule.  But those who would rather play tough guy and harm sensitive children than just be a decent person (and stop being obsessed with other people's potty habits) risk lawsuits or the loss of federal aid if they do not comply.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau got a first-hand look at Fort McMurray and other areas hard-hit by the giant wildfire that tore through Alberta.  Mr. Trudeau toured the area and thanked fire fighters for their work.  The city is still closed off to the general public, thousands of homes and buildings are lost, and 90,000 people have no idea when they will be able to return home as smoke is still rising in the burn area.  But amazingly - no fatalities.

Most of the 9,000 people who needed to be evacuated out from under a toxic cloud from a tyre fire in Spain had already hit the road, and local officials in the Quinon de Sesena area said the remaining 1,000 might be at risk.  Police believe the fire at Europe's largest tyre dump was deliberately set.

Now that the empire has bagged Brazil President Dilma Rousseff, a judge in Argentina charged former president Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner (CFK) with an elaborate scheme to sell derivatives below market value and depress the value of the currency for the conservative administration that succeeded hers.  Sound ridiculous and made-up?  That's what they did to Dilma.

Meanwhile, the 75-year old white male who took over as Brazil's finance minister plans to hack, hack, hack away at pensions and labor rights.  Congratulations, Brazil, you fell for this!  Henrique Meirelles was short on details in his first news conference as economy czar and says concrete proposals will come later.  Mind you, Dilma Rousseff in 2015 attempted to reign in Brazil's ill-policed and out-of-control pension system, which allows some people to retire in their 40s and 50s - but the conservative-controlled congress that later impeached her fought her and expanded pensions to exasperate the problem.

The government of Cambodia has informed media outlets that they must refer to PM Hun Sen as "Lord Prime Minister and Supreme Military Commander".  That goes for TV, Radio, and Print, and the lengthy title must be used on the first reference.  Alrighty then.  Oh, and first lady Bun Rany Hun Sen's title will be "Celebrated Senior Scholar Bun Rany Hun Sen".  Hun Sen is a strongman-style leader who has been trying to exert more control over the media in recent months.

Internet Trolls have gloriously hijacked the racist gunman who got away with murdering Florida teen Trayvon Martin from auctioning off the weapon he used.  Fake bidders with names like "Racist McShootface" and"Weedlord BonerHitler" drove the price up to more than $65 Million, throwing the integrity of the auction into the trash.  Where George Zimmerman belongs.  Zimmerman was the self-appointed "neighborhood watchman" when he gunned down 17-year old Martin in 2012, because he didn't recognize the African-American teen who lived in the community.  Unemployable after the infamous crime, Zimmerman has been getting by on donations from racist groups - but that apparently isn't paying the bills so he's selling the gun.
